Oh, these are great! Finally something other than Mr Sharma.
Krishna is so cuuuute. I also love the saintly defeated Shiva under Kali's foot. Look at the skulls and the cut off demon head in Kali's hand!

Also Buddha is surprisingly nice to look at, meditative. I don't often find Buddha images attractive.

The cut off demon head has Vishnu tilak. She knows what to cut. Good girl!

Yes, a very good girl, she is carrying out and going beyond the injuction of Shastra in that........

Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya 1.218:

"When all of the devotees saw the mercy of the Lord upon the two brothers* they were very much gladdened, and they began to chant the holy name of the Lord, "Hari! Hari!

* Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana Goswamis

BHAKTIVEDANTA PURPORT:

..................A mundane person in the dress of a Vaisnava should not be respected but rejected. This is enjoined in the sastra (upeksa). The word upeksa means neglect. One should neglect an envious person. A preacher's duty is to love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, make friendships with Vaisnavas, show mercy to the innocent and reject or neglect those who are envious or jealous. There are many jealous people in the dress of Vaisnavas in this Krsna consciousness movement, and they should be completely neglected. There is no need to serve a jealous person who is in the dress of a Vaisnava. When Narottama dasa Thakura says chadiya vaisnava seva nistara peyeche keba, he is indicating an actual Vaisnava, not an envious or jealous person in the dress of a Vaisnava."

I was disturbed by that quote when I read it for the first time (just recently). So polarizing. "How could a society hold together if everyone suspects each other of being envious", I thought. But then it was like "hey Prabhupada, you're right, and that's one of the reasons I got the hell out of there".

Even major leaders, I found, could become envious just by my making a half-reasonable living. By working HARD.

I think Prabhupada had his own version of the word "envious", meaning envious of Krishna.

You are envious of Krishna if you want something that Krishna has, and therefore we don't need to follow:
sannyasis with a harem of groupies.
sannyasis with a harem of young boys.
sannyasis busy collecting money, bank accounts and valuables
sannyasis who want to be glorified and served
sannyasis, and others, in general that want any of Krishna's opulences

Prabhupada says that all those should be ignored.

Those sannyasis or gurus that want nothing but Krishna; those are the ones we should listen to.
Those who have Krishna's name, and therefore have everything and want nothing.

I don't see ISKCON going in that direction.
