Actually no. AC Bhaktivedanta asked for a course and test for bestial of Bhaktivedanta title.
He did not pursue this. Later on some silly test was administered consisting of 4 questions.
So this continual claim is rendered invalid on its face.
Yet there is a bigger question. That is of qualification mentioned in the introduction to Nectar of Devotion by His Divine Grace.
It cannot be said that possessing this human body whether male or female is somehow a qualification to become guru.
Then we have seen this tortured thesis compiled by Bhakta Rupa dasa–described as tortured for two reasons:
1) it relies on selected interpretations ( this is pointed out by the author )
2) once again it never touches on the subject of sense control and spiritual realization
