dandwat to all prabhu ji and mataji
All glories of Srila Prabhupada
I wud like to quote words of Srila Prabhupada in a letter i.e.
"So far the Road Show and the Yoga Village are concerned, these things should be stopped. Simply perform our kirtan. If we divert our attention in this way, the whole thing will gradually deteriorate. He is going far away. All these things are nonsense inventions. Such inventing spirit will ruin our this movement. People may come to see, some will become devotees, but such devotees will not stay because they are attracted by some show and not by the real thing or spiritual life according to the standard of Lord Caitanya. Our standard is to have Kirtan, start temples. What is this 'Road Show' and 'Yoga Village?' It will be another hippie edition. Gradually the Krsna consciousness idea will evaporate: another change, another change, every day another change. Stop all this. Simply have kirtan, nothing else. Don't manufacture ideas." (Sudama, 11/5/72)
But in really what is happening in New Vrindawan ( http://www.dandavats.com/?p=11893 ) is just distractfull for new comers who came to seek spiritual benefit as well as for ones who want advancement in Krishna Consciousness.
we are killing mission of Srila Prabhupada and enjoying materialism on the name of Krishna Consciousness.
I m one of the most sinful fallen soul coz i dont have enough courage to join ISKCON as a active member by going against my family and do something rather than complaining here..
i beg Krishna's pardon coz complaining against devotee is not a krishna conscious activity..
so this is my humble request to all devotees plz do concentrate on chanting, kirtan only.
i wud like to ask for more "quotes" from srila prabhupada's books and letters or lectures regarding this context.
and plz chant

same quote as we have on home page of this website
"Now I want that we shall concentrate on making our devotees Krsna conscious and ourselves becoming Krsna conscious, and not be so much concerned with expanding ourselves widely but without any spiritual content. just like boiling the milk, it becomes thicker and sweeter. Now do like that, boil the milk." (Rupanuga, 5/9/72)
"You mention you like to speak now very often, but the first business should be to preach to the devotees. It is better to maintain a devotee than to try to convince others to become devotees. Don't be too much concerned for the time being with non-devotees, now we must fix up what devotees we have got in the knowledge of Krsna consciousness, then we will succeed. What good are many, many devotees if none of them are knowledgeable?" (Satsvarupa, 6/16/72)
