1/10
The real problem with
Rtvikism is inconstancy when accepting and rejecting
proofs:
1. Rtviks usually only accept the official July 9th letter written by
Tamal
and
authorized
by Prabhupada. They normall acce t this

and ONLY this as the
basis of their doctrine. They reject all other points made in
conversations that lead up to this letter and also that followed this letter. Thus they maintain that on the
basis
of
this
one
letter
and the one word in it used b Tamal i.e.

"henceforward" that a
permanent eternal system of Rtvikism is set up by it.
2. But to be consistent with this doctrine above one has to admit that no other persons
were
named
to
be
Rtvik-acharyas in this letter. So unless we

accept some other
proofs or conversations there can be no increasing
the number of Rtvik-acharyas. Since all the 11 persons actually mentioned in the letter have gone on to make

Rtvik-acharyas for
Srila Prabhupada at the present time. Thus the Rtvik-acharya
system as presented in this letter is defunct due to the actions of the ONLY 11 Rtvik-acharyas authorized to
perform
it.
3. If however Ritvik

proponents say that
more Rtvik-acharyas can be authorized in addition to the 11
named in the letter then they must give some proof for that. The proof is not in the letter. The proof can
only
be
had
by
accepting other conversations like the

conversation. OK, but Rtivks don't want to accept anything but the
letter, they specially do not want to accept other points from the May 28th conversation because in the
conversation
Prabhupada clearly ex lains that the

they ONLY accept the July 9th Letter and that system is now defunct because of the non-action as Rtviks of
