Karandhara: They don’t even appreciate the quality of the Vedas.
Prabhupada: Eh?
Karandhara: They don’t appreciate the quality of the Vedas. The take it mostly as folklore, primitive.
Prabhupada: We do not take, the philosophical side is not primitive then why they are reading Bhagavad-gita and Vedas there are many scholars they appreciate. German people appreciate. Hitler was too much fond of Vedic civilisation he therefore marked his flag swastika. Why mark is there? That is appreciation. And still by comparison the idea of modern civilisation and the ideal presented there, one must have appreciation.

Kapi-dhvajah. Kapi-dhvajah is also significant. Kapi-dhvajah, Arjuna, on his… Just like nowadays also, every nation has different types of flags, so Arjuna also had his flag on the… Dhvajah. Dhvajah means the flag. The flag was on the top of his chariot. And it was marked with Hanuman, Vajrangaji, Vajrangaji, Hanuman, who fought for Lord Ramacandra. He is fighting for Krsna. So he is also following the footsteps of Vajrangaji.
Vaisnavism is like that. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah. Vaisnava should follow his previous mahajana, authority. That is Vaisnavism. We don’t manufacture ideas. We don’t commit such rascaldom. We simply accept the behavior or the activities of previous acaryas. There is no difficulty. There is no difficulty.
So in the fighting principle, Arjuna is fighting for Krsna. He is following the previous fighting acarya, Hanumanji. Therefore he has depicted his flag with Hanuman, that “Hanumanji, Vajrangaji, kindly help me.” This is Vaisnavism. “I have come here to fight for Lord Krsna. You fought also for the Lord. Kindly help me.” This is the idea. Kapi-dhvajah. So any activities of the Vaisnava, they should always pray to the previous acarya, “Kindly help me. Kindly…” This is, Vaisnava is always thinking himself helpless, helpless. And begging help from the previous acarya.
Prabhupada Lecture Bhagavad-gita 1.20, London, July 17, 1973
This quote from Mein Kampf: “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: By defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
is often grossly taken out of context, the quote always is shown from “hence I am convinced…” or “I am convinced….”, but it is never shown what comes before that phrase because if you read the quote in its FULL CONTEXT (the whole passage), you will realize that Hitler is referring to the Nature (mayadevi) deified as the Lord on whose behalf he is working.
Here is the full context (The important parts are BOLD):
「 The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic PRINCIPLE OF NATURE and replaces the eternal privilege of power and strength by the mass of numbers and their dead weight. Thus it denies the value of personality in man, contests the significance of nationality and race, and thereby withdraws from humanity the premise of its existence and its culture. As a foundation of the universe, this doctrine would bring about the end of any order intellectually conceivable to man. And as, in this greatest of all recognizable organisms, the result of an application of such a law could only be chaos, on earth it could only be destruction for the inhabitants of this planet. If, with the help of his Marxist creed, the Jew is victorious over the other peoples of the world, his crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity and this planet will, as it did thousands of years ago, move through the ether devoid of men. ETERNAL NATURE INEXORABLY AVENGES THE INFRINGEMENT OF HER COMMANDS. HENCE today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: By defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” 」(Mein Kampf)
Here is a clear explanation.
「 ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS QUOTATIONS FROM Hitler’s Mein Kampf is, “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” Some construe this to mean Hitler believed in the Christian God and saw his war fighting against Jews as part of a religious battle that had been waged for centuries. Even though Hitler did not overtly appeal to Christianity in this statement, his use of the terms “Almighty Creator” and “Lord” would have been understood by many of his contemporaries (and those who currently ignore Hitler’s many anti-Christian utterances) as the Christian God. Anti-Semites in the Catholic or Protestant churches would have applauded him for doing “the work of the Lord.” Nonetheless, there are major problems with suggesting that this statement indicates Hitler’s Lord was the Christian God. The aim of Hitler’s anti-Semitism—the “Lord’s work” he thought he was doing—was radically different from the goal of traditional Christian anti-Semitism. The context itself suggests Hitler had some other kind of God in mind. Hitler was fulminating against the “Jewish doctrine of Marxism,” which he thought “rejects the aristocratic principle OF NATURE.” In the sentence IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING his famous quotation about doing the work of the Lord, Hitler stated, “ETERNAL NATURE INEXORABLY AVENGES THE INFRINGEMENT OF HER COMMANDS.”
Four important points emerge from this.
First, Hitler personified nature in this passage, ascribing to it characteristics that would normally be associated with God.
Second, Hitler called NATURE ETERNAL. If he thought NATURE EXISTED FOREVER, as this statement indicated, then the God he believed in could not have created nature sometime in the past.
Thus Hitler’s God was not even a deistic, much less a theistic, God. The “Almighty Creator” he mentioned in the following sentence could not have created nature, MAKING IT HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT HITLER’S “CREATOR” WAS NATURE.
Third, Hitler believed that NATURE’S COMMANDS DEFINED MORALITY, since he claimed NATURE ISSUES COMMANDS.
Finally, the juxtaposition of these two sentences implies the NATURE HE DEIFIED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE IS THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR AND LORD HE MENTIONED IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, especially since the two sentences are linked by the word “HENCE” (in the original German, this was the word “so”):
“ETERNAL NATURE inexorably avenges the infringement of her commands. HENCE today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
Thus, the “Lord” on whose behalf Hitler was fighting the Jews was none other than nature deified.」
No it was for Krishna who is the controller of nature. You are speculating. Hitler was not an impersonalist pagan, he was a personalist.
“You are speculating”
What is there to speculate when things are very clear: “ETERNAL NATURE INEXORABLY AVENGES THE INFRINGEMENT OF HER COMMANDS. HENCE today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: By defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
“ETERNAL NATURE”
Yes nature is eternal but it’s manifestation is temporary and it has a ALMIGHTY CREATOR. That creator is who Hitler was working for.
nature is not eternal, it will be destroyed at a certain point in time by God and again created by God.
“That creator is who Hitler was working for.”
But the whole passage tells otherwise: https://truth.prabhupada.org.uk/hitler-sought-krishnas-blessing-with-the-swastika#comment-3195
“the aristocratic PRINCIPLE OF NATURE”
Finally, the juxtaposition of … two sentences (i.e. ” “ETERNAL NATURE INEXORABLY AVENGES THE INFRINGEMENT OF HER COMMANDS.” and “HENCE today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord”) implies the NATURE HE DEIFIED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE IS THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR AND LORD HE MENTIONED IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, especially since the two sentences are linked by the word “HENCE” (in the original German, this was the word “so”)
Also in another passage from the same mein kampf Hitler conflates God’s will with Nature’s Will.
Also, Hitler associated with Hans Gunther who too thought exactly as Hitler that nature existed FOREVER.
「 Another early twentieth-century figure who shared many affinities with Hitler’s religious views was Hans F. K. Günther, whom Hitler admired for his writings on Nordic racism. Hitler was so enthusiastic about Günther’s work that he pressed Wilhelm Frick to appoint him to a professorship in social anthropology at the University of Jena in 1930, and Hitler attended his inaugural lecture. When Hitler instituted a Nazi Party Prize for Art and Science at the 1935 Nuremberg Party Rally, he bestowed the first prize for science on Günther. 35 In 1934, Günther discussed Nordic religion in his book Piety of a Nordic Kind. (The copy of this book was owned by the Adolf Hitler School, an elite Nazi educational institution, so, clearly the Nazis approved of this work.) In this book, Günther examined the religiosity of the Indo-Germanic people, not the specific content of their religions, yet he admitted that pantheism or some kind of mysticism is more compatible with Nordic religious inclinations than theism is. LIKE HITLER, HE BELIEVED THAT THE WORLD IS ETERNAL, AND HE DISMISSED AS AN “EASTERN” INVENTION THE IDEA THAT GOD CREATED THE WORLD (“Eastern” likely meant Jewish in this context—it clearly was not referring to South or East Asian religions.) He also denied body-soul dualism, the need for redemption, and the existence of an afterlife, claiming instead that true religion should focus on this world. He insisted that authentic Indo-German religiosity should pursue some form of “natural religion” rather than theistic religion.」
“Men owe their higher existence, not to the ideas of a few crazy ideologists, but to the knowledge and ruthless application of NATURE’s stern and rigid laws.”
~ Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler.
The subject of the Bhagavad-gita entails the comprehension of five basic truths. First of all, the science of God is explained and then the constitutional position of the living entities, jivas. There is isvara, which means controller, and there are jivas, the living entities which are controlled. If a living entity says that he is not controlled but that he is free, then he is insane. The living being is controlled in every respect, at least in his conditioned life. So in the Bhagavad-gita the subject matter deals with the isvara, the supreme controller, and the jivas, the controlled living entities. Prakrti (material nature) and time (the duration of existence of the whole universe or the manifestation of material nature) and karma (activity) are also discussed.
Out of these five basic subject matters in Bhagavad-gita it is established that the Supreme Godhead, or Krsna, or Brahman, or supreme controller, or Paramatma—you may use whatever name you like—is the greatest of all. The living beings are in quality like the supreme controller. For instance, the Lord has control over the universal affairs, over material nature, etc., as will be explained in the later chapters of Bhagavad-gita. Material nature is not independant. She is acting under the directions of the Supreme Lord. As Lord Krsna says, “Prakrti is working under My direction.” When we see wonderful things happening in the cosmic nature, we should know that behind this cosmic manifestation there is a controller. Nothing could be manifested without being controlled. It is childish not to consider the controller. For instance, a child may think that an automobile is quite wonderful to be able to run without a horse or other animal pulling it, but a sane man knows the nature of the automobile’s engineering arrangement. He always knows that behind the machinery there is a man, a driver. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is a driver under whose direction everything is working.
What is material nature? This is also explained in Gita as inferior prakrti, inferior nature. The living entity is explained as the superior prakrti. Prakrti is always under control, whether inferior or superior. Prakrti is female, and she is controlled by the Lord just as the activities of a wife are controlled by the husband. Prakrti is always subordinate, predominated by the Lord, who is the predominator. The living entities and material nature are both predominated, controlled by the Supreme Lord. According to the Gita, the living entities, although parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, are to be considered prakrti. This is clearly mentioned in the Seventh Chapter, fifth verse of Bhagavad-gita: “Apareyam itas tv anyam.” “This prakrti is My lower nature.” “Prakrtim viddhi me param jiva-bhutam maha-baho yayedam dharyate jagat.” And beyond this there is another prakrti: jiva-bhutam, the living entity.
Prakrti itself is constituted by three qualities: the mode of goodness, the mode of passion and the mode of ignorance. Above these modes there is eternal time, and by a combination of these modes of nature and under the control and purview of eternal time there are activities which are called karma. These activities are being carried out from time immemorial, and we are suffering or enjoying the fruits of our activities. For instance, suppose I am a businessman and have worked very hard with intelligence and have amassed a great bank balance. Then I am an enjoyer. But then say I have lost all my money in business; then I am a sufferer. Similarly, in every field of life we enjoy the results of our work, or we suffer the results. This is called karma.
Isvara (the Supreme Lord), jiva (the living entity), prakrti (nature), eternal time and karma (activity) are all explained in the Bhagavad-gita. Out of these five, the Lord, the living entities, material nature and time are eternal. The manifestation of prakrti may be temporary, but it is not false. Some philosophers say that the manifestation of material nature is false, but according to the philosophy of Bhagavad-gita or according to the philosophy of the Vaisnavas, this is not so. The manifestation of the world is not accepted as false; it is accepted as real, but temporary. It is likened unto a cloud which moves across the sky, or the coming of the rainy season which nourishes grains. As soon as the rainy season is over and as soon as the cloud goes away, all the crops which were nourished by the rain dry up. Similarly, this material manifestation takes place at a certain interval, stays for a while and then disappears. Such are the workings of prakrti But this cycle is working eternally. Therefore prakrti is eternal; it is not false. The Lord refers to this as “My prakrti.” This material nature is the separated energy of the Supreme Lord, and similarly the living entities are also the energy of the Supreme Lord, but they are not separated. They are eternally related. So the Lord, the living entity, material nature and time are all interrelated and are all eternal. However, the other item, karma, is not eternal. The effects of karma may be very old indeed. We are suffering or enjoying the results of our activities from time immemorial, but we can change the results of our karma, or our activity, and this change depends on the perfection of our knowledge. We are engaged in various activities. Undoubtedly we do not know what sort of activities we should adopt to gain relief from the actions and reactions of all these activities, but this is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita.
HITLER ACCEPTED TRUE CHRISTIANITY and he was not like you say (jewish in mentality) accepting only this world (nature) He accepted a creator which means someone beyond nature = KRISHNA.
“TRUE CHRISTIANITY”
Jesus: Spoke positively about the Old Testament and the characters in the Old Testament (who are considered Godly men such as Joseph of Egypt, Abraham, etc)
Hitler: Spoke derogatrily about Old Testament, and spoke derogatrilty about the Characters from Old Testament (who are considered Godly men such as Joseph of Egypt, Abraham, etc) for eg: in one speech Hitler EXPLICITLY says Abraham (who is considered as a man of God) was PIMP, not just Abraham but all of the descendants of Abraham.
-“He accepted a creator”
“ETERNAL NATURE” ~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
「When Hitler called nature eternal in Mein Kampf, this was not just a slip of the pen (or typewriter). He referred to nature as eternal on several occasions throughout his career. In an essay he wrote in January 1923, Hitler castigated those who were vacillating between bravery and cowardice, claiming they would ultimately fail because “[e]ternal nature denies them strength in the struggle for existence.”

Good work MD.
Analysis of Vedic astronomy reveals extremely ancient astronomical observations that are only experienced in the circumpolar heavens: eg.
[https://ia902906.us.archive.org/4/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.97239/2015.97239.The-Arctic-Home-In-The-Vedas.pdf].
Adolf Hitler reached the same conclusion [as eventually, most Aryans do]: ie.
[quote]. ‘The idea that the Sun is depicted as a deity, circling the earth on a chariot with fiery horses, can only have originated in the north. Only there [in the circumpolar latitudes] does the sun circle the rim of the horizon, only there can such a concept be born. And the same holds true for the swastika.’ [unquote]. (Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidante. Otto Wagner. p. 82).
If Hitler thought nature is “eternal” as the specific passage in Mein Kampf indicates then obviously Hitler is wrong.
Everything is created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna, including nature.
“The ordinary man or the so-called scientist, they say, “It is nature producing.” But they do not know what is nature, who is supervising the natural activities, the material nature, how it is working.
That is said in the Bhagavad-gītā: mayādhyakṣeṇa (BG 9.10). Kṛṣṇa says, “Under My superintendence the nature is working.” That is the fact. ” ”
~ Swami A.C.Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada, Lecture BG 07.01 – Hong Kong
But don’t go too much into what Hitler thought we know for a FACT that Hitler believed that some Man would come in the future to enact a new religion, this is something recorded in numerous independent sources from Goebbels Diaries, Hess testimony, Heinze Linge interview, Leni Reinstaff memoirs, etc. That Great Man whom Hitler was referring to was NONE OTHER than Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada.
So God was indeed working through Hitler, the REAL purpose of Hitler WAS NOT to elevate Germany or Germans NOTHING OF THAT SORT, (as a matter of fact Hitler’s deed only made the situation of Germans 10 times worst than before) THE REAL PURPOSE of Adolf Hitler was to create a field for the coming of Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada.
Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa under the motive to gain living space (the propaganda reason was it was a preemptive strike which is false), but the REAL REASON which Hitler HIMSELF was not aware was Hitler was creating the field for the coming of Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada by destroying Atheistic Communism.
The millions of Germans fought NOT FOR their fatherland or some nonsense like fatherland. They fought to create the field for the coming of Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada.
Conclusion: Hitler was a servant of Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada. Who executed his duties as Kshatriya, unbeknownst to himself.
