Sorry to put you thru that again, Mataji. But although we cannot deny the veracity of the quotes you have provided, quotes stating quite the opposite are also extant and have been posted to these same conferences in recent weeks. May I humbly suggest that you read the appropriate sections of "Vaisnavism and Social Responsibility" on <www.ghqd.org> for a thorough discussion of this topic. --gkdas ..
