As many are aware, Srila Prabhupada has many times warned us that the third world war will eventually take place.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “The America has got atom bomb and Russia has got atom bomb. As soon as there is another war, the whole world will be finished” (Bhagavad-gita Lec. 13.14 Bombay, October 7, 1973) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “So these rascals are going on. So it is very difficult to preach Krsna consciousness. The whole world is overburdened by these rascals and demons. So atom, atom bomb is waiting for them. Yes. It will be finished. All the demons will be finished” (Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 1.8.34 Los Angeles, April 26, 1973) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “You are maintaining so many slaughterhouses, and when it will be mature, there will be war, the wholesale murder. Finished. One atom bomb--finished. You'll have to suffer. .(Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 6.1.32 Honolulu, May 31, 1976)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “Don't think that "Innocent animals, they cannot protest. Let us kill and eat." No. You'll be also punished. Wait for accumulation of your sinful activities, and there will be war, and the America will drop the atom bomb, and Russia will be finished. Both will be finished. .(Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 6.1.32 Honolulu, May 31, 1976)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “Go on now enjoying. It takes time. Just like even if you infect some disease, it takes time. Not that immediately you infect, and immediately the disease is there. No. It takes a week's time or so.(Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 6.1.32 Honolulu, May 31, 1976) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Paramahamsa: The theory nowadays is that by the proliferation of atomic weapons, that Russia has so many weapons, China has so many weapons, the United States has so much...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Everyone now. India has also.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Paramahamsa: They're all afraid of using them.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: They must use it. That is nature's arrangement.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Paramahamsa: Yeah, right. History.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes. That is nature's arrangement (chuckles) that you all die. That is nature's arrangement.
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: When someone gets some power he wants to try it out. Just like there was that demon. Lord Siva gave him power: whoever head he touched, the head would fall off.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Just like in your country there are so many cars so that a poor man like me has car always, not an inch move on leg. So because there is so many. There are so many cars. So there are so many weapons now. That must be used. That is a natural sequence. They must use it.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Bahulasva: That is why they have wars, just so they can use up the weapons.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Oh yes.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Paramahamsa: The only difficulty is that if one person uses the atomic weapon, that means entire, it would be entire waste of mankind. So everyone's afraid of using the ultimate.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Well, anyway, they must be used. There is no doubt about it. Therefore we can say there will be war. It is no astrology. It is natural conclusion.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: Common sense.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Paramahamsa: That'd mean total destruction.<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Well, total or partial, that we shall see. But they must be used. ( S.P.Morning Walk July 18, 1975, San Francisco) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “The modern civilization has got everything, but without God consciousness, any moment it will be finished. And there are symptoms... Any moment. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “At the present moment, this godless civilization, as soon as there is declaration of war, the America is prepared to drop atom bomb, Russia is... The first nation who will drop the atom bomb, he will be victorious. Nobody will be victorious, because both of them are ready to drop. The America will be finished and Russia will be finished. That is the position. So you may make advancement of civilization, scientific improvement, economic development, but if it is godless, at any moment it will be finished. At any moment. (Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 1.15.21 Los Angeles, December 1, 1973) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srila Prabhupada – “You have created this situation. You must be killed. You may be American or Englishman or German or this or that. You may be very proud of your nationality. But you must be killed." This is the position. Isvarasya vicestitam. "You have killed so many animals. Now wholesale killing, one bomb. One atom bomb. Be killed." So these rascals they do not know how things are going on. Isvarasya vicestitam. "Tit for tat." There must be”. (Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 1.15.24 Los Angeles, December 3, 1973) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes. All Western adventure to keep people in darkness. And that is going on. Now it will be smashed by the next war. Next war will come very soon.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: (Surprised) Oh!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes.
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: Next war...?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Your country, America, is very much eager to kill these Communists. And the Communists are also very eager. So very soon there will be war. And perhaps India will be the greatest sufferer.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: Greatest...?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Devotees: Sufferer.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Srutakirti: Sufferer.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Because America is aiming to start the war from India.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Devotee: Oh!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes. Because India and Russia, they are...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Brahmananda: They are... Friendship.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: No. Side by side. If the war is started from India...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Rupanuga: So India will become...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: And the Russians are ready here already, I have heard, with soldiers and... Not soldiers. I mean to say.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Hamsaduta: Missiles.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes. They are also vigilant.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Visnujana: Will that help our preaching, Prabhupada?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Preaching will be very nice after the war when both of them, especially Russia, will be finished.......<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes, they are getting. They are already getting. The Pakistan will start the war with India. And then everything will be...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Devotees: Oh! Whew!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Devotee: Pakistan will start a war... (devotees talking among themselves.)...<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tamala Krsna: Will this war spread to many different countries and continents?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: The actual war will be between America and Russia. (S.P. Morning Walk Conversation (World War III) April 4, 1975, Mayapur)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Yes. Next war means atomic war. All these rascals will be killed automatically. I will kill you, you'll kill me. That's all.
<o:p></o:p>
Yogesvara: Is that war to occur in the recent future? Or is that a long way off?
<o:p></o:p>
Prabhupada: Very recent, very recent future. (S.P.Morning Walk May 27, 1974, Rome)<o:p></o:p>
