An Unparalelled Body Of Work


The translations of Vedic Literature by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder and Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, represent the most voluminous content attributed to the great Vedic Culture by any one person in the English Language. In twelve years His Divine Grace made translations and commentaries on over eighty volumes of Vedic Literature especially representing the Gaudiya Vaisnava Siddhanta or conlusions. In addition to the translation and commentaries, he gave numerous (over 2000) recorded lectures, room conversations, morning walks, addresses, etc. The majority of these have been transcribed and are available to view. There are an estimated 500 hours of tape that has yet to be transcribed and made public
Prabhupada (as he is respectfully known) directly challenged the face of the modern materialistic society, and spoke directly to many of the social ills faced in modern society. He challenged science, society and social norms, political positions, religion, atheism, etc backed with the virtual encyclopedia of Vedic knowledge with which he was fully conversant. His uncompromising position has struck a cord in the face of populism and the status quo. And undoubtedly this has enraged those who profit from their individual or collective biases. Many of his opinions (the Vedic version) may appear to be thus controversial and politically incorrect. We will attempt here to show, and counter, the apparent and incredible bias and dis-information/mis-information, historical inaccuracies, and vile propaganda lobbied against the actual Vedic truth or Siddhanta. The vitriol and obvious propaganda directed against his Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Your Ever Well Wisher, has escalated into an organized and systematic targeted propaganda. It is our attempt here to expose, discredit and counter this errant, obvious propaganda against His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and the Vedic Conclusions he effectively represented.
