ISKCON HAS BEEN FORMED FOR THIS PURPOSE

[Guest guest]

Hari bol, Prabhu.

 

Namaste. Jaya Prabhupada!

 

Its nice to hear of your recent participation in ISKCON. I wish you the

best.

 

As for your opinions, I respectfully disagree with most of them.

 

> 1. First Proposal of Varnasrama by Ramanada Raya. - Lord Caitanya rejects.

 

Please read Srila Prabhupada's comments on this long-standing

mISKCONception:

 

"Satsvarupa: Lord Caitanya, when Ramananda Raya brought this up He said it

was not possible in this age to introduce this.

Prabhupada: Yes. He said it was not possible. Iha bahya. Caitanya

Mahaprabhu was interested only on the spiritual platform. He had no idea of

material side. He rejected material side.

Satsvarupa: But don't we do that also?

Prabhupada: No. Our position is different. We are trying to implement Krsna

consciousness in everything."

 

"NO OUR POSITION IS DIFFERENT". Prabhupada goes on and on for quite some

time detailing the need for varnasrama within ISKCON and everywhere for

everyone. Was he contradicting Lord Caitanya? I think not.

 

 

 

You have added your interpretation of what the other 50% of Srila

Prabhupada's mission was as follows:

 

> 50% of the job was done by Srila Prabupada. He established 108 temples,

> started a few farm communities, some schools (Gurukulas), Published and

> distributed books, made some devotees etc,, .

 

> What he meant was the other 50% of the job we have to do. (The first 50%

> he had established temples). That is we need *devotee* congegations.

 

> and preach to the extant possible. That is where is the remaining 50% of

> the job. Atleast if all our life members take up devotional service, chant

> 16 rounds, rise early and attend mangalarati at the temple or at home then

> the remaining 50% of the job is completed.

 

 

Nice sentiment but really just speculation and misinterpretation of the

facts. Don't let the present ISKCON mal-administration and so-called leaders

take your fresh beginning down a long dark path of chaos as they have

mis-lead so many others with similar sentiment and failure to fulfill the

direct orders of the spiritual master: Prabhupada very clearly, without any

other things stated, said that the other 50% of his mission, yet to be even

attempted by his so-called followers for 26 years, is VARNASRAMA.

 

Please do not interpret the words of Srila Prabhupada. They require no

further clarification.

 

Krsne matir astu.
