Sure. I always thought so, whenever HH Jayapataka Maharaja

would come and get all the interesting devotes into a swimming

pool to play a handball there, that he and everybody else were

gambling and breaking the rehulative principles.

 

The people there "out" think we are zombies. Don't know why. I

guess they simply don't get it why having young (and less young)

people exercising some kind of a sport is classified by the memebers

of Hare Krsna sect to be amongst sinful activities. I guess we

ourselves got no idea on that either. To bloop or not to bloop, the

question is now... I mean, to kick a ball or not to kick a ball..

Well, we can safely conclude that we are not sporting with Krsna

at the moment, but with our common sense and clear reasoning.
