Thank you for your answer and interesting article.

 

My understanding/interpretation is that because shastra being Krishna's

words it is infalible, for Guru and Sadhu (jiva tattva) we have the

proof/experience already in Iskcon. Still, when the scriptures are

missiterpreted or Parampara is broken the LORD comes Himself or sends a pure

Sadhu to speak and demonstrate.

 

A problem with G-G-G might be on the part of the blind followers or if the

Guru acts merely on the strenght of his possition not on the strenght of his

realization.

My point here was that it is immposible for a religious/social/humanist

society to practically arrange for all the various bonafide life styles that

may result from an idea or scripture, assistance and guidence YES. Because

we saw what happened with the Communist CENTRALIST system and we hear many

voices against a Centralist New World Order. Krishna is the center of our

lives but I beleave He is rather Liberal not totalitarian. We should beware

of dog-matic "absulute truth" arrangements in the name of GOD. We see from

Iskcon's history after Prabhupada that there is a shift from ecxessive

authrity to lossing authority. That is a result of a natural quest. I don't

intend to suggest we measure mathematically half the way between the poles

and find the solution. Still, most devotees will find it more confortable

and progressive to live somewhere in the middle, in goodness.

 

Acintya Bheda Bheda is an open minded concept that is sometimes mind

blasting.

 

What do you expect from a playfull Blue Boy ?
