    "I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, who is very dear to Lord Kåñëa, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. Our respectful obeisances are unto you, O spiritual master, servant of Bhaktisiddhänta Sarasvaté Gosvämé. You are kindly preaching the message of Lord Caitanyadeva and delivering the Western countries, which are filled with impersonalism and voidism."

    In Buddha religion they don't believe in God. "Yes. There is no soul. There is no God." That is Buddhist theory. Çünyavädi. "Everything void. Make void." Buddha philosophy is that "These bodily pains and pleasure are due to the combination of matter." This body, this gross body, or the subtle body, is made of physical matters: earth, water, air, fire, and ether, and mind, intelligence, ego. These are gross and subtle matters. So Buddha philosophy is that "Due to the combination of this matter, we are feeling pains and pleasure. So everyone is trying to eradicate all kinds of pains. That is the struggle for existence. So these pains will be automatically mitigated if you break this combination." That is Buddha... Nirväëa. That is called nirväëa. Break. Just like this house is combination of several material thing. Now, when it is broken... You have seen, so many houses have been dismantled. There is no more house. And as soon as there is no more house, there is no question of living or feeling pains or pleasure. That is Buddha philosophy.

    This bogus dalai lama is voidist and this socalled Akshay patra is Vaishnava edition of Ramakrishna Mutt feeding the poor.. daridra narayana seva...
    which is nothing but deviation of BRAHMA MADHVA GAUDIYA VAISHNAVA SAMPRADAYA...simply taking one quote of srila prabhupada relationg to 'no one should go hungry within 10 mile radius of temple' - and changing the whole tenor of movement, mood and Mission of movement from Spreading Krishna consciousness through Bhagavad gita as it is and Bhagavatam and there by neglecting many many many quotes of srila prabhupada of Chanting , Reading His books, Book Distribution, following 4 regulative principles (by the way Dalai lama favorite food is RED Meat ie pork beef monkey etc). preaching to scientists, atheists, rejecting rascal bogus gurus ( sri sri ravi shankar,etc) preaching to hindus, muslims christians, which will change the whole course of the world form kuntha to vaikuntha.....people know iskcon as another hindu temple .. and social working organisation... SEE ALL PRABHUPADA BOOKS AND NO QUOTE U WILL FIND TO FEED POOR - MID DAY MEALS .. U made KRSNA SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD a cartoon character by releasing little Krishna...People consider Krsna as another cartoon character like ben 10, tom and jerry, micky mouse, he man etc...which is an offence to Srila prabhupada and
    Krsna....if u dare speak straight forwardly as per what prabhupada said in his books then will u get this fame in public...if u want to have puja labha pratista...u have to compromise.. and u r doing...these pics are proof.. no vaishnava will see even the face of buddhists or mayavadi...u hear Lecture of Srila prabhupada when he was invited at kumbhamela...prabhupada smashed mayavad and sunyavad...we are simply fools trying do something different than Srila prabhupada which is a defiance to Srila prabhupada...
