GBC Calls For Cooperation With Investigators
USA (VNN) - After the initial outcry of many Vaishnavas in shock
over the prospect of the Srila Prabhupada poisoning controversy
the support for the investigation is growing in the Vaishnava
community.
Apparently the GBC has issued a statement that was sent to devotees
in support of the investigation asking all ISKCON devotees to
cooperate and not interfere with the devotees doing the investigation.
VNN has received word of the first preliminary results of the
forensic audio test but has agreed to wait for the final results
of the analysis before publishing it's findings.
Bir Krishna Swami shares his findings: "I have very very sophisticated
sound processing equipment. The clip in question does not mention
poison but the whisper says: 'That's not part of the treatment'
If you listen carefully you will see that it is what is said."
and "If you listen to the sound file posted on the VNN page with
very sensitive headphones you will hear that this is actually
what is said."
VADA has announced a Sadhu Sanga chat room session regarding the poison investigation on Sunday, November
16th, at 10:00 a.m. PST. Also there is ongoing discussion on
Dharma Mela, a threaded discussion board on Vada.
One devotee writes: "If Srila Prabhupada is really poisoned. This
fact should be also indicated in his chart. Did anyone find any
clue's that anyone would poison him?" Another replies: "This may
be true because Srila Prabhupada had left this word in Ketu Mahadasa.
Ketu - poison. And Ketu is in the 8th - the house of death." If
there are any vedic astrology experts out there please contact
VNN to verify this.
Surprisingly on COM only 4 postings could be found in the open
forums regarding the investigation. You would expect to find a
little more activity from a society with "several thousand" members
on an explosive issue like that, or is it that they have been
trained that well not to say anything or ask any questions?
