Guest guest Posted September 18, 1999 Report Share Posted September 18, 1999 How is it then that in ISKCON so many were offered sannyasa and took it even if they were not, or ar not, brahmanas? Srila Prabhupada himself was offering sannyas to so many of his disciples as a means to spread Krishna consciousness movement and that was proven to be disasterous for many [the most] of his disciples who could not keep it, and they finally left the movement. Sannyasa ashram was made into the highest managerial [king] position, instead of the topmost form of a renounced life. Sannyasis were, and are still, dealing with money and women. The few real brahmanas never took sannyasa because they were not interested in a power and position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
