Before and after

Before and after, by Haripada dasa

Before means before Srila Prabhupada entered his lila samadhi, and after means after Srila Prabhupada entered his lila samadhi, I have the 23 DVDs of the ITV collection on Srila Prabhupada, there you see the devotees very happy and bright in Krishna consciousness, there Srila Prabhupada was the center and the founding Acharya and they were all very united to please Srila Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada's wish and Krishna's is that when Srila Prabhupada entered his lila samadhi, everything would continue Same as before, that is why Srila Prabhupada ordered his disciples to initiate on his behalf, and he would continue to be the center and the spiritual master of all, that is called Jagat guru, the guru of the whole universe.

Unfortunately Srila Prabhupada's disciples made changes to Srila Prabhupada's books and did not obey the order to initiate in his name, and in an artificial way that is by vows (Srila Prabhupada says in El Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya Lila, 1, 220, that the choice of a guru is not made by votes), they became gurus because they think that they are at the same level as Srila Prabhupada, when Srila Prabhupada's Gurudeva entered his lila samadhi a very similar thing happened, there is a letter that Srila Prabhupada sent him to Rupaguna explaining what happened, there Srila Prabhupada says that his Gurudeva openly said to create a GBC and to all work together, and if they see someone who is self-effulgent they have to accept him as my successor, they did not obey these orders and the result is that now they all claim to be Acharyas, although they may be adhikaris kanisthas with no ability to preach, therefore we may make the same mistake in our ISKCON. Actually, among my godbrothers no one is qualified to become an Acharya. So it is better not to mix with my godbrothers too intimately because instead of inspiring our students and disciples they can sometimes contaminate them. This attempt was previously made by them, especially Madhava Maharaja, Tirtha Maharaja and Bon Maharaja, but one way or another I saved the situation.

We accept that Srila Prabhupada is that self-effulgent person, but Gaudiya Matha does not recognize that, we do not mix with Gaudiya Matha. We do not mix with Srila Prabhupada's disciples who are betraying and offending Srila Prabhupada, they live in unconsciousness and that is the reason they do not want to obey Srila Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada, Krishna and everyone would like to For Iskcon to be led by people who obey and love Srila Prabhupada, it is always better to pray for others than to criticize, we pray to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that these people obey Srila Prabhupada and so we would all be together and happy and bright in the Krishna consciousness.

I have served in Iskcon 1984-2008, Krishna has distributed through me more than a quarter of a million books of Srila Prabhupada and from my collection I have given them more than 500,000 dollars, they have deceived me but I do not hold any grudge against them. They already have a bad enough misfortune to be as they are Now I feel happy and free in Krishna consciousness.
