This comment is actually in reference to Nitai das, Srila

Prabhupada's former servant, who had just rejected Srila Prabhupada as his

guru and left ISKCON. It is not in reference to the original topic of this

thread which is about people who 'retire' to Vrindavana to beg and become

'great devotees' but leave their life's earnings to wife and family.

 

Your humble servant,

Hari-sauri dasa
