Thanks for these incouraging words. Are these also meant to

illustrate your conclusion about the necessity for Srila

Prabhupada's disciples to get such an acrya in order to

access Srila Prabhupada's vani?

 

Faith? Well... I still have the faith that Srila Prabhupada's

disciples will make it even without that another acarya. I have

just lost my spiritual master, but I nevertheless didn't loose

the faith that other ISCKON gurus and senior disciples of Prabhupada

are capable of understanding Srila Prabhupada's books and delivering

themselves by following his vani, and pulling this ISCKON (us)

forward.

 

When I lose that faith, then I will cry to Krsna to save us all,

our Gurus and us.

I would be more than glad to avoid making you repeating the

same. But that would mean that I ought to read "the writings

of Bhaktivinoda" as "the writings of Prabhupada". I can't

do that, sorry. Please don't insist. Srila Prabhupada made

his writings accessible to his disciples and his followers

without to be obligatory HEARED from the lips of an another

pure devote.

 

So, I will simply avoid discussing this particular point

further, since I can't help you otherwise stop repeating

Bhaktisiddhanta's point that Thakura's writings need to

be heard from the lips of the pure devotee.

My idea was that in the case of our discovering the "siddhanta"

which would lead to correcting our spiritual authorities in

their approach to their spiritual master (Srila Prabhupada),

in that case, maybe it would be perhaps advisable to first

do some consultation with some of those spiritual authorities

(that we might still have trust to) before we let that "siddhanta"

out into public.

 

Or am I too odd?
