ISKCON Ritvik Debate San Diego - early 1990sReplying to Jurjen van der HoekJust accepting Srila Prabhupada as the real diksa guru is the safest option. There is nothing wrong with it. He is present in his instructions. Srila Prabhupada himself has stated several times that guru-initiation is just formality, and that the real initiation is being serious in chanting Hare Krsna and following the process.@kollidurga Srila Prabhupada never wanted ISKCON to break up. He wanted his disciples to collaborate. If you are willing to pay the price of forgoing iskcon's impact on society by prioritizing internal misunderstandings, go for it. The decision is yours to make, what you want to make a priority. In this case, neither parties are Duryodhana. Both are approaching Prabhupada's vision differently. Each party is contributing to the society. -

What Vaishnava behavior have you developed? Forgive, let go and see broader picture. See the impact these both organizations are creating. Internal conflicts will derail iskcon whichever iskcon it is.

Also, there is no proper evidence. Learn to forgive and appreciate current efforts.
