As a global community, ISKCON should be especially sensitive to others during this time of crisis. As believers of “not this body, but spirit soul”, ISKCON devotees should be careful not to stigmatize others based on their race, age, gender, or health. Being kind, magnanimous, equal, clean, steady, respectful, and friendly are but some of the qualities of a devotee. We should take these qualities to heart and practice them thoughtfully, especially during a time of stress and chaos when the mind can easily become disturbed. |
