Let's vote and see how many on this conf. are . Seriously, the picture portrayed is rather one-sided. I know many domac€r…s who do specific service in which temple is not interested, or cannot support, e.g. university preaching. They maintain sadhana, chant their rounds and follow the principles. I also feel living on my own helps me to concentrate on my mission. There is an advantage also - no matajis around. ys abhinanda d€sa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
