Hare Krsna Prabhus PAMHO
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
So this year I decided to give out Srila
Prabhupada Siddhanta books at NYC Ratha Yatra. I didnt get
a chance to take pics of the devotees with the books. So after the
parade I made my way to the washington square park where I decided to
hand out the books.
As I was handing out the book people were very inquisitive as to what
they are since most of them have never seen this book. Many of them took
it with a cheerful Hari Bol or Jaya Prabhupada.
After handing out quite a few, I gave a few to my father to hand out and
he came in contact with a very ignorant indian bodied so call devotee
asking him what organization he belongs to, my dad explained to him that
he was handing out these book on behalf of the Hare Krsna Society, then
the devotee said that these book are not authorized and what we a preaching
is nonsense and that he is going to find the president of the Brooklyn
temple and the police to come remove us. He kept demanding that my
dad tell him what organization he belongs to so my dad said you are no
police and you have no authority to ask me who I belong to, the so
called devotee said that we needed to get permission from the Brooklyn
temple to pass out books but not even 200 feet from us were a bunch
of christian handing out pamphlets and bibles and practically screaming
to everyone that we are going to hell and that only Christ can save us. So
this is what ISKCON has come to they do not want Srila Prabhupada's own
words but would allow fanatic Christians to preach and blaspheme Lord
Jagannatha.... what nonsense is this I guess its Kali Yuga for you.
But no matter I manage to distribute the entire case of Srila Prabhupada
Siddhantas to the lucky people who took it.
Also I bumped into Jaya Narayan Prabhu and we got to talking and we
exchanged contact information.
Overall it was a very good experience and people accepted the book and
hopefully they will understand the meaning behind it and reject the nonsense
that is going on in present day FISKCON.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!

Dear Nityananda Rama Prabhu,
Pamro agtHDG Srila Prabhupada!
I am always happy to hear of the bold preaching of the Prabhupadanugas.
I would recommend in the future you wait a little longer before bringing
out the amunition.
That way you can enjoy the spirit of the festival and go in like a needle
and out like a plow. Anyway, congratulations for having the courage to
stand up for your rights and especially Srila Prabhupada! All glories
your father also; great service!
Yea the fanantical Christains are always at LA Rath and the devotees don't
even try to stop them; because we all are supposed to have freedom of
speech. But when we try to distribute Pro-Prabhupada literature they grab
it and even rip it up and toss it in the trash. Can you imagine!?
Iskcon run by it's KGBC would not be allowed their tactics and mismanagement
if they were a government agency. They are like a dictatorship of the
KGBC with no respect for the pure devotees; the Prabhupadanugas.
I along with Kapindra Swami were also
involved in the making of the Prabhupada Sidhanta book. I disagreed
with some of the wording like someone should accept a guru 'like Srila
Prabhupada' instead of saying one should accept Srila Prabhupada. That
statement 'like Prabhupada' leaves the door open for devotees of other
gurus to say, "yes my guru is just like Srila Prabhupada." That defeats
the entire purpose of the booklet. But we are a stubborn group and it's
hard to satisfy everybody. Although I think words and phrases are important
my opinion there was not considered important.
Same thing with "The Final Order" I think it's over argumentitive and after
13 pages I had to put it down. But if it will help anyone take shelter of
Srila Prabhupada that's great and I support it. Whatever works!
Hoping this meets you well,
Your servant,
Gauridasa Pandita Dasa
