Srila Prabhupada's Herculean Mission

Srila
Prabhupada states in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam
1.5.36, " The Lord definitely says that no one is more
dear to Him than one who is always engaged in the
preaching work of the Lord's name and fame all over the
world." Although we are not very qualified or
competent, we are trying our level best to do a little something to assist Srila Prabhupada
in his herculean mission of making the entire world
Krishna conscious. We are praying for his mercy and
Krishna's mercy that we can be successful.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
Objection: Blaming
Dr. Hawking is Abusing Krishna |
|
In
response to the question you were asked about the
atheistic scientist, Dr. Stephen Hawking, you used the
terms "idiots" and "rascals." According to the
Bhagavad-gita, Dr. Hawking or anybody is a form of Lord
Krishna. So if we abuse him or anybody I think we are
directly or indirectly abusing Krishna. There are so
many good people who do not believe in God and who also
knowingly or unknowingly mislead the people from actual
realty.
I think we should not blame or abuse anybody. Please
correct me if am wrong.
Your humble servant,
C.N.

Answer: If Blaming Is Wrong,
Why Do You Blame? |
|
My Dear
C.N.,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
You have asked me to correct you if you are wrong. So
now, as per you request, I humbly beg to point out the
discrepancies in what you have written. Kindly try to
understand that I doing this in the mood of a humble
servant who wants to help you become perfect in
happiness by becoming perfect in your realization of the
science of Krishna consciousness as taught by Lord Sri
Krishna in the Srimad Bhagavad-gita.
The first point is: If your philosophy is not to blame
anyone, why are you blaming me? This is contradictory.
The second point is: There is no verse in the
Bhagavad-gita which upholds the principle that Dr.
Hawking and everyone else is a form of God. Rather we
are all the tiny servants of God.
The third point is: Please note carefully that it is not
I who am saying that Dr. Hawking is a rascal. It is
Krishna who declares that such persons are rascals.
avajānanti māṁ
mūḍhā
mānuṣīṁ
tanum āśritam
paraṁ
bhāvam ajānanto
mama bhūta-maheśvaram
"Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They
do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord
of all that be."
--Bhagavad-gita 9.11
I am simply broadcasting the words of Krishna because
this is what my spiritual master and Lord Krishna have
ordered me to do. So if you want to find fault, you will
have to find fault with Lord Krishna.
In conclusion, if we remain passive in the face of the
atheistic onslaught, soon atheism will completely
overwhelm and destroy whatever vestiges of theism remain
on this planet. Therefore if we have any love for the
people of this world and sincerely desire their ultimate
welfare, we must oppose very strongly these rascals such
as Dr. Hawking, who deny the existence of God and who
criticize the holy scriptures as being nothing more than
fairy tales for little children.
I hope this meets you in the best of health
and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
