Well, it's easy to be an armchair coach, that's for sure. And I guess all of

us can be thankful that we were not in Mahaman's predicament. But I'll humbly

remind "little Sthi" that enforcement of authority doesn't end in the 5th

grade. Nor are women exempt from having to obey authority--as was drastically

shown by the examples of Prthu Maharaja with relationship to Mother Earth (he

was preparing to kill her for her disobedience) and Lord Balarama in

relationship to Mother Yamuna.

 

Had the management not exerted "strictly disciplinary action" (and why do you

say "reactionary" when all accounts describe an ongoing situation and a

deliberately planned assertion of authority?) then the CHAKRA/VNN headlines

would have instead read: "Dissident rebel Vaisnavis topple Vrindavan regime!"

(Or something like that
