Jan 11, 2014 — MUMBAI, INDIA (SUN) —
Today I came across this picture, which was sent by Indradyumna Swami, along with this caption:
"One of 15 billboards advertising our 6 programs in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India starting in 4 days. May Srila Prabhupada be glorified throughout the 3 worlds!"
How does he expect Srila Prabhupada to be glorified throughout the three worlds when he isn't even being glorified on this billboard? Try to find Srila Prabhupada in the picture. Hint: he isn't the white guy on the right. You may need a magnifying glass to locate him.
Srila Prabhupada is a tiny spec in the bottom left-hand corner of the billboard, apparently with no introduction or identification. The person on the right, however, has his name prominently displayed at the top of the billboard: "By Indradyumna Swami and international artists from 14 countries."
I would be interested in hearing responses from devotees as to what their opinion is of this, both from the supporters of Indradyumna Swami and others who may feel this is minimizing Srila Prabhupada's position. Maybe an explanation from Indradyumna Swami as to how this came about, who designed the billboard, which ISKCON devotee approved it, etc. Apparently he didn't see anything objectionable in the billboard, or he wouldn't have photographed it and sent it to other devotees.
