Thank you for your answer. I am just a little surprised that it took you six

weeks to give that simple answer.

Your position that you explained in your previous lengthy post is basically

the same as my position: Srila Prabhupada was to sole diksa guru for ISKCON

and as such he acted accordingly.

 

But I challenged following claim:

 

"Srila Prabhupada set himself up, deliberately, in the position of the sole

diksa guru for ISKCON in 1966." (Yaduraja, Nov 16, 2005)

 

Or as I understand it:

 

In 1966 Srila Prabhupada did something, deliberately, with the intended

result that afterwards he was the sole diksa guru for ISKCON which he was

not before (he did that something).

 

Do you still claim this? If not, just tell me.

 

And I challenged following claim:

 

"he was the very person who set himself up as the founder Acarya for that

institution" (Yaduraja, Mar 19, 2006)

 

Do you still claim this?

 

 

> Do you know what the word HINDSIGHT means, if not please look it up?

 

I looked it up at www.dictionary.com. There it says: "Perception of the

significance and nature of events after they have occurred". So it is based

on observation through imperfect senses. Therefore, hindsight is not of much

importance.
