Namaste, Considering the history of Curly Dave's bombing-lila, there are several elements that can be analytically distinguished. Element of war religious ideology - is an element of acceptance of blowing up an abortion clinic. An element of utilitarianism - Curly Dave's act fits with idleness. His sacrifice can be used.

Abortion (especially in late weeks of pregnancy), woman in politics etc. are controversial and contradictive to Gaudiya Vaishnavism. No doubt. As far as selling temple in Hawaii is concerned, i did not have this knowledge till 2017 or something. I do not remember anyone (i.e. Mr. Midget) telling us this information. What about second marriage - the teachings in SIF were that second marriage

So, when "Back To Tulsi" requires correcting next things. Interesting articles appear here trying to blur the reality. And that Tulsi Gabbard is not affiliated with SIF or claims that Mike Gabbard is a Catholic. In practice, it may not be known in the USA, but Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Gabbard visited Poland and SIF Poland a few years ago (now these are different groups, decentraliz

Maybe, quite many people from SIF,current and former members of SIF Poland (now decentralized) believe that Tulsi Gabbard will bring peace to the world with her shallow knowledge of Vishnuism and manipulative methods. In practice, this group - this tree gave a lot of bitter fruit. So this blind faith really puzzles me. Anyway, when we return to Tulsi Gabbard, what is funny is that the Wikipedi

I don't recall any official SIF Poland program aimed at providing work and retaining devotees in Poland to this day. Once I heard that it was rather the individual concern of Tapasya das.

There were strange situations, however, when one of the initiates

Thank You IanKoviak. I will relate to most of the issues later. For now quickly about Tulsi Gabbard. 1. According to teachings of Chris Butler, any action started in mood of passion or ignorance (rajas, tamas) will finally bring bad results, except situation - knowledge taken from Vedic filosophy - unless it is neutralized by a good sacrificial act. 2.
