The way of Dharma is very subtle. It has many loopholes and is inscrutable. Excepting Svayambhuva Manu, none of Devas and sages can pronounce a judgment on Dharma." Vayu Purana 2.57.112 ''> Beyond that, the disciple may sometimes disagree with the spiritual master, ''> as is taught by the example of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta disagreeing strongly ''> with Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur on the *sannyasa/grhasta* issue in regard to ''> preaching strategy. (Now, please do not think I am comparing myself to ''> either Srila Bhaktisiddhanta or Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur!) '' ''So, the possibility of disagreeing with the spiritual master for preaching ''purposes exists. Therefore, even if Srila Prabhupada never appointed a women ''to management, we are not automatically precluded from doing so. We have the right to exercise our free will, be it either pleasing or displeasing to the Supreme Lord; so also do we have the right to reap the deserved fruits of our actions, be they divinely sweet or hellishly bitter. My dear *guru-baya*, have I spoken correctly? I remain humbly endeavoring to become your servant in service to ISKCON, Guru-Krsna das (HDG) *dharmo-rakshati rakshitaha* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
