:) It's like the Transcendental Meditation claims of "scientific
proof", which were constantly repeated until a couple of real
scientists became interested and decided to verify those claims,
simply because they have found them intriguing. You know what they
found out? That the "Maharishi effect" doesn't exist and that all the
claims were just propaganda with zero substance. The relevant links:

The facts are, Prabhupada's work is laughing stock in the expert
circles, I have personally witnessed that. If I mentioned Prabhupada
to some expert on Indian thought, he would ROTFL. The myth of
Prabhupada's importance is ISKCON's local fairy-tale.
