What I see is that ISKCON devotees are searching more significant answers

than this continuous shouting of Offense! Offense! on your side.

 

When Sati heard Daksa´s offense against Lord Shiva, she inmediately decided

to give up her body. The other way left to her was to cut Daksa´s tongue and

kill him. She did not it because Daksa was her father.

 

When Lord Caitanya went to Varanasi, Tapana Misra and Candrasekhara heard

Prakasananda Sarasvati´s offenses against Lord Caitanya. As they could not

give a better version of Lord Caitanya´s behavior, they left the place.

Prabhupada says they were kanistha adhikaris because they had not knowledge

to counteract Prakasananda Sarasvati´s arguments.

 

If you come to misinformed ISKCON forums preaching against ISKCON policies

or authorities, you´ll be rebuked, and you´ll deserve it. That´s not the

vaisnava way. The sage don´t disturb the ignorants.

 

Today I have been reading My Hearthy Blessings, the answer from Narayana

Maharaja´s to the 1996 GBC´s position paper on NM. It has changed my mind

about the whole issue. I encourage every sincere soul in ISKCON to read it,

at least to know both side´s version.

 

But other texts you mention, like Alanath Maharaja´s "Search for purity" are

not even devotional. It is "search for garbage" and nothing else.

 

Still, I have to recognize that My Hearthy Blessings is a very rich text. It

deserves, at least, a very careful consideration.

 

So I ask my apologies to you and NM for any offense on my side, but I ask

you also to correct your approach to ISKCON mainstream followers on this

matter.
