Actually that's highly disputable. I wrote according to the usenet
etiquette, under my real name and with a valid e-mail address, I used
logical arguments and with them I have shredded the hare krishna
teaching. That must feel painful and insulting, but that's your
problem, you're the one following a false system that doesn't lead to
God. If you have problems with the consequences of that fact, that is
to be expected, if I followed a false system founded by a fake, I
would feel very threatened by the reality, as well.

Actually that's just a part of it. You see, I know several things.
First, your system completely sucks. That's a fact that nobody managed
to even question, because the results are more than obvious. My
arguments were met with incoherent ranting and raving spiced with
aggressive insults. 
My question was: why would someone follow a system that sucks? There
are several possibilities. First, he might think that there's nothing
better around, and even if the system sucks, it's better than the
alternatives. Second, he might not realize that the system sucks,
because he himself sucks even more, and an abusive false system is
what he really needs to feel at home. That seems to be the case, since
most people who were interested in the truth have already found
something better than Prabhupada and his counterfeits of vedic
scriptures.
How to offer something better? I usually make a conversation and offer
alternative explanations. When I give better answers than my
opponents, those who are interested in the truth will know what it is,
very clearly, and others are none of my business, there's karma to
take care of their education. If none of you is interested in the
truth, I shrug and go elsewhere.
Why did I start arguing with a stupid and contradictory system like
hare krishna? Basically it's because the system is based on the best
materials in the world; Srimad Bhagavata Purana is the best material I
have ever had the chance to read (when I've managed to read it through
Prabhupada's disasterous translation), it actually starts where most
systems, like theosophy, end. Because of my respect for that text, I
was wondering if any of you guys knew anything about that stuff, about
the background that it brings up, but the answer is obviously
negative, you don't know anything, just like the Christians who took
the Bible and perverted the words of Jesus, who said great things, but
nobody really listens to them, everybody has his own picture of the
Bible in mind, and that picture is some sort of a holy cow. So, bow to
the cow, and remove every particle of reality from your minds, so that
it doesn't interfere with your precious spirituality.

Thank you, since you yourself said those things about me, I am
convinced that they are not the truth.

No, actually I'm here to annoy the devotees _and_ make some of the
smarter folks with doubts question some premises that they have taken
for granted.

:)

I choose the method of conversation suitable for the individual.

If you knew how a true teacher would act, you would be one.

I am a yogi. I had many teachers, but I have no guru besides God. God
is my foundation and reality of my existence. On that foundation I
will make the disciplic succession.

No, unfortunately not. The standard for becoming my student is far
higher than any of you people can hope for in this life. But I can
show you how the path feels like, if you want to listen, but you
don't. You are too arrogant to learn, because you think that you
already know.

>sure that you are dissapointed that you are not receiving the respect that
>you have obviously come to expect from other persons.  Poor Danijel!!!

I receive my reward and respect from the source of all. I got all the
confirmations that I could ever dream of. My cup is full and
overflowing. I did not come here to get anything for you, because if
that were so, I would really have to be a desperate creature.

No, the errors were too sophisticated. They were about the definition
of the absolute and the definition of the relative, and if your
philosophy stands, these are not errors, these are the cornerstones.
If they are seen as errors, the entire system is down. When I
attempted to point out the errors and rectify them, _that_ was atacked
as an error. That says it all.

I already know the truth, I have nothing to inquire. I also don't have
any reasons to be humble, why should I be, since I know how much I'm
loved by God? I humble myself before the source of all the beauty
which is my foundation, but false humility that you seek is not to be
found anywhere in my spirit.

>Your lack of humility disqualifies you from your claims of spiritual
>advancement

I'm not spiritually advanced. I'm the goal of the spiritual
advancement. I'm not a seeker. I have no doubts to be dispersed. I
have come to share the water of life from my well, but if you prefer
drinking urine, that's your choice.
