"When I order you become guru, he become regular guru. That's all. He becomes disciple of my disciple. Just see."
"They believed that Prabhupada should remain the eternal spiritual master, with his disciples offering initiation on his behalf. This is similar to the understanding that priests and ministers witness on behalf of Jesus, the supreme spiritual teacher of Christianity. The GBC rejected the evidence that they were only ritvik gurus because Prabhupada had never spoken of a guru giving initiation posthumously. The GBC said there must be a "living guru" to connect the aspiring disciple with God through dik-sha initiation."
