vad cult

[Guest guest]

I woke up this morning with a plan to comment on Nikhilananda Prabhu's "vad

cult" letter. It probably would have been in my "bull in a china shop"

manner, as Mother Kusha would aptly describe it. Fortunately, I have been

spared that engagement because of a proper varnasrama-dharma practice - a

brahmana has taken the responsibility to speak intelligently and

compassionately in support of the Lord's divine social system for the true

benefit of all people.

 

Thank you Hari Sauri Prabhu. You did it with grace and far better than I

would have. I couldn't be more inspired and encouraged for our future with

brahmanas like your good self to guide us.

 

 

The following was especially profound:

 

>VAD means constant encouragement; people are positively helped to

>make advancement from whatever level they are on, incrementally improving

>to

>higher and higher levels. There is no "fall down," no sense of guilt, no

>sense of personal failure, no condemnation from one's peers. Only

>encouragement.

 

 

Now this is a new and dynamic concept for ISKCON to aspire to. It makes my

hair stand on end!

 

I remain a solid member of the VAD camp.

 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Hare Krsna.

Your fallen servant,
