Seems that the attitude of "go along to get along" has infiltrated Srila Prabhupada's Prabhupadanuga society, and I will make it my mission to help expose it and root it out....since very few are willing to even acknowledge it. Complacency is the festering grounds for weakness and idleness.
A good friend of mine, Kamsahanta das, gives the analogy... that this world is just like a theater or a stage, a great drama... and we are all playing our respective roles according to our nature, and like all great plays there is a Hero (Srila Prabhupada/the Pure devotee), his associates (his sincere followers), and a Villain (Kali/his associates) (anti-thesis of moral/saintly virtues)... and somewhere along the story there is a climax/ a resolution and the villain is defeated.
So ask yourself this, what role are you playing in this Prabhupada lila? Are you acquiescing with the villains and his associates by enabling their actions? Are you trying to work for some peaceful resolution with these villains who have usurped the pure devotees kingdom? Did Lord Rama try to be diplomatic and passive when Ravana usurped the chastity of his wife? No, he became like fire, like a lion... he gathered an army and marched into the eye of the storm, built a bridge and conquered the powerful demon Ravana. The examples are littered throughout vedic history and delineated throughout the Bhagavatam. So where has this attitude of "go along to get along" come from? This is NOT our philosophy.
We have been conditioned in this age of Kali, by our Rakshasha slave masters that to be a revolutionist is to be a terrorist, they have destroyed the Ksatriya spirit with metrasexualism and bred out all of the most basic skills of survival....I've seen grown men, unable to change a bloody tire, I've watched grown men depend on their women for sustenance...only to move on to another poor woman to feed off of. Where are the real men of virtue and ability? Dead... ? Bred out? Ridiculed by the sheep police into isolation?
If you have no ksatriya inclination, then just support those who do and condemn them-not, for performing their duties in the service of Srila Prabhupada's honor. This attitude of condemnation comes from Complacency and weakness and a poor understanding of our philosophy. We should not be apologetic for being angry at what has happened to Srila Prabhupada's movement, rather we should become like fire and organize and army to reclaim what was stolen...We cannot tolerate weakness any longer... Get fired up, Get motivated...
The pure devotee of this age of Kali is begging us to participate on his side, and the reward is inconceivable...

One Godbrother said to me upon reading this, that the devotee is showing enthusiasm and chivalry, but it is not realistic. My reply was that it is the mood which is important; that a new generation will take over and set things better. Srila Prabhupada told us not to compromise, so in that spirit, there is energy.
I like his vision; there is a long-term drama unfolding, we had best look at the big picture and choose up sides and do the needful. Those who stand long in this will be recognized by Sri Krsna as His soldiers, is my hope against hope and my life and soul.
