Just Sentiment, no logic, no siddhanta they are never serious about surrendering to a pure devotee to go btg thats why they are cheated again and again by so called "living" gurus.
They want to be cheated
SBSST said that people are cheated because they want to be cheated.
These women would choose any fake guru over prabhupada thats why they are always confused about spiritual life like thousands of others in guru camps
Srila Prabhupada ist still alive in His Books in His Pictures.
@NirjharneelIn which shastra it is said that puss blood stool amd urine is a guru not Vani? If prabhupada described teachings as his body then we have to accept vani as a living diksha guru.
We have bodily identification thats why we need some body to associate with. Indeed association of senior devotees is essential but those devotees need not be a diksha guru. Association with a diksha guru is on spiritual platform which is done through Vani. One must be sincere and Srilla prabhupada as a spiritual master takes charge of his spiritual lives and his spiritual education. A conditioned soul cannot perform the function of diksha or diksha guru.
If it was pre 1977 iskcon, These devotees would have left due to not being able to get a "personal" relationship from "living, breathing" body of Srilla prabhupada that more than 60% of early disciples never got.
Prabhupada described vani , instructions as "living" .
Other functions of being personally taking care of new devotees, correcting their mistakes is to be done by senior devotees like temple presidents etc, that is how movement was established by Srilla Prabhupada. Bodily association with devotees and spiritual association with diksha guru through Vani.
This was a pre 77 system and can also be followed after srilla Prabhupadas disappearance through ritvik system.
