Working Principles of Buddhi Yoga

In the absence of a manifest diksa guru, bhagavad-vidhi initiation through the book bhagavat is a genuine alternative which links a sincere and serious devotee to the sampradaya. It is not a cheap affair, and it does not preclude the future appearance of either an uttama adhikari or a madhyam adhikari to take up the post of diksa guru. As such, it does not preclude the disciple (who has accepted this book bhagavat initiation) from receiving his pancaratriki-vidhi initiation from a genuine manifest guru at any time after having attained the bhagavad vidhi initiation.Show more

Srila Prabhupada is the siksa guru for every devotee of the Krsna consciousness movement in his line, but only the diksa guru for disciples whom he initiated during his manifest, i.e., physical, presence. Connection to the sampradaya cannot exclude the mysteries of disciplic succession. These mysteries are viable whether they are understood, misunderstood, or totally neglected by conditioned souls.
