- Urmila Devi Dasi is a senior Vaishnavi, disciple of Srila Prabhupada, PhD in Education, and traveling preacher. Join us as we discuss the topic of spiritual organizations --their challenges, forms, and how they relate to the Hare Krishna community.
Hare Krishna! Thanks for this fascinating and intelligent constructive conversation about Spiritual Organizations. Mother Urmila Prabhu is a shining example of positivity within iSKCON. Her points about decentralization are very potent. So many other valuable angles of vision were presented that one could listen to this podcast multiple times and receive inspiration for the future of ISKCON. 🙏🏼 Pranams to You both.
Thank you both for this. I think the analysis is bold and brilliant. And it's an essential discussion. The next few times I listen, I'll be taking notes.
How did it take me so long to hear this episode. Fully missed it. She is beautiful Vaishnavi ! Amazing presentation. Urmila devi ki!
So much food for thought. Thank you Namarasa for facilitating and big thanks Urmila prabhu for giving us 2 hours of your time
Thank You Mother Urmila for all your service to Srila Prabhupada and very wonderful points you made in this podcast. It reminds me of the 10th canto, chapter 23 of Bhagavatam. This story essentially says the brahmanas were part of the FRIVOLOUS BUREAU OF INTERROGATORS (F.B.I) whereas the wives of the brahmanas were part of the FAITHFUL BHAKTINS OF INTEGRITY (F.B.I). In other words, the brahmanas were "THE APPOINTED ONES" whereas the wives of the brahmanas were 'THE ANOINTED ONES." The moral of this pastime: BHAKTI supersedes BUREAU.
Great interview. Fully agree with Urmila mataji.
very illuminating discussion. Thank you Namarasa Prabhu and Urmila Mataji :) loved the organizational models and deep dive into the topic of organizational models and development
Thanks for this discussion. Great insights and analysis from Urmila Mataji. 🙏
Thank you mother Urmila..... Very wonderful to hear :)
What a great talk! So interesting from the beginning to the end. Thanks 🙏🏻
At the 1 hour mark Urmila Mataji talks about a devotee that has an online Bhagavad Gita course and makes money at it! This is something that my husband and I could easily do because we were both initiated decades ago and have studied Srila Prabhupada's books ever since. However, I always understood that making money off of preaching was WRONG! Therefore we seek out secular jobs and preach in our spare time. Could you please do a podcast about vocations and businesses that are suitable for devotees and how we can market Krishna consciousness without offense? A deep dive, not just have everyone should open a Govindas.
Selling Vedic knowledge for money is a great sin.
@@samspade2657 Exactly! Why do people think that this is okay?!
@@shalini_sevani Because like Urmila dd they are ignorant of Vedic culture. Western mentality is to monetize everything. Also in ancient times there were paid teachers but this was hghly criticized in Dharma sastra. Few people want to actually dive deeply in Krsna's Vedic culture without giving up their material conditioning. If you watch his other videos you see a lot of examples of this. I don't have any hpe for the future of ISKCON because they don't want to follow directive to implement VAD.
@@samspade2657 so, all teachers should work for free, and eat for free, and live rent free, and gurus should not have kids…right?
Money is very important. If there is no money, there will be no DHARMA.
1:16:20 the point about paying as much attention to management structure instructions as we pay to whether it not we should dress the deities up as Santa clause is brilliant
A very helpful interview. I really appreciate Urmila prabhu's clear analysis of current problems in Iskcon's administration. Thank you Namarasa prabhu 🙏
Thank you for your comment! 🙏🏽
25 minutes in, what a blessed life, so nice to hear didi share how she joined the temple
Her father's support makes me cry, so beautiful
Hare Krishna 😊
Excellent talk. Important & relevant food for thought to transform into action. Thank you
📚 The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations
thank you for this
Thank you
Centralisation will kill Prabupada's movement! Stop with this agenda who ever is supporting this idea!
It is somewhat sad that they can't make devotees anymore. No more students and educated people are becoming Vaishnavas. It is now all about bringing Russian people out of Siberia to better locations. Filling up the empty temples in Western Europe and the US with imported devotees from the slums of 3rd world countries. Bringing Indian graduates to the rich Western industrialized nations. Bas preaching complete. Preaching of we are not this body and bhakti rasa is no more.
Golden age? Thought that started WITH Mahaprabhu
Can you start selling that cup as authentic podcast merch?
just imagine if all the money pumped in to one temple all the litches of the movement would try to be in the head of it and loot everyone, already so many things goes on
Can you describe it more through some example like where and what things are going on ?
Starting a Sirius XM station, prabhus? Om Tat Sat!
And she wants to be a diksha guru.
Not any more. 😊
Jugglery of words that's all! Does she met Prabhupada?
Yes probably more times than you so be respectful!
