Excuse me, but it seems to me that Radha-Krishna prabhu has a quite solid background for his statements, and they don't seem like speculations to me. He has been a sannyasi and top leader in ISKCON, and knows better than basically anyone else on this conferance how things are done "on the top" in ISKCON. If he questions the reasoning behind the re-editing of the Gita, I at least find it worth while to listen to his arguments, instead of starting to labelling him as an atheist... Ys Jkd If he finds the re-editing of the Gita questionable, and backs that up with proper arguments and reasoning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
