Donald Trump, Another Cowardly President
Trump is another coward posing as commander in chief, worse than puny Biden.
Trump flashes around the symbols of power, but can’t put his actual power to use. He has a big gun but he can’t pull its trigger or even point it at Putin.
He could’ve ended the war in 24 hours, but he didn’t, because he lacks the moral courage needed to support Ukraine and put Putin in his place.
What is Putin’s place? Utter defeat and humiliation.
Trump is weak, a bully and too cowardly to face down Putin.
Wars must be won to bring them to an end.
Pres. Zelenskyy is the man—and Ukraine is the nation—that can do it with just a pittance of support from the cowardly leaders of western nations. But even that, it seems, is too much for them. They can’t stand up to evil because there’s too much evil in them. They’re the friends of evil and that makes them weak.
Learn how to conquer evil, read Bhagavad-gita.

World War III: Let It Be
We seem to be always just a bit shy of World War III. In April of 2023, shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine I suspected the invasion, if not dealt with quickly and decisively in Ukraines favor, would lead to WWIII. Ukraine’s supporters failed to act decisively and still continue flailing about, more concerned with egos, votes and expenditures than the existential threat the war poses to many nations.
Current events surrounding Russia’s attack on Ukraine make me think we could now be closer to WWIII than at any point in history. Depending upon how world events are handled now will decide whether or not the next World War comes sooner or later. Hoping it will come later is not a solution.
In the following excerpt Srila Sridhara Maharaja has provided the solution. By giving it our full attention each of us can live without war.
Swami B.K. Giri
Student: Many people are worried about nuclear war. They think it may come very soon.
Srila Sridhara Maharaja: That is a point on a line, a line on a plane, a plane in a solid. So many times wars are coming and going; so many times the sun, the Earth, and the solar systems disappear, and again spring up.… Read More...
”Megyn Kelly on What’s Really Happening with Trump vs. Zelensky”
X Files (Posted on X @GiriMaharaja)
Re: YouTube’s ”Megyn Kelly on What’s Really Happening with Trump vs. Zelensky”
Megyn, thanks for clarifying what you & Trump are all about. You’re not about stopping the killing, as Trump claims, or the terrible suffering of the Ukrainian people. You’re not about stopping the monstrous atrocities committed by Putin’s savages in the guise of soldiers.
What’re you about? It’s in the title of your video: Trump vs. Zelensky. Should there be any remaining doubt your elaboration in your video makes it crystal clear. It’s all about your egos. You (& he) should be ashamed. But you’re not. And, of course, you think you’re a Christian, a good Christian girl; you’ve said it.
What you are is an elite tribalist posing as ”everyman.”
You once said you were glad to know Trump was protecting you. Yes, Trump may protect you because you’re members of the same tribe. But the moment he sees you differently he’ll abandon you, just as he is abandoning the people of Ukraine.
You think Trump is a great leader because you have no actual great leader to compare him to. You’re only experience is with little men with little ideas.
Great men with great ideas are described in the Bhagavad-gita.… Read More...
Changes to our book sales and book distribution.
Rising costs of book sales.
We have always strived to offer the best service possible for sincere seekers with a desire to acquire and study the books of Sri Gaura Saraswati. To that end we make every effort to package and ship our books within 24 to 48 hours using USPS Priority Mail with a three day delivery window and tracking number to follow the shipments and insure their delivery.
We have offered this service for many years as shipping costs continually rise. Despite the rise in these costs we have not raised the price of our books. Now we feel we must.
For the most part, after deducting the shipping costs, we receive an amount less than or equal to the cost of printing. In many cases our Mission’s devotees are actually subsidizing the cost of printing so that our books can be shared with the widest possible audience.
Within a short period of time we will be raising the price of all our books and other items from our ”Shop” by $1.00. If you’d like to avoid these increases we suggest you place any orders you’ve been considering as soon as possible.
If you appreciate the value of printing and distributing the books of our Sri Guru Varga please help us continue this important work.… Read More...

Enjoying Election Day in the USA
Today we are observing the disappearance of His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktvedanta Swami. It is also the day voters in the USA will vote to elect their next President. Remembering the many things Srila Prabhupada had to say about democratic elections, observance of first event led to remembrance of the next and I took a look to see what Srila Prabhupada had to say about these matters.
I recall once hearing about Srila Sridhara Maharaja speak to the question of how we should vote. He said this: ”Vote against the Communist.”
In the following talk Srila Prabhupada expands on the same point. I found reading it to be very enjoyable. I became quite happy doing so. I hope you will have the same experience.
Swami B.K. Giri
”So if the world becomes full of Communists, then the human civilization will be finished.”
Prabhupāda: …two classes of men = the Communist and the non-Communist. Not exactly Communist and Capitalist, but Communist and non-Communist. Out of these two, the Communist are going to be powerful. This is the world tendency. So if the world becomes full of Communists, then the human civilization will be finished. All rogues and rascals, that’s all. The American government wants to check this tendency.… Read More...
