My dear Edith Best it is best to ask for some guidance or answers from the best; or some female guru candidate for the approval of Srila Prabhupada. As you were never involved in pre-1978 book changes or in the coverb up assassination of Sulochana Prabhu; you are qualified more than others as a guru who each and all in ISKCON took an oath to abide by the WHATSOEVER decisions of an ugly GBC { criminal since August 1973 when the temple presidents meeting to vote on GBC approval or disapproval did not take place as specified in the D. O. M. or Direction of Management.}.
Edith Best was Srila Prabhupada deciding to go home because extendive poisoning was his books and body were disallowing him to preach my further? Many see substanciap evidence to easily answer this question with a be resoundig, "Yes"
If you thought that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned and said as much you would be smacked upside of your head and blackballed from any participation within the ISKCON Corporation Movement. Otherwise you are taken as a very nice devotee as long as you think and feel in a certain way. What is to fear when the herd is surrounding you? Or what need to think? Just think what is common and not what is hard. That is desired by those who would enslave us. But are you not better than that?
You may remember as you had told that one day you sat before Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada stared at you for some space of time after your child, sitting on your lap; made a smelly #2 - soiled diaper; which that sweet tiny child was wearing.
Now that is a touchy situation and something that well may have laid a heavy impact upon your mind. But to understand and think about that instance in a devotional way and a spiritually scientific way even as the scriptures describe the character of the pure devotee - you might be in for a surprise. An intelligent assessment of that memory must bring you to the conclusion that Srila Prabhupada was not in staring at you finding fault in you but quite to the contrary he was showing you Special Mercy. OTHERS { common conditioned souls } would have unnecessarily found fault with you for that which was beyond your control. This is the material condition that when the senses of conditioned souls are not satisfied these easily take up an offensive attitude towards others irregardless of whether such an attitude is justified.
Srila Prabhupada in staring at you was not finding fault where fault did not exist. He is samadarahana and sees everyone with equal vision. And as now I am bringing this up you are naturally being overcome with the realization that even in uncomfortable situations the bona fide spiritual master by his merciful glance can pick one up spiritual transporting one into a very wholesome and an awakened state.
For sure it is quite uncomfortable to inquire whether Srila Prabhupada had indeed been given poison as you are by peer pressure not allowed to do so. But Srila Prabhupada is not your peer but your spiritual master with saving grace. Surely with saving grace he does not want you to be unintelligent and thoughtless about any important issue. Thus good as it feels to go along to get along such going along may well be a sin of ommission when and if one is called to be Krishna Conscious in another direction - which is to be an independent thinker.
To break the rules is proper when the very rules themselves are improper. And I have broken rules in front of Srila Prabhupada on back to back days in Pittsburg in 1974 and Srila Prabhupada stood by me and saved me from utter reprimand from my conditioned soul peers. He knew where I was coming from and that I had every right to get his attention after having been mistreated and intentionally poisoned by Bali Mardan who had me lay under a TOTALLY RUST ENCRUSTED BINDERY MACHINE to remove all of the grease from the gears under the machine using HIGHLY TOXIC Tywal solvent. It was a fifty hour job and the paper mask did little to keep the toxic fumes out of my brain. And Bali Mardan was kind in recognizing my intelligence and his need to get rid of me. And I am actually really grateful for his attempt to remove me which got me into the mental hospital and eventually got me to be a life member obtaining original books which temple presidents did not receive - as they instead received pre-1978 UNAUTHORIZED REVISIONS in accordance with Deep State design.
Srila Prabhupada saw you and stared at you not because your child had soiled a diaper whose aroma was far reaching; but rather he saw you that you might even today wake up. To think for yourself against the odds that is to have the moment's association with the pure devotee that is far superior to all time and place whatsoever within this universe of the bringing down experience of samsara. That moments association is to see the pure devotee as he sees us. He is the seer.
Jadurani she is totally unconvinced that Srila Prabhupada was not poisoned and of course in her sangha such is totally acceptable. Even Bhaktivedhanta Narayana Maharaja as is told knew that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned as even Sripad Shankaracharya passed on at thirty two years of age compliments of finely crushed glass in his meals.
We naturally think that pure devotees should not be treated in certain ways as for instance ten thousand people crying, "Cruzify him Cruzify him" to Pontious Pilate. There are so many instances; some with physical survival as in the case of Jesus and Hari Das Thakura and others not physically surviving; and yet the pure devotee will never die. Jesus and Hari Das Thakura survived their death sentences and Srila Prabhupada shall also survive his when The Law Books For The Next Ten Thousand Years are again put back in print just as they were originally printed and also approved by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedhanta swami Prabhupada.
Mayesvara Dasa das not take into account the horrendous sabotage of Srila Prabhupada books originally initiated by Deep State actors who knew how dangerous to their agenda were the writing of our spiritual master; just as are the true teachings of Yeshua the Nazarene Essene of the Mt Carmel group in Galilee.
This is to be a Hebrew to follow Yeshua the Nazarene who said, " Those who keep my commandments; they are my disciples and they shall know the truth and the truth shall set them free."
And yet such a setting free of those oppressed by Deep State man eating monsters is not the cup of tea of those rakshasas. So naturally the concerted attempt to kill Srila Prabhupada was there and even Sita was misled by the saintly appearance of shape shifting Ravana. Thus how easily might we also be misled by a whole legion of Ravana like demons with JABs and other cunning assaults upon our integrity
