WHY did the corporate globalist demons murder Srila Prabhupada ? Because his teachings were reaching the youth worldwide, threatening their hegemony of the slaves...

Govinda Dasadasa
quotes Srila Prabhupada;
ONE MUST GET OUT OF THE MATERIAL ENTANGLEMENT-- ONE MUST BE SITUATED IN HIS SPIRITUAL IDENTITY AND ETERNALLY SERVE THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD AS A DEVOTEE.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam » Canto 6 » Chapter 15 » Text 21-23:

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta on kirtan
"Those who possess prema-bhakti in their hearts generally love the Name to be sung in the old tunes. They don’t want to sing or listen to nonsense. They sing and listen to the traditional songs of hari-nāma. Nowadays, the citizens of this metropolis have not easily grasped the nature of pure bhakti due to lack of good association. They follow their own fanciful concocted method. This is the Lord’s līlā. We can say nothing about it – whatever the Lord desires. When the traditional instruments of khol, karatāla etc. are abandoned, and modern foreign instruments enter all the kīrtanas, there may be plenty of entertainment, but Śrī Bhakti Devī is gradually broken. Nowadays we are so fascinated by anything foreign that we endeavour to incorporate it into our mode of bhajana.
Anyhow our Śrī Gaurāṅga Prabhu is extremely merciful. When He glanced over the city of Calcutta, He gave them the inclination to perform kīrtana, then we hope that He will gradually in

I visited as a brahmacary carrying a small metal suitcase, 1973,  but meanwhile more or less starving and with pneumonia in my lung. Eventually a yogi invited me to occupy one of the empty caves nearby and stay there in samadhi. I had split from Hamsadutta's Mercedes bus group, and had wandered to Kuruksetra and Rishikesa. I was not so well, and thus tired of all the struggles, and wanted to do just move into that cave, but i remember Srila Prabhupada saying "work now, samadhi later", and I was about 23. I remember leaving Haridvara, dragging that damn suitcase, and could see the grey haze hovering over the Gangetic Plain as we descended back into the bustling dusty ancient mainland India.May be an image of 1 person

Devotional service contaminated by the mundane mode of goodness, sattva, is dangerously conditioning. The person becomes enamored by their happy life, and accepts misinformation that backs their position, even if false, and so, soon an inch becomes a mile and one is in maya again. Mode of Goodness is the smiling face of Maya. The only real happiness comes from suddha sattva, uncontaminated consciousness of Sri Krsna and services.No photo description available.

Ongoing status of Spiritnet

Tamohara Dasa Garden
I understand the number of enlightened newcomers and the actual number of loyal ritvik-initiated Srila Prabhupada disciples is recently increasing, though the Original disciples are growing old and thin. We now must increase faster than all the bogus cult branches combined in order to retake the Mayapura land from the CIA offspring cults; a big task. Can you do it? Krsna has come to help us, and miraculously started the final take-down of the globalists, in countries around the globe, including those who orchestrated the attack on us all. God is rousing Russia, the workers/karmis, the loyal ritviks, etc. It can/ will happen, we shall in due course take Srila Prabhupada's temples etc away from his murderers and their cults, and restore some religiosity and honesty on Earth. And if not, it is up to Krsna, we are absorbed in doing our best services. Anyone with better plans come forward. I have had some success with Spiritnet, but not enough by a long shot. I hope in t

Sripad Japananda Das Acbsp

Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada, (Prabhupadera Upadesamrta):
"Cheating and weakness are two separate things. Persons devoid of a cheating propensity achieve perfection in life, but a cheater is never successful. Vaisnavism is another name for simplicity. Cheaters are non devotees. Sincere persons can be weak, but they are not cheaters. Cheaters say something but do something else. Weak people are embarrassed by their defects, whereas cheaters are maddened by their achievements.
“I will cheat the acharya,” “I will deceive the doctor,” “I will nourish the poisonous snake of my sinful propensity with banana and milk, hiding him in the hole of my cheating propensity,” and “I will demand name and fame from the people while posing as a saint”.
These are not symptoms of weakness but of utter deceitfulness. Such cheaters will never achieve any good. By hearing humbly from saints with a sincere attitude, however, one will gradually attain a

How many people are aware of the role notorious criminal and godman Chandra Swami played in the poisoning of ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada in his final days?
Those who have lived in India in the 90's will be familiar with Chandra Swami and the many scandals he was involved in, including the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. In addition he was well known as a weapons smuggler, a spy for the CIA, and was closely connected with Adnan Khashoggi (another CIA asset, who was famous for his involvement in the Iran Contra scandal of the 1980's).
"Adnan Khashoggi was implicated in the Iran–Contra affair as a key middleman in the arms-for-hostages exchange along with Iranian arms dealer Manucher Ghorbanifar [...] with Saudi and United States backing."
The name Khashoggi will be familiar because Adnan Khashoggi's nephew happens to be Jamal Khashoggi who was recently murdered by the Saudi Government in Turkey. Adnan Khasho

(And at least if one percent of the whole population becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, the whole world will be a different world. There will be . . . . . . the world itself will become kingdom of God) 🙏💖

You take this advantage of opening the door of liberation, and don't misuse your life simply for sense gratification like cats and dogs. Then the people of your country, of your society or your family, they'll be all benefited, and because other nations, they are also imitating your procedure, they will be benefited.
 
And at least if one percent of the whole population becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, the whole world will be a different world. There will be . . . . . . the world itself will become kingdom of God.

The Mind Should Be Attached Upon Me, Krsna

(The mind should be attached upon Me, Kṛṣṇa." This is the beginning. Some way or other we have to . . . our mind is attached to something always) 🙏💖
 
11036874869?profile=RESIZE_584x"So here Kṛṣṇa says how to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is for the brahmins, or the intellectual class of men. That is being described by Kṛṣṇa. What is that? Mayy āsakta-manāḥ: "The mind should be attached upon Me, Kṛṣṇa." This is the beginning. Some way or other we have to . . . our mind is attached to something always.
 
Mind cannot be detached. We have got so many desires. So mind's business—to become attached. Therefore, I accept something, I reject something. This is mind's business. So you cannot become zero; you cannot become desireless. That is not possible. Our process . . . just like others, they say: "You become desireless." That is a foolish proposal.
 
Who can become desireless? It is not possible. If I am desireless, then I am a dead man. A dead man has no desire. So that is not possible. We have to purify the desires

(Now we cannot fly in the air, but when you are free from this body, your spirit soul, within a second you can go to the Vaikuṇṭhaloka. It is so light. Within a second) 🙏💖
 
11036414482?profile=RESIZE_584x"First of all, you have to consider how this planet is floating in the air. It is floating in the air, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, gām āviśya (BG 15.13). Because Kṛṣṇa enters within this . . . Kṛṣṇa, just like He enters within the atom. So He's the spirit, Supreme Spirit.
 
So because the Supreme Spirit is within, therefore it is floating. Not that weightlessness. Weight is there, very heavy weight. Just like you can test: This body will float in the water so long you are living. And as soon as the spirit soul goes, then immediately the body goes down.
 
The law of gravity acts, the so-called law of gravity. This is an example. A child, so long it is living you can take in one hand. But as soon as the child is dead, it becomes heavier. That is natural. So everything is lighter as soon as it is spirit

(So the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, they do not care who is God, who is not God. That is not their business. But they want Kṛṣṇa and love Kṛṣṇa. That's all) 🙏💖
 
"11035444882?profile=RESIZE_710xEvery day, all the boys, they would come back to their home and explain to their mother, "Mother, Kṛṣṇa is so wonderful. You see? This happened today." And the mother will say: "Yes, our Kṛṣṇa is wonderful." So much. That's all. They do not know Kṛṣṇa is God, Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Person. Kṛṣṇa is wonderful, that's all.
 
And their love increases. The more they perceive Kṛṣṇa's wonderful activities, they become more lover. "Perhaps he may be a demigod. Yes." That is their suggestion. When Nanda Mahārāja will talk amongst his friends and the friends will talk about Kṛṣṇa . . . "Oh, Nanda Mahārāja, your child Kṛṣṇa is wonderful." "Yes, I see that."
 
"Maybe some demigod." That's all. "Maybe." That is also not certain. So the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, they do not care who is God, who is not God. That is not their business. But

11031324290?profile=RESIZE_710x"So Kṛṣṇa is addressed here as Viśvātman, the vital force of the universe. Just like in my body, in your body, that there is a vital force. The vital force is the ātmā, the living being, living entity or soul.
So because the vital force, the soul, is there, the whole body is working. So similarly, there is the supreme vital force. Supreme vital force is Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

(You have got now superconsciousness. You must decide whether you want to stop this evolutionary process, cycle of birth and death, and go back to home, back to Godhead, or if you want to continue again the cycle of birth and death) 🙏💖
 
11031188052?profile=RESIZE_710x"So there is gradual process of evolution, and the human form of life is the greatest evolution. Here is a junction. Now you can go, elevate yourself to further, higher status of living condition. That is called devatā, or demigods. Ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthāḥ. If you develop the quality of goodness, then you are promoted to the higher planetary system.
 
Ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā madhye tiṣṭhanti rājasāḥ. If you do not develop further, if you remain whatever quality you have got, just now you remain within this world. And adho gacchanti tāmasāḥ. And if you do not develop goodness or remain in the same quality but you degrade yourself, then again go to the cycle of birth in the animal kingdom. This is the law of nature.

(So as the sun being present, there is no access of darkness, similarly, if you keep Kṛṣṇa always within your heart, there is no more darkness of this material world) 🙏💖
 
11030525474?profile=RESIZE_710x"So if we can go back to home, back to Godhead, there is no darkness. It is all illuminating. It is stated in the śāstra that there is no need of sun, there is no need of moon, there is no . . . Na tad bhāsayate sūryo na śaśāṅko na pāvakaḥ (BG 15.6). In the spiritual world there is no need of sun; there is no need of moon; there is no need of electricity or fire.
 
That is the description. Here in the Bhagavad-gītā you'll find: na tad bhāsayate sūryo na śaśāṅko na pāvakaḥ. We cannot imagine how without sun, without moon, without electricity, without fire one can live. Yes, but there is a world like that. You do not require sunshine. You do not require.

(So we do not hate anything material advancement. We can utilize everything for Kṛṣṇa's service. Our only preaching is that "Don't forget Kṛṣṇa." That is our business) 🙏💖
 
11029636652?profile=RESIZE_584x"This, any material thing, is mithyā (false)." No. It has got some relationship with Kṛṣṇa. That is to be seen. What is that? What is this motorcar? It is material. But what is this material? Bhūmir āpaḥ analo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca, bhinnā me prakṛtir aṣṭadhā (BG 7.4). Where they have got this metal?
 
This iron, wood, metal, everything, they have got from Kṛṣṇa. Therefore it has got relationship with Kṛṣṇa. Now, when it is manufactured, use it for Kṛṣṇa. That is yukta-vairāgya. So we do not hate anything material advancement. We can utilize everything for Kṛṣṇa's service. Our only preaching is that "Don't forget Kṛṣṇa." That is our business."
