A good point, but I don't necessarily think it's our goal to 'block' the members of this forum from a discussion that points out the discrepancy of that viewpoint in the context of this forum. In the interests of the conversation crossing over into Granddisciples, we've seen a couple of texts that wouldn't normally fit into the conforms of GD, but I think we are seeing some balance from GD members, so there is no harm done. > ISKCON is the very example of siksa taking the precedence over > diksa in the crtical situations.

But they've already been initiated. I don't believe that a guru leaving negates one's initiation into the sampradaya, and their acceptance by the disciplic succession. Reinitiation is a personal choice, not a necessity. Ys, Braja Sevaki dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
