Radha Shakti

It is obviously natural while one is alive, but after leaving the body, not anymore. The ritvik conspiracy is childish, you do not mention the fact that even the current Iskcon gurus do initiation from a distance, you do not mention that Prabhupada never said that this will continue after he leaves the body, it is OBVIOUS that while the guru is alive, the disciples initiate through him, obviously. But after he leaves the body, not anymore.

BHAKTI SIDDHANT SARASWATI WRITES IN 'TRUE CONCEPTION OF SRI GURU TATTVA' AS FOLLOWES:

"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."

Everybody chants it. Every devotee I know. I chant it many times per day for 10 years now. You all like an apocalyptic atmosphere.
