This is a ludicrous argument ("Srila Prabhupada did not say, therefore the

opposite is true").

What has the GBC's guru system to do with ritviks? Please explain.

 

> with its voted-in,

 

You misunderstood the current guru system. The GBC does not vote-in gurus.

Where did you read that? Please quote. The GBC votes-out unqualified gurus.

 

> non-Indian Gurus; a system which has never been practised before.

 

Are you saying that Krishna, Brahma, Narada, Vyasa are all Indian gurus?

 

> c) There is no historical precedent for a disciple to reject an order of

> his Guru purely on the basis that it has no historical precedent,

> therefore the argument is self-contradictory.

 

Another ludicrous argument.
