</td></tr></tbody></table>Please accept my humble obeisances...all glories to SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!!!!!
Gurudeva, I am writing to ask/tell you two things that are in my thoughts:
1-I usually read Srila Narayan Maharaja's books, you know that. But I have never ever asked you if you allow me to do that. Naturally I got the books, i love Maharaja's katha, I feel really inspired, so I conssider him my siksa guru. What do you think?
2- I don't want to hear harsh criticism against devotees who have done harm to others, inside of Iskcon GBC, and anyhow, sometimes I hear devotees criticize them harshly, and not finding a real solution, which, for me, it is to belong to Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon and to serve without duplicity and love. I think that hatred doesnt lead anywhere, and years and years of scorn won't change anything. My question is: what can I meditate on so that these things don't hurt me so much? is there anything I can do? I had to tell you these things gurudev, because they are in my daily bhajan, interfering-
thanks for your time!!! my rounds are ok!!! :D thank youuuuuuuuu
at your feet:
Visnupriya devi dasi
</td></tr></tbody></table>HpS - AGTSP pamho. My advice would be that it is alright for you (but maybe not some one else) to read Maharaja's books as long as you are also reading Srila Prabhupada's regularly.
An Uttama adhikari spontaneously avoids being contaminated by blasefemy. A Madhyama adhikari can avoid it by being careful.
"A good horse runs even at the shadow of a whip". Zen
So you have to become more and more expert at avoiding blasphemous remarks. Chant Hare Krsna and retreat from the situation. Try to get people to change the subject. Preach to them... but avoid getting hit by the garbage!
These are great topics for the Blog. You can always use a pseudo nym if you feel embarrassed to ask them using your real name.
