Devas and asuras, gods and anti-gods, servants of Krishna and servants of Maya. These are our Vedic categories. We should see the world through this lens rather than the many categories invented and foisted upon us by the asuras: pro-science vs. anti-science, progressive vs. alt-right, racist vs. inclusive, communist vs. capitalist.
It seems to me that with the ‘enlightenment’ came the hiding of Lucifer in Science. The Devil disappeared, and what remained was Man in all his individualistic glory. We are the highest living entity in the universe (no longer the ‘Creation’) and to survive and satisfy our appetites is all in all.
The ‘Prabhupada’ that Mayesvara dasa (of Ireland) invokes in this article is well-proved by his every judicious citation, and yet the ‘progressive Vaishnavas’ would strike down this ‘Prabhupada’ as ‘ultra-right wing’–even conspiracy-obsessed. They would then install their own ‘Prabhupada’ made in their politically-correct image.
My ‘Prabhupada’ is represented in this article by Mayesvara. Mayesvara is not only interested in discussing Vedic flat Earth, but in how worldview itself is hijacked by asuras to our disadvantage. This article analyzes the “pandemic” strictly using the Vedic categories “devotees and demons”: suras and asuras, or gods and anti-gods. My comments here are merely to support his fine work.
An unexpected result of the ‘progressive’ Vaishnavas who prefer to interpret Srila Prabhupada is that the Devil has pulled off his greatest trick in convincing them that he doesn’t exist! Thus they shy away from the very term ‘demon’ which Srila Prabhupada so oft used. The division of the world’s living entities into two was done by Krishna–not by little me–or even Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada didn’t originate the idea that there are demons and devotees: Krishna did!
dvau bhūta-sargau loke ‘smin
daiva āsura eva ca
daivo vistaraśaḥ prokta
āsuraṁ pārtha me śṛṇu
“O son of Pṛthā, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demonic. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.” (BG 16.6)
A devotee of Krishna, therefore, creates his world view around the categories created by the Lord, not those shrewdly crafted by the asuras.
When ‘devotees’ demonize other devotees for merely calling out the asuric structural frame within which they are operating this is motivated by an agenda. This agenda is not Srila Prabhupada’s agenda and many of those ‘devotees’ are being used by string-pullers well above their pay-grade. It’s complex on one hand, but simple on the other. Srila Prabhupada taught us the formula for practical analysis: phalena parichiyate (judge by the result).
If the final analysis comes to “these demons are not working in our best interest and we need to take full shelter of Harinama so that Krishna can protect us” that is a good outcome. If, on the other hand, the final analysis comes to “we need to be more inclusive of race and gender and sexual orientation while we partner up with the UN/WEF/WHO, stay home and stay safe, ‘trust the science’ on safe-and-effective shots…also Srila Prabhupada was wrong about these scientists, politicians and bankers, they’re really not so bad…perhaps we should annotate the racist and misogynistic statements in his books to adapt to the ‘changing times’”…
…well, the asuras are winning then, aren’t they?
Srila Prabhupada never asked for the permission of Big Science when he called out the Moon landing as a hoax to cheat the masses, nor did he ever back down from this view at a later time. He never asked permission from historians to reverse the ‘enlightenment’ by re-establishing the Great Chain of Being that begins with the Original Father, Krishna (that comprehends 8,400,000 species of life–thousands of which are superior to feeble humans).
He never asked permission from the government to chant the Lord’s Name in public places. He never bowed to the vox populi as he called out the essential differences that exist between men and women. He never asked permission to smash the atheistic frame of thought that is the West and give us the seed of Krishna prema in the chanting of the Holy Name:
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
Srila Prabhupada acts on the platform of the authority given him by Krishna, not by the extroverts of this material world. He is a surrendered servant of Krishna and this gives him the mace. You can sit on the sidelines and criticize–from within the frame of the asuras–or you can surrender to his right and correct perception which is guided by the worldview that ultimately holds weight, that of Lord Krishna. As sung by the great Narottama Dasa Thakur, “My only wish is to have my consciousness purified by the words emanating from his lotus mouth.”
