Why are They Never Quoted as Sastric Evidence?
BY: MAHESH RAJA

Dec 29, UK (SUN) — My question is one of common-sense:

If Lord Krishna has factually recognised the 2 batches as advanced pure devotees, i.e.,

1) GBC voted/self-made gurus of ISKCON; and
2) the Gaudiya math's self-made gurus,

Why are they never quoted as sastric evidence?

Here are some examples of quoted devotees:

Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura - quoted as authority
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura - quoted as authority
Srila Prabhupada - practically everyone- quotes his books

Even the disciples of the 2 batches cannot quote their own gurus as sastric evidence - so what does it say for their recognition from Lord Krsna? What's their worth?

Srila Prabhupada ki Jai!

It is factually Srila Prabhupada who is delivering and it is this Uttama-adhikari that delivers, because his words are surcharged with Lord Krishna's lotus feet.

guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete kariyā aikya,
āra nā kariha mane āśā

Others can simple rattle on - but it is Srila Prabhupada who is factually recognised by Lord Krishna - because everyone has to quote him. Why? Because Lord Krishna manifests in his words. Consequently, he is addressed His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada has entered the lila of Lord Krsna, and he is therefore fittingly addressed as *Srila* Prabhupada. Others are addressed as "maharaja" this/that. How can such maharaja give diksa? If they do not have Lord Krishna's lila televised in their own heart, how can they transmit to another? All bluffing and cheating!

Note: His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada speaks as Krsna speaks.

Antya 5.71
One is forbidden to accept the guru, or spiritual master, as an ordinary human being (gurusu nara-matih). When Ramananda Raya spoke to Pradyumna Misra, Pradyumna Misra could understand that Ramananda Raya was not an ordinary human being. A spiritually advanced person who acts with authority, as the spiritual master, speaks as the Supreme Personality of Godhead dictates from within. Thus it is not he that is personally speaking. When a pure devotee or spiritual master speaks, what he says should be accepted as having been directly spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the parampara system.

Note: difference is, Srila Prabhupada speaks what Krsna speaks and so-called gurus have to jog the brain to give answers.
