Vyapaka prabhu,

 

It simply crushes me to see a good devotee like you use this kind of language.

This is just not the kind of language that should be used in public, especially

not on a devotee conference. You are not this kind of person. I can't

understand why you are doing this.

 

For the rest of you, I'm very sorry for you if this is your first exposure to

Vyapaka prabhu. It completely counteracts the kind of devotee he really is.

Besides all the other service he has done for Srila Prabhupada, I just want to

say that for 4 or 5 years he worked very hard to help publish the Hare Krsna

Rural Life. His expertise is in organic farming, which he has a degree from

McGill University to support, but he cheerfully added the role of layout person

and subscription manager to that role. He wrote numerous informative articles

and solicited contributions from other expert devotees to help make a valuable

publication for our farm devotees.

 

He really should not be accused of being anti-woman. He worked with me and

also

encouraged my daughter to provide Krsna conscious art for HKRL, which was an

important contribution to her personal spiritual life, and which has given her

the impetus to push on in the same line.

 

Normally, he is a witty and good humored devotee, and very long-suffering. If

he seems grouchy in the current context, please overlook it. He and his wife

are working hard to develop an organic farm in Canada and should have lots to

contribute to devotees. I hope that the present conflict will not be escalated

to the point where we lose the valuable knowledge they have to offer to our

farmers.

 

your servant,

 

Hare Krsna dasi
