He did speak of going to Gita Nagari to teach them to live off the land. Personaly I feel they needed to learn a lot more about surrender, as we never actualy got varnasrama off the ground, and now practicaly no one wants to do it. > Yes, Prabhupada said he enjoyed the association of his disciples and wished to stay with them, but Krsna had other plans. So I guess in that case we can blame Krsna. In any event, I find myself disagreeing with the idea 'no one wants to do it.' I'd propose that many devotees are beginning to realize that becoming KC or establishing Vedic culture in general is a bit more involving that becoming a KC cheerleader. > > The guru has not potency beyond that. > > By Krsna's mercy you get guru. And the instructions of the guru come in many forms, as experienced by Bivamangala Thakur and that king M. Gosh mentioned from the 11th canto. In other words, the influence of the guru isn't limited to his physical presence, as the folks on that india conference are so fond of saying. ys, Sthita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
