Insults and Cussing Mothers

[Guest guest]

Guru-Krishna prabhu,

 

I agree with Mother Sraddha. You owe Mother Madhusudani Radha an apology.

Calling your mother ill names is way over the top. It's a rude departure from

the values you so fervently espouse.

 

Alas, I find myself wincing alot these days. On another COM conference,

Mother Madhusudani Radha saw fit to use the expletive 'sh*t' not once, but

twice in one message.

 

Things are not good when our mother is cussing and our brother is calling her

mad.

 

 

Your servant,

 

Pancha Tattva dasa

I'm sorry I made you wince. Truly. It makes me feel badly too when I hear

devotees talking about themselves that way. Maybe "stool" would have been

a more appropriate term to use when describing this phenomenon. As in

"What are devotees who think that they're nothing but stool going to offer

Krsna? Stool?"

 

This reminds me of a fairly recent VP offering written to one of ISKCON's

current gurus (I'm leaving out names for obvious reasons, please don't

supply them even if you know who I'm talking about). It began with "Please

accept my stool-like obeisances at your lotus feet".

 

What an image and what an "offering"!

 

Ys,

Madhusudani dasi
