The Importance of Arguing Logically
By Gaurav Mittal

The article of Atma-nivedana Dasa is very nice and correct. We need to understand other's viewpoint. I find that many CHAKRA writers starting attacking the other person instead of arguing logically.

Those people who disagreed with Danavir Maharaja started criticizing him instead of arguing with him on the basis of sastra, logic etc. Even from the material perspective, this is not a proper way of discussion. Also, from the spiritual perspective, it constitutes vaishnava aparadha.

I think many devotees need to read the book by Dale Carnegie - "How to influence people and win friends" to curb the tendency of criticizing others.
