Prabhupadanugas Initiation Ceremony – Jaipur, India
On the auspicious occasion of Srivas Acarya’s Appearance Day (1. April 2016) – 25 devotees, some from Germany and Russia, were initiated in Jaipur, India by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada via his Ritvik-Initiation-System:
Srila Prabhupada states in writing: “…continue to become ritvik and act on my behalf.” (July 31th)
“The newly initiated devotees are disciples of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, the above eleven senior devotees acting as His representative.
After the Temple President receives a letter from these representatives giving the spiritual name or the thread, he can perform the fire yajna in the temple as was being done before.
The name of a newly initiated disciple should be sent by the representative who has accepted him or her to Srila Prabhupada to be included in His Divine Grace’s ‘Initiated Disciples’ book“.
Srila Prabhupada is always the initiating guru of the society and he confirms it in the following quote:
Prahupada: “Yes, I am the spiritual master of this institution, and all the members of the society, they’re supposed to be my disciples. They follow the rules and regulations which I ask them to follow, and they are initiated by me spiritually.” (March 12, 1968, San Francisco)

Ritvik System is Bonafide

For the kind attention of all the Learned devotees / followers of Srila Prabhupada !
Dear Prabhus,
PAMHO.
As His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada did authorize his senior disciples to continue ACT as a Ritvik Representative of the Acaraya, and as these specific authorized Ritvik Acarayas are no longer following Srila Prabhupada’s Instructions, the question is as follow ;
” Is there any such particular and/or specific instructions from HDG. Srila Prabhupada that a temple president of any where can also perform such activities of the Ritvik officiating i.e. name giving, ist and 2nd initiations etc. on behalf of Srila Prabhupada ? ”
Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada explains very nicely the importance of initiation in the SB. 10.2.18 wherein it is mentioned that unless one is initiated by the right person, who always carries within his heart the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one cannot acquire the power to carry the Supreme Godhead within the core of one’s own heart.
Respected Learned Leaders ;
PAMHO,
It has been quite a while when I ask the question ;
” Is there any such particular and/or specific instructions from HDG. Srila Prabhupada that a temple president of any where can also perform such activities of the Ritvik officiating i.e. name giving, ist and 2nd initiations etc. on behalf of Srila Prabhupada ? ”
It seems that there is NONE any particular or specific such Instructions from HDG. Srila Prabhupada to the Temple Presidents of Iskcon world wide because there was no such need. There is no doubt about it.
However, there is perhaps a reason for it. The reason seemingly appears that during Srila Prabhupada’s manifested lila such rittvik initiations were already being performed on Srila Prabhupada behalf not only by the persons named in July 9th Letter but also by sannyasis, GBCs including Temple Presidents as well who happened to be responsible and reliable persons on the occasion of such initiation ceremonies.
Thus, the Temple Presidents are / were totally working as a Puppet of HDG. Srila Prabhupada as He desires and explains clearly as follows ;
“As I am puppet of my Guru Maharaja, if you become my puppet, then that is success. Our success is there when we become puppet of the predecessor. To live in the society of devotees and to become puppet of the predecessor acarya, that is success. So we are trying to do that. Krishna consciousness society and serve the predecessor. That’s all.” (Conversation 4-19-73).
As Srila Prabhupada says ; “I shall remain your personal guidance, physically present or not physically, as I am getting personal guidance from my guru maharaja” (Srila Prabhupada to Tamal Krishna, 14 July 1977).
Therefore, all of us must hear from our Jagat Guru His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada ki jaya.
Hare Krishna.
YS….. Amar Puri.
