Rasaraja Prabhu, your words are well said. The fact is nowardays, people

don't even care of committing offenses or what are offences. They are so

caught-up in their little world of so-called academia or schorlarship that

they dare to cast aspersions on the teachings of the acaryas. I think the

hell for those people are yet to be created.

just an observation...can we move on....?

 

Now that you have all pummeled(beaten) this devotee into the

ground...has anyone here tried to lovingly correct? Our family business

is to uplift others. In the name of carrying the banner of parampara we

become part of a greater offense...undermining those around us.

 

Let us at least try to follow Srila Prabhupada's example (if need be)

of 'correction' plus the 'nourishment' of others...then our words will

truly guide and allow 'more' to ride within the boundaries of his(our)

Iskcon.

 

your servant,

Bhaktisiddhanta Swami
