Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Any way I think we're beating(oops) {:-) a dead now. It was a pleasant discussion on why Srila Prabhupada SOMETIMES quoted this verse and it started out with the warning that we don't want to get into some big controversy. From my point it sounds like everyone's speaking the same in different languages. There was some good humor and interesting quotes. Now it's taking the wrong turn. And one last comment from me. I discussed the word taran with my Pujari from Vrinda Kunda, Bhagwat Prasad, as old hindi is somewhat like Brijbhasha. Any way he said it can also have the connotation of strict discipline which is something Srila Prabhupada always discussed. So let's leave it while we're still all friends.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 There are different levels of "beating". When someone else distributes more books, we say, "he beat me". That kind of "beating is OK. The strong should protect the weak. Srila Prabhupada also said the anyone who beats a child "should be hanged".
