The great sinister movement

"Humility implies perfect submission to the truth and no sympathy for untruth.

A person who entertains any partiality for untruth is unfit to chant the kirtana of Hari."

~ Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur ~

"NOTHING should be accepted BLINDLY; everything should be accepted with care and with caution …The TRUTH should be spoken in a straight-foward way, so that others will understand actually what the facts are …Although sometimes the truth is unpalatable, one should not refrain from speaking it." (B.G.10.4-5 Purport)

"A devotee should have intelligence to know who is deviating. Surrender by your intelligence but don’t surrender your intelligence.” (SP to Bali Mardana, 1974)

The great sinister movement

Srila Prabhupada said in his Letter to Hamsaduta: "Regarding the poisonous effect in our Society, it is a fact and I know where from this poison tree has sprung up and how it affected practically the whole Society in a very dangerous form. But it does not matter. Prahlada Maharaja was administered poison, but it did not act. Similarly Lord Krsna and the Pandavas were administered poison and it did not act. I think in the same parampara system that the poison administered to our Society will not act if some of our students are as good as Prahlada Maharaja. I have therefore given the administrative power to the Governing Body Commission. (GBC) .... You are also one of the members of the GBC, so you can think over very deeply how to save the situation. It is a fact however that the great sinister movement is within our Society. .... I have not heard anything from Krsna das or Syamasundara., so all of you may try to save the Society from this dangerous position." [Srila Prabhupada Letter to: Hamsaduta 2 September, 1970]

Srila Prabhupada is very precise with his usage of words and he says the word "movement" which is not just one or two individuals. In fact not just a movement but THE GREAT SINISTER MOVEMENT. Srila Prabhupada herein says, that there is another movement within our movement. That means there is another IskCon within Iskcon. So, Srila Prabhupada clearly differentiates between two types of Iskcon (another movement within our movement) So we actually have two Iskcons, but the other Iskcon is the great sinister movement, as Srila Prabhupada stated. And He again says: THAT IS A FACT.

They will want to crush down this movement. So this will be up to Him. Krsna or Krsna's movement, the same thing. And Krsna was attempted to be killed by Kamsa class of men and his company, the demons. So it will be there; it is already there. Don't be disappointed, because that is the meaning that it is successful. Krsna's favor is there, because Krsna and Krsna's movement is not different, nondiff..., identical. So as Krsna was attempted to be killed, many, many years before He appeared... At eighth child, if the mother produces child yearly, still ten years, eight years before His birth, the mother was to be attempted to be killed. So there may be attempt like that. And Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also. [Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation, May 3, 1976, Honolulu]

Since Srila Prabhupada pointed out to us, that there is a great sinister movement within our Society, we also have to accept the fact, that there are great sinister "devotees" (kali-chelas) acting within our society.
