Conscientious Objection and Vaisnavism
Posted May 25, 2004
I believe that Varna Ashram Dharma (VAD) has two basic underlying principles - that the strong should protect the weak, and that there is a place for everyone and anyone from which they have the possibility to advance in Krsna Consciousness. Further, I believe that being a Vaisnava is transcendent to VAD and is not, as it seems to be commonly thought, some fifth Varna.
I will address issues of Conscientious Objection (CO) within the context of VAD. To address it from the perspective of Vaisnavism is to a degree irrelevant. Imagine a 2 dimensional line drawing, with social and maritalstatus as coordinates. That would be like VAD. Now, let's take some crayons and do some coloring. The coloring transcends the drawing. The color would be like Vaisnavism. It transcends VAD. VAD is like the setting for the jewel of Vaisnavism.
Lord Chaitanya says:
"I am not a brahmana, I am not a ksatriya, I am not a vaisya or a sudra. Nor am I a brahmacari, a householder, a vanaprastha or a sannyasi. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krsna, the maintainer of the gopis. He is like an ocean of nectar, and He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He is always existing with brilliance. "
Chaitanya Caritamrta Madhya 13. 80
Sometimes it seems devotees use this verse as an excuse to ignore VAD, but that is missing the point. It is not about rejecting these distinctions but seeing beyond them. For instance, I play soccer (futbol). So I might say "I am not a goalie, I am not a defender, I am not a midfielder or an attacker. Nor am I a player, an official, a field keeper or a coach. I am an American. " This is not rejecting being a soccer player, but it means that I have a life that is broader than that acted out on the playing field. Neither does it mean that being an American is some position on the field other than the ones described. Everyone one regardless of position can be an American (or European or whatever). What I have done is describe in detail an aspect of my reality while putting it into perspective with my largerreality.
I believe if you look closely at the exchange between Krsna and Arjuna, ultimately he is encouraged to fight, not because his arguments are incorrect, but because as a ksatriya they don't apply to him.
It is better to engage in one's own occupation, even though one may perform it imperfectly, than to accept another's occupation and perform it perfectly. Duties prescribed according to one's nature are never affected by sinful reactions.
One's occupational duty is prescribed in Bhagavad-gita. As already discussedin previous verses, the duties of a brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra are prescribed according to their particular modes of nature. One should not imitate another's duty. A man who is by nature attracted to the kind of work done by sudras should not artificially claim to be a brahmana, although he may have been born into a brahmana family. In this way one should work according to his own nature; no work is abominable, if performed in the service of the Supreme Lord. The occupational duty of a brahmana is certainly in the mode of goodness, but if a person is not by nature in the mode of goodness, he should not imitate the occupational duty of a brahmana.
Bhagavad Gita 18. 47
It is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another's duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to followanother's path is dangerous.
One should therefore discharge his prescribed duties in full Krsna consciousness rather than those prescribed for others. Materially, prescribed duties are duties enjoined according to one's psychophysical condition, under the spell of the modes of material nature. Spiritual duties are as ordered by the spiritual master for the transcendental service of Krsna. But whether material or spiritual, one should stick to his prescribedduties even up to death, rather than imitate another's prescribed duties. Duties on the spiritual platform and duties on the material platform may be different, but the principle of following the authorized direction is always good for the performer. When one is under the spell of the modes of material nature, one should follow the prescribed rules for his particular situationand should not imitate others. For example, a brahmana, who is in the mode of goodness, is nonviolent, whereas a ksatriya, who is in the mode of passion, is allowed to be violent. As such, for a ksatriya it is better to be vanquished following the rules of violence than to imitate a brahmana who follows the principles of nonviolence.
Bhagavad Gita 3. 35
If it is said that Vaisnavas should be COs, or the opposite, that they can't be, both positions are wrong, IMHO. Arjuna brought forward arguments that were valid for a brahmana. Krsna rejected them, not absolutely, but relatively for Arjuna's circumstance. His duty was different. A Vaisnava can always be a Vaisnava in any circumstance, but a brahmana should act as a brahmana and a ksatriya as a ksatriya. Clearly, there is a tradition of CO in VAD, but this does not invalidate those who follow the military path. Not does the fact that some Vaisnavas take up arms invalidate some one else from following the path of a CO.
The politics of why there is a war is not the business of soldiers. They have to do their duty. Arjuna made political arguments why the war shouldn'tbe fought, but Krsna brushed them aside, and told him to do his duty. As citizens, we have a right, and perhaps even a duty, to become involved in politics to prevent unjust wars. A soldier after becoming again a citizenalso has that right, but while on active duty it is inappropriate for a soldier to take into consideration the politics of the war. It is also inappropriate for the citizens to not support those soldiers, both materially and from a morale perspective, while they are at war.
Ksatriyas protect from material danger, brahmanas protect from spiritual danger, both needed, both essential parts of the team, but both with different duties. Just as it would be inappropriate for a ksatriya to not fight in the military, it is also inappropriate for a brahmana to fight. As Vaisnavas, hopefully we can grasp this distinction. We may not be able to have the same expectation of the US government if it enacts a draft. We need to be thinking about protecting brahmanas from such a possible draft.
Which brings me back to my original (still unanswered) question: What is the history of ISKCON and its interaction with the draft boards? It would be much easier to build on a preexisting tradition of devotee COs than start from scratch. I have some vague memory that there was a book called The Handbook of Krsna Consciousness that was printed for the purpose of getting devotees deferments. Anyone who got a deferment on the basis of being a devotee or has knowledge of how the process worked for devotees could do some service by sharing.
Another service devotees could do would be to support our Vaisnava soldiers who are in the war zone. I took the liberty of emailing Jaya Govinda and got this response:
"i would appreciate it very much. receiving letters or packages from devotees would be a huge relief from the daily grind of life in iraq. pretty much anything is ok to send, as long as it's not perishable. i have tons of trail mix, so that's something i definitely don't need, but anything else is great"
My daughter-in-law just returned from Iraq and I know that even letters are greatly appreciated. Physical letters even more than e mails. Sending to an APO (Army Post Office) address costs the same as if it were mailed to an address in the USA. If you do decide to send a package, it is necessary to get a customs form from the Post Office and submit with the package (not needed for letters).
I have received a donation of a box of vegetarian jerky (from the devotee company named Primal Spirit in New Vrindaban that sells them) to send to him. Also some maha prasadam from Sri Sri Radha Vrindaban Candra. Bear in mind that it can take 2 weeks or longer for a package to be delivered and it will arrive in hot weather.
I know there is an ISKCON prison ministry. Maybe someone could set up something similar for devotee soldiers to collect addresses and coordinateor solicit donations. Until then, individuals can send directly to Jaya Govinda.

A district attorney prosecutes cases on behalf of the public. District attorneys manage the prosecutor's office and play a central role in investigating charges, deciding whether to charge someone with a crime, offering plea bargains, and litigating appeals. They also advise parole boards on inmate requests for early release.
District attorneys maintain records on current and former cases. Many of these records are available online and open to the public. This site can help you access the records you need from a district attorney.

In this paper, an experimental methodology is described to assess the structural strength of unreinforced concrete armor units (CAUs). The methodology is applied to measure the structural integrity under impact loads of the new Cubipod CAU compared with the conventional cube CAU. The casting systems and clamps are described for manufacturing and handling the 15-t conventional cubic block and 16-t Cubipod prototypes used for the drop tests. Two separate reinforced concrete platforms were used for overturning and for free-fall tests, respectively. Compared with conventional cubes of similar size and concrete strength, Cubipods withstand drops that are more than 50% higher. Two extreme free-fall tests confirmed the structural robustness of Cubipod armor units. Manufacturing cycle time, as well as storage and handling procedures, are similar for both Cubipods and conventional cubic blocks. © 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Shuga - the cool Kenyan movie about sex - takes New York by storm
Shuga - the cool movie about sex which has become a major hype in Kenya - was shown and discussed at UNICEF in New York. And our darling Lupita Nyong'o participated in the event.
Now, that's all well and good. But we don't need to show this movie in New York, it needs to be screened all over Kenya and all over Africa!
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is assessing the effectiveness of Shuga in changing behaviour within its target audience. Well, let me just say that there is no need to do this assessment, we already know it is effective, believe me. So please just show this movie anywhere, everywhere, anytime.
And I am also of the opinion that Shuga should go for the Oscars! Do you agree?

In 2010, Tim founded his second company, Point of Care Decision Support (PCDS), a healthcare software company which focuses exclusively on building chronic disease clinical decision support (CDS) software for use at the point of care. Tim is determined to bring a different perspective to the medical apps field by combining validated evidence-based medical research with industry-standard best practices which currently include asthma and anticoagulation therapies.
The goals for future success are to continue innovating within the healthcare space with the PCDS Dynamic Decision Support Platform - focusing on "total patient health risk reduction".

Mining, power pull down industrial growth to 10%
A sharp decline in mining and power sectors slowed down industrial growth during May 2006 to 10 per cent.india Updated: Jul 12, 2006 12:54 IST
A sharp decline in mining and power sectors slowed down industrial growth during May 2006 to 10 per cent as against 10.8 per cent in the same month of the last financial year.
But the manufacturing sector retained its momentum to grow with the same rate of 11.3 per cent during the second month of 2006-07, compared to the year-ago month, according to the data released by the Central Statistical Organisation on Wednesday.
Mining sector growth declined to 3.0 per cent as against 5.2 per cent in May 2005, while electricity plunged to a mere 4.7 per cent growth from a strong 10.5 per cent in May 2005.
The strong performance in manufacturing sector pulled the overall Index of Industrial Production marginally up to 9.8 per cent during April-May of the current fiscal as compared to 9.5 per cent in the corresponding period of 2005-06.
Manufacturing shot up by 10.9 per cent in April-May this fiscal from 10.3 per cent last fiscal. Electricity growth was lower at 5.3 per cent compared to 6.7 per cent and mining production rose by only 3.2 per cent as against 4.0 per cent in the same period of last fiscal.

It must move, not wallow. The characters need to be vivid, the dialogue convincing. Above all, something must happen. This need not be a grand event, but some change must take place: an event, a revelation, or perhaps an insight. Please do not submit your story until you have polished and revised it multiple times. A great short story changes the reader. I look forward to being changed.

The Future of Your City | Part 6 of 9
Thank you for tuning in today.
The City of Manitowoc's main priority under my administration is Economic Development. This includes working with current businesses, aggressively seeking grant dollars for growth throughout our community, looking for new business opportunities, and an open line of communication with City Hall for our businesses.
I think this is a turning point in the city for economic development and growth. I truly believe we have a bullish economy and we have many opportunities for growth. We've spent the past 100 years focused on Mirro and the Manitowoc Company – and solely on manufacturing. Now is a perfect opportunity to shift our focus to the many local businesses we have that are doing very well, and new industries, like health care.
Forefront Dermatology anticipates adding 300 jobs in Manitowoc over the next 5 years.
Skana Aluminum continues to do well and is planning major investments into their facility in the near future. This has been a huge success story since I was first elected in 2009. A few days after Anheuser Busch announced they were closing down, I met with the owner of Skana who wanted to purchase the old Koenig and Vits plant and start the rolling mill back up. Today, they have 150 employees (double what koenig and vits had) they start positions at a minimum of $15/hour.
Tramontana just purchased the old Orion manufacturing plant and will be announcing great news over the next few weeks.
R2H is building a facility in the Industrial Park at this very moment. They plan on creating 25 jobs.
Kaysun added 30 jobs throughout the last year.
Federal Mogul has already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into their facilities and plans to continue that growth and add jobs.
Tender Reflections just opened in Manitowoc with 30 skilled nursing jobs.
Orion continues to have positive outlooks for growth and just announced 30 new jobs.
Broadwind Towers continues to receive major contracts for work, and just recently announced it has booked more than $250 million in tower orders so far this year, as the wind energy sector invests heavily in new projects.
Northern Labs has billboards all around the city looking for people to hire.
Kerry just announced this week that they have purchased the former Foster Needle facility and plan to expand and grow their business in Manitowoc.
When first elected, I made a conscious effort to visit as many local businesses as possible. I continue to do this with every opportunity I get. From this came the Annual Mayor's Business Roundtable that typically gets 100 people/businesses in attendance. This is an opportunity for City Hall to come to you. I require each Department Head to attend so business leaders can speak directly to my staff.
In 2015 we created the Community Development Department (formerly Planning Department) and hired Nic Sparacio to lead our efforts on economic development for the city. If you talk to any business owner they will tell you that Nic is open to listening to their concerns and aggressively finds ways to help.
Throughout the years it has been my goal to find synergies amongst the various groups we have that deal with economic development. Most notably the Chamber, Progress Lakeshore, and the Manitowoc Area Visitor and Convention Bureau. These conversations continue and I look forward to making a concerted effort to join forces under one brand for our community.
The Mid-Cities Mall and former Elks Club site has great potential for growth and development. We are currently working on a site plan for the entire area which will be announced in 2017. My staff and I meet regularly with the owners of all these properties.
MPU water and electric rates have decreased since I was first elected in 2009. This is one of our greatest assets and a huge perk for businesses to locate here.
In 2013 we created a policy to allow land to be sold in the industrial park for free if a business locates there and creates X number of jobs. A few businesses have already taken advantage of this program.
The city has an excellent record of providing low interest revolving loan funds to businesses for growth. There are many businesses that have taken advantage of this already.
Finally, we have aggressively sought Federal and State grants over the past 8 years and we continue to look for additional areas to find grant funding to offset local costs. Just last year we received $2 million in Harbor Assistance dollars for the Carferry dock replacement. $1 million EPA revolving loan fund grant. $250,000 for the Schuette Building. $113,000 from WEDC for Mirro assessment work. $800,000 in EPA assessment grants. $700,000 in principal forgiveness for upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Facility, and $3 million for sheetwall in the Manitowoc River.
Economic Development is our top priority and these are just a few examples of businesses that are investing in Manitowoc, and areas that local government is assisting.
Until next week, Thank you.

The Reds are currently third in the Premier League and Suarez is confident that they can claim a Champions League qualification spot.
"We're doing well right now but we need to carry on that form into the Christmas period," the 26-year-old forward told Match.
"I think our best is yet to come, which hopefully means well for the end of the season and our chances of making next season's Champions League. That's one of our aims.
"It's good to be playing well and contributing with goals but the most important thing is getting three points every week. I wouldn't be scoring without the help of my team-mates, so thanks to them."

The start of the 2017-18 Premier League season is just around the corner and is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet.
As always it is the so called "big clubs" that have splashed the most cash in the transfer window so far this summer. Manchester United or City? Arsenal or Tottenham? Who are the winners and losers of the transfer window so far?

A huge thanks to Iain for taking the time to post these fab pictures and report for those of is who could not make it
The Event sound like a rather grand title but it was an event in every meaning of the word. Over the Weekend I tried to capture in photos the story of the show from set up to take down. Admittedly it's my own personal view but I think it captures the social occasion that it was. This is what I got.
