What a knuckleheaded argument .
Hey Dasa, while your at it, do you think you could tell me why you dont call yourself a 'Hare Krsna' and distance yourself from ISCON?
On the one hand you say that Prahbudda is the most important modern spiritual person, on the other you assert that all the HARE stuff is tainted and does not support your religious views adequately. (Prahbudda started ISCON and the Hares. It is his direct work (that you seem to be shunning).
Originally posted by karoly aczelAll I have said in the past about the hare Krsnas is that they were going through some political turmoil and I did not want to associate myself with them until they had soughted it out........That does not mean anything else but that.

I was in the Hare Krsnas for 10 years.
They are still preaching exactly the same Vedic knowledge that Srila Prubhupada had given them in the beginning.........and that is their sole purpose for existing as the Hare Krsna movement today and into the future.
I give all blessings to the Hare Krsnas.
This may be incorrect.......but I think you have mixed up what I have said about the Vedas.
I have said that unless a person knows where to get authentic Vedic knowledge then they should stick with the books of Srila Prubhupada.........and that's a positive endorsement right there for Prubhupada.
There are many pseudo Vedic teachers out there and many pseudo Vedic web-sites as well out there in the world that must be avoided.
Srila Prubhupada is the only person the bring pure devotional service to the West in the form of the Vedic teachings.
Others have tried but they have all failed due to their corruptable and impure ways and their lack of pure devotion to God and their poor fund of true knowledge.

I have been working for 50 years..................like most people.
In my spare time I study the Vedas and chant the names of God.
My days are filled with wonder and happiness.
Living ones life in God consciousness is normal........because I am a spiritual being.
Not living ones life in God consciousness is abnormal.
