I've always wondered what devotees mean by > the term "senior devotee." Could you please share your definition? To me a senior devotee, apart from his or her many years of unbroken service, is someone who has given their life and soul to Srila Prabhupada's mission. A senior devotee I consider someone who can inpsire in me unflinching faith and conviction in Srila Prabhupada. In the NOD Rupa Goswami describes that one of the adhikaris of an uttama devotee is that he can defeat any argument by his knowledge of scripture, and that under no circumstances can his faith in the Lord be disrupted by such arguments.

Perhaps we should call this conference Prabhupadanugas? Then those who are involved are left in no doubt what it is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
