Do you like the new watered down version of Krishna.com?

Apparently the BBT trustees thought the old design was too "direct" for new people who visit the site.

http://www.krishna.com (new version)

Yes, why do you ask?

I ask because I have witnessed ALOT of feedback from visitors who write to the Livehelp service....mostly the response is negative, they like the more direct approach (as do I)....just wanted some feedback from here ;-)

We are witnessing a progressive loss of faith in the direct process of Krishna consciousness and more and more "indirect" ways to "please" and "adapt" to the public, resulting in misrepresenting our movement and people are not happy either.

Whatever happened to the straightforward purity of our approach...?

Leaders are responsible for that. As much as they taste the honor of success when there is, they must feel accountable for this sad phenomena and implement ways to go back to grassroots.

But, as the saying goes, I am OK, you are OK, or translated... If am OK everything else must be, so I don'b4t care.

Only thing we can do is try to set example individually, institution is too entangled right now.

One example to follow, official ISKCON Spain website done by www.iskcontech.com, made for devotees and newcomers alike:

www.harekrishna.es
