Dressed in their white gowns they came into the chapel with the Mother Superior and were about to undergo the ceremony to marry them to Jesus, making them brides of Christ.
Just as the ceremony was to begin four Hasidic Jews with yarmulkes, long sideburns and long beards came in and sat in the front row.
The Mother Superior said to them, "I am honoured that you want to share this experience with us, but do you mind if I ask why you came?"
One of the Hasdic Jews replied "We’re from the groom’s (Jesus) family"
This makes us recall the case of nuns in a court in Warsaw, Poland against ISKCON. Noting that the ISKCON is spreading it’s activities and gaining followers in Poland, a nun filed a case before a Judicial Magistrate praying that ISKCON should be banned because it’s followers are glorifying a Character called Krishna ‘Who was loose in morals, having married 16,000 Gopikas’.
When the case came up for hearing the ISKCON defendant requested the Judge to ask the nun to repeat the oath she has taken when she has ordained as a nun. The Judge asked the Nun to recite the Oath loudly.She would not.
ISKCON man asked the Judge whether he could read it out for the nun. The Judge said go ahead. The pledge was to effect that ‘she (nun) is married to Jesus Christ’ .ISKCON man said "Your Lordship! Lord Krishna is alleged to have ‘married’ 16,000women. There are more than a million nuns who assert that they are married to Jesus Christ. Between the two Krishna and the nun, who are loose characters"
The Judge dismissed the case and allowed ISKCON to go its way.
