Padmapani das: Dear Prabhus, Readers and Friends,<\/p>\n
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n
For those who might be interested or affected, I recently terminated “The Prabhupada Connection” website.<\/p>\n
With deep regret, I admit that I messed up very badly and tragically. I was prescribed medication for back pain, cramping and spasms due to car accidents and I became addicted. In fact, I used too many and allowed myself to be controlled by toxic drugs (Tylenol 3 and Alprazolam). Therefore, I’m not qualified to continue with my service and have voluntarily resigned. Srila Prabhupada deserves so much better – pure devotional service to his lotus feet.<\/p>\n
I no longer take those medications, but I should have known better. Maya is very strong and She got me in my Achilles Heel, even when I was attempting to serve His Divine Grace. So better I work on myself now rather than trying to reach others.<\/p>\n
I pray with all my heart and soul that somehow Krishna and Srila Prabhupada will eventually forgive me – and I hope too the assembled Vaisnavas, our faithful readers and my dear friends. I’m very sorry to one and all. I’m a disgrace and I admit it.<\/p>\n
All the best and thanks to so many great souls who befriended me online and who made “The Prabhupada Connection” a wonderful success. It almost seemed like we could sail back to Godhead on the wings of “The Prabhupada Connection,” except for my utter foolishness and horrible downfall. Please forgive me.<\/p>\n
All glories to the great swan-like Paramahamsa, Srila Prabhupada, who will never fall down or disappoint.<\/p>\n
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!<\/p>\n
Undeservedly begging your mercy,
\nPadmapani das<\/p>\n
