Srila Prabhupada: " So this movement should be pushed very vigorously. And so far, we have become successful. And enemies will be always, as soon as there is something good. That is the way of material world. Even Krsna had enemies, what to speak of us. Eh? So many enemies, but He was powerful; He killed all them. Nobody could kill Him, but there was attempt to kill Him from the very beginning of His birth. He had so many enemies."

T dasa; Imagining that all is One and that all religions and everyone should be happy in that imaginary white-wash unfortunately will not work, as most of the world does not have such a vision. It has ALWAYS been Lord Narayana and His devotees pitted against a variety of cheats. It will almost NEVER be peaceful Vaikuntha down here, unless we the devotees help create some islands of safety and service harmony against a raging darkness.So let us be realistic and practical in our thinking and actions. We have friends and we have enemies, recognize them for what they are. That is the nature of all material existences, without exception. Are we with Arjuna and Vasudeva, or with something else? Choose up sides; Krsna, or ?
Its then simple; all those who oppose Krsna are your enemies. Those who are neutral should be shown mercy, and associate with and befriend the devotees of Krsna. This is the way of the Gostianandis, ie the preachers, of our Madhva Gaudiya sampradaya, such as our Srila Prabhupada showed us.
