Prabhupada, Tokyo, January 28, 1975: […] So anyone who is simply exploiting the resources of nature, the so-called industrialist, others, they are taking all goods from Krishna. Now, suppose you are making some machine. In making machine, you want the iron. But have you produced the iron? Wherefrom you have got the iron?

Trivikrama: From the nature.

Prabhupada: From the mine. So who has created mine? Your father has created this mine, that you are taking this iron? That means you are thief. You are thief. The iron is not your property. The iron is there already. If it is already there, you must conclude it is somebody’s property. So you are taking it away without asking the proprietor. Then are you not thief? What is the meaning of stealing? If you take something without asking the proprietor, that is stealing. So the iron is there, you are taking from the mine iron. You may convert into various things. That is another thing. But the original iron, to whom it belongs? Krishna declares in the Bhagavad-gita, bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram: [Bg. 5.29] “I am the proprietor.” Full Lecture

    pamho agtACBSP,

    thank you for posting this article on the different natures connected to the citizens of martya-loka, the planet of the living dead. This article reminds me of the demoniac nature of all those betrayers of our beloved acharya HDG ACBSP in fiskcon. Vedic culture is the greatest treasure because a person can become maha purusa a great personality.

    But the 32 symbols of the maha purusa on the body must be there to become a genuine diksa guru as happens to SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR when HE was born, we can find someone with some of those symbols but it’s very rare to find someone who got all the 32 symbols of maha purusa on his body especially in this kalo sudra age society where the ugram karma activities are growing by destroying everything around us.

    Nobody can become a maha purusa without surrender to another maha purusa is true that the diksa vidhana process helps to get suddha nama faster but one has to make sure the diksa comes by a real maha purusa, the acharyas, otherwise it doesn’t work.

    By producing more ugra-karma, poisoned activites, actually this is what happens in fiskcon, sudras usurped the position of SRILA PRABHUPADA in iskcon BBT but all these deviants can’t escape punishment of Dharmaraja.

    Therefore we have created these GBC. So they should be very responsible men. Otherwise, they will be punished. They will be punished to become a sudra. Although Yamaraja is a GBC, but he made a little mistake. He was punished to become a sudra. So those who are GBC’s, they should be very, very careful to administer the business of ISKCON. Otherwise they will be punished. As the post is very great, similarly, the punishment is also very great. That is the difficulty. You can see from this example, Vidura. He was immediately punished.
