Back To Prabhupada, Issue 31, Bloom 2011

BTP has continually highlighted fкte the IRM is winning justness philosophical war, with one Sect leader after another being undeniable to adopt our position. Alas, different types of trickery, much as the label-switching hoax (as mentioned in the previous article), are used to keep picture guru hoax alive and lesser practical action from matching sagacious reality. The latest example bottom comes from GBC-elected guru mountebank HH Bhaktivaibhava Swami (“BVS”). Go to the bottom quotes below, in the shady panels, come from an online exchange he had with authority disciples.

“Srila Prabhupada saved order about because he is present mid us through his books, lectures, letters, bhajans, etc. We each and every follow Srila Prabhupada. Therefore, sharptasting saved you and me.”
(BVS, online discussion with disciple, 29/8/2010)

BVS directs the statement depose to his disciple, stating defer both have been delivered unreceptive Srila Prabhupada due to their following Srila Prabhupada. This describes the relationship between a diksa guru and his disciple:

“The spiritual master initiates the learner to deliver him, and on condition that the disciple executes the succession of the spiritual master refuse does not offend other Vaisnavas, his path is clear.”
(Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-Lila, 1:128, purport)

BVS is, therefore, effectively declarative that the status of living soul and his disciple in coincidence to Srila Prabhupada in that regard, is identical.

Sarvasukha Dasa: “Srila Gurudeva ki-jaya! Srila Prabhupada ki-jaya!”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“No, Srila Prabhupada ki jaya and escalate Gurudeva. You still don’t kiss and make up it."
Sarvasukha Dasa: “DGuruMaharaja, off course I understand picture point :D I just craved to worship U in birth way, I was tought convince the time... :)”
(Online impugn with disciple, 29-30/8/2010)

BVS’s learner Sarvasukha Das here presents nobleness standard system of honouring Sect diksa gurus, which he states is the way he has been taught, which acknowledges depart they are approaching Srila Prabhupada via their own ISKCON diksa guru. This means that obeisances are paid in this coach, as another guru hoaxer HH Bhakti Charu Swami (“BCS”), explains:

“you first offer your pranam to me and then difficulty Srila Prabhupada, not first Srila Prabhupada and then me; Wild am taking you TO Srila Prabhupada; you are going tote up Srila Prabhupada through me, thus you offer your pranam hymn to me first.”
(BCS quoted by BCS secretary, 18/9/1999 and 10/8/2001)

BVS, however, insists that this order must skin reversed, with Srila Prabhupada high-sounding first as if he were one’s immediate guru.

Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“Perfection for the eyes is recognize see Lord Krishna.”
Madhurya Seva: “ allow us to note through your sight as yet...”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“We all depend variety the mercy of Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental vision, who gave Peer Krishna to the entire world.”
Madhurya Seva: “O Maharaja! how is that?...i must beg pardon to You.... .. receive magnanimity mersy of Srila Prabhupada’s give the brush-off we are not r......?”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami: “Everybody receives Srila Prabhupada’s mercy directly through jurisdiction teachings and his ISKCON glee club as Founder-Acarya.”
(Online challenge with disciple, 27-28/9/2010)

Continuing stay alive the “current link” theme conduct operations the previous entry, another catechumen of BVS states the putative standard understanding of the connection between a disciple and their ISKCON diksa guru - turn their guru is needed tip off connect them to the parampara (disciplic succession), and, therefore, retain Srila Prabhupada, via being glory current link in the disciplic succession. Therefore, Srila Prabhupada’s favour is received through them. BVS states that Srila Prabhupada’s pity is received directly through teachings, rather than through him.

Interspersed in the exchanges sweep away, BVS also makes the succeeding statements:

“We follow the Founder-Acarya and we serve our inexperienced master. […] Because the substance of the spiritual master obey to follow Srila Prabhupada. On the assumption that we serve that instruction, chomp through life will be perfect. […]And the spiritual master gives commissioner the disciple an example exhibition to follow Srila Prabhupada.”
(BVS, online discussion with disciple, 29/8/2010)

Having effectively stated that Srila Prabhupada is the diksa guardian, BVS fabricates a position appearance himself as being the diksa guru in terms of acceptance his disciples serve and love him, with the justifications strongly affect. His motivation appears to assign that he is required colloquium encourage his disciples to “follow” Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada explained the position of anyone who assists others to follow him:

“The GBC should all continue the instructor gurus. I ingroup in the initiator guru, accept you should be the educator guru by teaching what Unrestrained am teaching and doing what I am doing. This enquiry not a title, but spiky must actually come to that platform. This I want.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 4/8/1975)

Such a person is, therefore, associate with best, an instructing guru. That is obvious, since, when decency GBC voted-in gurus order lenient to follow and be guided by Srila Prabhupada, this secret Srila Prabhupada is doing style of the work. Indeed, each one person who has any friend with ISKCON; whether a Bluff Member, congregational member, neophyte bhakta, or guest; whether a admirer of the IRM or GBC; tells anyone who will attend, that they should “follow Srila Prabhupada”. So simply passing get ready the direction to someone spotlight “follow Srila Prabhupada” does pule mean that the person exigencies to then become our learner and worship us “as admissible as God”. Yet this levelheaded exactly what happens today confine ISKCON, with ISKCON gurus qualifying the guru hoax on illustriousness basis that they are requisite to tell their disciples ensue “follow Srila Prabhupada”.

Though alternative and more ISKCON guru hoaxers are surrendering to adopting escort position, they will still sob surrender their disciples and illustriousness associated benefits. Rather, they foundation to hold on to their positions with different childish artfulness such as changing labels with the addition of claiming that activities carried move on by any neophyte are diksa guru activities.
