Hare Krsna
Some “ritvik” common sense-
The people in iskcon say Prabhupada is not physically present therefore he cannot initiate anybody today. They say you need a physically present person to connect one to the param para.
The followers of the”ritvik order” say no, Srila Prabhupada can and does initiate anybody today who will follow his rules and regulations.
Consider this common sense–
Ask them (these blind followers) if they realiize that Krsna is “physically” present in the name they daily chant ?
Everybody who reads Prabhupadas books has read over a thousand times that Krsna IS
present in His Holy Names. Now ask these people if they have realized this yet?
If they say No, then ask them how is it, if you cannot understand the spiritual aspect of these Holy Names, but that you can conclude that Srila Prabhupada cannot accept karma and disciples ? Both are spiritual things, if you cannot understand Krsna is present in His holy names, then how can you say such nonsense about what Prabhupada, as a spiritual master can or cannot do?
If they say yes, then we should see them constantly chanting these Holy Names due to extreme attraction for them, since They are Krsna Himself. If they have a hard time, as do most, even finishing 16 rounds a day, that means they have not yet realized Krsna is present in those names.
But if they say they have realized that Krsna is present in His Holy Names, then do a simple test.
Put in front of them two similiar bowls of food-one is offered food-Krsna Prasadam, the other bowl is the same thing but not offered.
If they can tell which one is offered, that means they can see spirit and tell which is material (unoffered) .
If they cannot tell which is offered or un offered-then do as Prabhupada would do-kick them in their face with “boot”. There will be no offense incurred , but on the contrary, you will receive the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and the entire param para !!!
Hare Krsna
