There is certainly truth to the idea that bhakti yoga is not meant to cater to

the lowest common denominator. At the same time, our leaders should try to

avoid being criticized for living in ivory towers aloof from the concerns of

the more ordinary devotees.

 

One important significance of Srila Prabhupada's books is that the majority of

his followers feel that reading them is a way to intimately associate with our

founder/acarya. To change the words, no matter how well intentioned, is not a

light affair. To dismiss criticism of one's service as something resulting

from the misguided sentiments of others only seems to excaberate the

situation.
