Sorry, prabhu. My time has run out--vacation is over. It's back to work now.

It's been "far out" sparring in philosophical karate with you, but all such

fun must eventually come to an end.

Que sera sera!

If we chant Hare Krsna and follow the rules and regs, one day the truth of

all such apparent contradictions will be revealed to us.

Or it may instead be knowledge misperceived by others to be ignorance. As we

know, in Kali-yuga everything is topsy-turvy. Like this "vacation" of mine

was in many ways more work than my normal work! (I mean, having to deal with

all the ridiculous implications, allegations, aggravations, accusations,

defamations, speculations, misinterpretations, disconfigurations, etc.)

Vacation? Tarnation!

Oh, but please do have compassion and mercy upon the blankety-blank

misogynists. For they are indeed the most fallen class of men in this age.

Whoever they are and wherever they may lurk, please do bestow the

transcendental treasure of devotional service upon each and every last one

them. Please do this, prabhu, as you are "Mahanidhi Dasa," servant of the

Great Oocean of Transcendental Qualities, and indeed "Prema Bhakti" as well!

 

My heartfelt best wishes to all for your ever-increasing Krsna consciousness

in this new year/century/millennium.

 

Peace, love, happiness, and Hare Krsna to all!
