I'd like to see a forum where we can share our realizations about, problems with, and ideas for our daily practice and preaching (however we approach it) of Krishna consciousness. I think we also need to be able to accommodate those who, like you, are associated with missions other than ISKCON. That would mean, among other things, due respect not only for Srila Prabhupada, but for Srila Sridhar Maharaj, Srila Keshava Maharaj, Tripurari Maharaj, Narasingha Maharaj, Paramadvaiti Maharaj, Narayan Maharaja, etc. It may also mean that we may have to accommodate questions that arise about practices in those missions which differ from ISKCON's, and practices in ISKCON which differ from standard Gaudiya Math practices. Would something like that even work? It sounds useful to me; I'm kind of an ecumenical Gaudiya vaishnava, who takes good association where he finds it. But I can only try to imagine how this might seem to Godbrothers more closely (or more exclusively) associated with ISKCON than I am or to my Godbrothers' disciples. If we can come to some sort of consensus, then perhaps we could post an announcement on the X conference; it doesn't make any sense to me to do so until then. Otherwise, we may just have to let virtual nature take its course. Babhru das >I think we both would feel better about it if we were not in such a trough >of communication.

I think you've hit the nail right on the head - our 'daily practise and preaching' would definitely be a great guide to this conference. I think it would work. We've already discussed some good examples of it doing so in some communities around the world, so why not here? Ys Braja Sevaki dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
