I cannot take any advice unless it is in accordance with the sastra.

Please list a grouping of greatest devotees in the recent Gaudiya Matha so I can look at them.

Pray to Prabhupada, chant the Holy Names and give the nice devotees on this forum (not me, I am too fallen) a chance. Perhaps we will both learn and our hearts will soften with love for Krsna.

 

Other than that I can only offer my two ears to listen in a non-judgemental fashion.

 

Also, we are both on the same page about Prabhupada...He is indeed an uttama adhikari and we should always act in accordance to His divine instructions...

 

Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!!!

does anyone know if Urmila was confirmed as a guru or not?

I don't know when the six months for the objections started. The GBC for the temple where I used to live sent me the official GBC resoluions, but I didn't see anything about Urmila there.

Ok, a nomination is made and then a six month waiting period in which we wait to see if anyone objects to the nomination.

 

So, it could be said that there is no actual "voting in of guru" but what is the difference?

Jeez, le, I don't know what they call it anymore, nor do I care that much. I guess some local committee nominates someone (for something? as something?), and the GBC have 6 months to let that person by. It's all so bureaucratic that it boggles the mind.
