In light of a recent conversation experienced, albeit online and in a non-participatory capacity, a few questions came to my mind during the reading of that dialogue in an attempt to comprehend why the conversation was even occurring. They appeared to me in this manner,
So….. Srila Prabhupada stated His books are the lawbooks for the next 10,000 years, so, are there not specific laws these lawbooks are based on ? Hmmmm…… If a transcendental personality compiles these lawbooks for the wandering animalistic masses and further comments on them to clear any misconceptions that would arise in those imperfect beings, like me, doesn’t that mean He is wholly perfect and immensely qualified, above the four material disqualifications and specifically empowered by Lord Krsna Himself, to know the laws and explain them to us? Hmmmm…If the lawbooks and laws are known, aren’t their going to be strict followers who abide by and embody such laws ? Hmmmmm….. If there are criminals who deride and disobey such laws and lawbooks due to lust, greed, anger, pride etc., isn’t there going to be enforcers of such laws to redirect and/or punish perpetrators ? Hmmmmm….If somehow there are no current guardians of the lawbooks and laws, or if there are guardians and we try to remove them or just ignore them, can we therefore conclude that the laws, lawbooks, guardians, and the compiler, Srila Prabhupada, thereof don’t currently exist, and possibly never existed, ever ?
This last spiritually terminating, mental inexercise, seems to be the one that conjured up the whole ordeal, and has been consistently answered irrationally by the current and prominent demonic mentality of this miserable world that goes, “well, we won the war, and we are here now, and they aren’t, so we being the winners, we will create the history we want people to know, praising our own heroism and chivalrous acts, increasing our own popularity, and them and all that other stuff, we will discredit as ancient, archaic and mythical, just made up stories.” But that stance is, and has always been, a heaping pile of excrement, and not from a cow. So ill answer all the above questions honestly and real quick, ready, they are emphatically yes, yes, yes, yes, and 100% absolutely not, because, the compiler Srila Prabhupada exists, His lawbooks exist, Lord Sri Krsnas’ laws still exist, and there are guardians of these priceless gifts, be it known or unknown, despite the fact the mischievous fools answer yes here too, and that is where and why their downfall drastically quickens, the veil of ignorance growing in stature, obstructing their vision.
So, in the conversation that was observed, this last ridiculous proposition that came to my mind still seems to be the most pertinent one that emerged, especially because it seems to keep appearing again and again and again and again in the bewildered nitya baddhas inferior mind here on Bharata-varsa to validate their actions. This bezerk, crippled minded rationale of, “There are no laws, nor any lawbooks, since Srila Prabhupada is gone”, and since He’s departed or whatever silly idea they think, then automatically, “there are no guardians of all these irreplaceable treasures that emanated from Him,” which leads to, “we can manufacture or own way,” seems to be the explanation for all deviations introduced and instituted after Srila Prabhupada so called disappeared. It escapes my understanding as to why anyone is willfully participating in that act, attempting to erase the laws and lawbooks, which is actually an effort to erase His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Krsna, in favor of establishing whatever whimsical demonic ideas are placed in their barren mind by whatever non Krsna entity they worship. Be it a picasa, raksasa, jinn, yaksa, i certainly haven’t the slightest clue what they bow down to.
But, somehow they have decided to trade in their everlasting purity for a pit of puke by disregarding the laws (Sri Krsna), the lawbooks, and even the Beautiful Pure Soul Srila Prabhupada, who graciously placed them freely before us and them. However, despite this crooked and perverted attempt to mislead others to their lair of lies, there is an impassable, unforgettable clause placed before their path. And that unavoidable blockade is that there are laws, and He, Srila Prabhupada, who is given the authority to compile them by Lord Sri Krsna no less, The Original Supreme Absolute Personality of Godead, is perfectly qualified to do so and institute them for the next 9,950 years of our years on this planet, which will unquestionably come to fruition.
Furthermore, due to this almighty and unchangeable arrangement, there are going to be happy adherents to these laws, rejoicing unabashedly, and then, some of these souls will guard these priceless treasures, protecting them as their life and soul, and then some of these souls will be the ones who chastise the miscreants who are causing disruption. Like what was happening in the conversation i took in, only some verbal reprimanding. Yeah, i know, the mischief mongers don’t even appreciate that slight form of punishment, but since when do they ever like anything that exposes their dastardly deeds and abolishes all the material influenced, ecclesiastically made up dogmas they worship ? If one is humble they are thankful for this uttered slight scolding, a rerouting, because, if it were not for Lord Nityananda Prabhuji, and His exhibited compassion and tolerance as the original Spiritual Master, these current, ongoing forms of disruption, instead of being handled that way, would be quickly met with Sri Krsnas’ uncheckable Sudasarna Cakra.
Prabhupāda: And here are the surrendered souls. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, api cet sudurācāro. “Even they have got some bad symptoms,” bhajate mām ananya-bhāk, “but if he is fully Kṛṣṇa conscious,” sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ (BG 9.30), “he is sādhu.” So if we want to make the whole world sādhu, perfect human being, then we have to push on this movement without any hesitation. All people will be sādhu, and then there will be peace and prosperity. Morning Walk — April 15, 1976, Bombay
So where do we go now? Well for nobody me, i am sending out a tremendous thank you to Sudarsana Prabhu, Mahesh Raja, Balarama das, Marici das, Anubhavananda das, Krishna Books Incorporated, the Prabhupadanugas team, Niranjan dasa, and all the other actual real devotees, ( you know who you are) and aspiring servants, (you know who you are too !) of Sri Govindas’ Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada, for not lying down and being spineless corpses in these times where the blatantly cheating demons dare us to resist.
A time where fear based tactics, charlatanism, intimidation, grammatical trickery, political corrected-ness, blind following/wanting to fit in, etc. etc. all glorified forms of cowardice, which are all a form of ignorance, are exalted and worshipped as the truth, by those proposing and perpetuating them. Yes the action of ignoring is the fruit beared from the tree of ignorance, but these blessed souls, and others like them, have found that tree, unsheathed their razor edged axes, and have started hacking away with careless enthusiasm.
One may ask, why am i so concerned about this conversation i read ? What does any of it have to do with you ? Well, this is what Srila Prabhupada stated August 22 1973 in London.
“The whole situation has been spoiled by these so-called rascal gurus who gives his own opinion. This is our plain declaration: Let any rascal guru come. We can convince him that he is not guru, because he is speaking differently….So guru is one. Guru cannot be two. As soon as you find two opinions of guru, either both of them are rascals, or one is still at least rascal.”
Yes, there is no such thing as two opinions, guru is one. And, there is only one Lord Sri Krsna, and, His dear and bona-fide representatives Vani, are also one, and, this is true all the way to the cosmic annihilation and after, and nothing else. Lucky for materially conditioned beings like me, the real and devoted souls to Srila Prabhupada, like these souls aforementioned, and other true Srila Prabhupada disciples, arrived and accepted the never time changing, immortal understanding of His Vani.
This glorious decision, to uphold these instructions way before i was ever re-introduced to Krsna consciousness, by all those souls who did it and are still doing it, steadily defending Srila Prabhupada and His body of work, fighting to keep everything He produced As It Is, informing the innocent/ignorant fools like me about who are the upstart rascal demons posing as gurus and exposing their apologist counterparts, exposing their fanatically sentimental speculations, which persistently manifest as a very much happy and proud to be in disagreement with His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada, and Lord Caintanyas’ movement, if not for them, then i have no doubts i would be part of their pitiful PhD camp, with my own ruinous Prabhupada hating degree, for lack of knowledge about what is actually what. With deep regards, all my love, honor and respect is poured endlessly to Srila Prabhupada and those fully surrendered devotees to Him. Srila Prabhupada and His righteous followers saved me from the brink of self-obliteration. That is the honest forefront truth.
One may ask, why would i have been snookered ? Well, because i am imperfect being, and the avaricious other side in this war knows that, and due to this they sinisterly attempted to use it to their advantage in their psychopathic narcissistic games of mind play, involving bullying and fraud, because that is where they are hovering, on the crashing plane of the mind, which only puffs up their false ego more and more, just like who they emulate, the Dr. Frogs. But, somehow, by Sri Krsnas’ unlimited mercy and due to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, and the pure souls following Sri Krsna and Srila Prabhupada, who never contemplated surrendering to haters like the Dr, Frogs and their troop of croakers, i was fortunately whisked away from these Putanas who were attempting to suffocate and destroy my newly planted bhakti lata bija, attempting to smother it from taking unabashed shelter of Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.
“But I do not know why our students who are supposed to be the leaders of this movement will fight amongst themselves for supremacy. Our whole process is of surrendering. We are taught to address others as Prabhu. Prabhu means master; and the leader of the masters is called Prabhupada. So if the Prabhus have surrendered to the Prabhupada, why there shall be such mentality of occupying the superior position? This is contradictory. Kindly stop this unnecessary misunderstanding.” (Letter to: Bali-mardana, Upendra Los Angeles,10 May, 1970)
Yes, you amazing Vaikuntha bound souls, you Prabhujis and Matajis, have understood how to surrender to Srila Prabhupada, (there are not two), and have all selflessly looked out for your degraded siblings, like me, and our best interests, by your living example. This has be accomplished by staying reposed at Srila Prabhupadas’ lotus feet, leading by being authentically humble and a grateful follower, not budging a nanometer, not caring for false egotistical positions of adoration and fame, and thereby introducing us to Him, and for this, i am indebted to you all. Again, if you all had drank the mayavadi poisoned kool-aid, like the rest of our kin, i would have no idea about the unadulterated Absolute Truth, and would be quickly clearing my path straight to perpetual forgetfulness too, insanely enjoying imprisonment, just like them. Fortunately or unfortunately, misery loves company and the Dr. Frogs current state of misery is in love with their croaking company. Personally, i’ll stay “alone” with Srila Prabhupada and the known and vetted pure devotees of Him and Sri Krsna, who show themselves with actions and words, which i hear and are jubilantly alive, instead of gambling away this life and the next for want of acceptance, just to be a part of something, which most cannot see is very much in its death throes.
“My Guru Maharaja used to say, “Don’t try to see a saintly person by your eyes. You see a saintly person by the ear.” Because if you hear from the saintly person and if he is speaking from the experience which he has heard from the, another saintly person–this is called guru-parampara–then the knowledge is perfect. ( Srila Prabhupada class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.42,Los Angeles 8th June 1976.)
Yes, as soon as the intelligent warriors arrive on the scene who are Pro Krsna and Pro His pure devotees, and they start volleying immense and vast amounts of weapons of mass destruction in the form of Parampara Authorized Vani, all the anti Krsna scoundrels in their “hope to be believable costumes” get very, very, bitter and accusatory, just like a small child who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar after being told to leave the cookies alone. The but, but, buts come out in an attempt to blame something or someone else for what they are doing and have done. Yes, that is their immature nature, their custom, due to still being material conditioned, and also how they express their fear, because they have been exposed as the thieves they are, and therefore their lower than a candala word jugglery can’t impress nor fool anyone anymore, let alone save them from countless and repeated material births, deaths, miseries, old agedness, and diseases.
“Unless you distinguish between demons and devotees, you cannot progress in Krishna consciousness.” (Stated by Srila Prabhupada in the book “The Hare Krishna Explosion”)
To you pure devotees of Srila Prabhupada, you know who you are, i beg of you, please stay standing, and you other pure devotees of His Divine Grace, currently situated out of view, please stand up, so as to accept my humble Dandavats at your feet. Please accept my acknowledgement and respect for your unalloyed service to Srila Prabhupada. You beautiful souls are keeping forgetful souls like me away from the “revised, new and improved” apasampradayas gallivanting in Srila Prabhupadas’ name.
You are the ones that have kept, and are guarding, His and Sri Caintanya Mahaprabhus’ mission, keeping Hari-nama Sankirtana alive and freely moving, forever helping out the neophytes, the aspiring devotees, like me. Thank you externally, internally and eternally, for not walking away from Srila Prabhupada and His mercy. Yes, you all have crossed over a line, the line that demarcated repeated illusion versus indestructible reality, you have crossed over to the Spiritual Worlds in this life while present in this body, and for that, we are all in complete awe and reverence in your company. Please, we beg you for your continued kindness to the lost souls, uninterrupted, in Srila Prabhupadas’ holy and glorious name.
Long Live Lord Caitanya ! Long Live Lord Nityananda ! Long Live Srila Prabhupada !
All-ways inspired by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada,

Infinite Glory, Victory and Allegiance to Srila Prabhupada !!!

….Prabhupāda: And here are the surrendered souls. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, api cet sudurācāro. “Even they have got some bad symptoms,” bhajate mām ananya-bhāk, “but if he is fully Kṛṣṇa conscious,” sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ (BG 9.30), “he is sādhu.” ….
Just came across this explanation by Śrīla Prabhupāda about
‘api cet sudurācāro’
https://prabhupadavani.org/transcriptions/śrīmad-bhāgavatam-6114/
And sādhu. The Bhagavad-gītā… Who is sādhu? That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gītā: api cet su-durācāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ [Bg. 9.30]. One who is performing devotional service without any deviation, ananya-bhāk,undivided mind, simply unto Kṛṣṇa, he is sādhu.
So api cet su-durācāro. If somebody says, “These devotee, these American and European devotees, we accept as sādhu, but they have got some bad habits.” Suppose one sees, according to the European-American custom after eating they do not wash hands. That is…, they are not practiced to that way. So similarly, if I see that “Here is an American devotee or European devotee, he ate but did not wash his hands, so he is not yet perfect,” “No,” Kṛṣṇa says. “No.” Api cet suḍurācāro. This is a small fault that he has not washed his hands.
But we should not neglect to wash our hands. If by mistake, if by forgetfulness I do that, that is excused. But not that because it is excused we shall follow…, we shall neglect the rules and regulations. But Kṛṣṇa says that even he is suḍurācāro, his behavior is not up to the standards, still he is sādhu. Still, sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ [Bg. 9.30].He should be taken, accepted as sādhu. Because why? Because he has taken Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Without any deviation he is engaged in His service. That qualification makes him sādhu. It is not that by mistake, if he commits some mistake in his behavior….

‘api cet sudurācāro’
….not washing hands after eating???…a small mistake due to ignorance and formerly bad habits…..nothing about changing the books…
