It's the sampradaya that is important. Over emphasis on what an individual

guru

may or may not have been or what he/she may or may not be now, seems to me to

be

missing that essesntial point. The connection made at initiation is to the

guru

as representative of the sampradaya, and is not limited to the guru as

individual.

A very good and conclusive statement. All glories to you and your inteligence.

My defence of sadhus may sound like harping to those who wish to dismiss the

point as having much validity or importance.

 

Hopefully, there are some members on this conference who will take my words

seriously, because there is nothing more serious or damaging to our spiritual

prospects than slandering senior Vaisnavas.

 

Do you take Prabhupada's books seriously?

 

Sincerely,

 

Srila dasa
