Yasodanandana dasa Letter to Tamal Krsna Goswami, Part Three

Prabhupada instructed the entire GBC body to manage the society not this division of zones among the 11 ach[arya] gurus with an artificial claim of acaryaship. Not this zone thru zone.

Prabhupada never inst[ructed] this zonal acarya business. You gentlemen may have arr[anged](?) that but it is unsupported by evidence from HDG books or instructions. The actual core instruction is "No more changes." The GBC manage the entire society. The sannya[sis] temple presidents, & devotees work together. Some of you now can initiate newcomers (Also we show that HDG said that we can all do that not just 11) and we should pr[each] together, and who is acarya – acaryas will naturally come. Not by formalized zones or big puja (we never discussed this prior to HDG disappear[ance].) [emphasis added]

Why you stalwart vaishnavas and GBCs cannot understand this and give up these misconceptions is baffling to me. It seems as though every[one] is now being controlled by moha-antan(?) inst[ruction] of prema-antan(?).

Apa-siddhantas in the name of preaching

Some of our GBC men have said to Vais[navas] or I – do not think what is going around & around the world. They say everything is just fine as it is!

Actually fr(?) the original apa siddha[nta] of:

    of 1) exclusive 11 successor acarya
    2) which was subsequently readjusted to 11 acaryas
    now have 11 zonal acaryas

    1) False concept of exclusive 11 chosen acaryas
    2) " [false concept of] successor acaryas
    3) only they have been chosen
    4) to justify this

It has been heard from various devotees from the various zones, various errone[ous] philosophies we oppose

1) that Prabhupada's disciples initiated by him during his manifested presence, can no longer have access to him except through one of the 11

2) that a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who received gayatri diksa on tape is now considered the disciple of the guru who gives him a new mantra like gayatri or some such

3) insisting & demand of opulent worship for our Godbro[thers] when such godbro[thers] are disciples of one of the 11 acaryas

4) G[uru] in our zone is now calling himself the Founder-acarya of his project

5) Insistence of Prabhupada's disciples that they must preach along with distri[buting] Prabhupada's books that [Prabhupada] is not the successor acarya or acaryas.

6) That the instr[ructions] of the sastra 'not to sit in and accept worship in front of one's guru is same as niti guru the same

niti ? ltr, Gaudiya Matha

and

"This cannot apply to us we are preaching
we are not cer(?) with all the rules to us"
Do we
just as it is offensive to the think that deity is made of stone
arche vishnav sid (?)

so it is offensive to think that siksa diksa is different from him ? is non-diff[erent] than his diksa & siksa

Thus to accept to accept op[ulent] worship in front of him (or beside him) in his presence is offensive. No amount of philosophical debate or justification will change this goswami vakya.
