Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

So your latest position is that Srila Prabhupada was the sole diksa guru for

ISKCON, and that he was a diksa guru for ISKCON. So when you wrote:

This was once again a misstatement of your actual position. See, its a good

job I keep forcing you to deal with your contradictions since otherwise no

one would know what you really, really, really meant. Unless we know what is

stopping you from understanding something it will be impossible to prove

anything to you. So you actually do mean he was the sole diksa guru for

ISKCON after all. So you did contradict your position when you asked:

 

“Did Srila Prabhupada announce that he will stop being the sole diksa-guru

for ISKCON?” Ramakanta Dec 02, 2005 - 10:43 PM

 

then claimed:

 

‘He announced it.’

 

And then wrote:

 

> “I did not write that Srila Prabhupada announced he would stop being the

> diksa guru for ISKCON. So this is a straw man argument.”(

as I correctly asserted. If you admit that you contradicted yourself I shall

happily go to the next point.

Best wishes
