An unbiased intelligence would mark that in the Nairobi confrontation His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada thrice explains the importance of having to receive “the order” from a higher transcendental authority. In this connection, please permit me to share my humble realisations of these teachings.

[It goes without saying that only the bona fide disciple(s), spiritual master(s) & Sampradaya(s) are being referred to here, i.e., all sahajiyas--new & old--are outside the scope of anything logical, reasonable & sensible. Therefore those deviants ought to be utterly rejected.]

The Vaisnava siddhanta is the essence/cream of Vedic teachings. It’s absolutely personal, because Supreme Lord Sri Visnu & His devotees are eternal, individual personalities (visnu asarati iti vaisnava; jivera ‘svarupa’ haya–krsnera ‘nitya-dasa’ – Cc.M.20.108). In fact, the non-devotees of Visnu are also eternal individual persons, even when, out of ignorance under the influence of Lord’s illusionary energy, they offensively push impersonal or whatever material philosophy of the day against Visnu & His devotees. Their so-called non-devotee status is also simply artificial & illusional. They’ve mastered the art of simply wasting valuable time (ayur harati vai pumsam – SB 2.3.17), i.e., all rooted in their hatred towards rendering service to Visnu.

Personal means personal seva to Visnu & His personal acceptance of that seva, which leads to personal satisfaction to all (yajno vai visnu; sarvarhanam acyutejya – SB 4.31.14; su-sukham kartum avyayam – BG 9.2). Srimad Bhagavatam teaches us that Visnu seva or yajna is best rendered through His pure devotee(s), i.e., through the bona fide spiritual master(s) coming down in the disciplic succession(s) (nityam bhagavata-sevaya SB 1.2.18; tadiyanam samarcanam – PP; yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado – Sri Guru-astakam). Recognising such a bona fide spiritual master and a bona fide disciple, who gets qualified by his devotional service to be a spiritual master in the disciplic succession, is the focus of this article, of course.

One can only be admitted as an initiated disciple in the Sampradaya only when a spiritual master approves/acknowledges the validity of that discipleship (even in the rare exceptional instances of initiation by a spiritual master who has left the manifest plane, a disciple still gets a personal confirmation; none of the institutional delusions and assurances apply there). Seva is never complete without a confirmation of satisfaction from the object of that seva. How can initiation, an eternal commitment of seva, be real/transcendental without a confirmation from the bona fide spiritual master? Because no conditioned soul has any faculties (sarira avidya-jal, jodendriya tahe kal – Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura; na bhaved grahyam indriyaih – BRS 1.2.234) to confirm anything transcendental, including his very admittance to the transcendental plane (i.e., initiation) to render personal seva, confirmation is needed from higher authorities at every step of the way. Acting whimsically is a material way of life (vartate kama-karatah – BG 16.23) and is not spiritual at all.

Suppose, if one whimsically claims to have been initiated, without an acknowledgement/acceptance from a spiritual master (which is what Rittvik are pushing on in an institutionalised manner), it’s clearly an apasiddhanta, because there’s no transcendental authority backing up such an outrageous claim. This is a dishonest behaviour. This is a big anartha. How could the so-called brahmana disciples push on this non-sense? Honesty demands to get personal confirmation at every step of the way. Where is it? I think this simple logic all unbiased devotees of straight forward thinking would accept.

If admittance as a disciple has to be authorised by a spiritual master, then what to speak of a qualified disciple becoming a guru without getting authorisation from the spiritual master (which is what “ISKCON” and vitiated GBC are pushing on in an institutionalised manner through their rubber stamping regime)? Where is the transcendental, personal confirmation of such a seva being accepted by Visnu through the disciplic succession(s)? This is also an equally big anartha. They were originally initiated to render seva; acting whimsically, they’ve now mastered the art of receiving so-called seva for themselves, which is nothing but material bondage (yajnarthat karmano ‘nyatra loko ‘yam karma-bandanah BG 3.9). So there has been one frustration after another (padam padam yad vipadam – SB 10.14.58).

Therefore both of these partities are deviants (Rittviks – neo-kartabhaja; “ISKCON” – neo-jata-gosani), simply for lack of having received personal confirmation from higher authorities for their various schemes. Simply schemes of cheating in the society of cheaters and cheated. In the 2008 Transformations interview with Kailasa Candra prabhu that you’ve quoted explains these wrongdoings elaborately including the ill advices flowing from Navadvipa from the dawn of the time for these deviant seeds to flourish and now bear the fruits of frustrations.

As Kailasa Candra prabhu has recommended in The Myth Of The Final Order that you’ve quoted a brilliant snippet from, the whole of Srila Prabhupada’s teachings (gaura-vani) must be taken wholeheartedly. Those who have been meddling with the gaura-vani for whatever their personal or institutional motives (i.e., Srila Prabhupada’s books being meddled by so-called BBT/BBT-I and siddhanta by GBC and their fabricated so-called ISKCON, Ritviks, neo-matt & Solar Smorgasbord) must be thoroughly condemned along the way.

Thank you. Hare Krishna
