  1.  

    ISKCON has dozens and dozens of gurus now.

    Let them preach and make their own disciples.

    I don't want anything to do with that program.

     

    Why should I distrubute books and make disciples for the ISKCON gurus who will most often disappoint the innocent souls who take shelter of them?

     

    BTG was for bringing people to Srila Prabhupada.

    When BTG becomes a device for bringing suckers to the ISKCON gurus I am outta here. :uzi:

     

    So what do you do to spread Krishna Consciousness? Your Spiritual Master said "distribute books"?

  2. IMO, Just get them out of the house! Especially if you have deities in the house. Personally when it comes to cockroaches, I capture them, shout Hare Krishna and throw them outside.

     

    I wouldn't be concerned about what they do out there, and if they disturb others, but don't take it on yourself to kill them if you can avoid it.

     

    Of course if the house is infested, then you may have to take matters into your own hands, but otherwise do what you can to prevent the presence of bugs.

  3. If the house is clean, you won't have problems with cockroaches and other bugs, rats etc.

     

    We used to have a rat problem at our ashram, because leftover prasadam was put into a compost bin outside, and then eventually when we got rid of the compost bin, the rats had nothing to eat and would come into the ashram because of the smell. However, since the ashram was clean, the rats could find nothing to eat and never came back.

     

    You can also get repellents that put out a smell that makes these sorts of bugs leave.

  4. Can you provide any sort of official link for that?

     

    There is a lot of rumours that go around in Krishna Consciousness, Srila Prabhupada said this or that, but unless it's coming directly from a disciple or a recording (of a disciple or Srila Prabhupada) I wouldn't believe it. Similarly I heard "GBC said it's okay to eat chocolate" but I don't see that in any GBC resolutions, or Krishna.com, or ISKCON.com, etc.

  5. Additional Notes :

     

    1. If possible, it is suggested that you don't eat food made by Karmi's, including chocolate.

     

    2. Onions also cultivate the mode of passion.

     

    3. It's important to be practical, and not be fanatic. When you're away from home, there isn't much you can do in the way of showering so don't worry about it too much. Keep in mind that you very muci when you have past stool and don't handle any devotional items if possible, but if you have to you have to. I'm not sure about the question of your daughter, but really that's just technicalities, just be focused on the goal and everything will work out fine. But at a guess i'd wash her, and then wash myself. Children are always going to be unclean no matter what :P
