Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 Camp: New Mayapur, France Dear Ekatma prabhu, Please accept my greetings and the blessings of Lord Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! > It is understandable that he may not give the ISKCON emphasis on Srila > Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, since having had two ex-ISKCON > ex-gurus, he is now studying under Haridas Sastri Maharaja, a senior and > respected Gaudiya-vaishnava coming down in the disciplic line from > Gadadhara Pandit, outside the line coming down to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta > and his followers. From what I have heard, Haridas Sastri was also the teacher of Nitai dasa, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and sanskrit editor, who went to Srila Prabhupada and asked for his blessings to find a bona fide guru. Haridas Sastri teaches that the only bona fide way of becoming initiated is by siddha pranali initiation. The emphasis on siksa that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Thakura place on our disciplic succession they do not consider bona fide. Hope all is well. Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada, Prahladananda Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
