Join us today for a critical examination in light of shastra and previous acharyas the recommended atonement of Trivikrama Swami. It also critically examines related speculative theories against atonement (Ritvikism) and speculative theories in favor of non-liberated Female Diksha Gurus (FDG). ISKCON India Scholars Board members Sridhar Srinivas Das and Krishna Kirti Das explain why according to shastra atonement requires resuming one’s former position in the varnashram institution, how the process of bhakti through the Pancharatrika Vidhi supersedes atonement recommended in smarta procedures for prayascitta (atonement). And why knowledge of shastra and teachings of previous acharyas is necessary in being able to distinguish between Prabhupada’s actions that are meant to be followed and actions that are not to be imitated.
