I'm sure nobody is trying to find excuses for his beating of women. The point is, as I see it, that Srila Prabhupada spoke of this things and maybe it is wise to understand, and not just cut it away. We cannot take just parts of Srila Prabhupada, that fit our sentiments, and throw away things that hurt our sentiments. We cannot just speak of non-violence and compassion, without properly understanding what that is. If we just take our conditioned idea of non-violence, then we may not be in proper understanding. We should accept understanding from Srila Prabhupada, is it? ===== So his business is to give protection to the citizens. So it may be sometimes by killing others, he gives protection. We have discussed many times the violence and nonviolence. Non... These are contradictory terms, but when these two contradictory things are found in saintly persons, we must know they are all the same, absolute. >>> Ref.
