Dear Ramakanta prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

Me too.

You are obviously free to conclude whatever you wish. I am sure most

devotees reading our exchanges will already have decided whether or not

Srila Prabhupada established himself as the diksa guru for ISKCON in 1966 if

they had not already done so.

But even on the validity of proving point a) to you, you have once again

contradicted yourself. On the one hand you write:

> So please first provide a proof accepted by me that the fact mentioned in

> your point 1) proves your point a). (Ramakanta Feb 09, 2006 - 11:56 AM)

And on the other you claim that even if I were to achieve the impossible,

and get you to stick with agreeing to point a), this would also prove

nothing:

So since whatever 'proof' I produce you would still have to agree with it,

and since you have already said that you agreeing also proves nothing, then

clearly the whole exercise is futile. No-one but your good self has ever

queried this fact (point a), so if you are happy and feel you have achieved

whatever it was you set out to achieve then probably best to leave it there.

Best wishes
