  • 9 July 77 was a temporary order till recovery , read Prabhupada’s own words. (18 Oct 1977, Room Conversation: I stop for the time being. This initiation. I have deputed my disciple and if by Krishna’s grace I recover from this condition, then I shall begin again.)
    He deputed his disciples till his health recovery, it was not post dissapearance.
