Fossils: Why So Harsh?
Subhadra-mayi devi dasi answers Ujjvala dasa

Dear Ujjvala Prabhu,

ISKCON is in the state it is because no one dared to point fingers at sannyasis and leaders. Quite a few (ex) sannyasis have done many wrong things and dealt with others in dysfunctional ways. What's wrong with pointing that out?

It's scary to see that some people still think one cannot point an accusative finger at a sannyasi. After all the blunders in this movement...

Saying that, regarding this salagrama issue, I don't see where Bhaktavatsala Prabhu was accusing Vipramukhya Swami. He was just making an important point. So I don't really understand what invoked the harshness in your letter.
