Informed Giving and Istagosthi
Posted October 4, 2003
"Trust and informed giving" is a very well written article, but I can't
wait until you folks stress Istagoshi on your informative website. I am
an older devotee who truly believe in Istagoshi, not only debates and
verbal discussions, but with actual devotee voting rights on all new
ideas and even on all appropriations. After all, devotees are the ones
who collect the laxmi and do the work so why can't the learn to
intellegently vote and have the same majority ruling system within any
temple? We already have Srila Prabhupada books and if he didn't want
Istagoshis then he wouldn't have repeatedly mentioned them throughout
his books as well as in his letters.
