Jeweler Somehow Finds Her 3-Carat Gems At Fresh Kills.
PRABHUPADA: Chanakya Pandit says that one must catch what is right from any source. If there is a glass of poison with some nectar in it, he says, one should take out the nectar and leave the poison. In the same way, if one finds gold in a filthy place, he should take it.

Zimbabwe introduces $100 billion banknotes

Zimbabwe's troubled central bank introduced $100 billion banknotes Saturday in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy.

India's manual scavengers Clean-up

After Baby has finished her morning's work—for which she earns 75 rupees ($1.73) of extra spending money a month—she scrubs herself clean with soap. But she is still treated as a pariah: "Shopkeepers drop the rice to me; they won't touch me," she says.
PRABHUPADA: The shastras do not speak of untouchables. Everyone is eligible to practice Krishna consciousness and return to Godhead, provided the necessary spiritual qualifications are there.

Flip-Flop Flap

Under headlines like "IN CAMPAIGN, ONE MAN'S PRAGMATISM IS ANOTHER'S FLIP-FLOPPING," the big papers have been assembling quite a list of matters on which the candidate has "changed his position," including Iraq, abortion rights, federal aid to faith-based social services, capital punishment, gun control, public financing of campaigns, and wiretapping.
PRABHUPADA: The politicians, they have made the minds of general people, general public, that they're very much interested what the politician says. Every day he's simply speaking all nonsense; still, they're interested.

Back to Godhead and the Creed of the United States Marines

[Posted Thu 10 Jul 2008]
The Back to Godhead magazine needs to be revived. Its all important position as "Primary Weapon" in the arsenal of the samkirtan man or woman - simply cannot be overlooked - any more than a US Marine can overlook the importance of his rifle!more

The Authority of Srila Prabhupada and the Dictation of Lord Krishna

Praghosa das
[Posted Mon 30 Jun 2008]
At its core – this case – like all other aspects of ISKCON post 1977 – stems from the principle issue: WHOSE MISSION IS IT? WHO IS ACTUALLY the ACTUAL ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY UNDER THE BANNER OF ISKCON?more

When I heard of all the dustup generated by one simple brahmacari's maintaining a website to discuss the perils of womanly association and sex life by citing Srila Prabhupada's counsel on all that – and that a segment of matajis actually objected to this – I could only think that all the statements Srila Prabhupada had made regarding the deficient long-term intelligence of the fair sex were once again being proven to be "Totally True"...more

The Bhaktivedanta Purports
As Srila Prabhupada's disciples, our function is simply to deliver these two BHAGAVATAS, the book and the person, Srila Prabhupada. It is the function of the disciples to confirm the instructions of the spiritual master, and give assistance to the new candidates. It is not their function to use Srila Prabhupada's books for alluring new candidates to increase their personal following, as it seems to be the case today.

More Vaishnava Acharyas Accept Ritvik
Prof Laksmitatachar: I also want to confirm that this system can continue perpetually even in the physical absence of HH Srila Prabhupadaji as it has continued in Ramanujas tradition as any person initiated by any acharya has dasyanama like Lakshmittathacharya Ramanuja Dasa though Ramanuja passed away long ago.
