Update on the Poison Issue (Nityananda dasa)

Received today from Nityananda Prabhu.... May 19, 2017.

Dear Godbrothers, Godsisters, and all devotees:

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances.

Below please find an excerpt of two key chapters from our upcoming free E-book which I ask all to read carefully (if they are interested in the new evidence that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned with sky-high levels of cadmium- the arsenic being secondary). This discovery was made in 2002-05, but the final report was only obtained in 2015, and thus the long delay in its disclosure.

I have been following some of the reactions and responses to my recent video about how the scientific forensic breakthrough was made in the private investigation into Srila Prabhupada’s poisoning. It is clear that many who make public comments on the issue and my video HAVE NOT WATCHED THE END OF THE VIDEO to see the new evidence discovered by the Truth Committee about Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance pastimes, as described in these two chapters.

Aside from the chapters here for your information, please allow me to address a few of the negative responses, which I posit are misunderstandings of the issue due to a lack of knowing the facts and evidence. Some of the misunderstandings are:

(1). THERE CAN BE NO FINAL RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE WITHOUT AN EXHUMATION

Yes, in many murder investigations, law enforcement will exhume the body to test tissues for poisons. But we have already tested Srila Prabhupada’s body via his sacred relic hair samples. Three authenticated (by the GBC themselves) Srila Prabhupada hair samples were tested, and all were found to have sky-high, deadly levels of cadmium, a heavy metal more poisonous than arsenic. 

There is thus no need to exhume Srila Prabhupada and we do not suggest such a drastic measure. The hair samples that devotees saved as relics never went into the Samadhi, so they can be tested as parts of Srila Prabhupada’s body to determine poisoning. Poisoning was verified by these new tests.

(2). THE WHISPERS CAN NEVER BE PROOF OF ANYTHING

Actually, the science of audio forensics is used worldwide by courts of law and law enforcement regularly, and is able to determine the real content of recordings which may be difficult for the subjective human ear to understand. Although hundreds of devotees have clearly heard the poison word in three different whispers, we have also had SEVEN confirmations done by two professional sound studios and five recognized audio forensic laboratories. 

These are all documented in our upcoming report. The whispers have thus been scientifically certified as real court-worthy evidence. The whispers are not just what we think them to be- they are now what the scientific experts say they are, namely that Srila Prabhupada’s own caretakers were discussing malicious poisoning in his room just a few days before his departure. The confirmatory hair tests also validate the whispers. But even without the whispers, there is the absolute proof of poisoning in the new hair tests.

(3). WHY REHASH WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SETTLED?

The truth is that the matter was never honestly or satisfactorily settled by the ISKCON leadership, as detailed in Part Six of our upcoming report. The GBC engaged in a fraudulent cover up. Further, new evidence was discovered afterwards, which is presented in our upcoming report. Up to 2000, the GBC claimed that 20 times normal arsenic is not a problem. 

But then the discovery was made in GBC certified hair samples at a GBC-chosen laboratory that Srila Prabhupada had about 250 times the normal levels of cadmium in his body (as found in his hair). The story about this discovery is given in my video, which is 54 minutes long, and it seems some have not watched it completely, judging from their comments.

(4). SRILA PRABHUPADA WAS NOT POISONED, AS HE WAS SURROUNDED BY LOVING DISCIPLES

Yes, Srila Prabhupada was certainly surrounded by loving disciples. But Srila Prabhupada’s poisoning by cadmium is also a certainty, as shown by the tests on the GBC’s hair samples done in 2002-05. Abhirama, Srutirupa, and other prabhus may not have seen anything untoward while they faithfully served Srila Prabhupada in his last year, but obviously someone, somehow, did manage to poison Srila Prabhupada with sky-high levels of cadmium, as proven by the new hair tests. 

And these deadly levels were maintained from early March to November 1977, at the minimum, a time of at least 8 months. Poisoning is a secretive act that no one expects or detects, even if many loving persons are present. Poison can be introduced unknown to others by many unseen or unnoticed channels. Yes, it is very hard to accept that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned, and I deeply sympathize with those who cannot bear to entertain the notion even to the extent of refusing to look at the facts. But this is a threshold that each devotee will sooner or later need to face honestly.

Please let us look at the facts and evidence that has been assembled by Balavanta, Naveen Krishna, the GBC themselves, and the Truth Committee’s private investigation. It is all documented in our upcoming free E-book report, of which two key chapters are given below. 

There are no crazy, envious, deranged, or wacky people involved in making this report on the conclusive evidence that Srila Prabhupada was indeed poisoned at lethal levels with cadmium (and arsenic). Please try to study a little bit the actual evidence in this matter. Many sincere devotees have persevered to discover the facts in the face of institutional intimidation. 

It is time all the followers of Srila Prabhupada get the chance (and take it) to understand the facts and evidence as it is, rather than the party line that Srila Prabhupada was not poisoned. He was, and scientific proof is now there, beyond any reasonable doubt. My deep apologies for the pain and difficulty these developments may bring to anyone.

Yours in Srila Prabhupada’s service,

Nityananda das
