Dear Ramakanta prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

You remained silent over my responses so you accept them:

 

1)Srila Prabhupada left the GBC to manage ISKCON strictly in accordance with

a pre-ordained system of management that they were not authorised to change.

 

2)Srila Prabhupada left in place a system of initiation whereby he was the

sole diksa guru for the institution.

 

Since the GBC can only do what Srila Prabhupada authorised them to do, and

since he ONLY authorised an initiation system in which he remained in place

as the sole diksa guru, then it follows he did not authorise the GBC to

replace him as the sole diksa guru for ISKCON. And we can all see you have

no order to the GBC authorising them to:

 

a) remove Srila Prabhupada as the sole diksa guru.

And

b) identify and install a successor.

 

Therefore you must be proposing that Srila Prabhupada would authorise an

individual or individuals to go to war with the very management system he

installed?

 

If this is your proposal then please make that clear.

 

If it is not then the status quo you agree he established way back in 1966

prevails.

 

Logically we do not have to prove the status quo continues since within the

world of logical argument that is axiomatic.

 

If you want to challenge the status quo, a status quo you have already been

forced to concede existed since 1966, then the burden of proof falls on you

not us.

 

Srila Prabhupada left clear orders, typed and signed, on how things were to

run within ISKCON. Clearly we don’t have to prove anything other than the

historically verifiable fact that he left the status quo you agree he

established in 1966, intact (see NCIP, TFO etc).

 

The fact that you are now asking me, you opponent, what sort of evidence

would stop the status quo proves how lost you are.

Best wishes
