Suggestion: Relax Your Initiation RulesGuru Maharaja, I feel that you are doing a great job to bring Krishna near to the ordinary man. But I would like to suggest to relax your rules of initiation. You should have two types of disciples: those who observe the four conditions of initiation and others who believe in Krishna and His Gita but do not follow the regulative principles. You should not refuse your shelter to the meat eaters of Africa and Middle East. Rather you should bless them to progress to the ideal level.Please don't feel offended as Gita gives us the right to ask questions to the Guru to clear any doubt.With pranam,Hare KrishnaAnswer: Guru's Mercy is UnlimitedThis was not a question. This was suggestion. Krishna does not say to approach the spiritual master and give him suggestions. But nonetheless, because of your sincere desire to see all peoples blessed with Krishna bhakti I shall be happy to reply to your suggestion.Since the spiritual master is the well-wishing friend of all he dedicates his life 100% to saving all living beings from the cycle of birth and death. It is not that because he does not accept meat eaters as his disciples, that he is not being merciful to them. As long as one has a desire for eating meat he would not be happy to live in the spiritual world because it is a completely vegetarian place. Therefore meat eaters cannot attain the spiritual world. It is not that by initiating them that they would become delivered. They first of all have to become free from the desire to indulge in eating flesh. Therefore it is the kindness of the spiritual master upon the meat-eaters that he requires them to give up meat-eating if they want to become initiated.Hare Krishna Hare KrishnaFor more discussions visithttp://harekrishnaharekrishna.ning.com/forum/
