YOUR IDEA OF A STRONG RULER IS WARPED

"Dear" Pancha Tattva "Prabhu".

Nothing new. I am hearing this apocalyptic predilection since I learned to

read. It seems that some are just praying for it to happen. I mean there are

devotees like that.

moment South Africa is a very dangerous and unstable place.

Don't you think it is better from what it was before? You don't see the

value of my example? I am trying to be practical. I was trying to show the

power of a man... But forget it.

What is your example apart from the "cut and paste" from the SB? I am sure

you can find someone closed to your ideal, just that I can understand what

you mean. Is there anyone like that today or he exists only in SB? I am

talking about a ruler.

 

> How silly of you to think I'm advocating the rule of demons.

> Perhaps you do need therapy!

 

Sorry. Now here you could have helped. I will not go over the governments in

the world who have adopted the authoritarian way, but I hardly see what you

mean.

The first time was in Alachua. My wife and me were invited in a sad sanga.

Amongst older devotees, I was meeting for the first time, we were discussing

Prabhupada's teachings. At one point, right from the beginning, I pointed to

a detail that Prabhupada was referring too. I was saying that it did not

hold anymore truth because of the present scientific development. I am not

sure anymore, but I think it was about the child in the womb.

 

You did not know me from from Adam neither from Eve, but your reaction was

astounding. I felt so bad. Just because I said something which in your mind

was NOT RIGHT.

 

That was the first time. And this is the last.
