There is much truth in what you are saying, still I might ask what is the duty of a ISKCON leader when such kind of controversies about social affairs and problems apear in our society, to just stay out of it and exersize ones natural right of human liberty, which one is by God's law suppose to exercise toward liberation by keeping ones hearing, reading and speaking fixed upon transcendental topics, or also get involved in it and try to solve the problems? What is the right understanding of Krsna conscious leadership? ys, Harsi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
