			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/illuminati.jpg"><img src="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/illuminati-150x150.jpg" alt="illuminati stuff" title="illuminati stuff" width="150" height="150" class="left size-thumbnail wp-image-6972" /></a>Sunday morning. I woke up and checked out PlanetISKCON only to be greeted with the amazingly nasty description of Hugh Heffner&#8217;s sex life (Ugh!) as posted by Pandu dasa via Bhakta Corey&#8217;s blog of ever-changing and wildly irrational rantings (<a href="http://oppositerule.govindapeacefarm.com/?p=793">here</a> and <a href="http://harekrishnadiary.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-all-porn-is-gay.html">here</a>).</p>
<p>The main point seems to be that if you change the definition of homosexuality to mean &#8220;promiscuous sex&#8221; then a whole lot more people are gay than before. </p>
<p>Since this argument really makes no sense at all, I&#8217;ll not refute it and just allow it to defeat itself.</p>
<p>The post then goes on to bring &#8220;Illuminati bankers&#8221; into it. They used Playboy Magazine to destroy the institution of marriage. See, Illuminati bankers &#8220;own the major cartels and control the media through advertising.&#8221; I think I sort of dozed off there because blaming &#8220;Illuminati bankers&#8221; for stuff is almost as logical as changing the definition of homosexuality to prove your point. </p>
<p>And what is the point? I think it&#8217;s that all porn is gay porn. To prove the point, they use their definition of &#8220;gay.&#8221; It&#8217;s convenient and fun! </p>
<p><a href="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/straitjacket_new1.jpg"><img src="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/straitjacket_new1-150x150.jpg" alt="Bhaktipada?" title="Bhaktipada?" width="150" height="150" class="right size-thumbnail wp-image-6973" /></a>By the way, all cookies are chocolate chip cookies because I&#8217;ve just changed the definition of &#8220;walnut&#8221; to mean &#8220;tiny bits of chocolate.&#8221; Same goes for snickerdoodles. The illuminati bakers are controlling the Keebler elves and the lunatic is on the grass. </p>
<p>Pandu, seriously now. You really believe this stuff? That illuminati bankers are destroying marriage via Hugh Heffner? As far as conspiracy theories go, that&#8217;s quite a stretch.</p>
<p>And you do realize that you can&#8217;t actually change the definition of words to prove a point, right? That&#8217;s typically considered bad logic and you pretty much automatically lose your argument. Bring the Illuminati into it and you not only lose, but it&#8217;s pretty much time to be fitted with a straight jacket. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sponsor A Brahman To Substitute For Your Ekadasi Vigil</strong></p>
<p>During the American Civil War, the rich folks who were conscripted into the army could pay someone to take their place. Often, they would be paying a what was termed a &#8220;bounty jumper,&#8221; a &#8220;professional&#8221; who would take their $200, join a regiment only to almost immediately leave in order to collect another rich guy&#8217;s bounty. Some would do this over and over, even though it was highly illegal. These men were seen as the lowest of the low. Bounty jumpers were more likely to receive the death penalty than typical army deserters. Neither side tolerated such behavior.</p>
<p><a href="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ekadasi.jpg"><img src="http://sitproperly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ekadasi-225x300.jpg" alt="Bounty jumper for Krishna" title="Bounty jumper for Krishna" width="225" height="300" class="left size-medium wp-image-6964" /></a>Similarly, a company calling itself <a href="http://www.art4krishna.com/products/70/sponsor-a-brahman-sponsor-a-brahman-to-substitute-for-your-ekad.html">Art 4 Krishna</a> is offering the richer (and lazier) practitioners of Krishna consciousness the chance to pay them a bounty to follow Ekadasi (fasting from grains and beans) so they don&#8217;t have to. </p>
<p>And, like the bounty jumpers, they are collecting their <del>$200</del> $125 (there&#8217;s a sale going on) and moving onto another individual with the desire to be cheated out of their money.</p>
<p>This is something that I would have written for the Hing. When I first saw it, I thought it was satire and really, I wish it were. </p>
<p>They claim that in the book <em>Hari Bhakti Vilasa</em> allowance is made where if you can&#8217;t follow Ekadasi, a brahman can do it for you. It is customary to give a donation for such a service. </p>
<p>However a donation is a far cry from charging a fistful of cash and spiritually bounty jumping.<sup><a href="http://sitproperly.com/2009/08/29/bounty-jumpers-for-krishna/#footnote_0_6963" id="identifier_0_6963" class="footnote-link footnote-identifier-link" title="Not actually spiritual.">1</a></sup></p>
<p>This cannot be stressed enough: if you are collecting a wage, stipend, set &#8220;donation&#8221; for something that you believe is spiritual &#8211; its not. You are receiving zero spiritual benefit because it&#8217;s not actually a spiritual act, it&#8217;s an act done for monetary gain. You are simply cheating in the name of Krishna. </p>
<p>This Art 4 Krishna nastiness is the text book definition of cheating. It really <em>is</em> bounty jumping and these spiritual bounty jumpers are the lowest of the low. </p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t Krishna consciousness. It&#8217;s modern Hinduism and gross materialism under the guise of spirituality. I&#8217;m sorry to see that it&#8217;s come to this.</p>
<p><em>*Edit &#8211; it should be made clear that this really isn&#8217;t bounty jumping *for* Krishna. It&#8217;s bounty jumping for money (not Laxmi). It&#8217;s just bad ol&#8217; fashioned greed.</em></p>
