I assume you are referring here to the fact that there is a "gap" between

the previously listed Narottama Das Thakur and Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur.

But you should realize that Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur did have a diksa

guru. Just because his guru's name is not mentioned does not mean that he

wasn't qualified.

 

And you say that siksa from Srila Prabhupada is all that is necessary. But

Srila Prabhupada's siksa is that we should chant the holy name, take diksa,

and worship the deity according to the agama sastras. So what do you mean by

this statement?

 

Your servant, Bhaktarupa Das
