Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 India: Dancing White Elephants PL vol 3 pg 131-132 Times of India: "They (ISKCON devotees) will have to be relagated to the lower castes. It is signifigant to see one of the newly converted sadhus, Sri Gopal das, formerly Charles Poland of Chicago, stated that he was a construction worker formerly." Prabhupada's reply: "In America even the highest cultured and educated person can go to work as an ordinary construction worker because they accept the dignity of labor. So although the boy was working as a construction worker in America, he is not a sudra. But even if he is accepted as a sudra, Lord Krishna says anyone who comes to Him is eligible to be elevated to the highest position of going back home back to Godhead."
