I am actually astounded how you can never answer the questions directly. Are

you an attorney?

Are you on the sannyasi/GBC waiting list or something? You'll fit in well I

must say because the GBC and sannyasis are not very expert at giving answers

to questions like why they haven't implemented any of Srila Prabhupada's

orders to start Varnasrama-dharma but are expert at throwing around the

aparadha word like they are not ever guilty of it themselves.

Sorry, Prabhu, but many of these DEVOTEES are my Godbrothers and disciples of

Srila Prabhupada. I think they deserve my humble listening in order to try to

understand their feelings. They are trying to explain things carefully. The

GBC seems to think themselves above everyone and will never humbly explain or

even admit their failure to address the concerns of varnasrama-dharma when it

was clearly Srila Prabhupada's order over 25 years ago.

I know hundreds of my Godbrothers who do not at all feel aloof from ISKCON,

just not at all welcome and therefore not really interested in participating.

 

"It is sometimes misunderstood that if one has to associate with persons

engaged in devotional service, he will not be able to solve the economic

problem. To answer this argument, it is described here that one has to

associate with liberated persons not directly, physically, but by

understanding, through philosophy and logic, the problems of life." S.B.

3.31.48.

 

"Sadhu-sanga, or association with a devotee, means always engaging in Krishna

consciousness by chanting the Hare Krishna mantra and by acting for

Krishna.S.B." 4.24.59

 

A member of the Krsna consciousness movement is not necessarily a

card-carrying member of ISKCON.

 

"Somehow or other, if one is attracted to Krishna, whatever he does in

devotional service is a permanent asset. Even if one falls down due to

immaturity or bad association, his devotional assets are never lost... This

Krishna consciousness movement is giving everyone a chance to engage in

devotional service for at least sometime. A little service will give one an

impetus to advance and thus make one's life successful." S.B. 5.14.43
