Dear Yaduraja Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP!

 

 

For some reason you are unable to prove your claim that before Srila

Prabhupada conducted the first initiation ceremony in ISKCON he had already

set things up to be the sole diksa guru for ISKCON. Thus you confirmed that

this is unproven. Thanks. It seems to be your nature to make claims and then

not prove them.

 

 

I will now move to your next point and discuss 'speculation' with you:

 

On Feb 13, 2006 you wrote:

Srila Prabhupada said:

"As the Vedanta-sutra (2.1.11) declares, tarkapratisthanat: 'Logical

reasoning is inconclusive.'" (NBS 74, purport)

 

And at www.dictionary.com "speculation" is described as "reasoning based on

inconclusive evidence."

 

So when you wrote "This is just simple logic", you actually said "This is

just simple speculation". Does this answer your question?
