My dandavats to all Vaisnavas. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I’ve been lucky to be caught by the lockdown at the Bhaktivedanta Manor and have a lot of offline association with the temple devotees here. And I think in the same way as most of us I’ve got more online engagements that I can ever handle. So Krishna is very merciful to myself, despite of my numerous disqualifications. Another important point is that through discussions with number of leaders in ISKCON it transpires that we have a very similar feeling: that the pandemic is making the whole planet extremely receptive to our message. But the only question is how do we frame it in such a way that that it doesn’t appear to be sectarian and just serving our own purposes as one of the thousands religious organizations competing for the following? I guess it’s something we all can meditate on, as it would be truly sad to miss yet another brilliant opportunity to establish Krishna Consciousness on the level Srila Prabhupada so much wanted it to be.... Your servant, B.R. Sagar Swami |
