Regarding Siddhasvarupananda, these things which you have heard are simply rumor and there is no substance. Siddhasvarupa does not want to take disciples, neither he should have disciples while I am alive. That is the process. I have never said that Siddhasvarupa is a pure devotee.* That is simply concoction. Now I am going to India in few weeks and I shall stop at Hawaii and take Siddhasvarupananda to India for training him up properly.
Hoping this meets you in good health,
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
*But every one can become a pure devotee if he has no other desire than to serve Krsna and the Spiritual Master.
