Posting of offensive jokes on Brahmacarya

[Guest guest]

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

There is a trend that from time to time people post jokes on the Brahmacarya

conference which offend many members. If you do this I think it would be

wise to post an apology to the conference and individually to the devotees

you offended.

 

As a general policy, if you want to post a joke on this conference, send it

to me first, so I can review it, before posting it. In this way, fewer

people will be offended. If you ignore this instruction, post a joke

anyway, and offend a devotee on this conference, you will be removed.

 

I hope this is not too severe a regulation. It is just that the situation

is getting out of hand.

 

Generally the conference is meant to encourage people in the practice of

brahmacarya, both in minimizing unnecessary association with the opposite

sex, and in increasing our association with Krishna, the Personality of

Godhead, through the association of His devotees, His holy name, sastra,

Deity worship, etc. There may be a few jokes that are in keeping with this

theme and they may be allowed, but the rest will have to go.

 

I hope this meets you well in every way.

 

your servant,

Krishna-kripa das
