1. Srila Prabhupada predicts atomic war

    Yogesvara: …all the major nations of the world have… These atomic weapons constitute very great storehouses for them. So what should they do with all of these things?

    Prabhupada: They should throw. I throw upon you, you throw upon me. You go to hell, I go to hell. That’s all. This will be the result. And the world will be cleansed of these all rascals. This will be the result. (laughs)

    Bhagavan: In the Teachings of Lord Caitanya, you say that even the atomic bombs can be used in Krishna’s service.

    Prabhupada: It will be used by nature. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani [BG 3.27]. He is thinking that “I am proprietor of this atomic bomb,” but he does not know that the other’s atomic bomb will kill me, and my atomic bomb, I kill him. That’s all. He does not know that. He is thinking, “I am very proud of possessing.” But that will be the cause of his death.

    Yogesvara: Is such an atomic war foretold in SB?

    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.

    Yogesvara: Is that war to occur in the recent future? Or is that a long way off?

    Prabhupada: Very recent, very recent future.
