Kaustubha Das: Cleveland could use some devotees to come here and preach. I've been going there on and off for over 10 years and there has never been book distro or any kind of outreach really. So you can surrender and preach here and make people like me shut up by finally putting your money where your mouth is. And if you can't do it yourself since you have such an audience of older, wiser and more advanced devotees it shouldn't be hard to get something set up now should it??
Pita Dasa: No one is x ISKCON there are only inner and outer circle. Truth be told Gaura if you opened your heart to your GBC in the early 80s they got rid of you. The day I had to leave the Taipei temple and sit in the back of an English teaching class in Taiwan to see how I needed to make a living I cursed the person who did it to me. This is no matter of karma that was before being blessed by Srila Prabhupada, Gaura prabhu ultimately it is Lord Krishna,s test on us to purify us. As Srila Prabhupada was departing Srila Prabhupada's godbrother Bon Maharaja told Tamal Krishna Maharaja and myself "...that at the time of the departure of the spiritual master the disciples will be tested by fire", no truer words were ever spoken to me. ISKCON is like a tiny version of Mahabarata.
