From mid-1976 Srila Prabhupada unexplainedly became increasingly weak and ill. Despite treatment from various Ayurvedic doctors, he mysteriously did not improve. He spoke about being poisoned. He and his caretakers discussed his homicidal poisoning at length. The next day his caretakers were tape recorded speaking about poisoning him. He had a set of 12 heavy metal poisoning symptoms which do not fit with diabetes or kidney disease. From 1998 to 2005 seven hair tests found lethal levels of heavy metals. ISKCON has covered-up the poison issue with desperate denials, a false investigation by the suspects themselves, fraudulent testimony, repressive edicts, and character assassinations.

This volume was prepared to distribute the unvarnished, unadulterated truth, facts, and evidence about Srila Prabhupada's glorious and triumphant disappearance pastimes to all his followers and admirers. Herewith is the conclusive, irrefutable evidence of his poisoning with 250 X normal cadmium levels and 23 X normal arsenic levels. Whatever consequences follow, it is up to Lord Krishna. Scientific forensic discoveries have proven beyond doubt that Srila Prabhupada was maliciously and homicidally poisoned for at least 10 months in1977. This truth is highly relevant to all in the Hare Krishna movement and will have deep ramifications for its future. The truth always serves us well, whereas ignorance and falsehood are always detrimental.

Uninformed detractors often raise various flawed objections (Ch. 58). Still, it is a proven fact. It is not so much that people disagree with the evidence, but that they do not know what it is. They most likely never even read the 1977 "poison discussions" with Srila Prabhupada and his caretakers (Part 2, Appendix 6). If they did, there would be 99% less doubts and questions. May the truth be known and institutional obstruction eviscerated.

"A servant of Srila Prabhupada is naturally interested to hear and understand about all of Srila Prabhupada's pastimes- his embarking on the Jaladuta, rising at 1 AM to speak his purports into the dictaphone, dancing in kirtan, leading Jaya Radha Madhava, and his disappearance pastime. Of course, each pastime of Srila Prabhupada has its distinctive flavor, and invokes diverse emotions. Truth about events surrounding Srila Prabhupada's disappearance have been concealed, and thus we can appreciate the efforts to reveal them, if not exhaustively, at least thoroughly, comprehensively. While there are more details to emerge, this volume provides a clear picture of what happened, through the tremendous research and efforts that were made. As we learn more and more about the events surrounding the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada, our admiration for his inconceivably transcendental character is enhanced- at least, that's the case for me, and I trust that it will be similarly so for those who carefully study the happenings surrounding Srila Prabhupada's disappearance. My preference, for sure, in relation to the disappearance pastime of Srila Prabhupada, would be to simply, directly glorify Srila Prabhupada for the awe-inspiring transcendental qualities he demonstrates. As I indicated above, though, truths related to his disappearance have been deliberately concealed. Thus, to maximize the possibility that the information in this volume will be examined and received by as many people as possible, it's necessary, or at least real helpful, to expose the deception that has been perpetrated, so that readers and potential readers are free from the influence of the knowledge filter created by ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)."
