I'm not interested in becoming embroiled in emotional wrangles. Either someone has the faith to chant Hare Krishna, or they don't. How much energy do you want to expend on someone who will not accept this basic principle? What do *you* say to someone who is convinced that child abuse and chanting are incompatible?

Does this make food more potent than the > maha mantra? Of course not. Bodily problems and emotional/mental problems are not the same, so this a moot point. To say that psycholical therapy can help someone to become a better devotee is the same as saying that material means can help us become better devotees, and that is obviously false. Prabhupada compared it to help saving someone's clothes instead of saving the body. > Braja Sevaka, if KC is all that's needed, why, pray tell did Srila > Prabhupada bring one of his sons who had serious mental problems to a > psychiatrist and not just engage him in chanting to cure the problem? > > Please answer the question without first asking if the therapy helped his > son.

Please first substantiate your claim that Prabhupada brought his son to a psychiatrist. I have never heard about it. That is exactly why I brought it up. Yogesvara asked Prabhupada if psychology can help and PRabhupada told him that he took his son to a pyschologist. You can email yogesvara. _joshua (AT) strmedia (DOT) com_ (joshua (AT) strmedia (DOT) com) He tells the story on the memories video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
