Unless, of course, you don't want that. If you have not noticed it already, I am arguing against your meaningless application of some 25-years old quote from Prabhupada that you attempted to prove with what Prabhupada is holding about the contemporary Indian society. I found that this kind of application/exploitation of SP's quotes over the decades of ISCKON, has contributed to almost a kind of a mental invalidity of (some) members. One can't almost go to a doctor and tell him if the knee is paining or not, unless "confirmed" and "evidenced" by some Prabhupada's quote from a Folio. My pointing on some of the present social mess in India was simply the part of that same point I was making. But, alas, you decided in my name, and you are stubbornly insisting on it, that I am perhaps arguing how there are not plenty of good examples in India. And hence I am to be seen as a fly that goes for the sore. As far as my point of looking upon example of "Vedic" India, I'll try to make it again: The so-called "Vedic men" in ISCKON are trying to impress the Western World how the solution of all their social problems would be in getting their women in "order", just like Indian women are. But all the world has to do is to have a look at the Indian social mess, and then laugh on such a "solution". That simple. Either it's not really the women to be blamed for all that mess in the Western World and ISCKON (a revolutionary idea, isn't it?), or the "formula" doesn't work at al. - Mahanidhi d.

And also, it's a bigger, or shall we say "unneccessary", effort to visit someone who's less closer to you, right? Besides, God anyway visits who deserves him only. That's Hindus, only. However, apparently Krsna appears "whenever and wherever there is a predominant rise of irreligion..." He says so. And, yes, there must be also the reason, you are right: "To deliver pious and to annihilate the miscreants as well as to reestablish the principles of religion". Krsna is saying, for those who might not know yet. It seems like a whole package... Or shall we understand that only "pious" is what refers to "her people" only? And the rest to the West. - Mahanidhi d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
