On the other hand, in the last couple of days we have also recieved articles and video from India showing devotees argue on TV and the media. This blog is about the positive and to glorify Srila Prabhupada. Many months ago when we started this blog one of the questions we promised to always ask when posting articles is "What would please Srila Prabhupada?". After seeing some of this public media coverage that is now being rebroadcasted all over the world via the internet, it is clear that some individuals have forgotten to ask themselves if this public behaviour "would please Srila Prabhupada". A total loss of decorum and vaishnava etiquette as the name of ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada is tossed back and forth cannot please our Spirtual Master. Thus this prayer is for everyone to come to their senses and through dialogue and cooperation take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nrsimha.
Jai Nrsimha
Jai Srila Prabhupada
And now back to our regular blog....
[PADA: Yep, even the people who are in sympathy with formal ISKCON see this battle from Bombay ISKCON as giving ALL OF ISKCON a bad name. Good analysis. ys pd]
If the GBC wasn't the abomination that it was and still is, people wouldn't have to go public. Krsna has provided this avenue so devotees don't have ton continue with putting up and shutting up. When something is so rotten (the GBC) and the stench is so bad, it's to be expected that someone might call attention to the horrific stench.
