WELCOME TO MY SITE
This website glorifies, explains and defends the teachings and activities of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
UPDATE
I had initially planned to work on one paper at a time. However due to various complex factors which evolved, I began to simultaneously work on four different papers. The 'Fallible' Purports has been released two days ago. The other three papers that I plan to sequentially release are:
1) Fallible Sadhakas And Infallible Acaryas
2) The Headlines Syndrome
3) Who Stole The Letters?

IN THE WORKS
In the last few months, my e-mail inbox has been flooded with mails of appreciation (437 unique mails, to be precise) about the two articles 'The Draupadi Incident' and 'The Real Dharmaraja' that I posted on this website. I also received 3 mails that were sarcastic. What prompts me to write this update are the frequent queries that I have been receiving from many of these appreciative devotees about what I plan to write next and when I intend to publish that.
The next article that I am working on is titled ' The 'Fallible' Purports' and this is a critique of a very irresponsible and grossly unintelligent statement in 'The Draupadi and Dharmarja Article' . If all goes well, by Srila Prabhupada's mercy, I am scheduled to publish this in the last week of May 2014. In the meanwhile, a revised version of the original 'The Draupadi and Dharmaraja Article' has appeared on the web. This rehashes the old assertions in a more veiled manner and makes at least one new absurd assertion. This revised version is not any less deviant or any less offensive than the original version. A rebuttal to that is on my priority list right after I finish 'The 'Fallible' Purports' article.

PUPPET OF THE PREDECESSOR ACARYA
We are all set of puppets of Krishna. I am also puppet. This is disciplic succession. We have to become puppet. As I am puppet of my Guru Maharaja, if you become my puppet, then that is success. Our success is there when we become puppet of the predecessor. Tandera carana sevi bhakta sane vasa. To live in the society of devotees and to become puppet of the predecessor acarya. This is success. So we are trying to do that. Krishna Consciousness society and serve the predecessor. Harer Nama Harer Nama... [Cc. Adi 17.21].

SRILA PRABHUPADA ON VAISHNAVA DRESS, KANTI, SIKHA AND CHANTING BEADS
Caitanya Mahaprabhu has taught us kirtaniyah sada harih [Cc. Adi 17.31].
Then preksaniya, "He is worth seeing." We are accustomed to see so many things. That is our bondage. Aksnoh phalam. If by the eyes you see the Deity, the Vaisnavas... The Vaisnavas, with tilaka, with kanti, with chanting beads, as soon as you see... And practically you know. As soon as they see these Hare Krishna movement people, they also chant, "Hare Krishna," giving a chance to the others. The dress is also required. You should be always equipped with tilaka, kanti, and sikha, sutra. Then, as soon as a common man sees, "Oh, here is a Hare Krishna man. Hare Krishna," he'll chant. Automatically you give a chance to chant Hare Krishna.
So this is required. The foolish rascals, they say that "What is the necessity of this, that?" No. This is necessity. You must always remain dressed like a Vaisnava. That is necessity. So preksaniya: "is very beautiful to see."

EAST MEETS WEST
Our Krsna consciousness movement is genuine, historically authorized, natural and transcendental due to its being based on Bhagavad-gita As It Is. It is gradually becoming the most popular movement in the entire world, especially amongst the younger generation. It is becoming more and more interesting to the older generation also. Older gentlemen are becoming interested, so much so that the fathers and grandfathers of my disciples are encouraging us by becoming life members of our great society, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. In Los Angeles many fathers and mothers used to come to see me to express their feelings of gratitude for my leading the Krsna consciousness movement throughout the entire world. Some of them said that it is greatly fortunate for the Americans that I have started the Krsna consciousness movement in America. But actually the original father of this movement is Lord Krsna Himself, since it was started a very long time ago but is coming down to human society by disciplic succession. If I have any credit in this connection, it does not belong to me personally, but it is due to my eternal spiritual master, His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacarya 108 Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Maharaja Prabhupada.
If personally I have any credit in this matter, it is only that I have tried to present Bhagavad-gita as it is, without any adulteration.
