Another nail in the ritvik coffin

[Guest guest]

"Unless one is fit according to the estimation of the spiritual master, one

cannot accept a mantra from the pancaratrika-vidhi or the vaidika-vidhi.

When one is fit to accept the mantra, one is initiated by the

pancaratrika-vidhi or the vaidika-vidhi. In any case, the result is the

same."

 

In the book called Tattva-sagara, it is stated:

 

“If by chance one gets a sad-guru, it doesn’t matter whether one is in the

temple or the forest. If the sad-guru, the bona fide spiritual master,

agrees, one can be initiated immediately, without waiting for a suitable

time or place.”

 

Madhya lila 24 verse 331, purport

 

>From these statements it is clear, as have been pointed out before, that

initiation is a two way program. Not only does the disciple have to accept a

spiritual master but the guru also has to accept the disciple. Therefore it

is clear that so called ritvik initiation is merely another Kali-yuga

deviation, that should be relocated to the garbage bin where it belongs.
