prasada to poor people

The real issue for me, at this instance, would not be how come

that stealing is a nonsense. But wether the person whose name

you have been hearing all along is actually the thief.

 

I wonder how much it is actually correct to simply post a cut

out piece of Srila Prabhupada's quote without giving a single

word of accompanying explanation, assuming that it is self

explanatory. The psychological effect being that in the minds

of the public the image of Hare Krsna FFL program not more but

a kind of a materialistic activity with no reference to KC at

all, or to say precisely - a nonsense - , might be created.

Yet, in the same time, did Maharaja himself make any such

straightforward accusation to stand behind? No. He leaves the

burden of responsibility of such eventual "FFL=nonsense" synthesis

to you and to your mind.

 

The argumentation that would undermine the activities of FFL

has been shifting from most gross (classic) claim "it's a

guru-aparadha" to somewhat philosophically theorizing "it's a

bodily discrimination" to this latest (so far most subtle one)

"it's a nonsense" -- without even making a single statement but

by merely posting a little cut-out piece from one Prabhupada's

letter, that even was taken out of the context.
