No, please don't. Besides, you're entitled to your opinion, even if it is

that Prabhupada can still give diksa (I'm not saying that's what you

think).

May s/he who has never had any disagreement with the GBC throw the first

stone..... oooops, where did everyone go? ;-)

Lighten up Janesh. It's just a question seeking clarification. Please set the

example of allowing others the opportunity to have their confusions cleared up

about your publicly stated conclusions.

 

Frankly, your response is eerily similar to that often given by your

godbrother

Kirtanananda. When a question would get a little too close for comfort he

would

just attack the qualifications of the questioner. Surely you don't mean to

follow

in those footsteps?

Withhunt or no witchhunt, she asked for a philosphical understanding on how

you view this issue. If you are sympathetic to the ritvik position, that would

be your personal conviction.

 

That fact remains that there are many devotees who strongly disagree with the

the TFO presentation. Similarly, the TFOers are very vocal as well.
