A curtain made of strings of beads (by Bhakta Charles)

Over the years I have been blessed with a number of dreams of Srila Prabhupada but this one stood out for me and it was also a more recent one. In the dream I was in Vrndavana with two of my devotee friends who were coming to the holy Dhama for the first time. I was showing them around the various temples. I was desiring to take them in to the Krsna-Balarama (ISKCON) temple but was at first reluctant knowing them to have totally deviated from Srila Prabhupada instructions. I told my friends that I would take them around the temple just this one time so they could just see where the greatest Acarya of all times had performed his manifest lila. We first went inside Srila Prabhupada's Samadhi and circumambulated. After which we entered into the main temple room. I remember as we entered there was one senior devotee who started to chastise us that we couldn't be direct disciples of Srila Prabhupada since we didn't see him. He rambled on for quite a while but we just ignored him and slowly approached to Srila Prabhupada on the Vyasana who was situated to the right side of the three main deities. As we offered our obeisances to Srila Prabhupada I looked up to behold his transcendental form but realised that there was a curtain made of strings of beads hanging down vertically. I was able to see in the distance his transcendental figure but was unable to capture the features . I started to move the beads apart but as I did so more just appeared out of no where. During all of this time the temple room was packed with ISKCON devotees. They seemed quite unconscious to the fact that Srila Prabhupada was seated right there on the Vyasasana. I went on trying to remove the beads but same thing again , more just appeared out of thin air. Then my friends tried to help me but our attempts were baffled. I finally gave up and exited the temple. I remember consciously in the dream thinking that Srila Prabhupada was not being made available in "ISKCON" and that anyone who would try to connect with him in the organisation would be blocked. Of course such things wouldn't really surprise me too much since the organisation ISKCON is responsible for heaps of offenses to Srila Prabhupada especially usurping his rightful position as Initiating Guru and administering poison to his food. It was as clear as day to me from the dream that due to such horrible deeds the organisation has suffered and continues to suffer. I just feel sorry for all those "innocent" souls in the organisation who are either actively worshipping the poison givers and other bogus gurus or who are supporting the offenses indirectly by their silence. Thank Krsna that Srila Prabhupada is still available in his vani for giving shelter to the sincere souls in the world.

Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!!!
