On the ...Yes, Torben seems to be a little confused. On the one hand he cites Rocana's ideas as his authority, which means -- they basically want to have maybe 45 gurus for a temple of 10 people. And then they cannot even manage the basic process. And so they have in Rocana's Vancouver ISKCON temple, a run down deteriorated problem, such as the sign in front of the temple is in disarray because there is no one to fix it. Then Torben says nope, he is not with Rocana, rather he is with us -- the Prabhupadanugas, and thus we should have a local managed program like Prabhupadanugas are doing with their grass roots local programs. Or even the church is doing something like that (with a priest or ritvik managing system). So he has to decide which is better, having Jet Set gurus flying in every year to collect up some disciples, but not have any practical hands on managing, or to have our idea, manage the programs locally, using local brahmanas / priests / ritviks. ys pd krishna1008https://www.blogger.com/profile/01723561177692442276noreply@blogger.com
