ELEPHANT OFFENSE

Torben Nielsen: Chant. read, sravanam, kirtanam visno, smaranam, pada sevanam etc. Follow Prabhupada. But do not do anything not bona fide. Especially when it comes to discipleship.
It´s a maze of misunderstandings/offenses that has been/is being committed since Prabhupada´s departure. So these people/us should not be to eager to progress beyond our capacity. Better safe than sorry. What we know for SURE is that SP wants us to study his books.
These initiations whether they be to self-proclaimed institutional gurus in "ISKCON" or self-styled modes of initiation to a guru, not physically present are an obsession beyond the need of the day.
Meena Devi Dasi Yes. it is an array of partial views and understandings. Like the blind men with the elephant. Elephant is like a tree, elephant is a like a wall, elephant is like a snake... meanwhile it is elephant offense.
