Srila Prabhupada cooly waiting for His (with a capital H please) next flight.
Which airport? This info is available. Just research it with BBT. What an impressive picture anyway! The picture of God’s or Krishna’s emissary. Dictionary for emissary: a person sent as a diplomatic representative on a special mission. Fits perfectly. Srila Prabhupada looks supremely strong, confident and relaxed even though He is the Founder Acharya of Iskcon, a very heavy responsibility. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, the originator of the BBT and Back to Godhead Magazine and transcendental author of at least 80 top class books on self-realisation or atma tattva!!!
ONE: CHANT

1728 times at least without fail every single day of your life.
TWO: No intoxication.
THREE: No gambling.
FOUR: No meat eating, no fish eating, no egg eating and no onion and garlic eating.
FIVE: NO ILLICIT SEX means no sex outside heterosexual, civil and religious marriages and only for the purpose of procreation. Animals do that naturally and don’t need to be told, you silly! Of course they don’t get married :):):) So that is definitely the natural and progressive way.
SIX: Conquer the world with these principles.
End of rules. No more rules. Wonderful is it not? Who wants rules? No one wants rules. Everyone wants to be FREEEEEEEEEEEEE
These are truly the principles of freedom as confirmed Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT 2.64 by the arrogant misleader Jayadavaita:
“But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.”
Ref. VedaBase => Bg 2.64
Srila Prabhupada wrote in1974:
“It is all Krishna’s grace. Bon Maharaja had to go several times to get the Governor, but with one letter he has accepted our invitation. Our movement is being accepted. They are saying that Swamiji is doing nice things. So it is up to you Europeans and Americans to push it all over the world, and one day you will be the leaders of the world. It is not difficult. You just have to work sincerely and intelligently. Krishna will do everything.”
Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Saurabha: — Bombay 26 May, 1974
Furthermore notes on His Divine Grace Jayadvaita Swami (sarcastic mode).
His carefully calculated and rehearsed externally looking humble-pretence-show.
His externally looking humble-pretence-show clash mightily with his internal conceit and arrogance. He knows much, much better than his truly great teacher His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He has the audacity and shamelessness to correct him at every step. KICK HIM IN THE FACE for that audacity. I SAY “KICK HIM IN THE FACE” for his shamelessness again and again! Actually he does not care for his illustrious teacher at all. He only cares to carry out his hidden motives.
Those are the kind of malevolent and insidious priests who introduced the saga of the death of Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and made a tremendously successful and lucrative business out of it. They will not hesitate to poison your life if their interest requires it.
Krishna affirms His individuality in the past and confirm s His individuality in the future also. He has confirmed His individuality in so many ways and the impersonal Brahman has been declared as subordinate to Him. Krishna has maintained spiritual individuality all along, and if He is accepted as ordinary conditioned soul in individual consciousness, His Bhagavad G ita has no value for teaching purposes. A common man with all four defects of human frailties is unable to teach that which is worth hearing. Bhagavad G ita is above such literatures. No other book can compare with the Bhagavad G ita. When one accepts Krishna as an ordinary man, the Bhagavad G ita loses its whole importance. The Mayavadi argues that the plurality mentioned in this verse is conventional. The Mayavadi argues that the plurality refers to the body. But previous to this verse such bodily conception is already condemned. After condemning the bodily conception of the living entities, how was it possible for Krishna to place a conventional proposition on he body again? Therefore, the plurality is maintained on spiritual grounds as it is confirmed by great A c h aryas like Sri Ramanuja and others. As it will appear in later chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, it is clearly mentioned in many places of the Bhagavad G ita that it is understood by those who are devotees of the Lord. Those who are envious of Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead have no bona fide access to the great literature. The non-devotees approach to the teachings of the Bhagavad G ita is something like bees licking on the bottle of honey. One cannot have any taste of honey unless one can taste the content of the bottle. Similarly, the mysticism of the Bhagavad G ita can be understood only by the devotees and nobody else, as it is stated in the fourth chapter of the book. Nor can the Bhagavad G ita be touched by such person s who envy the very existence of the Lord. Therefore the Mayavadi explanation of the Bhagavad G ita is the most misleading presentation of the whole truth. Lord Caitanya has forbidden to read any commentar y
made by the Mayavadis and opines that one who
takes to such understanding of the Mayavadi philosophy
loses all potency for understanding the real mystery of the Bhagavad G ita. If the individuality
has any reference to the empirical universe, then there was no need of teaching by the Lord. The plurality of the individual soul and that of the Lord is an eternal fact, and it is confirmed by the Vedas as mentioned above.
The CHALLENGE BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS, 10.41 Know that all opulent beautiful and glorious creations that may exist within the universe are but a fragmental part-manifestation of my opulence. Actually they are born of my splendor.
Purport. Whether in the spiritual world or the material world, any glorious and beautiful existence should be understood to be but a fragmental manifestation of Krishna’s opulence. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be considered as a presentation of Krishna’s opulence.
I’ve given my heart only to you While you stand there thinking about it There’s nothing more than I can do When you’re hiding what you feel inside
The closer we get the farther you run From the voice that speaks from the heart The higher we climb the harder we fall So don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging on
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind Put all the heartbreak away We’ll start all over one step at a time Don’t let the past take my place It’s heart over mind, heart over mind
Time after time you say give up It’s too hard for you to give in Don’t let the past speak louder than love Don’t live yesterday again
Your mind is holding back What your heart’s letting go I’m fighting to help set you free I’m wanting you, you’re needing me So don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging on
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind Put all the heartbreak away We’ll start all over one step at a time Don’t let the past take my place It’s heart over mind, heart over mind
Time heals the wounded And I know you will survive Let’s pick up the pieces And put them together again, together again…
Look over your shoulder then leave it behind Put all the heartbreak away We’ll start all over one step at a time Don’t let the past take my place It’s heart over mind, heart over mind
In the next song “The power of love” she says something that always struck me. It’s about mental boldness. She says she is afraid but she will go ahead anyway. Sometimes we have to overcome fear in the execution of our duties. I remember in the 90ties. I was at Three ways near Tenant Creek NT and I had never left Western Australia. So driving to Townsville was a gamble and a big adventure. These are huge distances and if one brakes down one may be stranded and good amounts of Laksmi may be required to rectify the situation.
One time, on a different trip, I was actually stranded and had carburator problems. Guess what happened. Without my asking, a well meaning truckie stopped and fixed my problem very expertly . Another instance I remember is that a backpacker in a small car always used to overtake me in the morning in a great hurry for several days. Another day he overtook me in a hurry and a few km further down he was in the ditch writhing in pain with assistance. Australia does not forgive the careless either on land or in the water where currents will carry u away to your death or shark will have a bite at you.
In 2000 I almost drowned in Byron Bay. I was on book distribution and decided to take a break and a swim. I did not notice the ocean was very agitated with a strong wind and clear skies. Very quickly I found myself a good distance from the shore and struggling to keep my head above water. A current had taken me. I did intake some sea water indeed. It seemed hopeless. I was going to drown when I saw a surfer approaching me with his board. This man saved me. Later I learned that the helicopter was also on its way. A police report was filed and is still available with the police post in BB, After that experience I become much more abiding to the “swim between the flags” injunction, which I considered a bit of unnecessary luxury.
Here is the full text:
[Verse 1] The whispers in the morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling by like thunder now As I look into your eyes I hold on to your body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender, a love That I could not forsake
[Chorus] ‘Cause I’m your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I’ll do all that I can
[Verse 2] Lost is how I’m feeling Lying in your arms When the world outside’s too much to take That all ends when I’m with you Even though there may be times It seems I’m far away But never wonder where I am ‘Cause I am always by your side
[Chorus] ‘Cause I’m your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I’ll do all that I can
[Post-Chorus] We’re heading for something Somewhere I’ve never been Sometimes I am frightened, but I’m ready to learn ‘Bout the power of love
[Bridge] The sound of your heart beating Made it clear suddenly The feeling that I can’t go on Is light years away
[Chorus] ‘Cause I’m your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I’ll do all that I can
[Post-Chorus] We’re heading for something Somewhere I’ve never been Sometimes I am frightened, but I’m ready to learn ‘Bout the power of love We’re heading for something Somewhere I’ve never been Sometimes I am frightened, but I’m ready to learn ‘Bout the power of love
[Outro] Ooh, the power of love The power of love Sometimes I am frightened, but I’m ready to learn ‘Bout the power of love
