Well some of Srila Prabhupadas very first disciples were of Jewish background that included, Garga Muni, Brahmananda ,Tamal Krsna Maharaja ,Jadurani ,Bhurijana ,Jaydvaita Swami, Puskara Prabhu, and so many devotees. I am not Anti Semitic , I grew up in Denmark which is almost the only country in Europe where the Government saved the Jews even under Nazi occupation.

Sri Nama-sankirtana

by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada
