Recommended Posts

A relatively recent college graduate, Kamal Krishna Prabhu began, during his college years, increasingly dedicating his life to serving Srila Gurudev and studying and distributing Krishna Consciousness. He is now a full-time resident of the Seva Ashram, engaged in service, study, and spiritual practice.

In this discourse (presented in two parts due to an equipment "crash"), Prabhu discusses how, often, Sri Guru brings us somewhere other than what our preconceived notions of Krishna Consciousness were.

At one point, Prabhu describes how, when he is engaged in dialog with "New Age" type folks, their Universalist tendencies irk him.

 

I have to confess that I share many of those Universalist tendencies. I don't feel that Gaudiya Vaishnavism is inherently "better" than any other tradition, though, it can certainly be argued that the Gaudiya conception is the most fully-fledged theistic conception.

 

I've met people that just don't seem to be able to accept a personal God (at least not yet). I see no reason why they ought not to be content with practicing their Buddhism.

 

For me, personally, it is as question of taste. I find the most flavor and sweetness in the company of the Vaishnavas. That is my criterion for discernment.

Yes, each to their own cup of vegetarian dog chow.
