You stated the following, Prabhu. To me it is very clear.

This is NOT what Srila Prabhupada stated regarding the unfulfilled mission

of implementing varnasrama-dharma in ISKCON and, if possible, the world in

general. Prabupada had a very specific plan of implementation of VAD and he

detailed those orders for four days straight in March of 1974 and

emphatically again in Feb 1977, a few months before his disappearance. To

this day NONE of the ISKCON so-called leaders have taken up those orders

with anything more than a little lip-service.

Sorry.

 

But your words are almost exactly the same words we have heard from the

so-called leaders of ISKCON for more than 20 years and we all know the

results: criminal abuse of women, children and cows. Tough love has been

desperately needed as retribution of these crimes to the citizens of ISKCON

for a long time.

 

Any so-called leader of ISKCON who will not accept Srila Prabhupada's

Proposal For Reform of ISKCON #1 as detailed in the Varnasrama Morning Walk

Conversations of March 1974 should be relieved of duty immediately. This

nonsense and criminal activity has been going on for far too long. And wimpy

proposals that continue the pretense that we are "transcendental" to

varnasrama and that if we all "just become Krsna conscious and brahmanas"

everything will be alright "automatically" should be rejected as so much

useless litter.

 

My proposal to this conference is we first dissect, discuss and carefully

consider each page of the Varnasrama Morning walks conversation pamphlet

that I have been distributing since 1975. Prabhupada made a clear proposal

for ISKCON 26 years ago which has never been implemented. Maybe the pure

devotee of Krsna had a good idea?
