Janesvara Prabhu mentioned that there does not appear to be much emphasis on

the works of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati. Srila Prabhupada said we

should not hesitate to print any of his articles. Yet in ISKCON they appear

to be almost unheard of. Why is that? Is the siddhanta too revealing?

 

Maybe better late than never?

And how and when was it that they received diksa? Was there a particular

ceremony which I missed?

 

Madhava Gosh Prabhu, or other Prabhupada disciples on this conference, would

you please describe to me when it was that you received diksa from Srila

Prabhupada?

How was it "performed". Did you speak/hear directly/personally to Srila

Prabhupada when it happened.

 

Please, please respond. This is a very serious question of mine, not

rhetorical.

 

Thank you in advance.
