SP did not approve, asking "Why should we attack one group or even one person?" Srila Bhaktisiddhanta gave the following instruction to his disciples. That they should never criticize directly or by name. He used this example, he said, if you wish to talk about a "cow," do not say directly "cow," rather "that large four legged animal with a tail that gives milk." This was his Vaishnave sensitivity and proper etiquette. yr servant, Malati dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
