IRM'S
POISON PAPER:
FUTHER
CONTRADICTIONS

IRM: Further
Evidence - One final nail in the coffin of the idea that
Srila Prabhupada is himself revealing that he is being poisoned
is found in the following. After the last exchange Adri
Dharan das, who was present at the discussion, asked the
Kaviraja, whom Srila Prabhupada was supposedly revealing all
this to, what Srila Prabhupada had been referring to when he
spoke of poison. Even though in the previous conversation the
Kaviraja immediately jumps to the conclusion that Srila
Prabhupada was speaking of some malicious poisoning, he later
reveals to Adri Dharan that Srila Prabhupada was actually only
referring to the effects of poison having been administered via
bad medicine.
PSS:
"One final nail in the coffin of the idea (picture in the
mind or belief) that Srila Prabhupada is himself revealing that
he is being poisoned" Please forgive my offenses but this
doesn't sound like a very neutral approach. Earlier you say:
IRM: We must stress that this paper does not prove, nor even attempt to prove, that Srila Prabhupada was not poisoned. IRM: Our position is that there is not enough evidence present currently on which to form any conclusions, and therefore we shall reserve judgement until concrete evidence comes to light. However members are encouraged to participate in any neutral investigation of this issue, that will help uncover the full truth of the matter. PSS: What exactly is this neutral investigation. Is it the GBC one which you say you support ? IRM : Nor are we saying that the issue should not be investigated. The GBC themselves felt the available evidence was sufficient grounds on which to launch a detailed investigation. We fully support such an investigation. An
interesting point about this final nail (The kaviraja's
testimony to Adri Dharana dasa) Earlier the IRM had said
the views and opinions of others who were in the room with Srila
Prabhupada were of no relevance to them and that they were only
going to rely on what Srila Prabhupada himself said, rather than
what feelings or suspicions his words might invoke in devotees
minds and hearts. IRM: Our
only point here is that we must deal with facts rather than
feelings brought on, quite understandably, by this highly
charged subject. Thus we shall carefully look at what Srila
Prabhupada himself said, rather than what feelings or suspicions
his words might invoke in devotees minds and hearts. IRM: The purpose of this paper is to study the actual words of Srila Prabhupada only on the subject of his poisoning. Naturally, we can only rely on the actual words Srila Prabhupada spoke on this issue to determine whether he himself believed that he was deliberately poisoned. Thus the views and opinions of others who were in the room with Srila Prabhupada are of no relevance to us. PSS: It is not possible to seal a coffin with a bent nail. One needs long, strong, straight nails. Here they are: Prabhupada: This is our position. Gradually they will show Hare Krsna movement. In India also, although India's... They will want to crush down this movement. So this will be up to Him. Krsna or Krsna's movement, the same thing. And Krsna was attempted to be killed by Kamsa class of men and his company, the demons. So it will be there; it is already there. Don't be disappointed, because that is the meaning that it is successful. Krsna's favor is there, because Krsna and Krsna's movement is not different, nondiff..., identical. So as Krsna was attempted to be killed, many, many years before He appeared... At eighth child, if the mother produces child yearly, still ten years, eight years before His birth, the mother was to be attempted to be killed. So there may be attempt like that. And Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also.
