Sikhimahiti, 11.01.2012 — This is a video interview with Susan Dharm who attended Srila Prabhupada’s 2nd lecture in the West. This lecture was in Slippery Rock University (near Butler, PA). Srila Prabhupada had only been in America for less than a month.

Susan talks about the impact of the lecture, her desperate search to speak with Srila Prabhupada after the lecture, and her thoughts of finding out what this Indian Swami has accomplished after his stay in Butler, PA in 1965.

    What an auspicious and historic moment in the timeline of the past 5000 years when Śrīla Prabhupāda in 1965 arrives in the United States. Śrīla Prabhupāda stays first in Butler Pennsylvania and starts from Butler Pennsylvania single handedly the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement on behalf of Lord Caitanya. To this day only by the strength of the Original Books of His Divine Grace has this sankirtana movement (the congregational chanting of God’s names) been spreading around the globe to very town and village.

    59 years later in July 2024 the powers that be try to get rid of a fly in their ointment in that very same place, in Butler Pennsylvania.

      Trump “shooting” is all fake! ‘It’s all Kabuki Theatre’ and a Satanic ritual murder of civilians to seal the deal!

      Also dead (Manchurian Candidate) ‘PATSYS’ TELL NO TALES! Another guy was shot dead at the Columbus Ohio rally. (COLUMBIA IS THE ‘LIGHT-BEARER OF LUCIFER!).

      Trump ‘isn’t going to drain the swamp’ HE IS THE SWAMP! AND WILL USE THIS TO DISARM AMERICA OF WEAPONS, AND THEN CREATE A DYSTOPIAN FASCIST “POLICE STATE” REGIME!

      Trump is the puppet of The Pilgim Society (Charles111, Rockerfellers, JP Morgan, Rothschilds) all stage-managed. If he really was a “problem” they would have wacked Trump years ago, covertly no problem, but THE DUMB PUNTERS FALL FOR THIS EVERY TIME!

      Like the German guy ‘WHO WANTED TO MAKE GERMANY GREAT AGAIN’ …. THEY THREW HIM IN JAIL … “PERSECUTED HIM”…. BUT HE EMERGED VICTORIOUS (GAINED CONSENT!) AND ARMED WITH A ‘MANDATE’ REEKED HAVOCK ONTO THE WORLD AND DESTROYED GERMANY!

      ORDO AB CAO …….. WRITTEN ON ALL USA PAPER CURRENCY ……….(Chaos and War are always good for business!) ……… THE GAME IS RIGGED FOLKS! ………… IT’S ALL INSIDER TRADING! ………..
      THE DUMP ‘PATRIOTIC PUNTERS’ FALL FOR IT EVERY TIME! ……….. THERE’S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE! ……… HISTORY JUST REPEATING ITSELF AGAIN!

    • There had been a discussion sometime ago in this comment section about why sometimes suddenly bad thoughts come and why sometimes suddenly sinful desires make their appearance in the mind,

      Here is the ” Why ” in S.B.7.8.42

      Translation

      “King Indra said: O Supreme Lord, You are our deliverer and protector. Our shares of sacrifices, which are actually Yours, have been recovered from the demon by You. Because the demoniac king Hiraṇyakaśipu was most fearsome, our hearts, which are Your permanent abode, were all overtaken by him. Now, by Your presence, the gloom and darkness in our hearts have been dissipated. O Lord, for those who always engage in Your service, which is more exalted than liberation, all material opulence is insignificant. They do not even care for liberation, not to speak of the benefits of kāma, artha and dharma.”

      PURPORT
      In this material world there are two kinds of people—the devatās (demigods) and the asuras (demons). Although the demigods are attached to material enjoyment, they are devotees of the Lord who act according to the rules and regulations of the Vedic injunctions. During the reign of Hiraṇyakaśipu, everyone was disturbed in the routine duties of Vedic civilization. When Hiraṇyakaśipu was killed, all the demigods, who had always been disturbed by Hiraṇyakaśipu, felt relief in their general way of life.

      Because the government in Kali-yuga is full of demons, the living conditions of devotees are always disturbed. Devotees cannot perform yajña, and thus they cannot partake of the remnants of food offered in yajña for the worship of Lord Viṣṇu. The hearts of the demigods are always filled with fear of the demons, and therefore they cannot think of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The engagement of the demigods is to think of the Lord always within the cores of their hearts. The Lord says in Bhagavad-gītā (6.47):

      yoginām api sarveṣāṁ
      mad gatenāntarātmanā
      śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ
      sa me yuktatamo mataḥ

      “And of all yogīs, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.”

      The demigods fully absorb themselves in meditation upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead to become perfect yogīs, but because of the presence of demons, their hearts are filled with the activities of the demons. Thus their hearts, which are meant to be the abode of the Supreme Lord, are practically occupied by the demons.

      All the demigods felt relieved when Hiraṇyakaśipu was dead, for they could easily think of the Lord. They could then receive the results of sacrifices and become happy even though in the material world.

      This is the answer:

      “Because the demoniac king Hiraṇyakaśipu was most fearsome, our hearts, which are Your permanent abode, were all overtaken by him.”

      “Because the government in Kali-yuga is full of demons, the living conditions of devotees are always disturbed.”

      “The hearts of the demigods are always filled with fear of the demons, and therefore they cannot think of the Supreme Personality of Godhead”

      “The demigods fully absorb themselves in meditation upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead to become perfect yogīs, but because of the presence of demons, their hearts are filled with the activities of the demons. Thus their hearts, which are meant to be the abode of the Supreme Lord, are practically occupied by the demons.”

      Śrīla Prabhupāda gives such good explanations.

      Here is an interview with Dr. Frazer and Śrīla Prabhupāda where Śrīla Prabhupāda explains ‘bad thoughts’

      Dr. Frazer: What do you do when someone preoccupied with bad thoughts comes to you?

      Srila Prabhupada: When someone is absorbed in thoughts of Krishna, there is no scope for bad thoughts. You can think of only one subject matter at a time, so if you are absorbed twenty-four hours a day in thoughts of Krishna, then there is no question of bad thoughts.

      Dr. Frazer: If I understand you correctly, Krishna conscious people are cured of bad thoughts just by getting away from them—not by expressing the thoughts and getting away from them, but by not expressing the thoughts and getting away from them.

      Srila Prabhupada: The process is like this: a man comes to our society with bad thoughts, but by chanting, chanting, chanting, he becomes relieved of these bad thoughts.

      Dr. Frazer: He doesn’t talk about the bad thoughts to anyone?

      Srila Prabhupada: He may talk or not talk; it doesn’t matter. But the bad thoughts go away.

      Hiraṇyakaśipu is the personification of material desires. We are fighting the Boss.

      Is it easy? No.

      Do we have a choice? No.

      Śrīla Prabhupāda came to give us the weapons for exactly this fight and we are slowly winning.
