Thanks prabhu. What is shastra? It is a record of Krishna His pure devotee's words. So when a pure devotee says: "Back to Godhead" -- that is shastra. When a pure devotee says: "we all originated in Krishna's leela or sport"; "we have to revive out dormant (previous) Krishna consciousness"; "we are all originally Krishna conscious entities" (i.e. with Krishna); "all souls fall from Vaikuntha"; "we have forgotten our previous relationship Krishna (because we knew Him previously"; "we have to reestablish our original Krishna consciousness" "we must revive our original spiritual svarupa" (our original spiritual body) "we have turned our face away from Krishna (bahir mukha); "we have become envious of Krishna" (which means we dropped the connection) -- and so on and so on and so on, that is shastra. The idea that we do not start with Krishna, we start here, is the Judeo Christian idea? They think some souls start with God, some do not, because God is biased with His children. That makes God a mundane entity.
The guru voting idea is ALSO coming from the same people who said we were never with Krishna, like BR Sridhara Maharaja, BV Narayan Maharaja, Gaura govinda Maharaja, Jagat Guru swami (BG Narasimgha), et al. They all endorsed the idea we were never with Krishna, then they helped the GBC with their Vatican style guru voting idea. That is why this is all connected, they borrowed from the Judeo Christians and the Vatican, at least that is what seems like happened? I do not see any contradiction at all. God is equal to all of His children, He starts all of them equally, and even a mundane father starts all of his children equally because he loves them all equally. Krishna is the same, He loves them all equally, He is not making some of His children blessed and some cursed, that is not His nature. He is pure. ys pd
