Are they not completely blind? Damana Krishna Prabhu, the Ritviks have no answers to all the points you made except construing what you did say and then vigorously attacking what you didn't say. The Ritviks do this repeatedly. They don't want to hear what we say because it contradicts their man-made agenda. Instead they "make-up" what they would have liked us to have said and then attack that. They "create" a straw man out of your point and then beat the hell out of it as if it is YOUR straw man. So instead of attacking your point they are beating their own straw man while we smash THEIR straw man out of frustration or just sit back and laugh. Have a "smashing" day with the Ritviks. In summary the Ritviks keep creating lots and lots of straw men and then say we created them, and we say they created them, and then we both keep smashing the same straw man we both disown but was actually created by the Ritviks, and it all has nothing to do with the argument at hand!!! Actually this is the Ritviks' tactic: They want to wear us down with silly circular arguments until they drive us mad, and then to keep them quite we might give them some space in ISKCON which would be like piercing a hole in ISKCON's huge boat. This is their tactic. And if we give in the ISKCON ship would sink somewhere down the line pretty fast. So we have to keep ritvikism out completely. As the GBC concluded, ritvikism is a dangerous and devious concoction. Since we can't ignore the hole the Ritviks are trying to put in the ISKCON ship, lets play the game with them. See it as an exercise to defeat mayavadaism, which is what ritvikism is in as much as they ALWAYS try to cover clear direct instructions with shady indirect meanings and interpretations. Srila Prabhupada would like to smash these kind of false mayavadi arguments, so we are not wrong in having a smashing day with the Ritviks, since ritvikism is on par with mayavada philosophy. So everyone pile in there and excercise your intellects untiringly by driving ritvik mayavadism out of Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON. Hare Krishna! ys ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
