Guest guest Posted November 12, 1997 Report Share Posted November 12, 1997 Poison Srila Prabhupada? Wasn't Prahlada fed poison? ISKCON is supposed to be SP's body. A case could be made that it acts as sluggish as a poisoned person would, but to think that SP could be poisoned misses the point of his life. The question is not if he was poisoned then, but is he being fed poison now. IMHO, he is. Definition of blood milk - milk produced from a cow where the calf is born to be slaughtered, or born in a situation where there is no land base adequate to support it and no endowment fund to assure it's maintanence for it's lifetime, hence the real possibility of neglect and abuse(this includes most ISKCON farms). Everytime SP is offered blood milk, he is poisoned. Vedic culture is based on the land and the cow. Krsna was a cowherd boy. To ignore these basic facts and just use the philosophy to justify so many urban style projects and complacent lifestyles without performing the austerity of connecting with the earth is simply sahajaya, IMHO. The most direct connection is through what we eat. If the idea is that you can simply eat anything regardless of the process of production, and purify it first by offering it to SP, then you are really viewing him as merely some convenient karma filter. By not performing the sacrifice of protecting cows( which is about 5 times as costly as buying milk in the market) and still wanting to satisfy the tongue, you are poisoning SP with the blood that is shed through slaughter and neglect to give you the milk you drink. If you offer blood milk to Srila Prabhupada, YOU, not just some self serving ambitious bureaucrat 20 years ago, are guilty of poisoning him.
