An example of keeping the tradition, the seriousness of the message, teaching through the example of "guru". "Mangala Arotik with Balakhilya das" 1. The picture shows Siddhaswarupananda, not Balakhilya das. 2. In the central part of the altar there is also a photo of Siddhaswarupananda. The central place in the incomplete line of succession.

And now another act of geopolitical drama is unfolding. Tulsi Gabbard did not want the USA to be a world gendarme. USA is leaving Afghanistan. The Taliban takes the place after the USA. Those unloved by SIF Muslims. Well, but so far they are not behaving so badly. The question is how they will treat women. Was it in Tulsi's plan?

The presidency of Tulsi Gabbard was also supposed to be "God's plan". "Hey boys, she accepts an abortion." "Don't be offensive, she is God's best servant, you don't understand the motives.

Most religious groups have an offer of salvation in their doctrine. Exclusive salvation. The Catholic Church as an institution of salvation. In the case of SIF, it is also a group of exclusive salvation. According to their own narrative.

The vinayapradhana process is understandable. In Poland, it would be associated with the practices of mortification in old convents, e.g. women. In order to wean or punish worldly sense temptations or to avoid possession, one must humiliate oneself. In this process, ther must be the one humiliating and the other - humiliated. The former humbly assumes the function of humiliating, and the latter h

One of the tricks of cult and leaders such as Midgett is the "judging is an insult" narrative when something different is differentiation, valuating, and judgment. Another way is through the narrative of forgiveness. You must forgive.
