Guest guest Posted October 5, 1999 Report Share Posted October 5, 1999 >> As for the disciples of other gurus, there were many instances when devotees asked their diksa-guru for permission to take siksa from or simply association of NM or other advanced senior vaisnavas, and the diksa-guru said "no" without giving any proper philosophical explanation. In such a case, as stated in Jaiva Dharma, the disciple may reject his diksa guru and take shelter of that advanced vaisnava because his diksa guru is envious of the vaisnavas and has the false ego. So the devotees did it and NM had to give them shelter. Why should he be blamed for that?>> Isn't that a convenient explanation. Poor gurus; damned if they do and damned if they don't. There are GBC resolutions against associating with NM. Are you suggesting that ISKCON gurus disobey the GBC (thus directly disobeying Srila Prabhupada's order)? And if the follow the GBC and tell their disciples *not* to associate with NM, then the NM camp considers it OK for them to reject their gurus and take shelter of NM. How clever. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny. Ys, Madhusudani dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
