******** Dasi: I might get pelted for this. Srila Narayana Maharaj is my Guru who gave me Harinam initiation, about 3 years after I wandered about in Iskcon. But in my heart and soul, where great intense devotion and love exists, which is inexplicably far deeper than for my own Guru, lives Srila Prabhupad. And I never met him, nor heard him. But I do know through experience he is alive. Very much alive.
(this must be a new dilemma?)
PADA: This is a very nice realization: She is formally initiated by Narayana Maharaja, just like many people are fomally initiated by the GBC’s so-called gurus, but her — “heart and soul,” her real bhakti, is with Srila Prabhupada. Excellent. We have even sometimes told a few people to go ahead and get initiated by these bogus gurus so they can stay at some temple or ashram and avoid getting kicked out, but to worship Srila Prabhupada internally in their “heart and soul.” Just like when King Kansa was in charge, even very nice people had to worship him externally, but in their heart, they worshipped Krishna. Very nice. Good on ya ***** dasi! You are a de facto Prabhupadanuga. Yay! ys pd
Stick with Srila Prabhupada!
“Paul Howard” : Since my “initiation” by a certified ISKCON guru in 2004, my predominant feeling has been regret. I should’ve just stuck with Prabhupada.
