* Perle's appointment tape analysis, stating "consistent with editing," is now debunked and refuted. Perle was not informed as to the nature of the recordings and he cursorily concluded the stop-start routine to be an irregularity and evidence of tampering.  CAE clearly disproves this assumption in a thorough and first-class analysis, found in Appendix 3.

Compassion Lost By Reckless Consumption of Innocent Animals
Pride is the antithesis of compassion, which begins with non-violence. Ahimsa (Non-Violence) is at the core of Lord Buddha’s teachings, which explains why serious Buddhists are strict vegetarians. However in today’s world, particularly in the Western hemisphere, there are all sorts of people who claim to follow the teachings of Lord Buddha who aren’t even Vegetarians! That lacks as much verisimilitude as the excessively overweight person who habitually confabulates about eating well and getting regular exercise!

The most conspicuous example of our lack of compassion is evident in our eccentric patronization of the meat industry. Meatpacking has turned animal slaughter into a highly efficient, cold, and ruthless science capable of transforming as many as six full grown ¾ ton walking steer into cardboard cases of frozen hamburgers every minute! In the days of Maharaja Pariksit this would be considered as atrocious as any mass

"You're Just Envious Because We Have All The Power
And You Have Nothing"   said one of the GBCs to me.

The following is a Watchdog interview with one of the senior devotees of ISKCON, Guru Kripa prabhu. He became the 12th GBC chosen by Srila Prabhupada, and is also one of few individuals Srila Prabhupada named as the "executor" of his last will. He is also famous for being responsible for seeing to the major portion of the collecting that built the Krishna Balaram Mandir in Vrindavan.

WD: Guru Kripa, how did you join ISKCON?

GK: I had just returned from the Vietnam war in January of 1970. I was a medic in the Army. I met the devotees in San Francisco in April of the same year and joined their store front temple on Fredrick St one week later. Jayananda was the first devotee I had met. He was at the door collecting 75 cents from the hippies for the Sunday feast. I had already shaved up the week before and went to Madhuvisa, the temple president, saying

"All my disciples will take the legacy. If you want, you can also take it. Sacrifice everything. I, one, may soon pass away. But they are hundreds, and this movement will increase. It is not that I give an order, 'Here is the next leader.' Anyone who follows the previous leadership is the leader.... All of my disciples are leaders, as much as they follow purely. If you want to follow, you can also lead. But you don't want to follow. Leader means one who is a first class disciple. Evam param parapraptam. One who is following is perfect."

According to the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (195), Srila Jiva Goswami was Vilasa Manjari in his previous incarnation in Vraja. In verse 203 of the same book, it is stated that he was the son of Vallabha and a scholar of exemplary character (susilah panditah sriman jivah sri-vallabhatmajah). According to the Gaudiya Vaishnava Abhidhana, Jiva was present in this world from 1433 to 1518 of the Saka era (1511-1596). Other sources propose that Jiva’s dates are from 1533 to 1618.

Srila Jiva Goswami appeared in the village of Ramakeli in the district of Maldah as the son of Anupama Mallik (Vallabha) who had made his residence there in order to serve in the government. The name of Jiva’s mother is not known. Narahari Chakravarti has given Jiva’s genealogy going back seven generations. This list, as explained by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur has been given here in this volume in the chapter on Srila Ru

Dear Tamohara prabhu,

My dear object of affection,

Sriman (Prabhu)--- went to see you. Not meeting you, he came back, for he did not have time to wait. Regardless, it is a matter of great fortune for you that you were able to attend Sri Puri-Dhama Parikrama and participate in the month-long festival of observing vows. How many people have this fortunate opportunity to cultivate hearing and chanting of Sri Hari-katha in a regulated manner in such good association?

We can observe that many people are very eager to go on pleasure trips within their own country and abroad, but it is only possible for one with spiritual credit to long for and desire to visit Sri Dhama in the association of saints, and to see the holy tirthas.

In order to obtain such an opportunity, one must consciously and carefully renounce any concern for worldly gain or loss, or the pros and cons involved, and simply go. Otherwise, one will be cheated of the opportunity for such immediate welfare. “Time and tide wait for no one.” Once an op

So with Bhagavata Prabhu gone, and Maharajah absorbed in his samadhi of book translation, that left me as secretary treasurer with a responsibility. I had earned a few thousand Canadian carving candles back in Montreal before i came over, and had deposited about 27, 000 rupees in the Commercial Bank, which had just opened down the road Highway No 5 national, the one outside our ashrama. Exchange rates were roughly seven to one in those years.

We needed a few things; so I purchased new locally made khadi dhotis, white khadi kurtas,  and dye for the brahmacaries, and mosquito nets for us all.

One day , shortly before, we had an engagment in Nilamadhava Mandira on the bank of the Mahanadi. The mosquitoes that night were fierce, and Maharajaha was to sleep in a dark room with so many of them hovering. so, realizing that is was best to protect him, the older sannyasi, I took my net, went to his room, and with him sleeping , set the net up around him safely. then, i took my sellping bag and

Eggplant Kurma, by Tamohara dasa v

Cut up one large well-cleaned eggplant, skin on, into medium cubes.

Heat one large pan, add 2 tblsp corn oil and 2 tblsp olive oil, or ghee may be used of course!

Fry the eggplant at a low to medium heat, 5/10,  for about an hour, or until well-cooked and broken-down-soft. Be attentive and stir enough, scraping pan bottom, otherwise it can readily burn especially at unneccessarily nutrition-destroying high heat. Any burned parts represents your own mode of material nature !  Haribol.

Making room in one corner of the pan clear, add a little more oil, and ;

add one tspn. each of;  anise seeds,  coriander,  and premixed subji masala or other curry masala, if on hand.  Add 1/2 tspn each of of black pepper, tumeric, methi (fennel) leaf, basil leaf. Add 1/3 tspn of oregano, fennel seeds, and hing.  1/2 of a small green chilli, chopped, may be added if desired for extra heat. Fry the spices (and chilli) until brown, then mix with the already cooking subji,

Renunciation Is a Matter of Heart

My dear #########,

Yesterday I came to know through a letter sent by Śrī #########, that Śrī ######### has decided to live in isolation in a straw hut with the objective of making progress in  bhajana. Yet by planning to construct that hut, he has vowed to impede the process of  hari-kīrtana in Madras. Engaging in such material practices may even prove to be appropriate in many forthcoming lifetimes, but as long as someone has bhagavad-seva pravṛtti – the tendency to render service to the Supreme Lord – it is not at all appropriate for him to deteriorate his inclination to serve Him till his very last breath of life.

I am not in favour of the prospect of renunciants, or sannyāsīs, staying in straw huts constructed in the middle of

Mother Parvati is now armed with a case of "On Chanting " Hare Krsna, and plans to lay these cluster bombs in the laps of the lackeys of maya's games, Ohio.  All Victory for the Sankirtana parties of Mahaprabhu ! Choose your targets, Mataji. Hit 'em!

"I can assure you your steady progress in K. C.; as you are sincerely trying for the cause of K.C. In the conditioned stage there is every possibility of being mistaken; but Krishna will always protect us if we are sincere; even if there is a gross mistake, Krishna forgives his who is very sincere so go on working sincerely and Krishna will protect you always."

"The principle should be that we utilize our talents for the service of the Lord. That is real sannyasa. Formal acceptance of sannyasa, as required for all old men, means that one should retire from materialistic life, and devote his time and energy for the service of the Lord. As you are devoted
