Hare Krishna,

I'm going to remove most of the blogs from our blog site, since they have been inactive for a long time, or are simply copies of content originally posted at the main site.

Praghosa Prabhu, in his latest article on Dandavats, Accepting our Lot, Gracefully, tells us that offending vaisnavas is really a bad thing, the most serious offense any vaisnava can possibly commit.

While this isn't exactly news to those who have been following Srila Prabhupada for more than a few weeks, I do agree that it's a very important point to remember for all of us. In the heat of an argument it's easy to say or write things that, on more sober reflection, qualify as vaisnava-aparadha. Forcefully stating an opinion about one subject, one can easily offend others, also vaisnavas, who see the problem from a different perspective, or arrive at different conclusions.

...use at your own risk!
