Srila Prabhupada is describing that when the Kazi tried to stop the Sankirtan Movement, Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu organized a protest march on the Kazi, rallying hundreds of thousands of people to come and put pressure on the Kazi because he was doing the wrong thing by mistreating the Vaisnavas who were on sankirtan. Srila Prabhupada says:
"This incident shows clearly that the Lord was not a so-called timid Vaisnava. A Vaisnava is a fearless devotee of the Lord, and for the right cause he can take any step suitable for the purpose. Arjuna was also a Vaisnava devotee of Lord Krsna, and he fought valiantly for the satisfaction of the Lord. Similarly, Vajrangaji, or Hanuman, was also a devotee of Lord Rama, and he gave lessons to the nondevotee party of Ravana. The principles of Vaisnavism are to satisfy the Lord by all means. A Vaisnava is by nature a nonviolent, peaceful living being, and he has all the good qualities of God, but when the nondevotee blasphemes the Lord or His devotee
Srila Prabhupada: “Somebody was criticizing me that “Swamiji, you are introducing this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. People are becoming coward. They simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.” So I replied that “You will see the power of Hare Kṛṣṇa movement in due course of time.” He required… Because there were two battles in India: the battle between Rāvaṇa and Rāma, Rāma-Rāvaṇa, the battle of Rāmāyaṇa; and another battle was Battle of Kurukṣetra. And in these two battles the hero was Vaiṣṇava and Viṣṇu. In the Rāma-Rāvaṇa battle Lord Rāmacandra was there and His devotee Hanumān, Vajrāṅgajī. Similarly, in the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, Kṛṣṇa was there and His devotee Arjuna was there. So Vaiṣṇavas, they do not simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. If there is need, they can fight under the guidance of Viṣṇu and become victorious. A Vaiṣṇava’s one qualification is… Out of the twenty-six qualifications, one qualification is dakṣa,expert. If there is need of fighting, they can fight like very expert. That is also needed. K

Editing Srila Prabhupada’s BooksBy Narasimha das
Before Srila Prabhupada’s first revised editions of Srimad-Bhagavatam were complete, we used to study and have classes from Srila Prabhupada’s India editions of the first three cantos. The devotees loved these editions, even though it seemed they were “irregularly composed” and contained some obvious typos. We thought Srila Prabhupada’s English was exotic and beautifully poetic, but perhaps dated or influenced by British prose from the 1800s. We later learned that these editions were edit

Don't wish to nag much, but would some of our learned illustrious friends here at spiritnet be so kind as to comment on something once in a while?
That'd be great. Or donate, that is always welcome, right now, looking for Gita donations by the case.
We are Srila Prabhupada's disciples since the early seventies, so if you doubt, then just ask Father Time.
Pretty please? What, I gotta beg?
Jaya! Thanks! AGT Srila Prabhupada.

Life without Love is useless and poor they say,
Appoint me in Thy service, Oh Lord with Love as my pay.
"Similarly, we must find out the essential part of a living being which is always companion with him. That part of constant companion of the living being is his eternal quality, and the eternal part of the living being's quality is his eternal religion."
WE DO NOT FOLLOW NOR READ BUDDHIST NOR CHRISTIAN IDEAS, SAYS PRABHUPADA !!
"Regarding your question about Lord Jesus Christ, we accept him as saktyavesa avatara. Lord Buddha is in the same category also. Lord Buddha is mentioned specifically in Srimad-Bhagavatam as incarnation of Godhead, and yet Vaisnavas do not accept his philosophy, which is classified as atheism. Similarly, even if we accept Lord Jesus Christ as saktyavesa avatara., it doesn't mean that we have to accept his philosophy. But we have all respects for him without fail.
Regarding books like Aquarian Gospel or even the Testiments, we cannot accept them as authorities because sometimes it is learnt that the words are not actually spoken by Christ, but they are so set up by the devotees. For example, in the Ten Commandments it is clearly stated "Thou shalt not kill", but some Bishop in Boston has changed it to "Thou shalt do no murder". This means the Bishop wants to keep hold for animal slaughter. So don't bother ab
Srila Prabhupada writes - "Śrīpāda Rāmānujācārya and Madhvācārya break the teethof the Māyāvādī philosophers, who can therefore be called Vidantīs, "toothless."

· For a neophyte especially, considering a pure devotee from a material point of view is very injurious. One should try to see the internal features and understand how he is engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord
This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a transcendental science, and there is no room for jealousy. As soon as one becomes envious, he falls from the platform of paramahaṁsa. If we consider the bodily defects of a Vaiṣṇava, we should understand that we are committing an offense at the lotus feet of the Vaiṣṇava, which is very serious. For a neophyte especially, considering a pure devotee from a material point of view is very injurious. One should try to see the internal features and understand how he is engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Those who think that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is limited to a certain section of people or devotees are generally prone to
In light of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the development of COVID-19 vaccines, many of my students have inquired whether they should get vaccinated or not. As a result, I wish to share my views on this matter with my students and those who look to me for advice. Of course, the final decision whether or not to get vaccinated rests with each individual.
Reply Why? Because I have a low IQ, and am sold-out to the globalist libtard agenda in my utter offensive ignorance.
This is very auspicious, as the fruitloop cultists serving the cia murderers for the globalist libtard demons will also get "shot", and thus the world's worst enemies will gradually be killed by the eugenicists and can no longer spread their bogus cheat cult to send people to hell. They murdered the Acarya, so now they will die miserably and their Paundraka- itsacon cult will become the stool it was
Srila Prabhupada speaks out- "Any rascal who manufactures some idea is not guru.
Immediately kick him out, immediately, that "This is a rascal. This is not a guru." "
If you concoct, "I am very intelligent than my guru, and I can make addition or alteration," then you are finished.
Srimad Bhagavatam Lecture by Srila Prabhupada - Verses 6.1.26-27-PHILADELPHIA - July 12, 1975
We do not know what is our self-interest. And we are hoping against hope, "I shall be happy in this way. I shall be happy in this way." Therefore this word is used, mūḍha. They do not know what is actually his happiness, and he is trying one chapter, another, one chapter, another, "Now I will be happy." The ass. The ass. . . Sometimes the washerman sits on his back and takes a bunch of grass and puts in front of the ass, and the ass wants to take the grass. But as he moving forward, the grass is also mov

Iskcon gurus declare they're not qualified as Gurus in 1981-Iskcon World Magazine June 1981 -
"The present acaryas expressed that although they are supposed to be
the senior most Vaisnavas of the movement, they are still learning about their responsibilities as gurus."
Hare Krsna. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. All glories to all Vaisnavas.
The following article published in June 1981 in the Iskcon's World Magazine shows that the self appointed Gurus themselves declared that they were "still learning their responsibilities as Gurus".
It is also admitted by Satsvarupa Das Goswami here where he says the ISKCON gurus are imitators and fake Gurus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz37qsyc8-M
Now, isn't a Guru supposed to be on the topmost platform of devotional service and an eternally liberated soul(nitya-siddha)? If the Gurus themselv
