Markji, I agree that persons may want to try to develop sound business

structures based in vedic concepts, and I also agree that that might not be

the most ideal. If succesfull it could be good PR, and it is certainly

better than a strictly materialistic endeavour, althoug it could become

pretty materialistic depending on the persons consciousness.

 

One thing just struck me. You mentioned Prabhupadas business activities with

his pharmacy. What struck me was that the incredible success in terms of

income, farms properties etc, that now form the bedrock (in physical terms)

of the movement, all came from Prabhupadas sitting under a tree in Tompkins

square park, and chanting Hare Krsna. Agreed there is not a lot of room

under that tree (or not many takers for the method), but we have to realise

that that is where the *real* success comes from. This is actualy 'getting

real'. I mean in terms of eternal spiritualy tangible reality, instead of

all this temporary stuff we are talking about.

 

Varnasrama is aimed at reaching that state, as opposed to going in the

direction of commerciality.

 

But meanwhile we have to go through the mill, till we understand this

eternal principle.
