Do you think I am talking to you, or him, or maybe them over there.....
No, I am talking to any haters, who offend Devotees.
I was at a Goverdhan Puja ceremony (two actually) last week. One at the Hindu Temple, they celebrate Annakat, and then at an ISKCON home program, where the host is Non-Sectarian....
He invited me over on Friday night, then impressed upon me his anxiety about his house being dirty, so I offered to "help" clean.....
I started in his private bathroom, then moved to the other, then the floors, kitchen floors, Vacumed his carpets, re-arranged his alter, to take off all the demi- gods and arrange a more ISKCON alter since one Brahmachari was coming....
After I cleaned, the host decided to Grade me, and I got a B. He informed me that I didn't do the windows! So I cleaned his Mirrors
He even called me a "Bitch" because I was acting offended......
The Bramachari insisted that I be Tolerant and Patient, my question for him was Witch one......he said, BOTH.

The brahmachari was right of course, but having been in similar situations I can appreciate the difficulty. I try to understand that Krishna is kindly showing me my own lack of humility when faced with such treatment, but to be honest it's definitely not the first thing that comes to my mind. :)
