You see, that framework which you are so proud of, Srila Prabhupad himself called an experiment. Here's the quote verbatim: "I am concerned that the gurukula experiment come out nicely. These children are the future of our society..." (April 11, 1973). So, if an experiment fails, then it wasn't good. Ys. Sraddha dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 1999 Report Share Posted December 14, 1999 "if men think these women are lusty after them, it is self flaterry or often illusion..." a very important popint, something I witnessed again and again among "brahmacaris" here in Germany, unfortunately now most of the have taken sannyasa without going through the grhasta asrama - or worse: treated the wife so badly that she left the movement. (of course it was all HER fault anyway...) ys madanalasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
