I have been reading for a while a website exposing the real views of the late founder of the big, international Hare Krishna movement, Prabhupada (1896-1977).
An active supporter and friend of Pradhupada (see also further below) was former Beatle George Harrison, whose hit “My Sweet Lord” about Krishna was a top song in in 1970:
The temple he built in Tirupathi, India. The Hare Krishnas (Wiki) “as of 2017 are a worldwide confederation of more than 850 temples and centres, including 60 farm communities, some aiming for self-sufficiency, 50 schools, and 90 restaurants.[14] Its most rapid expansions in membership as of 2007 have been within India and, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe.”
Prabhupada’s meditation center in Vrindavana. The Hare Krishnas had difficulties, schisms and some scandals after their charismatic founder died, but this happens in all religions – and all political movement, too. Think of how the WN “National Alliance” steeply declined after Dr. Pierce died in 2002.

I admit that Prabhupada’s slightly negroid features, at first, put me off.
But Adolf Hitler was not as handsome as a movie star, either.
Such things can also be a test of how superficial you are, especially if you forget — in appropriate humility — how many utterly rotten Whites there are out there…
Senator John McCain
Pedophile English tv star Jimmy Savile and prime minister Tony Blair
… and also whites who are not directly evil, but do almost nothing against evil.
There are sins of commission (by the very few who are thoroughly rotten), and then the Himalayan mountain range of sins of OMISSION — of which the huge majority in all races is quite guilty….. silently, selfishly going along without protest.
No, “white” unfortunately does not always equal “Aryan” (meaning, in Sanskrit, “NOBLE”)!
Like all Hindu gurus, Pradhupada was also, and naturally, highly aware that ancient white Aryans founded the Hindu culture of their native India.
Among the Jains, a branch of Hinduism, the Swastika is even their symbol!

Interesting about Prabhupada:
Born Abhay Charan De in Calcutta, he was educated at the Scottish Church College in Calcutta.[6]
Before adopting the life of a pious renunciant (vanaprastha) in 1950,[7] he was married with children and owned a small pharmaceutical business.[8][9]
[…] He has been described as a charismatic leader, in the sense used by sociologist Max Weber, as he was successful in acquiring followers in the United States, Europe, India and elsewhere.[16][17][18]
He received a European-led education in the Scottish Church College, which was well reputed among Bengalis; many Vaishnava families sent their sons there. The professors, most of whom were Europeans, were known as sober, moral men, and it is believed that the students received a good education.
The college was located in north Calcutta, near the De’s family home on Harrison Road.
During his years in the college, Abhay Charan De (অভয়চরণ দে) was a member of the English Society as well as that of the Sanskrit Society, and it has been suggested that his education provided him a foundation for his future leadership.[8][21]
He graduated in 1920 with majors in English, philosophy and economics.[22]
[…] his Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is was published by Macmillan Publishers, in 1968 and unabridged edition in 1972,[58][59][60] and is now available in over sixty languages around the world and some other books by Bhaktivedanta Swami are available in over eighty different languages.[26][49] In February 2014, ISKCON’s news agency reported to have reached a milestone of distributing over half a billion books authored by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, since 1965.[19]
Here is one good article: http://truth.prabhupada.org.uk/why-a-powerful-national-socialistic-movement-will-arise-in-america
The beloved Beatle George Harrison, as stated above, was a big fan of the Hare Krishna movement and message.
(Krishna is believed to have been, like Jesus, a literal incarnation of God on this earth. Blue-gray-skinned, highly advanced human aliens are well-known, btw, in ufology, as are even red-skinned human aliens.
Krishna, with blue-gray skin, and one of his Aryan female lovers. Astonishingly, a submerged city that he ruled, once located off the western coast of India — back in the Ice Age, when the ice caps were much bigger, and the whole world was cooler, and when the coastline was 200 feet deeper — has actually been found. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarka); scroll down halfway here: http://www.earthporm.com/5-mind-blowing-underwater-cities/
Humans are found all over the Milky Way galaxy, and are not just white-skinned, or rosy-pink, brown, yellow and black.)
Govinda by Harrison and a choir at the Hare Krishna temple in London — a truly beautiful chant that will make anyone happy!
In this article, however, the author gets quite specific about how Prabhupada saw Hitler — as an evolving man who would keep on growing from warlord to spiritual giant.
(This is also called a chakravarti, or universal ruler, and what the ancient Greek genius Plato called a “philosopher-king.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakravarti_(Sanskrit_term)
Here was a key article:
http://truth.prabhupada.org.uk/why-did-prabhupada-say-hitler-would-be-master-of-the-universe
(I edited below for greater comprehensibility the words of Prabhupada, whose native language was, of course, not English.)
“Napoleon came [to create] solutions, Hitler came [to create] solutions, Gandhi [also] came [to create] solutions, but when Napoleon [after invading Russia] was offered a horse’s urine [to drink] instead of water, he could not [come up with] any [other] solution.
*** excerpt from page 90 0f Napoleon Bonaparte, by Elaine Landau
***
When Gandhi was [shot] to death, he could no [longer] create solutions.
And [yet] they were leaders [born to create] solutions.
What they can do?
Every one of them is under the strict laws of nature. As nature chooses to do, they have to submit.
And so what can they do? They are not independent.
Nobody knows where Hitler is.
Such a great man…
He hid [in 1945] or he killed himself. Something was done, but nobody knows.
And one day he [Adolf Hitler] will become the master of the whole universe.
This is [1972] now going on.
[Prabhupada Morning Walk, May 17, 1975, Perth, Australia]
Btw, a former employee of the Maharishi University of Management in Iowa who later worked for me told me that, privately, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whom the Beatles highly admired, was quietly also a huge Hitler fan.
John Lennon, I know, on one occasion let the Jews have it:
John Lennon of the Beatles on Judaism; James Fetzer book “So I suppose we never went to the moon”
.
Excerpt:
Post-World War II Liverpool, the Beatles’hometown, was generally very anti-Semitic and Lennon was known to make impromptu anti-Semitic comments; for example, he was aggravated by the number of Jews involved in the Beatles’ financial affairs, and commented that
“show business [known for its financial crookedness and exploitation of goy work and talent] is an extension of the Jewish religion.”
Much to the chagrin of George Martin, the Beatles’ producer, when the band was recording “Baby You’re a Rich Man,” Lennon persisted in singing
“Baby, you’re a rich Jew.”
John was observed walking around his hotel suite with his finger to his lip, mustache-style, pretending he was Hitler, and he would occasionally offer a Nazi salute to crowds. [David Bowie did something similar in his motorcade once, as did Elvis.]

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was the Indian guru who first met The Beatles in 1967. They became fascinated by his techniques of Transcendental Meditation, and in 1968 visited the Maharishi’s spiritual training camp in Rishikesh, India.
He was born Mahesh Prasad Varma on 12 January 1917, in the Panduka area of Raipur, India. He studied physics at Allahabad University, and in around 1939 became a disciple of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, who from 1941 was the Shankaracharya (spiritual leader) of the Indian city of Jyotir Math.
In 1941 Maharishi became a personal assistant to Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, whom he knew as Guru Deva. Maharishi was given the name Bal Brahmachari Mahesh by him.
Maharishi remained with Brahmananda Saraswati until he died in 1953. Afterwards Maharishi moved to Uttarkashi in the Valley of the Saints, in the Himalayasm before leaving in 1955 to teach a meditation technique he called Transcendental Deep Meditation, later renamed Transcendental Meditation.
He began the Spiritual Regeneration Movement in 1957 in Madras, India, and the following year began the first of many worldwide tours to bring his techniques to a wider audience.
We’d seen Maharishi up north when we were kids. He was on the telly every few years on Granada’s People And Places programme, the local current affairs show. We’d all say, ‘Hey, did you see that crazy guy last night?’ So we knew all about him: he was the giggly little guy going round the globe seven times to heal the world.
Anthology
George Harrison‘s wife Pattie had become interested in Eastern philosophy and religion following a holiday in Bombay towards the end of 1966. The following year a friend invited her to a lecture on Transcendental Meditation at London’s Caxton Hall.When Pattie heard that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was giving a series of talks at the London Hilton, she persuaded George to come along. On 24 August 1967 the couple, plus John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Jane Asher were in front row seats, listening to the Maharishi speak.
I got the tickets. I was actually after a mantra. I had got to the point where I thought I would like to meditate; I’d read about it and I knew I needed a mantra – a password to get through to the other world. And, as we always seemed to do everything together, John and Paul came with me.
Anthology
Ringo Starr was unable to go to the lecture, as his wife Maureen had given birth to their son Jason on 19 August 1967.
I came home and put on the answerphone, and there was a message from John: ‘Oh, man, we’ve seen this guy, and we’re all going to Wales. You’ve got to come.’ The next message from from George, saying, ‘Wow, man – we’ve seen him. Maharishi’s great! We’re all going to Wales on Saturday, and you’ve got to come.’
Anthology
The Beatles were granted a 90-minute private audience with Maharishi. He impressed them with his philosophy; the next day they traveled to Bangor, north Wales, to attend a Transcendental Meditation seminar.
I think he realised that these boys could get his message across real fast. And so after we met him, he brought up the idea of us going on tour again and opening up a place in every city. But we didn’t do that, because things began to change.
Anthology
The train left London’s Euston Station on 25 August. All four Beatles were on it, along with Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull and Donovan. However, John Lennon’s wife Cynthia missed the train after being mistaken for a fan and held back by a security guard.
I remember Cynthia not making the train, which was terrible and very symbolic. She was the only one of our party not to get there. There’s a bit of film of her not making it. That was the end of her and John, really, weirdly enough. There was a big crowd at the train station, and there was another to meet us in Bangor. We all wandered through in our psychedelic gear. It was like a summer camp.
Anthology
The Beatles spent two nights in Bangor. Due to the last-minute decision to attend, they had to sleep in a rented schoolroom along with the other students of Maharishi. In Bangor they were each given personal mantras.
The Beatles’ encounter with the Maharishi coincided with their realisation that LSD didn’t hold the answers they were hoping for. They held a press conference to reveal their new passion for meditation, and announced that they had given up drugs.
They came backstage after one of my lectures, and they said to me: ‘Even from an early age we have been seeking a highly spiritual existence. We tried drugs and that didn’t work.’.They are such practical and intelligent young boys that it took them only two days to find that Transcendental Meditation is the answer.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
I can sympathize with Prabhupada, who wrote, as he prepared to get off a ship from India in New York City in 1965:
I do not know why You [God/Krishna] have brought me here.
Now You can do whatever You like with me.
But I guess You have some business here, otherwise why would You bring me to this terrible place?
How will I make them understand this message of Krishna consciousness?
I am very unfortunate, unqualified and most fallen. Therefore I am seeking Your benediction so that I can convince them, for I am powerless to do so on my own.

Mukunda Dasa wrote me:
I think it would be good to also mention that Prabhupada, in a 1972 morning walk conversation, said that Hitler was a good man and didn’t believe that he kill so many jews in concentration camps. You can find this here:
He also pointed out that Hitler was killed [slandered] by propaganda:
http://truth.prabhupada.org.
Then it would be good to point out that Hitler predicted a man [the one] would come after him and he was the person to fight for now:
http://truth.prabhupada.org.
Prabhupada also called jews demons (in a polite way, LOL)– see here:
