Dear Nitya Rupa Mataji;<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p>
Thank you for Your letter of concern but this issue goes not about “offending” as You put it. Coming once a Year to the Farm I would almost word for word accept your letter as truth, but it´s NOT.<o:p></o:p>
The matter of fact is that for several Years the Farmleaders have dealt with this issue and that it had this outcome is surley sad and confusing for many of us “outsiders”, who do not live on that project.<o:p></o:p>
We can find many faults in almost all Temples inside and outside of ISKCON but the matter of fact is that I could witness much of the offending behaviour of Narahari Mataji towards other Devotees and she always used the term “ Narasimha will kic you out! ”<o:p></o:p>
I just think it is a good opportunity to go intourselfs and look if our own behaviour is not also similar in many occasions in wich we think that the Lord is on our side but deep within ourselves we have to admit that it is not. <o:p></o:p>
“It takes always two to tango” so we cannot and should not put all the blame only on one side.<o:p></o:p>
Narahari Mataji is always very sweet during the festivals and when many visitors are on the farm but she has also a side wich is not often seen in public and this side is deeply hurting. So much anger and grief has seems to have accumulated for many many Years and it shows us that it is not always so easy to stay in a project like Simhachalam. <o:p></o:p>
I do not want to hurt or offend you but are You really aware what was going on there or have you just heard from someone who heard It from someone else??<o:p></o:p>
Your statements indicat that, sorry to say that. <o:p></o:p>
It does not concern me personally, but this situation releases in us Viennese devotees a feeling of terror and lack of understanding. If one does not need an older mataji any more, she is simply disposed of like garbage. On top of that, the egoists with elbow technology win there always. The fact that Lord Krsna puts up with it I cannot understand, because He doesn't want to see His devotees suffering. <o:p></o:p>
The farm management did not dispose them like garbage firstly since Narahari Mataji lives in a newly acquired house with her sister, her nice and her new wed husband Bh. Daniel. Why is there a feeling of terror and lack of understanding??? Why don’t You just contact the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place><st1:PlaceType>Temple</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName>managment</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> and ask how all this happened.<o:p></o:p>
I think one of the biggest problems we have to face is that we are just hearing and concluding in spiritual matters O.K. but otherwise it goes too much in the gossiping and speculating realm. <o:p></o:p>
What still surprises me is the fact that certain authorities have placed the ISKCON temples in debt but are not called to account. Why do they still freely walk around, and now the innocent must pay the debts they created???? I cannot imagine that this is all Karma and Lord Sri Krsna deals with it. In this case it's easier to say that this is the will of Krsna than to admit: "I am greedy, silly and calculating, and everything belongs to me. I have got this, and now I can do with it what I want. And whether I run up debts or not, this is just Krsna's will and arrangement". This is a frivolous acceptance which uses the Devotees constantly: it's Krsna's will. <o:p></o:p>
I don’t get that one Do you talk about the Farm now or about the Austrian Yatra??? Vedanta Krit Prabhu and Arjunia Gopi Mataji are keeping the farm since they accepted the responsibility for the Farm DEBTFREE!!! So no new debts only the ones left to them to deal with!! By previous Managers which I will not mention here. <o:p></o:p>
Now I use the opportunity to write about the guilt of ISKCON. I have not yet seen that somebody in ISKCON gets upset about this situation and starts looking for the real culprits. However, instead, an older mataji is persecuted. How should one understand this? In the end I would like to suggest to some authorities who have no HEART EDUCATION the good examples in temples of <st1:City><st1:place>Copenhagen</st1:place></st1:City>, <st1:City><st1:place>Barcelona</st1:place></st1:City> and <st1:City><st1:place>Wroclaw</st1:place></st1:City>. There serve the authorities who help other devotees with love, humility and devotion, and because of this one can feel energy, joy and spirituality. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Whom do You mean with culprit? What have You heard that makes you think that Narahari Mataji has been persecuted?? I thin before making such statements You should really know more about the whole issue otherwise it is just dangerous for your spiritual live since it is one think that destroys bhakti its called Kuti - Nati or village gossip. <o:p></o:p>
I can only say that this decision that Narahari Mataji and her sister leave the temple came NOT FROM THE TEMPLE MANAGEMENT BUT FROM THE GBC DIRECTLY. I think in the future we shall see that it was the best for Narahari Mataji and her family and that outside they will prosper more than they couls have ever imagined since
“KRISHNA TAKES ALWAYS CARE OF HIS DEVOTEES” <o:p></o:p>
