Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita
Guest |
/ #32122011-12-19 05:24To hell with our enjoying the prestige of sitting at the feet of such a topmost rasika Vaishnava as His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, or any other for that matter! To hell with strictly following the principles of varnashrama-dharma! That is for the kanistha-adhikaris having meager pure devotional shraddha. To hell with playing “Mommy” and “Daddy” in the material world! To hell with our having opened hundreds of temples, restaurants, and farm communities with the aim of delivering all the fallen conditioned souls in the universe from the cycle of repeated birth and death! To hell with animal husbandry! To hell with following from A to Z all the damn rules and regulations of the International Society for Rules and Regulations! To hell with trying to become a Hare Krishna clone! To hell with our having “advanced” through the fires of years upon years of ordeal in the almost intolerable association of blundering neophytes! To hell with attempting to express our love for guru and Krishna in terms of endlessly bearing the brunt of relentless institutional strife! To hell with toeing the party line! To hell with the institutionalism of the institutionalists! To hell with religio-institutional corporatocracy! To hell with trying to reconcile ourselves to the neoteric drift of a movement’s henpecked leadership! To hell with being a Hare Krishna yes-man! To hell with all the superficial role-modeling! To hell with our profiling as advanced devotees when we know damn well we’re not! To hell with grappling for socio-religious eminence! To hell with the institutional rubberstamping of sampradayic supermen! To hell with the “necessary evil” of (poorly) organized religion! To hell with all the meetings, resolutions, revolutions, dissolutions, and no solutions ad-infinitum! To hell with the ever-abounding, all-entangling crisis (mis)management syndrome! What could be expected of an institution that currently runs rather like a decapitated donkey? To hell with our having supposedly heard and regurgitated hundreds and thousands of Bhagavatam classes, dutifully attended thousands and millions of mangala-aratrika and guru- puja kirtanas, and perfunctorily chanted millions and billions of rounds of maha-mantra-japa! Shnick, Shnick, Raam, Raam! To hell with all our vehemently preaching about preaching about preaching about how we’re supposed to preach about preaching about preaching about how we’re supposed to preach! What are we “preachers” supposed to be preach- preachidy-preaching about? To what extent have we actually understood? To hell with the profiteering of the cash-covetous, business-brained mongers of transcendental knowledge! To hell with the Hindu-bindu Society for Currency (oops! I mean Krishna) Consciousness! I say to hell with milking the Hindu cash cow! To hell with the cost-effective, vogue-wise Hare Krishna phobia! To hell with the painfully put-on sankirtana smile! To hell with it! Like infatuated children, avidly engrossed in the perpetual pastime of competitively collecting rare and unusual coinage, we accumulate the hundreds and thousands of unqualified neophyte disciples under the pretext of perpetuating the sampradaya. I say, to hell with it! To hell with, on the plea of concern for others, becoming so blunderingly bogged down with all the petty little problems of the hundreds and thousands of corporeally attached shisya- praya “disciples” that one fails to oneself find the time and space required to complete even the minimum nama-bhajana expected of a new bhakta; what then of achieving the advanced internal devotional realizations needed to become, for the benefit of one’s disciples, anything better than a half-baked cookie! To hell with the undignified, artfully employed, hard- nosed, cunningly politic, cold-shouldering, dog-eat-dog bureaucratic religio-administrative spin control! Has anyone ever achieved prema by this approach? To hell with being a pawn on the chessboard of any mortal being’s religio-institutional managerialism! To hell with coyly compromising the truth to kowtow to the cacophonous misconclusions of dull-headed under- enlightened ecclesiastics of religio-executive clout! |
