Guest guest Posted July 18, 1999 Report Share Posted July 18, 1999 SRILA PRABHUPADA SPEAKS ON SIKSA-GURU (C.C. Adi 1.58) jive saksat nahi tate guru caittya-rupe siksa-guru haya krsna-mahanta-svarupe "Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a LIBERATED devotee. Such a spiritual master is no one other than Krsna Himself." "It is not possible to directly meet Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but if one becomes a sincere devotee and seriously engages in devotional service, Krsna sends an instructing spiritual master to show him favor and invoke his dormant propensity for serving the Supreme. The preceptor appears before the EXTERNAL SENSES of the fortunate conditioned soul, and at the same time the devotee is guided from within by the caittya-guru, Krsna, who is seated as the spiritual master within the heart of the living entity."

First of all, "rightful acarya of ISKCON" is your obsessive preoccupation. Whoever brought up that issue besides you and Mahanidhi? (more straw-man arguments, that's all). But more to the point, Lord Brahma has appeared before your EXTERNAL SENSES, eh? Just a question of clarification. Srila das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
