GBC “ultimate managing authority” MUST follow the WILL of Srila Prabhupada’s Management.
Note: the conversation in Vrndavan took place on the (771008r2.vrn) 8th of OCTOBER 1977 this means that the Ritvik System of July 9th 1977 was ALREADY in place – so this MUST be followed. For the WILL to be enforced in FUTURE generations this means the disciple MUST be INITIATED by Srila Prabhupada – this can ONLY happen by the Ritvik System of July 9th 1977 Srila Prabhupada ORDERED. Srila Prabhupada stated in the WILL that there should be no change:
THE SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT WILL CONTINUE AS IT IS NOW AND THERE IS NO NEED OF ANY CHANGE.

Hare Krsna, Prabhus.
Srila Prabhupada made a Will codicil 5 th day of November, 1977.
There is an important point:
” I have appointed some executors of my said Will. I now hereby add the name of Sri Jayapataka Swami, my disciple, residing at Sri Mayapur Chandrodoya Mandir, Dist. Nadia, West Bengal. as an executor of my said Will along with the persons already named in the said Will dated 4th June, 1977. I hereby further direct that my executors will be entitled to act together or individually to fulfill their obligations under my said Will.”
…to act together or INDIVIDUALLY …
At present this Will still is living.
Srila Prabhupada wants to initiate by GBC in His Will. The GBC should become pure. This opportunity is stated by Srila Prabhupada. This is 3. point.
Dear Mahesh Raja Prabhu , you are writing “GBC “ultimate managing authority” MUST follow the Will of Srila Prabhupada’s Management .”
In spite of that you wrote in your other writing about Niyamagreha in termes emergency Ritvik initiations. It seems to me a contradict. Please explain me.

Mahesh: No contradiction. The PRESENT situation is the GBC are NOT following Srila Prabhupada. THEREFORE, they HAVE TO BE REJECTED and devotees have to NOW take-up the EMERGENCY PATH niyamagraha:
The meaning of NIYAMAGRAHA in terms of EMERGENCY Ritvik Initiations
http://www.prabhupadanugas.eu/news/?p=42180
Even in ordinary life situation we USE COMMON-SENSE when we are driving and there is an obstruction on the road we avoid that and find another route to continue our journey. Spiritual life is PRACTICAL. Srila Prabhupada is teaching us HOW TO THINK. Spiritual life is NOT about blind following – hence the NIYAMAGRAHA. Here is an example where Srila Prabhupada is TEACHING US HOW TO THINK and ACT when there is an issue:PRESENT CONSIDERATION IS THE JUDGEMENT. It is NOT about how good one was in the past. The past is PAST the issue is about PRESENT:
SO PHALENA PARICIYATE. YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE CASE, SUPPOSE A MAN WAS VERY GOOD NOW HE HAS STOLEN SOMETHING STILL HE IS A GOOD MAN? PRESENT CONSIDERATION IS THE JUDGEMENT
Note: the PRESENT CONSIDERATION IS THE JUDGEMENT
721008MW-BERKELEY
Prabhupada: SO PHALENA PARICIYATE. YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE CASE, SUPPOSE A MAN WAS VERY GOOD NOW HE HAS STOLEN SOMETHING STILL HE IS A GOOD MAN? PRESENT CONSIDERATION IS THE JUDGEMENT… There is a Bengali proverb that seven generations before my forefathers used to eat ghee, ghee butter so still I got this smell.
Devotee (1): Hm.
Prabhupada: SEVEN GENERATIONS BEFORE MY FOREFATHERS USED TO EAT GHEE SO THEREFORE THAT SMELL IS STILL THERE IN MY HOUSE. IS THAT VERY GOOD ARGUMENT?
Manipulative Bogus Self-Appointed GBC versus Srila Prabhupada’s “Direction of Management” (1970)
http://www.prabhupadanugas.eu/news/?p=46023
IF the GBC follow Srila Prabhupada -THEN- they can be accepted. OTHERWISE WE REJECT. There is NO BLIND FOLLOWING the GBC.
Srila Prabhupada is VERY VERY VERY clear: *PRESENT* CONSIDERATION IS THE JUDGEMENT.
The PRESENT situation is: GBC is NOT FOLLOWING Srila Prabhupada hence, they are (asara) USELESS. REJECTED.
