Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Dear All Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I have been following these different posts on this subject and have benefited by doing so. Our Madana-mohana Prabhu has explain his position very lucidly, and ask us to respond. My question concerns number 10 here and especially the last sentence concerning "emergency spots". > 10. It could be greatly enhanced and accelerated by cooperation with the > government, welfare organizations and businessmen if organized properly > and conducted in a rational, reliable, intelligent and socially relevant > manner. This includes programs in emergency spots. I can't speak with great authority on this point but I think the GBC body may have to in order to give a final verdict because of what Srila Prabhupada's says in this letter to Jayapataka Maharaja which follows: ========================================================================== Regarding food distribution, they may come to take at our Temple. With travelling sankirtana we can distribute wherever we go, but not to the emergency spot, like that. --letter to Jayapataka Swami, 09/28/76 ("After we did local flood relief and food distribution we found it to be quite effective in various ways. I wrote Srila Prabhupada whether we could go to similar relief to the Bay of Bengal Coast if there was a cyclone (hurricane type storm) or similar crisis. Srila Prabhupada gave the above reply." --letter to Priyavrata Dasa from Jayapataka Swami, 12/12/94) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
