The Nitpicks vs. the Ritviks
BY: GEORGE A. SMITH
Aug 05, 2010 — CALIFORNIA, USA (SUN) — In answer to Rasaprema's article, "Simple or Simpleton?", I am sorry prabhu, but to my mind it is better to worship the picture of a pure devotee than the person of a rascal and a fool. But that, it seems, is where the opponents of the Ritviks would lead us, into the acceptance of some ISKCON rubber stamp or some Gaudiya Math.
If Srila Prabhupada had thought any one of you qualified to accept disciples, he would have recommended you. But he didn't, and he didn't say we should, and he isn't here to say it now. But these alone are not your major inconvenience, for added to these are your respective histories, according to Srila Prabhupada in respect to the Gaudiya Math and according to you in respect to ISKCON.
There it is, look at it, it is a history of rascals and of fools.
So thanks, but no thanks, I'll keep my picture and continue to offer my love and devotion to the pure devotee of Krsna, Srila Prabhupada, who will never betray my trust and continue to be regarded by such poor unfortunates as yourself who have accepted some GBC rubber stamp or Gaudiya Math wannabe as a simpleton, or a fool.
Ys,
Bhakta George
