Sattvic dasa "no reply from Rocana"

Sattvic Das

Rochana Dasa did not answer this letter.

Dear Rochana prabhu. Hare Krishna

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The reason I am not interested in a rebuttal to DOR is that even in the event I can prove you are wrong the GBC will not step out and re-establish the ritvik system. What is the benefit of engaging in something that will have no value for Iskcon? The GBC is perfectly happy to see that you go on and on whacking the ritviks but will never accept, in the event of a defeat,that they have been wrong all along.

Having said this are you prepared to concede that you could be wrong? After all why so much talks about the guru issue? Why it is not settled after 36 years?

It seems to me from your response that you are as much convinced that the ritviks are apasiddhantic as I am convinced that Srila Prabhupada never authorized any of his disciples to act as a Diksha guru. It seems to me that somehow we (the ritviks) need to understand that we are apasiddhantic and submit to whatever the GBC or you think is right and siddhantic. What is that by the way? After all we are still debating the guru issue. What is the siddhanta? By definition Siddhanta need no debate.

I could be wrong and therefore I have asked questions and quoted Srila Prabhupada in regard as to what is the qualification of a Diksha guru. So far I have observed the GBC are not responsible enough to vouch and guarantee that the people they authorize as initiating spiritual masters are indeed meeting the strict criteria demanded by Srila Prabhupada.

With respect and sincere good wishes

Your eternal servant

Muralidhara Del Vecchio Dear Sattvic, Rocana is just another (ACBSP) who is trying to receive a glance from the Leadersh*t in order to mark a way back into Iskcon. I am still looking for a sincere disciple of Srila Prabhupada who is not looking only for fame, carreer, Matajis and Bhaktin, money and leadersh*t post. Do the ACBSPs know there is a God up there? And that He is the controller? I remember a letter of Somaka great Prabhu who said "Why don't we return to sit everyone on the floor all together honouring Prasadam like a family?"

Muralidhara Del Vecchio "So many titles, positions,degrees and facilities were created with the result of a very unpalatable situation of politics, power struggle, diplomacy and concealing inthe form of I support you and you support me.Let us go back to the old system all sitting on the same floor, all taking prasadam together, let us go back to the old family of brotherhood, lets give up the pride of big-brother, let us demostrate to Srila Prabhupada that we can go on serving with great enthusiasm without a need of big titles and positions,let us show to Srila Prabhupada and the whole world that we can love our brothers, let us show that we actually can recognize mistakes and rectify them, not just by making some impersonal resolution but by going to the offended devotees and bowing down to beg forgiveness". (Somaka Swami, 1996)
