Prabhupada: "What is religious fight?

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

 

Prabhupada: "What is religious fight? Religious fight means you have got right to kill your aggressor. If somebody takes your property, if somebody sets fire in your house, if somebody kidnaps your wife, or somebody is trying to kill you, they are called aggressor. So aggressor should be killed immediately. It is not that somebody has become an aggressor, and if I say, "Now I have become a Vaishnava, I'll not be violent. I shall tolerate. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taught us to be tolerant like the tree or the grass. So I shall become tolerant. Let him do." Just like Gandhi used to say. Somebody questioned him that "If somebody comes and violates the chastity of your daughter in your presence, what will you do?" He said, "I shall remain nonviolent." But that is not shastric injunction. This is foolishness."

"takes your property, if somebody sets fire in your house, if somebody kidnaps your wife, or somebody is trying to kill you, they are called aggressor. So aggressor should be killed immediately." GBCs; stole our properties, kidnapped our Deities, and killed our spiritual master and some Godbrothers and sisters also. They have not actually lit any physical fires yet, though there have been bombings, and our Godbrother Aindra in Vrndavana was likely burned to death by a booby-trapped room... but no proof on that one.

This mean on three counts out of four agressors... so what does Srila Prabhupada say ?

What he does NOT say," Oh Prrabhu, cant we just forgive and forget and let LOVE be our guide?"
