Bhagavad-gita 2.19 Purport: “ma himsyat sarva bhutani”or “never commit violence to anybody.”

Purport. When an embodied living entity is hurt by fatal weapons, it is to be known that the living entity within the body is not killed. The spirit soul is so small that it is impossible to kill him by any material weapon, as will be evident from the subsequent verses. Nor is the living entity killable, on account of his spiritual constitution. What is killed or is supposed to be killed is the body only. This, however does not encourage killing of the body at all. The Vedic injunction is “ma himsyat sarva bhutani” never commit violence to anybody. To understand that a living entity is not killed does not mean encouraging animal slaughter. Even killing of the body of anyone without authority is abominable and punishable by the law of the state as well as by the law of the Lord. Arjuna, however, is being engaged in the matter of killing on principle of religion and not whimsically.

HH Jayapataka Maharaja of ISKCON expresses his concern for it’s member’s care that “ISKCON is way down on the care list”. Paramahamsa Vishwananda of Bhakti Marg masterfully gives the answer:”If you don’t realise love your live is useless!” Of course, the Beatles sang ” All you need is love” back in 1967. But the very best talk of and exchanges of divine love we find in BBT Krishna book, for example Chapter 60 “Talks between husband Krishna and wife Rukmini”.

Maharaja’s full statement can be found here: http://www.dandavats.com/?p=88925

Maharaja says for example:

“We have the most complete philosophy, and Srila Prabhupada has given us the wonderful process of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Part of that process is taking care of the devotees. Actually, Krishna says that He has nothing else to do but to take care of His devotees. And since His devotees are always thinking about Him, He is also always thinking about His devotees. So actually, devotee care is one of the primary angas or aspects of Krishna consciousness. 

However, I heard that there was a study by some outsiders where they said that of all the schools, ISKCON has the best philosophy, but when they talk about taking care of devotees, then ISKCON is way down the list. So serving the devotees and taking care of the devotees should be a part of our religion, and we should be doing that as daily work instead of feeling it is something that should be forced.”

Here is the transcription of Paramahamsa Vishwananda enlightened and enlightening words: 

“You can say prema sagai you know, which means love is the most important thing in life.

If your life is without love, your life is boring, to the extend that if you don’t realise love, your life is useless! That’s how important love is. But you have to get to know what love really is, you know. That is a life’s journey. Without really knowing what is love your life is useless. That is what our mind has to listen to. When our mind turns to the feet of the Lord, when our mind turns to the feet of God, that which awakens within our heart, we call it love.”

Then very humbly, gently and sweetly Paramahamsa Vishwananda pleads with the audience:

“So please it is posssible to say Prema Sagai?

That love relationship, not just a superficial love but the true love in the relationship……..”

LYRICS by Sant Surdas LYRICS: Sabse Ūnchī, Prema Sagāī 1) Duryodhana Ko Mevā Tyāgo Sāga Vidura Ghara Pāī 2) Jūthe Phala Sabarī Ke Khāye Bahu Vidhi Prema Lagāī 3) Prema Ke Bas Nripa Sevā Kīnhī Āp Bane Hari Nāī 4) Rājasuya Yajna Yudhishthira Kīno Tāmai Jūtha Uthāī 5) Prema Ke Basa Arjuna Ratha Hānkhyo Bhūla Gaye Thakurāī 6) Aisi Prīti Badhī Vrindāvana Gopīna Nācha Nachāī 7) Sūra Krūra Is Lāyaka Nāhī Kaha Lag Karau Badāī

TRANSLATION: Of all forms of worship of the Lord, love is the highest. 1) Lord Krishna renounced the delicacies that Duryodhana offered, and ate vegetables at Vidura’s house. 2) As Lord Ramacandra, He ate fruits which were already filled with love from Sabari. 3) Love is indeed the best way to serve and please the Lord. 4) In Maharaja Yuddhistira’s Rajasuya Yajna sacrifice, Lord Krishna served the brahmanas and picked up their eating plates. 5) Out of pure love for Arjuna, He took the position of being his charioteer, and He forgot that He was the Lord. 6) Such love did Lord Krishna portray in Vrindavana when He danced with the gopis in the Rasa Lila. 7) Sura Dasa asks, “In what way could I worship the merciful and magnanimous Lord?”

We can see that Parahamsa Vishwananda talks about Krishna Prema or true love, the purest form of love and ultimate goal of the endeavouring transcendentalists. He does not quote Shastra but speaks from a realised point of view. That is a tribute to his advancement on the path of Krishna Prema. It could be called the (successful in this case) experimental or upward approach as opposed to accepting and following authority or the downward approach. I think there are technical designations for that.

“Srimad-Bhagavatam is recognized Vedic wisdom, and the system of receiving Vedic knowledge is called avaroha-pantha, or the process of receiving transcendental knowledge through a bona fide disciplic succession.”

Ref. VedaBase => SB 2.1.10

Our humble obeisances to him!

Please find some of Srila Pabhupada’s quote on the matter: 

CC Adi Ch 7 TEXT 85

pancama purusartha — premanandamrta-sindhu

moksadi ananda yara nahe eka bindu

WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION

pancama — fifth; purusa-artha — goal of life; prema-ananda — the spiritual bliss of love of Godhead; amrta — eternal; sindhu — ocean; moksa-adi — liberation and other principles of religiosity; ananda — pleasures derived from them; yara — whose; nahe — never comparable; eka — one; bindu — drop.

TRANSLATION

“‘For a devotee who has actually developed bhava, the pleasure derived from dharma, artha, kama and moksa appears like a drop in the presence of the sea.

and further and more to the point:

CC Adi Ch 7 TEXT 144

pancama purusartha sei prema-mahadhana

krsnera madhurya-rasa karaya asvadana

WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION 

pancama — fifth; purusa-artha — goal of life; sei — that; prema — love of God; maha-dhana — foremost wealth; krsnera — of Lord Krsna; madhurya — conjugal love; rasa — mellow; karaya — causes; asvadana — taste.

TRANSLATION

“Love of Godhead is so exalted that it is considered to be the fifth goal of human life. By awakening one’s love of Godhead, one can attain the platform of conjugal love, tasting it even during the present span of life.

PURPORT

The Mayavadi philosophers consider the highest goal of perfection to be liberation (mukti), which is the fourth perfectional platform. Generally people are aware of four principal goals of life — religiosity (dharma), economic development (artha), sense gratification (kama) and ultimately liberation (moksa) — but devotional service is situated on the platform above liberation. In other words, when one is actually liberated (mukta) he can understand the meaning of love of Godhead (krsna-prema). While teaching Rupa Gosvami, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stated, koti-mukta-madhye ‘durlabha’ eka krsna-bhakta: “Out of millions of liberated persons, one may become a devotee of Lord Krsna.”

The most elevated Mayavadi philosopher can rise to the platform of liberation, but krsna-bhakti, devotional service to Krsna, is transcendental to such liberation. Srila Vyasadeva explains this fact in Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.1.2):

dharmah projjhita-kaitavo ‘tra paramo nirmatsaranam satam

vedyam vastavam atra vastu siva-dam tapa-trayonmulanam

“Completely rejecting all religions which are materially motivated, the Bhagavata Purana propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries.” Srimad-Bhagavatam, the explanation of the Vedanta-sutra, is meant for paramo nirmatsaranam, those who are completely aloof from jealousy. Mayavadi philosophers are jealous of the existence of the Personality of Godhead. Therefore the Vedanta-sutra is not actually meant for them. They unnecessarily poke their noses into the Vedanta-sutra, but they have no ability to understand it because, as the author of the Vedanta-sutra writes in his commentary, Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is meant for those who are pure in heart (paramo nirmatsaranam [SB 1.1.2]). If one is envious of Krsna, how can he understand the Vedanta-sutra or Srimad-Bhagavatam? The Mayavadis’ primary occupation is to offend the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna. For example, although Krsna demands our surrender in the Bhagavad-gita, the greatest scholar and so-called philosopher in modern India has protested that it is “not to Krsna” that we have to surrender. Therefore, he is envious. Since Mayavadis of all different descriptions are envious of Krsna, they have no scope for understanding the meaning of the Vedanta-sutra. Even if they were on the liberated platform, as they falsely claim, love of Krsna is beyond the state of liberation — a fact stated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and repeated here by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami.

and then we come to the limit of human live’s advancement

CC Madhya Ch9, TEXT 261

sravana-kirtana ha-ite krsne haya ‘prema’

sei pancama purusartha-purusarthera sima

Word for word rendition.

sravana-kirtana — hearing and chanting; ha-ite — from; krsne — unto Lord Krsna; haya — there is; prema — transcendental love; sei — that; pancama purusa-artha — the fifth platform of perfection of life; purusa-arthera sima — the limit of goals of life.

TRANSLATION

“When one comes to the platform of loving service to Lord Krsna by executing these nine processes, beginning with hearing and chanting, he has attained the fifth platform of success and the limit of life’s goals.

PURPORT

Everyone is after success in religion, economic development, sense gratification and ultimately merging into the existence of Brahman. These are the general practices of the common man, but according to the strict principles of the Vedas, the highest attainment is to rise to the platform of sravanam kirtanam [SB 7.5.23], hearing and chanting about the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.1.2):

dharmah projjhita-kaitavo ‘tra paramo nirmatsaranam satam

vedyam vastavam atra vastu siva-dam tapa-trayonmulanam

srimad-bhagavate maha-muni-krte kim va parair isvarah

sadyo hrdy avarudhyate ‘tra krtibhih susrusubhis tat-ksanat

“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 Sri Vyasadeva, 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 Bhagavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.” This verse of Srimad-Bhagavatam rejects as cheating processes all religious activities that aim at achieving materialistic goals, including dharma, artha, kama and even moksa, or liberation.

According to Sridhara Svami, the material conception of success (moksa, or liberation) is desired by those in material existence. Devotees, however, not being situated in material existence, have no desire for liberation.

A devotee is always liberated in all stages of life because he is always engaged in the nine items of devotional service (sravanam, kirtanam, etc.). Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s philosophy holds that devotional service to Krsna always exists in everyone’s heart. It simply has to be awakened by the process of sravanam kirtanam visnoh [SB 7.5.23]. Sravanadi suddha-citte karaye udaya (Cc. Madhya 22.107). When a person is actually engaged in devotional service, his eternal relationship with the Lord, the servant-master relationship, is awakened.

and CC Madhya 23 Ch 101

sanksepe kahilun ei ‘prayojana’-vivarana

pancama-purusartha — ei ‘krsna-prema’-dhana

Word for word rendition.

sanksepe kahilun — briefly I have spoken; ei — this; prayojana-vivarana — description of the ultimate achievement; pancama-purusa-artha — the fifth and ultimate goal of life; ei — this; krsna-prema-dhana — the treasure of love of Krsna.

TRANSLATION

“This brief description is an elaboration of the ultimate goal of life. Indeed, this is the fifth and ultimate goal, which is beyond the platform of liberation. It is called krsna-prema-dhana, the treasure of love for Krsna.

Further 680706 SB.Mon…..

The Sridhara Swami, a great commentator on Srimad-Bhagavatam, he says, atra moksa, moksabhisandhy api nirastam: “Oh, the Srimad-Bhagavatam is above the idea of liberation.” So unless we come to that point, pancama purusartha, fifth dimension… The dharma, first; the artha, second; kama, third; moksa, fourth; and devotion is the fifth, fifth platform. Adhoksaja. Adhoksaja. 

There are different stages of understanding: pratyaksa, paroksa, aparaksa, adhoksaja, aprakrta. The ordinary understanding, direct perception, is called pratyaksa. Now, higher than the pratyaksa understanding is paroksa, means to gather knowledge from the higher authorities. And above that, aparoksa, realization. And above that, adhoksaja. Adhoksaja means beyond the understanding of these material senses. And above that, there is aprakrta, completely transcendental. So the bhakti is on the transcendental platform, beyond the adhoksaja. [break]

and 721021ND.VRN…..

Moksa means liberation. So Bhagavata says that dharma artha kama moksa, they are thrown away from the study of Srimad-Bhagavatam. And Sridhara Swami confirms it: atra moksa-vancah-paryantam nirastam. A devotee is above the point of liberation. The devotional service is called pancama-purusartha [Cc Adi 7.85]. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given His opinion: prema pumartho mahan. Not dharma is pumarthah. Our ultimate goal of life is neither dharma nor artha, religiosity, economic development; kama, sense gratification; and moksa, liberation.

and 721101ND.VRN…..

Moksa means liberation. So Bhagavata says that dharma artha kama moksa, they are thrown away from the study of Srimad-Bhagavatam. And Sridhara Swami confirms it: atra moksa-vancah-paryantam nirastam. A devotee is above the point of liberation. The devotional service is called pancama-purusartha [Cc Adi 7.85]. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given His opinion: prema pumartho mahan. Not dharma is pumarthah. Our ultimate goal of life is neither dharma nor artha, religiosity, economic development; kama, sense gratification; and moksa, liberation.

and finally as per Vedabase hit list for “pancama artha” 770301 SB.MAY

Therefore we have to develop our bhakti, love for Krsna. Prema pumartho mahan, Caitanya Mahaprabhu has advised. People are after dharma artha-kama moksa, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “No, even if you become liberated, moksa, that is not the qualification to get favor of Krsna.” Prema pumartho mahan. Pancama-purusartha. People are trying to be very religious. That is good. Then economic. Dharma artha. Artha means economically very rich, opulent. Then kama, very expert in sense enjoyment. And then mukti. This is general demand. But Bhagavata says, “No, these things are not qualification.” Dharmah projjhita-kaitavo ‘tra [SB 1.1.2].

HAYAGRIVA, JAYADVAITA AND SUPPORTERS BEWARE !!!

Both you editors Hayagriva and Jayadvaita and supporters are so very much 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., to give a single example only. There are hundreds and perhaps thousands of such instances.

What an imposture all along! What fake presentation in the name of Srila Prabhupada. What misleading of the world and the devotee community takes place here!

Not only that, but you also sneakily remove any Prabhupada reference and statement that could expose your nefarious activities, by removing for instance completely the very words “puffed up” from the original Prabhupada formulation in OT BG 2.56.

——————————————————-

And where has the last sentence of OT BG 2.7, Purport, gone?: “And one who attempts to comment on the Bhagavad-gita without knowing this science is the greatest pretender.” Why did you remove it? Did you feel again that Prabhupada was pointing His finger at you?

————————————————-

4.2 Srila Prabhupada’s “This science of the relationship with the Supreme” becomes “this supreme science.” NOT ACCEPTABLE! REJECTED!

—————————————————

3.21 lots to be said here

Flagrant sexism here. They don’t even realise how sexist they are. Srila Prabhupada writes “anyone who desires to improve” and we can see that someone scribbled “himself” on the OT But Hayagriva misses the sentence. Perhaps he was on drugs. Who kows? But Jayadvaita gives ” anyone whom wants to improve HIMSELF. That’s flagrant sexism by all standard. They dont even realise how sexist they are. That means they are a loooooooong way from Krishna consciousness.

_______________________________

3.21 So definitely not “great man” as falsely introduced by Hayagriva and rubber stamped by Jayadvaita but Prabhupada’s “respectable leader of human society” yes!

____________________

3.20 Here Jayadvaita stubbornly subtracts twice the expression “and others”, once in the verse and then in the purport again. What a mule! Prabhupada writes it in the first place and Hayagriva renders it as it is, but the mule Jayadvaita refuses to render it.

________________________

Why was the word “industrialist” erased from BGAII 10.36? Why? Another slap in Srila Prabhupada’s face!

_______________

In OT BG 2.7, purport, Srila Prabhupada writes “…one must approach a spiritual master with Samit (underlined and capitalised by Srila Prabhupada) or ingredients for initiation from the spiritual master, who is in the line of discipline succession…” They just dropped it. Another lazy cheating and betrayal!

___________________

BGAII 3.18

Is the fact that Srila Prabhupada uses the expression “a self realised, Krishna conscious man” in OT purport a sufficient reason to replace His expression ” A self realised person (in Krishna consciousness) in the OT verse itself? Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, we believe it is NOT and we shall call both editors sexist. Besides that why did they drop the expressions “Krishna conscious” and “Krishna consciousness”. That is not acceptable either.

________________________

BGAII 3.17 purport.

Last words of purport “like wine, women and similar infatuations” are a pretty gross non-Prabhupada addition created and introduced by Hayagriva and rubber stamped by Jayadvaita

______________________

BGAII 3.16, purport.

Srila Prabhupada:

“Indirectly, it is the practice of Krishna consciousness, because when advanced in such performances of yajnas, one is sure to become Krishna conscious.”

Hayagriva:

“Indirectly, it is the practice of Krishna consciousness, because when ONE MASTERS THE performance of yajnas, one is sure to become Krishna conscious.”

Jayadvaita: 

“Indirectly, it is the practice of Krishna consciousness, because when ONE MASTERS THE performance of yajnas, one is sure to become Krishna conscious.”

This is why I have declared WAR to ISKCON and the BBT.

 

________________________________

Totally whimsical Jayadvaita in BGAII 10.42 Purport. Why mission with a capital “M”, especially if he adheres to “the less capitals, the better.” as Dravida impressed upon me.


—————————————-

In BG 18.66 both editors removed the expression “in return”. That is a SYMPTOM and PROOF OF GREED AND LAZYNESS. They will take every possible thing from you and give you nothing because they are lazy and greedy thieves. Beware!!! `

—————————————

In BGAII 6.42 both editors cheapen the whole thing by downgrading Srila Prabhupada’s affirmation that taking birth in a family of transcendentalists is very rare. Of course, they know much better than Srila Prabhupada and state that such a birth is “rare” only, meaning Srila Prabhupada is an old idiot and fool. Boot in their face they deserve for such an attitude!!!

______________________

In BG 3.13, both editors get the credit for respecting Srila Prabhupada’s somewhat archaic expression of “compact of love”.

_____________________

They also embezzled the following sentence from BG 2.7, purport: “And one who attempts to comment on the Bhagavad Gita without knowing this science is the greatest pretender.”

Srila Prabhupada made it the last sentence of BG 2.7 Purport. But through the dishonesty of the editors it has disappeared. No one likes dishonest people. They cannot be trusted. One should avoid them like plague or they might ruin oneself.

Bhagavad Gita 18.42 reads:

shamo damas tapah shaucam
ksantir arjavam eva ca
jnanam vijnanam astikyam
brahma-karma svabhava-jam

TRANSLATION


Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness — these are the natural qualities by which the brahmanas work.

Ref. VedaBase => Bg 18.42

The Sanskrit “arjavam” means “honesty”.

They are not brahmins. They are pretenders. They are hypocrites.

_____________________________________

Both editors edit the word “false” into for example “senseless” in BG 2.1P or avoid it altogether. That is symptomatic of a certain trait of their character. It means that they themselves harbour something false in themselves. They are bluffers. They are cheaters. They are misleaders. They are rascals. They are wolves among the sheep.

Both in the verse and purport of BG 2.2 they embezzle away the expression “dirty thing(s)”, three times all-together. We will guess, it is because their own hearts are very dirty. Same again in BG 2.61 purport.

Please take action.

We are not in the business of inciting violence.

I repeat again: We are not at all in the business of inciting violence.

We are in the business of quoting Srila Prabhupada, the Founder of ISKCON, the BBT and BTG magazine with a relevant quote for the relevant circumstances.

In such cases of blatant dishonesty and global fraud, Srila Prabhupada had a special formula as follows:

KIck them in their faces with boot.

For the last 50 years, this phrase itself has been hidden from the general public by straying and dishonest editors.

___________________

And how else can we explain the fact that they always write “Chapter” and the chapter’s number with capital letters but to say that this is truly superstition.

These editors are superstitious !!!

This is the mode of ignorance.

________________________________

Horrible condense job on BG 2.69, purport.

_____________________

SEXISM in 2.67 where Srila Prabhupada’s “person”becomes a “man”. And because the word is associated with intelligence it is even more insulting to women because in this case they deprive women of any intelligence.

SEXISM in BG 2.72 where Srila Prabhupada’s “nobody”becomes a “man”.

_________________________________________

In BG 2.63, Iskcon, the BBt, Hayagriva and Jayadvaita are trying to convince the world that all people are crazy because they replace Srila Prabhupada’s “illusion” with “delusion”. And after repeating things thousands of time it becomes a realty. This is a very subtle criminal enterprise of manipulation, mind control and brainwashing and will get worse as time passes if no action is taken.

Here is my MacBook definition of “delusion”:

delusion | dɪˈl(j)uːʒn | noun a false belief or judgment about external reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, occurring especially in mental conditions:

Whereas “illusion” is a benign condition.

Dated Aug 24 2024

————————————————————–


And in BG 2.61 P there a typical example of Jayadvaita’s only flaming imagination where he makes a “blazing fire” out of “small flames ” as given by both by Srila Prabhuapada and Hayagriva Prabhu. This is typical of his cheating tendency and also his somewhat sinister tendency to create fear in the mind of the reader by exaggerating out of proportion. What rascaldom! He has definitely lost his position as editor. He is definitely dismissed from his editor’s position.

This is a technic for manipulating people and probably borders with brain washing.

He probably belongs to the same class of people who originally created and now perpetrate the lie that Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross. Let us beware of these type of individuals.

In his unyielding pride, Jayadvaita is simply bluffing like an ordinary conditioned soul and taking and misleading the whole of ISKCON as well as the whole world with him. What rascaldom. He needs to be stopped!

How can he be trusted?

HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!

———————————-

And why do these obsolete and redundant editors have a tendency to just drop whole expressions used by Srila Prabhupada. This represents always an impoverishment and a kind of castration of Srila Prabhupada’s message to the world. Why do they do that???

In BG 2.61 they dropped “from the turmoil created by the sage” The word “turmoil”, as always, is so carefully and expertly picked by Srila Parbhupada!

from”On the other hand, the King, although not a yogi as powerful as the sage and yet a devotee of the Lord, silently tolerated all injustice of the sage, and thus came out victorious from the turmoil created by the sage. “

which becomes the poorer sentence

“On the other hand, the King, although not a yogi as powerful as the sage and yet a devotee of the Lord, silently tolerated all injustice of the sage, and thus came out victorious. “

___________________________________________

WHAT STUBBORN STUPIDITY of CHAOTIC AND WHIMSICAL MINDS!

BG 2.59 is all about taste. But here both editors replace Srila Prabhupada’s “taste” with their arrogant and stupid concoction”knowledge”.

In OT Srila Prabupada writes:

“Similary, sense restrictions by some spiritual process like astanga-yoga, in the matter of yam, niyam, asana,pranayam, dhyana dharana pratyahara etc., are recommended for the less intelligent persons who have no better taste.”

Both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita come up with their arrogant and stupid concoction:

“Similary, sense restrictions by some spiritual process like astanga-yoga, in the matter of yam, niyam, asana,pranayam, dhyana dharana pratyahara etc., are recommended for the less intelligent persons who have no better knowledge.”  

Whereas in the next verse BG2.60, these chaotic and whimsical minds just do the opposite and drop Srila Prabhupada’s”knowledge” from

“O son of Kunti, the senses are so strong that they forcibly carry away the mind toward sense enjoyment, even of a man with full discriminating knowledge who is endeavouring to control them.”

to

“The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them.”

without even mentioning the other illegal and evident alterations.

__________________________________

Another falsification in BG 2.51 where “planets” become “death.”

In OT Srila Prabhupada writes:

But one who understands his real constitutional position as eternal servitor of the Lord, and thus knows the position of the Personality of Godhead, certainly engages himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord and thus becomes qualified for entering into the Vaikuntha planets, where there is no material, miserable life nor the influence of time and the planets. 

and current version says:

But one who understands his real constitutional position as the eternal servitor of the Lord, and thus knows the position of the Personality of Godhead, engages himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Consequently he becomes qualified to enter into the Vaikuntha planets, where there is neither material, miserable life nor the influence of time and death.

———————————————————

Here BG 2.51 P. is another misinterpretation.

In OT Srila Prabhupada writes: “He does not know that any kind of material body and anywhere within the universe cannot give life without any miseries.”

which becomes in the mind of the fake editors:

“They do not know that no kind of material body anywhere within the universe can give life without miseries.”

Can you spot the difference?

_______________________________________

Bg 2.48 P, again the editors foolishly dare to correct Srila Prabhupada, their Guru.

Srila Prabhupada writes: “Yoga means to concentrate the mind upon the Supreme by controlling the ever-disturbing mind”, which makes perfect sense.

They have crossed out “mind” and in hand writing have added “the sense” thus: “Yoga means to concentrate the mind upon the Supreme by controlling the ever-disturbing senses.”

Here again in Bg 2.48 P., both editors display their foolish and offensive audacity towards Guru. The editors’ unspoken message is again:”Don’t you know, you foolish and senile Srila Prabhupada, that it is not the mind that’s ever disturbing but the sense instead. We know that for sure because you have taught us so.” Its like biting the hand that feeds you. Such rascaldom!

When the great acharya Madhavendra Puri was on his death bed and was crying in ecstasy of love of Godhead, His disciple Ramacandra Puri dared to fearlessly instruct his spiritual master as follows:””If you are in full transcendental bliss,” he said, “you should now remember only Brahman. Why are you crying?”

Srila Madhavendra Puri’s reply came with lightning speed: “Get out you sinful rascal” CC Antya, Ch. 8 text 22

and

Antya Ch8 text 24:””Don’t show your face to me! Go anywhere else you like. If I die seeing your face, I shall not achieve the destination of my life.”

Antya Ch8 text 99:”If one’s spiritual master rejects him, one becomes so fallen that he, like Ramacandra Puri, commits offenses even to the Supreme Personality of Godhead

__________________________________

We also note that Srila Prabhupada’s “fruitive” is not to be found in any of my English dictionaries. Does that mean we have to ban this word? Not at all. Let the proud and abundantly populated dictionaries adapt to Srila Prabhupada, a master brahmin in education and culture, and introduce the word in around the input “fruit”. Now we shall find frugivorous, fruit, fruitage, fruit cake, fruited, fruiterer, fruit fly, fruition, fruitless, fruit sugar, frumenttaceous. But we dont find FRUITIVE. Its quite symptomatic, because really no one wants to admit their greediness. The analysis of a people’s language is a snapshot of their mental make up. This science is called philology.

We all know what Srila Prabhupada says about the English language:

“Yes, Sanskrit is spoken not only on Krishna Loka but also in higher planets, of the demigods. It is called the language of God and the demigods. It was spoken also on this planet, when people were all godly, they used to speak in Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the origin of all languages of the civilized peoples. It is most perfect, not only descriptive; the word “Sanskrit” means “the most perfect”. Because not a single word you can pronounce without having a bona fide principle. It is not like the English language, “but, put” with irrational difference in pronunciation, no principles. Sanskrit isn’t like that. Therefore it is perfect. It isn’t whimsical. English poetry has one line one inch long, next line 600 inches long. Sanskrit is not like that. There are strict principles, and it is so beautiful. Therefore in Sanskrit language not an ordinary man can become a poet. No other language of the world can be compared with it. No other language of the world is so perfect as Sanskrit. Any language near to Sanskrit language (like Bengali) is nearer to perfection. Sanskrit is pronounced same way here or there, it is standard.

______________________

On two further occasions both editors want to be superior to Guru. What foolishness! This is also an attempt to mislead and brainwash the readers of Bhagavad-gita.

BG 2.39. Srila Prabhupada never wrote “imposter Kapila”, he writes “imitation Kapila”

But we may call them imposters. Imposter Hayagriva and imposter Jayadvaita.

And in BG 2.40, Srila Prabhupada never wrote the following sentence . “Or as the Christians says, What profiteth a man if he gains the whole world, yet suffer the loss of his eternal soul.”

This is a cheating import of imposter Hayagriva and imposter Jayadvaita .

__________________________________

In BG 2.41 both editors again have embezzled not only once but twice the expression ” Krishna consciousness”. This is nothing less than demoniac.

____________________________________


I

One positive point. In BG 2.40 P last paragraph both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita change Prabhupada’s “man” into a gender neutral expression. That is a good move.

_____________________________

We also note that the editors systematically drop Srila Prabhupada’s adverb “kindly” from the verses. “Kindly” is an adverb that smoothes up communication and kindness relates deeply to the humanity of every human being. In BG 10.12-13 they have unlawfully removed the expression “my dear Krishna”, an expression of affection. In other words, Srila Prabhupada originally introduced an element of kindness into the Gita and these editors and their supporters have brutally and surgically cut it out. No kindness here!!! No wonder HH Jayapataka Maharaja writes here http://www.dandavats.com/?p=88925 that a scientific analysis has found that ISKCON rates very low on the scale of devotee care.

The editors also seem to have a visceral aversion for some English words that Srila Prabhupada is very fond of such as “nobody”, “callous”, “poor fund of knowledge”(BG 2,29 P and blatantly in verse 2.42-43 and three times in purport as well), “kindly”, “opposite number”, “freaks” (Bg 2.8 P) and “brahmin” (BG 2.7 P & BG 2.31 ) This are Prabhupadisms the world should become acquainted with and use in everyday language. That degree of familiarity with Srila Prabhupada’s message and terminology will be a great victory for the Krishna consciousness movement! BTW my MacBook dictionary completely endorses “brahmin”. So, again, we ought to follow in Srila Prabhupada’s footsteps and use the word “brahmin”, instead of “brahmana”. Because of the combination of the two vowels “a” and “I”, “brahmin” sound much better, whereas “brahmana” offers only a hackneyed repetition of three “a”s There is also a music to literature, which is not to neglected!

The word “please” is eradicated from BG 2.37. What is wrong with “please”. What is wrong with being polite in ordinary affairs? And why did Srila Prabhupada attract such a world following? Part of the reasons is that he was extremely courteous, tactful, clever and compassionate.

——————————————————

In Bg 18.78 these pretender editors even have the foolishness and/or temerity to push out the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself from His own book!

Srila Prabhupada writes:

BG 18.78 Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics and Supreme Personality of Godhead, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power and morality. That is my opinion. 

Both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita write:

“Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.

Clearly these 2 low lives are not interested in morality. They have no morality. And above all they are not interested in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They are simply seeking opulence, victory and extraordinary power. But how can one get one without the other?

Actually this is demoniac!

To minus Krishna from anywhere, especially from His own book Bhagavad-gita is demoniac par excellence.

These two editors Hayagriva and Jayadvaita are demons .

We allow ourselves to be lead by demons.

Please take action.

——————————————

In BG 2.25, very last part of the purport, Srila Prabhupada writes in the Original Transcript:

“As eternally unchangeable, he remains atomic always in comparison to the Infinite Supreme Soul. The Supreme Soul is infinite and the atomic soul is infinitesimal. Therefore, the infinitesimal soul, being unchangeable, can never become equal with the infinite soul, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such things are repeatedly being stated in different ways, just to confirm the stability of the conception of the soul. Repetition of something is to understand the thing nicely, without any error.” 

Jayadvaita and current official version of Bhagavad-gita As It Is give:

As eternally unchangeable, the soul remains atomic in comparison to the infinite Supreme Soul. The Supreme Soul is infinite, and the atomic soul is infinitesimal. Therefore, the infinitesimal soul, being unchangeable, can never become equal to the infinite soul, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This concept is repeated in the Vedas in different ways just to confirm the stability of the conception of the soul. Repetition of something is necessary in order that we understand the matter thoroughly, without error.

First of all there is the very old question of use of capital letters.

Simple logic would dictate that if we add another adjective to the expression “Supreme Soul”, that adjective would also require a capital letter such as “the Infinite Supreme Soul” and not ” the infinite Supreme Soul”. This is the power of association with the Supreme!

And what business have the editors to arrogantly correct Guru in the last two lines?

“Such things are repeatedly being stated in different ways, just to confirm the stability of the conception of the soul. Repetition of something is to understand the thing nicely, without any error.” becomes “This concept is repeated in the Vedas in different ways just to confirm the stability of the conception of the soul. Repetition of something is necessary in order that we understand the matter thoroughly, without error.”

Both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita intellectualise Srila prabhupada’s “such thing into” “this concept”. Let Srila Prabhupada’s, in some cases simple language, flow to the people of the word and you editors please get out the way. You are a hindrance only. Same applies to the last sentence.

Neither are we fools. We know that this takes place “in the Vedas” If this precision would have been required, Srila Prabhupada would have added it. Don’t try to be smarter than Guru and correct Him unnecessarily!

You are of no help, you are simply a hindrance to the flow of Guru’s mercy. Let us revert to Srila Prabhupada’s original phraseology and you so-called editors get out the way or you will be washed away into oblivion by the powerful flow of Srila Prabhupad’s mercy. You are redundant and obsolete pretenders!

______________________________

In Bg 2.24, purport, we encounter Srila Prabhupada, the perfect logician, who on the premise that the soul cannot be burned, concludes that there are living entities even on the sun planet. We invite those who doubt such a statement just to go and have a look :):):)

We also note that the editors illegally replaced Srila Prabhupada’s “false” with “meaningless”, as the very last word of purport 2.24

In Bg 2.27, purport, however, both editors embezzle Srila Prabhupada’s opening expression “according to logicians”.Why is being done? What is the real reason that motivates the editors? Logicians don’t seem to be welcome here, whereas Srila Prabhupada Himself is the greatest logician. This smacks of manipulation, mind control and plain dishonesty. And if we follow a dishonest version of a great book, we ourselves certainly will become dishonest.

______________________________________________

In BG 2.29, purport, very first sentence, the over-intelligent editors embezzle again Prabhupada’s word “parallel”. This is not at all acceptable, as “parallel” is a scientific term and belongs to the world of mathematics. As opposed to cow-dung-minds, there is rigor, in Prabhupad’s character, an essential component for an empire builder.

Here is Srila Prabhupada rendition:

“Since Gitopanishad is fully based on the principles of the Upanishads, an exactly parallel passage appears in the Katha (Prabhupada: Katho) Upanishad appears as follows:”

We may also ask why does Srila Prabhupada insist on “KathO Upanishad” He may have a valid reason.

__________________________________________________

And compare Srila Prabhupada’s

“This sense of realization that the atomic soul is present within the body of a gigantic animal, in the body of a gigantic banyan tree, and that the same small atomic soul is also present in the microbic germs of which millions and billion in number can be accomodated in an inch of space – is certainly very, very amazing for the common man.” in BG OT 2.29

to the current

“The fact that the atomic soul is within the body of a gigantic animal, in the body of a gigantic banyan tree, and also in the microbic germs, millions and billions of which occupy only an inch of space, is certainly very amazing.”

IT HAS BECOME SO IMPOVERISHED!!!

WHAT A LITERARY MASSACRE!!!

________________________________________________________

and just see BG 2.30’s drastic changes and plain sloppy work from Srila Prabhupada’s

2.30 O descendant of Bharata, the owner of the body can never be killed. As such you do not need to lament for any living entity.

Purport. 2.30 The Lord now concludes the chapter of instruction about the immutable spirit soul. Beginning from “asocyan anvasocas tvam” (Bhagavad-gita 2.11) up to ”dehi nityam avadhyo ‘yam” (Bhagavad-gita 2.30), He has described about the immortal soul in various ways and in every step He has tried to establish that the soul is immortal, but that the body is temporary. Therefore Arjuna as a ksatriya should not have deviated from his duty out of fear that his grandfather or teacher, like Bishma and Drona respectively, would die in the battle. On the authority of Sri Krishna, one has to believe therefore that there is a soul different from the material body, and one should not believe that there is no such thing as soul, but that living symptoms develop at a certain stage of material maturity as a result from the interaction of chemicals. Violence is not encouraged with the knowledge that the soul is immortal. But at the same time war is not discouraged when there is actual need for it. That is justified in terms of the sanction of the Lord, and not capriciously.

to the current offical rendition

Verses BG 2.30. O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the body can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any living being.

Purport 2.230 The Lord now concludes the chapter of instruction on the immutable spirit soul. In describing the immortal soul in various ways, Lord Krsna establishes that the soul is immortal and the body is temporary. Therefore Arjuna as a ksatriya should not abandon his duty out of fear that his grandfather and teacher — Bhisma and Drona — will die in the battle. On the authority of Sri Krsna, one has to believe that there is a soul different from the material body, not that there is no such thing as soul, or that living symptoms develop at a certain stage of material maturity resulting from the interaction of chemicals. Though the soul is immortal, violence is not encouraged, but at the time of war it is not discouraged when there is actual need for it. That need must be justified in terms of the sanction of the Lord, and not capriciously.

Ref. VedaBase => Bg 2.30

______________________________________________



In OT BG 2.35 Srila Prabhupada uses the word “fig” as he uses it also in the Krishna book chapter “Talks between Krishna and Rukmini”: “All these princes were very much puffed up with their worldly possessions and did not care a fig for anyone who came before them.” In fact Srila Prabhupada Vedabase uses the word “fig” 122 times. My point is that we should keep the word “fig” in BG 2.35, perhaps as follows:

“The great generals who had very high estimation for your name and fame will consider that you have left the battlefield out of fear only, and thus they will not care a fig for you.”

_________________________________________________

And again in the last sentence and even last words of BG 2.34, purport, and in innumerable other instances in the same Bhagavad-gita, smart-arses Hayagriva and Jayadvaita find Srila Prabhupada’s formulation: “So the final judgement of the Lord on Arjuna was to die in the battle, and not to go away.” perhaps too simple and feel an urge to replace it with their so-called more educated formulas: ” So, the final judgment of the Lord was for Arjuna to die in the battle and not withdraw.”

Clearly, the unspoken message here again is that Srila Prabhupada really is an uneducated fool from a backward country. What proud, treacherous and offensive rascaldom!

___________________________________________________

Ref. VedaBase => Bg 2.35

This is subversion at its best. Let us bring back Srila Prabhupada into His own literary production after pushing Him viciously and brutally out of it!

Therefore I am rightly advertising, for the time being, we only have two versions of Srila Prabhupada’s jewel Bhagavad-gita As It Is as follows:

Free wheeling Bhagavad-gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva Das, full of mistakes that a primary school child will very easily spot and correct. But no one does anything about it. Who will take this seriously? And what an embarrassment for Srila Prabhupada!

and

Free wheeling Bhagavad-gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita, the abracadabra version.

And above all, what an affront to Srila Prabhupada!

Every time we change Srila Prabhupada’s parampara version unnecessarily, (the Original Transcript version (OT) is the closest we have to a parampara version at this stage and it is in bad shape too), and replace it with our own private, nonsense speculations or support such illegal changes, WE POSITIVELY SLAP SRILA PRABHUPADA IN THE FACE. and mislead the whole world as well. Do we really think this will go unpunished? .

This is what Srila Prabhupada designates as utter foolishness and rascaldom.

A fool is always a rascal because he is a fool and will mess things up.

But rascals can be malevolently very intelligent in introducing their own hidden agendas.

They deserve to be cut down unceremoniously!

Hopefully Lord Krishna will see to that.

The great authority Sukadeva Gosvami remarks that Krsna almost always passed His time with Rukmini, and Rukmini was a bit proud to be so fortunate that Krsna never left her even for a moment. Krsna, however, does not like any of His devotees to be proud. As soon as a devotee becomes so, by some tactic He cuts down that pride. In this case also, Krsna said many things which were hard for Rukmini to hear. She could only conclude that although she was proud of her position, Krsna could be separated from her at any moment.

Ref. VedaBase => KB 60: Talks Between Krsna and Rukmini

BG 18.42, version 3, states about honesty, in Sanskrit language “arjavam”:

“18.42 Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness—these are the natural qualities by which the brahmins work.” 

Please take action.

We are not in the business of inciting violence.

I repeat again: We are not in the business of inciting violence.

We are in the business of quoting Srila Prabhupada, the Founder of ISKCON, the BBT and BTG magazine with a relevant quote for the relevant circumstances.

In such cases of blatant dishonesty and global fraud, Srila Prabhupada had a special formula as follows:

KIck them in their faces with boot.

He was at the time addressing the scientists, who are bluffing the states out of billions of dollars for their childish games like going to the moon.

Sounds a bit like a Stalinist savagery, is it not??? We certainly are spiritual communists. There is no doubt about that. That’s what we have in common with China. We are spiritual communists. I mean mostly the communist part of the expression. Not sure about the spiritual part. I have never been to China. Some devotees reside in China, others regularly visit China. May be talking to them will help. But nothing can replace the direct experience. For the time being, I cannot move internationally, as I am in the process of changing my name to something more spiritual. I lodged my electronic application yesterday 29th of September 2024 at the Queensland Registry of Birth, Death and Marriages, at the cost of AU$ 205 something.

Funny thing is that, in the old days of ISKCON, there was a rumour that Srila Prabhupada had said that the Chinese will join Krishna consciousness last and will become the strongest advocates for Krishna consciousness. Rumor or reality? Who knows? Well informed readers please give your comment. We depend on you. Thank you.

The modern theory of dialectical communism, set forth by Karl Marx and followed by communist governments, is not perfect. According to Vedic communism, no one in the state should ever starve. Presently there are many bogus institutions which are collecting funds from the public for the purpose of giving food to starving people, but these funds are invariably misused. According to the Vedic instructions, the government should arrange things in such a way that there will be no question of starvation. In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is stated that a householder must see to it that even a lizard or a snake does not starve. They also must be given food. In actuality, however, there is no question of starvation because everything is the property of the Supreme Lord, and He sees to it that there is ample arrangement for feeding everyone. In the Vedas (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13) it is said: eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman. The Supreme Lord supplies the necessities of life to everyone, and there is no question of starvation. If anyone starves, it is due to the mismanagement of the so-called ruler, governor or president. Ref. VedaBase => SB 4.22.45

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!

Srila Prabhupada Japa.

For the advancement of Krishna consciousness we recommend the constant hearing of this particular production. Constant means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, just as the Goswamis of Vrndavan used to constantly be engaged in devotional service of the Lord. Sri Caitanya Mahapabhu in His Siksastaka also recommends: “Kirtaniya sada Hari”. One has to chant the glories of the Lord always……….or as close as possible to “always” or “constant”.

This is an excellent production. Congratulations to the producers! It lasts 2 hours and forty seven minutes. So no need to constantly refresh. It has no music or other super-imposed sentimental distractions. It is the same Prabhupada chanting as we had in the early days of the Hare Krishna movement, in the seventies (1970es). I am therefore assuming that it is very genuine. Other productions artificially speed up the chanting, whereas this genuine production resounds in your mind even when you stop hearing it. There is a need for an ultimate shelter for the raging and uncontrolled mind. This is it! Chanting Hare Krishna mantra is the perfection of the thinking process, which may sound simple. But it just is. We can play this Prabhupada Japa sound while we are chanting our own rounds of Hare Krishna mantra. We can play it while sleeping and be spiritually benefitted even while sleeping :):):), just loud enough not be unnecessarily awoken. Of course our bank accounts also accumulate interest at night when we are sleeping. So earning material or spiritual benefits while sleeping is not such an unusual thing.

Besides chanting the prescribed number of rounds, it is sometimes the best policy just to hit the mind with a dose of

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Our Param Guru Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Maharaja used to say we should beat the mind with broom and stick, mornings and evenings. This may sound strong and even violent and lets us not bloody our minds in any case. There is a limit to tapasya or austerity, when tapasya becomes harmful. In the early days of ISKCON in Germany, at the famous Schloss Rettershof near Frankfurt, currently advertised as as a romantic hotel, we used to do special tapasya by bathing outside in the winter with cold water. The situation was such that as soon as the water reached the floor it became ice. It was ok then but I shall not do it again now. At Kumbha Mela in Allahabad, where is it quite cold, we hear that Srila Prabupada Himself , the Acharya, did wait till the sun was up in the sky to take His bath. Schloss Rettershof is also the place where German police, one weekend morning, came to arrest us all with machine pistols and dogs. We were released the same day. The tactics of some of our samkirtan people were just unacceptable.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada Who BTW doesn’t look too pleased on this picture! He seems to be sceptical about something. Certainly not about the process of Krishna consciousness itself!

Whereas the above is a shameless manipulation of Srila Prabhupada’s voice. Srila Prabhupada never chanted at such speed.

The current formulation of verse 28, chapter 2 of Bhagavad-gita As It Is is absolutely NONSENSICAL.

Whence we may call version number two “the abracadabra Bhagavad-gita,” whereas the previous version, number one, is filled with mistakes that even a child in primary school will spot and correct as is the case in the purport to verse 10.34. But the real parampara version is still missing.

Srila Prabhupada is never under the modes of ignorance and passion, as we, ourselves, may be and exhibit the symptoms of the lower modes of nature. Srila Prabhupada is always transcendentally situated and as always Srila Prabhupada basically writes very carefully and cautiously in OT BG 2.28:

“All that are created were non-manifested before, and only in the middle are they manifested, and when vanquished they become non-manifested again. So what need is there for lamentation?”  

Both Hayagriva and Jayadvaita write:

“All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?”

First of all we ought to stick to Srila Prabhupada’s nomenclature of manifested and non-manifested.

The contradiction and absurdity lies in the proposal: “All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, …” This is a nonsensical and foolish proposal. A soon as there is beginning there is manifestation. There cannot be non-manifestation at creation, just as water and fire are incompatible. Non-manifestation is before the creation. Neither can here be creation in the non-manifested state. Creation and manifestation take place simultaneusly. As Srila Prabhupada clearly expresses it in one single word “”All that are created were non-manifested before….”

Again my question to the editors will be : DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT SRILA PRABHUPADA IS A FOOL??? DO YOU NONSENSES REALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN SRILA PRABHUPADA? You have just demonstrated the opposite.

Or do you perhaps think that Srila Prabhupada is some old Indian culturally and educationally retarded guy Who needs to catch up with the great, perhaps decadent, ways of American culture? It is not a matter of adapting Srila Prabhupada to the modern world. Let the modern world be bent in the sense of Srila Prabupada’s ways.

It appears that often the editors are more concerned about quick-hitting and good-sounding formulas at the cost of actually communicating a sound philosophical content.

We also note that the editors systematically drop Srila Prabhupada’s adverb “kindly” from the verses. “Kindly” is an adverb that smoothes up communication and kindness relates deeply to the humanity of every human being. In BG 10.12-13 they have unlawfully removed the expression “my dear Krishna”, an expression of affection. In other words, Srila Prabhupada originally introduced an element of kindness into the Gita and these editors and their supporters have brutally and surgically cut it out. No kindness here!!! No wonder HH Jayapataka Maharaja writes here http://www.dandavats.com/?p=88925 that a scientific analysis has found that ISKCON rates very low on the scale of devotee care.

The editors also seem to have a visceral aversion for some English words that Srila Prabhupada is very fond of such as “nobody”, “callous”, “poor fund of knowledge”(BG 2,29 P), “kindly”, “opposite number”, “freaks” (Bg 2.8 P) and “brahmin” (BG 2.7 P & BG 2.31 ) This are Prabhupadisms the world should become acquainted with and use in everyday language. That degree of familiarity with Srila Prabhupada’s message and terminology will be a great victory for the Krishna consciousness movement! BTW my MacBook dictionary completely endorses “brahmin”. So, again, we ought to follow in Srila Prabhupada’s footsteps and use the word “brahmin”, instead of “brahmana”. Because of the combination of the two vowels “a” and “I”, “brahmin” sound much better, whereas “brahmana” offers only a hackneyed repetition of three “a”s There is also a music to literature, which is not to neglected!

In this way the editors are pushing Srila Prabhupada unceremoniously and brutaly out of His own creation to instal themselves instead. What a subtle imposture!!! My MacBook dictionary gives “having or showing a lack of courtesy; rough or abrupt” for the definition of the word “unceremonious”.

Thus we obtain two different Bhagavad-gitas. The first is Bhagavad-gita As It Is Not by Hayagriva and the second is Bhagavad-gita As It Is Not by Jayadvaita. The schism that Srila Prabhupada wanted to avoid at all costs has actually been created. We can only hope that the upcoming parampara Bhagavad-gita As It Is will mend the differences. Krishna will see to that.

Additionally one may ask: Why is the author of these anti Bhagavad-gita As It Is editors also addressing a dead person? Hayagriva has indeed passed away some years ago. The answer is that these matters do not just just concern the editors. It also concerns all those responsible guardians of Srila Prabhupada’s rich literary legacy just as well. Therefore the plural is justified and sometimes inaction is even more sinful than action as was the case for Bishma and Karna who did not protect Draupadi as an attempt was made to disrobe her in public in the assembly of non-gentlemen, (asat-sabhaya: the vicious assembly SB 1.8.24) Karna had to die on the battlefield of Kurukshetra under unfair circumstances for his inaction. He could otherwise not be vanquished by Arjuna. Being the son of the sun god, he was quasi-invincible.

In conclusion, we may say that Srila Prabhupada formulation of BG 2.28 is just perfect and complete and does not need a single iota of adjustment. Please publish it instead of the current nonsensical and consequently embarrassing presentation.

“”All that are created were non-manifested before, and only in the middle are they manifested, and when vanquished they become non-manifested again. So what need is there for lamentation?”  

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, the perfect leader and greatest tapasvi!

LORD KRISHNA IS SO VERY COOL!

Lord Krishna is so very cool. In Bhagavad-gita 2.18, He says to Arjuna:

“The material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is sure to come to an end: therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata.”

Compared to the Hayagriva version, Jayadvaita’s is clearly superior.

OT says:

“The material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is subject to be ended: therefore you fight, O descendant of Bharata.”

Hayagriva says:

Only the material body of the indestructible , immeasurable and eternal living entity is subject to destruction: therefore fight, O descendant of Bharata.

There are two weaknesses here:

  1. Where does Hayagriva get “Only” from? He gets it from his imagination only. He is inventing it. We don’t accept. It gives an unwelcome mood to the whole sentence.
  2. Jayadvaita’s ” is sure to come to an end” is just such an admirably succinct, faithful, quick-witted and linguistically correct way to convey OT’s “is subject to be ended”, whereas Hayagriva’s ” is subject to destruction” really misses the mark.

Further down in the purport of BG 2.18, we find that some corrections imposed by force and without permission (whence illegally) on Srila Prabhupada are SO EXTREMELY PETTY, FALSE and FAKE.

Here is an example:

In OT Srila Prabhupada’s three last sentences of the purport are as follows:

As the sunlight maintains the entire universe, similarly the light of the soul maintains this material body. As soon as the spirit soul is out of the material body, the body begins to decompose, and thus it is the spirit soul which maintains this body. The body is therefore immaterial and (thus) Arjuna was advised to fight without consideration of the material body and not sacrifice the cause of religion instead.

Hayagriva gives:

As sunlight maintains the entire universe, so the light of the soul maintains this material body. As soon as the spirit soul is out of this material body, the body begins to decompose; therefore it is the spirit soul which maintains this body. The body itself is unimportant. Arjuna was advised to fight and sacrifice the material body for the cause of religion.

And Jayadvaita writes:

As sunlight maintains the entire universe, so the light of the soul maintains this material body. As soon as the spirit soul is out of this material body, the body begins to decompose; therefore it is the spirit soul which maintains this body. The body itself is unimportant. Arjuna was advised to fight and not sacrifice the cause of religion for material, bodily considerations.

First point: the editors falsely decided that in the first sentence the article “the” for “sunlight” is wrong and dropped it. The article has been crossed out in the OT. This is a very petty, false and fake correction.

Second point: the editors falsely decided that the adverb “similarly” is inappropriate and replaced it with the poorer adverb “so”. “Similarly” has been crossed out in the OT. One may asks: “So what?” The answer is that these are are extremely petty, false, fake and illegal corrections and my request would be: ” Can these ignorant, petty and puffed up rats please get off Srila Pabhupada? The standard procedure to deal with nasty and nefarious rats is to bait them with rat poison.

Third point: The actual antecedent in OT for “unimportant” is “immaterial”, which has again been crossed out. Srila Prabhupada really typed “immaterial”. What is wrong with “immaterial”??? My Mac book dictionary gives as first definition for “immaterial”: “1 unimportant under the circumstances; irrelevant: So here Srila Prabhupada is not only right again but more evolved and sophisticated as well. “Immaterial” is a better rendition. These sometimes puffed up and ignorant editors are wrong again. And why not just use the expression “plain stupid” while we are at it. These sometimes plain stupid and fake editors are wrong again. They are simply misleading the world on all things Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

In respect of use of the word “stupid” in Krishna consciousness, my Godbrother, HG Brghupati Prabhu tells the story how Srila Prabhupada shouted at him “Are you stupid?” at the occasion of his brahman initiation. He was a little emotional for being so physically close to his Spiritual Master as Srila Prabhupada was whispering the mantras into his right ear and he was enable to properly hear and repeat. Many of us were emotional on that occasion indeed, including this humble self.

Fourth point: Here Hayagriva commits a serious blunder by writing “sacrifice the material body for the cause of religion.” This false and fake formulation could unnecessarily cost lives eventually. What is meant instead is that by refusing to fight, Arjuna would fail to perform or “sacrifice” his dharmic duties of a soldier or ksatriya, just as Jayadvaita has corrected it.

For the benefit of the entire world, we request that all these literary discrepancies throughout Srila Prabhupada’s glorious Bhagavad-gita As It Is be adjusted properly ASAP by the custodians of His literary legacy.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, the Founder of Iskcon, the BBT and Back to Godhead magazine and the most pre-eminent and evolved Spiritual Master of the entire world!

Bhagavad-gita 2.2. Here Jayadvaita totally misses the point. The Swami is blind!!!

After a very good and faithful start of chapter two with Srimad Bhagavad-gita 2.1, here in Bhagavad-gita 2.2 Jayadvaita totally misses the point. The Swami is blind and wants to keep others in ignorance as well about “the values of life”. He talks instead about the value of life. He is just as blind as King Dhritarastra himself. What is the actual value of life? As per current media reports, in Gaza, Palestine, for example, the value of life is not much at all. No need to state that this is a very distressing and painful situation for everyone, especially for the dying.

On closer examination we find that in the OT, Srila Prabhupada clearly translates the Sanskrit “anarya” with the plural “persons who do not know the values of life”. And the most amazing thing of all is that Hayagriva whimsically changes it to a singular “value of life” in his word for word presentation and then in the verse itself catches precisely the Prabhupada intended meaning and puts it very nicely in the plural expression “the progressive values of life”. This is what Srila Prabhupada is really talking about. What inconsistency and whimsicality on Hayagriva’s part!!! Was he taking drugs on that day? Where was his mind? And Jayadvaita simply follows. Why didn’t Jayadvaita pick up the matter and correct it?

Srila Prabhupada BG 2.2 (closest version):

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, wherefrom have these dirty things come upon you? They are not at all befitting men who know the values of life. They do not lead to higher planets but to infamy.

Srila Prabhupada uses the expression “these dirty things” which is quite explicit and everyone understands it’s meaning. Besides that in the word for word of all three versions “kasmalam” is translated as “dirtiness”. So we may ask what is wrong with this expression “these dirty things”? Is it not sleek, refined or sexy enough? Srila Prabhupada also uses plural number for both “men” and “values of life.” Why change it? We note that in the OT there has been an attempt to obliterate the Prabhupada typed plural word “men”. It is hardly legible and has been replaced with the handwritten singular “man”. Are we implying that Srila Prabhupada is a fool??? Are we implying that Srila Prabhupada is ignorant of the facts of life and how to address them? Rather the opposite is true. Srila Prabhupada is the wise man and he who dares to rashly and impudently change unnecessarily His wording or formulation is himself a FOOL and OFFENDER at the lotus feet of Guru.

Hayagriva BG 2.2:

The Supreme Person (Bhagavan) said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life. They do not lead to higher planets, but to infamy.

The Swami BG 2.2:

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life. They lead not to higher planets but to infamy.

Comes the Swami’s very excellent rendition of BG 2.1:

Sanjaya said: Seeing Arjuna full of compassion, his mind depressed, his eyes full of tears, Madhusudana, Krishna, spoke the following words.

In the original transcript (OT) Srila Prabhupada uses both expressions “depressed in mind” and “eyes full of tears”. As opposed to Hayagriva’s “sorrowful”, the idea of depression is most suitable because of it’ s current and recurrent relevance in the world we are living both in the sense of “feelings of severe despondency and dejection” (MakBook dictionary) and also in the context of economic depression. Just see Srila Pabhupada’s ever relevance!!! Neither is there any need of Hayagriva’s speculation of “his eyes brimming with tears” even though it is otherwise a suitable and elegant expression. It has to be rejected. Better stick with Srila Prabhupada’s simple wording of “eyes full of tears” as does Jayadvaita Swami. This is a memorable instance where Jayadvaita manifestly trumps Hayagriva in Bhagavad-gita editing. He clearly scores a point here. But Hayagriva also deserves one point for his “progressive values of life”. Later in this chapter, at verse 18, Jayadvaita scores another point.

Hayagriva BG 2.1:

Sanjaya said: Seeing Arjuna full of compassion and very sorrowful, his eyes brimming with tears, Madhusudana, Krishna, spoke the following words.

There are hundreds and perhaps thousands of such anomalies and digressions in both versions of available Bhagavad-gitas. Therefore we may say that strictly speaking neither version is fully acceptable. When these anomalies will be corrected we will finally have Srila Prabhupada’s jewel Bhagavad-gita As It Is and on the whole it will be quite a different and even more powerful book! Om tat sat.

My dear readers, what are you thinking?

NAMASTE NARASIMHAYA by Bhavani DD of the Bhakti Marg Movement. Imho, an outstanding and ecstatic devotional rendition!

Music by: Bhakti Marga https://lnk.to/Bhaktimargamusic   / @bhaktimargamusic108  https://www.bhaktimarga.org/

namas te narasimhaya
prahladahlada-dayine
hiranyakashipor vaksah-
sila-tanka-nakhalaye


I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasimha who gives joy to Prahlada Maharaja and whose nails are like chisels on the stonelike chest of the demon Hiranyakashipu.

ito nrsimhah parato nrsimho
yato yato yami tato nrsimhah
bahir nrsimho hrdaye nrsimho
nrsimham adim sharanam prapadye


Lord Nrsimha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Nrsimha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Nrsimha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge.


tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-srngam
dalita-hiraryakashipu-tanu-bhrìgam
keshava dhrita-narahari-rupa jaya jagadisha hare
jaya jagadisha hare jaya jagadisha hare


O Keshava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can easily crush a wasp between one’s fingernails, so in the same way the body of the wasplike demon Hiranyakashipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands.

In this respect, Srila Prabhupada writes in purport of Srimad Bhagavatam 8.3.2:

It is imperative, therefore, that all devotees in Krishna consciousness practice chanting some mantra. Certainly one should chant the Hare Krishna mantra, which is the maha-mantra, or great mantra, and also one should practice chanting cintamani-prakara-sadmasu or the Nrsimha stotra (ito nrsimha parato nrsimha yato yato yami tato nrsimhah). Every devotee should practice in order to chant some mantra perfectly so that even though he may be imperfect in spiritual consciousness in this life, in his next life he will not forget Krishna consciousness, even if he becomes an animal. Of course, a devotee should try to perfect his Krishna consciousness in this life, for simply by understanding Krishna and His instructions, after giving up this body one can return home, back to Godhead. Even if there is some falldown, practice of Krishna consciousness never goes in vain. For example, Ajamila, in his boyhood, practiced chanting the name of Narayana under the direction of his father, but later, in his youth, he fell down and became a drunkard, woman-hunter, rogue and thief. Nonetheless, because of chanting the name of Narayana for the purpose of calling his son, whom he had named Narayana, he became advanced, even though he was involved in sinful activities. Therefore, we should not forget the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra under any circumstances. It will help us in the greatest danger, as we find in the life of Gajendra.

Bhagavad-gita As It Is 3.21. Why “great man”? An instance of whimsical, arbitrary and unauthorized over-intellectualization and dehumanization of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

Why not follow Srila Prabhupada, instead of trying to recklessly jump over the head of the acarya?

In the original transcript and in Hayagriva’s and Jayadvaita’s word-for-word rendition we find a cool expression “respectable leader” as rendition of the Sanskrit “shrestas”, which in turn becomes “great man” in both translations.

Please find Jayadvaita’s BGAII 3.21 rendition. This is the official version accepted and promoted by ISKCON:

“Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.”

But in the original Srila Prabhupada verse transcript the word “great man” is nowhere to be seen.

Srila Prabhupada simply sticks to the cool expression “respectable leader of human society” as follows with my own editing and my Godbrothers’ inspiration:

“Whatever action a respectable leader of human society performs, common men follow in his footsteps. And whatever standard he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.”

Original transcript can be found here: https://bookchanges.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is-manuscript/

Who is great and what is greatness?

Respectable leaders of human society are within reach.

It is felt that this whimsical, arbitrary and unauthorized transition from “respectable leader of human society” to “great man” represents an instance of over-intellectualization and willful dehumanization of Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

Srila Prabhupada certainly is great for creating an ideological structure that the whole world can adopt if it wishes to do so.

And Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the greatest in all respects i.e. in terms of wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation, as stated in the Vishnu Purana 5.6.47. He also says so in Bhagavad-gita 15.18:

“Because I am transcendental, beyond both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest, I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person.”

The Sanskrit antecedent for “greatest” is “uttamah”, meaning literally “the best”.

Finally and I may have remarked this before in BGAII 3.18 we find again tinges of sexism as Srila Prabhupada’s original “a self-realized person” becomes in both Hayagriva’s and Jayadvaita’s versions ” a self realized man…”

Here is Jayadvaita’s BGAII 3.18 version:

“A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor has he any need to depend on any other living being.”

I would suggest in simple wording the following rendition instead which I believe is closer to Srila Prabhupada’s original intention and meaning:

“A self-realized person (in Krishna consciousness) has no obligation to discharge prescribed duties, nor is he attached to not perform such work. Nor has he any need to take shelter of any other living being.”

The same sexism applies to verse 3.33 where Srila Prabhupada’s original “person” becomes “man.”

Two more thing:

Prabhavishnu Prabhu recounts how he met Srila Prabhupada in His office in Mumbai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coI5-cW2YoE

Srila Prabhupada was sitting with His head in His hands and with a pained expression on His face for a few minutes. Then He looked up and said to Prabhavishnu Prabhu:” The Bombay project is such a headache, it is such a headache.” After a pose, He added: “But it is for Krishna, so it is all right.”

And Srimati Malati recounts here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSJmF_m7HPA at 21 minutes how she was cooking in Jaipur and Jaipur is full of monkeys. The monkeys were as bold as grabbing eatable right out of the cooking pan! One day she really got exasperated and Srila Prabhupada told her to get a stick. He also added: “But don’t hit them just show the stick. If you hit them they will get angry and attack you.” On that day Srila Prabhupada gave her his own cane and as soon as she showed the cane the monkeys would split. “It was magic” she recounts. Once in Vrindavan, I had a similar monkey experience. I just had bought some mandarins at the fruit market and while walking in the street the monkeys just attacked, tore the plastic bag into pieces, spread the mandarins all over, grabbed them and disappeared.

Jai Srila Prabhupada!
