A cynical slogan, “all for one and one for none,” surfaced in the 70’s and was indicative of fanatical adherence to a spiritual leader or authoritarianism over love and trust. Today there is a great deal of talk about positively reinforcing devotees’ sense of bonding in their families and spiritual communities, and specifically developing love and trust. HH Bhakti-tirtha Maharaja and HH Radhanatha Swami have established these principles as part of the working ethos of the Gita-Nagari and Chowpatty temples. Purnacandra prabhu writes about this in a book called, “Unspoken Obstacles on the Path to Bhakti,” and the Innertain TV team dramatized the phenomenon poignantly in their video of a drama produced and directed by Gauravani prabhu, entitled “Burnt Ladhu.’ There is much evidence throughout the Vedas where Lord Krsna Himself emphasizes this principle. Here is a verse from the Srimad Bhagavatam: “With the dust of My devotees’ lotus feet I desire to purify the material worlds, which are situated within Me. Thus, I always follow the footsteps of My pure devotees, who are free from all personal desire, rapt in thought of My pastimes, peaceful, without any feelings of enmity, and of equal disposition everywhere.” (Srimad Bhagavatam,11.14.16)
