Srila Prabhupada’s plain and direct language. BG 2.56. Thank you Srila Prabhupada! …and Sexism in BG 2.67 and 2.72!

In OT BG 2.56 Srila Prabupada basically writes:

One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries and is not puffed up when there is happiness and is thus free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage fixed in mind.

Hayagriva writes:

One who is not disturbed in spite of the threefold miseries who not elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.

Jayadvaita writes:

One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.

Both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita negate and deny the basic personal feature to be elated when there is happiness. This is impersonalism. To negate and deny basic personal attributes of the living entity is impersonalism. What an “impersonal calamity”! One is naturally elated when there is happiness and one should legitimately be so. But when one becomes puffed up when there is happiness and success, as Sila Prabhupada wisely and frankly puts it, then one’s fall down has begun.

Both you editors Hayagriva and Jayadvaita and supporters are so very puffed up for removing first class language from Prabhupada ‘s Bhagavad-gita As It Is and replacing it with your personal and ordinary verbiage such as replacing Prabhupada’s “freaks of nature” with your “cataclysm” in BG 2.8 P. What an imposture! What fake presentation in the name of Srila Prabhupada. What misleading of the world and the devotee community. Not only that, you sneakily remove any Prabhupada reference that could expose your nefarious activities by, for example, removing the very words “puffed up” from BG 2.56. You deserve to be cut down unceremoniously!

“The spiritual master in the authoritative line of disciplic succession is the “son of God,” or in other words the Lord’s bona fide representative. The proof that he is bona fide is his invincible faith in God, which protects him from the calamity of impersonalism. An impersonalist cannot be a bona fide spiritual master, for such a spiritual master’s only purpose in life must be to render service to the Lord. He preaches the message of Godhead as the Lord’s appointed agent and has nothing to do with sense gratification or the mundane wrangling of the impersonalists. No one can render devotional service to an impersonal entity because such service implies a reciprocal personal relationship between the servant and the master. In the impersonal school the so-called devotee is supposed to merge with the Lord and lose his separate existence.” Srila Prabhupada in Mukunda Mala stotra mantra 4 Purport.

What impersonal falsity! Jayadvaita in his swollen impersonalist’s pride and envy denies one of the fundamental proprietary rights of the living entity: happiness or in Sanskrit language “ananda”.

According to shastric reference, there are three fundamental proprietary rights of the living entity, which are sat, cit and ananda i.e. the living entity is eternal, the living entity in his pure stage is full of knowledge and the living entity in his pure stage is also full of bliss.

Jayadvaita wants to make people unhappy. That is his hidden agenda. Both versions of the Bhagavad-gita have the same hidden agenda: To make people unhappy. What an imposture and betrayal to Srila Prabhupada!

Not to mention the constant sexism encountered in current versions of Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Again in OT BG 2.67 Srila Prabhupada clearly writes about “the intelligence of the person”, whereas Hayagriva and Jayadvaita, in their male chauvinism, attribute intelligence only to men and thus misleadingly impose their male chauvinism on the minds of all readers.

Essentially Srila Prabhupada’s OT BG 2.67 is as follows:

As an unfavourable wind sweeps away a boat on the water, similarly even one of the senses on which the mind constantly focuses can carry away a person’s intelligence. 

Hayagriva’s:

As a boat on the water is sweept away by a strong wind, even one of the senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man’s intelligence.

Jayadvaita’s:

As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man’s intelligence.

BG 2.72 is also sexist.

Srila Prabhupada basically writes:

That is the way of the spiritual situation of godly life, upon attaining which nobody becomes bewildered. If one is situated in such status of life even at the end of life, one can enter into the kingdom of God. 

Current official version reads:

That is the way of the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a man is not bewildered. If one is thus situated even at the hour of death, one can enter into the kingdom of God.

It also felt that Srila Prabhupada’s sometimes stately style of writing is reduced and down graded to ordinary speech by His so-called editors (BG 2.1 and BG 2.2 purports and others.) That is absolutely unwanted. Srila Prabhupada is like the attorney general of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and when He uses legal terms such proprietary rights as in BG 2.47 the editors quickly erase it. This is plain cheating. And of course an affront to Srila Prabhupada, a stab in the back of Srila Prabhupada. These things do not go unnoticed and the editors and other responsible custodians will be called to account for these illegal matters.

Syamasundara Prabhu (probably of South Africa) gives on dandavats the opinion of an American lawyer about Srila Prabhupada’s own legal mind as follows:

“Hare Krsna. Very nice history of preaching in a very dangerous place. I have known Kshudi Prabhu for a long time. He told me another interesting history. As mentioned his parents were lawyers and his mother specialized in “Trust Law” and she is the one who, under Srila Prabhupada’s direction, set up the BBT. Kshudi told me that his mother remarked that Srila Prabhupada had expert knowledge of trust law and that Srila Prabhupada knew exactly what he was doing, and that she had never met a lay person knew so much, that Prabhupada could have been a trust lawyer.”

And all glories and respects to Kshudi’s Prabhu’s mother who performed such important service as setting up the BBT!

And why did the editors just drop the last sentence of purport 2.7 which reads? :

“One who attempts to comment on the Bhagavad-gita without knowing this science is the greatest pretender.”

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, the attorney general of the Supreme Personality of Godhead!
