Like, from the above we may calculate that: 100'000'000 uninitiated = 1 sannayasin, or: 1'000'000 brahmacaris = 1 sannyasin ---- So, in ISKCON we got cca 100 sannyasis, and that is the equivalent to 10'000'000'000 bhaktas, or 100'000'000 brahmacaris, or 1'000'000 grhastas... I just forgot, what did it say, equal in term of *what*??? In advancement in Krsna consciousness, or is it in something else? ys mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
