Dear Devotees of Lord Krishna worldwide,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Following is the stunning account by Bhagavat Maharaja, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, of the poisoning conspiracy against Srila Prabhupada, carried out by His leading disciples who went on to receive fortune and fame in the aftermath of His Divine Grace's passing, on the pretext of being His "successors", despite there being no authorization or order from Srila Prabhupada for them to become Diksha gurus for ISKCON subsequent to His Departure. Bhagavat Maharaja dictated this statement to me, which I typed onto my laptop from 7 pm to
A compilation farmed from HH Nanda Gopal Swami; Spoken by HH Bhagavata Maharajah in interviews.
"History of the unfoldment of recognition that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned began in Buffalo, New York. A devotee with a high-quality sound system picked up the whispers on a tape, and sent this tape to Houston and Dallas, Texas, to Abhinanda Das, who forwarded it to Puranjana das. Naveen Krishna das (Naveen Khurana) in Alachua (a former member of the GBC) received the tape as well. Things begin to stir: A Hindu devotee promoted the tape on his radio and website, and Naveen Krishna posted it on VNN (Vaishnava News Network).
remembered that Adi Kesava das brought Ayurvedic Makaradhvaja from Chandra Swami. (Srila Prabhupada requested medicine from a Ramanuji Murari Kaviraja. As it turns out, there was one in Calcutta, by the name of Damodar Prasad Shastri.) Adi Kesava went to Delhi and received medicine from Chandra Swami. This is why Naveen Krishna later brought in Bhagavat Maharaja
From 1977 t0 1980, I did most of the cooking in Bhubaneswara Iskcon ashrama. GG Maharajah said he liked my cooking best, so.
On Sundays, we had Nayapalli over for pracara and prasadam and kirtana. We hired a brahaman cook and his helpers. They cut veggies, boiled dahl, made rice
I would ususally go into town to fetch a litre of ghee and two boxes of premixed boxed spices; gram dahl spice and sambara, to be added to the finishing v large pot of dahlma, so that the offering would be extra special .
Sometimes I made some semolina halava and samosas for the Deities, for Sunday. I would bring a box of milk sweetsonce or twice a week, very small amounts of pera and sandesh, very sweet but good, Maybe milk ake or misthi dahi . We got milke delivered, Dikpati's assovisate from Nayapalli. GGS laugher at how the dairy me watered the milk down each day a little bit more, little bit more, until it was no longer milk and you had to complain about it. Then the cycle repeats itself.
Weekdays, it was t
Hare Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada,. Please accept my humble obeisances.
Thank you for explaining about lineage. If they openly criticize, it makes sense to mention. Srila Prabhupada did that regarding His so-called god brothers as well. I would hope they are too busy with their own programs to take such trouble. Supposing some are actually pure Vaishnavas and not against His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami and do appreciate Srila Prabhupada's unchangedd books and the astonishing world-wide Harinama movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu despite being born into a family linage from the Lord?
How could they be expected to accept ISKCON in the condition it is in? ISKCON who eliminated Srila Prabhupada, espouses standard books corrupted by Kali, creates rubberstamped gurus, bans faithful Prabhupada followers, and condones unmentionable behaviors?
I found this online. I do not know the autho
"First of all, we have to see who is going to speak about Kṛṣṇa. Is it a devotee of Kṛṣṇa? Is he a Vaiṣṇava or not? If he is not, then immediately reject: "Oh, we are not going to hear from you." But people do not know. Any rascal speaking about Bhagavad-gītā we hear. That is not the process. Then you will misunderstand. Avaiṣṇava-mukhod..., sarpocchiṣṭaṁ payo yathā. Just like milk is very good food, everyone knows. But when it is touched by the tongue of the serpent, it is poison immediately."

Lord Krsna says' "Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you..."
न त्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं मेने जनाधिपाः ।
न चैव न भविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम् ॥
Transliteration:
na tvevāhaṁ jātu nāsāṁ na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ
na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ sarve vayam ataḥ param
Translation:
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be".
Some try to say jiva "originates" in some neutral tatastha state.
But Krsna says we always existed, and the self cannot be said to exist unless it is the self, ie complete, with all devotional moods and services inherent. Everything spiritual is complete like the Lord, but He is the maintainer and controller.
Those trying to tell you otherwise are unable to grasp eternity, they must have a beggining and an end, so they profess this tatashta origin idea, and insist on it, even though it logically contradicts Lord Krsna in Bhagavada Gita.
Srimad Bhagavatama tells how the jivas may ree

Prabhupāda: The Sāma Vedas mean the realization of God by singing, by music. That is Sāma Veda.
Dr. Patel: By music. "I am the soul of the music."
Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore hari-kīrtana. Hari-kīrtana is Sāma Veda, glorifying the Supreme. That is stated in some other place.

..Only the endeavour to spread the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in a simple manner, while being careful not to manipulate them even slightly, will be our sole bhajana. But if a person waits till he becomes perfect before he disseminates those teachings, he will be deprived of the service of preaching. Indeed, he will remain in that immature state throughout his whole life.
Even if we fully lack the capacity to understand the pure and simple teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, if we just pass them on, carrying them to the next person like a load-carrying donkey, we will still receive Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s blessings. This is, of course, provided we do not adulterate those teachings with any of our own mental speculations."
Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

No outside instruction
“…Whatever is to be learned of the teachings of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura can be learned from our [i.e., Srila Prabhupada’s books] books. There is no need whatsoever for any outside instruction.”
