Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thank you. I also heard such explanations. Although from Srila Prabhupada's quotes it seems clear, that he wanted 50% of monetary income. I know that this is a high goal, and that it is more practical to go for 50% of what is left, after bills are paid. Is this reduced rule accepted in UK as standard for membership? And arround the world, are devotees following any version of 50% rule? Is 50% anywhere requested as standard for membership in ISKCON? Is there any GBC laws in this line?
