The article in question begins:

With such an absolutely unequivocal disclaimer, I don't see why the question of

whether the article "somewhat reflects ISKCON's official view" should even

arise.

 

And if we are still somehow looking for a disclaimer, the article goes on to

say,

 

>And with that disclaimer. . .

 

I believe this makes things eminently clear: The article represents the views

of the author alone, NOT the official (or even unofficial) views of ISKCON.

 

Hare Krsna.
