Politics

When I used the word vulgar, in vulgar politics, I mean by that something which is of a low practice, like I said it,* to manipulate the people. That is what politics has become today. Real politics is good diplomacy and a discipline to bring healthy results to citizens

* While talking about Srutakirti dasa, Prabhupada's servant, I used this word in the comments, which I reproduce here.

His conclusion is: "We don’t need to be overwhelmed by stress and fear. The effects of ugra-karma can certainly be dispelled in our lives and in society. We can empower ourselves, refocus, and change our lifestyles through meditation – by chanting the unlimited holy names of God, which are spread all over the world."

I must say that there is no political analysis and that he, Sanaka, a Prabhupada's disciple, only repeats clichés such as can be heard during a Sunday's lecture before the Sunday Fest.

Beating the drum of the New Age dream, so dear to New Vrindavan members. They drive cars with no reverse gear. They learn nothing from the course of history. Sankirtana writes: "There are many types of demoniac leaders." 

While we were denouncing the community leader, Swami Kirtananda at the time, the members worshiped him heartedly as a king. That is not a metaphor. He keeps on writing:

 "Now is the time for people of faith and spiritual understanding to work together to reach out in friendship and loving compassion. Society, culture, and the arts are meant to bring people together and create a spiritual atmosphere, to connect us to a vibrant, living world and to the transcendent Lord residing within our hearts. Understanding the principles of dharma and the ancient teachings of Bhagavad Gita are steps toward a new enlightenment."

Here are the tags at the bottom of his article, and I notice that "politics" doesn't appear: bhagavad-gita , culture , economy , environment , iskcon , opinion , srila-prabhupada , Ugra-Karma.

Very strange, indeed 🤔
