pamho agtACBSP, well i’m not surprised to hear about it because Rome used to be the capital of the world after Bharatavarsa empire with capital was in New Delhi.
At Radha Damodara Mandir they have the original books written by the six Gosvamis of Vrindavana and those books are even older than the vedic books they got in Vaticano.
Anyway they keep those books uselessly i mean they are not aware of the rare treasure of those books.
Of course the benefit by keeping those books is still there but it is offensive to keep them as a souvenir instead of reading them and become self-realized.
Better we mind only our spiritual business to get SRILA PRABHUPADA wherever HE goes,

Who is presently fighting global atheism? Where are the bold Vaishnava gurus preaching?
In case you never heard anything for a long, long time, you are right.
It is the Christians who adopted Prabhupada’s preaching spirit and since 15 years exposed atheism via Intelligent Design and Creationism. Both ideas started by Prabhupada. Prabhupada wanted Bhaktivedanta Institute to address modern science. On their website – news section – it says, 1986, 1990….
So, theism vs atheism is fought out by Christian philosophers/scientists, not the Vaishnavas. They lost it long ago.
Hopefully they find nice quotes in their Vatican Vaishnava library to more efficiently establish God as creator.
Their global movement to stop animal killing – also Prabhupada’s idea – PETA – is getting stronger, too, performing quite all right.
Although the Vaishnavas reaffirm of knowing everything, always having the last word, we wont see any perfomance of bold preaching in near future. If you are out of practice for so long better let experts do the job….
We owe everything what`s happening today to Srila Prabhupada. People all over world just did not know it. The second coming of Jesus Christ if only the Christian World knew already departed to Krishnaloka on November 14, 1977.
The Internet & Srila Prabhupada…
If it were not for the pure devotion of Srila Prabhupada to his Guru Sarawasti Maharaj inspiring His Divine Grace translate the 18,000 sanskrit verses of Srimad Bhagavatam to English with attached purports to each texts, it would not be possible to animate the cold & dark Cyber space. It began when the US Library of Congress with great care catalogued Srimad Bhagavtam into the World Wide Web Bill Gates designed that the Ethernet moved. The same Living Force Chaitanya Mahaprabhu pushing the Jagannath cart when the elephants pulling it could not.
