These are not my statements. You added the word "only".

Who claimed that? Please tell her that she is wrong.

This is another unproven claim. Srila Prabhupada just said that he is the

founder acarya of ISKCON. "Set himself up as" is speculation.

 

 

> If there were ‘no other diksa gurus available at the time’ then that is

Yes, one could speculate like this.

That depends on what you mean by "established himself as".

 

One can present hundreds of facts that do not disprove a certain claim. But

what is the use of doing that? Better you provide a proof.

 

 

I noticed that whenever I posted a little accusation, you immediately

reacted and presented arguments that my accusation was wrong. Now I have

accused you of not having proven your claim and thus not having followed

Srila Prabhupada's instruction. But this time you remained silent. Why? Is

it because you know very well that I am right?
