All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Your above reaction is a clear sign that I have inadvertently crossed appropriate limits in this discussion. Although I really never meant to, although I tried my best to discuss only general principles and never implied any of the above points, not even mentally (God is my witness), to your person -- still, if you feel offended by me, I am begging your forgiveness for that and am stepping out of this discussion for good. Begging to remain your servant, Madana-mohan das **************************************************************************** > Your above reaction is a clear sign that I have inadvertently crossed > appropriate limits in this discussion. > > Although I really never meant to, although I tried my best to discuss only > general principles and never implied any of the above points, not even > mentally (God is my witness), to your person -- still, if you feel > offended by me, I am begging your forgiveness for that and am stepping out > of this discussion for good. Dear Madana Mohan prabhu, I can't take as an offence anything coming from you. I just felt that you're fighting some imaginary opinion. Your servant Visista dasa **************************************************************************** >Dear Madana Mohan prabhu, I can't take as an offence anything coming from >you. I just felt that you're fighting some imaginary opinion. So let it be so. I am begging forgiveness from that imaginary opinion as well, while praying it will always remain imaginary in ISKCON. :-) Your servant, Madana-mohana das **************************************************************************** Dear Maharaja's, Prabhu's and Mataji's, Pamho. AGTSP! What is above article has do with Krishna Katha?? Your agreement or disagreement with Prashadam distribution to public is separate matter. Please bare in mind the your above article has been read by many none devotees and other Gaudiya Groups who may have access to Internet. I don't think personally by doing writing above article, we gaining good names to Srila Prabhupada or Iskcon. We need to go out more on Hari-Nam (Nagar Kirtan) then sitting behind the key boards of our computers. In UK our community devotee has started Saturday morning Hari-Nam in local towns. Kindly stop spending money and time on Internet take devotees out on Hari-Nam, which will help our life and life of others, whom all of you very eagerly concern about. Thank you.
