Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO. AGTSP!!

You asked:

 

“Please tell me which one of the several meanings of "establish" you mean.”

 

I answer:

 

‘To make secure or permanent in a certain position, function or job.’

 

In the context of point a) I mean Srila Prabhupada set himself up,

deliberately, in the position of the sole diksa guru for ISKCON in 1966.

 

Of course if we ever get to point b) before the end of the next kalpa you

may be able to demonstrate that Srila Prabhupada only ever intended to be

established in that position temporarily since he left in place an

institutional mechanism by which he was meant to be replaced once he

physically departed. But we shall only get onto that possibility once we can

both agree on point a). Please take as long as you want to answer. There’s

no hurry.

 

I had requested:

 

Quote:

And please only use arguments that are YOURS

 

 

And you said:

 

“I cannot guarantee that. When I find a good argument, I will use it.”

 

Yes by all means do. I’m sure if you find a GOOD argument then you won’t

need to later claim it was not your argument.

Best wishes
