Even in forest ashrama's, some organization is required. We don't need a Vedic super-hero to deal with every little thing. In my mind, ISKCON is primarily a brahminical institution in that it is meant to teach human society the art of Krsna consciousness. Even if we find ourselves playing various varnic roles, as devotees it is often motivated by a desire to help others become KC. > > I think its best to apreciate the aproach on vad of those with ksatriya > nature in the same way as those do on the aproach of the brahmanas. > That would be a nice mood in starting varnasrama, a social structure wich consists of four orders with equal rights and dutys in serving the society and the Lord, thats my opinion. > Sure, that is our goal -- no matter what one's material propensities may be, we all have an equal opportunity to become KC based on our sincerity. ys, Sthita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
