Knowing what happened, hence we are ought to be a bit wiser now, and we are very cautious not to repeat the same blunder. So don't forget what happened whenever you come to us with your "Acarya's self-evidency" song. Narayana Maharaja is NOT self-evident acarya in ISCKON. You are completely right in your above observation, Srila Prabhu -- it is the GBC to remain in charge in ISCKON, not some "self-evident" acaryas from here or from there. Couldn't this be a self-evident point? > > Living in such a "glass house", you still have the gall to keep throwing > stones at the Gaudiya Math? I say ISKCON has become the "Gaudiya Math" > that Prabhupada criticized. > I have pointed the historical records of Gaudiya Math to us, to be observed in order to not allow now the same scenario to happen in ISCKON. You have responded with "See the zonal-acarya system in ISCKON after Srila Prabhupada's departure". I accept your observation as the right one, to be remembered and not forgotten. And now you are accusing me for "throwing the stones at the Gaudiya Math". You can well accuse Srila Prabhupada for the same, since it was him who worn us repeatedly about what happened to GM. I guess, it is Srila das to issue the allowance to refer to Srila Prabhupada when it comes to these issues. The allowance that he would never grant. Juts forget Srila Prabhupada. And even then, I am guilty of "throwing stones on GM" just after you have said to us all for ISCKON as presently broken down and crippled institution. Congratulations, Srila prabhu. > You keep citing the example of Gaudiya Math faults, what to speak of > learning from the example of others, when are we going to learn from our > own mistakes in ISKCON? > Too implicit point. > Everything is not all black in ISKCON, to be sure.

You are kidding? "What kind of varnasrama society can we create?" ? With Narayana Maharaj NO kind of varnasrama society. He is rasika acarya. ISCKON mission is not his mission. He is the step above ISCKON and ISCKON activities and all what Srila Prabhupada taught and instructed us into. But your phrases are noted in any case. The only question is what you are hiding under. But that we must have noticed already, I suppose. - mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
