But I take Srila Prabhupada's own statements--for example, that every word in his books was chosen very carefully because "It is document," and that Krsna would personally come and dictate purports to him, etc.--as the highest truth. On that basis, when Srila Prabhupada says, "However great a woman may be, she must be ready to carry out her husband's orders and please him in all circumstances. Then her life will be successful" I take that as perfect instruction for the kala-patra-desa in which we now happen to live. I don't mind if others may take me to be a brainwashed cult member because I believe wholly and solely in such statements as the above. They can go to hell... or heaven!--as the case may be--and I may go wherever my blind faith in such statements will take me. --gkd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
