Ritvik means priest. So the title of your video is:
ISKCON defeats priest initiation, or priestly initiation which makes no sense since all initiating gurus are in fact monks or priests. Stop this & start focussing on Prabhupada & build more farms! There are too few, not very many for the amount of famines that will happen eventually in this world. Food shortages will get worse, and you won’t be prepared for them when all you do is argue about the word priest. Stop creating sectarian divisions & work on unity through food security. How about that?
I meant why be so critical against the word “ritvik”? Prabhupada used that word to explain to Satsvarupa Maharaja what an officiating Achariya will be to initiate others after his departure. There’s nothing wrong with this word! It simply means priest. What’s wrong with that-can somebody please explain that to me? My suspicion now is that this word is only used to force all people to only accept an ISKCON guru? Is that what this is all about? Mmm…
Prabhupada did appoint officiating Achariyas to initiate after his departure. Same as “ritvik”. Why do you play with words? Or get so attached about that word & give it a negative nature wgdd ed n all it means is priest, and is a word used for thousands of years in India. Stop demo using a word that has a good meaning. What’s so wrong with the word priest? You’re being unbecessariky critical of nothing. I cannot even comprehend why you’d be focussed on this so much instead of on Krishna? Is it because you’re so attached in creating a sectarian division, or a conflict? Seems like it! You cannot force everybody to think like you. Chant Hare Krishna & be happy! 🙏 ❤
“Divya jnana hrde prokasito. What is that divya jnana? This is divya jnana. Diksa. Diksa means from this divya jnana”.
(Srila Prabhupada lecture 11/7/76)
So from this statement we must conclude that Prabhupada is the only diksa guru for ISKCON since he’s the one who brought the jnana, not the other ISKCON gurus who came after him. They just repeat the jnana that he brought and even changed his books. Prabhupada also says in his letters that a bonafide guru is a pure uttama-adhikari devotee and cannot fall down at that stage. The fallen gurus were not at that level, that’s why they fell obviously.
Dish’s means the one who brought the knowledge, Divya-jnan, this was Prabhupada because none of the other ISKCON gurus brought this-it was Prabhupada. So to say he’s not the Diksha guru for ISKCON is a huge offense at his lotus feet; and to say we cannot accept him as our Diksha guru is nonsense. None of these other ISKCON gurus can replace him, never!You young generations of devotees have been falsely conditioned by the false guru system, I heard this in this video with my own ears when you said we cannot accept initiation by Prabhupada through a ritvik guru-but Prabhupada is everybody’s guru-he’s more so than all the other ones put together! ❤❤❤
