This letter is the introduction to the package of my five papers. FROM: Suhotra Swami c/o ISKCON Abentheur Germany Date: 21 September, 1996 TO: All attendees to the GBC Social Development Conference Dear Maharajas, Prabhus and Prabhvis, Please accept my most humble obeisances - all glories to Srila Prabhupada! Herewith I submit for your kind consideration five papers on the need for social development in ISKCON. My focus is on philosophical and moral fundamentals. It is my basic contention that the issue of our development as a society is inseparable from the issue of our system of morals (i.e. our ethics), and that in turn is inseparable from our philosophy. |
