 Would you just stop misquoting me?? You start sounding like
that brain dead PADA creature. Let me rephrase my words for you.
"If a junior disciple of mine went to America after my death, and
founded a cult marginally based on me, that would sound very similar
to what Prabhupada did".

The analogy was that Prabhupada was a junior disciple of
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, whom he saw a couple of times during ten or
so years, unlike the other disciples who were with him all the time.
Yet Prabhupada, when questioned by them later, told his students to
ignore the Gaudiya Math. I made an analogy to illustrate that, but
judging by your lack of understanding, I should have probably writen
in color, with capital letters. Did you finally get it? I don't like
Prabhupada, his translations suck and when I go to a bookstore and ask
if they have a translation of Gita, I'm usually told that they just
have "that Hare Krishna trash from Prabhupada", and none of the real
translations. So I'm not alone in my estimates. But I seriously
dislike when my words are distorted. If you want to qoute my
defamation of Prabhupada, just ask me and quote, I'll be happy to
provide. But don't misquote me because that makes me irritated. OK?

As a disclaimer, it must be said that although I loathe Prabhupada's
literary work, I respect his human qualities, he was mostly blowing
steam in his books, and in reality he was probably much nicer, and he
also had a good intuition.
