Very interesting analysis, Anantarupa Prabhu. I support it 100%.

That maybe so,as you nicely pointed out, but I personally believe that if

there is genuine repentance and strong and active desires and actions to

rectify past and present wrong behaviors and actions, Lord Krsna will

personally protect and save His sincere devotee.

 

On the other hand, if such thoughtful and honest repentance is still

lacking, as Sri Rama Prabhu has so nicely pointed out in a previous text,

if the leaders are still thinking that they are paramahamsas: above all

suspicions, and are still not ready to humbly cooperate with their

godbrothers and senior disciples, in this case Lord Krishna may choose to

send them to jail, or to stop all preaching activities, until things are

properly acknowledged, rectified, and conducted in the proper way, according

to the Lord's own desire.

 

So let's see what Krsna really wants. That will be very interesting to see.

 

The blind leaders must, before anything else, understand the Supreme

Personality of Godhead and then, they should implement God's kingdom on

earth. Such a kingdom, called Rama-rajya, will be able to facilitate the

awakening of divine consciousness among the mass of people. (From SB 1.13.47

Prabhupada's purport in French) Please excuse me if you think my translation

is not accurate. I am simply a student in English. You can also check with

the sanskrit that might help.

 

Your servant In Srila Prabhupada's mission,

 

Krsna-kirtana dasi.
