Why did you? I'm not asking this in a challenging way (if you could see my

face or hear my voice, you would know), but I'm really wondering. So many

men, women and children were mistreated and abused when living in ISKCON

communities. Why did they accept it? Why was there no revolution?

There was a revolution. It took the form of an exodus of talent.

 

Why didn't the revolutioneries stay in ISKCON? Why bother is the larger

question.

 

What would happen is that as individuals would wake up and smell the dahl,

they

would be isolated from the still loyal rank and file, and leave one by one.

As

this group has grown so much larger now then the rank and file, and still have

some sentiment for Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, their influence has begun to

show in the temples them selves. As for those who stuck it out inside ISKCON,

humbly enduring the idiocy in order to serve Krishna, my hat is off to you and

your tolerance.
