SO THERE MAY BE SUCH THINGS |
So
Vaisnava, Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taught us that how we shall
preach this Krsna consciousness. Don't be disheartened because
the police is obstructing, because the people are complaining.
They will do that. Just like... Why this police and public? This
poor, innocent boy, five years old, because he was chanting, his
father became his enemy. His father, what to speak of others. So
it is such a thing. In any... You try to trace out the
history of the world, you'll find always persons who are
for Krsna or God, they have been persecuted. Lord Jesus
Christ was crucified, Haridasa Thakura was caned in twenty-two
market places, Prahlada Maharaja was tortured by his father. So
there may be such things. Of course, Krsna will protect
us. So don't be afraid. Don't be afraid if somebody
tortures us, somebody teases us. We must go on with
Krsna consciousness without any hesitation, and Krsna will give
us protect. If you are more tortured, then Krsna will appear as
Nrsimhadeva and give you all protection. You are all Prahlada,
representative of Prahlada. You keep your confidence in Krsna,
and He will give you protection, and go on chanting Hare Krsna.
Thank you very much.
(Srimad-Bhagavatam
Lecture 7.9.8 Seattle, October 21, 1968)
Note: So
here is another hint from Srila Prabhupada as early as 1968 that
he would be persecuted, tortured and teased.
The most
interesting thing to note is that Srila Prabhupada says " You
try to trace out the history of the world, you'll find always
persons who are for Krsna or God, they have been persecuted.
This is another very strong evidence to add to the already clear
cut evidence that Srila Prabhupada was tortured and poisoned to
death by his judas disciples. Historically Krsna Conscious
persons have always been persecuted, why would Srila Prabhupada
be an exception to this rule ?
Srila
Prabhupada has come to fulfill the desire and complete the work
of all the previous Acarya's. So because of this great service
he is doing he will be the number one target for the demons
to persecute.
"My
Guru Maharaja was attempted to be killed.....So preaching work
is always risky"
So this is
Nityananda. Nityananda-vamsa means one who takes the risk of
preaching work, he can claim Nityananda-vamsa. Not that
easy-going. The preaching work is not easy-going. There are so
many difficulties. All the big, big preachers... Sri
Ramanujacarya. His life was attempted to be killed. Why
Ramanujacarya? My Guru Maharaja was attempted to be killed.
Twenty-five thousand rupees were raised fund for bribing the
police officer. He told me personally. The Navadvipa, Navadvipa
Gosais, they wanted to kill him. So preaching work is always
risky.
(Srimad-Bhagavatam
Lecture 1.2.5 Vrndavana, October 16, 1972)
"Because
you are speaking of God, therefore we shall kill you." And
actually it actually happened. This is demonic.
Just like
in the Bible, the first injunction is "Thou shall not
kill." This means the people were, in those days, at least
people who were all around Christ, they were very much expert in
killing. Otherwise why he says first, "Thou shall not
kill"? So this injunction must be followed. Unfortunately
they first of all killed Jesus Christ: "You are speaking
'Thou shall not kill'? I shall kill you." Just see. This is
the position. "So what is my fault? You want to kill
me?" "Because you are speaking of God,
therefore we shall kill you." And actually it actually
happened. This is demonic.
So there are many other instances. Prahlada Maharaja, five years old boy, he was chanting Hare Krsna. His father did not like. "Why you are chanting Hare Krsna?" "Because Krsna is the Supreme Lord." "Krsna is Supreme Lord? I am Supreme Lord. You do not do this." So the boy would not give up. So the father was even prepared to kill a five year old boy. The fault was that he was chanting Hare Krsna. He was given poison. He was thrown into the fire. He was pulled from the hill. He was very powerful king, and whatever he ordered his servant carried out, but he was saved in all circumstances by Krsna. So this is demonic nature. They will simply try to suppress Krsna consciousness movement because these symptoms are there, na saucam napi cacaro na satyam tesu vidyate.
(Bhagavad-gita
Lecture 16.7 Hawaii, February 3, 1975)
Note: So the
those of demonic nature they will simply try to suppress Krsna
consciousness movement and they will try to kill Srila
Prabhupada in his Vapuh (form) and Vani (instructions, original
books) because he is speaking of God very LOUDLY (Brhat
Mrdanga - Transcendental Book Distribution).
"This
is the attitude of nondevotees toward devotees"
Hiranyakasipu
planned a campaign to kill Prahlada Maharaja. He would kill his
son by administering poison to him while he was eating,
by making him sit in boiling oil, or by throwing him under the
feet of an elephant while he was lying down. Thus
Hiranyakasipu decided to kill his innocent child, who was only
five years old, simply because the boy had become a devotee of
the Lord. This is the attitude of nondevotees toward devotees.
(S.B.
7.5.38)
Note: Srila
Prabhupada says there are many jealous persons in the dress
of Vaisnavas in this Krsna consciousness movement: There
are many jealous people in the dress of Vaisnavas in this Krsna
consciousness movement, and they should be completely neglected.
There is no need to serve a jealous person who is in the dress
of a Vaisnava. (Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya Lila 1.218) These
jealous people in the dress of Vaisnavas planned a campaign to
kill Srila Prabhupada. They would kill their Guru by
administering poison to him while he was eating or drinking and
change his transcendental books. Thus these judas disciples
decided to kill Srila Prabhupada, simply because he was a
devotee of the Lord. This is the attitude of jealous nondevotees
in the Krsna Consciousness Movement toward Srila Prabhupada.
