This is axiomatic, both to how ISKCON must be run, and how this debate must be framed. If you disagree with this then you have left the debate. The GBC were ordered to manage ISKCON and ordered how to do it. Without an order authorising them to remove Srila Prabhupada as the sole diksa guru for ISKCON, the GBC must simply manage the systems they were given in the way they were told to manage them. I have proven all this already, do I need to repost all that evidence yet again? If this were not the case then any lunatic could propose any damn thing he wanted and say it is a secret or hidden order. If you are conceding you have no visible evidence allowing the GBC to completely change the management system in ISKCON regarding initiation then you are defeated. Your other challenges are irrelevant if you concede you have no evidence to change the status quo which you agree was set in place in 1966. How many times must I explain this? Your challenge to point c) is based on an injunction you cannot prove and an order you cannot identify (and indeed which you now imply I am unqualified to see). Absolutely pathetic. And you say you are not defeated! Ha! Once you concede defeat on the main debate (points a,b and c) I shall happily smash your irrelevant challenges too, one by one. That’s a promise.

You still have not proven that the only way to authorize a devotee to be a diksa guru in ISKCON is an order to the GBC which must be visible to you.> But the GBC have said they were authorised to replace Srila Prabhupada prior to November 14th 1977 and that they have presented the VISIBLE quotes where this authorisation took place in papers such as ‘Disciple of My Disciple’ etc. The only person in the world challenging these points (that they must be authorised to replace Srila Prabhupada with visibe evidence) is you. That’s why I say you are living in your own fantasy dreamland. But even you admit they were meant to manage initiation. They can only manage it in accordance with the orders they received. Do you want me to prove that again. Is there something wrong with your memory. Why not see the doctor? You cannot challenge the status quo on the basis of invisible evidence. That breaks the rules of this debate. That’s why you are once again defeated. Remember: “Evidence that doesn’t exist is no evidence at all”. What you have is absolutely no evidence. Just the speculation that such evidence may exist; and that I am not worthy to see it. Only a person desperate to be cheated would accept such a proposition. The only authorised way to do ANYTHING in ISKCON is in accordance with > Srila Prabhupada’s orders. <But you are not following this rule. You are supervising and judging the GBC without being ordered and authorized by Srila Prabhupada to do that.> Once the GBC stopped following Srila Prabhupada’s orders they ceased to be the GBC as defined by Srila Prabhupada. Even they admit they were in maya for nearly an entire decade when they ran their ‘zonal acarya system’, or what we call the Great Guru Hoax part 1: “By the influence of Maya, illusion, a different idea soon evolved that Srila Prabhupada had appointed eleven “pure devotees” to serve as the only gurus after him…” (BTG # 25-01, 1991) In the mid eightees we had the Great Guru Hoax part 2 which was authorised by the very same people who had been in maya for the previous ten years. We are certainly authorised to challenge maya wherever she appears. Your position now, in effect, states: "the GBC cannot be challenged and do not have to justify their actions on the basis of Srila Prabhupada's explicit, visible orders, but can claim they had invisible orders allowing them to do whatever they have done'. This is sheer lunacy. Only a moron would accept this. Even the bogus GBC do not state this. You position is crazier than people who have been in deep maya for many years by their own admission. You are finished. Please concede defeat so I can mutilate your remaining irrelevant and inanely foolish challenges (once you leave the neutral zone).

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Dear Ramakanta Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! <Your argument is still incomplete. You have not proven that the only way to authorize a devotee to be a diksa guru in ISKCON is an order to the GBC which must be visible to you.> So it looks like you have indeed completely forgotten the following: This is the way the GBC is defined in resolutions approved by Srila Prabhupada: "The GBC has been established by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to represent Him in carrying out the responsibility of managing the International Society for Krsna Consciousness of which He is the Founder-Acarya and supreme authority. The GBC accepts as its life & soul His divine instructions and recognises that it is completely dependent on His mercy in all respects. The GBC has no other function or purpose other than to execute the instructions so kindly given by His Divine Grace and preserve and spread His Teachings to the world in their pure form." (Definition of GBC, Resolution 1, GBC minutes 1975, emphasis added) They were thus set up SOLELY to manage the movement in accordance with GIVEN, instructions which set out the systems of management to be followed: “1. The Governing Body Commission (GBC) will be the ultimate managing authority of the entire International Society for Krishna Consciousness.” (Opening Statement, Srila Prabhupada's Last Will and Testament) And they could not change those systems: 'The system of management will continue as it is now and there is no need of any change.' Srila Prabhupada's Last Will and Testament) Thus the GBC: A) Cannot change any system of management given by Srila Prabhupada; B) Or introduce any new system of management not already given by Srila Prabhupada. And the following is the system for managing initiation in ISKCON which the GBC were ordered to follow: “Now that Srila Prabhupada has named these representatives, Temple Presidents may henceforward send recommendation for first and second initiation to whichever of these eleven representatives are nearest their temple. After considering the recommendation, these representatives may accept the devotee as an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada by giving a spiritual name, or in the case of second initiation, by chanting on the Gayatri thread, just as Srila Prabhupada has done. The newly initiated devotees are disciples of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, the above eleven senior devotees acting as His representative.” (July 9th directive to all Temple Presidents and GBCs) In the above system there is no authorisation for anyone other than Srila Prabhupada to initiate disciples in ISKCON. Since this debate is based on visible evidence, and since you concede you have no order authorising the GBC to change the above status quo, you are defeated. The fact that the GBC also cannot provide such evidence, even though they accept the need to present visible evidence justifying their actions (see Disciple of My disciples), proves they are not the GBC but illegal hijackers. <And please quote Srila Prabhupada's statement that you are ordered and authorized to supervise and judge the GBC (e.g. to judge whether or not the GBC stopped following Srila Prabhupada’s orders).> Please read what the GBC have admitted: “By the influence of Maya, illusion, a different idea soon evolved that Srila Prabhupada had appointed eleven “pure devotees” to serve as the only gurus after him…” (BTG # 25-01, 1991) The current gurus were authorised by people who admit they completely misunderstood Srila Prabhupada’s orders on initiation and were thus in maya for nearly a decade. Some gurus admit that even today the guru system is wrong. Do you now challenge the fact we are authorised to go to war with Maya? I think its time for you to wake up to the fact that you have been cheated. Please stop trying to defend cheaters.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Dear Yaduraja Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! The quotes that you just repeated do not prove that the only way to authorize a devotee to be a diksa guru in ISKCON is an order to the GBC which must be visible to you. Therefore your argument is still incomplete. You can quote the GBC judging themselves. But you must not judge the GBC yourself and say "bogus GBC" etc. If you do that, then you are violating following rule: "The only authorised way to do ANYTHING in ISKCON is in accordance with Srila Prabhupada’s orders."

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Dear Ramakanta Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! You claim: <The quotes that you just repeated do not prove that the only way to authorize a devotee to be a diksa guru in ISKCON is an order to the GBC which must be visible to you. Therefore your argument is still incomplete.> Yes they do. Maybe you are just not qualified to understand. The quotes prove: 1) The GBC were set up as the ‘ultimate managing authority’ for ISKCON. Please look up the word ‘ultimate’. 2) They were told exactly how to manage initiation. 3) They were told not to change the system of management. Therefore if you want to challenge the system Srila Prabhupada put in place for conducting initiation you must prove he authorised the GBC to change it. There is no higher managing authority within ISKCON than the GBC (as defined by Srila Prabhupada). No-one can initiate anyone without the GBC allowing this to occur since it is their job to oversee the Movement. And, on the basis of visible evidence (which is all this debate allows), they were ONLY authorised to allow Srila Prabhupada to initiate disciples as I have proven. Thus the burden of proof is on you if you want to change or challenge the ONLY system of initiation the GBC were told to manage, and which merely continues the status quo you accept existed since 1966. Since you have already said you are not claiming you can produce such an order to the GBC, you are defeated. If it is your position that no-one can challenge the current bogus GBC then we can stop now if you like. God help you.

But the inference "if a and b, then c" confirmed by Srila Prabhupada is missing.> Srila Prabhupada states that the disciple must follow the orders of the spiritual master. He states this over and over again: “Following the order of the bona fide spiritual master is the ONLY duty of the disciple, and this completely faithful execution of the order of the bona fide spiritual master is the secret of success.” (SB 2.9.8, puport) I have presented the orders (definition of the GBC, July 9th directive, Final Will etc). If you want to challenge the status quo these orders locked in place (point a) then the burden of proof is on you. This debate is based on visible evidence, not invisible, phantom, non-existent, speculation. If it was based on the latter then you would indeed be the winner since this is indeed your forte.But it is not, so you are defeated. If you want to start a new debate with new rules where any lunatic assertion can be made without the need for a shred of evidence then maybe you can find someone willing to debate you, but it will not be me.

AGTSP! <The quote from Srila Prabhupada that you just presented does not prove that you (IRM) must have seen the order.> They prove we must follow the orders that are given. I have shown what those orders were. Those are the orders the GBC must follow. If you now wish to change the rules of this debate whereby you can allude to some hypothetical orders that you do not have to produce on the basis of some pathetic excuse, then you will need to find someone else to argue with. Where does the GBC ever mention orders from Srila Prabhupada on how they are authorised to completely change the system of initiation that they have not published? Have you ever read 'Disciple of My disciple'? The whole paper seeks to show exactly where, in visible evidence, they were authorised to replace Srila Prabhupada as the diksa guru. This paper was freely distributed throughout ISKCON with no restriction on the basis of 'qualification'. In any case anyone capable of discerning the difference between the word 'yes' and 'no' would be at least as qualified as the authors of the paper, if not more so. why do I have to explain this over and over and over again. Is there something wrong with you? I thought you wanted to disprove point C); but obviously you cannot do that if you will not or cannot produce the evidence that authorises the GBC to change the status quo you agree existed since 1966 (point a). This debate is based on visible evidence, not invisible, phantom, non-existent, unknown orders. If it was based on the latter then you would indeed be the winner since this is your forte.
