Srila Prabhupada PROMISES to take us back to Godhead‏

**newrule

760307SB.MAY                   Lectures
Even the devotee or the servant of Krsna says something,
even it is wrong, Krsna upholds this
. Kaunteya pratijanihi na me
bhaktah pranasyati. So even it is wrongly done, still, Krsna fulfills
because He thinks that “My servant has promised; it must be
fulfilled.”
 Therefore Prahlada Maharaja, in the previous verse he has
said, tava bhrtya-parsva. So to serve the servant of Krsna is better
than to serve directly Krsna
, because if the servant of Krsna promises
something, if the servant of Krsna says, “I’ll take you to Krsnaloka,”
you must go there. ……

SB 4.21.31 P  Lord Sri Krsna also says in Bhagavad-gita that simply by surrendering unto Him one is immediatelyrelieved of all sinful reactions. As Krsna takes away all the sinful

reactions of a person immediately upon his surrender unto Him, Continue reading →

The Vedas give us a simple two step formula of how to live ones human life‏

**newrule

Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
For those who want a very simple formula for how to approach and live ones life, here it is-2 things only…
The Srimad Bhagavatam, which is considered the ripened fruit of all Vedic literature states quite clearly..
SB 1.2.10  Life’s desires should never be directed toward sense gratification.
One should desire only a healthy life, or self-preservation, since a
human being is meant for inquiry about the Absolute Truth. Nothing
else
 should be the goal of one’s works.
►69-03-06.Ray              Letter: Rayarama
Keep your health in good condition and work very hard for Krishna.
   That is our motto of life.

Krsna tells us” Among Seasons, I am flower bearing Spring”‏

**newrule

Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and  Bhagavan Sri Krsna
It is spring time outside now and everything is bursting out of mother earth. Krsna tells
us in His Bhagavad Gita that among seasons, He is flower bearing spring-and the pictures below
help us to appreciate that fact.
below is  system cleansing springtime  Rhubarb-This one plant purifies our bodies and flushes
out undesirable things acquired during winter time.
SB 7.7.22 P   Within the earth are the fragrance of roses, the
taste of sweet fruit, and whatever else we want.
 As stated in
▼Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.10.4), sarva-kama-dugha mahi: the earth (mahi)
contains all our requirements.
 Thus the objects of sense perception
are all present in bhumi, or the earth
. The gross material elements
and subtle material elements (mind, intelligence and ahankara, false
ego) constitute the total material energy.

Sage Markandeya’s Predictions for Kali Yuga

 Sage Markandeya’s Predictions for Kali Yuga

The following translation of Mahabharata (Book 3, Vana Parva, Markandeya Samasya) is taken from the century old unabridged version by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. We have updated the English. –Ed.

King Yudhisthira said, “O foremost of all speakers, O Muni of Bhrigu’s race, that which we have heard from you about the destruction and re-birth of all things at the end of the yuga is wondrous indeed! I am filled with curiosity, however, in respect to what may happen in the Age of Kali. When morality and virtue will come to an end, what will remain? What will be the prowess of men in that age? What will they eat, and what will be their amusements? What will be the period of life at the end of the yuga? What also is the limit, having attained which the Krita Age will begin anew? Tell me all in detail, O Muni, for all that you are narrating is varied and delightful.”

 

Thus addressed, that foremost of munis Markandeya began his discourse again, delighting that tiger of the Vrishni race and the other sons of Pandu as well, saying, “Listen, O monarch, to all that has been seen and heard by me, and to all, O king of kings, that has been known to me by intuition from the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. O bull of the Bharata race, listen to me as I narrate the future history of the world during the sinful age.

Reply to Rocana Dasa on his COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING of BOTH the Guru and Ritvik Issue

**newrule

 
This is a REPLY to Rocana Prabhu on his COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING of BOTH Guru AND Ritvik Issue:
 
77-07-09.All Letter: All G.B.C., All Temple Presidents
The name of a newly initiated disciple should be sent by the representative who has accepted him or her to Srila Prabhupada, to be included in His Divine Grace’s “Initiated Disciples” book.”
Note Srila Prabhupada’s SECRETARY entered the names in the His Divine Grace’s “Initiated Disciples” book.” It did NOT require VAPU(physical) presence of Srila Prabhupada to do this menial task.
July 7, 1977, Vrndavana
TAMALA KRSNA: YOU KNOW THAT BOOK I’M MAINTAINING OF ALL OF YOUR DISCIPLES’ NAMES? SHOULD I CONTINUE THAT?
PRABHUPADA: HM.
TAMALA KRSNA: SO IF SOMEONE GIVES INITIATION, LIKE HARIKESA MAHARAJA, HE SHOULD SEND THE PERSON’S NAME TO US HERE AND I’LL ENTER IT IN THE BOOK. OKAY Continue reading →

Jayadvaita Swami’s “Then it is alright” argument defeated

**newrule

by Ajit Krishna Dasa

On BBT International’s website we find this video:

Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlqbnzzL_28
In the video Jayadvaita Swami say:
”I went back and re-edited especially the translations in the first canto. Especially the first perhaps three chapters where I thought their were a lot of short comings. And I typed up all the translations – after I finished all the work, I typed up all the translations in one manuscript and put them in an envelope, and Prabhupada was coming to New York where I was at the time. Prabhupada came, and I put all the translations in an envelope, and I wrote a cover letter explaning what I have done, and asking him whether it was okay. And then I brought it up to Prabhupada’s quarters at 55th Street in New York–the New York temple—with the idea that I would leave them with his secretary and come back later. But Prabhupada was right there, and so he…I offered obeisances, and he had me, you know: ”What do you do in here?” ”What have you come for?” Not in those words, but, you know, he inquired was I was doing. And I explained that I had come to deliver this. So Prabhupada had me start reading right in his presence. And I began, I read the first verse, the second verse, the third verse. Continue reading →

“Mendacious Tamohara” – The newbie GBC chairman

**newrule

by Ajit Krishna Dasa

Recently, the ambitious corporate climber, Tamohara dasa/GBC Chairman, posted on ISKCON cheerleading­­­ website a deceptive letter addressing the devotees and the temples, where they should purchase their books. He is attempting to self-righteously clamp down on distribution of the ORIGINAL Srila Prabhupada`s Bhagavad-gita on the pretext that it is not authorized by Srila Prabhuapada`s created BBT.
The purpose of ‘his’ letter is based on their (GBC) need for continuation of intentional ‘dumbing down’ of naïve devotees that is unfortunately based on complete lie and deception that most of rank and file devotees are not aware of. GBC/BBTI wants to completely control and systematically undermine Srila Prabhupada created ISKCON, BBT and his real teachings which are based on pure devoti­­­­­onal principles.
Their lie and deception is twofold;
1) Firstly, after Srila Prabhupada`s departure they fraudulently and secretly incorporated their own private BBT called BBT INTERNATIONAL, that illegally replaced Srila Prabhupada`s BBT in their attempt to usurp total control and to put a stop to distribution of original Srila Prabhupada`s books. Replacing them with their own revised editions that was mentally contrived by Jayadvaita swami aka Jay Israel.
Within this fraudulent BBT INTERNATIONAL (as per FORM TX – For a Literary Work – United States Copyright Office Registration form) Srila Prabhupada is not even mentioned. In point 2 of the form the ‘NAME OF THE AUTHOR is given as – The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. There is no mention of Śrīla Prabhupāda as the author of the Bhagavad Gītā As It Is. Why? “
This opens up a Pandora’s Box of questions… Continue reading →

ISKCON Truth re Revisiting the May 28t 1977 so-called appointment tape‏

**newrule

https://prabhupadavision.com/2012/04/tape-original-analysis/
https://prabhupadavision.com/2012/04/may-28th-appointment-tape/

May 28th, 1977 “appointment tape” fraud

Verified by National Audio Video Forensic Laboratory
The Governing Body Commission [GBC] of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness [ISKCON] has, since December 1977, falsely claimed that eleven leaders had been “appointed as gurus” on May 28th, 1977, and that this was supposedly confirmed on an audio tape [commonly referred to as the “appointment tape”].
However, the “National Audio Video Forensic Laboratory” in Los Angeles says: “In conclusion, the recording exhibits strong signs suggestive of falsification.”
The GBC’s audio tape “evidence”: the so-called May 28th “guru appointment tape” is an “edited” mish-mash, “strongly suggestive of falsification,” and is “consistent with EDITING procedures wherein WORDS are ELIMINATED or REARRANGED to CHANGE the context of what is said.” read: criminal fraud.
Note: Norman Perle was given a copy of the original from the archives, he does forensic audio work for the FBI and police, so we trust his work over others. There is splicing an the tape for the simple reason, the conversation is too choppy. There are missing tapes, that is also for sure. In any case, the tape does not appoint anyone, no names are given. Also consider “on my order”you become guru, yet no order is given to anyone, what to speak of 11? Srila Prabhupada said, that all of his disciples will take the legacy. That quote defeats anyone claiming to have been appointed.
This forensic lab of Norman Perle does work for big law firms and he agrees: This tape has been edited and it would never be accepted as evidence in a court of law. The GBC may have the original, we are told, but why was an edited tape forwarded and not the original–in the first place? Why are there many missing tapes from this period of time also? Why was the poison tape hidden, and a bogus appointment tape forwarded? Why are there tapes talking about putting in sewer pipes on a land project, they are preserved, but what the GBC alleges is the instruction how to run ISKCON for the next ten thousand years, is an unacceptable “edited” tape? Who edited this tape? Why are tapes missing? We shall be discussing this more, but just wanted you to know, the authority for leaders to become gurus in ISKCON is based on a falsified piece of evidence. In sum, it’s a lie. Why do they say that liars–are gurus?
