JAYADVAITA IS A MISCHIEFMONGER AND A CHEATER. This is final! And his impersonal pride may have no limits. This remains to be displayed openly for everyone to see. Him and Sriman Hitler have this one thing in common: they are both cheaters. Hitler promised to the German people a 1000 years golden age. And after only 12 years he lead the German people to HELL. (And then the generous and forgiving American government and people helped them out of hell. First they sacrificed their lives to liberate them and then they gave them advantageous financial terms to reconstruct the war savaged country.) That is the work of a cheater par excellence. Jayadvaita is such a cheater as well. He is misleading everyone. Please wake up to his bluff and get rid of him. Chello Jayadvaita, chello, chello…..go away shhhhhhhh……

All his invested energies into ISKCON should be thrown into the bin, including and especially Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by JAYADVAITA. (FBGAIINJ) This means whence forward BBT ought to stop printing Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita and the remaining stock should be on clearance sale and disposed off quickly.

Again I am appealing: Kick this cheater out and get rid of this mischief monger. If you do not accept and follow my advice, you, the managers of ISKCON and the BBT, will become solely responsible for the consequences.

He himself:

1. He may accept a reformation process. But what new tricks can old dogs learn?
2. He may go to the forest.
3. He may just get out of ISKCON and out of the way and implement his own ideas in the vast and dangerous material world and lead his own movement: Suggested appellation: International Society for Jay Israel. According to Wikipedia his karmi name is Jay Israel. May be he should join the Israeli army who needs recruits very badly at this time. (October 4th 2024)

His nonsense energy just falsifies the whole equation.

Because in word for word of Bhagavad Gita16.7, he translates “nivrttim” with a bewildering and convoluted double negation ( a cheating process and diversion technic of this cheater’s fabrication) as “not acting improperly”, he is morally corrupt and is attempting to corrupt all others. He indicates that actually there is no difference between proper action and improper action. It is all one. Do whatever you like. This is essentially the definition of Lord Krishna’s demoniac life. Therefore I am calling: “THIS DEMON JAYADVAITA”. Makes logical sense, does it not?

His downfall really is that he thinks he is better than his Guru, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Who in his eyes is just a senile, old, uneducated man from a third world country, Who badly needs Jayadvaitas superior education and advice. Additionally the world really needs badly the enlightenment of His Divine Grace Jayadvaita Swami. In fact however, Jayadvaita is nothing but a parasite on Srila Prabhupada’s back. Let us kick him off Srila Prabhupada back! Smash the parasites!

Through his editorial policies, it would be fair to say that Jayadvaita and his followers and supporters slap, kick, punch, and stab Srila Prabhupada around continuously and induce others to slap, kick, punch and stab Srila Prabhupada around. This is a very dangerous policy. A similar reaction equal in kind and intensity should be expected. This must be surgically operated upon. This cancer must be cut out of the body of ISKCON.

Of course, the GBC is also responsible for making this fatefully wrong decision to accept Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As Is Is NOT by Jayadvaita as official version, thus replacing Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is Not by Hayagriva. But Srila Prabhupada at least seemed to have accepted Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva, even though He did not have the time and opportunity to check the Hayagriva rendition in details, as we may have now. The GBC can always reverse its decision and revert to Freewheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva until Krishna will supply the real Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. There is no loss. There is only gain. Krishna likes to play some games sometimes just to test His devotees. Just like He played with Rukmini’s feelings by suggesting that she divorce Him. Poor Rukmimi’s first reaction was to faint and fall on the floor like a “banana tree”. But then she very quickly turned the tables on Krishna. After all she is the Goddess of Fortune and the smartest lady around as well. What prompted Krishna to play this particular game, as Srila Prabhupada explains in Krishna Book, is that Lord Krishna felt that Rukmini behaviour had become tinged with a little pride, as she had continuously been enjoying Krishna’s association. All glories to Rukmimi Dwarakadish!!!

“Rukmini was conscious that her husband was not an ordinary human being. He was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the master of the three worlds. By the way He was speaking, she was afraid of being separated from the Lord, for she had never heard such harsh words from Krsna before. Thus she became perplexed with fear of separation, and her heart began to palpitate. Without replying to a word of Krsna’s statement, she simply cried in great anxiety, as if drowning in an ocean of grief. She silently scratched the floor with her toenails, which reflected reddish light on the floor. The tears from her eyes mixed with the black cosmetic ointment from her eyelids and dropped down, washing the kunkuma and saffron from her breasts. Choked up on account of great anxiety, unable to speak even a word, she kept her head downward and remained standing just like a stick. Due to extremely painful fear and lamentation, she lost all her powers of reason and became weak, her body losing so much weight that the bangles on her wrists became slack. The camara with which she was serving Krsna immediately fell from her hand. Her brain and memory became puzzled, and she lost consciousness. The nicely combed hair on her head scattered here and there, and she fell down straight, like a banana tree cut down by a whirlwind.

Lord Krsna immediately realized that Rukmini had not taken His words in a joking spirit. She had taken them very seriously, and in her extreme anxiety over immediate separation from Him, she had fallen into this condition. Lord Sri Krsna is naturally very affectionate toward His devotees, and when He saw Rukmini’s condition, His heart immediately softened. At once He became merciful to her. The relationship between Rukmini and Krsna was like that between Laksmi and Narayana; therefore, Krsna appeared before Rukmini in His four-handed manifestation of Narayana. He got down from the bedstead, lifted her up by her hands and, placing His cooling hands on her face, smoothed the scattered hair on her head. Lord Krsna dried the wet breasts of Rukminiji with His hand. Understanding the seriousness of Rukmini’s love for Him, He embraced her to His chest.”

Jayadvaita wants to be the next Acharya or Pope in the line of Gaudiya Madhva Sampradaya. He truly is the Acharya of false pride and he also the Acharya of Impersonalism. That’s all credit we give him. If that’s what you are looking for, please feel free to join and follow him. We can however not give any guarantees as to your destination.

Jayadvaita, the Acharya of false pride!

Jayadavita, the Acharya of “Impersonal calamity”.

Just as the great Srimad Bhavatam rejects materially motivated religions, similarly the envious has no footing in the realm of pure devotional service.

dharmah projjhita-kaitavo ‘tra paramo nirmatsaranam satam
vedyam vastavam atra vastu sivadam tapa-trayonmulanam
srimad-bhagavate maha-muni-krte kim va parair isvarah
sadyo hrdy avarudhyate ‘tra krtibhih susrusubhis tat-ksanat.

TRANSLATION

Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this Bhagavata Purana propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhagavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyasadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need of any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of the Bhagavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.

WORD FOR WORD RENDITION

panditah — very learned scholars; bahavah — many; rajan — O King (Yudhisthira); bahu-jnah — persons with varied experience; samsaya-cchidah — expert in legal advice; sadasah patayah — persons eligible to become presidents of learned assemblies; api — even; eke — by one disqualification; asantosat — simply by dissatisfaction or greed; patanti — fall down; adhah — into hellish conditions of life.

TRANSLATION

(His Divine Grace Sri Narada Muni is speaking.)
O King Yudhisthira, many persons with varied experience, many legal advisers, many learned scholars and many persons eligible to become presidents of learned assemblies fall down into hellish life because of not being satisfied with their positions.

PURPORT

For spiritual advancement, one should be materially satisfied, for if one is not materially satisfied, his greed for material development will result in the frustration of his spiritual advancement. There are two things that nullify all good qualities. One is poverty. Daridra-doso guna-rasi-nasi. If one is poverty-stricken, all his good qualities become null and void. Similarly, if one becomes too greedy, his good qualifications are lost. Therefore the adjustment is that one should not be poverty-stricken, but one must try to be fully satisfied with the bare necessities of life and not be greedy. For a devotee to be satisfied with the bare necessities is therefore the best advice for spiritual advancement. Learned authorities in devotional life consequently advise that one not endeavor to increase the number of temples and mathas. Such activities can be undertaken only by devotees experienced in propagating the Krsna consciousness movement. All the acaryas in South India, especially Sri Ramanujacarya, constructed many big temples, and in North India all the Gosvamis of Vrndavana constructed large temples. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura also constructed large centers, known as Gaudiya Mathas. Therefore temple construction is not bad, provided proper care is taken for the propagation of Krsna consciousness. Even if such endeavors are considered greedy, the greed is to satisfy Krsna, and therefore these are spiritual activities.

Ref. VedaBase => SB 7.15.21

Post Scriptum.

Many small animals like insects, come to the Temple just to die there. We may therefore say that the Krishna Temple offers, among other benefits, end of life shelter for insects. These insects are fortunate souls and are certainly under the guidance of the Supersould or Paramatma, Who dictates from the heart:” The end of your current body is very near, go to this Krishna Temple for successful transmigration.” Here they may hear Srila Prabhupada chanting Japa, as I may play this YouTube production posted by Andrew Savchuk : Srila Prabhupada Japa 16 Rounds 1728x Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, and will thus be benefitted. This is an excellent production and I recommend it. …..Or will hear anyone chanting Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra.

These animals can be spotted very easily, as their condition is very sluggish and almost don’t move at all. Of course the best course of action is to NOT be sentimental about this and to NOT intervene physically at all and let things take their own course. If you intervene physically out of sentiment you will only cause discomfort and disturbance to the tiny individual. After their demise some other animals may come and eat their dead bodies. Ants for example love living and dead flesh. I had his experience in Vrndavan, India in 1977, as I was recuperating from my jaundice in the Krishna Balaram guest house, after my experiment in being a temple commander under HH Akshoyananda Swami. Some ant started eating my flesh between my toes. It is a little painful and one may try to stop it immediately by chasing them away. Of course there is no question to kill the poor animal for that natural propensity of being hungry and looking for food, as non-devotees may often do with a big stepping crush of their foot. I can only lament that I am not on the higher level of the great brahmin-saint Vasudeva as follows, otherwise I would have let the ant finish her meal:

“Although suffering from leprosy, the brahmana Vasudeva was enlightened. As soon as one worm fell from his body, he would pick it up and place it back again in the same location.” Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya 7.137

It is a little painful to have one’s flesh eaten while still residing in this body. After leaving the body, however, no-one really cares for it.

There is another incident that I wish to write down. HH Akshoyananda Swami gave me a shelf at chest height, in his temple president’s office, where I left a brand new, with green handle, first class folding knife. The knife lasted only a few hours even in the temple president’s office. It was stolen by a unknown offender. “That’s India.” and this is the mantra some Indians train commuters threw at me in the super-over-crowded Mumbai train, when a thief tried to cut open my money belt while leaning against me in the super-over-crowded Mumbay train. The vital part of the money belt was to my front and not to my back. I started shouting very loudly and this gave me some space and I could find to my great relief that, although my money belt was cut open, nothing was in fact missing. Thanks to my awareness and quick reaction, I had saved both my documents as the passport and my Lakshmi (cash money) as well. So “This is India”. At least it was India in 1977.

Srila Prabhupada also instructs that by shouting “Hut” very loudly and with all one’s energy, one can keep menacing dogs at bay and thus be saved from painful bites or even death. There is an instance where Srila Prabhupada walks on some beach in California and successfully fights off some menacing dog, but His disciple is unable to do so.

Additionally, on the occasion of HH Gopal Krishna Goswami’s Vyasapuja day on this 30th day of August 2024, I may add the following for his glorification: It is he who put pressure on me to leave the Krishna Balaram guest house as a convalescent from jaundice and that was of course a bit of a disappointment for me. But this incidence has to be understood properly. This was neither a good thing nor a bad thing. This was a transcendental event, arranged by Lord Krishna, who was reminding me to get back to practical business in His service, instead of just concentrating on studying Srila Prabhupada’s books. There has to be a proper balance between study and management. This incident happened perhaps at the latest in March 1977 and in His letter of May 2nd 1977, Srila Prabhupada confirmed to me this necessity of balance between study and management. We should never use study as a cop out, and this was not my case either. HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja had at the time a degree of authority superior to the Temple President’s authority. He was at the time responsible for Vrindavan, probably as Governing Body Commissioner (GBC) or regional secretary.

Additionally, he was extremely kind and efficient upon this humble self, when in 2017, I passed through New Delhi on my way to France. He immediately provided me with accomodation in the guest house opposite the New Delhi Sri Sri Radha Partha Sarathi temple, although it seemed to me that his health was declining. Maharaja has now joined ISKCON of the spiritual world. Iskcon in the spiritual world is a reality, as Srila Prabhupada confirms in the following letter:

“Your next question, after leaving this material realm does the devotee remain forever with his spiritual master? The answer is yes. But I think you have got the mistaken idea in this connection. You speak of pure devotee, that he is saktyavesa avatara, that we should obey him only — these things are the wrong idea. If anyone thinks like that, that a pure devotee should be obeyed and no one else, that means he is a nonsense. We advise everyone to address one another as Prabhu. Prabhu means master, so how the master should be disobeyed? Others, they are also pure devotees. All of my disciples are pure devotees. Anyone sincerely serving the spiritual master is a pure devotee, it may be Siddhasvarupa or others, a-Siddhasvarupa. This must be very clearly stated. It is not only that your Siddhasvarupa is a pure devotee and not others. Do not try to make a faction. Siddhasvarupa is a good soul. But others should not be misled. Anyone who is surrendered to the spiritual master is a pure devotee, it doesn’t matter if Siddhasvarupa or non-Siddhasvarupa. Amongst ourselves one should respect others as Prabhu, master, one another. As soon as we distinguish here is a pure devotee, here is a non-pure devotee, that means I am a nonsense. Why you only want to be in the spiritual sky with Siddhasvarupa? Why not all? If Siddhasvarupa can go, why not everyone? Siddhasvarupa will go, you will go, Syamasundara will go, all others will go. We will have another ISKCON there. Of course, Mr. Nair must stay.
And if somebody does not go, then I shall have to come back to take him there. One should remember this and every one of my disciples should act in such a way that they may go with me and may not have to come back to take another birth.”

Ref. VedaBase => Letter to: Tusta Krsna — Ahmedabad 14 December, 1972

Maharaj, please accept my most humble obeisances at your holy feet on the occasion of your 2024 Vyasapuja celebrations here in Brisbane and around the world indeed. All glories to your personal international contribution to Lord Caitanya’s International Samkirtan Mission.

To get back to my original point, there is currently a flying insect stuck on my fly screen. He has inspired me to write these words. He is definitely dying.

There is a similar instance on Stinson beach in California in 1967, where Srila Prabhupada during His illness / convalescence advised His disciple to chant Hare Krishna to “the poor thing”. It was a large slug climbing on a wall. The point being that the chanting of Hare Krishna mantra will at all times bring benefit to whoever hears the chanting, be it human, animal or plant or any other sentient being with ears. Such strong faith we have to have in the transcendental power of the Holy Name. It is called vyavasayatmika buddhi.

“Govinda dasi: Swamiji would sit on a little couch with a table before him, and Gaurasundara and Kirtanananda and I would sit on the floor, and we would all eat together, like a family. We would talk, and one time the subject was rice. Kirtanananda said, “White rice is for human beings, and brown rice is for animals.” So I said, “I must be an animal, then, because I really like brown rice better.” And Swamiji just laughed and laughed and laughed. He thought it was so funny. I guess it did sound pretty simple. But he laughed and laughed.
Prabhupada was sitting in the back yard when Govinda dasi saw a large slug climbing on a wall. She showed it to Prabhupada. “Chant to the poor thing,” he said, and she began to chant Hare Krsna.
Govinda dasi would take walks daily and, with the neighbors’ permission, pick dozens of roses. On returning she would arrange them in vases and place them all around in Prabhupada’s room. One time when Prabhupada heard her loudly singing Hare Krsna as she returned from the neighborhood, he remarked to Gaurasundara, “She is very simplehearted.” Srila Prabhupada-lilamrita, Vol 3, chapter 4 “Our master has not finished His work”, page 148.

The Christians also have such faith in the Holy Name of God, as I have seen a “Church of the Holy Name” in Tenant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia. I might even have a picture of it in my records. Sometimes however, Christians do not realise that the word “Christ” comes from the Greek “kristo”, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit “Krishna” through a deformation of the word “Krishna” itself. One lady even accused me of playing tricky and false word games. But just consult the philologists and etymologists and they will gladly confirm this point. This is NOT fake news. This is real, factual, actual news. So there is a direct link between Christ and Krishna, at least in the semantic sense or the formal aspects of the two words. Others say more directly that Lord Jesus Christ spent some time in India before preaching in the Middle East. And other again say that His tomb is in India. The most revolutionary comment about the heroic life of Lord Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, is that although He was crucified to a cross, as was the custom at the time, He id not actually die on that cross due to His mystic or yogic powers.

I any case Hare Krishna religion and its representatives have the highest regards and respect for Lord Jesus Christ, as well as for all other bona fide religions of the world such as Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism etc. Srila Prabhupada said that Lord Jesus Christ is our GURU or spiritual teacher. And frankly to call Lord Jesus Christ the son of God is a vast, vast, vast understatement, because every living entity is the son or daughter of the Supreme Father or God. So Christians, please lift your game.

It is very easy. I was brought up as a Catholic, was a altar boy, drank some of the wine like most others, then graduated to sacristan, read the epistle and the Gospels in my small country village church in France. We (the priest and the altar boys) went together on some memorable excursions, included the wonderful Venice in Italy. My mother and my parish priest certainly wanted me to become a Christian priest, and a Hare Krishna priest I became. What better can they expect? Please find below 2 pictures of the place of my early Christian mysticism, outside and inside.

My Dear Madhudvisa Maharaja,
Please accept my blessings. Thank you for your nice invitation card. Thousands of Caitanya Mahaprabhu temples may be established all over Australia so that I may receive one invitation card at least every month. Physical health does not allow me to move very much, but my mind is absorbed in thinking of you with blessings of Krishna.
I hope this letter finds you well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

________________

The words of an emissary of God and we specifically call Him Krishna, are usually very powerful because they are backed by God, Krishna, Himself, just as the bona fide ambassador is backed by the full power off its own state, and therefore they usually come true, not over night of course, but in the long run. So let us see what will happen in this most beautiful and GOD- or Krishna-privileged land of Australia, were everyone one wishes to come and live and I may repeat again in “this Holy Land of Australia.”

I am sure there are other such churches in the Holy Land of Australia, which I care to call Nava Bharata or New Bharata. BTW I have heard that there is now an official intention to change from “INDIA” to “BHARATA”, a welcome return to the sources. And for those who object: “What do you mean “the Holy Land of Australia”? Australia is not at all a Holy Land, it is the land of the beer drinker and the larrikin, we reply first of all that your cliche is now outdated and that Australia is changing very fast for the better. The wisdom of the Australian people is clearly exhibited in the fact that today there is only a very maximum of 10% who still smoke, whereas that was previously a much higher rate. In other words, the Australian people know to distinguish a good thing and to pick it up and Krishna consciousness is THE VERY BEST THING THERE IS.

The dead body eating sequence is the law of nature in full swing as per SB 1.13.47:

ROMAN TRANSLITERATION

ahastani sahastanam
apadani catus-padam
phalguni tatra mahatam
jivo jivasya jivanam

WORD FOR WORD RENDITION

ahastani — those who are devoid of hands; sa-hastanam — of those who are endowed with hands; apadani — those who are devoid of legs; catuh-padam — of those who have four legs; phalguni — those who are weak; tatra — there; mahatam — of the powerful; jivah — the living being; jivasya — of the living being; jivanam — subsistence.

TRANSLATION by Srila Prabhupada.

Those who are devoid of hands are prey for those who have hands; those devoid of legs are prey for the four-legged. The weak are the subsistence of the strong, and the general rule holds that one living being is food for another.

and PURPORT by Srila Prabhupada

A systematic law of subsistence in the struggle for existence is there by the supreme will, and there is no escape for anyone by any amount of planning. The living beings who have come to the material world against the will of the Supreme Being are under the control of a supreme power called maya-sakti, the deputed agent of the Lord, and this daivi maya is meant to pinch the conditioned souls by threefold miseries, one of which is explained here in this verse: the weak are the subsistence of the strong. No one is strong enough to protect himself from the onslaught of someone stronger, and by the will of the Lord there are systematic categories of the weak, the stronger and the strongest. There is nothing to be lamented if a tiger eats a weaker animal, including a man, because that is the law of the Supreme Lord. But although the law states that a human being must subsist on another living being, there is the law of good sense also, for the human being is meant to obey the laws of the scriptures. This is impossible for other animals. The human being is meant for self-realization, and for that purpose he is not to eat anything which is not first offered to the Lord. The Lord accepts from His devotee all kinds of food preparations made of vegetables, fruits, leaves and grains. Fruits, leaves and milk in different varieties can be offered to the Lord, and after the Lord accepts the foodstuff, the devotee can partake of the prasadam, by which all suffering in the struggle for existence will be gradually mitigated. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita (9.26). Even those who are accustomed to eat animals can offer foodstuff, not to the Lord directly, but to an agent of the Lord, under certain conditions of religious rites. Injunctions of the scriptures are meant not to encourage the eaters of animals but to restrict them by regulative principles.
One living being is the source of subsistence for other, stronger living beings. No one should be very anxious for his subsistence in any circumstances because there are living beings everywhere, and no living being starves for want of food at any place. Maharaja Yudhisthira is advised by Narada not to worry about his uncles’ suffering for want of food, for they could live on vegetables available in the jungles as prasadam of the Supreme Lord and thus realize the path of salvation.
Exploitation of the weaker living being by the stronger is the natural law of existence; there is always an attempt to devour the weak in different kingdoms of living beings. There is no possibility of checking this tendency by any artificial means under material conditions; it can be checked only by awakening the spiritual sense of the human being by practice of spiritual regulations. The spiritual regulative principles, however, do not allow a man to slaughter weaker animals on one side and teach others peaceful coexistence. If you do not allow the animals peaceful coexistence, how can you expect peaceful coexistence in human society? The blind leaders must therefore understand the Supreme Being and then try to implement the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God, or rama-rajya, is impossible without the awakening of God consciousness in the mass mind of the people of the world.

As we hear from Srila Prabhupada’s above purport the predator rarely waits for the natural death of it’s victim. The predator rather inflicts death on the victim at a time of his own choosing. At least several times a year, we hear that, in Far North Queensland, a crocodile caught and ate an imprudent human without any distinction of gender, race or age . Just recently I was both surprised and privileged to see a humble crow swooping on a young bush turkey in the Rocks Riverside Park to kill and eat. The bush turkey must have been about 13 cm high. Animals do not incur karma for such survival activities, whereas humans do. “This is life.”goes the common saying. And if we wish to achieve peaceful coexistence with one another, we better start with peaceful coexistence with animals as well and stop slaughtering them by the millions and eating their slaughtered bodies. Lord Jesus Christ clearly said “Thou shall not kill.” Hare Krishna.

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

Please find the place (outside and inside) of my Christian mysticism.

Members who hold important positions in ISKCON and who think and proclaim that “We are all in Maya,”, as Nagaraja Prabhu, the BTG magazine head does here: http://www.dandavats.com/?p=14324 should immediately be fired from their position, regardless of consequences, as new, young and very qualified blood is ready to take over and thus such persons will wake up from their Maya-dream. The management of dandavats.com should also be reprimanded for their temporary lapse of judgement of posting such an article.

Please note that Srila Prabhupada is always in an aggressive preaching mood and that made Him tremendously successful. In a challenging mood, He gives His enlightening answer in the fraction of a second: “Have you not read Bhagavad Gita???” In BG 18.4 Lord Krishna calls His friend Arjuna “purusha vyaghra” rendered into English as “O tiger among man.” We may say that this apostrophe perfectly fits Srila Prabhupada. In the material world, sense enjoyers are after “vyaghra.” Let us be “purusha vyaghra” for Krishna and conquer the world for Krishna and Srila Prabhupada because there is no doubt about it: WE HAVE THE BEST PHILOSOPHY. No one can defeat the Krishna conscious philosophy because it is closest to God or Krishna.

We thank very much vanipedia.org for this memorable publication. This happened in Melbourne, May 22, 1975 and we recognised of course, Srila Prabhupada’s beloved and departed assistant HG Madhudvisa Prabhu. Srila Prabhupada liked him very much. We also recognise HG Dayasara Prabhu. He was Temple President in Perth, WA for some time. Last time I was in touch with him, he was a little separated from the Krishna Consciousness movement in South Australia. There is also another person with beard in higher background, whose name escapes me. He always came around to the temple with his good wife and child for years and years. They were Germans, I believe, but never accepted initiation. I wonder what is the fate and position of such persons who came an inch from initiation by Srila Prabhupada but never made the final step. Their destination is very good, no doubt. There is another lady in Australia who actually got initiated by Srila Prabhupada. I mean to say, Srila Prabhupada went through all the motions of initiation for her. But on the day of initiation she did not attend the ceremony, as perhaps she had some misunderstanding with the management. Perhaps such persons should be considered bona fide disciples of His Divine Grace because of Srila Prabhupada’s preparatory work and intentions. I met her last in Byron Bay, NSW, some ten years ago. She also has a son and very kindly gave me a very nice gift of a framed picture of Caitanya Mahaprabhu in Jarikhanda forest, which I keep on my desk. I have currently difficulty in contacted her. May Lord Krishna help me remember her initiation named and other details. If you can help please contact me on his website. Thank you.

Srila Prabhupada also wrote the following letter to some of His female disciples in USA. Let me vibrate the prestigious names of these samkirtan-book-distribution-heroines as HG Jagaddhatri DD, HG Pasupati DD, HG Sailogata DD and Bhaktin Pamela as swell. The essence of the letter is:

“Aggression for the cause of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is pure “

This is capital knowledge for a Samkirtan-book-distributor-preacher as he / she may encounter so many situations, where one may honestly doubt the propriety of one’s actions. This letter will eradicate one’s doubts as it always has for me. Of course in the fire of action one should exercise one’s best discrimination at all times. “Do not worry. Krishna will help you.”

My Dear Daughters,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated July 29, 1975 and have noted the contents. Regarding the problem of how to be aggressive on Sankirtana and submissive in the temple, my request to you is that you should go on being aggressive on Sankirtana. I myself was aggressive in coming to your country. No one invited me. Even you boys and girls did not invite me. But, I came and I preached aggressively, and therefore you are now my disciples. So now you well know you have to approach the men and women of your country, and it may appear that superficially that you have to disturb them. They are doing their business peacefully, and you come and disturb them, “Please take this Krishna book.”

Of course it is good that you are concerned about being chaste, shy, and submissive amongst your godbrothers. Canakya Pandit said that every man should see all other women as mother, and similarly a woman should see all men as son. So what is your difficulty? If you are completely aggressive on Sankirtana, there should be no material aggressiveness and pride remaining. You have to distinguish between devotees and non-devotees.

Aggression for the cause of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is pure (My emphasis). If you become completely absorbed in such aggression to spread Sankirtana Movement, there will be no question of wanting to lord it over in the temple. Preaching purifies us of these material tendencies for sense gratification. It is simply a matter of time that you will see this. Do not worry. Krishna will help you.

I hope this meets you in good health.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Mind blowing quote of the day.

BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS 2.56, VERSION 3, BY FAR THE MOST FAITHFUL VERSION OF ALL!

ORIGINAL SANSKRIT (as spoken by Krishna Himself on the battlefield )

duhkheshv anudvigna-manah
sukheshu vigata-sprihah
vita-raga-bhaya-krodhah
sthita-dhir munir ucyate

WORD FOR WORD RENDITION

duhkhesu — in the threefold miseries; anudvigna-manah — without being agitated in mind; sukhesu — in happiness; vigata-sprhah — without being interested; vita — free from; raga — attachment; bhaya — fear; krodhah — and anger; sthita — dhih — whose mind is steady; munih — a sage; ucyate — is called.

TRANSLATION by Srila Prabhupada.

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

PURPORT  by  Srila Prabhupada.

The word “muni” means one who can agitate his mind in various ways for mental speculation without any factual conclusion. It is said that every muni has a different angle of vision and unless a muni is not different in view from another muni, he cannot be called a muni in the strict sense of the term. “Nasav rshir yasya matam na bhinnam” (Mahabharata, Vana-parva 313.117). But a sthita-dhir muni, as mentioned herein by the Lord, is different from an ordinary muni. The sthita-dhir muni is always in Krishna consciousness after having finished all speculative business of creative speculation. He is called prashanta-nihshesa-mano-rathantara (Stotra-ratna 43), or one who has surpassed the stage of mental speculations, and has come to the conclusion that Lord Sri Krishna, or Vasudeva, is everything (vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma su-durlabhah). He is called a muni fixed in mind. Such a fully Krishna conscious person is not at all disturbed by the onslaughts of the threefold miseries. Such muni accepts all miseries as mercy of the Lord, thinking that he would have been in more trouble on account of his past misdeeds, but by the grace of the Lord, the miseries have been minimised to the lowest. Similarly, when he is happy, he gives credit to the Lord, thinking himself unworthy of the happiness but only due to the Lord’s grace he is in such comfortable condition to render better service to the Lord. And for the service of the Lord he is always daring and active without being influenced by any attachment or detachment. Attachment means accepting things for one’s own sense gratification and detachment is the absence of such sensual attachment. But one fixed in mind in Krishna consciousness has no such attachment or detachment because his life is dedicated to the service of the Lord. And because he has no such sensual attachment and detachment, he is not at all angry even when he appears to be unsuccessful in his attempts. Success or no success, a Krishna conscious person is always steady in his determination.

Among other carefully chosen words he vibrates (as in vibrating mantras not as ” move continuously and rapidly to and fro”), President Reagan quotes Alexander Hamilton, (1755/1795—1804), an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first U.S. secretary of the treasury from 1789 to 1795 during George Washington’s presidency, (info supplied by Wikipedia):

“A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one.”

A Krishna conscious person is not sectarian and does not think in terms of USA, Russia, China or France and of course INDIA. Lord Krishna chose to manifest His Janma (birth) and karma (activities) in the land of INDIA, 5000 years ago and again 500 years ago in a somewhat disguised manner as Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu- the Supreme Lord in the role of His own devotee. Therefore let us declare it boldly that it is a fact that INDIA is special among all lands due to its original association with Krishna and due to Krishna choosing to associate with the land of INDIA since time immemorial. And any individual, community or nation that choses similarly to associates with Krishna, as per due procedures, will not doubt also become “special”. Everyone wants to be special and unique. Here is the formula. With 1200 centres in the world, this opportunity is now offered to everyone by the master plan of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the form of His ISKCON or International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Further information is available on premises.”The centers of the Krishna consciousness movement are the only established hospitals that can cure man of birth, death, old age and disease.” Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 10.51

A Krishna conscious individual thinks in terms of Krishna, Who alone can make the world one in peace, friendship and harmony.

Stray editors Hayagriva and Jayadvaita have poisoned Srila Prabupada’s glorious Bhagavad Gita As It Is!!!

Srila Prabhupada is the affectionate and more intimate name for His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, ISKCON, the founder of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, BBT, His publishing house, as well as the founder of the Back to Godhead Magazine, BTG in the 40ties (1940), which is still operating in the hands of His disciples in USA, although its CEO “His Holiness” (sacarstic mood) Sriman Nagaraja Prabhu posts an article here http://www.dandavats.com/?p=14324, which he cares to entitle “We’ re all in Maya”. This individual is also supposed to be my Godbrother. Frankly speaking, this is really a plain stupid title and proclamation for that which is supposed to be a Krishna conscious article from someone who is supposed to be a responsible officer for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). It also represents a lapse of judgement on the part of the dandavats website administrators. Why publish ostentatiously such a rascal article title?  

Let Nagaraja talk for himself!!!. He may be in Maya. This certainly is the proclamation of a servant of Maya Devi, the illusory energy, and not the proclamation of a Krishna bhakta. In the past, I had some distasteful dealings with this individual and he automatically assumes that the person in his front is an enemy. Without hesitation and without due diligence he at once assumes that you are his enemy. This is the sign of a demoniac mentality and perhaps the sign of a paranoid individual. Perhaps we need new blood here as Back to Godhead head executive. Perhaps we really do……

Some ISKCON preachers are always ready to shower their audiences with a copious amount of learned words mixed with some hackneyed day to day formulas, when actually they are not realising at all that their whole foundation stands on quick sands. This is true delusion. I am using this strong word “delusion” because the editors of Srila Prabhupada’s great rendition —-in he form of the Original Transcript (OT) available here: https://bookchanges.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is-manuscript—-of Lord Krishna greatest book Bhagavad Gita, the departed Hayagriva and the living Jayadvaita, have literally poisoned it with their nefarious stray activities. 

To give one example only among hundreds and perhaps thousands. In verse BG 2.63. they have illegally embezzled Srila Prabhupada’s word “illusion” for their own replacement word “delusion”. Illusion is a common matter but delusion enters the pathological realm. In a subtle way they a trying to connive that the readers of Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva and the readers of Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita are CRAZY. This is an enterprising endeavour of global manipulation, mental control and brain washing of the most underhand and vicious kind. Each and every unauthorised alteration, addition or subtraction to Srila Prabhupada’s Original Transcript (OT) truly represents a SLAP IN SRILA PRABHUPADA’S FACE. The time has come to stop this nonsense.

Srila Prabhupada glorious question may be raised here  as follows “WHO IS ACTUALLY CRAZY???” Are the readers of Bhagavad Gita As It Is crazy or are the editors of Bhagavad Gita and their followers crazy???

                                                    WHO IS ACTUALLY CRAZY?

  [or “cuckoo” as Sati Kasanova, the famous Russian singer, expresses it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWk8IRptwVs%5D

IMHO there is here an opportunity to make a very strong legal case for global dishonesty, deceit and fraud against ISKCON, the BBT and Jayadvaita Swami , the surviving editor. The first question will be:” Where in the world does the suit need to be lodged? In New York perhaps, the place where Srila Prabhupada incorporated ISKCON on July 13th 1966? In Los Angeles, or elsewhere…..?” Expert lawyers will work out these details, and please feel free to get in touch if your sense of justice is aroused by such situation where a gang of unscrupulous persons blatantly misrepresent and try to exploit on the sly a departed hero–Srila Prabhupada.

ISKCON is out of balance and needs a strong jerk to adjust its spine. It needs physiotherapy. We all need it from time to time. I visited the physiotherapist yesterday and have another appointment in two weeks. The dis-ease felt throughout the devotee community or part of the devotee community has all got to do with ISKCON’s stray interpretation of Srila Prabhupada’s and Sri Krishna’s glorious Bhagavad Gita As It Is.

For the moment we only have, on the one side, Bhagavad Gita As Is NOT by Hayagriva

and

On the other side, ISKCON’s official version, Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita.

For the last 50 years, we have been waiting and are still waiting, for Srila Prabhupada’s glorious Bhagavad Gita As It Is.

Even though I am not a corporation health expert, still I can see that much.

So if someone ask or wonders why I do not participate in the official Janmashtami and Vyasapuja ceremonies, I have just given my answers above.

However, I am neither discourteous to the Supreme Personality of Godhead nor I am discourteous to my beloved Spiritual Master, Srila Prabhupada. I am in fact, and for the future “did in fact” participate in these blissful events. I just do it in my own way and from a distance. In the old ISKCON days there was a saying, something like “Spiritual life and devotional service are like walking on a razor’s edge and all it takes is a little inattention and there can be blood.” This is certainly still valid today and therefore care and caution is required at all times and for everyone.

Taking advantage of the Queensland Government extraordinarily glorious and generous 50 cents train rides, even up to the Sunshine Coast or down to the Gold Coast, I will be going on book distribution today in Brisbane City, as well as distribute the last leaflets for ISKCON Brisbane Janmashtami celebrations. I shall be meeting the beautiful people of Brisbane on a beautiful day. What a wonderful city Brisbane is! And what gentle and considerate people they are!  I have no choice for this course of action, as after this glorious 27th day of August 20242, the leaflets will become obsolete and therefore useless. Better distribute them. As per Srila Prabhupada own slogan “Utility is the principle.”  

And tomorrow for Srila Prabhuapada pleasure, I shall release on this website what is my proposed new version 3 of Bhagavad Gita As It Is, chapter 2.

I may wish everyone a blissful, stimulating and inspiring Janmashtami day 2024 and Prabhupada Vyasapuja day 2024.

Hare Krishna.

In eternal service to Srila Prabhupada,
