@DevRaja2025 There is not an "indian" Guru parampara, but a sanatan dharma parampara. We have the char sampradaya and its parampara. Sri, Brahma, Rudra and Kumara sampradaya. All bonafide with the respective Guru parampara coming from Laksmi, Brahma, Shiva, and the Kumaras, and represented by Ramanuja, Madhvacarya, Vishnuswami and Nimbaditya or Nimbarka. Until the present moment, each sampradaya having the same basic siddhanta is represented by one or more acharyas. You are right that no diksa can be taken from a murti, this is total speculation, and was not what Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada presented, he followed the tradition and respected the four sampradayas and their teachings. The qualifications of the Guru were also established by him according to Bhagavad Gita and other shastra.

They were not real gurus, a bonafide spiritual master with the qualities described in sastra and by Srila Prabhupada, does not fall

yes, this is why most of us don´t take the position of guru, which is reserved for those who do not sin

Not ritvik system, but also no appointment of gurus, as the same Tamal Krishna G declared. Guru after Prabhupada, yes but only those who have the qualification, that are very clearly presented in his divine grace books, like this one for example: ... vāco vegaṁ manasaḥ krodha-vegaṁ jihvā-vegam udaropastha-vegam etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ sarvām apīmāṁ pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind’s demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world.
