Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

So are we.

 

ISKCON, which is Srila Prabhupada’s spiritual and legally registered

Movement, came into existence in 1966:

 

‘practically it was started in 1966’ ‘the movement was started regularly in

1966.’

 

The legal papers of registration do not contain all details of how ISKCON

would run, or how initiation would be conducted. As the Founder Acharya of

that legally registered entity it was Srila Prabhupada’s prerogative to

institute whatever systems and practices he deemed necessary once the

Movement was up and running.

As I'm sure you would agree, ISKCON did not exist in 1965.

 

If you are happy with the above I shall move on to re-prove point a).

Incidentally I shall revert back to the original point a) as given at the

start of this debate since the later re-wordings did not help to move the

debate on:

 

a)Srila Prabhupada established himself as the sole diksa guru for ISKCON in

1966.

 

Best wishes
