There is a signed letter from Dr. Steven Morris, dated Nov. 23, 2015, where he attests that he conducted tests on samples of Srila Prabhupada’s hair. The three samples from 1977 indicate cadmium levels approximately 250 times above normal. The 3 tests of Srila Prabhupada’s hair samples from earlier years indicate cadmium levels at the average, normal level. These hair samples ever went straight from GBC representatives to Dr. Morris. Dr. Morris is a world-renowned leader in the field of forensic toxicology, neutron activation analysis…
Forensic experts have expressed that there is no rational accidental or environmental cause for this level of cadmium in the samples of Srila Prabhupada’s hair. By far the most reasonable explanation is that someone, or more than one person, deliberately, with homicidal intent, gave cadmium to Srila Prabhupada. Forensic toxicologists have confirmed that the level of cadmium found in Srila Prabhupada’s hair constitutes clear indication of deliberate poisoning. One described it as “…prima facie evidence of poisoning with malicious intent.”
[…] Several (about half a dozen) top-level experts in the field of audio-forensics have studied tapes and have confirmed, through independent analysis, that in the background, in some of the tapes from November, 1977, some of Srila Prabhupada’s caretakers are whispering, and the whispers unmistakably include the word “poison,” including statements such as “The poison’s going down,” and “Is the poison in the milk?” These audio-forensic experts include John J. Mitchell with Computer Audio Engineering, Tom Owen with Owl Investigations, James Reames with JBR Technologies, and audiologist Helen A. McCaffrey, Ph.D. Tom Owen states “The word poison is clearly audible…There is conversation about poison and the use of it… Homicide investigator should be consulted… Based on my training and experience, the word poison is clearly audible and intelligible in several instances.”
Clearly, without any doubt, as easily seen in Conversations with Srila Prabhupada, Vol. 36 pgs. 367-8, Srila Prabhupada was experiencing mental distress because he suspected, or maybe knew, that he was being poisoned with homicidal intent. Those close to him at the time, such as Tamal Krsna Goswami, Bhavananda Goswami, and Bhakti Caru Maharaja, also expressed very clearly, during those discussions in November, 1977, that they knew, without doubt, that Srila Prabhupada was experiencing distress that he was being given poison, with malicious intent. And, forensic toxicology shows cadmium levels 250 times average, and audio-forensics confirms that Srila Prabhupada’s caretakers are in the background, whispering about poison. And, the official statement of the ISKCON GBC is “There is no evidence at this time to support the allegations of poisoning of Srila Prabhupada.” For me, and I think, many people, such an absurdity coming from ISKCON leadership constitutes, in itself, another category of evidence. If there’s no reason to bluff and conceal, why all the bluff and concealment?
[…] Please note that Srila Prabhupada clearly expressing mental distress because he suspected or knew that he was being poisoned with murderous intent comes after the “not that I am poisoned comment” […] Please note also that Srila Prabhupada’s comment “Better to be killed by Rama” comes after Srila Prabhupada was speaking about his mental distress, because he thought, or knew, that he was being giving poison with homicidal intent. Srila Prabhupada, November 10, 1977- “The Ravana will kill and Rama will kill. Better to be killed by Rama. Eh? That Marica—if he does not go to mislead Sita, he’ll be killed by Ravana; and if he goes to be killed by Rama, then it is better.” […] This is a statement from Srila Prabhupada. Who is the Ravana to whom Srila Prabhupada refers?
[…] Obviously, when we speak about Srila Prabhupada experiencing distress, we understand that all of Srila Prabhupada’s pastimes and emotions are spiritual, and he is enacting pastimes, for our eternal benefit, and for the benefit of all conditioned souls in material existence. And obviously, persons with malicious intent were not capable to kill Srila Prabhupada. But, it seems, they did give him poison. Sri Krsna and Srila Prabhupada can co-create Srila Prabhupada’s Disappearance Pastime however they choose. How does it make sense to believe that they could do it through, say, a disease germ, or cancer cells, or a crucifixion, but not through persons close to Srila Prabhupada giving him poison? […] Let us again consider carefully ISKCON’s official statement on the matter- “There is no evidence at this time to support the allegations of poisoning of Srila Prabhupada.”
