Thank you Balarama for your opinion. I should first define briefly what is ethic. It is a "science" -I should better say a philosophy- by which we can appreciate good actions and motives so that society can progress in harmony; in our case BTG. I hope it is not too simple. The problem is how do you define "a very very very very few who are actually pure"? For example there is Narayana Maharaja; some say he is pure and some say he is kind of ... whatever. Another example: Gour Govinda Maharaja. There was some dispute with him and the GBC. Iskcon declared that ethic was to follow the decision lay out by the GBC not by an individual. I think the GBC is right in principle. And Srila Prabhupada has established it this way. Now we have to decide of course if they have made an ethical application or not. That is part of the discussion although not directly related to the article in question I hope I am not stepping too hard on your toes. I’m sure that you don't even feel it when that happens.
