Dear Guru Maharaja:

please accept my humble obeisances. All the glories to Srila

Prabhupada.

Adding a question to the point above. I understand your instruction, but

sometimes happen that is not that the devotees are looking for faults on

the others, it is just that some behaviours of devotees with lack of

commitment, make a bad look at the people from the Real face of the

Movement... for example a devotee at her Nama Hatta program had been

preaching that this movement isn't the ideal one, or devotees (initiated

ones) have no shame to fight openly in the streets with devotional clothes,

or going to the diskotequettes with their sika, or taking drugs openly,

etc... and we have to deal in some way with this because we live here, we

are preaching here to the people inviting them to our programs...

So is not that we are looking to others, but in some way we have to find a

way to deal with it... here were I live we have no Temple, no authorities

at all, so Kali is making lot of noice within us... If we just keep silence

to all these, is going to be really hard to improve... like a community, I

understand that we have two ways to advance in Krsna's Conciousness, the

individual conciousness, and the congregational Conciousness,...

Can you correct me please if I am wrong?

 

your eternal & willing servant, Sridhari devi dasi
