George Orwell wrote in his classic book 1984 that “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” In the same way, ISKCON’s leadership has worked relentlessly to distort public and members’perceptions of the institutional past, or history, by promoting false and manufactured versions of what really happened during 1977 when Srila Prabhupada was mysteriously ill and in the following decades. This is done to rewrite history to conform to their deviant policies and doctrines, and as though ISKCON and its Governing Board Commission (GBC) were the faithful executor of Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and specific instructions. Unfortunately, since Srila Prabhupada’s physical departure, ISKCON has been changed into something unrecognizable from what Srila Prabhupada created and left to us. He hoped ISKCON would be maintained without changes and many times warned his disciples to avoid such a calamity.
“From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. You manufacture ideas and then I have to waste my time. I have given you everything already, there is no need for you to add anything or change anything. Why you are asking these things? Who has given you such freedom?” (SPL Dhruvananda Jan. 4, 1973)
In his Introduction to the 1946 edition of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley noted that the greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing, but by not doing something. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply being silent on certain subjects, by lowering an effective ‘iron curtain’ between the general devotees and such facts or arguments as the ISKCON GBC regards as undesirable, totalitarian propagandists (and the ISKCON deviant leadership) influence thought even more effectively than by their lies. By this silence in ISKCON, by ignoring, suppressing, and rewriting or wrongly interpreting what actually took place since Srila Prabhupada became “ill” in 1976, we are not permitted to know the truth, nor are we allowed to speak openly and discuss it.
This volume summarizes and reveals the unvarnished, hidden history of the ISKCON organization from 1977, when Srila Prabhupada was poisoned with lethal levels of heavy metals (see Vol. 1: Srila Prabhupada Triumphant Departure- Complete Book of Poisoning Evidence for the conclusive scientific proof of this tragedy). Also this present volume is about Srila Prabhupada’s glorious pastimes.
