After hundreds and hundreds of years of planning, International Jewry were approaching the completion of their cherished goal of world domination. Then suddenly and totally unexpectedly the Lord put a spanner in their evil works or two divine thorns in their side.

Quote from Osho Rajneesh, saying that the same Buddhist esoteric group that was behind Theosophy, and working on making Krishnamurti a world teacher…
When the Krishnamurti project failed.
The same Buddhist esoteric group worked on Hitler, and helped him spiritually to fight the Jews.
The part about Hitler toward the end on this quote.

“This esoteric group cannot be created suddenly. Buddha happens suddenly, but this group cannot be created suddenly. So countries which have been spiritual for thousands of years have esoteric groups as a continuity, as a tradition. And whenever there is this kind of happening, the group begins to work.
Ashoka created a group which is still existing — a group of nine persons. Whenever a person dies, another replaces him, so the group still continues. Whenever one dies, the eight remaining ones will choose one to replace him. He will be trained by the eight, so the training continues. Persons change, but the group remains, and still today the group is there, because a reincarnation of Buddha is awaited. He can come at any time. And when Buddha is there, you cannot suddenly create the group, because this group of esoteric adepts is created through a long training and discipline. This is not a sudden happening.
So many times groups have been started. Sometimes they continue and then wither away. Sometimes they go on and then are no more, because so many difficulties are there. Many difficulties are there! This group of Ashoka’s nine esoteric ones still continues because there are many conditions which help it to. One is it never comes directly in contact with the masses itself. It has still other groups is between. It always remains unknown, hidden. You can never know its whereabouts. And any person who is initiated in the group, the very moment he is initiated he disappears from your world — completely disappears. Then you can never know anything about him, the group can continue anonymously.
This group has many keys and many methods. Through those keys and methods, it goes on working in many ways. This is a group whose members are in the physical body, they are as alive as we are. Once someone has become a member of the group, he cannot be chosen again in another life. Then he will work as a link between the group and the masses. This creates another circle around the nine, a greater circle, because so many persons have been members of it. They know Buddha directly, they know the esoteric adepts directly. They are so experienced that they can remain in the masses and can continue the work with the group. But they will not be its members. When someone of this group is not born on this earth, when he is without a physical body, if he remains in a non-body existence, he still continues to work.
There are so many adepts who are not in this physical body who go on working. Theosophists call them masters — such as Master Koot Humi. These are fictitious names, but they refer to a particular personality, an individuality. They are fictitious names, but they refer to a particular unembodied soul which is helping.
This Master K.-H., one of the most ancient adepts of Ashoka’s circle of nine, created the whole movement of theosophy. They were trying to create a situation in which Buddha’s coming incarnation could be possible, because Buddha had said that after twenty-five centuries he would again be born and his name would be Maitreya. And an enlightened person like Gautam Buddha is capable of knowing about who is going to be enlightened twenty-five centuries later. So Buddha predicted, and for this happening Ashoka’s circle of nine has been working for centuries. Now the time is near, so the theosophy movement was just a preparation.
It failed, the experiment failed. They experimented with three or four people to be made vehicles for Maitreya to descend, but the experiment failed. Something or other missed. Sometimes the thing was just on the brim of success, and something happened. Krishnamurti was ready, completely ready, to be made a vehicle. Everything was ready. He came on the pulpit to surrender himself and to become so empty that Maitreya could come in. But at the last moment he denied surrender. No one around him could think that this was going to happen. Not even a hint was given that Krishnamurti, in the last step, would fail and come back. And that is why, after that phenomenon, after that happening of coming back, for his whole life, continuously for forty years, he has been emphasizing individuality, “Be an individual!”
This has a meaning. The whole preparation was to lose one’s individuality, otherwise one cannot become a vehicle: “Be as if you are not! Surrender totally to forces beyond you.” He denied surrender just on the brink of jumping. Everything was ready. One step and Maitreya would have been in the world.
But the last step could not be taken. He came back. He said, “I am myself.” That is why his whole philosophy became, “Do not surrender, do not follow, do not believe, do not be a disciple.” The whole thing is just an outcome; it is just rationalization and consolation.
He has been working for forty years continuously out of that step that could not be taken. Still he is not out of it. The repentance is there, the would is there. He could not surrender at the last moment. So theosophy failed with Krishnamurti and became a dead movement, because the movement existed only for the materialization of this happening. It became meaningless. The house had been built, but the master never came to reside in it. So after Krishnamurti’s denial to be a vehicle for Maitreya, theosophy became meaningless. It still continues, just like a hangover, but nothing substantial exists now.
This whole movement was created by the nine adepts of Ashoka. They are still working. In so many ways, they go on working. And there is a history behind our so-called history of which you will not even be able to conceive. History has a deeper base. The periphery which we know as history is not of real events. Behind out so-called history continues another, a deeper one, about which we know nothing.
For example, we all have heard about Hitler, his fascism, his whole movement, his desperate efforts to do something. But no one knows that there is something behind which is hidden. Hitler was just a vehicle for other forces. Now there are glimpses that he was not the real actor in the drama. He was just a means, he was used. Someone else was behind him, some other forces were working. For example, the choice of the swastika, the symbol of Adolf Hitler’s party — this is the oldest, the most ancient symbol of a particular school of adepts.
The entire concept of Hitler’s philosophy was given by some hidden schools. They used him just as Krishnamurti was going to be used by the theosophists and the hidden groups. Hitler continued winning up to a certain extent, up to a certain moment. He was just winning: there was no defeat. The thing was phenomenal, he could just win anything, it looked as if he was undefeatable. But beyond a certain time, everything begins to go in reverse. Why did this happen?
Forces which were against Nazism defeated Hitler, but that is not the real history. That was just an outward phenomenon. Hitler was used by an esoteric group. This was one of the most desperate efforts, because this esoteric group was working for centuries but could not help humanity as they desired to help. This was a desperate effort to help humanity before humanity destroys itself on this earth. So they had tried through saints, through persons who were powerless, who were poor in spirit. They tried through Adolf Hitler to win the whole world before it is destroyed and to give a certain teaching to humanity.
But just like Krishnamurti became independent at the last moment, Hitler also became independent. He began to go down. This is the miracle of war history. It had never happened before. Hitler would not take the advice of any general. He would move or attack, but no advice would be taken from any general. And even against the advice of all his trained persons, he would act and move as he liked, and still he would win. There were absurd moves, nonsensical moves. No one who knows anything about war would have taken those moves. But Hitler would take them and he won for three years.
Everyone who was around him knew that he was just a vehicle of some greater force. This was not explainable. And whenever he would order, he would not be in his conscious mind. This is a new fact which has become known now. Whenever he would order, he would just be ecstatic.
His eyes would be closed, he would begin to tremble, he would perspire, and then his voice would change completely. Another voice would order. But the day he began to fall, his own voice began to order. From that point, from that moment, he was never in ecstasy. Some contact which was working was lost.
Now those who study Adolf Hitler and his life all feel that the phenomenon was not merely political. The person himself was not just a political maniac, not just a mad politician, because whatsoever he did was absolutely nonpolitical — his whole approach. And those who had remained with him felt that he was a split personality. In his ordinary moments, he was so ordinary that you could not conceive of it. There was no magic; he was just ordinary. But when he was taken over, possessed, he was quite an altogether different personality.
Who was behind this? Some esoteric group was behind this, and that esoteric group was trying something. When Hitler became independent, he lost every power. In his last days, he was just ordinary. After this particular moment, when he lost contact, whatsoever he did went against him. Before this, whatsoever he did was always in his favor.
The same group I have been talking to you about, the nine of Ashoka, was behind it. They were trying to capture the whole world.
It was not just a coincidence that Japan became friendly to Germany. It was because of this group of nine people. This is the hidden fact. The esoteric group that was working behind Hitler was a Buddhist group, so a Buddhist country, Japan, could be influenced to side with Hitler. And the whole East felt exhilarated when Hitler was winning. The whole East was with Hitler inwardly. The group that was working behind him was an Eastern group.”

was buddha an aryan/white person ?
Buddha was an empowered incarnation of the Lord, read this:
TRANSLATION
Then, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, the Lord will appear as Lord Buddha, the son of Anjana, in the province of Gaya, just for the purpose of deluding those who are envious of the faithful theist.
PURPORT
Lord Buddha, a powerful incarnation of the Personality of Godhead, appeared in the province of Gaya (Bihar) as the son of Anjana, and he preached his own conception of nonviolence and deprecated even the animal sacrifices sanctioned in the Vedas. At the time when Lord Buddha appeared, the people in general were atheistic and preferred animal flesh to anything else. On the plea of Vedic sacrifice, every place was practically turned into a slaughterhouse, and animal-killing was indulged in unrestrictedly. Lord Buddha preached nonviolence, taking pity on the poor animals. He preached that he did not believe in the tenets of the Vedas and stressed the adverse psychological effects incurred by animal-killing. Less intelligent men of the age of Kali, who had no faith in God, followed his principle, and for the time being they were trained in moral discipline and nonviolence, the preliminary steps for proceeding further on the path of God realization. He deluded the atheists because such atheists who followed his principles did not believe in God, but they kept their absolute faith in Lord Buddha, who himself was the incarnation of God. Thus the faithless people were made to believe in God in the form of Lord Buddha. That was the mercy of Lord Buddha: he made the faithless faithful to him.
Killing of animals before the advent of Lord Buddha was the most prominent feature of the society. People claimed that these were Vedic sacrifices. When the Vedas are not accepted through the authoritative disciplic succession, the casual readers of the Vedas are misled by the flowery language of that system of knowledge. In the Bhagavad-gita a comment has been made on such foolish scholars (avipascitah). The foolish scholars of Vedic literature who do not care to receive the transcendental message through the transcendental realized sources of disciplic succession are sure to be bewildered. To them, the ritualistic ceremonies are considered to be all in all. They have no depth of knowledge. According to the Bhagavad-gita (15.15), vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah: the whole system of the Vedas is to lead one gradually to the path of the Supreme Lord. The whole theme of Vedic literature is to know the Supreme Lord, the individual soul, the cosmic situation and the relation between all these items. When the relation is known, the relative function begins, and as a result of such a function the ultimate goal of life or going back to Godhead takes place in the easiest manner. Unfortunately, unauthorized scholars of the Vedas become captivated by the purificatory ceremonies only, and natural progress is thereby checked.
To such bewildered persons of atheistic propensity, Lord Buddha is the emblem of theism. He therefore first of all wanted to check the habit of animal-killing. The animal-killers are dangerous elements on the path going back to Godhead. There are two types of animal-killers. The soul is also sometimes called the “animal” or the living being. Therefore, both the slaughterer of animals and those who have lost their identity of soul are animal-killers.
Maharaja Pariksit said that only the animal-killer cannot relish the transcendental message of the Supreme Lord. Therefore if people are to be educated to the path of Godhead, they must be taught first and foremost to stop the process of animal-killing as above mentioned. It is nonsensical to say that animal-killing has nothing to do with spiritual realization. By this dangerous theory many so-called sannyasis have sprung up by the grace of Kali-yuga who preach animal-killing under the garb of the Vedas. The subject matter has already been discussed in the conversation between Lord Caitanya and Maulana Chand Kazi Shaheb. The animal sacrifice as stated in the Vedas is different from the unrestricted animal-killing in the slaughterhouse. Because the asuras or the so-called scholars of Vedic literatures put forward the evidence of animal-killing in the Vedas, Lord Buddha superficially denied the authority of the Vedas. This rejection of the Vedas by Lord Buddha was adopted in order to save people from the vice of animal-killing as well as to save the poor animals from the slaughtering process of their big brothers who clamor for universal brotherhood, peace, justice and equity. There is no justice when there is animal-killing. Lord Buddha wanted to stop it completely, and therefore his cult of ahimsa was propagated not only in India but also outside the country.
Technically Lord Buddha’s philosophy is called atheistic because there is no acceptance of the Supreme Lord and because that system of philosophy denied the authority of the Vedas. But that is an act of camouflage by the Lord. Lord Buddha is the incarnation of Godhead. As such, he is the original propounder of Vedic knowledge. He therefore cannot reject Vedic philosophy. But he rejected it outwardly because the sura-dvisa, or the demons who are always envious of the devotees of Godhead, try to support cow-killing or animal-killing from the pages of the Vedas, and this is now being done by the modernized sannyasis. Lord Buddha had to reject the authority of the Vedas altogether. This is simply technical, and had it not been so he would not have been so accepted as the incarnation of Godhead. Nor would he have been worshiped in the transcendental songs of the poet Jayadeva, who is a Vaisnava acarya. Lord Buddha preached the preliminary principles of the Vedas in a manner suitable for the time being (and so also did Sankaracarya) to establish the authority of the Vedas. Therefore both Lord Buddha and Acarya Sankara paved the path of theism, and Vaisnava acaryas, specifically Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, led the people on the path towards a realization of going back to Godhead.
We are glad that people are taking interest in the nonviolent movement of Lord Buddha. But will they take the matter very seriously and close the animal slaughterhouses altogether? If not, there is no meaning to the ahimsa cult.
Srimad-Bhagavatam was composed just prior to the beginning of the age of Kali (about five thousand years ago), and Lord Buddha appeared about twenty-six hundred years ago. Therefore in the Srimad-Bhagavatam Lord Buddha is foretold. Such is the authority of this clear scripture. There are many such prophecies, and they are being fulfilled one after another. They will indicate the positive standing of Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is without trace of mistake, illusion, cheating and imperfection, which are the four flaws of all conditioned souls. The liberated souls are above these flaws; therefore they can see and foretell things which are to take place on distant future dates.
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.24
Sorry sir you are wrong Lord Budha was not empowered avatar, Lord Budha was Bhagavan Sri Krishna himself
Proof: –
“Lord Buddha’s appearance is described in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and many Vedic literatures. Sura-dviṣām. He came to cheat the demons. The demons… He made such a policy that the demons were cheated. How he has cheated? The demons, they are against God. They don’t believe in God. So Lord Buddha propagated, “Yes, there is no God. But what I say, you follow.” “Yes, sir.” But he is God. This is cheating. Yes. They do not believe in God, but they believe in Buddha, and Buddha is God. Keśava-dhṛta-buddha-śarīra jaya jagadīśa hare”
AC BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI SRILA PRABHUPADA, May 03, 1970
Yes, Lord Jesus was jivatattva. He is not Visnu tattva. When a jiva tattva becomes specifically empowered by the Lord, he is called saktyavesa avatara. Lord Buddha and Lord Jesus Christ were in this group of saktyavesa avatara.. But they were not in conditioned state when they appeared; they came to teach here.

Regarding your second point, all incarnations should be proper nouns and therefore capitalized. It does not matter whether they are Visnutattva or jivatattva, saktyavesa-avatara. or plenary expansion. The incarnations listed however may be classified as follows: Visnutattva: Kapila, Nara Narayana, Rama, Balarama, Krsna, the Purusas, the Boar, Yajna, Rsabha, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini and Kalki. Jivatattva (empowered): Narada, Vyasa, Buddha, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu and Bhrgupati.
Hope this will meet you in good health.

____________________________
In every single statement above from Swani Srila Prabhupada, he clearly mentions that Lord Buddha is GOD.
And YES, Lord Buddha is GOD.
” Lord Buddha is God. ” ~ -MELBOURNE – AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, April 07, 1972
Yes the power of God is God. So anyone empowered by God is God in that sense. But Buddha was Jiva soul not Visnu tattva. THAT PRABHUPADA CLEARLY EXPLAINS.
Regarding your second point, all incarnations should be proper nouns and therefore capitalized. It does not matter whether they are Visnutattva or jivatattva, saktyavesa-avatara. or plenary expansion. The incarnations listed however may be classified as follows: Visnutattva: Kapila, Nara Narayana, Rama, Balarama, Krsna, the Purusas, the Boar, Yajna, Rsabha, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini and Kalki. Jivatattva (empowered): Narada, Vyasa, Buddha, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu and Bhrgupati.
Hope this will meet you in good health.
Letter to: Jayadvaita

Los Angeles

Yes, Lord Buddha is Jivatattva, as Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada himself said in the letter to Jayadvaita(Los Angeles 12 July 1970), At the same time Lord Buddha is GOD himself too.
“So Lord Buddha, although incarnation of Kṛṣṇa” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, -LOS ANGELES – February 18, 1970
One and different my friend. He is God because he has the special power of God which is God but he is also different being a jiva soul.
Thanks for this compilation,
His divine grace unambiguously says Lord Buddha is GOD.
There are not less than 50 statements from Swami Srila Prabhupada where he asserts again and again that Lord Buddha is God.
So a letter which you have shown here must be a circumstantial truth, as in MAJORITY of quotes he clearly asserts Lord Buddha is GOD. And YES Lord Buddha is indeed GOD himself.
Prabhuji, we are almost close, but slight disagreement, let me explain.
“One and different my friend. He is God because he has the special power of God which is God but he is also different being a jiva soul.”
Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada says these
-> Lord Buddha is Jivatattva (empowered). (Proof is the letters written by his divine Grace, which you have brought forward, for which I thank you)
-> Lord Buddha is GOD (Proof is the numerous statements made by his divien Grace Swami Prabhupada, which I compiled and posted it)
But Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada doesn’t say this
-> God (Bhagavan Sri Krishan) empowered Lord Buddha. (If you find any such statement please post it here. I will humbly accept it)
On the Contrary, Swami AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada this
-> “Lord Buddha, a powerful incarnation OF the Personality of Godhead “ ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, SB 1.3.24, PURPORT
So, God empowered himself, to be incarnated as Lord Buddha.
Yes -> Lord Buddha is Jivatattva, Lord Buddha is God
No-> God empowered Lord Buddha( Because Buddha himself is GOD.)
Yes-> God empowered himself, to be incarnated as Lord Buddha because he was merciful towards the poor Mother Cow and other animals who were been slaughtered in the name of Yajna.
Here, in this case, the empowered is GOD( i.e. Buddha), and the empowering is also done by
GOD(Sri Krishna).
In other cases( i.e. Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, and Bhrgupati) they are not GOD, but they are the BEST OF THE BEST, DEDICATED, FAITHFUL devotees, servitors of God, they are Vaisnavas, very high elevated personalities, they are very dear to GOD. But they are not GOD. All humanity should follow their footsteps to go back to home back to godhead.
These GREAT PERSONALITIES, WHO ARE THE BEST SERVANTS OF GOD, are EMPOWERED by GOD.
But Lord Buddha is GOD himself.
One question is your name David or perhaps greg… lol?
Well if he is jiva tattva he is not Visnu Tattva right? It is simple to understand. he is empowered jiva.
“Well if he is jiva tattva”
Yes, right
“he is not Visnu Tattva right?”
Yes correct
” he is empowered jiva.”
Yes, at the same time, unlike other jiva tattvas, Lord Buddha is God himself.
“Buddha is Kṛṣṇa” ~ -VRNDAVAN – ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, March 16, 1974
Empowered jivas, great personalities such as Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc are SERVANTS of the GOD.
In the case of great personalities such as Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc, two individuals are involved, one is empowered (i.e. Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc) and the other is empowering (i.e. GOD).
In the case of great personalities such as Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc, the empowered are the SERVANTS(i.e. Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu) and empowering IS the MASTER(i.e. GOD)
But In the case of Lord Buddha, only one individual is involved.
The empowering is also GOD, the empowered is also GOD.
Lord Buddha is the servant of no one because he himself is the master (i.e. GOD)
It is important to note the fact that his Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, does not say the other jiva tattva such as Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc as GOD, even if he had said (which I personally I never came across), he definitely would not have said as many times as he asserted for Lord Buddha.
Do you know other Jivatatvas who is GOD himself.?? It was Lord Paraśurāma/ Bhṛgupati and Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva)
Lord Paraśurāma
1)”In the sixteenth incarnation of the Godhead, the Lord [as Bhṛgupati]” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, SB 1.3.20
2)” Lord, in His incarnation as the sage Paraśurāma” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, SB 2.7.22
3) ” My dear King Parīkṣit, in the next manvantara the lotus-eyed Personality of Godhead Lord Paraśurāma” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, SB 9.16.25
4) “Paraśurāma, an incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Krsna Book, 79
5) “there will certainly be an incarnation of God like Paraśurāma” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, SB Canto 9
6) “You also incarnated as Lord Rāmacandra, Paraśurāma and Vāmana, the dwarf. ” ~AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, CC Madhya 20.299
7) “Rāma is Bhagavān. Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān. Rāmādi-mūrtiṣu. Bhagavān has got many incarnations: Nṛsiṁhadeva, Varāhadeva, Rāma, Rāma, Paraśurāma” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, January 31, 1977, Bhuvanesvara
8) “Rāma, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha, Vāmana, Paraśurāma, Balarāma, Buddha—there are innumerable incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead” ~ AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Lecture on BG 4.12 — Bombay, April 1, 1974
9) “Lord Kṛṣṇa has plenary expansions in many, many forms, beginning with rāmādi, Lord Rāmacandra and Paraśurāma” ~ Lecture on SB 1.1.3 — Caracas, February 24, 1975
etc
Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva)
In SB 1.9.6-7
“All the sages like Parvata Muni, Nārada, Dhaumya, Vyāsa the incarnation of God, Bṛhadaśva, Bharadvāja and Paraśurāma and disciples, Vasiṣṭha, Indrapramada, Trita, Gṛtsamada, Asita, Kakṣīvān, Gautama, Atri, Kauśika and Sudarśana were present. ”
you will find AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada lists all the great devotees, great personalities, BUT you will notice that he only asserts Vyāsa as GOD. Why didn’t his divine grace assert other great personalities in the list as GOD.???
So the conclusion is some jiva tattva is GOD himself incarnating as jiva tattva, such as Lord Buddha, Lord Paraśurāma/ Bhṛgupati, Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva).
We do not find his divine Grace asserting the magnificent devotee and incredibly great personality Narada Muni as GOD. But we do find his divine Grace asserting Lord Buddha, Lord Paraśurāma/ Bhṛgupati and Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva) as GOD himself, it just explains that we living souls are always servants to the GOD, we can never become GOD/Masters, our constitutional position is servant. Hence among some jiva tattvas when God himself appears as jiva tattva he is asserted as GOD, but other jiva tattvas are not mentioned as GOD but as devotees, servants of the GOD.
“One question is your name David or perhaps greg”
Manoj
All you have to ask yourself is Why his divine grace asserts some jiva tattva as GOD himself (i.e. Lord Buddha, Lord Paraśurāma/ Bhṛgupati, Bādarāyaṇa (Vyāsadeva)) but not others (i.e. Narada, Kumaras, Dattatreya, Prthu, etc,). I have explained above.
Buddha is Jiva soul empowered HE IS NOT VISNU TATTVA. Let’s move on. Hare Krishna. Jaya Prabhupada!!!
