**Enemies of Srila Prabhupada Mission Revealed......
Srila Prabhupada boldly and fearlessly acted as a 'One-Man Army' fighting a huge battle against illusion or Maya. He even named His enemies in this fight. In the West it was the Christians, Scientists, and Some parents, who lost their Sons and Daughters not to 'drugs, sex, and rock en roll', but to the 'Swamiji's' missionary service.
In India, it was the Politicians, Caste Brahmins, Mayavadi Swami's and even His Own God-brothers. In this Post you will learn of Srila Prabhupada's introspective thoughts on the above.......
Prabhupada: Unfortunately, I am struggling single-handed. And they are criticizing me in the [India] Parliament. You have seen the recent article (newspaper) Blitz against me? What is that heading? "Ungodly face." I am doing ungodly? But they are advertising like that, trying to make me unpopular. The Mayavadis, they say that Bhaktivedanta Swami is ruining Hinduism. They are saying like that. So I am being criti

Close lifelong friend Perry McNaughton / Padmapani Prabhu ACBSSP, has gone to Sridhama Mayapura to join Lord Nityananda's eternal kirtans.
Mild, brave, steady, poetic, intelligent, clean, determined, devoted, hard working, tolerant, come to mind of his character.
I went to high school with Padma. We travelled India together. We did sankirtan all over America and Canada.  Our mothers were best friends. He worked for me for over a year, i bought him a car he used to travel to Mexico.
Next to you, and Ramon who doesn't call either, my closest living friend now gone. I was thinking of him tried to find his phone number, like, day before yesterday. I hope he remembers us and prays for us to be freed from maya. Gauranga!

Srila Prabhupada, in a discussion with a Chicago Police Lieutenant named Lt. Mozzee , is found in the Science of Self Realization.
Addressing this issue of crime and how to minimize and even eliminate it, he spoke with great confidence in the process of Krsna Consciousness as the real and indeed only means to accomplish that.
Lieutenant Mozee: I understand you have some ideas that could help us in our efforts to prevent crime. I'd be very interested to hear them.
Srila Prabhupada: The difference between a pious man and a criminal is that one is pure in heart and the other is dirty. This dirt is like a disease in the form of uncontrollable lust and greed in the heart of the criminal. Today people in general are in this diseased condition, and thus crime is very widespread. When the people become purified of these dirty things, crime will disappear. The simplest process of purification is to assemble in congregation and chant the holy names of God. This is called sankirtana and

 mahakumbha mela, gour govinda swami relevant for book

Chicago Rathayatra, '75

It was a warm humid summer in Chicago in Evanston at the Hare Krsna Temple, 1975. It was a wonderful temple, with Sri Sri Kishor-Kishori, Gour Nitai, and Lord Jagannatha Swami and his Brother Baladeva, and Their beautiful and sometimes ksatriya-like sister Subhadra devi, resplendent inside.

There were many devotees' vehicles, including the bus party, lining streets all around the mandira. There was to be Rathayatara, initiations including a babaji sannyasa initiation for Audolomi Prabhu, Deity installations, and Srila Prabhupada would lecture on Ajamila from Srimad Bhagavatam.

Srila Prabhupad met Illinois state officials and spoke on the topic of "Crime, What to do", from the Times headlines of the month, and offered them a real solution. He asked for use of buildings, and cooperation. Although

May be an image of 1 personAnother morning walk was during an unusually sunny day. Prabhupada stopped me and he said, “You stand right here and face the sun.” So, I did. He said, “See, you are looking at the sun, no shadow.” Then he said, “Now turn around.” So, I turned around and immediately, of course, I was in my shadow. He said, “Yes, you see? You turned around. So, if you face Krishna, there is no maya. But, as soon as you turn around, then there is shadow, which is maya.” Prabhupada gave a graphic example of that particular phrase. It became a banner on the cover of the Back to Godhead magazine.

Sivananda das: We were walking along the London pier and there was a tugboat that was bringing in a huge ocean liner. Prabhupada looked at that and said, “Ah! Look at this big powerful boat and little, tiny tugboat. A little, tiny tugboat is pulling the big ocean liner.” He said, “You see, this big ocean liner is very powerful. That little tugboat is not as powerful, but the big ocean liner has turned off its engin

"YOU ARE NOT LOVER OF GOD, YOU ARE LOVER OF DOG, SO HOW YOU CAN SEE GOD?"
His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedantaswami Prabhupada:
You do not know; therefore you have to learn. If you want to remain rascal, fool, and still you want to know, that is not possible. You have to know from the real source. Then you'll know. But if you keep yourself in the rascal platform, then how you will know? Just like you have to go to a school to learn things. So how you can learn at home?
Tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet [MU 1.2.12]. You have to go in order to understand that science. So how do you argue, keeping yourself in darkness? In darkness you cannot see anything. "Oh, I do not see anything; therefore there is nothing." Is that very good reason? You are blind, you cannot see the darkness. That is another thing. But things are there. You make your eyes operated and manifest your vision. Then you'll see.
Therefore, ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur-unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śr

SILVER TONGUED GBC AND THE POLITICS OF DENIAL
And now, a few words about the latest news in the poison issue and the continued GBC obfuscation and cover-ups…
Those with silver-tongues are good at persuading people, very often of things that are outright false. “Silver-tongued” alludes to the dark and evil side of a person hidden behind a saintly smile, or to one who has a clever way with words. This would accurately describe the ISKCON GBC for the last almost five decades, as they have fooled the devotees with high-sounding proclamations and authoritative-sounding resolutions. Each year ISKCON’s Lawbook adds more contradicting and anomalous rules and policies which have rendered the Divine Mission of the ISKCON Founder-Acharya Srila Prabhupada crippled, covered, and spoiled.
“There is no evidence at this time to support the allegations of poisoning of Srila Prabhupada.” (GBC resolution, 2000)
Noteworthy are the illustrious GBC’s resolutions

★"Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is directed with this understanding, and therefore the asuras always try to suppress it."★★★
The demigods and the Vaiṣṇavas especially are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu, because they are always obedient to His orders (oṁ tad viṣṇoḥ paramaṁ padaṁ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ). The demoniac followers of Kaṁsa thought that if the Vaiṣṇavas, saintly persons and sages were persecuted, the original body of Viṣṇu would naturally be destroyed. Thus they decided to suppress Vaiṣṇavism. The asuras perpetually struggle to persecute the Vaiṣṇavas because they do not want Vaiṣṇavism to spread. Vaiṣṇavas preach only devotional service, not encouraging karmīs, jñānīs and yogīs, because if one must liberate oneself from material, conditional life, one must ultimately become a Vaiṣṇava. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is directed with this understanding, and therefore the asuras always try to suppress it.

ISKCON: A CORRUPT, CRIMINAL LEADERSHIP
Unqualified leaders should be removed. This occurs in democratic and parliamentarian governments with regulated systems meant to counter corruption in a country. It also occurred in times of the Vedic civilization, such as when Duryodhana was removed from Hastinapura and when brahmanas removed the evil king Vena.
After Srila Prabhupada’s departure the GBC installed themselves for life as an elite guru club and placed themselves beyond the control or review of any outside persons or bodies, including the general constituency or body of devotees. Thus the GBC has become corrupt to the core with no checks or balances on their activities or policies. This is why the GBC can make preposterous resolutions like, "There is no evidence at this time to support the allegations of poisoning of Srila Prabhupada."
“As soon as there is a little deficiency we must repair it or it will create a big hole and the ship will drown. [...] Without fol
