Biography of Vadim Tuneev

And the devotees had to hold his meetings secretly. About this difficult period of his life Bhakti Vigyan Gosvami: “During the repressions of the programs, they began to pass underground, mainly in the forest. When they put Vishvamitra and Surya, the article “Ideological sabotage” came out, and these words sounded ominously. There was a photograph: outstretched legs, the man himself was not visible, and the Surya, who washes them and almost kisses them.

The article said that such a sect started, in which they wash their feet to foreigners, Americans, and then drink this water. This is an ideological sabotage. And then I felt scared. Once I came to Ashutosha, and he said: "Remember, Vishvamitra was, so, he was arrested." People began to disappear. I then tried to bring some of my friends so that Ashutosha would preach to them, but they scattered.

I can’t understand one thing: why I myself have remained free all this time. ” Once, at the beginning of the year, an officer of the KGB, who introduced himself as a “Colonel Belopotapov”, came to Wayanatha. He was engaged in the business in the Krishnas, and Vaidyanatha was already heard about him. From the memoirs of Bhakti Vigyana Gosvami: “He began to explain to me that they know that I was engaged in dissertation and that she would go under the tail, I could not protect her, and, in the end, you can sit in the camp or where else.

But if I agree to inform them, then they will allow me to defend the dissertation. Completed on a note of patriotic duty - the Komsomolets! I said that I should think that I can’t immediately agree like that. In principle, initially the environment of Moscow students was slightly frontist. I perfectly understood that it was worth at least a little to enter this system, you will not come out of it anymore.

But there was fear, because it was obvious - they did not joke. The colonel made me a meeting at the Russia hotel. ” I knew several people, but at the most confidence in Malini: she was an ordinary girl and at the same time a strong man. I am very grateful to her for everything that she did for me at that time. At the meeting, I talked about the threats of this colonel.

She listened and said: "But all this is nonsense." And she did it so naturally, without a drop of drawing that I also thought: “Why is it terrible? What can they do? Well, they will put it ... So what? It's OK". When I went to a meeting with the colonel, although my heart was pounding, I felt some support from Krishna. And this support, oddly enough, in this situation came from the little girl Malini, whom I will always be grateful for this.

Perhaps the most amazing thing is that Krishna can use a variety of people to give us strength and support, but we need to be always grateful to these people. This is what is required of us. ” And then the second meeting of Weyanatha with Belopotapov took place. I came to the Russia hotel, where Colonel Belopotapov with his assistant was already waiting for me in the room.

I had the feeling that he had no doubt about my positive answer to his request. He saw that in my case too much was laid on the scales. Most of the devotees at that time were people who had nothing to lose, without much position in society, without special attachments. But at that time I was included in society: I had a career, my own idea of ​​my future. I believe that the colonel was practically sure that I would meet his proposal.

Glancing triumphantly at me, he asked: - Well, how, do you agree? When he heard this, he shouted: - What are your principles except four regulatory?! I realized that he is well aware of our philosophy and practice. Then he shouted at me for a long time, stomped with his feet, but everything went without special consequences. ” As often happens in life, many difficult situations have great value to us, as they bring them closer to God.

For some time there was a feeling that they had forgotten about me, although it was clear that they were following. And I want to emphasize especially one thing. In my spiritual biography, this incident played a positive role because it made me more serious about Krishna's consciousness. I think that in most biographies of other devotees you can trace the same thing: external pressure helped and not interfered.

It helped to become more serious, sincere, helped to feel what I make this choice myself. Now, when everything is allowed, when the activity of devoted ministry does not pose any danger, some devotees have the feeling that someone forces them to do this. But at that time, it was this external pressure and resistance to the adoption of this practice that helped to feel that I needed it, and not to anyone else.

The trial of the Krishnas and moving to Tashkent later took a great process over the Krishnas, which was partly connected with Vajyanatha. He ended up in the thick of events, because he arranged in an apartment, the keys of which was given to him by one employee of the Research Institute, the celebration of Gaura-Purnima-the day of the appearance of Lord Chatanya. This celebration was then blamed for many Krishnas who took part in it.In the trial, Vaidyanatha did not hit the bench of the defendants, but acted as a witness.

After the process was completed, escaping from massive pressure and interrogations, Vaidyanatha moved to live in Tashkent. There he was also summoned to the prosecutor’s office, where he was met by the KGB investigator, with whom Vayanathi had a “long and meaningless conversation”, after which the investigator appointed him the next meeting a few days later.

Bhakti Vigyana Gosvami recalls: “All this was unpleasant. Although there was no torture in relation to me, but purely psychologically it was a terrible event, something like interrogations, and I went every time at the Calvary. ” Bhakti Vigyana Gosvami says: “Then there was one case that strengthened my faith in Krishna's consciousness. At somewhere about six to seven, they began to pass one scenario.

I came in a nervous, frightened state, not understanding why all this was needed when it would end and what consequences he threatens. A meaningless conversation began, where I was a victim, and the investigator of the executioner. But at some point, unexpectedly for me, the roles changed, I began to feel the strength, mainly from the mantra arising in the sound of the Harikushi Maharaj, then I listened a lot to his records of the “Race”, which began to sound in my mind, as if by the magic of a magic wand.

There was even a feeling that she sounds outside me. And when I heard this sound, I felt a surge of strength and energy, fear disappeared somewhere, I began to behave freely, without complexes. And, on the contrary, the investigator somehow wilted, bought up and looked out in the sides. This was repeated every time, so, going to the meeting, although I was scared, I knew that at some point I would sound the mantra, and I would feel fun and arrogant, and the investigator is very frightened.

This ended with one incident. The investigator appointed me another meeting, and the approach of this day spoiled the mood, I thought about it. Once, late in the evening I returned from the underground program, which we arranged with Tashkent devotees. There was a good kirtan. When at my metro station, not far from the house, I walked along a deserted crossing, I suddenly saw this investigator.

The first thought was: “Well, everyone surrounded, they follow me. They will be arrested now. ” We looked at each other. And suddenly I realized that he was drunk. Maybe he just pretended, but since he staggered and looked at me with a muddy look, I believed that he was very drunk. And this halo of power that surrounded him was scattered. Actually, as I now understand, I myself allowed him and all this punitive apparatus to get into my heart and act there in the form of fear, despite the defense of Krishna.

When I saw him in this state, with his usual earthly weakness, I thought: "Lord, this is an unhappy, poor, confused person." At the same moment, the fear of him and everything that surrounded him left, and his place was replaced by pity. I walked and thought: “Unfortunate people. They themselves know nothing, drink, they have the same human weaknesses. ” And while I was walking, I made a firm decision that I would no longer go to these meetings.

A sense of freedom appeared inside, and this man ceased to exert on me the influence that I myself allowed him to exert on me. And in this I see the hand of Krishna, who saved me from the dependence in which I put myself because of my fear and imperfection. Since then I have not gone to interrogations anymore. Although in other places there were trials over the Krishnas, in Tashkent everything was calm for several years.

According to the memoirs of Bhakti Vigyana Gosvami, these were one of the best years in his life, which he still recalls with great nostalgia.

But this is a slightly sucking sense of danger and, at the same time, a feeling of a certain hero, and the sermon in this situation was permeated with some special feeling. ” The return to Moscow soon Vaidyanatha returned to Moscow, where he was engaged in the translation or editing of Vaisnavian books. Kortiraj wanted Vaidyanatha to go there translating the books of Bhaktivanta Swami Prabhupada.

Vajyanathe, however, did not want to leave, since he liked the society of Russian Vaishnavov and the work that he did. Therefore, he delayed his departure abroad. The defense of the candidate dissertation, although Vaidyanathe was banned from defending his dissertation, he continued to work at the same institute. After some time, in the year, when everything calmed down, at the suggestion of his chief Vayanatha, he finally defended his thesis on the topic “Nucleos's structure.

Development of methods for localizing the areas of histone molecules interacting with DNA. ”
