Srila Prabhupada also advised if there was some philosophical questions that

could not be answree/[devotees could seek help from Srila Sridhara maharaja or

Naryana Maharaja.If these devotees where so dear to Srila Prabhupada as his

letters indicate, then how can we offend such great vaisnavas and expect to

please Srila Prabhupada???

As far as I'm concerned, one take complete shelter of any Gaudiya Vaisnva he

may so desire. Yet I know of no specific instructions where Prabhupada

requests his followers to become disciples of other gurus. Making a

philosophical inquiry and taking siksa/diksa are not necessarily the same

thing.

For example Srila Prabhupada said he wanted all his disciples to distribute

his books.Now who is doing that????

At least we can have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of Prabhupada's

vision, even if we feel personally unqualified to fulfil his preaching mission

in so many ways.

ISKCON temples????Even if they don't molest children anymore.

 

 

 

Yes, no on in ISKCON is loyal to Srila Prabhupada. Only devotees outside who

take shelter of other devotees who are not his disciples. It makes sense to me

now.

 

If we feel strong in our relationship with Srila Prabhupada, then I don't

quite understand the need to defend our personal relationship by attacking

everyone elses.
