Prabhupada : ...when we forget this philosophy, that Krsna is the supreme father, Krsna is the supreme proprietor, Krsna is the supreme enjoyer and Krsna is the supreme friend of everyone. When you forget this, then we come into this material world and struggle for existence, fight with one another. This is material life. So you cannot get... The politicians, diplomats, philosophers, they have tried so much, but actually nothing has become fruitful. Just like the United Nations. It was organized after the second great war, and they wanted that peacefully we shall settle everything. But there is no such thing. The fighting is going on between Pakistan and India, between Vietnam and America, and this and that. It is not the process. The process is Krsna consciousness. Everyone has to understand this fact, that we are not proprietor. Proprietor is Krsna. That's a fact. Just like America. Say two hundred years ago the Americans, the European migrators, they were not proprietor--somebody was proprietor. Before them, somebody was proprietor or it was vacant land. The actual proprietor is Krsna. But artificially you are claiming that "It is my property." Janasya moho 'yam aham mameti. This is called maya.
So Krsna advents for give us lesson. Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata. Krsna says, "My dear Arjuna, I come when there is discrepancies in the process of religious life." Dharmasya glanir bhavati. And what is dharma? The simple definition of dharma is dharmam tu saksad bhagavat- pranitam. This is dharma. Dharmam tu saksad bhagavat-pranitam. Just like what do you mean by law? Law means the word given by the state. You cannot make law at home. That is not possible. Whatever the government gives you, that "You should act like this," that is law. Similarly, dharma means the direction given by God. That is dharma. Simple definition. You create dharma. I have created this dharma, another man creates another dharma; these are not dharma. Therefore, where the Bhagavad-gita ends, that sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam, this is dharma--to surrender to Krsna. Any other dharma, they are not dharma. Otherwise, why Krsna asks sarva-dharman parityajya: "Give up"? He said that dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge: "I advent to establish the principles of religion." And at last He says, sarva-dharman parityajya. That means the so-called dharmas that we have manufactured, man-made dharmas, they are not dharmas. Dharma means what is given by God. But we have no understanding what is God and what is His word. That is the modern civilization defect. But the order is there, God is there--we won't accept. Where is the possibility of peace? The order is there. Krsna says, the Supreme, bhagavan uvaca. Vyasadeva writes bhagavan uvaca. One should know what is bhagavan. Vyasadeva could have written krsna uvaca. No. He says... If one may misunderstand Krsna, therefore he writes in every stanza, every verse, sri bhagavan uvaca. So Bhagavan is there. Bhagavan is speaking. Bhagavan is accepted by all the acaryas. Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Visnusvami. Latest, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu also, even Sankaracarya, he also accepts Krsna--sa bhagavan svayam krsna. So the verdict of the modern acaryas, and in the past also, Vyasadeva, Narada, Asita, everyone accepted Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Arjuna, who heard from Krsna, after understanding Bhagavad-gita, he said, param brahma param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan purusam adyam sasvatam.

After looking at these statements I bet not one of you has been in combat, thus the stupidity of the comments. First, there is a time to take prisoners and a time you just don't. Second concerning the atomic bombs on "fishing villages" why are you folks wasting your time answering this idiot? Finally, having served in combat as an Army paratrooper with the 101st. Abn. Division 'Screaming Eagles' in Vietnam and Cambodia I pray none of you will ever experience it.

20 Million Soviet soldiers died during the war, not including the captured. The Russian's only saving grace was their numbers and the Winter. If the United States did not Enter, the Russians would have been annihilated by the end of the second year.
Do the math.
The United States kept it's prisoners alive and well. Russia tortured and executed almost all of them. Communist country, remember. Money is more then life, as any good communist would say.

Yes... the american are perfect...

@ZoReKgRf
The Russians killed most of their prisoners... To say the Russians held prisoners is wrong. they were communist. and the ones they did hold they tortured. :/
Also, Japan destroyed the entire Russian Navy. The Russians used US supplies, oil, food, practically everything. Russians barely made it through the first half.
UScentric is a stupid word. you're just jealous. :P like every European country. >:/
ZoReKgRf (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
The US did not hold 99% of Axis prisoners. By far the largest number were taken by the Russians facing the largest concentration of Axis forces (6 divisions for every one the US faced), on the Eastern Front. The largest and bloodiest battles were fought there, so please get of your UScentric 'we won the war' deal and learn some facts about WW2.

The Japs were extremely to the POWs (Chinese, American, British...), they placed POWs (and even many Chinese civillians) to crude medical experiments in order to develope biological weapons to kill more innocent people (google Unit 731)

@VonCakeMaster It is true most Allies treated there prisoners well. But the Americans did actually brake the Geneva Convention. It was called the Dauchua massacre. US soldiers killed surrenduring SS troops and guards. So, I am not trying to make you angry but we sadly broke the Geneva Convention.

There were military installations targeted. Do your research instead of hatemongering. Why do you just focus on the US dropping the atomic bombs. You act like the Japanese were victims. They started the war. The killed MILLIONS of civilians for fun. Literally Japanese soldiers had contests to see how many civilians they could kill. It is documented. You're just another pathetic anti-american scumbag that conveniently forgets history to trash talk the US.

@420Guitar420
Nice job dodging the point I was trying to make. It goes to the very core of the Debate and that is why you are shrugging it off, because you know I am right.
If the Japanese are willing to kill themselves to win the war then any one of them would gladly sacrifice their body parts or organs if told to do so by their Emperor.
NOBODY was playing nice for the sake of playing nice. We dropped not 1 but 2 nuclear bombs on fishing villages with eldery and kids.
VonCakeMaster (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Prisoners held by the Allies were rarely treated badly. in fact, their living conditions and food were better then anything they had when they were serving in their militaries.
Anyone who thinks that the United States (which held 99% of all prisoners) mistreated soldiers like our enemies did is badly mistaken. Do your research and you will know that the US was the only country to actually follow the rules set by the Geneva convention!
bashers of the United States are uninformed idiots. |
