Srila Prabhupada on bombing and terrorists
Srila Prabhupadas war on bombing and terrorists
Just a quick look at some of Srila Prabhupadas book's we can see fighting and killing goes on; you may call it terrorism, but its the same killing with a new name. This another trick of maya to take you away from your Gauranga Krsna consciousness
Srila Prabhupada said"whole population is pigs, hogs and dogs. How you can expect peace and prosperity in this society?"
Whatever happens: Srila Prabhupada said; "Prabhupada: Your preaching will not be stopped. It will go on."
"Prabhupada: Now the... You can expect at any moment disaster in this material world,"
"first verse-samsara-davanala-lidha-loka tranaya karuna-ghanaghanatvam-but first he made the meaning of samsara-davanala clear. After all, without realizing the misery of material life, why would anyone accept a guru to get out of it? Thus Prabhupada gave several examples of the blazing forest fire of material existence: two World Wars, the Vietnam War, the Pakistan War.
"You may try your best to live very peacefully, but nature will not allow you. There must be war. Especially in European history, there were so many wars: Carthaginian war, Greek War, Roman War, Seven Years' War between France and England, and Hundred Years' War. And the war feeling is going on, not only between nation and nation, but also between man and man, neighbor to neighbor, even between husband and wife, father and son. This war is going on".
:Srila Bhaktisiddhanta replied in a quiet, deep voice that K���a consciousness didn't have to wait for a change in Indian politics, nor was it dependent on who ruled. K���a consciousness was so important-so exclusively important-that it could not wait."

Bhaktisiddhanta's demeanor to indicate that he had not been serious-Abhay felt compelled to question how he could propose such a thing while India was still dependent.

Amogha: The sign says parking for botanic gardens. But I'm not acquainted with it. (pause) I don't know. It says, "Centenary. August 22, 1947." Perhaps its name is on the other side. (pause) Is there going to be a world war very soon? We heard there would be.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Amogha: Then it will be a very different situation for preaching.
Prabhupada: Your preaching will not be stopped. It will go on. (pause)

Prabhupada: Now the... You can expect at any moment disaster in this material world, but the comet is the sign that there will be some great disaster. It is... This material world, in every step there is disaster. Padam padam yad vipadam [SB 10.14.58]. But those who have taken shelter of K���a, the disaster is not meant for them. Sam��rit� ye pada-pallava-plavam. Pada� padam yad vipadam na tesam. So how big it is?
TRANSLATION
For those who have accepted the boat of the lotus feet of the Lord, who is the shelter of the cosmic manifestation and is famous as Mur�ri, the enemy of the Mura demon, the ocean of the material world is like the water contained in a calf's hoof-print. Their goal is para� padam, Vaiku��ha, the place where there are no material miseries, not the place where there is danger at every step.

Prabhupada: Yes. So there is no question of tapasya now. Therefore the whole population is pigs, hogs and dogs. How you can expect peace and prosperity in this society? That is not possible. It is a society of pigs and hogs. �va-vi�... �va-vi�-var�ha u��ra-kharai� sa�stuta� puru�a� pa�u�. If somebody says, "If the..., it is a society of pigs and hogs, then what about these leaders?"
Dr. Patel: They are bigger hogs and pigs.
Prabhupada: Yes. That's all. That is stated: �va-vi�-var�ho��ra-kharai� sa�stuta� puru�a� pa�u� [SB 2.3.19]. He's also a big pa�u�. That's all. Otherwise how he can dare to see that "Bhajan is nuisance"? Because it is pa�u�. He's not even a human being. Otherwise how he dares say like that? [break] ...reply that dacoit. If I reply, then I have to call him, "You are a pa�u�."
Dr. Patel: And he told me...
Prabhupada: Yes.

.........."The guru can help you transmigrate from this planet directly to the spiritual sky, where there are innumerable spiritual planets." Prabhupada mentioned the verse in Bhagavad-gita that says according to one's desires one can go to different planets. "That is called samsara, Prabhupada said, "rotating within this material world. And that is compared to davanala, a forest fire."
He was steering toward the first verse-samsara-davanala-lidha-loka tranaya karuna-ghanaghanatvam-but first he made the meaning of samsara-davanala clear. After all, without realizing the misery of material life, why would anyone accept a guru to get out of it? Thus Prabhupada gave several examples of the blazing forest fire of material existence: two World Wars, the Vietnam War, the Pakistan War.
"You may try your best to live very peacefully, but nature will not allow you. There must be war. Especially in European history, there were so many wars: Carthaginian war, Greek War, Roman War, Seven Years' War between France and England, and Hundred Years' War. And the war feeling is going on, not only between nation and nation, but also between man and man, neighbor to neighbor, even between husband and wife, father and son. This war is going on. This is called davanala, forest fire. In the forest nobody goes to set fire, but automatically by the clash or friction of the dried bamboo, there is electricity, and it catches fire. Similarly, although we do not want unhappiness, still by our dealings we create enemies and friends, and there is a fight, there is war. This will continue. This is called samsara-davanala. Just try to understand. So guru means spiritual master-who can deliver one from this forest fire.
