Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Dear Yaduraja Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! You presented following attempt to prove that in 1966 Srila Prabhupada wanted to be the sole diksa guru for ISKCON: > If Srila Prabhupada did it, namely make himself recognised and accepted as > the sole diksa guru for ISKCON, a point you say is proven, then he must > have wanted to do it since everything he did was deliberate. Sorry, this is not a proof. Please base your proof only on what Srila Prabhupada said. Don't write what he did and then speculate what he must have been thinking, desiring, contemplating while he did it. For example, Srila Prabhupada's first American disciple (David) went crazy, although Srila Prabhupada deliberately instructed him in order to turn him into a vaisnava. So don't tell us that the outcome of everything that Srila Prabhupada deliberately did was desired. Then you presented following attempt to proof that in 1966 Srila Prabhupada did not want several diksa gurus for ISKCON: > Interesting speculation, but our position is based on what Srila > Prabhupada actually did and said. Sorry, this is not a proof. Please explain why "in 1966 Srila Prabhupada wanted several diksa gurus for ISKCON" is speculation, but not "in 1966 Srila Prabhupada wanted one diksa guru for ISKCON". Both statements are not based on what Srila Prabhupada said. They are only speculations about what Srila Prabhupada might have been desiring while he asked his godbrothers to help him in ISKCON, or made himself recognized and accepted as the sole diksa guru for ISKCON, respectively. ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
