Rama or Yudhisthira have performed well because there was varnasrham of

course. When the modes deteriorate, then even great devotees like Arjuna or

Pariksit could not do much. Both have to be there, varnasram and great

devotees, for a good synergy. When Prabhupada came to America he had great

success because of his determination and because the social climat was ripe

for his preaching. See if nowadays great devotees, like Narayan Mj for example

or any other, could fill up temples with new devotees in America?

Ø varnasrama was FIFTY PER CENT of his mission?

 

You will never find that statement anywere in his tapes, books or private

conversations with at least two different devotees or two devotees together

who have heard that. It is difficult to base an argumentation with such heavy

insistence like you are doing.

There is a difference between Dwarka, 5000 years ago, and the year 2000 A.C.

You should put things in perspective when you give an example.

Ø Srila Prabhupada want varnasrama in ISKCON,

 

Why shall we always want to impose our view by force ? Isn't Krsna so

beautifull that people will love us even if they don't agree with us? Why

can't we just talk like brothers and sisters? Why even amongts ourselves shall

we be so rude?
