Bollywood/Media attack on ISKCON

I was listening one prabhuji's lectures regarding How critical was media / bollywood and others were when Iskcon initially started expanding its movement in India, which was at that time literally flooded all the media/newspaper of the western countries by the grace of our legendary Acharya A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It just made me so sad that How this ignorant rascals tried to make the public image of this glorious movement, there own culture degraded.

First the Media started spreading that ISKCON is CIA agent

Back in the 1970s-80s it was claimed and even discussed in the Lok Sabha (Indian lower house of parliament) that ISKCON was a front for the CIA.

Then attack was by Bollywood's so-called famous Hero Dev-Anand who released a film "Hare Ram Hare Krishna" in 1971 most probably. Where they shown some hippies taking intoxication and doing illicit sex and chanting Hare-Krishna. See the limit !

Then recently another movie came "Dum Maro Dum " , again they made the re-make of Hare Krishna Mantra in an improper way.

There was a bengali film few years back where there was song of a "Lampatah" hero in Disco theque, where the song was " Krishna Korle lila-amra korle bila" means If Krishna doing rash-leela then it is divine play but when we do its become crime". See this imitation Krishna.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This slave minded rascals has tried/ still trying to degrade ISKCON and the foundation of this movement. They don't know Srila Prabhupada's sacrifice, his teachings. This media literally driving thousands of young mind in Indian society today. We should holds  each others shoulder strongly and propogate Srila Prabhupada's mission and bash this demoniac minded people, who doesn't even spare God and saintly persons to distort their image for some animalistic sense-gratification, Unforutunately today all the people of India are following them. Its really a shame for our culture

  • How can we forget sahijya song from lagan, radha teri... offensive song from student of year and dirty film blaspheming Bhakti "Omg"?

    WHy have people become such degraded?

    If I would have been sensor board manager, I would have not released 80% of bollywood songs which are lusty and sahajyi.

    Yes true, they are too materialistic. They want to make jokes on spirituality. Such rascals. As aspirants or devotees,w e can't let happen blasphemy happen or we must strongly condemn them by spreading Krsna consciousness and exposing cheaters like ravishankar.

    • CIA= (Lord) Chitanya's International Army !!
  • Dear Prabhuji,

                          You have raised a point that is crucial to the future growth of ISKCON in India. The Media is belonging to rich business houses and their existence is threatened by anything that brings in truth, religion,philosophy,revolutionary thinking, anything that goes against material life is a threat to the media, as their business houses will close down.They have believed that the masses can be fooled, but the advent of Srila Prabhupada in the west, spawned a movement so strong, forget about Indian masses, masses worldwide also began to start rethinking their life, and make spiritual progress. Srila Prabhupada single handedly challenged the world. After Gandhi, Srila Prabhupada has been the most important personality in the world, who has given a reason to live for millions of people, peacefully.This is something media does not want to acknowledge.Their poster heroes from the film world will be natutally downgraded if they accept Srila Prabhupada.

    I see this in a different light. Sure they blasphemed Iskcon and mahamantra, but think of all those ignorant fools who heard Hare, Rama, Krishna. They still get a little benefit from hearing these spiritual names.

    But we help those who can be helped. We try the ignorant like Lord Nityananda, but unlike Lord Nityananda, we are not pure, thus we do not repeatedly preach to them.

    A while back, our Indian govt seemed to not care about destroying Ram's seethu, because according to them, Lord Rama did not exist. Even in my college class, our TA told us that the Ramayana was a tale passed on orally of a prince and princess and their adventures, and over time some bits got cut out, while others were added. Lol. I was laughing so hard in my mind

    Just as a personal example. In college last year I tried progogating a little organization based on Prabhupadas teachings. I posted a little announcement on FB, and this other student, just tore down my post by criticizing it again and again... Even more, he wrote and posted a imitating thread that clearly denounced what I was saying. And it feels horrible when you want to rip his heart out for being rude and cruel, yet you don't do a thing because it isn't right... I did keep a happy mood, but ugh that fool...

    Besides, Arjuna, being a great devotee of Krishna is on our side, and so is the master of all senses too. And as Sanjaya says in the concluding parts of Gita, wherever there is Arjuna and Krishna there shall be victory!

     Now-a-days a serial is in the air, "Satyamev Jayate" host by Amir Khan. This verse appear in Mundaka upanisad

    satyameva jayate nānṛtaṁ
    satyena panthā vitato devayānaḥ |
    yenākramantyṛṣayo hyāptakāmā
    yatra tat satyasya paramaṁ nidhānam ||[3] 3.1.6

    Truth alone triumphs; not falsehood.
    Through truth the divine path is spread out by which
    the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled,
    reach where that supreme treasure of Truth resides.[4]

    See this Envious people, they take verses from Vedas to popularize themselves. This show talks about problem of life , monetary, relationships , court case, child labour and all other day to day problem. But instead of showing them the right path that is Krishna which the upanisad is talking about, they concoct their own materialistic way of solution and promot themselves and deluding innocent people. It is just unbearable and painful.

    even in my college of masters in journalism and communication my classmates used to laugh at me that i am in ISKCON. Sometimes talks used to be about chanting the Holy Names, and they used to say that God is in the heart and i serve to Him in my heart. I chant names in heart. And i will serve to the humanity no time for God....

    So every year such like students are released to media world and is there chance that media will become inclined towards Krishna??? Hope is less.

    And the main problem is ENVY. Saying that we have to hold our shoulders strongly and preach is the only way. 

    Things we can do:

    study ourselves well even material education and use it in Krishna's service.

    For example, in the future create our own movies compiled using the stories of Bhagavatam. 

    Also Krishna is sending so many nice singers so they can sign Maha Mantra in different even modern styles and attract world.

    -----------

    And one more thing: it says that dog barks even though caravan passes throe.

    We have to be tolerant and try to please Krishna who is in everyone's heart. 

    Your servant,

      Yes mataji, ENVY is the main thing.

      In my office, one of my devotee collegue was reading Krishna Dharma Prabhu's Mahabharata, so he just went outside kept the book on desk. So Here is a married couple in our office, somehow the book came in their view, the wife started saying, there is scientific reason for all events of Mahabharata, so there must be some scientific reason for Draupadi's Bastra-Haran lila. I then said clothes was supplied by Lord Krishna and it is not concievable within our limited thinking capacity, they just not give a ear to that sentence, when I said Krishna can do anything as ignorant they are, they again dwells on the theory that there must be some scientific explanation of that unlimited Sari supply to Draupadi. See how envious they are , though they have passed out from very good colleges. They read Mahabharata to negate Krishna from it. They get  pleasure in giving some mentally concocted meaning to the verse of Vedic literature which according to them is scientific.

      This is called brain-washing by modern Education, where they just removed God from their life. These are the youth of society.

      Your aspiring servant

    Even supreme court drag Radha-Krishna's example to prove live-in relationships. Why these rascals are in India, what is the value of their so-called degree, who has no vedantic tradition. Why they drag God/saintly persons when they know nothing about God, no knowledge of Vedanta.
