By "Poison Tapes" |
Room Conversation, Vrindavan 10/31/77
Prabhupada: Huh. No more, no more trial. Adri-dharana?
Adri-dharana: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: What do you think?
Adri-dharana: About this man?
Prabhupada: Yes. Follow strictly.
Tamala Krsna: Do you agree that we should follow strictly his advice?
Adri-dharana: From my experience I think he's a very good man. He's a Vaisnava.
Tamala Krsna: We certainly have... We might as well try. We've tried everyone
else.
Prabhupada: Hm.
Tamala Krsna: So let us try.
Bhavananda: He did agree with your own diagnosis, Prabhupada. He said makaradhvaja at this point would be poison and today you said that it was poison.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Bhavananda: So that was...
Prabhupada: Mm. Mm?
Tamala Krsna: Satadhanya asks whether he looks like the man you saw in the
dream.
Prabhupada: He has tilaka?
Tamala Krsna: Yes, he has nice tilaka.
Prabhupada: (indistinct). The other man, he has nice tilaka?
Tamala Krsna: Govardhanaji has tilaka?
Adri-dharana: No.
Tamala Krsna: No.
Prabhupada: That's all right.
Adri-dharana: Also Govardhanaji was not very, extremely helpful. He said he
would not come to Vrndavana. He said he would not...
Tamala Krsna: Now this man said in fifteen days Prabhupada would be better.
Adri-dharana: He said there will be improvement, in a few days, two or three
days there will be improvement.

Room Conversation Vrindavan 10/77
Prabhupada: So... Kaviraja he might ...
Tamala Krsna: What Srila Prabhupada?
Prabhupada: That Kaviraja .. some how another it does not happen.
Tamala Krsna: I don't feel this is conclusively not happened.
Prabhupada: Simply, one after another.
Tamala Krsna: Yeah.. First we had that Madva.. not Madva - Ramanuji from Sri
Rangaji temple he seemed to be a cheater... then this one we got
this medicine from that Shakti...Shakta Kaviraja and that medicine
turned out to be poison.
Prabhupada: Hmm...
Tamala Krsna: And now this Kaviraja, who is supposed to be coming from Calcutta
has become a mystery where he is. The temple was called they said
had left...
Devotee: Twice...
Tamala Krsna: ...they called twice to Calcutta...they said they left and yet
he is not here.
I don't know what to make of it. A very puzzling situation.
I think if by tomorrow noon they have not arrived, then Satadanya
can go to Calcutta.

Room Conversation, Vrindavan 11/8/77
Prabhupada: Sa eva go-kharah. (pause)
Tamala Krsna: Srila Prabhupada? You said before that you..., that it is said
that you were poisoned?
Prabhupada: No. These kind of symptoms are seen when a man is poisoned. He said like that, not that I am poisoned.
Tamala Krsna: Did anyone tell you that, or you just know it from before?
Prabhupada: I read something.
Tamala Krsna: Ah, I see. That's why actually we cannot allow anyone else to
cook for you.
Prabhupada: That is good.
Tamala Krsna: Jayapataka Maharaja was telling that one acarya, Sankaracarya,
of the Sankaracarya line--this was a while ago--he was poisoned
to death. Since that time, none of the acaryas or the gurus of
the Sankaracarya line will ever take any food cooked except by
their own men.
Prabhupada: My Guru Maharaja also.
Tamala Krsna: Oh. You, of course, have been so merciful that sometimes you
would take prasada cooked by so many different people.
Prabhupada: That should be stopped. (pause)

was the mental disturbance.
Kaviraja: (Hindi)
Tamal Krishna: What did Kaviraja say?
Unknown (Indian accent): He said that when Srila Prabhupada is saying that there must
be some truth behind it.
Devotee: What is ....?
Devotee: That someone gave him some poison - powdered (many voices - hindi)
Tamal Krishna: Srila Prabhupada, Shastraji says that there must be some truth
to it if you said that. So who is it that has poisoned?
Pause......
Kaviraja: (Hindi - asking SP)
(Hindi conversation)
Devotee: What did he say?

Mercury is a kind of poison.

Jagadisa: Srila Prabhupada, can you tell us why you want to go on the
parikrama?
Bhakti-caru: (Bengali) (break)
Prabhupada: ...good paddy.
Tamala Krsna: This seems like suicide, Srila Prabhupada, this program. It
seems to some of us like it's suicidal.
Prabhupada: And this is also suicidal.
Tamala Krsna: Hm. Prabhupada said, "And this is also suicide." Now you have
to choose which suicide.
Prabhupada: The Ravana will kill and Rama will kill. Better to be killed
by Rama. Eh? That Marica--if he does not go to mislead Sita, he'll
be killed by Ravana; and if he goes to be killed by Rama, then
it is better.
Tamala Krsna: Who is this Prabhupada's talking about?
Devotees: Marica.
Tamala Krsna: Srila Prabhupada? I mean, just judging the symptoms, which is
all that we can do, certain symptoms have certainly picked up.
For instance, you're passing more urine, stool is coming naturally,
and you're able to drink milk without getting any cough. These
things were never there before.
Prabhupada: Hm. That will continue.
