[PADA: More and more devotees are adopting the PADA idea that the GBC's gurus are a business franchise, which is what we said in the 1980s. That means our idea is spreading all over the place. We are not going to give her name to protect her from potential reprisals from the Goonda Bully Regime. The PADA idea is attracting more and more of these intelligent and thoughtful people. This is her comment below: ys pd]
"The entire mission has been turned into a franchise. And of course the "new India" mood adopted by the Indian devotees, especially those under the age of 50, is one of reckless enterprise and competition, following the model of the US and Europe of the 80s. The Western Iskcon devotees isolate themselves more and more from the real India, creating thus their own emerging caste system within an already gone wrong caste system. This they do for lack of understanding of the real meaning of their mission.
Anyone who pledges lip-loyalty to Srila Prabhupada is allowed to exploit others without accountability. And in that environment this exploitation means taking advantage of the already immoral social atrocities committed in India in the name of God. Thus the mission is unfortunately contributing more for the destruction of the dham than for its preservation.
Another example of that is the erroneous planetarium built there, for tourists. A monument to the misleading spirit of the recent decision makers there.
These things need to be addressed urgently."
PADA: Yes, prabhu since this woman has been able to express her idea very clearly, and you have not even been able to tell us even a hint of what your idea is, then yes, our readers are way more intelligent than you. Your idea is, unable to be expressed, its a Zen koan?
ReplyDeleteSorry, that's not going anywhere, you need to express your better idea in a clear way, or else yes, her idea is WAY superior to yours. Tell us what is the better path, or else yes, our path is superior by default. ys pd
Pada, your idea is better than Srila Prabhupada's by default? YOUR idea means not Srila Prabhupada's idea. Not the disciplic successions idea, not Lord Krishna's. When you start a sentence with the words, "I THINK" you should finish that sentence in the closet of your trailer. Next time you get another one of YOUR IDEAS, go in the closet and tell it to someone who it will do some good, which is no one.
ReplyDelete[PADA: I think pure devotees are gurus. The GBC thinks illicit sex are gurus. Who is right? ys pd]
