Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 >>I have no intentions at all to offend someone but I just wanted to know the real identity of this gentleman using id as 'isckcon' or 'haridas vesyadas' and so on. One should be honest in his representation. Furthermore I also do not understand the purpose behind having an id as 'isckon. He also has other aliases like 'rep', 'realp' and 'doj.>> Ah yes, that path to hell that's paved with good intentions! What a great road to walk along. Oh my Krsna. Someone having aliases! What a sin! I wonder what Srila Vaiyasaki/Suka would say about that; or Lilasukha/Bilvamangala prabhu or Krsna-dvaipayana/Dvaipayana/Satyavati-suta/Parasarya/Parasaratmaja/ Badarayana/Vedavyasa prabhu or Srila Purnaprajna/Madhva, or Srila Thakura Varsabanabidevidayitayadasa/Vimala Prasada/Bhaktisiddhanta/Prabhupada. I wonder. By gosh those pesky aliases again! But wait; I seem to remember hearing about ISCOWP and iskcon.net and iskcon.org and HareKrsna.com and CHAKRA and dipika.org and then there's http://www.krishna.com/akcnews/ all portraying themselves to be followers of Srila Prabhupada carrying out his mission and teachings. Did you check with them too? I'm sorry Shyamakrishna prabhu, but I lost track of the part of this story where anybody else's business or what they think, say or do became YOUR business. And I'm wondering why anybody has to justify anything to you or why having email aliases, constitutes misrepresentation in your HUMBLE opinion? Whether you understand WHY people have email aliases or not, is again none of your concern; IMHO. But as not all of us are as perfect and HONEST as you Shyamakrishna prabhu, perhaps we should just reconcile such things as the antics of those less-honest-than-you. Then again perhaps you are Sri Krsna in another form and we should be willing to satisfy you? But then of course you would already know who the aliases referred to. So much for THAT idea! Perhaps instead of your HUMBLE suggestion about carrying out an 'investigation' into a person's name, or HUMBLY implying that organizations that you are not familiar with should justify their names to you, you could simply have written a letter to Haridasa vesyadasa prabhu asking HIM, why he has that name OR dismissed it as being none of your business. My own humble suggestion to you is to go back and check in the mirror or the vaisnava dictionary again and see what the ACTUAL face of humility looks like and try to understand when one is being offensive; either that or check with your initiating and/or instructing spiritual masters. As Srila Prabhupada says, "Beginning from practicing humility up to the point of realization of the Supreme Truth, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, this process is just like a staircase beginning from the ground floor and going up to the top floor". [bG. 13.8-12] Have you checked recently to see which part of the staircase you are on? ys ganesa dasa Ps. The ID is Isckcon, NOT isckon. Please check your spelling.
