Dear Sraddha and Sridhari and all other Prabhus!

 

Interesting my wife and I just recently met some Oshomembers.

Afterwards I said to my wife:" Always when I met them, I found very

peaceful and senstive persons".

Then my wife (a devotee since 15 years as SKTL and TP) said," yes they are

and the hare krsnas are mostly so dogmatically and allknowing."

 

I joined Iskcon in 1993 after some years of expierence in different

groups of religion and esoteric.

Sometimes I wondered why I´m not leaving Iskcon because of so many

horrible accusations and absurd preaching towards others.

 

As a preacher and on sankirtan I met many people on esotericfares,

interfaithmeetings and so on. But never I found so hardhearted people among

them, as one can see in Iskcon or in dogmatic groups of any religion.

Every Sankirtandevotees know the heavy christians.

 

Often I heard from people who think that devotees are a bit like

sudden attackers.

 

My main questions is, where did this mentality of proud and dogmatismen

came from?

Have you ever ask yourself this question?

 

It seems to me that often good, openhearted people join and after a while

they (MANY NOT ALL) became as described.

Is this all due to cleansing, so that the black stuff comes in front for

a while or what?

I would be happy to hear some thoughts.
