CULTURAL PREACHING

[Guest guest]

Babruji, Tattvavitji et al,

Dandavat pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for the tip re the brahmachari and the dancers. It seems Giri-Nayaka

prabhu should check what color of glasses he is wearing, as they seem to be

tinted with finding fault in sometimes faultless situations. We all make that

natural mistake, but the purpose of sadhu sangha is to monitor that tendancy.

Of course he has some strong points also, and I acknowledge his sincerity, but

the wheat must be seperated from the chaff.

 

Your eternal servant,

Makhanlal das

Well, there I go, arguing from ignorance, as usual.

Thank you for your kind words. Coming from you, they mean quite a lot to me.

I can be a bit of a smart mouth sometimes, and my sense of humor, odd as it

often is, doesn't always connect. The truth is that I've never fit in very

well anywhere.

 

The contributions of others and all the good advice given to Giri-nayaka

I think he has gotten much good advice this week and hope that he considers

it seriously. He seems like a thoughtful man, and I think his perspectives

will contribute to much vigorous discussion in the years to come.

 

Yours in service,

Babhru das
