Which one was Srila Prabhupada? Why does anyone have to respond to modern terms created by someone whose qualification is that she "had some contact with ISKCON in the past" just to "define" what Srila Prabhupada was? Is someone not clear who or what Srila Prabhpada was representing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
