At least maintain what I have given you!

AT LEAST MAINTAIN WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU

AT LEAST MAINTAIN WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU.

Aug 26 1975 letter
My Dear Jagannatha Suta das:

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated August 18, 1975 and have noted the contents. I have received the new issue of “Back to Godhead,” No. 9 and it is done so nicely. It is all very pleasing to me, and I thank you all for this service. The printing I think is actually better than the Japan printing. Long, long ago when I was alone I was thinking of printing like this, but there was no way to do it. Now you American boys and girls are helping me, so I thank you in this regard. I pray to Krishna for your continued enthusiasm in spreading Krishna consciousness.

The article on Marxism is very much appreciated. We can say all these big so-called philosophers are all simply mudhas. Perhaps I am the first to do it. Our philosophy is perfect, and we cannot be defeated by anyone. So it is up to you to learn it and be able to present it nicely. Now you have everything, respect, philosophy, money, temples, books, all these things I have given, but I am an old man and my notice is already there. Now it is up to you all how to manage it. If you cannot increase it, you should at least maintain what I have given you. You cannot accuse me that I have not given you anything. So it is a great responsibility you now have. (vrindaban/august/26/1975/jagannatha-suta)

I hope this meets you in good health.
Your ever well wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

TEMPLES MAY GO… BOOKS SHALL REMAIN

“Yes, I want that you give me that facility to write my books, but I can attend some meetings of important people and elites. You have taken the right view of the importance of my books. Books will always remain. That was the view of my Guru Maharaja, and I also have taken it. Therefore I started my movement with my books. And we shall be able to maintain everything with the sales of the books. The temples will be maintained by the book sales, and if there are no more temples, then the books shall remain.” (Hamsadutta, 11/8/73)

Our philosophy is perfect, and we cannot be defeated by anyone. So it is up to you to learn it and be able to present it nicely. Now you have everything, respect, philosophy, money, temples, books, all these things I have given, but I am an old man and my notice is already there. Now it is up to you all how to manage it. If you cannot increase it, you should at least maintain what I have given you. You cannot accuse me that I have not given you anything. So it is a great responsibility you now have

1972 Correspondence

I have given you everything, so read and speak from the books and so many new lights will come out. We have got so many books, so if we go on preaching from them for the next 1,000 years, there is enough stock.”

You mention you like to speak now very often, but the first business should be to preach to the devotees. It is better to maintain a devotee than to try to convince others to become devotees. It is the duty of the GBC to maintain the devotees, keep them in the highest standard of Krishna Consciousness, and give them all good instruction, and let them go out and preach for making more devotees. Your first job should be to make sure that every one of the devotees in your zone of management is reading regularly our literatures and discussing the subject matter seriously from different angles of seeing, and that they are somehow or other absorbing the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness philosophy. If they are fully educated in our philosophy and if they can get all of the knowledge and study it from every viewpoint, then very easily they will perform tapasya or renunciation and that will be their advancement in Krishna Consciousness. So first thing is to instruct all of your temple presidents and the other devotees to read daily, just as we have done in our morning class in Los Angeles. You may remember that we were reading one sloka each morning in Sanskrit and reciting it altogether and then discussing it thoroughly by seeing different new things. So you introduce this system and train the devotees first. Don’t be too much concerned for the time being with nondevotees, now we must fix-up what devotees we have got in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness, then we will succeed.

What good are many, many devotees if none of them are knowledgeable? You mentioned that you are not yet a very bold preacher, but you will become bold, if you have got sincerity. In the beginning also I could not speak. But Krishna is within you, and when you are serving Him sincerely He will give you courage, boldness, everything. We are not going to bluff anyone or cheat others, and we are delivering the message on behalf of the Supreme Lord, so we haven’t got anything to fear and we should be always mindful of our topmost position of occupation of life. To be the messenger of the king is practically as good as to be the king, so the king is the most exalted position. I act like a king because no one can defeat me, and similarly, you should take your responsibility very, very seriously as being the representative of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Who is God Himself, and always remember that you are one of the few men I have appointed to carry on my work throughout the world and your mission before you is huge. Therefore, always pray to Krishna to give you strength for accomplishing this mission by doing what I am doing. My first business is to give the devotees the proper knowledge and engage them in devotional service, so that is not very difficult task for you, I have given you everything, so read and speak from the books and so many new lights will come out. We have got so many books, so if we go on preaching from them for the next 1,000 years, there is enough stock. Just like we have spent one day discussing one sloka, so you introduce this system in all of the temples, and very quickly the devotees will make spiritual progress by getting knowledge.

Some Conclusions — So what to do in this current situation of no more bonafide iskcon temples?

Make your home a temple-that is the only solution at present, if you want to remain as a devotee. Now it has become basically- every man for himself, unfortunately. The chaos that was present before the appearance of Srila Prabhupada has now again returned. Srila Prabhupada wrote… “Now you have everything, respect, philosophy, money, temples, books, all these things I have given”. Unfortunately this is also gone and the only thing remaining is his Transcendental (original) books as he predicted.

PRABHUPADA’S ORIGINAL BOOKS

Comments

  1. Pamho agtacbsp, HDG ACBSP and HIS BOOKS are not ordinary things belonging to this ordinary material world. The proof is there also I mean from the person and the book BHAGAVATA we got the nectar of immortality stored still in that house THEY CREATED where the whole world can live in, SRILA PRABHUPADA GAVE US EVERYTHING so nobody can accuse Him of any fault of course is taking time before the whole world wake up by discovering the matchless gift HE gave to us with plenty of spiritual stocks for this godless world made by hoax ,the demons first got rid of the person BHAGAVATA then still trying to change the unchanged because have not brain anymore by keeping going against SRILA PRABHUPADA. Anyway agtacbsp ys haribol

  2. Pamho agtacbsp, HDG ACBSP sacrifice everything for the mission of SSGG including HIS life in physical saguna form for us because HE is a learned man who know HIS spiritual identity, we can saying we been super lucky by the causeless mercy of SCM to get the spiritual guide from a real Indian gentleman,HE is real in everything therefore this false world is not a safe place to live for a gentleman and whoever is following the perfect example of SRILA PRABHUPADA who predicted all these rubbish as proof that HE IS A REAL TRI KALA JNA as result of HIS purity in KC HE could see everything AS IT IS and therefore could predicted the robbery through the guru hoax etc…HE can still see what is going on in ISKCON and now in nirguna form HE can see even more i mean the day iskcon will come back to SSGG is already stored HE knows HE can see all this thing because HE is a pure devotee of SRIMADI RADHARANI is been predicted also when HE was still a child.agtacbsp ys haribol

  3. Pamho agtacbsp, we got so many dead people through the pandemic but all the demons of f-iskcon are still alive,of course there is anger to see all these insignificant demons still alive by working still against of the final order of SRILA PRABHUPADA by giving more problem to SSGG mission,we are still waiting for that serial killer sent by KRSNA to finish this constant robbery to our guru maharaj because they don’t deserve to live more for what they are still doing.agtacbsp ys haribol

  4. Pamho agtacbsp, I tell you why there’s anger to see them still alive because they give bad reputation to the real prabhupadanugas and everyone is thinking we are all the same in f-iskcon. Anyway I feel the justice will be done soon by taking back all the stolen temples of our guru maharaj ,nowadays 45 years gone and iskcon is still under siege by uncivilized citizens without any vaisnava background history but I can feel ISKCON will be back to SRILA PRABHUPADA in five years time with all the stink guru hoax dead anyway many of them are already old and still attached to their fake position until MRTYU MAHARAJ give them the last beat up by sending them to the most painful hell to get purification for all the trouble they still give to SSGG plus ourselves. Agtacbsp ys haribol

    Hasti Gopala dasa
    Yes. This must be presented. Presented to who? Those who do not know. There have been great strides made over the last ten years to present that which Srila Prabhupada has given us. It may appear that not much has been gained but that is because the waters have been muddied. Now is past the time to actually go outside to the cities and towns as much as possible for one on one with those who are suffering. Talk to them and teach them personally as much as possible. Lord Caitanya’s movement is just getting started.

    Sometime next year I predict that starting in the US we will see and hear more old-fashioned Hari Nam. Two clips from this year below. It is not that Srila Prabhupada is gone from our association so don’t be fooled by that impression here or that a great deal has been lost. NO!

  6. Prahlāda Mahārāja said: My Lord, it is Your Lordship who gave this Bali the very great opulence of the post of heavenly king, and now, today, it is You who have taken it all away. I think You have acted with equal beauty in both ways. Because his exalted position as King of heaven was putting him in the darkness of ignorance, You have done him a very merciful favor by taking away all his opulence.

    Material opulence is so bewildering that it makes even a learned, self-controlled man forget to search for the goal of self-realization. But the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, the Lord of the universe, can see everything by His will. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him.

    PURPORT
    The words ko vicaṣṭe gatim ātmano yathā indicate that when one is puffed up by the false prestige of possessing material opulence, he certainly neglects the goal of self-realization. This is the position of the modern world. Because of so-called scientific improvements in material opulence, people have entirely given up the path of self-realization. Practically no one is interested in God, one’s relationship with God or how one should act. Modern men have altogether forgotten such questions because they are mad for material possessions. IF THIS KIND OF CIVILIZATION CONTINUES, THE TIME WILL SOON COME when the Supreme Personality of Godhead will take away all the material opulences. Then people will come to their senses.

    Did Srila Prabhupada not also complain about being treated like a criminal at customs when he entered the US, show this, show that…?

    Within 100 years their plans of controlling humanity by deceit and/or force have failed. The people of China and Russia could not be controlled by raw force for a prolonged period of time. Only a small country, North Korea, like a strongly secured, private subdivision, which they build a impenetrable wall around, with brutal force and starvation remains their stronghold as a testing facility for all kinds of highly dangerous and toxic, devastating human and animal experiments. Otherwise their Fiat money is worthless and despite all so-called scientific efforts the reproduction of their own and of humanity could not be curtailed. More and more of their own kind are fighting over the shrinking cake. The glory days are over. The general population is not a good customer anymore. They don’t earn enough anymore. They have bought all that there is, cars, appliances, gadgets…now the cow is old and doesn’t give milk anymore, next stop butcher, so the plan. 100 years of exploitation have brought humanity to the brink of implosion. Good so, if people do not identify with their nations anymore and they voluntarily come to their senses. Good so if people cannot possess much anymore and they voluntarily come to their senses. Good so if people will not be preoccupied with working hard to earn for sense gratification and they voluntarily come to their senses.

    Not being preoccupied with materialistic/satanic ambitions, goals and deprived of physical association, they will gladly listen to messages of real devotees about a spiritual abode full of eternity, knowledge and bliss without a trace of material faults and shortcomings. Preaching will be easy and Lord Caitanya’s predictions will finally come true. What is 500 years, what is 50 years? It is a fraction of a moment of Lord Brahma looking sideways. Time is on the side of the righteous, it is a battle in the heart. Time is on the side of the one who is working to purify his heart from unwanted/satanic desires, from unwanted/satanic habits and who cultivates the desire to serve the Lord of the heart. What we see unfolding are the ripening of the fruits of lifetimes of activities of serving unwanted/satanic desires, the ripened fruits of lifetimes of cultivating unwanted/satanic habits destroying all good qualities of men. They are the ripe fruits of lifetimes of satanic activities which have destroyed all good qualities in the hearts of men. True religion is eternally seated in everyone’s heart and it can only be uncovered if people will develop a desire to listen. This listening process has been disturbed by the loud sounds and sights of materialistic/satanic/irreligious vested interests of a few to the disadvantage of the many. The battlefield is the heart and this battle can only be won by a purified heart when the living entity has started to come to it’s senses.

    • Sudarsana Das Vanacari says:

      Edward Slavsquat (the surname is amusing!) who is presented in your ‘link’ is actually an American ‘alternate media’ journalist, residing in Russia, who’s real name is Riley Wassaman! This is freely admitted on a recent video interview (22nd November 2022) with Regis Tremblay’s ‘Global Conversations’ Video Program called …’The Ones We Should Be Fighting Will Live On’

      Edward (Riley) does appear to be a well informed and honest fellow and the interview I have mentioned above is excellent. There is overwhelming evidence that the ‘fake pandemic’ is just one of the means whereby the demonic elites can tag, track, monitor, spy on, eves-drop, detain, record, delay, isolate, restrict, lock-down, intimidate and harass innocent individuals to accomplish their Satanic, dystopian goals.

      Previously I was under the impression that the Russian (Sputnik V Vax) was a Vector ‘shot’ in other words a ‘traditional vaccine’, but new evidence points to the fact that ‘IT IS THE SAME IF NOT WORSE THAN THE OTHER CLOT SHOTS!’ So this is just political theatrics! and blindsiding by Putin!
      Sputnik V (Gamalaya) was created with Astra Zeneca and is POISON!

      Putin’s association with the WHO means that he (like every other world leader) is willfully engaged in a GLOBAL MASS EXTERMINATION PROGRAM using the Ukraine conflict (a massive money laundering operation!) as a ‘smokescreen’ . Another Global Conversations interview with Valentina Kiseleva (September 16th 2022) confirms that “viruses” do NOT EXIST! and this worldwide scamdemic has all been orchestrated to ‘confine, restrict and murder’ the vast majority of the human populace through fear!
