The Guru and what Prabhupada Said-second edition by Virabahu Dasa

GBC-elected initiating guru Virabahu Dasa (henceforward “VD”), has produced a book  titled The Guru and what Prabhupada Said (henceforward “GPS”). VD presents the conclusion of the entire book by quoting key parts from it in a detailed “Introduction” chapter:

“We have also reached the point of revealing to the reader the conclusion of this entire work. It is on the subject of Srila Prabhupada's succession, for which I will begin by drawing from the book itself”.
(Introduction, GPS)

Thus, by simply analysing this “conclusion” of the “entire work”, as given by VD himself in the Introduction, one can determine if the conclusion of the entire book is true or false. And this is what shall be done below. All statements made by VD in the Introduction wherein he gives this conclusion are reproduced in shaded boxes. All underlining is added, with all other emphasis reproduced from the original quotes in GPS.

The “rtvik” deception

Straight after making the statements quoted above, wherein VD states he would be “revealing” the “conclusion of this entire work” by “drawing from the book itself”, VD states the following: 

"GBC1:...Then our next question concerns initiations in the future, particularly at that time when you're no longer with us. We want to know how first and second initiation would be conducted.
S. PRABHUPADA: Yes. I shall recommend some of you."
(Meeting with GBCs, Vrndavana 5/28/77)
There is much more to this conversation, which you will read later on. Here I want to concentrate on the fact that, as far as the question itself is concerned, "We want to know how first and second initiation would be conducted," that was his unmistakeable answer, "Yes. I shall recommend some of you."”
