Attack on ISKCON
<< 10 What is the ṛtvik people? >>
 | |
| Another strong attack on ISKCON is the ṛtvik people. How many of you know what is the
ṛtvik movement? Just a few of you. Okay, but we could speak for hours about that. But basically, the ṛtvik people, there's very strong movement now going around the world. The ṛtvik people say that, "Śrīla Prabhupāda is meant to be the only initiating guru in ISKCON for the next 10,000 years."
| | There's too angles of vision of ṛtviks, they say that either Prabhupāda is meant to be initiating guru forever, or until another self-effulgent, self-realized pure devotee appears in ISKCON. Then that person can also accept disciples. And the way that they substantiate this is, number one, by showing the falldown of a number of ISKCON gurus. This means that philosophy is cracked because so many leading gurus have fallen down, they were not qualified. And they say that the others will fall very soon. And, number two, from the history surrounding Prabhupāda's departure. Prabhupāda, before he passed away, he said that he will assign eleven of his disciples who were the ṛtvik, or officiating ācāryas, to initiate on his behalf.
| | So, these are the two basic presentations of the ṛtvik people. I mean, it is quite involved, but these are the two basic presentations. They have different tape recordings of Prabhupāda, and different things Prabhupāda said, etc. Let us discuss these two things a little bit, so when the ṛtviks come to Russia - and they will come to Russia - you won't be bamboozled or bewildered by these arguments.
