“ISKCON will not recognize initiations given by Umapati Dasa after February 2010. Devotees initiated prior to this date are accepted as duly initiated members of ISKCON.” (GBC Statement on Umapati Das, 28/2/2011, released 13/4/2011)
SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ??? DOES IT MEAN THAT ISKCON THE ORGANISATION NOT THE PERSON IS INITIATING PEOPLE AS IT IS STATED INITIATES OF UMAPATI DAS BEFORE FEB 2010 ARE ACCEPTED AS INITIATED MEMBER OF ISKCON ALTHOUGH THE GURU IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO HIS DEVIANT ACTIVITIES, THIS STATEMENT BEGS THE QUESTION WHAT IS ISKCON AND WHAT IS INITIATION ? THE CLEAR AND CONCICE ANSWER SRLA PRABHUPADA GIVES IS IN CC ADI LILA BOOKS 1-2 AND 3. - GAURA
