There Is No Social Confusion From Srila Prabhupada
BY: KURMA DASA (NOT THE CHEF)
Mar 26, AUSTRALIA (SUN) — I can appreciate Tungbidya devi dasi's want for Social Cohesion, amongst what has become the very 'flowery' world of Vaisnavism worldwide.
Personally I do not believe we need more workshops that simply confuse Truth with Lies, or what is wrong with right simply so that everyone can be nice to each other. We do not need to form relationships with people who do not walk on the same path that we walk. Sure, we may have to deal with them from time to time, however we don't need to do a workshop for that. Let your 'yes's' be YES and your 'no's' be NO for all the right reasons. It is from this central point that we flourish as individuals.
The whole ISKCON Bogus Gurus issue is a good example in this regard. I understand now, that my own troubles began with my inability to say NO. This one very simple word is where we all trip up in our lives, and if we were able to say NO more often, then ISKCON would be a far better place than it is today.
NO, I do not believe that Srila Prabhupada appointed 200 gurus, and therefore, NO, I will not assist or serve their Bogus deviation In anyway whatsoever.
Yes, I believe that Srila Prabhupada is ISKCON's only Acarya and therefore, YES, my desire is to serve Srila Prabhupada with my body, mind, and words in whatever capacity the Good Lord allows me.
Unfortunately, for having the above YES I cannot participate within ISKCON!
(Try solving that with a workshop, prabhu.)
