To bad for your third attempt to prove how Srila Prabhupada is holding up all Indian couples as role models. Well, good that you are finally starting to be aware of how impossible task it is, that Madhusudani's challange to you. > things have changed in India since Srila Prabhuapada has been here, so now > how do you want to view the statement, 85% of the people? 80%? If "things have changed", as you said it, then a 25-years old statement about the social situation in India is relative, isn't? That's basically what I am saying, and that's basically what you are confirming here. We are agreeing, can't you see it? > > >It's nice to read > >what he said and understand that his lasting message to us was to strive > >for a peieceful marriage and without divorce. > > > Yes, I agree with you here. But in the name of taking Srila Prabhupada's > words as relative, and no longer applicable today, you miss out on seeing > good examples. To make it straight, Srila Prabhupada's above mentioned message in his quote is certainly aplicable for all times, as I said it already. But his observation of the social situation of 25-years ago, may or may not be so. It's relative. We got to see what's happaning nowadays, or in any pint in some future, and then judge for ourselves. Sure, we could then aslo compare it with some quote of Prabhupada. Just as you yourself have done it here by your own statement: > The above quote by Srila Prabhupada is still quite true. That's quite relative, isn't it? Well, you are findig out that it's "still quite true". Perhaps. Perhaps not. That much true, or that much not true.. Personally, I have no interest to debate it here. It's your own judgment. As far as I am concerned, I already made my point, and you confirmed it (though unintentionally, perhaps). > > India is in a big mess, but what has caused that?

With the help of Mayadevi and Mr. Kali. We are just agreeing all along, don't we? BTW, have you know that Serbia is also in a big mess? Ya know who did it 'em. First Turks' invasion, for four hundreds of years, and then Bill Clinton. And Kosovars, of course. - Mahanidhi d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, why are you arguing? If you think yes, then you have plenty of good examples. Unless, of course, you don't want that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
