Reception of spiritual knowlege also does not appear to be limited to a relationship with the individual in whose name the diksa ceremony is performed, though it is certainly enouraged that one has a viable siksa relationship with that devotee. Ideally, one should be able to enter into a siksa relationship with his diksa guru. > > > > Or a disciple has only a siksa relationship with a bonafide guru and rides it all the way back home. > As long as we don't become holier than thou dictating to others who is bona-fide, and who we feel is not. Naturally we don't wish to create some new zonal-siksa-acarya guru system. We all agree that we can all have a siksa relationship with Srila Prabhupada and that Srila Prabhupada is bona-fide. But in my opinion, a very important measure of Srila Prabhupada's potency was his ability to train bona-fide disciples, and bona-fide disciples are competant to become tangeable representatives of the disciplic succession. ys, Sthita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
