A quiz for you (1)
Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2010-10-02 · 11 answers
In 1972 Srila Prabhupada received one letter from the black devotees in Cleveland who wished to start their own ISKCON Center independently of the white devotees there.
What Srila Prabhupada wrote the local GBC? What instruction Srila Prabhupada
gave him?
Here are three choices; you can choose one (only one is correct), the one
you think is what Srila Prabhupada said:
A. "This is nonsense, our mission is to free the conditioned souls from the
bodily concept of life."
B. "If we accept such proposals our movement will eventually become spoiled
in the future."
C. "We should not discourage them in any way from opening their own center."
So, what is your choice, A, B or C? Choose one and comment why if possible...
No googling please... :)

Nice quiz, I would fairly say its all of the above then Srila Prabhupada explains. But I Can'b4t say.user [343] · 2010-10-05
Its a trick question/quiz... it never happened, no one advanced enough to start a temple would ever present that question to Srila Prabupada LOL...But then again far more outrageous thinks have happened in Iskcon. If it did happen I would say (c) because Im thinking Srila Prabhupada was a very educated person, he knew the tyranny the black Americans had suffered under the whites so what is the harm as long as they are worshipping Krishna, if they keep it up they will be purified and reach a higher level of consciousness.user [38] · 2010-10-05
This case is found in Vedabase. I looked it up (after voting :).user [343] · 2010-10-05
Wow ok so now we know it really did happen and its in the vedabase (it aint just a database its a vedabase! LOL) so the question this raises is, did they go out and start a temple?user [616] · 2010-10-05

None of the above;-) Actual text of the letter to the GBC in 1972:
"I have just received one letter from the black devotees in Cleveland who wish start their own ISKCON Center independently of the white devotees there. In principle, it is all right, birds of a feather will flock together. We should not discourage them in any way from opening their own center, but I want you to go there and see how their things are going on and that the standard of Krishna consciousness is being maintained on the highest level."
