PADA: Wow pilgrims. Krishna's leaving the planet was really a huge transition into our Kali age. Already symptoms of Kali were starting to take over even when He was present. It is going downhill fast ever since.
After Krishna left, people lost their potency. It seems after Srila Prabhupada left, the same things happened, people became weak and unable to fight against injustice. Buddhimanta told me he could not distribute books any more, he told me he lost his touch. He lost his potency. Yep.
There are many lessons here. The children who mocked the sages ended up causing the destruction of their entire clan. Lesson here? One must be very careful not to mock or minimize the sages. Or be sitting in their vyasa seats while drinking Vodka and having affairs. That will cause destruction, and the process of minimizing the sages caused the destruction of ISKCON as well, and in turn, many of its citizens.
Even the people not involved in mocking the sages were afflicted, just like everyone in ISKCON was afflicted by the faults of a few. Anyway I find the whole scenario of Krishna leaving to be very sad personally. Makes me wanna cry. It is a tragic event. And Srila Prabhupada's departure is not any different, another tragic event. Perhaps more tragic because while Krishna can defend Himself, an elderly sadhu will not have that capacity.
The lesson here for me overall, no one can challenge the authority of Krishna, it never ends well and never will end well. Challenging Krishna makes life hard for everyone and that is why there is only one solution -- we have to get back to our original home in Vaikuntha.
Being in the material world is ALWAYS trouble, even if we are in the leela of Krishna here, there will be unpleasant side show events taking place -- because that is the nature of the material world. I just hope -- and pray -- I have learned not to challenge the authority of the Supreme Being. Yep -- never ends well. And this video shows all sorts of examples. I cannot say all this video is fully accurate, but it gives the general idea. ys pd
