I have a friend who was one of the original disciples of Prabhupad. This disciple was the one who installed my traditionally carved Shiva lingam with a mahaarudra-abhishekam and agni-hotra. He was trained in various pancharatri vidhi-s by a brahmana from Udapi. He is a liberal, I am a conservative. We only talk about Buddhadhatu and Ishvaara since politics is the province of disputants.
He personally heard from Prabhupad a prediction that India and Pakistan would one day engage in thermonuclear warfare. "You will all be annihilated" was his comment. His advice: Reside in the USA unless you feel certain that Krna will take you to Goloka- vrindavana. ********** Theology is for the Orthodox Speculation is for the Heterodox But the scent of the rose petal Belongs to heart of the perfume maker.
