Guest guest Posted July 18, 1999 Report Share Posted July 18, 1999 Divorce and remarriage seem to be big problems in our society today. It does not seem to me that discussing these issues is "splitting hairs". Chanting Hare Krishna is the ultimate solution, and if we want to to achieve perfection in that we need a social system. Ameyatma Prabhu is soberly presenting information relevant to this need in our society. Unfortunately, rather than discussing the philosophy and the information presented, some devotees have been sending emotional "knee jerk" ad hominim attacks. They have accused Ameyatma Prabhu of improper thoughts as if they know what he is thinking. Those who are in this critical mood also seem to be very much in the "holier than thou" self righteous mood also. This is not vaisnava behaviour. If someone wants to expose someone's hypocracy or faults, let them discuss the person's actions. Give up the amateur mind reading and self righteousness then let's get down to the real business of trying to understand the issues presented according to Guru, Sadhu and Sastra as well as Time, Place and Circumstance.
