Krishna says, evam parampara praptam.... and later goes on to say, upa*deksya*nti te *jnanam*. He could have said upa*siksyanti*... We do not want to use term "siksa parampara" or "diksa parampara". Simply call it parampara, and that includes both diksa and siksa." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
