These unelected butchers “GBC’s” as per
Srila Prabhupada’s unrevoked “Direction of Management” (1970) have
chosen to mislead the devotees - yet again by imposing an invention of
“Diksha” guru that is NOT in the shastra. Their DEVIOUS ploy HAS ALWAYS
BEEN how to GET RID OF SRILA PRABHUPADA THE BONAFIDE DIKSHA GURU AND
REPLACE THEMSELVES AS DIKSHA GURU. Herein, we will examine in detail
what the shastra says and compare the BOGUS reasonings of the fake GBC.
So here is what they give as evidence to somehow or other try to justify their claim to be Diksha Guru:
"This Krishna consciousness movement
directly receives instructions from the Supreme Personality of Godhead
via persons who are strictly following His instructions. Although a
follower may not be a liberated person, if he follows the supreme,
liberated Personality of Godhead, his actions are naturally liberated
from the contamination of the material nature. Lord Chaitanya therefore
says: 'By My order you may become a spiritual master.' One can
immediately become a spiritual master by having full faith in the
transcendental words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and by
following His instructions." Purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 4.18.5
And…
"A
person who is liberated acharya and guru cannot commit any mistake, but
there are persons who are less qualified or not liberated, but still
can act as guru and acharya by strictly following the disciplic
succession." Letter to Janardana, 26 April, 1968
And…
And…
"We may not be cent percent perfect, but
as far as possible, if we follow the instruction as it is, that much
perfect. In this way one will get perfection. So one has to follow. The
same example, try to understand, that a perfect, expert technologist or
technician or mechanic is working, and somebody is working under his
instruction. So this somebody, because he is strictly working under the
instruction of the expert, he's also expert. He may not be cent percent
expert, but his work is expert. Is that clear? Because he is working
under the expert. Do you follow? So if you follow pure devotee, then you
are also pure devotee. It may not be one is cent per cent pure. Because
we are trying to raise our self from the conditional life. But if we
strictly follow the pure devotee, then we are also pure devotee. So far
we do, that is pure. So pure devotee does not mean one has to become
immediately cent percent pure. But if he sticks to the principle that
"We'll follow a pure devotee," then his actions are... He is as good as a
pure devotee. It is not I am explaining in my own way. It is the
explanation of Bhagavata. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah [Cc. Madhya 17.186]."
Lecture, Los Angeles, November 25, 1968
Note: Now, the way they
BLUFF others is they take them as IGNORANT FOOLS about WHAT DIKSHA
ACTUALLY IS. We want the readers to SHOW what Diksha is THIS way they
will be able to see CLEARLY that CONDITIONED SOULS can NOT give Diksha.
The conditioned souls can “ACT AS
ACHARYA” which is: OFFICIATING ACHARYA (Ritvik Representative of the
Acharya Srila Prabhupada by giving 1st and 2nd Initiations ON BEHALF of Srila Prabhupada THE Diksha guru – other than that the CONDITIONED SOULS can NOT be Diksha guru. Their
OWN statement indicates that their “Diksha” gurus are CONDITIONED SOULS
who can deviate. And they are to be under GBC which means they are just
PRIESTS. They are NOT Diksha Guru as per definition.
GBC STATEMENT MARCH 9, 2013
“Those who accept the service of diksha
or shiksha guru within ISKCON are mandated to be strict followers of the
instructions of Srila Prabhupada, and, as long as they follow, they are
acting on the liberated platform. Thus they may serve, as Srila
Prabhupada ordered, as bonafide representatives of the Lord and the Guru
Parampara and be a via medium of Their mercy. YET IT SHOULD BE
CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT IF SUCH DIKSHA OR SIKSHA GURUS DEVIATE FROM
STRICTLY FOLLOWING, THEY MAY FALL DOWN FROM THEIR POSITION.
THUS, TO ACT AS A DIKSHA GURU IN ISKCON
MEANS TO SERVE UNDER THE GBC and in cooperation with other ISKCON
authorities by functioning as a “regular guru” as Srila Prabhupada has
directed.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: The issue is Srila
Prabhupada wanted OFFICIATING ACHARYAS and THIS is what a Ritvik
REPRESETATIVE OF THE ACHARYA FACTUALLY IS. So ACTING AS ACHARYA on a
non-liberated platform is SIMPLY TO PERFORM 1ST AND 2ND Initiations ON BEHALF of Srila Prabhupada.
They want to somehow justify: - “but
there are persons who are less qualified or not liberated, but still can
act as guru and acharya by strictly following the disciplic succession”
- this as Diksha guru. This “act as guru and acharya” is NOT the same
as being ACHARYA who GIVES DIKSHA.
But what THEY want is to PRETEND TO GIVE
DIKSHA. This way they EXPLOIT others by taking the money and make them
THEIR OWN FREE SLAVES (“disciples”).
Now - we will address the QUALIFICATION
of the Diksha guru and what EXACTLY takes place when DIKSHA is given by
the Maha Bhagavata thus BY KNOWING WHAT DIKSHA FACTUALLY IS - THIS -
WILL EXPOSE THE FAKE GBC’s game.
Madhya 24.330 - The Sixty-One Explanations of the Atmarama Verse
MAHA-BHAGAVATA-srestho
brahmano vai gurur nrnam
sarvesam eva lokanam
asau pujyo yatha harih
brahmano vai gurur nrnam
sarvesam eva lokanam
asau pujyo yatha harih
maha-kula-prasuto ‘pi
sarva-yajnesu DIKSITAH
sahasra-sakhadhyayi ca
na guruh syad avaisnavah
sarva-yajnesu DIKSITAH
sahasra-sakhadhyayi ca
na guruh syad avaisnavah
((The guru MUST be situated on the
topmost platform of devotional service. There are three classes of
devotees, and the guru MUST be accepted from the topmost class. The
first-class devotee is the spiritual master for all kinds of people.
….When one has attained the topmost position of MAHA-BHAGAVATA;
he is to be accepted as a guru and worshiped exactly like Hari, the
Personality of Godhead. Only such a person is eligible to occupy the
post of a guru.))
Note: the word DIKSITAH refers to DIKSHA. This means ONLY Mahabhagavata is
capable to GIVE DIKSHA. FORMALITY is of giving the holy name 1st and
2nd initiation is conducted by RITVIK (OFFICIATING ACHARYA) on BEHALF of
Srila Prabhupada THE DIKSHA GURU.
Conversations, October 16, 1976, Chandigarh
Interviewer: What is the procedure of the movement? Do you initiate yourself all the disciples or do your other disciples also do that?
Prabhupada: Well,
initiation or no initiation, first thing is knowledge. INITIATION IS
FORMALITY. JUST LIKE YOU GO TO A SCHOOL FOR KNOWLEDGE AND ADMISSION IS
FORMALITY. THAT IS NOT VERY IMPORTANT THING.
Question: Why is DIKSHA so important?
Answer: Diksha PROCESS entails the factor of REVELATION of your RELATIONSHIP (SVARUP
also called Constitutional position) with Krishna. Once you have your
relationship you have the freedom of IMMORTALITY. This means you do NOT
transmigrate to other bodies. OTHERWISE by force of Karma you MUST
accept another body. In simple terms – if you KNOW your SVARUPA your Karma is burned-off.
This is NOT easy – it can take MANY births.
Note: it is to be understood that he has
BURNED UP THE REACTIONS of his work by perfect knowledge of his
CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION AS THE ETERNAL SERVITOR of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.
