Well, that's understandable. I was unaware that the ritviks used the term - frankly I don't follow what they're doing, I pay no attention to their rantings, I don't read their postings or whatever, and I certainly don't know what they call their 'websites' - it was Madhusudani Radha who pointed out it was their 'name'. So it was an innocent suggestion, and not one that was 'loaded' at all. Besides that, I think the term was passed over a while ago. Mukhya liked the suggestion "Vaisnava Discussions", and asked for your comment on that. Braja Sevaki dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
