The unique position of Srila Prabhupada
Question:
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Please accept my humble obeicances.
The position of Srila Prabhupada is so unique, there is no doubt about it. Without him we all would be drowning in deep and dark ignorance, but there is this kind of wicked spirit nowadays among some of the devotees, at least in Wrocław city that wants to lessen the position and merits of Srila Prabhupada, they openly state his being wrong etc. My question is: “How should we respond to such behaviour?” I mean, I don’t want to offend any of the devotees, but at the same time I can’t stand listening such things and knowing that others, especially newcomers, may come accross such statements, for such things one can even hear during a Sunday lecture.
Answer:
Dear Bhakta Pawel,
Please accept my prayers for your advancement in Krishna consciousness
Thank you for your letter
You are right when you say it is a “wicked spirit” on the part of those who try to lessen the position of Srila Prabhupada. My advise is that you should respond by strongly and loudly objecting, even if it means disrupting the whole class… even if it means that you may be physically thrown out of the temple… even if it means you may be killed. Yes it is better to die than to hear this most grave offense. By strongly objecting you will save yourself and other innocent devotees from being implicated in this most serious and sinful Vaisnava and Guru aparada. Don’t worry that they are chanting Hare Krsna longer then you are, it doesn’t matter. They have become RASCALS, and Krsna will be pleased when He sees that you are very serious to defend His most dear devotee Srila Prabhupada.
Yours sincerely,
Trivikrama Swami
