Makhanlal prabhu,

 

I adamantly and respectfully disagree with your stand that issues such as this

one under discussion are a waste of time. On the contrary, to devalue them

could have major detrimental implications for our Movement. We are striving to

attain purity of heart, but that also necessarily means purity of behavior.

And, needless to say, purity of behavior is reflected in how we present

ourselves to the world, to the devotees, and to the Deities in the temples.

Dress codes are part of who we are and what we stand for. Whether we like it or

not, or whether we consider it a "waste of time," as you do, this issue is

indeed very much relevant.

 

Your servant, YKD (Gainesville, FL)

Dear Malati,

Dandavat pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Touche! Thanks for the spicy input! Free speach is still alive, thank God. I

wonder how much more time we are going to waste on these typese of issues? It

certainly seems that becoming fully Krishna Conscious is more important, with

respect for all living entities, regardless of species or gender.

Your servant and God brother,

Makhanlal das
