    An other great history lesson. That was then..this is now!

    Have The The Hare Krsna’s Adopted Isolationism?

    From Wekipedia we get a general definition of Isolationism. I have altered their definition to suit my presentation. Hare Krsna isolationism is a category of the Hare Krsna movement being institutionalized by individual leaders or groups who assert that the Hare Krsna movement as well as personal interests are best served by keeping the original instructions of Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada at a distance from the rest of the world. One possible motivation for limiting national or international involvement is to avoid being drawn into what they may perceive as undesirable conflicts for them and their web sites.

    There are many small groups of devotees, followers, international and national students as well as individual devotees who would like very much to serve the world by allowing them to participate in Lord Chaitanya’s Hare Krsna movement in it’s original form. However due to the ever expanding Hare Krsna movements isolationism a great deal of damage has been done. The world they were sworn to serve they have willingly scattered, banned and denied more people than the original post November 1977 false gurus ever did. At least those people had a chance to become Hare Krsna devotees. Being rightfully indignant about all of the devotees having been banned in the post November 1977 we should ask ourselves “Where are all the replacements”?

    If one would like to start up a small Hare Krsna preaching centre in any town or village there are no fully active web sites to support their non isolationist endeavors. They are essentially on their own and effectively incommunicado especially from senior Prabhupada disciples. So who can they refer their students to when more informed philosophical or other instructions are warranted? Just reading the books is not enough for fledgling Prabhupada disciples and students, comradery is the key element, or personal association. If no one on line will communicate with them in a timely fashion, if at all, where do they go? With open hearts who can they report their successes and failures to? In due course all of those senior devotees who espouse this nonsense of Hare Krsna isolationism will die off with their small groups along with their web sites. Those others that they have helped form into the same isolationist mentality will most certainly muddy the waters of the original mission to the point of desecration.

    Isolationism of any portion of the original mission brought to us by Srila Prabupada is contradictory to Srila Prabhupada’s original instructions. It is actually in opposition to those instructions. It is discriminatory to leave out or ignore anyone regardless of their station in life. Now as a result of this continuing isolationism the simple understanding of not being this body is denied the world. With just that understanding millions could be saved. It has been said that to deny the absolute truth to anyone is tantamount to soul killing. Book distribution sites and selective philosophical discussion sites must contain viable personnel to assist those searching for the truth.
    The result of this isolationism in the Hare Krsna movement will be many generations of lost and abandoned peoples. Many of those future generations could well ourselves.
