I understood your explanation and I agree with it. But I did not ask you to

prove that Srila Prabhupada did something deliberately. I asked you to prove

that in 1966 Srila Prabhupada wanted to be the sole diksa guru for ISKCON.

I do not have to prove a statement that I did not make. I did not write that

Srila Prabhupada may have meant to do the opposite of what he did. I wrote

that it is possible that Srila Prabhupada wanted several diksa gurus.

 

Anyway, here are two examples that prove that sometimes Srila Prabhupada did

something which he did not want to do:

 

Srila Prabhupada did not want to take sannyasa, but he did.

 

"I did not want to take sannyasa." (Morning Walk, July 3, 1975, Denver)

 

Srila Prabhupada did not want to see Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur the

first time, but he went.

 

"But although I did not want to go, one of my friends, who is still living

in Calcutta, forcibly took me to His Divine Grace." (SSR 8)

 

 

What you wrote so far is not a proof of your claim that in 1966 Srila

Prabhupada wanted to be the sole diksa guru for ISKCON. So please try again

prove your claim, or admit that it is unproven.
