Sri Guru Tattva and the Secret of Diksa
by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Rajen Babu: Isn't the kanistha-adhikari qualified to give initiation into the
mantra?
Srila Sarasvati Prabhupada: Where is the kanishtha-adhikari coming from?
Who gave him the adhikara? A kanishtha-adhikari can never become a guru.
Rajen Babu: Can a madhyama-adhikari give diksa?
Prabhupada: He can only perform the initial duties of diksa. It is the
uttama-adhikari maha-bhagavata Vaisnava who is actually the diksa-guru.
