SRILA PRABHUPADA WAS POISONED: WHAT NOW?

We have compiled some interesting comments and questions from (and answers to) those who watched the films from the Truth Committee regarding the evidence and logical conclusions about Srila Prabhupada having been poisoned with cadmium at levels about 250 times above the normal average person. The response has been generally very positive and that the evidence has largely spoken for itself, and that the scientific proof from hair tests and audio forensics is conclusively convincing. Of course, there are those who have blocked minds or strong emotional hostility, and they invariably have not even understood what the evidence is, and they appear to have no desire to look at it openly. However, judging from the aftermath and responses, it seems the facts and evidence that Srila Prabhupada was indeed poisoned is profoundly changing the way devotees look upon many things, and especially as to what has happened since Srila Prabhupad

Preaching is the essence

''Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.''
Bg:16/7-9

Palaka Dasa, it was my assumption only that Rupanuga was a BBT trustee. I do not know whether he was or not. So if I am wrong my hearty apology. That is one thing!

Next it was in 1972 yes it was 1972 when Bali Mardan picked me up at Tiffany Place ISKCON Press, in his car, and told me to get in and sit in the back as he was going to pick up Sankirtan devottees. He knew I was austere and so he wanted to know my opinion on Srila Prabhupada's decision that all GBC members take sannyas and thus retain their post.

My not much appreciated, forthcoming and immediate answer was, "I think it is a very good idea - the GBC they should be the most austere." So if Karandhara was GBC maybe he did not take sannyas, although awarded by the asking. I saw him in white in May 1973. Again as I had stated it may have been a revised book that contained this 8th canto purport as I had mentioned - as in ISKCON Press in Los Angeles every time their was a second press run - all big books had

COW PROTECTION is something which is held in the highest regard within our ISKCON society; yet, often misunderstood in its practical application. One cause is a lack of understanding of the cows’ importance within the agricultural ecosystem. If rural development is to evolve and be successful, changes need to be made in this area.
Cows are a beneficial and essential component of sustainable farming. They force a broadening of crops to include hay and pasture – both important additions to sustainable food production. In addition, some small grains can be grown to supplement the herd’s diet. This provides a practical need to expand crop diversity which is a pillar of sustainability.
The herd’s obvious contributions are milk and draft. Historically, our movement has excelled, at least in the short to medium term, on producing milk. But milk production is not the only objective of cow protection. The challenge found concerning dairy production has been herd size expanding b

A letter to a former dear friend:
Dear (Name withheld) Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I'm writing you after over 12 years of no communication in the hopes that we can resume our friendship. I remember you so fondly: the horse rides we enjoyed together, having kirtan, sharing prasadam and having each other to lean on when we were going through the various trials and tribulations of our younger years.

What happened? From my perspective, I revealed my mind after discovering the 11 zonal acaryas were not appointed as pure devotee diksa gurus by Srila Prabhupada. I told you that the letter the zonal acaryas used as their “appointment” was actually an order for them to become ritviks. Admittedly this discussion occurred over the internet, so when you no longer replied, I had to assume that you were avoiding my association, and I guessed that you viewed me as an offender to the devotees who had taken on the service as diksa gurus in ISKCON. This w
