AGTSP

Yesterday 2 indian devotees told me how a sannyasi and GBC had stated that Srimati Radharani never cooks the same kind of dishes twice for Krsna.They where so

angry and offended when I asked them to show where is sastra this was from, and withina complete 5 minutes they realized this sannyasi had spoken a complete speculation.

If this kind of this was true the Bhoga artik song had to be changed every day to suit our ISKCON sannyasi Guru…

bogus statement about fasting from grains on Visnuttava days

I got this message in 2008:

In a message dated 6/15/2008 8:31:36 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time,

If they make a rule, there has to be a penalty for not following it. What
