The following are pictures of an
initiation ceremony held recently (Narasimhadeva appearance day) in New
Zealand. And below that, is a letter sent to us from another group of
newly initiated Prabhupadanugas in Malaysia (also on Lord Narasimhadeva
appearance day).
In Jaipur India, there is a Prabhupadanuga center where five new
devotees this past week, got formal shelter under Srila Prabhupada’s
lotus feet through yet another ritvik ceremony.
And very soon in Canada another initiation ceremony will be held for
many more devotees who will be formally taking shelter under Srila
Prabhupada’s lotus feet via the ritvik system he ordered, but which has
never been followed by ISKCON.
And these are just the ones I am aware of, as there could be more
elsewhere. Gradually as devotees catch on to what Srila Prabhupada
ordered, they reject the "living guru" fallacy propagated by ISKCON and
accept the actual order given by Srila Prabhupada formally given in the
famous July 9th 1977 letter.
As he used to say - "these things are going on....”
Dear Devotees,
By the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and all the
Vaishnavas, we have formally connected ourselves to Srila Prabhupada and
through His Divine Grace, to the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya.
In the presence of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, Sri Sri Prahlada
Narasimha, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Srila Prabhupada, His Grace Stoka
Krishna Prabhu from ISKCON Bangalore officiated at the initiation
ceremony held in Masai, Johor, Malaysia on the auspicious day of Sri
Narasimha Chaturdashi on 24th May 2013 (Fri). A Vaishnava homa was
performed thereafter.
Our initiated names are:
Mine - Jagannivasa das
My wife's - Radhika devi dasi
We thank all of you for your association and guidance and beg to have more of the same in the future.
Your servants,
Jagannivasa das (Jai Simman)
Radhika devi dasi (Rekha)
