Response to Jayadvaita Maharaj's recommended article

[Guest guest]

Dear Nikhilananda Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Thank you for your valuable comments.

 

I'm impressed that you stay off the internet! I'm envious.

 

Thanks again.

 

Hoping this finds you in good health,

Dear Gaura Kesava Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

>What IS the editorial policy

>of the BBTI and it's website krishna.com?

 

>Are all Srila Prabhupada's disciple's

>opinions on all subjects equally acceptable to be published by BBTI

>and/or on krishna.com?

 

Till now, Krishna.com had stuck to staff-written noncontroversial

material, so the question hadn't arisen.

 

The fact that it has now started to arise has highlighted the need to

draft some policies.

 

Meanwhile, the article in question has moved offsite. And forming

editorial policies is still a work in progress.

 

One idea we have in mind to create an area of the site where selected

contributors we believe can offer high-quality material can do more or

less whatever they like--a sort of experimental, "hard hat" area.

 

The Nama Gupta episode has shown that such an area would need to be

clearly labeled--in something like neon--to make clear precisely what

it is.

 

In any case, other work at Krishna.com has higher priority, so such

matters have for now moved to the back burners.

 

Hare Krsna.

 

Hoping this finds you in good health,

 

Your servant,

Jayadvaita Swami

Of course, we have a lot of internal ISKCON issues that need talking

about.

 

But I suspect that, every now and then, for us to take a break from

rehashing and rehashing our own internal controversies and take a shot

at addressing the concerns of the rest of the world from a Krsna

conscious point of view might not be such a bad idea. Talking to the

*rest* of the world for a change might even help solve our internal

problems.
