On the Left-Side for Computers, Laptops, and Tablets; and on the Left Menu Section; and for Smart-Phones on the Top Half Sectionof the Website Contents Page. You will see a Heading-Title “9 Featured Presentations”. These presentations are the reason for the resurrection of this Website, which stopped functioning in the summer of 2005, and was taken off the internet in 2013. This resurrection is meant to facilitate the organization of, un-organized persons, websites, and other entities which have propped up on the internet, in the last 45 years, and which tried to deal with the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada, in one way or another.
The First 4 Presentations are;
- A Treatise “Moving Forward” A Case for the Reconstitution of Srila Prabhupada’s Mission?
- Srila Prabhupada Antya-lila: The Last Six Months, Was He Systematically Poisoned?
- What Is The Eternal, Constitutional Function Of The Soul? Compiled From Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s Jaiva-dharma (1896), without the Thakur’s Novel and Stories.
Number 1 is a first Edition, and more than likely, will extensively change in the years to come, for its contents are ment to be dynamic, in order to accommodate like minded devotees, and the principle of “Desa-Kala-Patra”; According to Time, Atmosphere, and the Performer, as spcified by Srila Prabhupada, and which is known on this Planet Earth, as “Time, Place, and Circumstance”. This Presentation is currently a Book, (350 plus pages of an MS Word Document),. Nevertheless, it has been broken down into Five Sections, so far containing 96 Segments in total. Segments 1 to 92 have been completed, and Segments 93 to 96, are yet to be written, and may go beyond a total of 100. The plan is that they will be completed sometime in the latter half of 2023. I have been writting this piece since 2009.
It is expected, that once you start reading the Treatise “Moving Forward”, as you read each Segment, you may be stimulating to say something, speak your mind, so to speak; and your comments, questions, and thoughts will be very much welcomed. There is a “Coomment” facility, at the end of each Segment.
The manuscripts for Number 2 and 3 are only partially complete, and will be finished sometime in the latter half of 2024. These 2 presentations are manuscripts, which when completed, will be Large Books, in the range of 600 to 900 pages.
Number 2 is very special, in which you will read, never before published testimony, memoirs of mostly rank-and-file Srila Prabhupada disciples, and followers, who tell us of their personal association and experience with Srila Prabhupada, during his last 6 months on this Planet Earth. Many wonderful pastimes associating with Srila Prabhupada; and ending with the tragic events leading up to his last breath of Earth’s atmosphere, in Vrindavana. These tape-recorded interviews were transcribed, using Type-Writers in the mid-1980’s. These transcripts, were supposed to be used in the writing of the book Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta. The writer, being one of the 11 unscrupulous Srila Prabhupada disciples, who hi-jacked Srila Prabhupada’s mission, in order to facilitate their own and collective personal vested interests, did not use any of these transcribed interviews in writing the Lilamrta; he only relied on his personal dairy, and those of a select few so called “big-leaders” of ISKCON.

The facilitator of this Website has possession of these typed transcriptions, which have a very interesting story, that you can read in the Introduction to this presentation.
Number 3, is The Nature & Constitutional Position of the Jiva/Soul: Compiled From Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur’s Jaiva-dharma (1896), without the Thakur’s Novel & Stories, which he used as a vehicle, to convey to the Population of India at of the 1800’s, the Gaudiya Vaisnavas philosophy, and superlative knowledge regarding the nature of the human soul. It is only the first 25 chapters, because after that, it is my understanding that one should not read further without proper qualification. This presentation is suitable for anyone who has not achieved the perfection of chanting the holy names of Krishna. After reading this presentation, you will come to understand that further chapters are meant only for those who chant the holy name purely, without committing any of the 10 offences to chanting the holy names of Krishna.
Presentation Number 4, is the famous book that addressed “The Origin of the Jiva Controversy”, that occurred in ISKCON Vrindavana in 1996
- In Vaikuntha Not Even the Leaves Fall.
Finally, the remaining 5 presentations, Numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, are the integral components, of a body of works originally written in the mid-1990’s in Vrindavana India, and which was known, in the original version of the Saragrahi.org website as, “Aspects of Vaisnava Theory and Practice”. These works deal with, explain and give information on two aspects.
“What Happened to ISKCON, and Why.”
And,
“How to Prevent it From Happening Again.”
These 5 are entitled:
- Raising Our Spiritual Standards
- Varieties of Dysfunctional Experience.
- Faith, the Analytical Mind, and the Uttama Adhikari.
- The Heart of Reform.
- A Treatise on The “Three Modes of Material Nature”
