>hell,the Lord,in His incarnation as the sage Parasurama,uprooted those

>parts

>of the world at that time,and according to Mahabharat,the kings of Egypt

> Srimad Bgavatam canto 2 chapter 4 from the purport - -

> Kirata: A province of old Bharat -varsa mentioned in the Bhisma-parva of

>Mahabharat.

>1/ Pulinda: (Greeks) It is mentioned in the Mahabharat adi parva

>(174.38),

>viz., the inhabitants of the province of the name Pulinda. This country was

>conquered by Bhmasena & Sahadev. The Greeks are known as Pulindas,and it is

>mentioned in the Vana - parva of Mahabharat that the non - Vedic race of

>this part of the world would rule over rthe world. -(Roman Empire) - This

>Pulinda province was one of the provinces of Bharat,and the inhabitants

>were

>classified amongst the ksatriya kings . But later on ,due to their giving

>up

>the braminical culture ,they were mentioned as mlecchas (just as those who

>are not of the Islamic culture are called kafirs,& those who are not

>followers of the Christian culture are called heathens).

> 2/ Abhira : (condensed) This name also appears in Mahabharat. The

>modern Sind province formerly extended on the other side of the Arabian

>of the Abhuiras ,Muhammad Ghori conquered India.

> The ksatriyas were afraid of Parasurama & had hidden themselves in

>the

>Caucasian hilly regions later on became known as Abhiras ,& the place they

>inhabited was known as Abhiradesa. Previously they were under the rule of

>Maharaj Yudhisthra but later they gave up braminical culture.

> 3/ Yavanas : Yavana was the name of one of the sons of Maharaj Yayati

>who was given the part of the world known as Turkey to rule. Therefore the

>Turks are Yavanas due to being descendents of Maharaj Yavana.

>Mahabharata ( Drona - parva) Those who have stunted growth of hair on the

>world.

>Even those who constantly engage in sinful acts are all corigible to the

>standard of perfect human beings if they take shelter of the devotees of

>the

>Lord . Jesus Christ & Muhammed,two powerful devotees of the Lord,have done

>tremendous service on behalf of the Lord on the surface of the globe.

>Srila Prabhupadas purport continues- - - - - - -

> He points out that if world leaders take shelter of pure devotees

>then

>the whole atmosphere of a godless hellish world situation would change. He

>says that He set up the International Society for Krsna Conciousness for

>this purpose,but unfortunately the leaders of ISKCON are thenmselves so far

>unable to curb unjust & imoral leaders within their own institution,what to

>speak of going further..Perhaps with future generations more purity of

>purpose will take over & things may be rectified,but at present they are

>generally,(the GBC,) proving themselves unfit to oversee even their own

>organization properly. Consequently both people & animals suffer..
