Saranagati Farm tax credits

[Guest guest]

Dear Hare Krsna dasi

Prabhu, What you yourself list as the 'FIRST THING' has not been done yet. In

fact, you are repeatedly misrepresenting the situation by reprinting an

ALLEGATION and then asking whether it is still going on, without even knowing

if it is true in the first place. Your THIRD THING refers to the ALLEGATIONS

as IF TRUE. Nor will you present any information you have in the appropriate

context even though that context has been repeatedly given to you. You seem

bent on giving an incomplete slanted presentation. eg. 'grazing beef cattle'

when it should be 'the unwilling encroachment of beef cattle onto the land'.

Nor have you replied to a number of pertinent points and questions addressing

the 'Second THING' you list.(although it should be worded ...'would Prabhupada

approve of what is actually going on', not of what is alleged) Are you

interested in understanding the situation or do you just want to use what you

have 'heard', even if incorrect, to further the genuine cause of cow

protection? Why do you insist on reprinting unverified information over and

over? Why won't you just wait for the report. Whether you or the public get

it directly from Vipramukhya Maharaja or later from Balabhadra Prabhu

shouldn't matter.

It may also be noted that your analysis of the situation both before and after

the report is yours alone, that it does not constitute the truth. You do such

great work. Please don't discredit yourself by mistreating the devotees. You

stated in a previous post that spiritual advancement will gradually decline

where there is abuse of animals. Please remember that there are additional

causes for decline in spiritual life. Please make appropriate apologies and

work to find a new way to present your points. Such a program of apology on

your part might actually expand your preaching opportunities.
