Mataji:

Hare Krsna, pamho, agtSP:

Srila Prabhupada never intend to transform the philosophy according to

western needs, and you have also to consider that ISKCON is not a western

movement, there are lots of India's people devotees.

 

Let the materialists operate in their own way, but we have got Vaisnavism

stand and we should train the general public to accept it and come up to

our

platform of process of doing things, not that we should reduce to their

standard.

If you believe that we have to adjust SP's philosophy to western needs you

are in a big mistake, I couldn't find a SP quotes where he explain that we

have to change our western ideal of life to Vedic form of life otherwise

Again mataji, please remember that we have to follow Srila Prabhupada's

instruction and he advise us to adopt Vedic standart of life.

So if we have to accept them as they are, why do we have to learn for regs,

to chant 16 rounds daily, to take shower 3 times a day, to be vegetarian,

etc. etc. etc.? We have to elevate us to the spiritual platform and we

cann't pretend to still stay as we western are.
