My dear Mahanidhi prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I rather think that you are reading into my comments things that you see but

I never said nor intended. I have already stated very clearly that provided

the bhoga is properly offered to Krsna and becomes prasadam then its

distribution to any class of man is always beneficial for all involved even

if it is done only to the materially poor. I repeat what Srila Prabhupada

said, for a sannyasi the distribution of prasadam to the poor is his duty --

but being poor means anyone who doesn't have contact with Krsna. That means

materially poor and materially rich both alike.

 

Whatever I have said does not exclude or contradict the very relevent

statements quoted from our previous acaryas.

 

If you know how to connect things to Krsna then there will be no

contradictions. If you don't, then you will see things in terms of 'for and

against'.

 

Your humble servant,

Hari-sauri dasa
