Hare Krishna!
Radhe Giridhari dasa (ACBSP)
I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.
I am very pleased to announce that I have been given initiation as a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
I have accepted the spiritual name Radhe Giridhari dasa (ACBSP) on Saturday February 13, 2010 given to me by Tamoharadasa v (ACBSP)
There has been much debate as to what His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada wanted regarding initiations after his disappearance. It has been 33 years since Prabhupada departed and the debate continues. We have lost so much time and many devotees of Lord Sri Krishna because of this debate. It cannot continue.
After doing much research investigation and praying I have come to the realization that, regardless of debate, Prabhupada’s mission must be fulfilled. This must be done even if it means we may be on the wrong side of the debate. I am more than willing to take that chance as it is quite obvious to me that Prabhupada’s intended mission dwindles and becomes deviated with each passing day.
The debate is not more important than the mission. I have spent so much time trying to figure this all out. Time that could have been better spent chanting the Holy Names, hearing and preaching. Many have suffered in their spiritual walk and yet ISKCON continues to hold fast at all costs. The cost is too high. It is time to move forward.
It does not matter to me what ISKCON thinks of ritvik initiation as I only see ISKCON continue to deteriorate as a result of it’s refusal to accept all of Prabhupada’s followers as Godbrothers and Godsisters.
It is now time to get back to the work set out for us by our Srila Prabhupada with or without anyone else’s blessings.
Ask yourself: Would we be pleasing Prabhupada if we chose allegiance to any institution over the mission of spreading Krishna Consciousness?
I don’t know about any other servant of Krishna’s, but my allegiance is to Krishna and Prabhupada.
There is work to be done.
Your ever well-wisher,

It would be nice to know what hard work does His Grace Radha Giridhari das intend to do for the mission of Srila Prabhupada. Anyone doing menial service for Guru and Krishna is worthy of the blessings of any sincere devotee of the Lord.
Thanks for bringing up the point of working hard for Prabhupada! Hopefully your understanding is not anymore, to work hard like you did for 20 years, to introduce new Bhaktas as cannon fodder for impostors in the lineage of Harikes!
Big or small, this reminds of the story of Hanuman and the spider which Srila Prabhupada told us.
For us, Srila Prabhupada is answering all such questions perfectly!
Both the spider and Hanuman were engaged in building the bridge to Sri Lanka. Of course the spider was only able to kick up some dust whereas Hanuman was throwing big boulders in the water. Hanuman said to the spider: “Get out my way, you little runt, I am serving Lord Rama.†But, Lord Rama interceded and told Hanuman that the spider was doing as much service as he was.
