Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The initiation, by Haripada dasa
The process of Krishna consciousness or Bhakti-yoga is like a staircase that has nine steps, the first is faith, faith means having complete conviction that by chanting the Holy Name of God or Krishna will automatically fulfill all spiritual duties and complete all pious activities. Those who do not have that faith are inept to chant the Holy Name, the second step is the association with the devotees, the result of which is that the faith increases, and the third step is the initiation, in the introduction to the Nectar of devotion Srila Prabhupada says that the link with the spiritual master is called initiation. From the day the spiritual master gives the initiation, the link between Kṛṣṇaṇa and the person who cultivates Kṛṣṇa consciousness is established. Without being initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, the true connection with the Kṛṣṇa consciousness plane never occurs. Sobe this point of initiation among the devotees of Krishna there is a schism, schism means different opinions in a group of people, some think that Srila Prabhupada authorized his disciples to be gurus to continue the guru parampara and others say that Srila Prabhupada On July 9, 1977, he sent a special letter to all the temples of his movement ordering his disciples to initiate in his name. The difference between these two groups is that those who say that Srila Prabhupada authorized his disciples to be gurus did not you can prove that Srila Prabhupada said that, and the other group that says that Srila Prabhupada sent a special letter to all the temples of his movement on July 9, 1977 ordering his disciples to initiate in his name, yes they can prove it because that letter It is there, there is this letter, and anyone can read it. In 1986 I was initiated in Iskcon, that same year that guru fell, then in 1990 I was initiated with another guru, and when I was informed that Srila Prabhupada did not leave anyone as his successor, he ordered his disciples to initiate In his name, in order to not be an accomplice of all the offenses that were being done to Srila Prabhupada, I left Iskcon, then in 2008 a disciple of Srila Prabhupada initiated me in the name of Srila Prabhupada, that has helped me a lot to feel the Srila Prabhupada's presence in my life and to purify me of contamination because I was previously initiated by two false gurus. My humble opinion is that all the devotees who have been initiated by false gurus have never been connected to the guru parampara, a guru who is offending Srila Prabhupada because he does not want to obey the order to initiate in the name of Srila Prabhupada lives influenced by the modalities low of ignorance and passion, in that person there can be no kindness, that is why all those devotees should be initiated with disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are obeying Srila Prabhupada's order to initiate in his name.
I share that a devotee sent me this on initiation: Conference on SB 1.5.36 - Vrindavana, August 17, 1974: In many ways we can always remember Kṛṣṣṇa. That ... (Pause) ... if someone is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, that's fine, but singing because of the need for initiation. Initiation means that the disciples accept the instruction of the spiritual master and Kṛṣṇa accepts the disciple immediately to give him a spiritual body. This is the process. Otherwise, there is no need for initiation.
