GURU TATTVA #4 LAST ACARYA?...IMPERISHABLE SCIENCE

Discussion on guru tattva #4
In response to this recent post:
"So although a physical body is not present, the vibration should be accepted as the presence of the Spiritual Master, vibration. What we have heard from the Spiritual Master, that is living" (Lecture, 13/1/69, LA)
Devotee comment:
This is the MOST heartening news!!! That we, who are feeling bereft of the personal association of our beloved Gurudeva, can KNOW he will ALWAYS be present and guiding us exactly like SriParamatma..... this is the most munificent and glorious compassionate nature of Guru... our dearmost friend and trancendental teacher, Srila Prabhupada KI JAYA!!
Meena Devi Dasi:
Yes for those of us who are initiated by Him.
Others will need be initiated by a disciple of Srila Prabhupada.
There is much confusion about this.
The tendency is to say
Srila Prabhupada is the "Last Acarya." Which is rubbish.
There was a problem with this sort of thing
when He was physically present too.
It was being promulgated by some
that Srila Prabhupada was an incarnation of God.
He stopped that immediately.
Disciplic succession is eternal. It is always going on.
Krishna describes the process as "this imperishable science of yoga."
People are very confused about this.
Sudra or less do not need initiation.
But it is the mission of the Vaishnavas to raise people
from sudra or less to brahmana Vaishnava if possible.
The disciplic succession is not ended with Srila Prabhupada.
I will go on with or without you.
It is going on right now.
