As things look right now, those who had the strongest motive to kill Prabhupada was the hereditary brahmana class. They even published in the news that Prabhupada is the "ungodly face". Actually, the headline was "the ungodly face". Is there any more intense hatred possible?
"And they are criticizing me in the Parliament. You have seen the recent article "Blitz" against me? What is that heading? "Ungodly face." I am doing ungodly? But they are advertising like that. Trying to make me unpopular. The Mayavadis, they say that Bhaktivedanta Swami is ruining Hinduism. They are saying like that. So I am being criticized in Parliament, I am criticized by the so-called jagad-gurus who have never seen what is jagat. And so on, so on."
