• Tamal Krsna Goswami: Actually, Prabhupada never appointed any gurus. He didn’t appoint eleven gurus. He appointed eleven ritviks. He never appointed them gurus. Myself and the other GBC have done the greatest disservice to this movement the last three years because we interpreted the appointment of ritviks as the appointment of gurus.

    Gopala Krsna: Srila Prabhupada, I am just trying to clarify -- I don't want to offend anyone -- but no disciple of yours should call himself diksa-guru or siksa-guru. Am I right? Prabhupada:.." Well, everyone is engaged to become siksa-guru, but one should become perfect. The attempt is -- what is called? -- probationer. When probationer period is finished, then he is naturally, automatically, bona fide guru. Not in the probationer period. That is immature attempt. That will failure. Amara ajnaya [Cc. Madhya 7.128], Caitanya Mahaprabhu said: "By My order." So all my disciples are expected to become siksa-guru on my order, not by his own order." Srila Prabhupada's room conversation May 30 1976 Honolulu, Hawaii.

    While you clowns were playing stupid games in the corrupt courts, those of us following Srila Prabhupada's orders were out making new disciples of Srila Prabhupada to turn this take-over by demons around. But no support, no donations much, no encouragement except rarely. You mostly all sat on your asses and rang bells and pontificated or even supported the murderers. And so, everything lost due to my godbrothers and sisters failing to follow instructions. I blame you idiots, and you will have to pay by many rebirths to turn around the cia take-over by globalist demons. I tried to warn you, but instead you banned me everywhere and made fun of me and turned your noses. Well, now you get what you bloody well get.
