krsna Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Question: Swami B.V. Tripurati writes in Sri Guru-Parampara, still today many bábájis from Rádhá-kunda and other areas of Vraja maintain that the only sin a vaisnava can commit is to offend a vaisnava, thus lending to a liberal attitude with regard to immoral conduct. My question is, is it not preferable to criticize someone than letting him to get entangled in immoral conduct? Answer: Haribol. To critize someone's conduct for the protection of others may be necessary sometimes. Mahaprabhu himself rejected Krishna dasa after the Bhattatharis seduced him. But later he got mercy from Lord Nityananda. from: Questions and Answers, Swami B.A. Paramadvaiti AskTheSwami.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And missing out on pleasures for conscience and for someone else to be well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
