Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Dear prabhu ji, I would also like to add that Srila Prabhupad has made it clear that his books would guide the movement for the next 10,000 years. No 2. In his books Srila prabhupad never mentions about RIKVIK initianion after the guru's departure. No3 In the tape conversation ,Srila prabhupad has made it clear that the new generations would become the disciples of his disciples. No4 We must not forget that The one who becomes the guru,he should control the urges of the tongue,stomach,genital,belly and words.Only then ,he can make disciples.Otherwise,he should not. Who is the most qualified to change the instructions of Srila rupa Goswami. No 5 note: Srila prabhupad has also made it clear that THE G.B.C IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY AFTER HIS DEPARTURE.So,then where is the question of the court. N0 6 Why waste time about only one letter that says Rikvik initiation ''HENCEFORWARD", where all Srila prabhupad's books and examples don't talk of it. No7 It should be also clear to us that rikvik was intented temporarily just because ,Srila prabhupad could not travel everywhere to give initiation. N08 We must also note that the 9 rikviks appointed by Srila prabhupad who claimed to be the acaryas thereafter made a blunder in considering themselves as acaryas,were later rectified.(WHERE MORE GODBROTHERS WERE ADDED). No9 Therefore our only problem at this level is to make sure that we don't make diksa-gurus who are not capable of being a guru. And that sanyasa is taken to get name and disciples. No10 I suggest that the G.BC extend the guruship possition only as form the age of 50.This would mean that guru is much more steady and the chance of falling would be less.Secondly,that the sanyasa ashram could be given,but not for initiation up to the age of 50.This demonstrate to us that Even Srila Prabhupad completed His grihastha Asrama at a certain age and then,he took sanyasa and guruship .I suggest that the role of taking discipleship is not ordinary and that not everybody should be given so easily.I think that the trust of the ISkcon members will grow more and produce more confidence in devotees and leadership if this measurement is taken. N0 11 I want to ask you a question" is sanyasa Ashram given by Srila prabhupad was meant for accepting disciples or for preaching only".Then who is qualified to give diksa.?
