It may be that the GBC are now reaping the fruits of their own secretiveness and disinformation and other excesses, but that is not an excuse for the wholesale destruction of all that Prabhupada worked for. JALAKARA DAS Jalakara das is a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada. He is the former Life Membership Director for Bhaktivedanta Manor in England and presently lives in Alachua, Florida. |
Your articles by David R Hooper (Deva Gaura Hari das)
are very authoritative and should do much to dispel any lingering doubts about
Srila Prabhupada being poisoned. The latest one about Dr McIrvine of Watford
General Hospital was particularly appropriate and enlightening.
When I was first invited to hear about the poison
theory I suggested that the blood tests performed at Watford General would be
illuminating, but my suggestion was dismissed out of hand. The poison theorists
attempt to show the jagat-guru as a helpless, frightened old man surrounded by
scheming plotters, instead of the self-effulgent acharya preaching right up to
his list moment in our sight. They are trying to make the facts fit the plot,
instead of the plot fitting the facts. Facts obviously have nothing to do with
their calculations. If the Big Lie is repeated often enough, people will believe
it.
The enemies of ISKCON will stop at nothing to destroy
Srila Prabhupada’s institution, and you can be sure that as the ritvik and
poison theories become discredited, they will dredge up something else. That
does not mean that our society does not have a lot of real GBC and guru reform
problems to tackle, but these transparent attempts to disintegrate our society
by any means possible must be resisted.
It may be that the GBC are now reaping the fruits of
their own secretiveness and disinformation and other excesses, but that is not
an excuse for the wholesale destruction of all that Prabhupada worked for.
In Africa, the Kenya government has a Swahili slogan
called Harambe, which means “Let us all pull together.” Of course, we
paraphrased it as “Hare Ram be.” This business of all of us pulling in
different directions is becoming tedious and destructive. It’s about time that
we all began to pull together. These have to come a point where the sins of the
past are acknowledged so they can be forgiven, and we move on. We cannot
continue to wallow in self-indulgent recrimination indefinitely. There has to be
a closure to all this. I hope it doesn’t take too long.
