By uncovering the
secret
evils of 911, many people are gradually becoming aware of
the true nature of the worlds political leaders and those who
control them [the Illuminati]. The sinister nature of these men has been foretold
over 5,000 years ago by the ancient Vedic literatures and
revealed in the modern age by His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Our movement is an
epidemic. It will devour the whole of Europe and America. As for
the newspapers giving bad reports, they simply take some
opportunity for selling their newspaper; it has no lasting
value. These countries are faced with difficulty but it is
nature's law. They will be without food, water and they will be
heavily taxed. There will be revolution. How long can they keep
the people terrorized? It will burst. I can't imagine how
people are living in such a rotten state. There is nothing like
pleasure; all is morose. Only we are benedicting the fallen
souls all over the world, so go on with your enthusiastic
preaching and try to do good to others with Krsna Consciousness.
Hope this meets you in good health.
[Srila Prabhupada
Letter to: Harikesa, Bhubaneswar, 1 February, 1977]
Unless you become
a rogue
you cannot go to
the government.
Brahmananda: It is
difficult to come to that understanding, that actually, those
who are the leaders are not to be trusted.
Prabhupada: Yes, leaders means government men. That is
described. They are all thieves and rogues, anywhere.
Dasyu-dharmabhih. Dasyu. Dasyu means plunderers, rogues.
Unless you become a rogue you cannot go to the government. You
cannot... Any honest man cannot stay with these government men.
That is not possible at the present age. Any government.
Unless... Just like first-class rogue, your Nixon, he became the
president. Because he was a first-class rogue, he became the
president. So unless you are first-class rogue, you cannot stay
within the circle of government men. Rajanya dasyu-dharmabhih.
And their business will be to eat up the vital force of the
people. Bhaksayisyanti praja sarve rajanya dasyu-dharmabhih.
This is the statement. And people will be harassed. On account
of their godlessness, they will be harassed by three things:
famine, no rain, and taxation. Taxation by the government, and
there will be no rain, there will be famine, no food, and they
will be so much embarrassed that they will give up their family
and go away, gacchanti giri-kananam, will go, enter into
the hills and forest, giving up their hearth and home. This is
Kali-yuga. And this is due to their godlessness.
[Srila Prabhupada
Morning Walk, March 11, 1975, London]
The citizens will be
so oppressed by merciless rogues in
the guise of
rulers that they will give up their spouses
and property
and flee to the hills and forests.
Anyone who can get your votes by hook or crook can occupy the
post of leader. He may be rascal number one, but he will be
given the supreme, exalted presidential post. The Bhagavatam
describes these leaders in the next verse:
praja hi lubdhai rajanyair
nirghrnair dasyu-dharmabhih
acchinna-dara-dravina
yasyanti giri-kananam
"The citizens will be so oppressed by merciless rogues in the
guise of rulers that they will give up their spouses and
property and flee to the hills and forests." (Srimad-Bhagavatam
12.2.8) So, the men who acquire a government post by vote are
mostly lubdhai rajanyaih, greedy government men. Nirghrnair
dasyu: Their business is plundering the public. And we actually
see that every year the government men are exacting heavy taxes,
and whatever money is received they divide among themselves,
while the citizens' condition remains the same. Every government
is doing that. Gradually, all people will feel so much harassed
that acchinna-dara-dravinah: They will want to give up their
family life (their wife and their money) and go to the forest.
This we have also seen.
So, kaler dosa-nidhe rajan: The faults of this age are just like
an ocean. If you were put into the Pacific Ocean, you would not
know how to save your life. Even if you were a very expert
swimmer, it would not be possible for you to cross the Pacific
Ocean. Similarly, the Kali-yuga is described in the Bhagavatam
as an ocean of faults. It is infected with so many anomalies
that there seems to be no way out. But there is one medicine:
kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta-sangah param vrajet. The Bhagavatam
explains that if you chant the name of Krsna--the Hare Krsna
mantra--you will be relieved from the infection of this Kali-yuga.
[The Journey of Self
Discovery - Ancient Prophecies
Fulfilled]
"What you have got,
give me." This will be government.
"The government men will take up the policy of plunderers and
rogues," that is stated. Dasyu-dharma. Dasyu means plunderer. He
catches: "What you have got, give me." This will be government.
"What you have got, give me." Bas. You cannot say anything.
"Law." Plundering is law. Then where is your government? If
killing is law, plundering is law, then what is this government?
Government means to give security to the property and life. So
when the government will make law, "I can take your life
whenever I like, and I can plunder your property as I like,"
then where is the law?
[Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, March 13, 1976, Mayapur]
Shortcut of
"demon-cracy" is "democracy."
They have now
discovered this democracy. Democracy... "Demon-cracy." Shortcut
of "demon-cracy" is "democracy." All the demons and rogues, they
gather together, somehow or other votes, and occupy the seat,
and the business is plundering. The business is plundering. If
we talk very much upon this, it will not be very favorable, but
according to sastra... We, we talk according to sastra, that the
democracy means assembly of rogues and plunderers. That is the
statement in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Dasyu-dharmabhih. The
government men will be all dasyu. Dasyu means plunderer. Not
pickpocket. Pickpocket, somehow or other, if you do not
understand, takes something from your pocket, and the plunderer,
or the dasyu, he catches you and by force, "If you don't spare
your money, I shall kill you." They are called dasyu.
So the, in the present age of Kali, the government men will be
dasyu. This is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Dasyu-dharmabhih.
You can, we can see practically. You cannot keep your money. You
earn with hard labor, but you cannot keep gold, you cannot keep
jewelry, you cannot keep money. And... They will take it away by
laws. So they make law that... Yudhisthira Maharaja was just
quite opposite. He wanted to see that every citizen is so happy
that they are not troubled even by excessive heat and excessive
cold. Ati-vyadhi. They are not suffering from any disease, they
are not suffering from excessive climatic influence, eating very
nicely, and feeling security of person and property. That was
Yudhisthira Maharaja. Not only Yudhisthira Maharaja. Almost all
the kings, they were like that.
[Srila Prabhupada
from a Srimad-Bhagavatam lecture, 1.8.18 Mayapura, September 28,
1974]
In Kali-yuga
the heads of government
will be
plunderers and thieves
TRANSLATION: It is a
fact, however, that these innocent people carrying your
palanquin without payment are certainly suffering due to this
injustice. Their condition is very lamentable because you have
forcibly engaged them in carrying your palanquin. This proves
that you are cruel and unkind, yet due to false prestige you
were thinking that you were protecting the citizens. This is
ludicrous. You were such a fool that you could not have been
adored as a great man in an assembly of persons advanced in
knowledge.
PURPORT: King Rahugana was proud of being king, and he felt he
had the right to control the citizens as he liked, but actually
he was engaging men in carrying his palanquin without payment,
and therefore he was causing them trouble without reason.
Nonetheless, the King was thinking that he was the protector of
the citizens. Actually the king should be the representative of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For this reason he is called
nara-devata, the Lord among human beings. However, when a king
thinks that because he is the head of the state, he can utilize
the citizens for his sense gratification, he is in error. Such
an attitude is not appreciated by learned scholars. According to
the Vedic principles, the king should be advised by learned
sages, brahmanas and scholars, who advise him according to the
injunctions given in the dharma-sastra. The duty of the king is
to follow these instructions. Learned circles do not appreciate
the king's utilizing public endeavor for his own benefit. His
duty is to give protection to the citizens instead. The king
should not become such a rogue that he exploits the citizens for
his own benefit.
It is stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam that in Kali-yuga the heads of
government will be plunderers and thieves. These thieves and
plunderers take the money and property of the public by force or
connivance. Therefore it is said in Srimad-Bhagavatam, rajanyair
nirghrnair dasyu-dharmabhih. As Kali-yuga advances, we can see
that these characteristics are already visible. We can certainly
imagine how deteriorated human civilization will be by the end
of Kali-yuga. Indeed, there will no longer be a sane man capable
of understanding God and our relationship with Him. In other
words, human beings will be just like animals. At that time, in
order to reform human society, Lord Krsna will come in the form
of the Kalki avatara. His business will be to kill all the
atheists because ultimately the real protector is Visnu, or
Krsna.
The Lord incarnates and sets things in order when things are
mismanaged by so-called kings and heads of government. As Krsna
says in Bhagavad-gita, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati
bharata. Of course this takes many years, but the principle is
there. When the king or governmental head does not follow the
proper principles, nature deals out the punishments in the forms
of war, famine and so forth. Therefore if the governmental head
is not aware of life's goal, he should not take charge of ruling
the people. Actually the supreme proprietor of everything is
Lord Visnu. He is the maintainer of everyone. The king, the
father, and the guardian are simply representatives of Lord
Visnu, empowered by Him to look after the management and
maintain things. It is therefore the duty of the head of the
state to maintain the general populace in such a way that people
will ultimately know the goal of life. Na te viduh svartha-gatim
hi visnum. Unfortunately the foolish governmental head and the
general populace do not know that the ultimate goal of life is
to understand and approach Lord Visnu. Without this knowledge,
everyone is in ignorance, and all society is crowded with
cheaters and cheated.
[Srila Prabhupada from Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.12.7]
They will certainly
try to plunder the riches
of the
citizens without consideration
TRANSLATION: When the royal dynasty, being excessively proud
because of the material modes of passion and ignorance, became
irreligious and ceased to care for the laws enacted by the
brahmanas, Parasurama killed them. Although their offense was
not very severe, he killed them to lessen the burden of the
world.
PURPORT: The ksatriyas, or the ruling class, must govern the
world in accordance with the rules and regulations enacted by
great brahmanas and saintly persons. As soon as the ruling class
becomes irresponsible in regard to the religious principles, it
becomes a burden on the earth. As stated here, rajas-tamo-vrtam,
bharam abrahmanyam: when the ruling class is influenced by the
lower modes of nature, namely ignorance and passion, it becomes
a burden to the world and must then be annihilated by superior
power. We actually see from modern history that monarchies have
been abolished by various revolutions, but unfortunately the
monarchies have been abolished to establish the supremacy of
third-class and fourth-class men. Although monarchies
overpowered by the modes of passion and ignorance have been
abolished in the world, the inhabitants of the world are still
unhappy, for although the qualities of the former monarchs were
degraded by taints of ignorance, these monarchs have been
replaced by men of the mercantile and worker classes whose
qualities are even more degraded. When the government is
actually guided by brahmanas, or God conscious men, then there
can be real happiness for the people. Therefore in previous
times, when the ruling class was degraded to the modes of
passion and ignorance, the brahmanas, headed by such a ksatriya-spirited
brahmana as Parasurama, killed them twenty-one consecutive
times.
In Kali-yuga, as stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.2.13),
dasyu-prayesu rajasu: the ruling class (rajanya) will be no
better than plunderers (dasyus) because the third-class and
fourth-class men will monopolize the affairs of the government.
Ignoring the religious principles and brahminical rules and
regulations, they will certainly try to plunder the riches of
the citizens without consideration. As stated elsewhere in
Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.1.40):
asamskrtah kriya-hina
rajasa tamasavrtah
prajas te bhaksayisyanti
mleccha rajanya-rupinah
Being unpurified, neglecting to discharge human duties properly,
and being influenced by the modes of passion (rajas) and
ignorance (tamas), unclean people (mlecchas), posing as members
of the government (rajanya-rupinah), will swallow the citizens (prajas
te bhaksayisyanti). And in still another place,
Srimad-Bhagavatam (12.2.7-8) says:
evam prajabhir dustabhir
akirne ksiti-mandale
brahma-vit-ksatra-sudranam
yo bali bhavita nrpah
praja hi lubdhai rajanyair
nirghrnair dasyu-dharmabhih
acchinna-dara-dravina
yasyanti giri-kananam
Human society is naturally grouped into four divisions, as
stated in Bhagavad-gita (catur-varnyam maya srstam
guna-karma-vibhagasah). But if this system is neglected and the
qualities and divisions of society are not considered, the
result will be brahma-vit-ksatra-sudranam yo bali bhavita nrpah:
the so-called caste system of brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and
sudra will be meaningless. As a result, whoever somehow or other
becomes powerful will be the king or president, and thus the
prajas, or citizens, will be so harassed that they will give up
hearth and home and will go to the forest (yasyanti giri-kananam)
to escape harassment by government officials who have no mercy
and are addicted to the ways of plunderers. Therefore the prajas,
or the people in general, must take to the Krsna consciousness
movement, the Hare Krsna movement, which is the sound
incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kali-kale
nama-rupe krsna-avatara: Krsna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, has now appeared as an incarnation by His holy name.
Therefore, when the prajas become Krsna conscious, they can then
expect a good government and good society, a perfect life, and
liberation from the bondage of material existence.
[Srila Prabhupada from Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.15.15]
After death such demons are put into
the hell known as Sarameyadana
TRANSLATION: In this world, some persons are professional
plunderers who set fire to others' houses or administer poison
to them. Also, members of the royalty or government officials
sometimes plunder mercantile men by forcing them to pay income
tax and by other methods. After death such demons are put into
the hell known as Sarameyadana. On that planet there are 720
dogs with teeth as strong as thunderbolts. Under the orders of
the agents of Yamaraja, these dogs voraciously devour such
sinful people.
PURPORT: In the Twelfth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is said
that in this age of Kali everyone will be extremely disturbed by
three kinds of tribulations: scarcity of rain, famine, and heavy
taxation by the government. Because human beings are becoming
more and more sinful. there will be a scarcity of rain, and
naturally no food grains will be produced. On the plea of
relieving the suffering caused by the ensuing famine, the
government will impose heavy taxes, especially on the wealthy
mercantile community. In this verse, the members of such a
government are described as dasyu, thieves. Their main activity
will be to plunder the wealth of the people. Whether a highway
robber or a government thief, such a man will be punished in his
next life by being thrown into the hell known as Sarameyadana,
where he will suffer greatly from the bites of ferocious dogs.
[Srila Prabhupada from Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.26.27]
