Kishor died, Bhakti-siddhanta got word of it and
claimed his body saying he was his only disciple. No
one else there had been initiated by him to dispute
my brother’s claim, and Gaur Kishor was in no position
to object.
“Bhakti-siddhanta also said Gaur Kishor was a
disciple of Bhaktivinode Thakur. Gaur Kishor studied
under Bhaktivinode, but was initiated in another disciplic
succession. Then, Jagannath Das Babaji was said
to have been Bhaktivinode's guru. Actually, he was
his devotional guide, babaji guru, and a close friend
and associate. Bipin Bihari Goswami was Bhaktivinode's
real initiator guru.
“Bipin Bihari was in the line of disciplic succession
from Sri Jahnava Devi, the consort of Nityanand
Avadhut. Jahnava Devi passed the teachings on
to her adopted son, Rama-chandra, who passed them
on through the line of succession, which included a
number of other women--not the line of well known
male saints that Bhaktisiddhanta made up.”
