The covid-19 Crisis and Lockdown on Religious Freedom
Śrīla Prabhupāda: “at any moment governments may issue declarations to stop religious rituals.”
Canadian Pastor: Neither ‘fine’ nor ‘jail time’ will stop believers from in-person worship.
Pastor Tim Stephens and his church have been openly defying Alberta COVID rules which limit gathering sizes to 15 percent capacity, mandate mask-wearing, and proscribe social distancing.
CALGARY, Alberta, March 5, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian pastor who held in-person Sunday worship amid COVID restrictions said that “no amount of fine, no amount of jail time” will prevent him and his church from gathering. Previously, police had taken photos of his parishioners inside his church for allegedly breaking local COVID rules.
Stephens said that when you see a “free church,” you see “free people,” going on to say that without Jesus and his salvation, there will be a need for “more police because inside of our hearts is sin.”
“We’re self-governed according to the principles laid down in Scripture, we have a free society, free for Christian, free for non-Christian,” said Stephens. “We’ve seen that is going away in our society, as it’s not just the church, it’s our entire society that is coming under the grips of more, more tyranny, especially medical tyranny in this day in age.”
TEXT 6
na yaṣṭavyaṁ na dātavyaṁ
na hotavyaṁ dvijāḥ kvacit
iti nyavārayad dharmaṁ
bherī-ghoṣeṇa sarvaśaḥ
SYNONYMS: na—not; yaṣṭavyam—any sacrifices can be performed; na—not; dātavyam—any charity can be given; na—not; hotavyam—any clarified butter can be offered; dvijāḥ—O twice-born; kvacit—at any time; iti—thus; nyavārayat—he stopped; dharmam—the procedures of religious principles; bherī—of kettledrums; ghoṣeṇa—with the sound; sarvaśaḥ—everywhere.
TRANSLATION: All the twice-born [brāhmaṇas] were forbidden henceforward to perform any sacrifice, and they were also forbidden to give charity or offer clarified butter. Thus King Vena sounded kettledrums throughout the countryside. In other words, he stopped all kinds of religious rituals.
PURPORT: What was committed by King Vena many years ago is at present being carried out by atheistic governments all over the world. The world situation is so tense that at any moment governments may issue declarations to stop religious rituals. Eventually the world situation will become so degraded that it will be impossible for pious men to live on the planet. Therefore sane people should execute Kṛṣṇa consciousness very seriously, so that they can go back home, back to Godhead, without having to further suffer the miserable conditions predominant in this universe. (SB/4/14/6)
Prahlāda Mahārāja prays: “O my Lord, proprietor of all creation, You have now appeared in my house, desiring to protect this world. I am sure that You will kill all the armies that are moving all over the world under the leadership of politicians who are dressed as kṣatriya rulers but who are factually demons. They must be killed by You for the protection of the innocent public.” (BG/4/8)
The entire world is now full of many asuras in the guise of politicians, gurus, sādhus, yogīs and incarnations, and they are misleading the general public away from Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which can offer true benefit to human society.
At the present moment these rulers are so powerful that by hook or by crook they capture the highest posts in government and harass countless numbers of people on the plea of national security or some emergency. Then again, one asura defeats another asura, but the public continues to suffer. Therefore the entire world is in a precarious condition, and the only hope is this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement.
Because of such asuric fathers—that is, the ruling politicians—it is very difficult to press forward the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, but because Kṛṣṇa has now appeared in His holy name through this movement, we can hope that these asuric fathers will be annihilated and the kingdom of God established all over the world.
Kṛṣṇa appears in this world for two purposes, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām: [Bg. 4.8] to protect the innocent, religious devotees of the Lord and to annihilate all the uneducated, uncultured asuras, who unnecessarily bark like dogs and fight among themselves for political power. It is said, kali-kāle nāma-rūpe kṛṣṇa avatāra.
The Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is also an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa in the form of the holy name (nāma-rūpe). Every one of us who is actually afraid of the asuric rulers and politicians must welcome this incarnation of Kṛṣṇa: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Then we will surely be protected from the harassment of asuric rulers.

Closure of churches breaches human rights, government told as religious leaders launch legal action:
Anti-covid-19 measures in Germany, especially in Bavaria. Public worship services were banned for seven weeks, but have been permitted again since the 4th of May, 2020, under safeguards. By comparing state law and Catholic canon law, the article investigates whether church norms merely “react” to state norms or are independent of them. Do they correspond to them or even go beyond them in their content? The article also examines whether state orders violate religious freedom. To this end, the relevant case law in Germany is analyzed. Since church and state have coordinated their actions, believers find it more difficult to exercise religious freedom. » more here «

Ayurvedic medicine was suppressed in India during the British colonial rule.
In 1833 the East India Company closed and banned all Ayurvedic colleges.
For almost 100 years Ayurveda was known as ” the poor man’s medicine”
and practiced only in rural areas where ” modern medicine was too
expensive and unavailable”.
In the beginning of the 19th century, when Rockefeller discovered that they
could use oil to make pills they started a campaign against natural medicine
which is going on until today.

Unless there is collective leadership there will only be these simple posts and comments until all that we have is taken down and abandoned. We no longer have any TRUST in our own faith or in each other. Silence is how we answer. It is no surprise that these conditions are worsening. We cannot even agree to perform 24/7 Hari Nam kirtans on the net. How easy that would be for now. We are waiting for Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya to rescue us from the New World religion. So prepare the best way you can and be ready to lay down your lives for Krsna or for the new religion of COVID. You decide.
The religion of Covid
credit to John Hayward (@Doc_0):
Every crisis becomes a religion if it lasts long enough.
One factor in that transformation is the Beautiful Theory phenomenon: the power elite insists its remedies are logical and politically correct so they must work, even if the actual evidence shows they obviously don’t.
When Beautiful Theories crash into hard, cold reality and shatter, faith is the glue used by the elites to put their precious ideas back together. They need militant faith to get the job done: true believers eager to crush doubt and compel obedience by making war on the infidels.
Some are swept into the faith because they desperately crave a sense of control over the crisis. They need to believe Something Can Be Done, and they’d rather invest their faith in debunked Beautiful Theories than have no faith at all. Faith is a coin that demands to be spent.
Some crave social approval, and the purveyors of Beautiful Theories have immense political, economic, and cultural power to make their faith seem fashionable. Virtue signaling is such a plague in modern society because the signals are pre-packaged and made very easy to send.
Some aren’t even hoping they can assert control over a crisis by converting to its religion. They’ll settle for just having some meaning, some simplicity, a sense that the righteous will fare better than the unbelievers, that virtue will be rewarded while sin is punished.
That’s a very common impulse with the Church of Covid, since the Beautiful Theories were so very obviously wrong. There isn’t much left of the faith except the visceral communal satisfaction of hoping unbelievers will be punished for their blasphemies with sickness and death.
That sort of thing happens with all of the crisis religions, although not usually as quickly and obviously as with the Church of Covid. Look at the endless stream of movies about how the world became an apocalyptic hellscape because people didn’t believe in global warming.
The last resort of every crisis religion, the last thing that puts asses in the pews, is that addiction to misery porn, the collective hope that unbelievers will suffer someday, and everyone will admit the True Faith was right all along as Judgment Day crashes down upon them.
The elite will never have the humility to admit they were wrong, and they’ll never give up on politically or financially profitable “solutions” even when they obviously don’t solve the problem. Founding a crisis religion means they never have to say they’re sorry.
That applies to some very longstanding crises, like the War on Poverty, whose nostrums long ago transformed into fantastically expensive articles of religious faith even as mountains of data accumulated that proved they were utter failures, and often made the problems worse.
You can look for some telltale signs of a crisis transforming into a religion. The most obvious one is when the high priests tell you the “war” you’ve been drafted into will never end. They become very angry when asked to define success or failure, or lay out exit strategies.
Watch for the moment when you’re told “science” means not asking questions, defying dogma, or challenging “consensus.” That is the literal definition of faith, not science.
Always keep an eye out for Moving Goalposts, which are the signature miracle of crisis religions, their version of parting the waters or loaves and fishes. Crisis religions work very hard to make their faith unfalsifiable by constantly changing the standards of evidence.
Check to see if certain people are accumulating huge amounts of money and power from a crisis. That’s a pretty good sign it’s turning into a religion. A crisis should be solved as quickly and efficiently as possible. Don’t let it fester long enough to become a special interest.
Above all, look for the whiff of arrogance to develop around a crisis. Wise religions and effective crisis managers have something in common: a sense of humility. Crisis religions are militant faiths that quickly become arrogant, smug, and totalitarian.
Dedicated people who truly want to solve a problem will look for evidence their analysis is wrong, or their policies aren’t working, and make adjustments as quickly as possible, no matter the cost or embarrassment to themselves. This is humility.
Crisis religions are arrogant. They reject criticism, insist their Beautiful Theories must be right because they’re ideologically pure – they fit snugly into a worldview that must not be challenged. Their plans only fail because their commands were disobeyed or sabotaged.
The high priests of a crisis religion see devils everywhere, leering at them from the rubble of every failure. Only sin can explain why their Beautiful Theories are tarnished. Failure is never their fault, so it must be yours. They find your lack of faith disturbing.
And you know what? A lot of people want to see the world that way, including a great many self-described atheists. They hunger for the comfort of faith and the vibrant energy of militancy. They want to be right, and they want the wrong to suffer for their folly.
Conservatives think religious faith in the State is terrifying and wonder why so many embrace it. It’s because uncertainty is much more frightening. A simple false story is better than a complex true one, and with enough faith, maybe we can force the simple story to be true. # #covid-19
” ……………. A simple false story is better than a complex true one, and with enough faith, maybe we can force the simple story to be true. # #covid-19 ”
NO doubt . A simple false story becomes better and effective ONLY when it is repeated over and over and over thousands of times through all kinds of media communications relaying the false narratives 24/7 not only to the Conservatives but to the massive all kinds of people in general regardless of their religious faith world wide than any factual simple TRUE ONE, without any complexity, is told AS IT IS by the sincere people because it is never relayed on the mass media.
As the saying goes ” TRUTH ALWAYS HURTS “.
THEREFORE, We have ONLY TRUST in ourselves because we have the faith in the guidance of our Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada’s VANI and share the same with the like minded people to make our respective lives sublime as per the resources and capabilities of the Individually and collectively available at our disposal.
By the way, it would be nice after all to hear a PLAN of ACTION from any body including Charles Dowson what he has to suggest with regard to this ;
” Silence is how we answer. It is no surprise that these conditions are worsening. We cannot even agree to perform 24/7 Hari Nam kirtans on the net. How easy that would be for now. We are waiting for Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya to rescue us from the New World religion. So prepare the best way you can and be ready to lay down your lives for Krsna or for the new religion of COVID. ”

Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The COVID Religions new guru.
Simon & Schuster is publishing a new children’s book that will celebrate the life of Dr. Anthony Fauci by chronicling his Brooklyn upbringing and tracing his medical career to become “America’s doctor.”Are you frightened yet?
Covid 19 does not exist? It has NEVER been isolated. No samples of Covid 19 have been identified (or can be provided) by the CDC. Here’s the proof below.
All of the fake Gooroos and GBC promoters of this “vaccine” have by Lord Krishna’s arrangement condemned themselves to early onset disease, comorbidity, and early death by promoting and assisting the NWO demons (and being foolish enough to take the shot themselves (which is not actually a vaccine at all!) for a condition that doesn’t exist! This shot, we now know will cause the body to break down probably over the next few months or several years.
deagle.com a military statistics website, which mainstream government departments get their info from has the USA population in the year 2025 (less than 4 years away!) at 99 million (so what has happened to the other 232 (or so) millions? If you have taken this experimental Mrna shot you will most likely be dead in the next few years!

Go to stateofthenation.co
Maybe a little hard to find….so go to website stateofthenation.co and just type in…. Credentialed Scientists….and article will pop up on the page.
Many other great articles (especially on this topic!) on this site daily!
In such articles by fake FISKCON book changer Jaya Israel and devotee murderer (and pedophile worshipper) Rottenatha on “Dandaheads” and “FISKCON Fake News”. Articles like “Why getting the Covid19 “vax” was the best choice for me” are getting sucked in BIG TIME! These foolish persons falsely claiming to be gurus are too stupid to understand that they are now the subjects of extermination by lethal injection,,,,,,,,for a “virus” THAT DOES NOT EXIST! To further the plans (explained in great detail by them) to DE POPULATE THE PLANET OF IT’S HUMAN INHABITANTS.
.
So it seems by Lord Krishnas’ arrangement these demons want to convince us that ‘killing themselves by lethal injection’ is the right thing to do?
Well let’s just give them a ’round of applause!’
