Back to Prabhupada, Issue 21, Autumn 2008
By Krishnakant
It’s already bad enough that the GBC have foisted an unauthorised guru hoax system on us, and removed Srila Prabhupada as ISKCON’s Guru. But they insist on justifying the hoax via the most absurd of reasons. Thus, one of these GBC voted-in guru hoaxers, His Grace Sankarsana Das, claims that we must accept him as an unauthorised guru for the following reason:
“Because you are not pure enough to receive direct transmissions from Lord Jesus or the Holy Spirit within, you therefore require the telecommunication link of the external bona fide spiritual master. Just like if someone was standing in front of you, you could speak directly to him. But if he was at a great distance you would require the telecommunication link of a telephone."
(Sankarsana Das, May 14th, 2007)
Yet he himself has not had any such “external bona fide spiritual master” for the last 30 years, nor did he barely have any “direct” contact with Srila Prabhupada even when Srila Prabhupada was physically present on the planet:
“Physically I had scant association with my spiritual master.”
(Sankarsana Das, August 5th, 2008)
So we must accept His Grace Sankarsana Das as our guru, because we must accept a physically present spiritual master in order to receive “direct” communication, and this is evidenced by the fact that he himself does not have one!
