PRABHUPADA'S "CONTRADICTORY" STATEMENTS ABOUT HITLER RESOLVED |
The few statements Prabhupada made about Hitler being a demon were largely spoken to an audience that had fully accepted the lies they were told by the Jewish bankers after the end of the second world war. The real truth Prabhupada spoke of Hitler was totally different. In this article i hope to clear these apparent contradictions.
You say that there is some contradiction in the Bhagavad-gita, that is your defective understanding. The direct meaning of the 15th Chapter 7th verse is that every living entity is the eternal part and parcel of Krishna. How can you think of contradiction in the Bhagavad-gita? Krishna is not an ordinary human being. How can you think that Krishna is contradicting Himself in His own statements? It is your concoction. The jiva is jivatma and Krishna is paramatma. Where is the contradiction? Why do you manufacture "iva''? That is the defect of Mayavadi philosophy. They concoct ideas. [Srila Prabhupada Letter to: Sri K. Raghupati Rao, Calcutta 13 January, 1976] Therefore it is said, śrutayo vibhinnā. There are innumerable Vedic scriptures. So we cannot come to the conclusion what is right or wrong, because sometimes you will find contradiction from one... Of course, there is no contradiction, but because we are not advanced in knowledge, sometimes we will find contradiction. Just like in India there are two classes of transcendentalists: the impersonalist and the personalist. That is not contradiction. The Absolute Truth is both impersonal and personal, but somebody is stressing on the impersonal point of view and somebody is stressing on the personal point of view. [Prabhupada Pandal Lecture, Delhi, November 20, 1971] There can be no contradiction in the statements of Prabhupada about Hitler. Our lack of knowledge may make it appear that there is, but actually there are NO CONTRADICTIONS! This is the basis of the rest of my article.
So although the Supreme Lord is far, far away... Of course, He is not far, far away, but in our conception, in the material conception, because we cannot see... We are on a different planet. So by His energy He is not far away. Just like the sunlight, the sunshine, in the morning you find the sunshine is within your room, the sun is just within your room. It is actually. But still, the sun is 93,000,000 miles away from you. Similarly, in all circumstances we must understand that Krishna is, although far away from us, still, He is with us, within us. This is called knowledge. This is called knowledge. [Prabhupada from a Bhagavad-gita 4.20-24 New York, August 9, 1966] Krishna says that "I am expanded in My impersonal feature everywhere. But I am not there." It is very simple to understand. Just like the sunshine. The sunshine is expanded all over the universe. But if you are in the sunshine, you cannot say that "I am in the sun planet." No, that is not. Sun planet is 93,000,000's miles away. But the sunshine is not different from the sun. That is also fact. But still, you cannot say, because the sunshine has entered in your room, you cannot say that "I am in direct connection with the sun-god or the sun planet." No. This is called acintya-bhedabheda philosophy: "simultaneously, inconceivably, one and different." So everything is God. That is a fact. And still, everything is not God. That is also fact. So we have to understand this philosophy. [Prabhupada from a Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.6, Delhi, November 12, 1973] They are going to, trying to go to the moon planet but according to our calculation they have never gone to the moon planet. They have never gone because, we find in the sastras, the moon planet is situated 1,600,000 miles above the sun. And they calculate that 93,000,000's of miles the sun is situated. So 93,000,000 plus another 1,600,000 it becomes 95,000,000 miles. How one can go ninety-five millions of miles in four days? So according to our sastra, we cannot believe this statement. [Prabhupada from a Bhagavad-gita 3.27, Madras, January 1, 1976] So here we see a few examples of Prabhupada saying that the sun is 93 million miles from Earth. These are "truths" spoken according to audiences who had generally accepted the materialistic scientists vision of the universe. Prabhupada spoke these circumstantial "truths" about the Sun's position to support a particular point he was making. Yet when asked directly about the position of the Sun in relation to the Earth Prabhupada spoke FACTUAL TRUTH and not the "truth" according to time place and circumstance. Prabhupada: (in car) They have not gone to the moon planet. Paramahamsa: Really? Prabhupada: Yes. It is far, far away. Their calculation is wrong. They are going to a wrong planet. Paramahamsa: It must be the Rahu planet. Prabhupada: Yes, or something else. Not moon planet. Paramahamsa: How many... Prabhupada: It is above the sun planet. Paramahamsa: Moon planet is further? Prabhupada: Yes. Paramahamsa: Oh. Because they say that the moon planet is the closest planet to the earth. That is their calculation. And they say that it orbits around the earth, and then that the earth orbits the sun. Prabhupada: All wrong. What is the... According to them, what is the distance of sun planet? Paramahamsa: Sun planet is 93,000,000 miles. Ganesa: They say the moon planet is only 250,000 miles. Prabhupada: It is wrong thing. Paramahamsa: Is their calculation for the distance of the sun wrong also? Prabhupada: Yes. [Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, May 12, 1975, Perth] If one studies the fifth canto chapter twenty two of Srimad Bhagavatam one will find the actual distance of the Sun above the earth as 800,000 miles!
So just as Prabhupada spoke a circumstantial "truth" about the Sun, he spoke the same circumstantial "truths" about Hitler as follows: We have seen. There were so many asuras [demons] in this world. There were Lenin, there were Stalin, there were Hitler, there were Hiraṇyakaśipu. So many. But they could not survive. It is not possible. They'll be finished. [Prabhupada from a Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.8.20, Mayapura, September 30, 1974] After the second world war, due to the vigorous propaganda of the Jewish bankers the whole world was led to believe that Hitler was the greatest demon that ever lived or the devil incarnate. This was the deep seated consciousness of the large majority of the people in the world. It was to these very people that Prabhupada was introducing the science of Krishna Consciousness and therefore he spoke to them the circumstantial "truth" that their ears could bear to hear. The FACTUAL TRUTH of Hitler was spoken by Prabhupada as follows:
Paramahamsa: Adolf Hitler was vegetarian. Prabhupada: Eh? Paramahamsa: Adolf Hitler was vegetarian. Prabhupada: Who? Paramahamsa: Adolf Hitler. Svarupa Damodara: Hitler. Prabhupada: Ah. He was a good man. Paramahamsa: Oh! Prabhupada: Therefore he did not drop the atomic bomb. Paramahamsa: Yes I agree. Prabhupada: Your Truman dropped. Paramahamsa: Not my Truman. Prabhupada: Yes your Truman your president. Paramahamsa: I’m not American. Devotees: [laughter] Prabhupada: He hesitated; therefore I don’t believe that he killed so many Jews in concentration camps. Paramahamsa: But actually Hitler he was trying to invent the atom bomb, but the Americans invented it before before Tru.. The Americans invented it before the Nazis did. Prabhupada: No no the Americans stolen.. Svarüpa Damodara: The German Germans invented the atomic.. The Germans first.. Paramahamsa: [indistinct] they had the plan but they could not invent it. Prabhupada: No what they drop dropped in Japan that was German.. technology arrangement… [Prabhupada Morning Walk -- October 8, 1972, Berkeley]
So far, of course, I know that this nuclear weapon was already discovered by the German people and Hitler, it is said that he did not use it. Because he knew it that "If I throw this nuclear weapon there will be devastation." So from this point it can be considered that he had some human consideration. So he's advertised very adversely, but if it is a true fact, then how he could have this human consideration that he did not throw the nuclear weapon? And this was taken by the Americans and it was thrown in Japan. That is the history so far we know. [Prabhupada from a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture 1.7.19 Vrndavana, September 16, 1976]
Dr. Patel: Yes, sir, but it is said that the German scientist ran away to America because they were afraid of Hitler. If Hitler gets the secret of atom, he would bomb out the whole world. Prabhupāda: No, no. Hitler knew it. Dr. Patel: No. They were not able to be successful to... Prabhupāda: No, no. He knew it, everything, but he did not like to do it. He said. He said. He was gentleman. But these people are not gentlemen. He knew it perfectly well. He said that "I can smash the whole world, but I do not use that weapon." The Germans already discovered. But out of humanity they did not use it. And all the, your American, other countries, they have stolen from German ideas. [Prabhupada Morning Walk, November 20, 1975, Bombay] So Prabhupada is saying that Hitler was a gentleman but these people are not gentlemen. Who are these people??? They are the atheist communist Jewish bankers who are the real demoniac tyrants of the world!!!
Prabhupada: Ah, yes. So these English people, they were very expert in making propaganda. They killed Hitler by propaganda. I don't think Hitler was so bad man. What do you think? You are Englishman. (laughter) Hari-sauri: It's getting.... (laughs) Just from hearing you speak in the last few months I can understand that the whole history that I was ever presented in school is completely warped around to the way that the English saw it, especially the last two centuries, when the British empire was on the move. It's completely... [Prabhupada Room Conversation, June 17, 1976, Toronto]
Just like in Europe, that Hitler, he wanted supremacy over Europe, and he fought very valiantly. But at the end he became vanquished. Similarly, in the material world we have got so many desires and we want to fulfill it—and for which we work very hard. But at the end it becomes frustrated. That is the nature of the material world. [Prabhupada Lecture, London, September 14, 1969] Here we see Prabhupada describe Hitler as fighting very valiantly. Let's look at the dictionary definition of the word valiant: Full Definition of valiant 1. possessing or acting with bravery or boldness : courageous <valiant soldiers> 2. marked by, exhibiting, or carried out with courage or determination : heroic <valiant feats> Sounds just like the Lords description of a ksatriya [pious fighting warrior] in the Bhagavad-gita. Heroism, power, determination, resourcefulness, courage in battle, generosity, and leadership are the qualities of work for the kṣatriyas. [Bhagavad-gita As It Is (1972) 18.43] Prabhupada said Hitler fought very valiantly but was vanquished. Still we should also understand that his brave fight against the Jewish bankers and their demoniac red terror of communism has helped the sankirtana movement. Had Hitler not fought the bankers so bravely then the world would have been a different place and Prabhupada wouldn't have been able to come and preach Krishna Consciousness, just as he wasn't allowed to Preach in Russia. The world would have been totally under the control of atheistic communism. If Prabhupada's movement had more devotees like Sulocana dasa prabhu who had a brave heart like Hitler and actually fought against the Zionist agents in the Krishna Consciousness movement instead of surrendering blindly and ever so obediently to them, then perhaps we might now have a powerful Krishna Consciousness Preaching Movement with self-sufficient farm communities that could give real shelter to the suffering people of the world!
There are people who are very angry to hear the factual truth of Hitler and the lies of the Jewish Holocaust. Thus in their denial they project in mirror form their own hatred on to the truth givers. "You are Hilter lovers and Jew haters and are twisting Prabhupada's words and making him look the same." Actually they are Hitler haters, holocaust supporters and Jewish sympathizers. Or how else can they not accept the FACTUAL TRUTH THAT PRABHUPADA SPEAKS!!!
There are others who although accepting the factual truth that Prabhupada spoke about Hitler say that such truths should remain hidden and that they will only bring a bad name to Prabhupada and his movement. Actually these truths were never hidden! Prabhupada spoke these truths many many times and even in public lectures like in Vrndavana, September 16, 1976. The world has come a long way since the 1970s and the effects of Prabhupada's preaching and the preaching of his sincere followers has brought a light into the darkness of this world. This light is manifesting as an awakening in the innocent people to the manipulation that they are being subjected to at the hands of the demoniac Jewish bankers. The fake moon landing, 911, World War 2 and the holohoax and the truth about Hitler are now more widely understood. These people who are are receiving Prabhupada's mercy due to their non envious hearts are awakening to truth. They are the REAL FUTURE of Prabhupada's Krishna Consciousness Movement!!! These truth seekers see the current "ISKCON movement" for what it is. A completely controlled Zionist den of blasphemy and deceit. Now there is no organize movement to give a bad name to! All we have left is TRUTH. And if we cannot speak truth NOW we are lost and totally defeated and no truth seeker will take Prabhupada's message seriously!!! The TRUE Krishna Consciousness Movement is very interested in TRUTHFULNESS!!! Truth is one of the divine qualities that the Lord mentions in Bhagavad-gita that men need to develop to come to the spiritual platform. So it is time the world learns some real truths from Prabhupada directly in regards to the lies which the Jews [And Jewish Shills like Alex Jones] continue to propagate about Hitler and the first and second world wars. These lies have kept people as slaves for so many years. THESE TRUTHS WILL HELP THE INNOCENT PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BECOME FREE OF THE JEWS DEMONIAC INFLUENCE IN THEIR LIVES AND BRING THEM INTO THE LIGHT OF PRABHUPADA'S SANKIRTANA MOVEMENT!!!! Prabhupada speaks of truth as follows: "Satyam, truthfulness, means that facts should be presented as they are for the benefit of others. Facts should not be misrepresented. According to social conventions, it is said that one can speak the truth only when it is palatable to others. But that is not truthfulness. The truth should be spoken in a straight and forward way, so that others will understand actually what the facts are. If a man is a thief and if people are warned that he is a thief, that is truth. Although sometimes the truth is unpalatable, one should not refrain from speaking it. Truthfulness demands that the facts be presented as they are for the benefit of others. That is the definition of truth." [Bhagavad-gita As It Is (1972) 10.4-5] So we cannot refrain from speaking truth because some weak minded people who have had their consciousness deeply subverted by Zionist lies don't like to hear it. No we cannot compromise, TRUTH SHOULD ALWAYS BE SPOKEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL!!!!
I would highly recommend the following documentary called: Adolf Hitler - The Greatest story NEVER Told. It fully supports the FACTUAL TRUTH Prabhupada spoke about Hitler. Love Mukunda dasa. Hare Krishna. Jaya Prabhupada. |
