Yes, we are not surprised by your response Janesvara Prabhu, but I have to

say that I also have remained consistent in my position since the last time

you and Hari Sauri drew me into this debate.

 

I am all in favor of establishing varnasrama-dharma, but my contention is,

in order to do that properly, we need to have a Krsna conscious executive

head of state. Varnasrama-dharma is meant to operate in the whole society,

and can't be properly established in a volunteer orginization like ISKCON.

 

The executive head must be willing and able to enforce varnasrama-dharma and

be willing and able to inflict punishment on those who contravene its

principles. This trained up executive head of state is therefore the pivot

and emblem of varnasrama-dharma, the "sine qua non".

 

I am currently preaching in the nation state of Mauritius where the idea of

such a executive head of state is not so far fetch. Please wish us well in

our attempt to establish such an ideal state based on the priciples of daivi

varnasrama-dharma.
