It is the same idea we always operated on in ISKCON when Srila Prabhupada was "here" and giving siksa abundantly through his books and tapes, even though his "personal" presence was not accessible to most disciples to receive diksa directly from him. It would certainly seem to me, in my opinion, that such a system could continue with success interminably? > Srila Prabhupada through his books is available as siksa to anyone, > once that person is physically connected to those books. Could this not extend to his lectures on audio tape? And further to digital recordings of his teachings which could be broadcast via phone lines and microwave signals (Internet/WWW)? The big, big mridanga? Computer video conferencing of his videotaped lectures could be accessed via modem throughout the world. Siksa from a pure devotee for everyone (with a computer).
