World (VNN) - by Isha das
Drutakarma Dasa misquotes Srila Prabhupada:
"Boats and Houses, Moons and Stars
A Response to Advaita Prabhu by Drutakarma Dasa
The metaphor about a house in which everyone can live is not Srila Prabhupada's. It was a sentimental image conjured up by some astrologer. What Srila Prabhupada did say was that his followers shouldn't change his teachings."
The above is what Drutakarma Dasa thinks about what Srila Prabhupada wants. Below find Srila Prabhupada's real desire.
Brahmananda: Oh, Bhavananda Maharaja, he knows. The astrologer in Mayapur?
Bhavananda: Oh, Mr... In Svarap Gaaj there's one big astrologer. So he saw your photograph, and he said, This is the face of the most powerful spiritual personality on the planet.
Prabhupada: (laughs) Hare Krsna.
Brahmananda: Then what else?
Bhavananda: Then he said that I can tell from his face that he can make a house in which the whole world can live peacefully.
Devotees: Jaya Prabhupada!
Prabhupada: At least I desire so.
