Pariprashnena — Q&A Archive

The rule on no blatant propaganda of any group or faction, does that mean just only on your site, or does that mean overall?

(Not saying I do it)

I do not understand the question. The idea is the VF is for devotees that want to serve Srila Prabhupada, regardless of affiliation, that means such "rule" must be there to avoid temptations to try to sell "my guru is the best" or "my particular stance is the only correct". Kinda devotional spam, :)

Is the rule only applied to your site, or should people who want to take part in the VF have to follow the rule everywhere? Like the four basic principles, which we have to follow all the time, is it like that?

As I said, there is a place for everything. If somebody wants to keep denouncing, the internet is vast. It is just for the sake of focusing on the particular VF mission.
The "rule" is not to make members to stop doing anything, but to try and center energies as much as possible at least in VF.

I feel love knows no rules. So love for Krishna ought to be beyond the ken of rules. Reminds me of a story from Ramakrishnas life:

Ramakrishna used to taste the prasad before offering to Mother Kali. Someone objected and said it was against convention and Ramakrishna said: I didnt know there were any rules when it came to worship; also how can I offer bad-tasting food to Mother? If its not good, I have to prepare again.

Anyway, each unto his own.
