Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Matajis Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I just got the following (attached) article by Vyapaka Prabhu from the Dharmaksetra webite. The following opening paragraphs pretty much let you know what the subject matter is. In Defense of Srila Prabhupada by Vyapaka Dasa "I request that devotees that think that this permissive attitude that allows this blatant depicting of our founding acarya in such an offensive light--write to the overseers of COM itself, in the hopes that bringing it to their attention will end this great slap in our beloved guru's face. To hear from several devotees in protest will get their attention." Mahananda Dasa, October 19, 1999, Topical Discussions Dear Followers of Srila Prabhupada, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of actions meant to denigrate Srila Prabhupada's revered position in the Krsna consciousness movement. The greatest concern is that it is not an assault originating from outside the movement but rather it is being powered by ISKCON-initiated devotees through comments appearing on various conferences on the ISKCON/BBT website, COM (which has been recently renamed PAMHO.COM). The situation has been quietly debated by various leaders of the Hare Krsna movement via the Internet for several months. As a result, some of the discussions have now become public resulting in a fear that a divided GBC will not act decisively over such a basic and important issue. The situation has become so grave that two GBC members have tendered their resignations .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 What is most amazing is this: Please dont quote me or Srila Prabhupad about this. This would really get out of hand in the hands of idiots. But you might remember that Srila Prabhupad said that his coming to the west "if they know what I was going to do they would have killed me" Throughout the Scriptures we, the people of kali yuga, and not just the west are described as demons, rakshasas, TENTH class men. Wow. We read that, and joined the movement. So comparitvely to say a demigod the smartest man or women currently has the intelligence of an Ant. Wow. So yes there are men [and women] on the moon. So yes there is a God So yes there is a soul in the body So yes killing a cow is a crime that we will have to take birth for and get slaughtered for as many hairs on its body. So yes we are against meat eating, intoxication, sex except for procreation and gambling..the main stay of kali yuga life [but we are not against or hate the doers as they are all part of Krishna] So yes sudra means black So yes sudra vaisya and stri in Kail yuga are all less intelligent So yes demons are born in brahman families. So..the list goes on of things that are externally offensive IF WE THINK WE ARE THESE BODIES.. What is less intelligent to think we are these bodies and to indetify with their defects. BUT THAT IS A TWO WAY STREET.. A pure Vaishnav sees the body only as a dress and if your coat is blue you are not Mr. Blue coat to a Vaisnava even if blue is not in fashion.
