ritvik (7)

"... in the absence of a suitable king to curb irreligious tendencies, educating the people systematically in the teaching of Srimad-Bhagavatam will clear up the hazy atmosphere of corruption, bribery, blackmail, etc." – Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.7.27 (1972 edition, original and unedited).

prema dhana vina vyartha daridra-jivana
dasa kari vetan more deha prema dhana

Life without Love is useless and poor they say,
Appoint me in Thy service, Oh Lord with Love as my pay.

  

 "Similarly, we must find out the essential part of a living being which is always companion with him. That part of constant companion of the living being is his eternal quality, and the eternal part of the living being's quality is his eternal religion."

Ritvik - compiled by Tamoharadasa

Srila Prabhupada ;

" From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. "

 "Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not meant to be one-sided. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement also should be all-pervading. It should touch everything, even politics, sociology, everything, if required. That is the aim. Because Kṛṣṇa’s mission is: yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata [Bg. 4.7], paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8]."

"Make your own field... and continue to be Ritvik... and act on my behalf." - Śrīla Prabhupāda: July 31, 1977.

Srila Prabhupada: Only Lord Chaitanya can take my place. He will take care of my movement.

-(Conv. 2.11.77)

All "Gooroos" must be removed, only Srila Prabhupada is our Sri Gurudeva. All GBC must resign. All temple presidents and officers must resign, and elections held. Only Srila Prabhupada disciples may seek election as Temple President etc. now and hereafter. Those who are disciples of unauthorized "gooroos" may retake a bonafide initiation as eternal servants of Srila Prabhupada, and seek elected office. All duly elected Temple Presidents may recommend and arrange for dikshas for new disciples of Srila Prabhupada.

To All G.B.C., and Temple Presidents

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. Recently when all of the GBC members were with His Divine Grace in Vrndavana, Srila Prabhupada indicated that soon He would appoint some of His senior disciples to act as ritvik - representative of the acarya, for the purpose of performing initiations, both first initiation and second initiation. His Divine Grace has so far given a list of eleven disciples who will act in that capacity:

His Holiness Kirtanananda Swami
His Holin

Srila Prabhupada with TKG, prior to the May 28th recording. Let us take a look:

Srila Prabhupada: Yes. I shall recommend some of you. After this is settled up, I shall recommend some of you to act as officiating acarya.
Tamal Krsna: Is that called ritvik acarya?
Srila Prabhupada: Ritvik. Yes.

Correspondence with Godbrothers

Dear Uttama Sloka  and Hasti Gopal  Prabhus; Reading your correspondence, I wrote this. It is general and applies not specific to either of you, but does express my feelings in general on the topics raised;
 
 
Pamdo. Thank you for adding me to this discussion, however I have seen this sort of thing too often before, and although I offer my respects to the readers, I am not myself particularly interested in further debates, having moved away from that and into the field. As well, the world situation is such that there is no more time for debate. The ritvik versus GBC etc issues are puny compared to world take-over by poisoners and demons. Still, It is good that Godbrothers interact, good that we are able to interact.
 
In  all due respect, why would anyone want to take a chance with the blooping poisoner gurus when an extraordinary loving pure devotee is fully available? I am 100% in favor of simply presenting Srila Prabhupada as he is. The people of the world  recognize a pure advance
