You MUST Know his Qualifications
BY: MAHESH RAJA

Feb 3, USA (SUN) — In response to my article, "Tattva-darsinah, I got some interesting questions from Mahavidya prabhu:

"My thanks to Mahesh Raja prabhu for the quotes contained in his article, "Tattva-darsinah
Some of my further thoughts on Mahesh Raja prabhu's comments:
Firstly,
Am I to understand that this esoteric or mystical qualification is the criteria in deciding who is or who is not a bona fide guru?
Then...
How does one validate if in fact someone has "seen" or "not seen" God?
After all ...
In this, or any other, day and age people can and do cheat.
Why should I believe someone if they tell me they "see" or have "seen" God?
Some folk even claim they are God.
Someone may genuinely have the ability to directly speak with the Deity,
How am I to tell?
What are the criteria?"

Lets address these points:

Srila Prabhupada has made it very easy to understand who is a cheater. He is asking us to be intelligent enough. Intelligent enough for what? The devotee has to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kanistha-adhikari, madhyama-adhikari and uttama-adhikari.

Srila Prabhupada does NOT say the devotee has to reach Uttama adhikari status first before he can understand who is a Uddhama adhikari and who is not.

Nectar of Instruction 5:

In this verse Srila Rupa Gosvami advises the devotee to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kanistha-adhikari, madhyama-adhikari and uttama-adhikari.

Furthermore, Srila Prabhupada gives the example of purchasing gold and compares it with Guru, and besides this the QUALIFIATION is a MUST. We already know that Srila Prabhupada's instructions on accepting Spiritual master is Uttama Adhikari.

Laws of Nature 1 God and The Law of Karma

If you want to purchase gold, you must have at least some preliminary knowledge of what gold is.

Of course, first of all you must select who will be your spiritual master. You MUST know his qualifications. If you want to purchase gold, you must at least know where gold is available. If you are so foolish that you go to a butcher shop to buy diamonds or gold, then you'll be cheated. Similarly, if out of ignorance you approach the wrong person for spiritual guidance, you'll be cheated.

So, finding a bona fide guru requires intelligence and sincerity. If you are serious about understanding the goal of life, spiritual knowledge, then Krsna will help you. He is situated in everyone's heart, and he understands when you are sincerely seeking the Absolute Truth. Then He gives direction: "Go to this person." Krsna is already giving direction in every respect. We want to do so many things, and Krsna is giving us the facility. As He says in the Bhagavad-gita [18.61],

īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati
bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni
yantrārūḍhāni māyayā

As the Supersoul in the heart, Krsna is giving facilities to all living entities in their wanderings throughout the various species. But when one becomes very eager to understand Krsna, or God, He is glad to give instruction: "Go to such-and-such person and submissively inquire from him. You'll be enlightened." Guru-krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija: By the mercy of the spiritual master and Krsna one can make spiritual advancement. One must simply be sincere.

I have mentioned in my article, "The Rescuer Must be Liberated" that the position of Diksa Guru in ISKCON is Srila Prabhupada, and given the intelligence we can see that the bogus GBC voted conditioned soul gurus and their imbecile lackeys will never be able to answer the following TWO questions:

1) EXACTLY when did Srila Prabhupada EVER state that he has STOPPED giving DIKSA at Madhyama Adhikari stage to the countless generations of devotees still to come? (Refer to my article).

2) Since NO ORDER from Srila Prabhupada was EVER given that they ARE Acarya (Uttama Adhikari) HOW can they give DIKSA? I am NOT talking of FORMALITY of initiation.

So this is intelligence. Next - common sense all these so-called gurus have you ever had a sip of their footbath "juice"? Maybe you could try -- I will gladly donate a basin------- for you to vomit in. I doubt you will do this prabhu. ANYONE sincere and intelligent KNOWS these are bogus conditioned soul opportunist imitation uttama adhikaris who want profit and adoration. In contrast, Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet are worshipped.

Further evidence of bogus gurus? Lets look at Siva, Krsna, Guru, and Sisya" in Dandavats. In this article is particular reference to Srimad Bhagavatam 10.2.18. Notice how Giriraja Maharaj is juggling with words.

"So even though we might not be so qualified as gurus and sisyas, as instructors and students, the process itself has sufficient potency, as long as it is kept pure, to awaken love of Godhead."

What a load of rubbish!

Why is there very strong emphasis in Srila Prabhupada's books on Uttama adhikari (Maha-bhagavata)? (See references here)

The passage is TRANSPARENT. Anyone with slight common sense can see HOW Diksa takes place. Srila Prabhupada is that Maha-bhagavat Guru who CAN deliver Krsna in our heart.

We all know Paramatma (Supersoul) is in the heart of Vasudeva and Devaki as well as all of us -- so why was the word transferred used with the very strong emphasis - "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."

Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.2.18 - Prayers by the Demigods for Lord Krsna in the Womb

TRANSLATION
Thereafter, accompanied by plenary expansions, the fully opulent Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is all-auspicious for the entire universe, was transferred from the mind of Vasudeva to the mind of Devaki. Devaki, having thus been initiated by Vasudeva, became beautiful by carrying Lord Krsna, the original consciousness for everyone, the cause of all causes, within the core of her heart, just as the east becomes beautiful by carrying the rising moon.

PURPORT
As indicated here by the word manastah, the Supreme Personality of Godhead was transferred from the core of Vasudeva's mind or heart to the core of the heart of Devaki. We should note carefully that the Lord was transferred to Devaki not by the ordinary way for a human being, but by diksa, initiation. Thus the importance of initiation is mentioned here. 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.
