Is Jesus More Qualified Than Srila Prabhupada?

It appears to me logicaly that if I accept the preaching that mainstraim vaishnavas are teaching I would natually come to this conclusion... If one notes that even after Jesus left the planet many sincere disciples who took shelter of him sincerely, only on the basis of faith in his promise to liberated anyone who surrendered to him, manifested the symptoms even in this life of transcending the modes of nature. They became fearless, perfomred miracles, loved God, etc. Note I said sincere. Many vaishnava and Jesus disciples who are attracted to liberated personalites still want money, wealth, honor, followers and use their bodily connection and the reputation of the bonafide acarya to obtain such temporary trinkets.

Before Srila Prabhupada departed the planet he also left a ritvik instruction that he wanted to continue to take disciples. This has been swept under the carpet. Many of his senior disciples who became Spiritual Master or even acarya say it can't work, cant be done, never been done, not valid in his departure. Logically they do stand to benefit by cutting others faith in this this order by themselves getting the followers, worship, honor titles. Am I off base for suggesting that there might be some impure motive behind backing this line or are all these personalities really pure hearted and have Srila Prabhupada's best interest at heart? After many years of following, -You must have a living Guru phyilosopy-, I now don't accept such nonsense because I know that Srila Prabhupada is as good as Jesus and he honors his signed decrees whether he is manifest or manifested in this world. He has the power to guide from within just like Jesus said he would work in the lives of his disciples. What have you realized out there in internet land?

Please Accept My Humble Obeisance's

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. I think one should refrain from comparing Srila Prabhupada with Jesus, who is more qualified or who is greater. Indeed it is sad that , what I understand Jesus upon his resurrection had come to Nazareth and had eaten Bread and Seven Fish..... What may come Srila Prabhupada would have not eaten Fish for sure . Srila Prabhupada always admired Jesus and he spoke about his compassion towards all living beings. Yet his followers always went the opposite and started Propoganda ... what once they always said was that 'Jesus was the Son of God'... This was there till as late as mid 1980's and then the History was re written like the Old Testment to New Testment was written with a convenience to accommodate some vested religious fake followers... Suddenly you hear these religious preachers began saying THAT JESUS IS GOD"... The word Son Of God Does not come into use any more.

All those who are following Srila Prabhupada's instruction and as His Disciples.... They Shall Never Eat Meat... They might have broken couple of regulative principles yet... they shall continue to Chant, they keep their association with Devotees and fundamentally they have realized the most basic factor ' THAT THEY ARE NOT THE LORDS AND THEY ARE IN THIS MATERIAL WORLD AND THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS PROCESS OF BIRTH,DEATH,OLD AGE AND DISEASE' AND GO BACK HOME BACK TO GOD HEAD.

With all concocted information the real true information about Jesus is not knowN... example Srila Prabhupada could recite 1000 Names of Lord, He has written more than 70 books within such a short time, converted thousands of people from Drug Addicts to Pure Devotees...at a time when the whole Christian World was openly circulating LSD and Drugs... and came to USA at the age of 70 with just NO NO MONEY.....Sailed on a Cargo Ship, Suffered two strokes..... and see for yourself... He Just Transformed The World. Ask any Christian Preacher.. They have ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS's Childhood PAST TIMES . Whereas Srila Prabhupada was able to give every Past Time of Lord Sri Krishna's Appearance or for that matter of Lord's every manifestation and about Lord Sri Caitanya and almost any subject connected with Vedic Literature.

We cannot compare Jesus with Srila Prabhupada since they have failed to prove with real facts about Jesus. About mystic powers .... there are millions of such Sanyasis in India, who can perform some of the most amazing things and they have thousands of followers... that does not qualify them to be equal to Srila Prabhupada... I feel comparing could hurt the feelings of others and as followers of Srila Prabhupada we have to respect Jesus and all others irrespective of RACE, RELIGION, NATIONALITY, COLOR and aswell all living ENTITIES.
Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON is A TRUE EMBODIMENT AND WE HAVE SUCH GREAT DEVOTEES FROM ALL RACES, ALL CULTURES, ALL RELIGIONS AND FROM EVERY PART OF THIS PLANET EARTH.

WE ALL NEED TO PRAY FOR THE WORLD PEACE AND MAY ALL ONE DAY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE GOD AND HE IS THE ULTIMATE ENJOYER AND WE HAVE ONLY ONE PURPOSE ON THIS PLANET EARTH... JUST SERVE THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GOD HEAD SRI KRISHNA.

WE OWE EVERYTHING TO SRILA PRABHUPADA FOR SHOWING US THIS WONDERFUL PATH OF KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS ... INDEED HE IS OUR JAGAT GURU.. JAI SRILA PRABHUPADA.. JAI JAI JAI SRILA PRABHUPADA..

Hmm... I am still am not convinced to stop the comparion. I naturally love them both and think they are wonderful! In own unique way they are both true acaryas. Acarya according to SP means the head of the tanscendental disciplic succession. Many people have become saints due to faith in jesus so he has proved by symptoms he can save or liberate those who have sincere faith in him . I believe many will become saints due to faith in Srila Prabhupada also because they are both part of the vishudha satva potency and worthy to take shelter of. Especially if the ignorant and as it seems motivated authorities stop cutting peoples faith in SP personal promise to continue to take disciples through his ritvik program. If Jesus can do it I know SP can do it also. Actually I have explicid faith in both and due to this faith they have shown me extraordinary things! As Paul says, we live by faith in the promises of God. God manifests his promises through his authorized representatives. Jesus fulfills his promises and so does Srila Prabhupada through his ritvik decree and promise to continue to give shelter to future disciples in the similar way Jesus promised. So I guess I still I like the comparison.Its a worthy one. Thanks for your opinon and taking time to reply!

Like I mentioned Srila Prabhupada always praised Jesus and I have no doubts about Jesus. I shall respect and love him as much as I do to Great Vaishnavs. I tried to secure more information about His Childhood Pastimes, ufortunately I never got any right information from any of the so called learned Christian scholars and Priests. So I felt comparing who is great ' Srila Prabhupada or Jesus ' is like apples and oranges. Since I have better knowledge about Srila Prabhupada, I admire him more than anyone but does not mean that I am not praising Jesus, I Praise Him and shall always love and respect him as one of the greatest Vaishnavs and Srila Prabhupada as Jagat Guru of present times.
