This deep rooted aversion to brahmancari training is most curious. Not that somehow one has to get a material carear together before cultivating his natural devotional principles. In everything, there is a balance. Balance does not mean replacing one extreme with another extreme. I am sorry, Janesh, for disagreeing with you, but ol' Tomar says she's backing me up on this one. ys, Sthita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
