Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

You write:

> guru for ISKCON"

 

Yes, this is our stated position.

 

Since you cannot provide an order from Srila Prabhupada to his managing

authority (the GBC) to the effect that he ‘should ever stop being the diksa

guru for ISKCON’ I shall assume our position is correct and that the status

quo which you agree he established in 1966, and merely perpetuated in July

1977, simply continues.

 

To justify removing Srila Prabhupada from his position as the sole diksa

guru for ISKCON on the strength of a hypothetical order that :

 

You cannot produce,

The GBC have never mentioned,

You do not know even exists,

You do not know even how its existence could ever be ascertained,

Is not on folio,

Does not appear in any GBC minutes in any year since its formation,

we also do not claim exists,

 

Etc etc would be akin to not knowing something but still talking about it.

If you were to do that then you would be a rascal:

 

"Just see how rascaldom. You do not know something perfectly, and still, you

are talking about it." (Lecture, Bg 1.45-46, August 1, 1973)

 

So I promise never to discus this non-existent evidence again if you do. But

then without this non-existent evidence what else have you got to discuss?

 

best wishes
