Krsnacandra dasa Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 There were quite a few articles on vnn.org addressing the recent terrorist strikes in New York and Washington DC. The article that conjured my attention the most was one by "VIDAGDHA MADHAVA DAS". Does anyone have an e-mail address for him? He left a telephone number, but I'm more into text when I speak to somebody for the first time, for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasanudas Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Dandavats prabhu, I agree very much with Vidagda Madhava on this issue. But it means some sacrifice. If devotees were to enter other forums, chats and news sights they will have to tolerate a lot of ignorance to get their views accepted. If their fixed and entrenched conceptions are to be enlightened it will certainly take the patience of Job and the tolerance of Hari das Thakur. But I've been feeling the nessecity of this for some time. Experiencing the confusion of these exchanges it is quite frustrating as no one recognizes authority, as most see it as just another opinion these days no more or less than their own, where everyones view is valid, but when you present absolute knowledge they take it with the same measure as all the other contributers. I've tried giving our acharyas perspectives and they end up discecting them like lawers. But still I agree we should try, if anyone find a receptive ear let us hear about it.
