So, I'll paste it below for you. Maharaja sent the same post today, on

Prabhupada Disciples, without taking in consideration the replies. And of

course, he can go into the folio and find quotes that will reinforce his

fondamentalists views. But I don't think it is enough for a spiritual leader

like him to quote Srila Prabhupada the way fondamentalists do. His has to

enounce also a philosophy that will make us understand how Caitanya

Mahaprabhu's message can be regarded by the media, intellectuals, artists and

the masses, -and devotees- as an alternative to the present demonic world. Do

you think we can do something without their sympathy? Maybe Maharaja don't

care for that; his ideas are maybe more relevant or more perfect. Ok, but

let's hear them instead of just pasting some quotes!

Mukta Purusa Prabhu asks:

> What is wrong if the devotees go to the poor areas and distribute

> Prasadam.?

 

Jayadvaita Swami answered:

"So far prasada distribution, . . . do not go to poor areas, this is not our

philosophy."

--Srila Prabhupada, letter to Giriraja, 15 May 72

 

Offense 3: "To disobey the orders of the spiritual master."

 

I hope this answers the question. Hare Krsna.
