Arguments against the poison theory
Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2007-08-29 · 6 answers
Sometime ago someone asked if it was true that Prabhupada was poisoned. I dont know much about the details but would like to know what is the main argument against this theory so that I can explain it better.

Same argument that Srila Prabhupada gave about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ - a pure devotee cannot be killed by demons. Just like Prahlad Maharaja, he is protected by the Supreme Lord and whatever happens to him happens by the arrangement of the Supreme Lord.Here are some relevant quotes:
mare krishna rahke ke, rahke krishna mare ke:
"If Krishna wants to kill you, no-one can save you. If Krishna wants to save you, no-one can kill you."
"O son of Pritha, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature."
Bhagavad-gita 9.13

The sad truth about this material world is that people can kill for one dollar! This can be confirmed by watching media reports.For money,some people are ready to do anything,even mass killing,as history shows.I believe that 911 was an inside job,by carefully watching arguments from both sides.Christianity is full of mass murder and genocides as well as Islam.Such is the terrible nature of this material world.As Iskcons assets are worth billions of dollars,increasing daily through expansion of "outlets",it is not unreasonable to suspect the painful truth! Power is very intoxicating for some,mainly for those who havent found any bliss in chanting the Holy Names.
The world is full of cults,mostly for money making and controlling masses. And even during Srila Prabhupadas presence,the leader of New Vrndaban turned his temple into a dangerous cult,killing in order to
maintain his position.
Such leaders always end up badly:diseased,accidents,mental breakdown or killed,but more frightening will be Yamarajas judgement!
So,sincere devotees shouldnt be anxious if they are living in poverty,and far from disturbing associations,as their conscience is clear,chanting increasing,preaching always available,even without any temple,as their real wealth is in their spiritual bank!
