A comparison between the Burmese “nectar drink” and modern vaccines

What you will read below may be shocking to some. And it is meant to be shocking for especially those who have already had a vaccine shot or are thinking of getting one or two or more…..

And over and above all this information is the main proof that the Lords pure devotee Srila Prabhupada himself said– NO to vaccines. 
 
https://harekrishnasociety.org/?s=vaccinations+injections

 
March 6 1974 Mayapur conversations

Prabhupāda: And in Burma, my GuruMahārāja opened a branch. So when they were frying puri, the, nice ghee, all the tenants, “Oh! What you are…!?” (laughter)They cannot tolerate.But in Burma, there is a preparation which is called nafi. The nafi means that a, a big jar will be kept on the door, and whatever animals, insect, cockroaches will die, they’ll put in that.And during rainy season, it will be filled with water.And it will be kept for years. Then… And the bad smell was so terrible that if somebody would open the lid, it will immediately create very bad smell.So after some years, they will strain the water and keep in bottle.And when there is festival, they’ll supply it in small… That is called nafi. And they’ll take it very pleasantly.And when they were frying ghee, “Oh! What you are doing, this?!” 

 
 
Want to take one of the Moderna or Johnson and Johnson Vaccines or Astra zeneka  vaccines???

Here is what is in them
 
 
So if you think this Nafi “drink” is disgusting (which you should) then take a look at what actually goes into these vaccinations that are injected into your body.
To list a few-
*tissue from  aborted fetuses,
*genetically engineered human albumin,
*The measles and mumps viruses are cultivated in cultures of chick embryonic cells while the growth medium for all three viruses contains fetal bovine serum.

 If I can go and serve Kṛṣṇa within a minute, why shall I wait for one hour?-SP

April 20 1976 Melbourne conversations
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They take that spiritual life is negation of anything that they’re doing now, no more money, no more anything.
Prabhupāda: For our personal comfort, we, our students are lying on the floor. They are not using the money for purchasing nice furniture. No personal comfort. But if you say that “You are purchasing big, big car,” yes, for going quickly to serve Kṛṣṇa. Our service is main point. If I can go and serve Kṛṣṇa within a minute, why shall I wait for one hour? So we take all advantages. After all, it belongs to Kṛṣṇa. They say that “We have manufactured.” That’s all…. But we say that Kṛṣṇa has manufactured. So they…. This philosophy, it is little difficult to understand by the dull men, that nothing is without Kṛṣṇa. Everything…. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam [Īśo mantra 1]. Sarvam, when we say sarvam, how we can exclude this and that? Everything is in relationship with Kṛṣṇa, sarvam. Sarvam means everything. So how can you discriminate, “This is material; this is spiritual”? The discrimination is that when it is not used for Kṛṣṇa, that is material, and when it is used for Kṛṣṇa, that is spiritual. That is the explanation of sarvam. Just like a thief has stolen my money. The money will be utilized. He’ll spend it. I am spending, and he is…. Then why he’s criminal. If you plea…. If you present this plea that “Money’s for spending, so either you spend or I spend…,” but that is not the idea, that the money…. My money means the money should be spent for my purpose, and because you have taken the money and spending for your purpose, therefore you are criminal. That is the distinction between material and spiritual. Money, or everything, belongs to Kṛṣṇa. When it is utilized for Kṛṣṇa, this is spiritual, and when it is not utilized for Kṛṣṇa, that is material. Where is the difficulty to understand? You cannot say that “Yes, I have taken your money, so you are also spending. I am also spending. So why do you call me a criminal?” The answer will be: “Yes, you are not spending for me. You are spending for you. Therefore you are criminal.” Is it very difficult to understand?

Vedic statements dont change unlike modern scientists

June 4 1976 reporter interview LA
Reporter: I think I covered most questions that I wanted to in the interview. Did you say that somebody would be transcribing?
Rāmeśvara: Yes, I’m going to arrange to have it transcribed.
Reporter: Because there are a lot of things that I couldn’t catch, just because I’m not atuned to hearing you, so a lot of words I did not understand. But…
Rāmeśvara: I’ll arrange for that.
Reporter: OK.
Rāmeśvara: You’ll get it tomorrow.
Reporter: Oh, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
Prabhupāda: Thank you. [break]
Rāmeśvara: Just like there is this one point that the scientists say something which everyone in the world believes, but you are saying something different. So he was very interested…
Prabhupāda: No. Ahh…. I…
Reporter: Well the Vedic scriptures say that.
Rāmeśvara: Yes, the Vedic scriptures…
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: …something different.
Prabhupāda: The thing is, that is practical. That scientifics statement given today, and after few days it is changed.
Reporter: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Then if I say “What is the value of such statement if you change it?” That is my point. And so far Vedic injunctions are there, you don’t change. What was given millions of years ago, that we carry.
Reporter: Thank you very much.
Rāmeśvara: Thank you, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)

ASURAS IN THE DRESS OF SANNYASIS EVEN EXPLAIN BHAGAVAD- GITA AND SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM IN DIFFERENT WAYS

SRILA PRABHUPADA SPEAKS OUT-

 “ASURAS IN THE DRESS OF SANNYASIS EVEN EXPLAIN BHAGAVAD- GITA

AND SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM IN DIFFERENT WAYS

ACCORDING TO THEIR IMAGINATIONS.

THUS, THEY CONTINUE TO REMAIN ASURAS BIRTH AFTER BIRTH.”

mauṣala-līlā, āra kṛṣṇa-antardhāna

keśāvatāra, āra yata viruddha vyākhyāna

mahiṣī-haraṇa ādi, saba—māyāmaya

vyākhyā śikhāila yaiche susiddhānta haya

mauṣala-līlā—the pastimes of destroying the Yadu dynasty; āra—also; kṛṣṇa-antardhāna—the disappearance of Kṛṣṇa; keśa-avatāra—the incarnation of the hairs; āra—also; yata—all; viruddhavyākhyāna—statements against the Kṛṣṇa conscious conclusions; mahiṣī-haraṇa—kidnapping of the queens; ādi—and so on; saba—all; māyā-maya—made of the external energy; vyākhyā—explanations (countering the attack of the asuras); śikhāila—instructed; yaiche—which; su-siddhānta—proper conclusions; haya—are.

Translation

Illusory stories opposed to the conclusions of Kṛṣṇa consciousness concern the destruction of the Yadu dynasty, Kṛṣṇa’s disappearance, the story that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma arise from a black hair and a white hair of Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, and the story about the kidnapping of the queens. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu explained to Sanātana Gosvāmī the proper conclusions of these stories.

Bhagavad Gita As It Is 1972 Macmillan Edition

is the only “REVISED AND ENLARGED” edition

“You know how much I am anxious to see this enlarged edition of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is printed and also we are being requested for this book from all parts of the world, so everybody is also anxious.” [Letter to: Advaita—Bombay,17 April, 1971]

I was very happy to receive the new edition of Bhagavad gita the make-up is very nice. Every time I see a new publication of my books it gives me so much enthusiasm that my life is increased by 100 years. Thank you for helping me so much. [Letter to: Ramesvara Prabhu—New Delhi, 27 November, 1975]

POTENCY OF MACMILLAN EDITION: ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA PROVES THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL TO SPREAD KṚṢṆA CONSCIOUSNESS ALL OVER THE WORLD BASED ON THE BHAGAVAD GĪTĀ AS IT IS (ONLY 1972 EDITION)

There is a great need for spreading Krishna Consciousness all over the world based on the Bhagavad gita As It Is. We have been successful in this attempt. I am very well known to Dixitji Goswami of Bombay. He likes very much my movement and my books. I am very much grateful for your contribution of so many books on Vallabh Sampradaya and also the framed pictures. They are being kept in Delhi, and when I return to Vrindaban via Delhi, I shall see them. [Letter to: Srinathji Temple—Mayapur, 11 October, 1974]

THE AUTHORIZED EDITION OF BHAGAVAD-GITA WILL HELP TO STOP THE TERRIBLE CHEATING OF ‘GURUS’ AND ‘YOGIS’ WHO ARE FALSE AND UNAUTHORIZED.

Letter to: Svarupa, Ranadhira

Mayapur-3 February, 1976

Los Angeles

The reviews have very much encouraged me. Especially those of Prof. Bhatt and Prof. Vajpeye. I have personally written a letter of thanks to Dr. Bhatt, that he has so much encouraged me. Dr. Vajpeye’s review we are going to print and widely distribute, especially in Bombay and Madras, where there is so much propaganda from these bogus gurus and yogis. He has got practical experience of how they are cheating the innocent people in foreign countries and he has written; “The authorized edition of Bhagavad-gita will help to stop the terrible cheating of ‘gurus’ and ‘yogis’ who are false and unauthorized.

———————————————————————————————————–

PROOF THAT ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA WAS SATISFIED WITH THE LAYOUT AND PAINTINGS OF THE BHAGAVAD GĪTĀ AS IT IS AND THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO CHANGE THE PAINTINGS

My Dear Jadurani, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letters dated 30th May and 1st June and have noted the contents carefully. I have received all the photographs of the paintings for the enlarged edition of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, and they are so very beautiful. Everyone here is so much appreciative of all you artists. All of you have my full blessings and your godbrothers’ congratulations. Krishna will surely bless you all. Thank you very much.

[Letter to: Jadurani—Bombay,8 June, 1971]

I have seen the layout proposal for the first pages of our new edition of
Bhagavad-gétä As It Is and it is fully approved by me. I shall immediately write one preface to the enlarged edition as you have requested and send it as soon as possible.

[Letter to: Satsvarupa—Surat,19 December, 1970]

———————————————————————————-

DESIRE OF ŚRĪLA PRABHUPĀDA TO PRINT A “REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION” OF BHAGAVAD GĪTĀ AS IT IS TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT

Regarding Bhagavad-gitä manuscript: If you have got two copies then you can send one to Janārdana. Otherwise you have to send him a copy only, and keeping one copy with you. Because in future I am thinking of publishing a revised and enlarged edition of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. You know that we have to cut short the book because the MacMillan Company wanted within 400pages. So, you know that the majority of the verses in the back portion of the book were not given purports. Therefore, in our next publication we shall give purport for all the verses. * So, you should keep one copy with you before you send the manuscript to Janardhan. [Letter to: Rāyarāma—Hawaii ,6 March, 1969]

The first volume of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam can be printed if it is composed. From second Canto they are printing chapter-wise. That is alright. So otherwise whatever is already composed KṚṢṆA, volume 2; Bhagavad-gītā AS IT IS, revised and enlarged edition; Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, first Canto; etc., anyone of them may be printed. [Letter to: Brahmānanda—Los Angeles,19 June, 1970]

Regarding the printing of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, I have already advised you in my last letter dated 19th June, 1970, not to make contract. We shall continue to print Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam chapter wise on ISKCON Press and when all the chapters are there we shall bind them together. The next book we shall print in Japan will be KṚṢṆA volume II and maybe Bhagavad-gītā AS IT IS—Revised and Enlarged Edition if composition is finished. KṚṢṆA volume II is almost ready now. [Letter to: Brahmānanda—Los Angeles, 25 June, 1970]

You may immediately resume your former activities and work the press according to your best ability because I am very eager to see our own press printing the majority of our publications. The first thing now should be the printing of the new, enlarged edition of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. That will be a great boon to our Movement. Letter to Advaita—Surat, 19 December, 1970]

Please let me know the right information by return post. You know how much I am anxious to see this enlarged edition of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is printed and also, we are being requested for this book from all parts of the world, so everybody is also anxious. [Letter to: Advaita—Bombay,17 April, 1971]

Faithful means he knows that “Everything belongs to master, and everything should be utilized for master’s pleasure, not for my pleasure.” Then he’s a thief, he’s a bad servant.

May 3 1976 fiji conversations
 
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It’s become the fashion of world…
Prabhupāda: Fashion? Your fashion, kick on the face! No fashion! (devotees laugh) It is a science. It is not the question of fashion, a false faith, belief. These are all rascals. Science is science. Two plus two equal to four. That’s all. There is no question of “I have no faith in this. I say five!” That will not be accepted. Two plus two equal to four. It is neither five nor three. If that truth is there, then there is faith. “God is this, and sometimes God is this”—that is no understanding of God. You must have clear understanding of God.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: What is the quality of a person who is actually faithful?
Prabhupāda: He’s accepting eagerly Bhagavad-gītā if he’s really follower of God. Because there is nothing extraordinary in the Bhagavad-gītā. It is the words actually for God to speak. You may call Kṛṣṇa or otherwise, but…. Just like sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam [Bg. 18.66]. This can be said by God only. Otherwise who can say that “You give up everything; surrender unto Me”? It can be said by God only. Either you talk of Hindu or Muslim, but ask one that “If God says, ‘You surrender unto…,’ will you refuse?” Let him become Muslim or Christian. So nobody can refuse the order of God. That is faithfulness.
Guru-kṛpā: Śrīla Prabhupāda, why are there so many pseudo religions then?
Prabhupāda: There is no religion! This is the only religion.
Guru-kṛpā: Then why do they mingle at all? Why do they even get involved?
Prabhupāda: Therefore we say that one who has no faith in God, he’s a rascal, miscreant.
Guru-kṛpā: But they pretend.
Prabhupāda: Pretend? Kick them! Why you should accept pretension? Then you are a fool also. You say “pretend,” and still, you have to talk about them. That means you are also faithless. Why should you talk about the pretension? Pretension is pretension. That is faithlessness. Sometimes they pretend honest, but he’s a thief. What is this philosophy? Thief is thief. That’s all. [break] …thoroughly the science of God. That is Bhagavad-gītā. The words which is spoken in the Bhagavad-gītā, that can be spoken only by God. Nobody else can speak like that. Who can say? Who has the right to say that “You surrender unto Me”? Nobody has right. Only God can say. That is God. [break]
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Enviousness is caused by sense gratification.
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Enviousness is caused by sense gratification.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: And in the Fifteenth Chapter of the Seventh Canto, in one verse you mention that enviousness can be given up if one gives up the tendency to sense gratification.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So we see sometimes that the Māyāvādīs, they have perhaps given up the affairs of this world, but still, they remain envious, inimical towards Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Then?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: So, how…
Prabhupāda: What he has given up? (laughter) What he has given up? You say he has given up; what he has given up? “I have given up everything, but I remain proprietor.” What is this, given up? There is not, no “given up.” The contradiction’s there. One who has given up, what he has given up? He has not given up his personality. Then what he has given up? In Bengali it says that rasamba sataya chaibe tyāga,(?) (indistinct) that “In the room, whatever is there, it is yours. But I lock it, I keep the key.” (laughter) (Bengali) “I have given up.” What you have given up? You have kept the keys. So we have to accept that he’s given up? This is another foolishness. [break] So the first question will be, “You rascal, what you have got in your possession that you are giving up? If you have something, then you can give up. What you have got, first of all tell me. You haven’t got anything. Even this body is not yours. As soon as God will kick you, you have to go out. Then what is yours? You say ‘I have given up.’ What you can give up? Nothing is yours.” That is rascaldom: “I have given up everything; I kept the key.” From here, for a few days we are walking. And while going, if I say, “Now this land I give you,” where your land? Where you possess this land? This is like that. What you can give up? What is yours? You have nothing. This is nonsense. “I have given up.” First of all, prove what you have got. If you haven’t got anything, then what is to give up? This is all nonsense.
