That we are to emphasize 'Krishnatarian' instead of vegetarian

must always be our main business and for the most part this has

always has been the case in ISKCON. The rebellion against

McDonalds and others is coming without our direct involvement.

>From our directly preaching love of Krishna, as you pointed out

above, the results of dharma, artha, kama,and moksa, are side

effects and sometimes favourable for bringing people to

understand the highest platform of love of God.

 

If the rebellion against McDonalds increases a hundredfold

worldwide it will certainly make our mission of spreading love

of God easier without our direct involvement in anything other

than that, as you pointed out.
