Prabhupada: BUT I THINK I SHALL BE CURED. [BY THE PARIKRAMA].Conversation Nov. 1977

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Founder/Acharya of the International Sociey of Krishna Consiousness Final Orders Denied by "Senior Disciples" and Identifying "Ravana" and to stay with is "Suicide"

The awful truth is that Srila Prabhupada has had a desire to take part in "Simple Living/High Thinking" for many many years, it is a "continuous order" for us to follow. But during the final days of his manifest to material vision mission, he demanded, wished, pleaded and argued with his leading disciples, to assist him to again take part in "Simple Living/High Thinking". Giving his final order to go on Parikrama to Govardhana Hill, on Govardhana Puja Day travelling in a Bullock Cart. But the disciples did not fulfill that order. Below are some excerpts and after is  a link to get the final days transcripts.

Prabhupada: And therefore I say, (laughs) DON'T KEEP ME LOCKED UP. You do your duty as I have trained you and LET ME BE FREE

Prabhupada: ALL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS SUBMISSION AND LET ME GO! [On Parikrama in Bullock cart to Govardhana Hill on Govardhana Puja day]

Prabhupada: I wish that you GBC manage very nicely and consider I am dead and LET ME TRAVEL TO ALL THE TIRTHASTHANA. Without any responsibility. If I become recovered from this malady I shall come back and then I shall die in, what is it when the dead body is there, let them bring to Mayapura and Vrndavana. I am thinking in this way. Bring little medicine and no medicine, little milk, and travel one place to another and if there is death, what is the lamentation? My age is ripe. IN THE OPEN AIR AND BULLOCK CART or during daytime, eh? Or you can say semi-suicide, although living what consider me dead for the time. You manage and nowadays there is in India ample sunshine.

SO DURING THE DAYTIME I SHALL TRAVEL AND NIGHTTIME YOU MAKE A CAMP UNDER A TREE. IN THIS WAY LET ME TRAVEL TO ALL THE TIRTHAS. I AM THINKING IN THIS WAY. What is your opinion?

Bhavananda: Srila Prabhupada, we promise that we'll manage everything to the best of our ability.

Prabhupada: No, no, you are managing, I know, but you are all important men and unnecessarily you are bound up. YOU CANNOT GO. So Lokanatha party has got some experience and LET ME GO. In India the climate is now good. If I recover, it is very good. You know. So what is the wrong? If I die, then the body will be brought either in Vrndavana or Mayapura, that's all. And if I live, it will be a great end of a life. You are all experienced.

Jayapataka: As much as you have trained us, Srila Prabhupada, that is only how much we are experienced. We don't want that you be burdened any more with material management problems but...

Prabhupada: No, not from that point of view. WHAT IS THE USE OF LYING DOWN HERE?

Jayapataka: The kaviraja said that even that your body is going to, is got a life of six to ten years but he said EVEN A HEALTHY COW, IF IT'S KEPT LOCKED UP INSIDE OF A ROOM, THEN IT WILL DETERIOATE. [Srila Prabhupada's Vrndavana quarters are sandwiched between the huge Krishna-Balarama temple on one side and the towering multi-story guest house on the other. The only side which is open is covered by the high boundary walls of the temple. There's no air circulation, no light, no sun... A horrible, dark, stuffy and claustrophobic room...]

Prabhupada: And therefore I say, (laughs) DON'T KEEP ME LOCKED UP. You do your duty as I have trained you and LET ME BE FREE and if money required, he'll come and take and go back again as he is coming to take book.

TODAY AT PROTECTACOW 2.18.07

Prabhupada: ALL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS SUBMISSION AND LET ME GO! (771108rc.vrn)

They have got experience Indian, you can go village to village and, arrangement as you may, but it is trouble taken, and I am no longer, you manage. If I live, I can come again. I shall be very glad.

Devotee: Previously it was mentioned that there was some risk in travelling.

Prabhupada: What is that risk? Nowadays THERE IS NO RISK. What is the risk? Mm?

Devotee: Well from the medical point of view it's something with the organs or something, I don't know exactly but it's been considered.

Prabhupada: THIS IS MY PROPOSAL and...

Jayapataka: That would be after you gained some strength, Srila Prabhupada?

Prabhupada: Yes. If I [WILL GAIN STRENGTH WITH] FREE AIR AND FREE MOVEMENT WITH SUNSHINE and I can come back again in a year.

Jayapataka: You will be translating while you're travelling?

Prabhupada: No, yes and no.

Bhavananda: I think it's good idea, Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: HA!

Bhavananda: Only factor at this point is not to take any unnecessary risk.

Prabhupada: No. As I think free, so I remain. Mm. Then when I am sane man, I shall come back again either Mayapura or Vrndavana or Bombay, any other.

Jayapataka: You would travel by a minibus.

Prabhupada: Mm?

Jayapataka: You would travel by a bus.

Prabhupada: THAT YOU THINK OF.

Bhavananda: We will all sit down and discuss the different arrangements that have to be made, plans that have to be made. It's a very nice idea. Real sannyasa life.

Prabhupada: Yes. Mm. You have tried doctor, kaviraja, medicine, everything.

EVERYTHING HAS FAILED. Now SUPPOSE I AM TAKING THE RISK OF DEATH, WHAT IS WRONG? When the..., I am dead you go India, within India, you go and bring the body either in Mayapura or Vrndavana. Mayapura the land is already there. Vrndavana I think on the gate side, that's all. That's wherever you like you'll do.

Jayapataka: This kaviraja assures that by taking little milk frequently during the day...

Prabhupada: I will take milk. Milk is available everywhere. (laughter) I SHALL TAKE LITTLE MILK AND SLEEP, THAT'S ALL. IF I LIVE THAT'S ALL RIGHT. IF I DON'T LIVE, THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

Bhavananda: Very nice program. We can all accompany you at different times of the month.

Prabhupada: Yes. NOT VERY MANY, but you can come and go back.

Jayapataka: Which holy places you would like to visit, Srila Prabhupada?

Prabhupada: India is full of holy places.

Jayapataka: Krsna-lila, Mahaprabhu-lila.

Prabhupada: And gradually you go to Mayapura. Is someone here?

Tamala Krsna: Yes, Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: I...

Bhavananda: HE HAS HEARD EVERYTHING...

Prabhupada: Mm.

Jayapataka: By you going to the holy places, you will purify the holy places.

Prabhupada: There are two things, life or death. So if I die where is the wrong? And if there is death, that is natural.

Jayapataka: For you Srila Prabhupada, to be alive or to die is no different because you are in the transcendental position, but for us when you leave the body then we are bereft of your association. So for us it is very unfortunate.

Prabhupada: Then LIVE BY MY WORDS, BY MY TRAINING. Mm. (pause) SO YOU LIKE THIS IDEA? Mm?

Hamsaduta: I liked it.

Prabhupada: Oh. (pause) Most places you beg from the local place and subsist, otherwise purchase.

Jayapataka: You are very famous, Srila Prabhupada, wherever you go there will be crowds of people to have your darsana.

Prabhupada: So they will see me, I have no objection. I want little milk from them, that's all. (pause) So far my presence is required (for) management, I think I have bequeathed, properly you can manage. Hm. IT IS TO BE ADMITTED FAILURE, THE SO-CALLED MEDICAL TREATMENT, FAILURE. (pause)

Jayapataka: I'll be back to say that you defy all medical laws. Sometimes you become very weak and sometimes you become immediately strong. (pause)

Devotee: Giriraja.

Prabhupada: Oh.

Giriraja: Because, I mean, I don't have any faith in the doctors or their treatments because they're never working and ultimately it depends on Krsna and Krsna is everywhere. He can exercise His will in any condition and you know, as you say, that if you go out and if you recover then it's very good.

And even otherwise, I mean if that is the decision of Lord Krsna, then this is a very glorious way. (pause)

Prabhupada: ALL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS SUBMISSION AND LET ME GO! (end) (771108rc.vrn)
