First - sastra says that if your guru divert from siddhanta then you leave

him, then how many times are you ready to change guru? then how is possible

to recognize guru who would not fall down if they are? then even if fall

down occurs - "My devotee never perishes", It is such a complicated topic

taht actually need support because of our immatiurity. How many devotees

take their guru fall down as a licence for their fall down? So on so on. So

I suggest Krishna Kirti Prabhu to organize such conference with support of

HDG, JPS, BVS, TS and other senior Vaishnavas if they are willing to help.
