People unfortunately think of 'sainthood' in relation to Gandhi and Mother Teresa (interestingly both tied up with India, though neither of them were from there ...) but not Srila Prabhupada. Perhaps because what he was promoting belongs in the 'too hard basket' for most people, so the kind of 'sainthood' offered by the aforementioned is so much more appealing - it takes much less effort and the result? Much more attainable level of or profit, adoration, distinction. Ys Braja Sevaki dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
