All glories to Srila Prabhupada !

 

Dear Shyamasundara Prabhu, Please accept my humble

obeisances.

 

Dira Krishna's offensive letter which accuses you

of being envious is really nonsensical. Simply because

you exposed R. s bhogus "astrology" and his false

pride and his non-devotional attitude in commenting

the Chart of Shri Ramacandra, and simply because we

were all wondering why DK, after rejecting R. as

bhogus becomes his student, so where is his integrity,

now DK is trying to defend himself, by attacking and

biting you, saying that your concern about bona fide

Vedic astrology is mundane and he is so great that he

is simply concerned with "Bhakti ". This is really

vicious and most envious bhavior. Only a rascal cannot

accept good advice but will bite back at those who are

his well wishers.

 

To answer his nonsense accusation, one simply needs to

refer to one of the most well-known statements by

Shrila Rupa Goswami :

 

"One's devotional service is spoiled when he becomes

entagled in the following six activities:...

 

5) jana-sangah associating with worldly minded

persons

( Upadeshamrita )

 

You can publish this without my name ( simply a friend

)
