It's not "disgruntlementhood", whatever that word is, it is futility to

proceed in a misdirection. We have to at least BEGIN the process as Srila

Prabhupada prescribed. How can we be so pessimistic if we haven't even tried

it according to his prescription? It HAS to become a priority practice in

every center. Every guru has to teach it every day to every devotee.

 

 

"(CWSP) Johannesburg Oct. 16, 1975:

Harikesa: How in the beginning... Let's say you have a king...

Prabhupada: Beginning Krsna.

Harikesa: No, no. Let's say you have a king, and he is deciding this person is

worthy of...

Prabhupada: No, no. Beginning Krsna. Why don't you read Bhagavad- Gita? You

don't know?

Harikesa: No, no. Yes.

Prabhupada: What is the social arrangement? What is that?

Harikesa: That Krsna created the four orders.

Prabhupada: Yes. So you make that four orders, and then society will be in

order. But you are not taking Krsna's advice. You are manufacturing your

hellish ideas."

My duty as a ksatriya is to provide engagement and encourage people to engage

in their prescribed duties and chant the Lords holy names (Hare Krsna, etc. )

at the same time. That is the humble mission I am trying to promote through

VEDA Projects, Inc. It is only a tiny beginning.
