[PADA: "Prabhupada-media," overall good idea. 

However! I was a little astonished to see they are advertising Kundali's book, saying that Srila Prahbupad'as "Back to Godhead" idea is bogus because we were never with Krishna originally. We should not be promoting the people who are attacking the siddhanta of the acharyas, and who are preaching mayavada. What kind of Srila Prabhupada disciple says "Back to Godhead" is a bogus idea, when that is the whole idea in itself?

Never mind Kundali has been a big supporter of "the living guru" idea, saying the books are not sufficient, we need one of his (conditioned soul) gurus. Nice job Kundali, now we have illicit sex with men, women, children, and cats "gurus." 

In any case, it is good that someone is making original books available. A good start. They need to refine the site and clear up advertising anti-Prabhupada materials. Sulochana said: ISKCON devotees have a tendency to add dog stools to the sweet rice, hee hee. He was not kidding! 

I am not sure how to contact these guys or what their program is. 

Let us know if you have details.

REGARDING YOUR QUESTION: how can the spirit soul fall down if it is eternal and changeless?

Srila Prabhupada:

Please accept my blessings. 

I am very glad to receive your letter of 8/20, and glad to hear that everything is going so nicely at our newest center. It all sounds very beautiful, and I am very anxious to come to you personally. 

Perhaps in October I shall go directly from here to San Francisco, and then to Santa Fe, before going to N.Y. 

About your question: The Spirit Soul is certainly eternal and changeless; and the fall is superficial, just like the relation between father and son cannot be broken ever. Now we are simply in a phase of forgetfulness, and this forgetfulness is called Maya. 

There is a nice example in the waning of the moon. To us the moon appears to be changing, but in fact the moon is always the same. So as eternal servitors of Krishna—our constitutional position—we fall down when we try to become the enjoyer, imitating Krishna. That is our downfall. 

Krishna is the Supreme Enjoyer, and we are constitutionally to be enjoyed by Him, and when we revive this constitutional position where is no more Maya. K.C. gives us the opportunity of rendering service to Krishna, and this service attitude only can replace us on our original position. 

Please therefore, continue to chant faithfully, and Krishna will reveal Himself, by His Causeless Mercy, and you will know everything automatically. I shall, of course always be ready and anxious to answer any question you have.
