All glories to Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n<p>Many years ago, a relatively small group of devotees claimed that some of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s devoted servants had poisoned their beloved guru and caused his disappearance from this world. These conspiracy theorists accused dedicated Vaisnavas of the greatest evil, and they did so with no credible evidence. No reliable science or witnesses supported their ghastly accusations, and so the Vaisnava community in general rejected their unjust claims.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, an attempt has been made to resurrect this dark accusation, that loving disciples, those who gave their entire life to his service and strived continuously to bring comfort and good health to His Divine Grace, conspired to murder Krishna&#8217;s pure devotee. Once again, the accusation is made without reliable science or direct witnesses, or any other form of credible evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The new accusations raise pseudo-scientific arguments that actual science rejects. Therefore, to protect innocent devotees from devastating offenses, the GBC is preparing a detailed response to the latest accusations, which are themselves the actual poison in this case.<\/p>\n<p>The GBC requests ISKCON devotees to focus their attention on serving Prabhupada&#8217;s mission and to avoid hearing these monstrous accusations, until the GBC presents a response to the latest poisonous theories.<\/p>\n<p>Hare Krishna.<\/p>\n<p>Your servants,<\/p>\n<p>Acyutatma Das<br \/>\nAnuttama Das<br \/>\nBadrinarayan Das Goswami<br \/>\nBB Govinda Swami<br \/>\nBhakti Caitanya Swami<br \/>\nBhakti Purusottama Swami<br \/>\nBhakti-bhusana Swami<br \/>\nBhaktimarga Swami<br \/>\nBhaktivaibhava Swami<br \/>\nBhanu Swami<br \/>\nBir Krishna das Goswami<br \/>\nCaitanya Candra Caran Das<br \/>\nCandrasekhara Acarya Das<br \/>\nDevamrita Swami<br \/>\nDina Sharana Devi Dasi<br \/>\nGiridhari Swami<br \/>\nGopal Krsna Goswami<br \/>\nGuru Prasad Swami<br \/>\nHridayananda Das Goswami<br \/>\nHrdaya Caitanya Das<br \/>\nJayapataka Swami<br \/>\nKavicandra Swami<br \/>\nMadhu Sevita Das<br \/>\nMalati Devi Dasi<br \/>\nNiranjana Swami<br \/>\nPraghosa Das<br \/>\nPrahladananda Swami<br \/>\nRadhanath Swami<br \/>\nRamai Swami<br \/>\nRevati Raman Das<br \/>\nRomapada Swami<br \/>\nSesa Das<br \/>\nSivarama Swami<br \/>\nTamohara Das<br \/>\nVirabahu Das<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-liTuHsYFALs\/WiZ3RhpcjCI\/AAAAAAAAguw\/8IQjcoCF4AQzQYTWpmImu2ccsQ6uQ6eugCHMYCw\/s0\/2017-12-05_11-39-04.jpg\" alt=\"Hare Krishna\"\/><strong>By the GBC Body<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Many years ago, a relatively small group of devotees claimed that some of Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s devoted servants had poisoned their beloved guru and caused his disappearance from this world.
