Head-boor, dravida das. No capital letters for him. Just see how it feels, prabhu…….
I wish to respectfully inform all ISKCON members who refuse to concede a capital letter to pronouns, possessives and others things directly related to Srila Prabhupada that they are ignorantly acting like boors of the worst kind, the head-boor being dravida das of ISKCON San Diego, California, USA. Still no capital for dravida. It is not found anywhere in Shastra that disrespecting the Acarya is the key to spiritual success.
Stanza 7 of Sri Sri Gurvastaka by Acarya Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura reads however as follows :
saksad-dharitvena samasta-sastrair
uktas tatha bhavyata eva sadbhih
kintu prabhor yah priya eva tasya
vande guroh sri-caranaravindam
The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bona fide representative of Sri Hari [Krsna]
Being misled by ISKCON, outsiders cannot be held responsible. ISKCON will have to assume responsibility for outsider’s offences.
Why is dravida das, all with small letters, the head-boor? dravida dasa is the head-boor because he maintains with all his strength and thus misleads the rest of the world that Srila Prabhupada wanted minimum capitals. Even that may be true, still stanza 7 of Sri Sri Gurvastakam applies. Srila Prabhupada tricked the foolish Jayadvaita and now Srila Prabhupada is tricking the dull and stubborn dravida. May be dravida das ate too much meat before becoming a devotee and we still find vestiges of meat-headedness in his brain. Whatever it is, Srila Prabhupada, pronouns and possessives and other things related to Him require a capital letter because of His position of equality with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is more than just qualitative equality with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which is shared by all living entities, including cats and dogs. This is like an equality of status, being “the most confidential servitor of the Lord.” Srila Prabhupada explains that, previously, when the viceroy came to India, he received the same honour and respect than the king himself because of being the representative of the king.
The same applies to pronouns replacing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And we actually find that Srila Prabhupada writes on the Original Transcript (OT) expressions like: the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who…….
Sorry folks, but the whole Bhagavad Gita As It Is requires re-editing in this particular respect and in general respect as well, a tough job for lazy and dull brains. Obviously this is ignorantly and big-time offensive to Srila Prabhupada and to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whence the fully justified use of the word “boor” in this context.
My Apple dictionary gives for boor
boor | bʊə, bɔː | noun, a rough and bad-mannered person: at last the big obnoxious boor had been dealt a stunning blow for his uncouth and belligerent manner.
“Uncouth” would be a synonym I suppose.
uncouth | ʌnˈkuːθ | adjective1 lacking good manners, refinement, or grace: he is unwashed, uncouth, and drunk most of the time. •
(of art or language) lacking sophistication or delicacy: uncouth sketches of peasants.
