Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

If he made himself accepted and recognised as the sole diksa guru for

ISKCON, which you agree is proven, then he must have wanted to do that since

everything he did was deliberate. Please look up the word ‘deliberate’.

There is no mind reading necessary.

 

So once again, since you apparently agree that Srila Prabhupada always acted

deliberately, and that we do not need to read his mind to know this since it

is within the very definition of the term ‘Krishna Consciousness’, do you

therefore agree that when...

 

“Srila Prabhupada made himself recognised and accepted as the sole diksa

guru for ISKCON in 1966” (a fact you agree is proven)

 

he did so deliberately?

 

(English lesson for Ramakanta prabhu: If you do something deliberately it

means you do something intentionally. It means you wanted to do it. It also

means you meant to do it. )

 

Best wishes
