Srila Prabhupada's Poison Complaint (2 Volume Set)

Henry Doktorski

I just started looking through these two new beautiful hardcover books, "Srila Praphupada's Hidden Glories," Vols 1 and 2. Very impressive! A veritable encyclopedia--each over 800 pages--of ISKCON history.

The books (the first two volumes of a proposed 12-volume series) were compiled and edited by our friend Nityananda dasa ACBSP, currenty living in Thailand, although it's not easy to tell, as he doesn't credit himself as author on the title page (as usual), but mentions this fact only in a disclaimer on page iii. He tells me the actual author is Prabhupada Truth Commission, a panel of 10 older devotees who worked together on the project.

I began reading through the sections dealing with ISKCON history which I am already familiar with, such as the zonal acharya era of ISKCON, and I must admit I'm learning about new facts and events which I was previously unaware. Extremely well documented and researched. 
Certainly these two volumes are the result of many years of a labor of love on Nityananda's part. He is dedicated to his spiritual master, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and wishes to know the actual facts of ISKCON history and share them with others. 
Get these books! You only have to pay for postage. The books are a gift to all those following in Prabhupada's line. Order from 
krishnafaq@yahoo.com or buyunique@yahoo.com.
[PADA: Lots of people like the book "Killing for Krishna." Lots of people do not like the same book. Meanwhile! Lots of people never write any history of any type anywhere ever themselves, but they like to armchair advise others. 
"Write this and not that"! OK are you going to stick your neck out and write something yourself? Didn't think so! I am the original person who bought out "the poison tapes" and that is because -- no one else could or would. Could not be bothered. If you can present the history better than us, then go for it! Everyone has the same freedom of speech we do!
