Srila Prabhupadas on going Rtvik process for accepting disciples
To the assembled Vaishnava's. Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to the most merciful and compassionate, Savior of the 3 World,
Jagat Guru HDG ACBS Srila Prabhupad.
I want to express something that has been on my mind for some time.
The following is how I see Srila Prabhupad in light of his authorizing an
on going Rtvik process for accepting disciples for as long as he has followers
who want to accept him as their guru.
While the current GBC see this as a bogus concept...
I see this as the greatest example of Srila Prabhupad's mercy and compassion
on the fallen souls.
I see this as his greatness of humility and his willingness to make a sacrifice
of himself for the benefit of so many.
Yes, that may be how the Christians view Ieosus Kristos, for them it was Ieosus
suffering on the stake, that he (so-called) died for their sins (yet SP said
he did not die on the stake because when he was brought down and the Roman
soldiers rammed his body with their spear, blood gushed forth. Prabhupad
said blood does not gush unless the heart is beating and the person is alive).
Rather then Prabhupad having died for the sins of future generations, he is
still living in sound, ETERNALLY.
He set up a system by which his direct shelter is still made available for
those who desire to take it. He will still accept and will offer
his direct shelter to anyone who wants it, who qualifies themselves according
to his instructions and avail themselves of the system he authorized.
I see this as his unique greatness, for which Srila Prabhupad's glories are
to be sung and praised to the ends of the earth and far beyond.
Yet, this current GBC and so many others, rather then recognizing these great
aspects of Srila Prabhupad's limitless compassion and mercy on the conditioned
souls, rather then glorifying him and praising him for this greatness,
rather then broadcasting to the whole world that Srila Prabhupad has set up
such a system to make himself, his shelter, available to all, for as long
as anyone desires to take his shelter, instead, the GBC and their supporters
don't recognize Srila Prabhupad's true greatness at all.
They don't recognize the greatness of his compassion, the greatness of his
mercy and humility. Rather, they DENY that Srila Prabhupad could have
ever been so compassionate. They DENY that Srila Prabhupad is such a
unique and great soul, who deserves the praises of the whole world.
And, worse, they Deny to the world his compassion and mercy.
They vilify those of us who do recognize his glory and who do try to make
his mercy available. They ban us, ridicule us, persecute us.
We are the outsiders, the deviants, we whose great sin is that we recognize
Srila Prabhupad's greatness, his glory.
This is the special feature of this current gbc and their followers and supporters.
What blindness has befallen them.
Aspiring to become your worthy and humble servant,

Dear Ameyatma Prabhu,
Please accept my most humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank you for calling upon the highest degree of Vaishnava goodness in every
person who read and will read this article. There are eternally only
two options, ever - Maya, and Krishna.
Maya for those who choose money, power, greed, profit, adoration, distinction,
delusion of grandeur, lies, rape, murder, and self-worship in all its hideous
forms, over surrender. Maya for those who prefer to let "sleeping dogs
lie", to slash the ropes of the bridge to Vaikuntha, to throw sand into the
eyes of those trying to see the Supreme Absolute Truth, to betray and deceive
and steal from the innocent, to take what has been causelessly delivered by
Srila Prabhupada and to attempt to distort, change, conceal, and deny it.
Maya for those who feel "justified". Maya for those who "have it all
figured out".
In a nutshell? Maya for those who are dead inside.
Krishna for those who wish to truly serve, understanding their actual constitutional
position, who are honest in the face of their own weaknesses and tendency
to commit mistake, who have accepted the words of Srila Prabhupada as Supreme,
Sublime, Faultless and Eternal, who are not afraid to speak the truth, who
are willing to lay down their very lives to see this divine movement, the
International Society for Krishna Consciousness, as descended from
the Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya, propogated around the globe,
to 7,000,000,000 human beings (and counting), all mothers, fathers,
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, grandmothers,
grandfathers, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, strangers, colleagues, employers
and employees, not to mention plants, animals, fungi and protazoa.
In a nutshell? KRISHNA FOR
THOSE WHO RECOGNIZE KRISHNA AS
THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD AND THE SOURCE OF ALL HAPPINESS, WHO
ARE FULL OF WONDER AT THE SHEER BEAUTY, POWER, AND MERCY OF HIS PURE DEVOTEE
SRILA PRABHUPADA, AND WHO ONLY WISH TO SHARE THIS WONDER AND ECSTASY WITH
ALL OTHER LIVING BEINGS, THEIR DEARLY BELOVED FAMILY, SO THAT THERE WILL BE
NO MORE LANGUISHING IN DARKNESS, EVER.
It is never to late to have a change of heart!
Ameyatma Prabhu, please do not despair! This is
a Movement for the next 10,000 years, and long after the current wave of criminals,
imitators, fools, rascals, demons, and murderers in the guise of devotees
are dead and long gone off to the Hellish planets to be tortured indefinitely
(namely Tāmisra,
Andhatāmisra, Raurava,
Mahāraurava, Kumbhīpāka, Kālasūtra,
Asi-patravana,
Sūkaramukha, Andhakūpa, Kṛmibhojana, Sandaḿśa,

Narayan Prabhu, Yasodanandan Prabhu, Pragosh Prabhu, Puranjana Prabhu, Damaghosh
Prabhu, Naveen Krishna Prabhu, Nimai Pandit Prabhu, Mahesh Raja Prabhu, all
of their descendents, and countless other true and dedicated disciples
of Srila Prabhupada who will be taking birth again and again and again
until EACH AND EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET is FULLY KRISHNA-CONSCIOUS and
is liberated back Home, back to Godhead.
This is Srila Prabhupada's Victory,
and we are bearing His Banner from lifetime to lifetime, eternally..
This is what it means to surrender one's self to the Lotus Feet of the Pure
Devotee. We are in it for the next 10,000 years and no less.
So cheer up! We have plenty of time to get it right.
Your eternal servant,
