How to train your dragon prostitute....
.
Indeed, "spectacular! A must do"

Recently I was at a center in Canada and I came out of the main temple hall after the lecture
and saw there was a stall promoting this on the Sunday programme, taking donations from
the people attending and I saw the brochure which was meant for eliciting donations and I
took exception with that. I had a bit of an argument with person who was promoting that
programme because the brochure had the heading was “I am powerful” and this was the
message that Susmita Sena who is a Bollywood actress, which if we are to speak frankly and
in the language that Prabhupada used, which is not at all appreciated with in ISKCON today
but she is just a prostitute, to put it straight forward. So she had come to the school and her
message to the children, to the girls especially was that, “You should think I am powerful, I
can change the world, you get an education and you can change the world.” It’s totally
mundane feminism and as I told this person, devotee or whatever, who is collecting for that,
“This is not Bhagavad Gita philosophy. This is Hiranyakasipu philosophy I am powerful. I
can change the world” So he said, “Well you have to see, they are making them devotees.”
But what devotees with this kind of attitude? The devotee doesn’t think, “I am powerful, I can
change the world.” This is like I say Hiranyakasipu’s philosophy, kartaham, I am the doer.
So this is … I am just giving an actual example of how in the name of distributing prasada
and then he started of with distributing prasad to the poor people then he got into other
kinds of welfare work and this is willingly promoted with in our society as something very
good.

The school organized a drawing competition on the
 21st of July, 2011. The theme was "I am powerful". The children from grade I to X participated in it. The judges were Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi who were to come the following day. The children made beautiful and artistic drawings that enchanted the minds of everyone. Since in was an open ended theme, the children came up with quite different and unique ideas of power.For some mother was the most powerful, for others nature was powerful and yet for others  God was the most powerful.This competition allowed them to pour their minds on a piece of paper. This also gave us an insight of how much education has changed these children. Now they can also say "I am powerful". Their colourful efforts got attention of everyone along with Vivek and Priyanka. The winners were chosen and the result is yet to be declared. | |
