You all know my views on this particular subject as they relate to the emphasis Srila Prabhupada put on his disciples leading the fight against the international forces of Atheism/Communism. Most devotees are busy with personal growth seminars, etc — or the infighting that has plagued ISKCON since Srila Prabhupada departed. I include my sorry self in that bunch as well. Only in the last year have I finally come to terms with the heavy responsibility laid upon our shoulders by Srila Prabhupada.
I first encountered this lady - Devvy Kidd - way back in 1993 by means of a mutual connection. Her husband served in the US MIlitary for nearly 26 years and was privy to much that had occurred vis a vis the communist "psy-ops" directed against this nation since 1947.
This weekend is Memorial Day and these two articles might interest some of you. If not, no worries.
Before you read these two articles, here is that excerpt from HDG Srila Prabhupada. On April 4th 1975, in Sri Dhama Mayapur Srila Prabhupada made a very unique and amazing request to his American disciples. I was seated perhaps 10 feet away from His Divine Grace when he said the following and these words have haunted me ever since. Please read them carefully.
"So, this I request, especially my American disciples. America has good potentiality to save the world. So if you preach very nicely in your country—and not all of them will be interested, but if a section of men in your country, you can turn them to become Krishna conscious, it will be great benefit for the whole world.
But the aim is the same: punar janma ajaya, to gain victory over this process of birth, death, disease and old age This is not fiction. This is fact. People are not serious but you can teach your people.
Otherwise the whole human society is at risk.
They are like animals. Especially this communist movement is very, very dangerous, they want to make everyone big animals. They are already animal, but the communist want to make them big animals. So, I am speaking to the Americans, because America is a little serious against this communistic movement — and it can be counteracted!
Because the process is ocurring for a very very long time, DEVA vs ASURA, the fight between the demigods and the demons. So the same fight is going on in different name as communist and the capitalist.
[Chuckles!] But the capitalists are also 80% to 90% demons. Because they do not know the science of God. That is demonic principle. So, there is good chance in your country to make them rectify their demoniac principle and THEN they will be VERY STRONGLY ABLE TO FIGHT with the other demons.
If we become deva... Deva means Vaishnava. [Prabhupada chants Sanskrit sloka] Those who are devotees of Lord Vishnu, they are called devas. And those who are just the opposite number, the opposite number they also worship some god. The demons they often worship Lord Shiva—like Ravana, the example. We are not accusing unnecessarily, but Ravana was a great demon. He was worshipping Lord Shiva. Worshipping Lord Shiva means to get some material profit. But worshipping Lord Vishnu, material profit may come by the mercy of Lord Vishnu. That is not karma, but... The Vaishnavas are not aspiring for material profit, but the material profit automatically comes. But they do not desire profit. Material profit is not the aim of life; aim of life is how to satisfy Vishnu. The demons, they do not know that to become Vaishnava is the highest perfection of life.
So, anyway, our request is you are young men, you have taken to this path of Vaishnavism, and there is very good chance to preach this cult in your country. So even if you are not very successful in other countries, in your country, you will be very much successful. There is good potency, and try to make them stronger to fight with the demoniac principles.
Thank you very much. (Srila Prabhupada in a lecture on Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi-Lila, Chapter 1 Text 11, Mayapur, April 4, 1975)
