Response to Danavir Goswami's Article on Sports
By Manjari devi dasi

Sports are a form of exercise. Exercise is good for the body. Exercise gives stamina and strengthens the heart. Perhaps Danavir Goswami considers himself so elevated that he doesn't need to exercise but most people who have a human body should exercise. There is nothing wrong with exercise. What is important is the consciousness we have when we exercise.

There are many Sannyasis with health problems, who have been advised to exercise as they get older. You have to work the joints of the body or else they get creaky. Osteoporosis and arthritis are just the few of the ailments that we get as we get older.

Get out there and do a bit of exercise, Danavir Maharaja! Your body will be better for it!

If you want to talk about gambling why not talk to all those devotees with their pyramid schemes to work with integrity and pay their taxes properly.

People who play on a sports team and learn teamwork learn to get along with other people. It’s very healthy.

Tell Danavir Goswami to focus on the unhealthy deceit of ISKCON like child molestation, pyramid schemes and corrupt sannyasis. They are a bigger threat than sports.

Leave the healthy aspects of sports alone!
