The last argument where prabhu mentions Guru is eternal. Does that mean I can get initiated by Lord Brahma? Why stop there…can I get Lord Krsna as my diksa guru?
Did Srila Prabhupada say a diksa-guru is eternal or did he say the guru-tattva is eternal?
_"This line of guru-parampara is existing up to today without any break and it will continue to exist like this in the future also. To say 'there is no bonafide Guru living in the world at present and neither will there be any in the future,' is an atheistic opinion."_ — *BHAKTI SIDDHANT SARASWATI THAKUR*
Just 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.
Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Thakur writes in 'True conception of Sri Guru Tattva' as follows:
*"This line of guru-parampara is existing up to today without any break and it will continue to exist like this in the future also. To say 'there is no bonafide Guru living in the world at present and neither will there be any in the future,' is an atheistic opinion."*
