Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Dear Yaduraja Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! In case you did not notice: I posted two texts. You commented only on the less important one. In your last text you have proven that if Srila Prabhupada did not act according to Krishna's plan, then he would not have been a bona fide spiritual master. But that was not your claim. So again you have wasted time proving something that I did not ask you to prove. Your claim was: If it was not Krishna’s plan to have Srila Prabhupada become the sole diksa guru for ISKCON in 1966, then Srila Prabhupada would not have been a bona fide spiritual master. I shall now show in two ways that this statement is wrong. First let us look at the contrapositive (which is equivalent): If Srila Prabhupada was a bona fide spiritual master, then it was Krishna’s plan to have Srila Prabhupada become the sole diksa guru. So you as a conditioned soul with an imperfect brain claim that you know Krishna's plan. You must be kidding. Second, your claim must be true for any plan of Krishna not wanting Srila Prabhupada as the sole diksa guru. Therefore following statement must be true also: If it was Krishna plan to have multiple diksa gurus for ISKCON in 1966 with Srila Prabhupada as one of them, then Srila Prabhupada would not have been a bona fide spiritual master. (Note that the question is not whether this was Krishna's plan or not. The question is only whether this statement is true or not.) This statement is not true because if it was Krishna's plan to have multiple diksa gurus for ISKCON in 1966 with Srila Prabhupada as one of them, then in 1966 Srila Prabhupada acted exactly according to this plan: He asked his godbrothers to help him in ISKCON (certainly not to wash the pots) and he initiated disciples. There is no reason for not being a bona fide spiritual master. So you failed to prove that if it was not Krishna’s plan to have Srila Prabhupada become the sole diksa guru for ISKCON in 1966, then Srila Prabhupada would not have been a bona fide spiritual master. And what about the proof of your claim that in 1966 Srila Prabhupada wanted to be the sole diksa guru for ISKCON? Will you ever present a complete proof? ys Ramakanta dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
