Why our Indian sanyasins are eager to fly foreign countries? Did they complete their teachings in India ?

Question

When a lot of people in India require proper guidance in religion,and clarifications our kashaya dharis are more concerned about NRIs .why for money or fame?

Answer 1

No they have not even started their teachings in India. They take the sanyasi-ship as a profession and want to maket their profession, professionally. They make religion into neat packet, with attractive cover, and market it professionally. There are more rich buyers abroad, than here in India. In india the teaching are not worth much, but abroad they make a neat amount.

Answer 2

I kind of agree with what Aum said above me. But I want to clarify something. You said 'many westerners' and separated out the Indians. Here in the UK, westerners does not refer to one group of people. I am not born in India, but I am still Indian. The culture here is more multicultural and I personally take that as an advantage to learn about other cultures, and learn to mix with other people no matter what religion, colour, ethnicity they are. Isn't that also part of the Indian teachings? :)

Answer 3

They are not sanyasi's they are businessmen. Secondly, India is not about religion. It's all about culture.

They cannot earn as much money in India as they can in the other countries. A true sanyasi won't leave from a place until he can completely reform it.

God bless you...

Answer 7

See the purport to (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.25.13 by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
The tract of land south of the Himalaya Mountains is the land of India, which was known as Bharata-varsa. When a living entity takes birth in Bharata-varsa he is considered to be most fortunate. Indeed, Caitanya Mahaprabhu has stated:
bharata-bhumite haila manusya-janma yara
janma sarthaka kari' kara para-upakara
Thus whoever takes birth in the land of Bharata-varsa attains all the facilities of life. He may take advantage of all these facilities for both material and spiritual advancement and thus make his life successful. After attaining the goal of life, one may distribute his knowledge and experience all over the world for humanitarian purposes. In other words, one who takes birth in the land of Bharata-varsa by virtue of his past pious activities gets full facility to develop the human form of life. In India, the climatic condition is such that one can live very peacefully without being disturbed by material conditions. . . . But at present, compared to other countries on earth, India is artificially disturbed. Despite these material disturbances, however, the country's culture is such that one can easily attain the goal of life—namely salvation, or liberation from material bondage. Thus in order to take birth in India one must have performed many pious activities in a past life. . . .Vedic culture is full of knowledge, and a person born in India can fully take advantage of Vedic cultural knowledge and the cultural system known as varnasrama-dharma. Even at the present time, as we travel all over the world, we see that in some countries human beings have many material facilities but no facilities for spiritual advancement. We find everywhere the defects of one-sided facilities and a lack of full facilities. A blind man can walk but not see, and a lame man cannot walk but can see. Andha-pangu-nyaya. The blind man may take the lame man over his shoulder, and as he walks the lame man may give him directions. Thus combined they may work, but individually neither the blind man nor the lame man can walk successfully. Similarly, this human form of life is meant for the advancement of spiritual life and for keeping the material necessities in order. Especially in the Western countries there are ample facilities for material comforts, but no one has any idea of spiritual advancement. MANY ARE HANKERING AFTER SPIRITUAL ADVANCEMENT, BUT MANY CHEATERS COME, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR MONEY, BLUFF THEM AND GO AWAY. Fortunately the Krishna consciousness movement is there to give all facilities for both material and spiritual advancement. In this way people in the Western countries may take advantage of this movement. In India any man in the villages, unaffected by the industrial cities of India, can still live in any condition and make spiritual advancement. . . . In this way one can take advantage of all the facilities of human life. We are gradually introducing this system in different centers in our Society in the Western countries. One who takes advantage of it becomes more and more enlightened in spiritual life. At the present moment, India may be compared to the lame man and the Western countries to the blind man. For the past two thousand years India has been subjugated by the rule of foreigners, and the legs of progress have been broken. In the Western countries the eyes of the people have become blind due to the dazzling glitter of material opulence. The blind man of the Western countries and the lame man of India should combine together in this Krishna consciousness movement. Then the lame man of India can walk with the help of the Westerner, and the blind Westerner can see with the help of the lame man. In short, the material advancement of the Western countries and the spiritual assets of India should combine for the elevation of all human society.

It is to be noted that Srila Prabhupada, at the age of seventy went to America on the order of his guru to spread the message of Sri Chaitanya who told that whoever born in India should spread the teachings of Lord Sri Krishna all over the world in order to benefit others. Within a span of only twelve years he established 108 temples, translated various Vedic scriptures into English, made lot of devotees etc. . .
