Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 >very interesting, what did S.Prabhupada say about >Mohamed? I've been under the illusion that he was >shakti avesha avatara. No illusion this is correct--but its HOW Muhammed's words and the Koran their scripture has been TWISTED by fanatics --just like what Jayad.. swami has TWISTED Bhagavad-gita--and the criminal demoniac mind leads to the MOST dangerous situation. In the rape of ISKCON the "gurus" murdered/poisoned Srila Prabhupada, changed his books, destroyed/spliced his tapes, altered his teachings, Key men( temple presidents etc) awarded themselves high salaries, brought in more voted in so called "gurus"( thugs/animals) and banned devotees. Afganistan repeat? Terrorism is not only confined to Islam. These brutes are still there in ISKCON--and they are chocking it --original Srila Prabhupada books are not going out. Devotees spiritual lives are wrecked. They are coerced to worship an animal gunda so-called guru instead of the *actual* initiating guru Srila Prabhupada. 661231CC.NY Lectures Now, so far our experience is concerned, Lord Caitanya says there are innumerable. So how we can accept a avatara, a saktyavesa avatara, whose names are not mentioned herein? Then we have to... As in the beginning, Lord Caitanya says that by the symptoms we can understand that He is saktyavesa. By the symptoms and activities and influence. So what is that symptom? Symptom is that eternal and temporary. So avatara, incarnation, comes to glorify the eternal existence of the Supreme Lord. So any avatara, any incarnation, he comes to glorify that "There is spiritual kingdom, there is God, and I have come to reclaim you to back to Godhead, back to home." This is the symptom. So therefore, by that symptom, we accept Lord Jesus Christ as saktyavesa avatara, or Hazrat Muhammad, he's also. Because these two religious leaders of the world, they preached about the glorification of the Supreme Lord. And they sacrificed everything for preaching the glories of the Lord. Therefore... And their influence and their followers, there are... These are the symptoms by which we can understand that Jesus Christ and Hazrat Muhammad was, were saktyavesa avataras. 740604rc.gen Conversations Prabhupada: Buddha is saktyavesa-avatara. We accept Lord Jesus Christ also, saktyavesa-avatara; Mohammed, saktyavesa-avatara. Saktyavesa-avatara means a living entity especially empowered and he preaches the philosophy on behalf... That is called saktyavesa-avatara. There are different types of avataras. Gunavatara, manvantaravatara, yugavatara, lilavatara, saktyavesavatara, like that. They are described in the Caitanya-caritamrta. About avataras. You find out Teachings of Lord Caitanya, avataras. Innumerable avataras. Come here. Find out this chapter. Avatara sankhyeyah. It is compared, just like in the river, the waves are flowing. You cannot count, or in the... What is that? Avatara. Read, read that chapter. Adi 17.168 The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His Youth In our practical preaching work we meet many Christians who talk about statements of the Bible. When we question whether God is limited or unlimited, Christian priests say that God is unlimited. But when we question why the unlimited God should have only one son and not unlimited sons, they are unable to answer. Similarly, from a scientific point of view, the answers of the Old Testament, New Testament and Koran to many questions have changed. But a sastra cannot change at a person's whim. All sastras must be free from the four defects of human nature. The statements of sastras must be correct for all time. Adi 17.169 The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His Youth The sastras of the yavanas, or meat-eaters, are not eternal scriptures. They have been fashioned recently, and sometimes they contradict one another. The scriptures of the yavanas are three: the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. Their compilation has a history; they are not eternal like the Vedic knowledge. Therefore although they have their arguments and reasonings, they are not very sound and transcendental. As such, modern people advanced in science and philosophy deem these scriptures unacceptable. Adi 17.169 The Pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His Youth Because the soul is within the body, the body changes through so many forms. There is a soul within the body of every living entity, whether animal, tree, bird or human being, and the soul is transmigrating from one type of body to another. When the scriptures of the yavanas--namely, the Old Testament, New Testament and Koran--cannot properly answer inquisitive followers, naturally those advanced in scientific knowledge and philosophy lose faith in such scriptures. 740420mw.hyd Conversations Pancadravida: These Bible and Koran, how did they get here? They were just inventions or what? Prabhupada: Convention means they are partially good for the time being, that's all. They are not eternally... Just like in the Bible it is said, "Thou shalt not kill." (chuckles) But this is not, does not come within the category of eternal religion. People were so corrupted that they were forbidden, "No, don't do this.Thou shalt not covet," a little moral instruction. That also, they could not follow. There is no religion. And little God consciousness, "There is God, kingdom of God," little idea for the persons who could understand. Otherwise, do you think that if somebody says, "Thou shalt not kill," is that any religious principle? It is ordinary thing. Where is the question of God? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ **Unauthorised changes to Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-Gita made by Jayadwaita swami** Note: spot the difference between the old version and the new. Here he has inserted **souls** and **they** Bg 4.34 (new version by Jayadwaita swami) Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized **souls** can impart knowledge unto you because **they** have seen the truth. Note: here he has ADDED a text which was NEVER there in the original. **Nor by independent study of books of knowledge can one progress in spiritual life.** PURPORT Bg 4.34 (new version by Jayadwaita swami) The Bhagavatam (6.3.19) says dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam: the path of religion is directly enunciated by the Lord. Therefore, mental speculation or dry arguments cannot help lead one to the right path. **Nor by independent study of books of knowledge can one progress in spiritual life.** One has to approach a bona fide spiritual master to receive the knowledge. Bg 4.34 ( Srila Prabhupada's Original untampered version) Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized **soul**can impart knowledge unto you because **he** has seen the truth. PURPORT The Bhagavatam (6.3.19) says, dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam--the path of religion is directly enunciated by the Lord. Therefore, mental speculation or dry arguments cannot help one progress in spiritual life. One has to approach a bona fide spiritual master to receive the knowledge. The changes made are **very significant** because they change the **entire** meaning of the text. Diksa (transcendental Knowledge) is imparted by one self-realized person--the acarya (Srila Prabhupada) It is **one singular** person uttama-adhikari( Srila Prabhupada) that transmits diksa (see antya 4.192-4.194) into the madhyama-adhikaris heart. Krishna's pastimes reflected in the heart of Prabhupada are transmitted (televised) in the Madhyama-adhikari's heart when he chants offenselessly ---this is transcendental knowledge(diksa). Therefore the plural words "The self-realized **souls** can impart knowledge unto you because **they** have seen the truth" are totally incorrect. The clever manipulation OF WORD JUGGLERY "they" means Jayadwaita swami wants to IMPOSE a new breed of so called INITIATING gurus in ISKCON-in spite of Srila Prabhupada's clear instruction of July 9 1977 letter to the society of order to institute a Ritvik system (which incidently was NEVER revoked by Srila Prabhupada). The bogus initiating gunda "guru" brutes dismentled Srila Prabhupada's system. Adi 1.35 A devotee **must** have only **one initiating spiritual master** because in the scriptures acceptance of more than one is always forbidden. Next change, the ADDED text in the purport. **Nor by independent study of books of knowledge can one progress in spiritual life.** Srila Prabhupada's books are not ordinary books of knowledge. Therefore this change is totally meaningless and unjustified. This are** not** Prabhupada's words in the Bhagavad-Gita. Here it appears Jayadwaita swami is trying to manipulate the devotees into searching for a "guru" of the concocted 2/3 majority votes. Is it not? Srila Prabhupada and his books are not different. Adi-lila 1-35 There is **no difference between the spiritual master's instructions and the spiritual master himself**. in his absence, therefore, his words of direction should be the pride of the disciple. Note: Srila Prabhupada's words of direction----Srimad-Bhagavatam there is no difference between Srila Prabhupada's Instruction and himself (the uttama-adhikari is powerful to give diksa from his books). SB 1.7.22 The spiritual master, **by his words**, can penetrate into the heart of the suffering person and **inject knowledge transcendental**, which alone can extinguish the fire of material existence. SB 2.9.8 the potency of transcendental sound is **never minimised** because the vibrator is **apparently absent**. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
