On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada s Service was written for the perusal of all members of Srila Prabhupada s ISKCON, especially for devotees who feel impelled to follow Srila Prabhupada s example of preaching Krsna s message in a strong, clear, provocative manner. Speaking Strongly is particularly for those who maintain Srila Prabhupada s vision of ISKCON as a revolutionary movement with a mission to change society, to rouse people to think about life s important questions, and to get them to embrace the only permanent solution to life s problems: Krishna consciousness. In Speaking Strongly, Bhakti Vikasa Swami submits hundreds of quotes wherein Srila Prabhupada indicates that his followers should speak strongly for the benefit of the world and not shy away from embracing the uncompromising, realistic style of sastra, which presents not vague notions such as spreading-love, but solutions to the undeniable problems of material existence, and is especially relevant to the disastrous condition of human society today. Taking a holistic and practical approach, Bhakti Vikasa Swami carefully examines the pros and cons of speaking strongly under various circumstances.. Drawing on almost fourty years of personal experience, the author discusses issues such as: - Who is qualified to speak strongly? - When should strong speech be used? - Is the strong preacher a fanatic? - Is strong speaking contrary to humility? - When and how should tact be employed? The ultimate merit of On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada s Service is that it reminds the reader of what ISKCON is supposed to be a distinct, vital spiritual movement and offers a philosophical basis from which to help restore ISKCON to its original glory."

Sulocana Prabhu was murdered May 22nd, 1986, 1:00 a.m., Los Angeles, two days after compiling his book "THE GURU BUSINESS", which describes how the Leaders of the Hare Krishna movement deviated from the pure path as taught and exemplified by its founder, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Sulocana was one of the first devotees to realize the complete hoax of the GBC policy to rubber-stamp eleven unqualified personalities as the exclusive 'diksa-guru' successors to Srila Prabhupada in 1977. Let us be quite clear that this policy was an unqualified lie as to the intentions of Srila Prabhupada post-samadhi 1977. As the eleven self-declared gurus "paramhamsa-parivakacaryas" established their zonal power centers by initiating anyone in sight and throwing out of ISKCON even the most slightly dissenting godbrothers, Sulocana researched Srila Prabhupada's statements and fearlessly wrote a book exposing this fraud in the name of disciplic succession. From his research he also realized the trouble Kirtanananda had been causing Srila Prabhupada right from the time of his sannyasa. This was pertinent, as Sulocana had lost his wife when Kirtanananda had maniplulated her away, initiated her, and married her away to one of his money collectors at New Vrndavana. Sulocana also came to know of the sexual and otherwise corruption that was rife amongst practically all the "exclusive eleven". Moreover, Kirtanananda in New Vrndavana was living a hypocritical life as an active predatory homosexual pedophile, simultaneously taking worship as a paramahamsa. "The Guru Business" was the first realistic and comprehensive view of the topic false gurus, based on quotes given by Srila Prabhupada. PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK (by Sulocana dasa) 1) It must be revealed to the world exactly who Srila Prabhupada is and how he has nothing whatsoever to do with the corruption going on amongst ISKCON's leaders today. 2) There is a crying need to increase and even rekindle love for Prabhupada from his own disciples. To a large extent, they have left Prabhupada's mission out of frustration and discouragement. 3) An effort should be made to clean up ISKCON and remove the influence of personally motivated leaders. In other words, we should fully awaken the devotees to the politics and duplicity going on behind the facade. 4) There is now a new imperative to inspire married couples to be bold and go out to open temples. This was Srila Prabhupada's desire from the beginning. "Anyone who has read The Guru Business will have at once felt the powerful and illuminating clarity in the words of Sulocana prabhu. The way in which he has strung together Prabhupada's words, like pearls on the thread of his own amazing realizations, came from his total surrender to the instruction of Srila Prabhupada. Sulocana prabhu was prepared to die rather than not execute Prabhupada's mission properly. Because of this faith not only did the Lord manifest Prabhupada's previously hidden letters to Sulocana but he revealed their purport in his heart." Mukunda dasa from Killing For Keith, Chapter Seven. "Sulocana prabhu, you totally abandoned all personal considerations and sacrificed your life to expose the demoniac activities of these rogues and nondevotees and their apa-siddhantic philosophy. Such a perfect disciple as yourself, who fought so bravely to take serious charge of Prabhupada's mission and execute it correctly, has surely seen the Supreme Personality of Godhead and become liberated back to Godhead, or at least you have become an exalted soul on a heavenly planet. "Mukunda dasa - Foreword to The Guru Business - March 2020

Who can have a clearer vision of a great spiritual teacher than his personal servant? The servant lives with the guru, and is with the guru in all public and private moments. It is an exceptional vantage point from which to experience a great saint. Srutakirti dasa spent over two years in the personal service one of the most influential, charismatic, spiritual personalities in the history of the world: A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder/Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. At the age of Seventy, when people think of retiring and sitting at home peacefully with family; Srila Prabhupada set sail from India to America to bring the whole world under one roof-creating a global spiritual family. His journey of limitless compassion is very beautifully summarized in this book of meditations by Srutakirti dasa. Srila Prabhupada was a true Acharya-teaching by example, living the life he taught others to live. Srutakirti dasa allows us to enter the world Srila Prabhupada and gives us access to many public and private pastimes.
