7/28/2019 Prabhupada, The Truth About My God-Brothers
1/226
Welcome to our program on envy.
When one chants or discusses thetr anscendental activit ies of the Lord, he
immediately becomes non-envious. In this
material wor ld everyone is envious of
everyone else, but by vibrat ing or
discussing the holy name of the Lord, one
becomes non-envi ous and devoid of
material hankering. Because of our envy
for the Supreme Personal ity of Godhead,
we have become envious of all other living
ent ities. When we are no l onger envious of
the Supreme Personal ity of Godhead, there
wil l be real peace, uni ty and f raterni ty in
human society

To envy another is to feel il l wi l l, jealousy,
or discontent at the person s possession ofsomething that one keenly desires to have
or achieve for oneself. Websters

In electronically
researching Srila Prabhupadas body of
work, his books, letters, conversati ons, and
lectures, it was interesti ng to f ind that the
word envy appears over two thousand
times. Primar ily envy is used to describe
pseudo devotees, who have not pur if ied
themselves by the devoti onal process as
directed by Rupa Goswami.

Once in 1974 in Calcutta when I sit ting
alone with Sr il a Prabhupada in his room, I
asked how long does it take to become
Kr ishna conscious. Sr ila Prabhupada
replied that at least one lifetime is requir ed,
although he also quoted examples from
Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya
Charit amri ta of great personali ties who
became delivered instantaneously, such as
Jagai and M adhai and A jamil a. Sril aPrabhupada fur ther explained that
deliverance is dependent upon purity of
heart and sincer ity. I f one chants H are
Kr ishna, and a change of heart does not
take place, Srila Prabhupada explained,
there is lit tl e use of chant ing.

As Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu declared
in his vital teachings, one can chant theholy name only with a humble state of
mind.I have witnessed so much discord andpolitics in our society of devotees andconclude that the cause is envy due toimpure heart. When harmony, love,
trust, and cooperation prevail, it isunderstood that these are the fruits ofpure Krishna consciousness. Such a stateof pure devotional service is achieved by
fully surrendering to guru and toKrishna.

When I started this movement, Iwanted to bring some men fromIndia. The problem was that inIndia the men who joined the
Gaudiya Math mission were not
very educated. So I declined tobring them in the Westerncountries and by the grace of
Krsna I was able to train the localmen. And thus gradually, things
became successful.

You have written to say in yourletter under reply that you wantto join first with me then talk
with Sripada Maharaja aboutcooperation otherwise yourjourney to this country may be
cancelled by him. I could notfollow the import of this
proposal. Do you think that
cooperation with me prior toyour joining me here is not
possible? Why this mentality. Isit my private business? Srila
Prabhupada wanted to constructsome temples in the Foreign
countries as preaching centres ofthe message of Srila Rupa
Raghunatha and I am trying todo this in this part of the world.

Unfortunately the present workersin the Bombay Gaudiya Math are
not at all competent to do anytangible work. They are staying
there for the last 35 years, butthey have not done any appreciable
work. it is simply a place`khabadavar addakhama.'' SrilaPrabhupada used this word manytimes in connection with inactive
centers. And when one was toomuch engaged in buildings, He
always warned that our business isnot for becoming mason workers,or becoming carpenters, neither to
create a place for eating and
sleeping. So these people arecollecting funds and eating andsleeping. The reason is that they
deviated from the disciplicsuccession from Srila Prabhupada.

Regarding the 92 section caseagainst the Gaudiya Math, I

the Baghbazar party and
Mayapur party have unlawfullyusurped the missionaryinstitution of Srila Prabhupada,and whenever they will talk of acompromise, it means another
complication.

Gaudiya Math does not sell ourbooks, why we should sell their
books. Who has introduced thesebooks? Let me know. Thesebooks should not at all be
circulated in our Society. BhaktiVilas Tirtha is very much
antagonistic to our society andhe has no clear conception of
devotional service. He iscontaminated. Anyway,

Purusottam goswami about hisdeal with the late Puri Goswamiof the Gaudiya Math. If the
mystery of his acquiring 50,000rupees of books from Puri isexposed then his so called

Regarding, Bon Maharaja, I amactually authority accepted by
authority. In the Caitanya
Caritamrta it is said, krsna saktivina nahe nama pracar. So, nowthe Hare Krishna movement is
world known, and learnedscholars, etc. give plaudits to meas Professor Judah has. So, then
why I am not authority? Nobodysays Bon Swami has done it, or
Vivekananda, or any otherswami. There are so many yogisand swamis coming, but nobodyis giving credit to them, they are
giving the credit to me. So, why Iam not an authority? If Krishnaaccepts me as authority, then
who can deny it?

Besides that, in 1933, Bon wasgiven the first chance to preach
Lord Caitanya's movement inLondon. He remained thereabout four years and not a single
person could be converted tobecome a Vaisnava and he wasreceiving regularly 700rs. per
month for his expenditure, beingsupported by the whole GaudiyaMath institution, and still, as he
could not do anythingappreciable, he was called backby Guru Maharaja. Then where
is his authority? Our authoritycomes from Parampara system. Ifthe Guru was not satisfied withhim and called him back, and
since then,

He gave up connection withGaudiya Math and started his
own institution, then how hebecomes authority? And in spiteof all these things, if he is still
authority by his own imagination,then people should ask him whathe has been doing for the last 40
years, about the objective ofGaudiya Vaisnavism. Even if hethinks that he has done, certainlyhe has not done better than me.
Under the circumstances,accepting him as an authority, I
am greater and better authoritythan him. So, all Vaisnavas areauthorities to preach Krishna
Consciousness, but still, there aredegrees of authorities.

On the whole, if his motive is tosupress me and that is why hehas come here, how we canreceive him? He has alreadygiven one Professor a wrong
impression. He may be treated asa guest, if he comes to our
center, give him prasadam, honorhim as an elder Vaisnava, but hecannot speak or lecture. If hewants to lecture, you can tell
him that there is already anotherspeaker scheduled. That's all.

Why is there this politics? Thisis not good. If politics come, then
the preaching will be stopped.That is the difficulty. As soon as
politics come, everything isspoiled. In the Gaudiya Math the
politics is still going on. MyGuru Maharaja left in 1936, andnow it is 1976, so after 40 yearsthe litigation is still going on. Do
not come to this.

purpose was how to occupy, howto take the whole property.

You are right about SridharaMaharaja's genuineness. But in
my opinion he is the best of thelot. He is my old friend, at least
he executes the regulativeprinciples of devotional service. I
do not wish to discuss aboutactivities of my Godbrothers but
it is a fact they have no life forpreaching work. All are satisfiedwith a place for residence in thename of a temple, they engagedisciples to get foodstuff by
transcendental devices and eatand sleep. They have no idea or
brain how to broadcast the cult ofSri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

My Guru Maharaja used tolament many times for this
reason and he thought if one manat least had understood the
principle of preaching then hismission would achieve success.In the latter days of my Guru
Maharaja he was very disgusted.Actually, he left this world
earlier, otherwise he would havecontinued to live for more years.Still he requested his disciples toform a strong Governing body
for preaching the cult ofCaitanya Mahaprabhu. He neverrecommended anyone to beacarya of the Gaudiya Math.
(Continued on next page)

(Continued from previous page)
But Sridhara Maharaja is
responsible for disobeying thisorder of Guru Maharaja, and heand others who are already deadunnecessarily thought that there
must be one acarya. If GuruMaharaja could have seen
someone who was qualified atthat time to be acarya he wouldhave mentioned. Because on thenight before he passed away hetalked of so many things, but
never mentioned an acarya. His
idea was acarya was not to benominated amongst the governingbody. He said openly you make aGBC and conduct the mission.
(Continued on next page)
7/28/2019 Prabhupada, The Truth About My God-Brothers

(Continued from previous page)
So his idea was amongst themembers of GBC who wouldcome out successful and self
effulgent acarya would beautomatically selected. So
Sridhara Maharaja and his twoassociate gentlemen
unauthorizedly selected oneacarya and later it proved afailure. The result is now
everyone is claiming to be acaryaeven though they may be kanisthaadhikari with no ability to preach.In some of the camps the acaryais being changed three times ayear. Therefore we may not
commit the same mistake in ourISKCON camp. Actually amongst
my Godbrothers no one isqualified to become acarya.

Although a pure devotee maycriticize those who obstruct the
Lords mission, such criticism isnever personally motivated nor isit ever based on enviousness. Anadvanced devotee of the Lord maychastise his followers or criticizethe demoniac, but only to carry
out the mission of the SupremeLord and never out of personalenmity or enviousness. For onewho completely gives up the
material concept of life there is nopossibility of entering again onto

are mentioned in theMahbhrata as mauala-ll.
These include the stories of the
destruction of the Yadu dynasty,Kas disappearance, His beingpierced by a hunters arrow, the
story of Kas being anincarnation of a piece of hair
(kea-avatra) as well as mahi-
haraa, the kidnapping of Kasqueens. Actually these are notfactual but are related for the
bewilderment of the asuras, whowant to prove that Ka is an
ordinary human being. They are
false in the sense that thesepastimes are not eternal, nor arethey transcendental or spiritual.

happy, I am unhappy; If I see youunhappy, I become happy. This isnature. I may say otherwise, butmaterial nature is, if one is putinto difficulty, then I becomevery happy, and if I am happy,
others become envious. This ismaterial pleasure. Whereasspiritual pleasure means that
when one sees Ka is happy, adevotees happy, the other

pleasure means if you are happy, I
