Many sincere dedicated devotees are just waiting and longing for this day to be with Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, after so much sadness, hypocracy and quarrel in today's mundane world, wrongly putting their faith and trust in those "so called devotees of God" who were NEVER their friends to begin with.
Do not EVER let any "so called" devotee, sannyasi, guru, Temple President or GBC claiming to be leaders, tell you what you can do, or not do!
First of all, any relationship you have with others, meaning any leader including your Spiritual Master or Guru, MUST be in a "two way" voluntary relationship based on genuine loving exchanges of reciprocation, character building, and nurturing that respects one's choice of individual personal unique offerings.
Any dictatorial guru who demands respect and blind obeisance MUST be rejected and shunned and be seen as bogus!
Our GBC are NOT impersonalists the way Prabhupada describes what an impersonalist is.
ReplyDeleteImpersonalism has two meanings,
1 - Mayavadi teachings
2 - Putting down and belittling others by bulling them and demanding obedience and respect under dictatorial values denying personal contributions.
The majority of ISKCON Gurus, sannyasis, Temple Presidents and GBCs are good devotees, but sadly history has shown some have treated other aspiring devotees in a impersonal uncaring way.
The conditions of a genuine relationship with your Guru and all Temple leaders is also explained above in the main post.
Hare Krishna !
