Christian Subversion And Missionary Activities - 4

[Husky]

Not that I think ISKCON has a remote chance there. But just on the topic of ISKCON and its effect on Indian muslims: from my going about on the web I've found that quite a number of Indian muslims entered through ISKCON and consider themselves Hindus now. Can't entirely explain this. (OTOH, Pakistan's Anwar Shaikh chose Mahendran as his Ishtadevam, ISKCON didn't have anything to do with Shaikh's opting for Hindu Dharma of course.)
Even after joining via ISKCON, they still appear to have the average Hindu idea about Krishna rather than ISKCON's outlook.

But please don't say things about Vaishnavas. (That 'please' is inserted largely on account of your having chosen a username that I am <i>highly</i> biased towards.)

Hindus have a right to be happy and if Hindus happen to sing and dance giddily in front of our Gods, I think they have the right. Why denigrate it and make light of it. Don't insult your own people and your own traditions. Hindus who are able ought to be defending their people and their way of life, to ensure that these simpler ways are preserved. Your grandmother may be such a person, you wouldn't deprive her would you? Not everyone is born a hero, so let those that can still enjoy simple happiness unencumbered keep to what little they have. Life is short. And the Hindu's life is made shorter still, so let them live it their way. We cannot lose Hindu traditions. Undermining life-giving Hindu traditions will shoot Hindus in the foot.

<b>Having said that though,</b> it is essential to promote whatever levels of Kshatriya mindset is dormant in all. And in the case of Vaishnavas (all Hindus in fact) the concerned Hindu can always point them to Gita's Karma Yoga and Krishna's advise therein on defending Dharma.
