Devotee: Because the guru is responsible for taking all of his disciples back to home, back to Godhead, I was wondering what was the position of Lord Jesus Christ, because so many people for so many years have been attempting to follow his teachings, many of them sincere, but not getting proper instructions. I was wondering if he is responsible for all of these people who are attempting to serve him.
Prabhupāda: But one thing is, we sing daily, yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo *. You have to please your spiritual master. But yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi, if you displease your spiritual master, then you are nowhere. How do you adjust these things? It does not mean that because you have made somebody spiritual master, you displease him, at the same time he takes responsibility. Is it very nice?
Devotee: Many times...
Prabhupāda: If you please him, then he is responsible. Yasyāprasādān na gatiḥ kuto 'pi. If you displease him then you are nowhere. So, if you take it in this way,

The Mayapura Deities and all Deities in unauthorized gooroo "temples" are bogus, and you are worshipping your imaginations and eating jew-prasad bhoga. t-dasa
 
"Devotee (3): Then why is he giving instruction to worship the Deity? If the spiritual master is not bona fide, then is the Deity also not bona fide?
Prabhupāda: I do not follow. What does he say?
Devotee: His idea is that if one receives a mantra from a spiritual master, if the spiritual master is not bona fide...
Prabhupāda: Then there is no question of mantra. There is no question of worshiping Deity. These are all bogus things."

If you give yourself without ends or personal desires, and
follow the due process then the Lord will reveal himself. when
the truth is revealed to you, only then can you understand the truth
is. How should we just surrender?
We must think: "My body, mind, physical strength and
intellectual force are not competent to know the truth. " Yes we
we want to know the truth, we must surrender and be dedicated. Us
we should think:
"This body is not mine; I am not this body." ”
The organs are part of my body, they're not actually mine. To whom
do they belong? They are created, and that creation has a beginning and an end.
The youth of the country is in the process. A boy becomes a young man, and then
he grows old Gradually decay and leaves this world; he disappears
This is the state of the world we live in.
All the things you think should be here, like buildings,
development of science and electric lights, thousands were not here
from years back. We weren't here either. Besides, those thin

Gour Govinda Swami: Therefore I say, even if Sadhu comes, because you are blind you have no faith in him. You want to be the seer, so you cannot get any benefit. You cannot associate. If a sadhu comes and chants here, speaks Krsna-katha, it will never enter your ear. You cannot get any benefit. You don't do sadhu-saga at all. Although you come and sit here, you are just posing, you are just pretending. You are such a pretender! Because you have no faith, the sadhu's katha will never enter your ear. Thus you cannot get any benefit. Just pretending. Sitting for ten or fifteen minutes, then getting up and going out. Why is this? Because you have no faith. You are not simple. You want to be the seer. But you are not the seer. That's the whole trouble.

Dr. Singh: Are there many Indian-born disciples abroad, or are they mainly Western disciples?

Prabhupāda: No, there are many Indians.
Mālatī: In England there are many. They go now. They are from Muslim families and they are from...
Prabhupāda: The Indians take it lightly. They say, "Oh, Kṛṣṇa. But we have a life outside."
Dr. Singh: That is the... You're quite right, that is what the...
Prabhupāda: They have learned everything.
Dr. Singh: Really? Do they know anything about Kṛṣṇa or not?
Prabhupāda: Sab janta Lawrence. In Bengal there is called sab janta Lawrence. There was Mr. Lawrence...
Dr. Singh: [laughs] Sab janta Lawrence
Prabhupāda: So our Indian people are sab janta Lawrence.
Dr. Singh: [still laughing] That is true. Here everybody is brought up with Hare Kṛṣṇa [Hindi]. That must be one of the reasons, actually, why [indistinct] Europe.

Kirru Kumar PRABHUPAD ROOM CONVERSATION

1971 ...
Lalaji: If it's a just war, you have to fight.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Lalaji: So that if it's a just war, we are going to fight. And the war is coming, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: So that's all right. Why should we be afraid of fighting?
Lalaji: We are not afraid of fighting.
Prabhupāda: We never... The Bhagavad-gītā never says that when enemy attacks, you become nonviolent. No, no. Never says. Rather, Gandhi said that: "Yes, I shall...'' Somebody asked Gandhiji that "If in your presence your wife or your daughter is ravaged, what you will do?'' That question was there, actually. But he said that "I shall nonviolence upon..."
Lalaji: No, no, no. Another part. Then he said, "I'll hit him back.'' On that condition. He said, "If that comes all right, hit him back."
Prabhupāda: He said that.
Lalaji: He said, "If a duṣṭa does that to you, you hit her back."
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is our policy. Our ātatāyinaḥ, the śastra, ātatāyinaḥ. Ātatāyinaḥ means a person who

Devahuti asked; The mystical system of yoga as you explained is aimed at the Supreme Personality of Godhead and “destines to completely annihilate material existence”. please, show me the nature of this yoga system. How many ways can one really understand this sublime yoga? Bhagavatam 3.25.29 Devahuti] To put an end to material existence completely, means to leave no seed and no root in the form of desires, affections, or any kind of attraction, or material interests in the mind, or heart, so that the seeds, and roots definitely do not sprout, therefore, to be sure that will not sprout we should adopt the process of genuine Bhakti. [ Bhakti, devotional service 'DISSOLVES ' the subtle body of the living entity without separating effort, just as the fire in the stomach digestes everything we eat. Bhagavatam 3.25.33 Kapiladeva] The subtle material body of the (jiva), is composed of mind, intelligence, and false ego, therefore, these three elements must be

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.

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

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.

It is great fortune, bhāgyavan jīva. Unless one is very fortunate, he cannot come to the shelter of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That's a fact. So don't misuse it. That is my request. I am very glad to see you, you are so enthusiastic. And you should be enthusiastic."
