cbrahma Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Is the flowery honorific language an Indian thing? It doesn't fly in the West but maybe that kind of hype goes down with Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murali_Mohan_das Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I fail to see how promoting one's son counts as "self-promotion", unless we are taking the Mayavadi "all one" position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guru Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I fail to see how promoting one's son counts as "self-promotion", unless we are taking the Mayavadi "all one" position. Rajasuya Das would be benefitted if his son is respected and adorned by the gullible neophyte bhaktas who fall for the externals very easily. Later his son will be made a president/zonal secretary/gbc etc. So it's extended sense gratification. It should also be noted that the bond between parents and children are more stronger in India. So father projecting the children or children projecting the father would be mutually beneficial. What power doesn't a temple president in India have these days, especially when they are each sitting on millions of dollars? I feel like throwing up over this self promotion.

Guruvani Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I think there should be another section of the forum for personal attacks and vendettas. These attacks on people we don't like don't belong in the "spiritual discussions" part of the forum. Take your personal grudges somewhere else. Who gives a damn about what little nobodies in ISKCON are doing! The whole damn institution is about personal promotion. Why single out one chump to pick on? He sees that it is going on all over ISKCON and is just following the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
