A Cloud of Misguided Self-righteousness
BY: NANDA KISHORE DAS
Jul 21, 2010 — UK (SUN) — Dear C Goswami, I am so sorry you are so angry and despite your lengthy and extensive chastisement, I am afraid you have completely missed the very simple point. The devotees are simply trying to do some preaching and introduce Krishna "somehow or other", as instructed to us in Srila Prabhupada's purports, and there are a zillion such examples in the whole history of our movement.
Ask yourself the simple question: "Do you really think their motivation in printing this poster and organising the conference was to do anything other than preach Krsna Consciousness? Or, as you are so unswervingly accusing them of having some bizarre motivation to minimise Srila Prabhupada and pander to the new agers? I mean why would they do that? Why? They aren't gonna make any money or get women? Why would they bother to do all that just to minimise Srila Prabhupada and be offensive?
Think about it. You are making out like they are evil monsters for trying to do a little preaching. Prabhu you are off the wall. You make out like they hate Srila Prabhupada and are purposefully making a huge offense to him. Are you forgetting that Srila Prabhupada was pleased even if the name of Krishna appeared in the media?
It's like so many other unfortunate articles on this site making aparadhas. What exactly is the motivation of all these devotees who are being so severely critiscised by people such as you? You think they are preaching and dressing as devotees and chanting, etc., etc. for other reasons then to follow the directive of our movement, which is to spread Krishna Consciousness. Or have they been doing these things for years and years with these underlying evil motivations that you and others so heinously accuse them of?
I mean like if they wanted to be materialists and enjoy wealth and women, I am sure they would be doing something else rather than wandering around the planet trying to do something to spread Krsna Consciousness. You make out the devotees are like evil monsters trying to undermine everything we hold dear. Give it a break yeah! And if you know better, let me see you put huge posters of Srila Prabhupada around the planet and save the world. Why don't you do that if you are so sure it's a brilliant idea. You do that and forgive the poor devotees who are trying their best.
I think you and people like you are just missing the simple point and are huge fault finders who have lost their way, being in some kind of cloud of misguided self-righteousness.
