NEW STATEMENT FROM JFSPFoundation, May 13, 2025
(We have confidential info that the ISKCON GBC is sweating now...)
"Srila Prabhupada’s Departure Deserves More Than Dismissal: A Call for Truth and Transparency in ISKCON
On April 25, 2025, Anuttama Das, GBC Minister, ISKCON Communications, issued a public statement on unfounded poison allegations regarding Srila Prabhupada. The document, issued in response to renewed investigations by the Justice for Srila Prabhupada Foundation, claims that these concerns have been thoroughly debunked and are based on unreliable evidence.
As an organization committed to Srila Prabhupada’s mission, we believe this response is not only inadequate—it is an affront to the transparency, truthfulness, and fearlessness that Prabhupada himself demanded of us.

The Communications Ministry claims that the allegations

WHO CAN BECOME A GURU?
Question: Is it safe to take disciples?
His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura:
Give up envy and become compassionate toward all living entities. Convert the godless living entities into devotees of Krishna. Do not become a guru and become envious. Do not become a guru so you can drown in the ocean of material enjoyment. Do not become a guru for the sake of formality. But if you can become a sincere servant of your spiritual master and Krsna and attain their mercy, then there is nothing to fear. Otherwise, your degradation is guaranteed.

RESPONSE TO ISKCON GBC MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS
AND THEIR APRIL 25, 2025 DENIAL OF “POISONING ALLEGATIONS”
The ISKCON GBC, whose credibility has declined precipitously and universally, partly due to repeated denials that there is any evidence that HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada was maliciously poisoned by some of his caretakers, recently issued another absurd denial. Those who know the facts are weary of the GBC’s same old duplicities, weak argumentative fallacies, wrong facts, bad science, and evasive tactics. However, the truth is closing in on them, as their denials fail to impress devotees, who are no longer fooled by their misleading word games and misinformation.
The ISKCON misleaders try hard to stem the tide of truth revelations, rising into a tsunami, and the more they resist the truth, the worse it gets for them.
They are opposed to the sup

Devotee: Therefore, when we hear from the words..., the words of guru, we are actually hearing Kṛṣṇa.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is said, yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ. If you please guru, then Kṛṣṇa is pleased, because he is saying the same thing. Just like we are... What we are doing? Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja(BG 18.66). We are saying that "You just surrender to Kṛṣṇa." We are inventing nothing. Therefore I am guru. Because I am saying Kṛṣṇa's words, not my words, therefore I am guru. As soon as I say my words, then I am not guru. This is the significance.
Devotee (2): You are the only one, Śrīla Prabhupāda, who claims to be servant. The rest of them take Kṛṣṇa's position.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Because they are not guru.
Devotee (3): So they are called Māyāvādīs.
Prabhupāda: They are not guru. That is the difficulty, that one who is not guru, he is taking the place of guru. Therefore people are misguided.

Canto 8: Withdrawal of the Cosmic Creations
Chapter Twelve : The Mohinī-mūrti Incarnation Bewilders Lord Śiva
Text 06
SB.8.12.06
Pure devotees or great saintly persons who desire to achieve the highest goal in life and who are completely free from all material desires for sense gratification engage constantly in the transcendental service of Your lotus feet.
PURPORT
One is in the material world when he thinks, “I am this body, and everything with reference to my body is mine.” Ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair janasya moho ’yam ahaṁ mameti [SB 5.5.8]. This is the symptom of material life. In the materialistic conception of life, one thinks, “This is my house, this is my land, this is my family, this is my state,” and so on. But those who are munayaḥ, saintly persons following in the footsteps of Nārada Muni, simply engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord without any personal desire for sense gratification.

The Pure Devotee’s Transcendental Pastimes
 By Nityananda das
Sometimes it is said that the poison issue defames Srila Prabhupada and it is a disservice to him. But the discussion of the facts in Srila Prabhupada’s mysterious departure actually glorifies him and is a defamation of his poisoners. Srila Prabhupada knew he was being poisoned, and yet offered no protest, as seen in the tape-recorded conversations. This unselfish acceptance, without objection, of the betrayal and violence that was inflicted on him is a wonderful display of His Divine Grace’s transcendental glories. This is comparable to the acceptance of crucifixion by Jesus Christ, the unprotested flogging death of Haridas Thakur, and the poisoning of a submissive Prahlad by his demonic father. Just as one would study any other of Srila Prabhupada’s pivotal pastimes, such as his preaching about book distribution, his guruku

RILA PRABHUPADA STOTRAM,  Nityananda Prabhu
Finally, after almost 50 years, we have had someone (see comments) complete the translation of these 22 Sanskrit verses in praise of Srila Prabhupada. Take alook...
“This stotram was composed by Sri Ananta Rama Shastri who was a Vaishnava Sanskrit scholar who was initiated by and requested by Srila Prabhupada to assist him in the translation of the Srimad Bhagavatam commentaries of the various acharyas. He used to travel with Srila Prabhupada in India and he was in the Sanskrit department assisting Srila Prabhupada in translation work. He compiled five slokas which describe much of Srila Prabhupada’s divine mission and character also. Prabhupada very much liked these five slokas. We used to sing them every morning before Guru Puja by his vyasasana. It was composed and first sung directly in the presence of Srila Prabhupada at Sri Chandrodaya Mandira, Mayapur Dhama at Gaura Purnima just before daily Guru puja in 1976. In late 1976 Srila P

Lalita Sakhi INCREDIBLE DREAM!

INCREDIBLE DREAM!
"Srila Prabhupada once said, 'I will see to it that those who will distribute my books will be taken out of this world.'
Sometimes he would say, "I will ask Bhaktivinod Thakur to come at the time of death for those who will distribute my books." Even so...
I'll tell a story told to me by Radha-kunda Mataji, a disciple of Prabhupada from Vrindavan. She is a legendary book distributor. How many years she has been in Krishna consciousness: 45 or 48? All these years she has been distributing books, until now. When she comes to Srila Prabhupada's samadhi, she brings books in Hindi, Bengali and just distributes them - and she always has a blissful smile on her face....
She told me the following story.
"All my life, consciously or unconsciously, I have been trying to distribute Prabhupada's books. I had cancer, through distributing books, it went away. I had a husband who used to beat me, but I distributed books and those hardships pas

  "Give up all paths and surrender to Me! I will deliver you, do not be afraid." -Sri Krishna in Bhavada Gita.
The Supreme Intelligent computor, we call Godhead, invites us to cease our prodigal play in matter, where we in fact suffer without cessation. The spiritual sky is perfect, under His control, and His associates do not suffer the pains and pleasures of mundane temporal lives any longer.
Knowing this, it behooves us to seek out our own liberation, by reinstating ourselves under Divine Grace.

SB 7.14.39, Translation and Purport
My dear King, when great sages and saintly persons saw mutually disrespectful dealings at the beginning of Tretā-yuga, Deity worship in the temple was introduced with all paraphernalia.
As it is said in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 12.3.52):
kṛte yad dhyāyato viṣṇuṁ
tretāyāṁ yajato makhaiḥ
dvāpare paricaryāyāṁ
kalau tad dhari-kīrtanāt
"Whatever result one obtained in Satya-yuga by meditating on Viṣṇu, in Tretā-yuga by performing sacrifices and in Dvāpara-yuga by serving the Lord's lotus feet one can also obtain in Kali-yuga simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra." In Satya-yuga, every person was spiritually advanced, and there was no envy between great personalities. Gradually, however, because of material contamination with the advance of the ages, disrespectful dealings appeared even among brāhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas. Actually, an advanced Vaiṣṇava is to be respected more than Viṣṇu. As stated in the Padma Purāṇa, ārādhanānāṁ sarveṣāṁ viṣṇor ārādhanaṁ

 Srila Prabhupada replies: There is a short story in this regard, it is about a snake who became a devotee on the instruction of Narada, who instructed her not to bite anymore. As usually a snake’s business is to fatally sting other living entities, as a devotee it was forbidden to do so. Unfortunately, people took advantage of this non-violence from the snake, especially the children, who started throwing stones at it. She didn't bite anyone else, however, because it was her spiritual master's instruction.
 
After a while, when the cobra met his spiritual master, Narada, he complained, "I've given up the bad habit of biting innocent living entities, but they're mistreating me by throwing stones at me." Hearing this, Narada Muni instructed her: "Don't bite, but don't forget to expand your hood like you were going to bite." So people will run away with fear." Likewise, a devotee is always non-violent; he is qualified with all good qualities. But in the ordinary wo
