Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Namaste Brad, Regarding " thank you " , that was my personal opinion. You are maybe right. But if curbing the number of mails is really a big necessity, then this can be a good suggestion. About SRK,Kolkata's sale of property, I think the Mission should have been more considerate.Even if they dont want to occupy the premises, which Sri Sunderh has rightly pointed out, I feel they could use it for some constructive use.Say, they can run a school for children of the prostitutes.They can rent it out as a small clinic, the doctor who could be partially paid by the Mission. They could also take a weekly discourse there. I pity the prostitutes who really missed a golden chance of coming closer to think of God and divinity.I must say that the Mission has lost a golden opportunity to reform the downtrodden and neglected people of the society.If such " knowledgeable " people like monks themselves neglect them, then what better treatment can be expected from other " normal " people?This is sickening. Regards, Srikanth. --- Brad Stephan <brad wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> Dear Srikanth:<BR> <BR> Thank you for the interesting article (sorry, but I disagree with you on<BR> your other posting - I feel our world can use as many & quot;Thank you's & quot; it can<BR> get!)
