How to know when it’s over?
Submitted to Chakra, Dandavats and Sampradaya Sun on 6 Feb, 2009, in response to their publication of Bhakta das’s email giving Gurukrpa’s account of things, published by the Sun on Feb 4, 2009, and posted here at The Bhaktivedantas on 8 Feb
[In response to Gurukrpa: What Really Happened in 1977-78 :] According to http://harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/02-09/editorials3953.htm , “Silence means you agree,” but I don’t agree, and I expressed my disagreement in the following open letter to Bhakta Dasa Prabhu. I sent it 3 days ago to Chakra, Dandavats, and the Sampradaya Sun, but so far none of them have published it. Is this because all 3 of them have something to hide and/or all 3 of them are afraid of the truth?
Dear Bhakta Dasa Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP!
In reference to your article, “Gurukrpa: What Really Happened in 1977-
78″ (http://harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/02-09/editorials3931.htm ), what was supposed to happen, as far as initiations go, after the departure of Srila Prabhupada? All the new bhaktas were supposed to just wait around for the appearance of the next link in the disciplic succession? This makes no sense.
IMHO, these devotees who think that the new bhaktas were supposed to just wait around for the coming of the next acharya are either simply not very intelligent or they are self motivated in the sense that they themselves want to be that link. “The ISKCON leaders are in maya and the ritviks are in maya . Therefore, I’m #1.” Therefore, they are making Srila Prabhupada look irresponsible by saying that he left the system for future initiations “up in the air.”
Srila Prabhupada operated ISKCON like a well oiled machine. Nothing was left to chance. Everything was always perfectly clear. He made everything perfectly clear in the July 9th letter and in the followup letters (Ritvik initiations henceforward).
Do you think that Hansadutta Prabhu doesn’t know what he’s talking about (http://pratyatosa.com/HansaduttaConfesses.htm )? Fat chance!!! Hansadutta is very intelligent, and he was made GBC AND one of only two BBT trustees by Srila Prabhupada! Obviously, Srila Prabhupada had a lot of faith and trust in him.
