Posted by Kurma Prabhu, Australia: We distribute and read Srila Prabhupada’s books. We chant the number of rounds that He ordered us to do, and every spiritual thing that we do has it’s life force within Srila Prabhupada. Do devotees not think it is odd that each and every aspect of our spiritual lives involves Srila Prabhupada, but that somehow these Bogus Gurus should… suck up all the glory?
Srila Prabhupada’s Vani is our teacher each and everyday, we do not need anything else. The Bogus Voted-in Gurus have a real cheek, when you think about it. What they have done and do today, is to take appreciation and worship that belongs to Srila Prabhupada and steal it for themselves.
There is an aspect to the Ritvik debate that is very intriguing. It is clearly stated that the disciples of the first eleven ritvik representatives are Srila Prabhupada’s disciples. Nowhere does it state that they were to be the disciples of the eleven representatives. And it also does not indicate that they were to convert from this arrangement. If at all, when were these eleven representatives to convert from the instruction? Considering that they have all fallen down or away from the Society, then shouldn’t the GBC apologize to all of the devotees who were initiated by the eleven, and accept it as Gospel that these devotees are disciples of Srila Prabhupada?
The local Temple President here was originally initiated by Bhavananda. After Bhavananda was caught out, this local Temple President then took initiation from Bhurijana. Many devotees believe such re-initiations should never have occurred.
If our so-called spiritual experts could not, and refuse not to get this original element right, then how could we ever expect them to correct the grubby invented system that says a bona fide acarya can be voted in!
New members should simply be encouraged to follow Srila Prabhupada. The fanatical and fundamentalist emphasis upon initiation and Bogus Gurus should be stopped.
Another great article by Kurma Prabhu.
We now have small group of Prabhupadanugas here in New Zealand. You can see our center on Facebook under Hanuman dasa or Prabhupadanugas (Australasia).
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Your servant, Hanuman dasa.
Hare Krishna, Hanuman Prabhu!
All Glories to Shrila Prabhupada!
I am very glad to hear that there are Prabhupadanugas in New Zealand. This makes us confident in our prasadam business which we want to start in our country first, then expand to New Zealand and other countries. It is a will of Prabhupada that prasadam should be distributed in a larger extend. So, we decided to engage ourselves in this service and mission of Prabhupada. Can we count on your help when we start in your country? Please, let us contact by e-mail for further details.
Sincerely,
Arjuna das
Thanks for these words of encouragement, nice to see that Prabhupadanugas in New Zealand are getting stronger. This is the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, he’s fully present whenever we become sincere about genuine Krishna consciousness.
