I think so also. The main idea is baked good enough. And the

Rubicon got to be crossed at one point..

 

 

BTW, I got this one little proposal, too. An amnesty for sannyasis.

What I mean, this revolutionary changes in the sannyas asrama might

find perhaps quite some individuals hopelessly cornered. Think about

all those ksatriyas that took sannyas in ISCKON, in the time when

to be a sannyas and ksatriya in the same time went along, unchecked.

What will happen? They can't simply turn into brahmanas (didn't

work for Arjuna either). Nor can they remain doing as they used to.

Nor a fall down is an option.. I guess, what's left to them would be

to fight bloody nails and teeth against the implementation of any

such "sva-dharma" reforms.

 

So, why not have the Ultimate Authority proclaim an amnesty to

all ISCKON sannyasis, so that every and each individual may

sit down and think and reconsider their sannyas status, in the

newly given circumstances. And then make the final and actual

decision wether to really take sannyas or not, this time.

After that, no more "jo-jo" with marrying or not marrying,

no more "surprising" realizations about one's actual nature..

No more some transition committees to have them easier change

the asram. And those sannyasis who decide not to take sannyas

(this time), they are not to be looked upon disrespectfully,

it shouldn't be something to be seen as a fall down, but rather

as the way of putting things into their right places, after all.

 

 

Well, after all, maybe it is a silly idea. But that's what I

would like to see to happen, anyway. Get it back to the

start-line, there seems to be far too much mush on the runway.
