He-he. I thought Prabhupadas was implying that they are all " willfully false, deceptive, or insincere person(s)" the candy is "hardly used" nowadays to cure someone, mainly sticks;-) sir...

It is amazing how he could see things and give instructions for generations to come. humbug noun 1 syn IMPOSTURE, fake, flimflam, fraud, gyp, hoax, phony, sell, sham, spoof 2 syn IMPOSTOR, fake, faker, fraud, phony, pretender 3 syn NONSENSE 2, balderdash, blatherskite, bosh, bunkum, flapdoodle, hokum, malarkey, piffle, rot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
