Dhanesvara and the "Original Books" Denmark Prabhus

Dhanesvara: With my hosts in Denmark - a solid group of devotees dedicated to distributing Srila Prabhupada's original books everywhere. From left to right: Dhanesvara Das, Caitanya Candra Dasa, Krishna Avatar Dasa and Kamsahanta Dasa.

They organized two events to introduce my book Divine Or Demoniac? And the assembled devotees received the presentation with great appreciation and all of them took books. I'll get the video up as soon as I can. Technical challenges are there. Tonight I leave Denmark for Croatia.

[PADA: Dhanesvara was one of the original ISKCON people to get interested in the poison issue, when the other leaders were avoiding us like the plague. So I have to give him a little credit for accepting that most of the other GBC leaders are -- well OK demoniac -- for lack of a better word. He also accepts that we need to have original books, which is another thing many other ISKCON leaders don't. 

He seems to feel that the ritviks are not fully correct, but if we worship Srila Prabhupada, have his original books, and we do not accept the GBC as gurus, that is evolving as ritvik de facto. At the same time, one reason these false guru people become apparent demons is, they are absorbing sins from others and that makes them more and more contaminated. And thus Srila Prabhupada says, false gurus "will eventually become degraded." 

So perhaps Dhanesvara will agree to this principle as well, neophytes cannot absorb the sins of others as diksha gurus, and if they do artificially, they will degrade. Anyway, original books is a good start, we cannot move anything forward without that foundation. ys pd]

Without our books, our preaching will have no effect -

"My first concern is that my books shall be published and distributed profusely all over the world. Practically, books are the basis of our Movement. Without our books, our preaching will have no effect."
