I never said that Visnupada wanted devotees to move outside,

did I? On the contrary, he did not want it. Maybe you should go

back and read my text again. He wanted to introduce varnasrama

within the ISKCON framework, but he did not get support for

his ideas. This spring he made a "now or never" effort.

But have you heard anything about that effort? No, the only

thing we hear is about his so called "disease".

 

Actually, at least I find

it interesting that when he wanted to do this super-effort to

implement varnasrama, the reports are that he is "very"

sick, not to his senses, and somehow or other is just

got swept away under the carpet. So convenient, now we

can say that actually, he was sick even before, and easily

say that all his ideas about varnasrama was just maya.

You got it all wrong. It is not Visnupada who was preaching that. Still

now it is beeing preached.

Sri Visnupada said what he thought about ISKCON even before that,

i heard it with my own ears. It is on tape (but conveniently censored).

 

Actually, I think he was completely disguisted by all the resistance

towards implementation of Varnasrama. Without varnasrama, Sri

Visnupada did not see any future with ISKCON. He could see it

falling to pieces, he just did not wait to sink with the sinking ship.
