Am I mistaken? I hear often from non-Prabhupada devotees that they just don't get or feel divine ecstasy and intervention. It is as if they are dependent upon the mechanics of sadhana and the external exotic lifestyles to satisfy their deep spiritual needs, but not quite achieving it.
Could it be that due to not having received an actual Vaisnava initiation, they are precluded from the mercy flow? Lord Caitanya did not display the Mahabhava until He took diksha from Srila Isvara Puri, then He poured forth enough tears of love for Radha Krsna to water the flower beds.
Srila Prabhupada never authorized any Gurus, he authorized siksha assistants to do initiations of his new disciples, not to accept disciples like so many Jesuses. Srila B.V. Puri Maharajaha confirmed this on video. So, the bogus Zonal Acaryas were all thieves and con men, deviant cheats, therefore they could not act as any kind of guru siksha or even as actual brahmanas. Any following their line are therefore also unauthorized, they never took a bonafide diksha. That includes all of Itsacon. Harinama and intent are powerful, so they make some advancement of course, but remember the example of Sri Krsna Caitanya...
Could it be that, like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, a proper diksha was first required? He sets the perfect example for us. So, if you have not found Krsna consious bliss, then take a real diksha from a Prabhupada ritvik. That might help! Hare Krsna ! All glories to Srila Prabhupada !
