" Trump was attacked, and [the god] Jagannath returned the favour by saving him" (article)

 >

48 years ago China was absolutely NOT the super-power of today, and even in the eighties, US military corporations (Don't remember, Grumman or Northorp) helped Marxist China to build a fighter aircraft for the Air Force. 

I think Trump has been chosen for his friendship with India, 48 years later.

ISKCON and Donald Trump: How the first Jagannath Rath Yatra in 1976 was organised with the help of the former US President in New York City

Vice President and spokesperson for the Kolkata ISKCON, Radharamn Das, concurred with him and related a fascinating story of how Donal Trump was able to gain spiritual merit by helping followers of Lord Krishna organize the Rath Yatra in New York. He stated in an elaborate post, “Exactly 48 years ago, Donald Trump saved the Jagannath Rathayatra festival. Today, as the world celebrates the Jagannath Rathayatra festival again, Trump was attacked, and Jagannath returned the favour by saving him”.

The devotees brought a presentation package and a large basket of Maha Prasadam to his office. While accepting, his secretary forewarned them and declared, “He never agrees to this kind of thing. You can ask, but he will most likely say no.” Nevertheless, the devotees maintained their faith in Mahaprabhu and the miracle materialized. Surprisingly, Donald Trump appeared as a beacon of hope for followers of Lord Krishna as his secretary called up the devotees after three days and informed, “I don’t know what happened but he read your letter, took a bit of the food you left, and immediately said Sure, why not? Come on down and get his signed letter of permission.” 

What is ISKCON

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), known colloquially as the Hare Krishna movement is a Gaudiya Vaishnava Hindu religious organization. It was founded on 13th July 1966 in New York City by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Its main headquarters is located in Mayapur, West Bengal, India. Its unique form of monotheistic core beliefs is based on Hindu scriptures, particularly Prabhupada’s commentaries and translations of the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavata Purana.

ISKCON is “the largest and, arguably, most important branch” of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition which has had adherents in India since the early 16th century and its American and European devotees since the mid and late 20th century. It has around 10 million followers worldwide. The religious organization practices vegetarianism and was initially formed to spread the practice of Bhakti yoga. Its followers, called bhaktas, dedicate both their thoughts and actions towards pleasing Krishna, whom they consider the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Its most rapid expansion in registered membership has been within India and (after the collapse of the Soviet Union) in Russia and other formerly Soviet-aligned states of Eastern Europe.

Who’s First: Vishnu or Krishna?

By Satyaraja Dasa

A discussion of the relative positions of the creator and the playful, ever-youthful cowherd boy of Vrindavan.

When I speak to college students or professors, a particular question often arises: Who is prior, Vishnu or Krishna? Most of my educated friends know that Vishnu and Krishna are names for two distinct manifestations of the same Personality of Godhead. They further know that Vishnu is generally seen as God while Krishna is considered His incarnation. Most dictionaries refer to Them in that way, with Vishnu taking the prior position. Consequently, the tradition that considers Krishna and Vishnu supreme is usually referred to as Vaishnavism, as opposed to the less common Krishnaism.

Remember Alexander Hislop's THE TWO BABYLONS: the Vishnu name is of a caldean origin, Ish Nuh, which means THE MAN NOAH, the man of rest.
