Guest guest Posted May 19, 1999 Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 Dear GBC and Srila Prabhupada, My humble dandavats to you. AGTSP. Adri and Madhu seem to have lost their ability of speaking seeing all this arguments. BG. 18. 78 yatra yogesvarah krsno yatra partho dhanur-dharah tatra srir vijayo bhutir dhruva nitir matir mama The diksa of Bhaktivinode Thakur is showing that a sincere devotee can be a guru, through later he may commit mistakes. Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur had a diksa guru, who later had somehow became envious of the vaisnavas Bipin Bihari. So a nitya siddha, the seventh goswami had a guru who left the path of pure devotion. But does this disqualify him? He didn't choose a uttama adhikari guru or a nitya siddha to give him the mantras. The mantras are already empowered by Krsna, and the mercy is so flowing. Interesting is that Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur didn't take re-initiation as far I heard, but took only siksa from Jagannath Babaji Maharaja. So dear Adri and Madhu Pr., do you want to show that Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur didn't know the sastras exepting Bipin Bihari as his guru? He took a devotee as his guru who was at the time of initiation sincere and so he was the link to Krsna, but later on he was even condemned by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada. Maybe because you are accepting the intra-planetary diksa and siksa process maybe you can ask Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur how this happened. But we normal souls need a living guru, who is our link to Krsna. And also Bhaktivinoda Thakur didn't call Rupa or Sanatana Goswami from the spiritual world or from an another planet to give him diksa. Your philosophy is becoming like a science fiction roman. Maybe it would be a bestseller for karmis, but for devotees it is uninteresting. Hoping that one day I can be again your servant in Srila Prabhupada's mission. Damana Krsna das Br.
