Jaya Prabhupada! During my preaching career, I have several times taken a break from giving classes. I have done this for two basic reasons: health and writing.

I accept the Gītā because it is powerfully rational and best explains my experience of the world. I don’t believe on faith alone, but rather because the Gītā perfectly describes my experience of the world. Further, reading the Gītā refines and enhances my experiences so that can see many things that present themselves to me as self-evident. #hdg #hdgoswami #gita
There is an important socio-historical point: ISKCON is a large society with all kinds of people, with a full range of human pscychologies, healthy and unhealthy. As we know, throughout history, and across religious boundaries, some people with notably imperfect character and psychology become leaders at various levels in religious organizations. That is certainly true in ISKCON, even with people who follow external principles.

We have all struggled with this. We should remember that ISKCON is a society, and within a society, we must find a community where we feel we fit, where we respect the other members, not just because they are officially devotees, but because we really like and admire their character.
Yudhisthira was too submissive to Dhrtarastra. Ultimately, no one is required to follow an ‘authority’ who is plotting against one’s true interest. That is the lesson of Bali Maharaja and Sukracarya. #hdg #hdgoswami #community #prabhupada #iskcon
