Srila Prabhupada Poison Investigation
A Private Investigation by Sr. Disciples
This report is presented as an independent analysis by several of Srila
Prabhupada's Sr. Disciples. And friends of ISKCON.
Points to consider
1. Tape 46 (11-11-77) does not reflect the actual events or conversations taking place. Our audio investigation reveals that there are more than 4 spliced in sections, using the conversations book as a guide here are several examples. See also section D part 2.
A,
page 373, After Srila Prabhupada asks to be laid flat until Hamsaduta mentions going around Vrndavana. During Jayapataka talking there can be heard pages turning as if a script is being read.
Also his statement "Like to follow the same treatment ..." is out of context and spoken into the air
B,
Page 379, the middle of Tamal Krsna's conversation.
C.
Page 383, Srila Prabhupada says " I am thinking I am lying here"
D.
Page 391, Srila Prabhupada "Yes"
E.
Page 393, You can hear that the background noise is completely different
in this section.
2. There are many whispers on the tape some of which are missing from the BBT copies and the conversations book. We have spend hundreds of hours analyzing these whispers and have come to these conclusions as to there meanings.
A.
Page 373, After Srila Prabhupada asks to lay flat, "The poisons going down, a giggle, the poisons going down."
B.
Page 373, After "follow the same treatment", "Is the poison in the milk, um hum"
C.
Page 374, After Srila Prabhupada says "Daytime we expose...", We hear "Do it now" The conversation book then says "Prabhupada drinks something"
D.
Page 378, Tamal Krsna says "who is Srila Prabhupada talking about" this statement as well as the Answer is not on our copies of the original tapes sent to us by Isa das.
What we hear is "Jayadvaita...... will you serve Srila Prabhupada poison Jayadvaita," then several negative responses followed "by Nette Nette" Tamal Krsna then begins a conversation with Srila Prabhupada after he says "Srila Prabhupada" the tape is cut and spliced.
E.
Page 391, After Jayapataka says "should there be kirtana" we hear a Bengali term then "Poison Ishvarya Rasa" Srila Prabhupada says very surprised "ME" then "take it easy get ready to go" then a few seconds later "The poisons in you Srila Prabhupada" "He's going under ... He's going under." Then perhaps we hear Hamsadutas final kirtan of 11-14-77 spliced into this 11-11-77 tape.
