Devaki Kurma Dāsa – West Bengal India: Śrīla Prabhupāda used the term henceforward at least 100 times in Vedabase. It is very obvious what henceforward means – FROM NOW ON.

So let this put the screwed up interpretations of henceforward by the GBC and their apologists to rest and allow us to understand the term henceforward when it is given in the July 9th Document to henceforward mean from now on – The ritvik Representatives of the Ācārya Initiation System shall be used in ISKCON FROM NOW ON.

How can anyone accept foolish ideas like “when these 11 die’ or ‘it means only until Śrīla Prabhupāda dies’ or any such misinterpretation by those who are either stupid or have a vested interest in refusing to accept Śrīla Prabhupāda’s use of the term to mean from now on. Vested interest means if we reject the true meaning of the term henceforward really means, I want to be a guru too.

Here are some internet searched meanings for those you are not used to ‘archaic’ English terms.
