More confessions on the ISKCON guru hoax

Autumn 2006

As we have consistently pointed out, the only possible way one could claim to be an initiating guru in ISKCON is if Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON’s real Guru, had authorised one or more successors. This authorisation by the bona fide spiritual master is not optional – it is a sastric (scriptural) injunction:

**“One should take initiation from a bona fide spiritual master coming in the disciplic succession, who is authorised by his predecessor spiritual master. This is called diksa-vidhana.”
**_(Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.8.54, purport)_

Below we see three more confessions that the creation of diksa (initiating) gurus in ISKCON to replace Srila Prabhupada was not based on any order from Srila Prabhupada. Rather, four separate reasons are given as to how these gurus came into being:

1) Other unauthorised gurus fell down.
2) The opportunity was there to take disciples.
3) A lot of pressure was applied to become a guru.
4) The GBC body decided that Srila Prabhupada should be replaced.
