Of course, these two rhymes must be apologized, for what I do. One should also take into account the influence of a bad relationship (matriarchy) on party mentality and wrong selection of mantras. Or chanting them in the right mood or stage. Especially the Maha-Mantra and Gayatri-Mantra issues.

If you ask me if I recognize candidates who carry the hierarchy concept or actively support it by express expectations to engage into "their" projects after decentralization (not now, several years ago) - at the top or somewhere more in the middle - yes. Were there any controversies related to these candidates regarding "illicit activities"? - yes (not all).

An important phenomenon to describe is also deep internalization of the idea of hierarchy in the group, concepts, habits, attachments, from which it is not easy to break away later. Habit is present both in hierarchy activists and low-level sheep. I will give an anonymous example that shows the effects. Let's say we have a 3rd generation recruit sheep.

Again: QuoteSrila Bhakti Vijnana Bharati Gosvami Maharaja "Guru maintains a disciple in two ways: through affection and through chastisement (lalana and tadana). Lalana means giving affection and tadana means to discipline or chastise, which is another aspect of affection. If it is one-sided , then the affection is not complete – it will only be 50%.
