ISKCON Court Case / Trivrikrama / Satsvarupa / Mahatma 11 27 25

DELHI CHILD ABUSE CASE

MD: The case is being handled by competent, experienced lawyers. They got exactly what they wanted: the Supreme Court's order to take it back to the respective Offices of Child Protection. Now those Offices are on notice from the SC to do their jobs. And if they don't? Our lawyers will go BACK to the SC with that report!

PADA: Yeah, the fact the case is in the newspapers has already started a lot of people asking questions, including various GBC people asking PADA questions. The GBC's molester messiah's cat is coming out of the bag, even though it is kicking, biting and screaming to stay in there. 

It is interesting that they blame "the ritviks" for reporting all the child abuse. What difference does it make who or whom reports child abuse? Same thing we had with the GBC / Kailasa chandra / Dayalu Nita's HKC Jaipur people, well Puranjana is a bogus gopi sahajiya! He should never report child abuse, that is offending our Auschwitz for kids molester messiahs program! 

Yep, us bogus gopi sahajiyas know that mass child abuse is wrong, you guys don't. Agreed. Anyway, blaming the messenger is what criminals do and is not going to fix the problem. We said this has to go to court, these GBC folks are corrupt, and unfortunately, it does have to go to court. 

The publicity has just got started. This problem is not going away. And I told Jayapataka in 1979, if the children are mistreated, this will come back to bite ISKCON, and -- it has. Never mind the biting from Yamaraja's dogs that will happen to those who orchestrated all this.

TRIVRIKRAMA SWAMI 

PADA: Evidently Trivrikrama's marriage has fallen apart and he is living away from the wife wearing white. That did not last long? Hey how about not getting married when your kids will be 20 when you are 104? What is wrong with these people? 

Sulochana said Trivrikrama was following him around Los Angeles looking very menacing, and a few days later, Sulochana was assassinated. Sulochana said he is fighting the gay saffron MAFIA, and it looks like Trivrikrama was one of the enforcers. If that woman left him, that is great, he should not exploit that lady anymore than he already has. ys pd

Satsvarupa Maharaja Health Report for November 21, 2025

Hari Hari,

Ultimately Satsvarupa Maharaja did not go through with the podcast with Namarasa and Vyenkatta Bhatta. He just plain ran out of steam, much to the disappointment of the interviewers. At least they had lunch with him and got some of their favorite books signed. 

I was duly criticized for “allowing” the drama to go on for so long, seemingly at the expense of his health. The unseen part of the equation is realizing how determined Satsvarupa Maharaja was to share “his Prabhupada” with us despite the risks. 

Hopefully we will get better at compromising in the future so that the care team and Satsvarupa Maharaja are playing it safe but still satisfied.

All in all, Satsvarupa Maharaja has done his duty with decades of focus on writing for devotees. GN Press is on an estimated two-year marathon to finally get all his books in print. So far the number of his books listed on Amazon is 146 and climbing monthly. By crafting many different genres, there is literally something for everyone. Satsvarupa Maharaja appears tired but settled after hosting his friend Jayadvaita Swami for a few days.

your servant,
Baladeva

PADA: Yep, Satsvarupa says that "his Prabhupada" wanted the children of ISKCON to worship SDG's homosexual, pedophile, drunks and drug taking acharyas. Great idea! Then us whistle blowers could be banned, beaten, sued and killed. And ISKCON would become a ghost town because nearly everyone is disgusted with SDG's Vodka and percodan lusty dog acharyas. 

And SDG is hosting Jayadvaita swami, who admits his messiahs are falling into "illicit sex with men, women and possibly children." The molester messiahs folks deserve a lot of credit, they do help and prop each other up, whereas -- sadly -- the ritvik camps seems to be splintered. Unfortunately, SDG's program has to be exposed in court because he never addresses the issue in house. 

But he could not be interviewed because his brain has turned into mush, and he speaks too much word salad.

BOGUS JESUS TOOK TOO MUCH KARMA

Main cheer leader of the ISKCON pedophile messiah's project. 

Sulochana said, Let us hope there is no 'sex with goats' 

in their guru parampara from heaven.

We can hope not. But they cannot guarantee it.

Sulochana also called these people:

Boot lickers for the butt busters.

Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,

We kindly ask for your prayers and well-wishes for His Grace Mahatma Prabhu, who suffered a stroke on Sunday, November 23th. By Kṛṣṇa’s mercy and the expertise of the doctor, the clot was quickly identified and successfully dissolved through an angiogram.

His right arm and leg were paralyzed for a short period, but the feeling returned, and he has regained full movement and sensation. His body is fully recovered and strong. Some language-related functions were affected during the stroke, and he will be working with a speech and language specialist to support the healing. He is stable, receiving excellent care, and focusing on rest and recovery.

Thank you for keeping him in your prayers as he continues to regain strength.
Your servant,

Radhapriya Devi Dasi

GBC Foolish or Criminal?

PADA: Well as soon as we said the children were suffering under their process, we were: removed, vilified, chased with bats, chased with broom sticks, threatened in all manners possible, branded as p*ison by Satsvarupa, and in 1986 excommunicated, so they could make us targets.

And ultimately we had to be saved by the hard work of the local constables and the FEDS who were tapping their phones -- and thus intercepted the three enforcers they sent here to Berkeley to take me out. And then they sued our friends, JPS people then blamed me for making $100,000,000 in court costs, and then we had to help take them to court in Delhi now. This is not foolishness, this is called a criminal conspiracy. ys pd

Supreme Court and ISKCON Child Abuse / Sannyasa and Women 11 26 25

 

Supreme Court Steps In Over Shocking Sexual Abuse Claims in ISKCON Schools, Directs Fresh Probe by Child Rights Bodies

By Hardik Khandelwal

25 November 2025, 2:24 PM

The Supreme Court heard serious allegations of sexual abuse in ISKCON-run schools and questioned the lack of action by authorities. The bench directed petitioners to approach NCPCR and state child rights commissions, stressing that children’s safety must be examined by a neutral body.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India recently heard a serious petition concerning alleged sexual abuse of children in schools run by the ISKCON organisation. The matter was listed before a bench comprising Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan.

The case raised concerns about the safety and welfare of children and whether the authorities had taken proper action on complaints made by the victims and their representatives.

During the hearing, the counsel appearing for the petitioners informed the Court that there were grave and disturbing incidents of sexual abuse involving children in ISKCON-run schools. It was submitted that despite repeatedly informing the concerned authorities, no effective action had been taken. The counsel stated,
“There are serious incidents, and authorities aren’t acting despite reminders.”

Justice Nagarathna questioned the steps taken by the petitioners and asked, “Have you gone to NCPCR?” Responding to this, the counsel said, “Yes, but no response.”

The Court then observed that another reminder should be sent and further inquired about the status of any criminal proceedings by asking, “Send another reminder. Any FIR or investigation?”

The counsel clarified that based on the internal records of ISKCON institutions, complaints had already been made to the police authorities. After considering the submissions, the Supreme Court passed its order and disposed of the petition. The bench granted liberty to the petitioners to file a fresh representation before the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) as well as the State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

It directed that these authorities must consider the grievances raised. The Court recorded in its order,

“We dispose of this petition by reserving liberty to the petitioners herein to make a fresh representation / reminder to NCPCR, UP SCPCR and West Bengal SCPCR to bring to the notice of these respondents the allegations that are ventilated in this petition. It is needless to observe that if such representations are made to the aforesaid respondents, the same shall be considered having regard to the grievances and allegations which are stated in the representation/in the writ petition,”

During the proceedings, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing on behalf of ISKCON, argued that the petition was not genuine and was linked to internal disputes within the organisation. He submitted, “This stems from a dispute between ISKCON factions.”

He further explained that the disagreement was between the Bangalore faction of ISKCON and other units, and the matter was already pending before a three-judge bench following differences within a review bench.

However, the petitioners strongly denied any connection between this case and the internal factional conflict. Emphasising the nature of the allegations and the importance of children’s safety, Justice Nagarathna made it clear that the Court was focusing only on the welfare of the children.

She stated, “This case has something to do with children … that’s why we have asked you to go to the neutral body,” and again reiterated, “The issue concerns children. That’s why we directed you to a neutral body.” The Supreme Court made it clear that the appropriate course of action was for the petitioners to approach independent and neutral statutory bodies that are specifically meant to safeguard children’s rights. These commissions are now expected to examine the allegations in detail and take necessary steps as per law.

Case Title:
RAJNEESH KAPUR Vs UNION OF INDIA
W.P.(Crl.) No. 398/2025 Diary No. 51457 / 2025

=================

DG: Iskcon hired Kapil Sibbal as lawyer!!! He is well known to represent terrorists and politicians accused of serious corruption. To me, this speaks volumes.

DL Dasi: True and horrible.

SRD: Imagine a world where ISKCON had invested the exorbitant sums of money that they'll have to pay to this sketchy lawyer, in the protection and welfare of their children!

DG: Kapil Sibal, a prominent and high-profile senior advocate in the Supreme Court of India, reportedly charges between ₹7 lakh to ₹15 lakh (approximately $8,400 to $18,000 USD) per appearance. Other sources suggest a range of up to ₹20 lakh to ₹25 lakh per appearance depending on the complexity and profile of the case.

His fees place him among the most expensive lawyers in the country. In one instance, the government of Kerala reportedly paid him over ₹1.37 crore (approximately $164,000 USD) to appear in two cases.

MM Devi Dasi: If someone is facing sexual-abuse charges and is found guilty, can additional people from their past come forward with accusations that could lead to more charges?

MA Dasi: Oh no!

AC Dasi: Paying lawyers, sounds about right, lol!!

DD: I don't know the Indian legislative dynamics ..... could you help me understand the meaning of this news?

DG: Essentially petitioners filed a case in India's Supreme Court against iskcon for ignoring child abuse in the institution. The Supreme Court directed them to file their petitions with the national commission for child protection and local police. 

Iskcon was represented by this infamous lawyer who tried to argue that ritviks were somehow behind this petition, which the Supreme Court did not accept, saying the issues of child abuse in iskcon are well known. This is what I understand and my apologies if I got this incorrect.

DD: Thank you very much for your reply.

MM Dasi: I feel it! The judge's words! So, could this be like the moment when Lord Krishna and Arjuna blew the conch shell and it was tumultuous. 

RC: Finally something ... Let's see if there is follow through .

PD: Yeah the GBC hired the most famous corruption defender lawyers in India, who are allegedly $20,000 an hour. And the GBC sent in a squad of saffron clad swamis to try to show their saintly-ness. ISKCON previously hired Alan Dershowitz to defend Kirtanananda, and he also defends Epstein, Harvey Weinstein etc. They spent hundreds of thousands defending Kirtanananda, and now you know why the children have had no soap and shoes, the GBC program runs on the principle of buying Luis Vuitton for lawyers. Told ya! ys pd

HK: When urged to spend more on child protection, they shrug and say, "we ain't got no money, sorry". But when it comes to protecting their @sses, money immediately manifests like magic.

EL: High ranking ISKCON mafians always have a lot of money.

DG: Its shocking! If the GBC are innocent, why hire expensive lawyers to defend?! Anyways, the money is not hard-earned by GBC- its easily gotten from innocent devotees.

PM: Do you think that ISKCON paedophile networks are connected to other outside paedophile networks?

PD: Is it coincidence that Alan Dershowitz was hired to defend predators, and he was also hand picked to defend their guru Kirtanananda? There is a connection because they cooperatively know how to defend each other. Satsvarupa also has the "little boy lover" symbol found in the FEDS web site in his art. Is is a coincidence that Jane Wallace could see that Kirtanananda covered with the hands of many boys was "pe do heaven," but none of the GBC leaders could? ys pd

PM: Not a coincidence I suspect. Where did you get the screen shot of Satsvarup's art? I didn't know those disturbed people had a symbol for their dangerous fetish.

VD: These sick (SDG Painting) monstrosities are on a website??? My God, these come from a highly disturbed and twisted mind. 

BB: Yes and that is why the GBC people have a big SDG art show every year with his Vyasa Puja.

TB: It’s about time !

GP: We the regular members are the ones who paid the abusers bills this last 50 year's, it's time to stop paying, and get the abusers locked up. No more criminalising the institution. Criminalises the abusers directly.

SRD: Prosecuting the abusers is important. It is also equally important to hold accountable the institution that has enabled the abuse.

GP: The way I see it the situation is, you me and all other members are the institution, and if the perpetrators and their enablers are removed and jailed, at their own expense, not ours, that's a result.

Us paying every time and the abusers and their facilitates walking free is not a good deal, in my estimation. It seems we also get some bad karma for bailing them out with our misplaced compasion time and money.

BM: Has the court acted on the poison case?

SRD: The fact that so many devotees are feeling relieved at this news, ought to be a wake up call for the ISKCON leadership, perhaps it's time to change their consciousness.

GP: I am thinking by not throwing the abusers and their facilitates under the bus, as it were, we shot ourselves and our children and our community in the foot, as it were. On top of that we paid all the bills and fines and filled the bank accounts of the criminals. Sometimes I ask myself was I that stupid were we that naieve, looks like we were and still are to some extent.

RSD: The whole GBC needs to be disbanded and fresh faces of sincerity need to be appointed. Limited terms and elected by the rank and file. The GBC are like career politicians and the longer they stay in their position the more open they are to corruption. Every present GBC member is to be blamed for this dire situation. 

I think only one has spoken out against this disgusting practice of child sex abuse. Happy to be corrected if there is more. All the others need to go to jail for enabling such a culture along with the perpetrators. This whole sordid affair has gone on for too long and shows me how pathetic the institution has become. No hearts will be changed while this scourge continues.

YD: Pretend it didn’t happen! Hire big lawyers! Great policy!

VD: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta explained this situation so perfectly:

“The church that has the best chance of survival in this damned world is that of atheism under the convenient guise of theism. The churches have always proved the staunchest upholders of the grossest form of worldliness from which even the worst of non-ecclesiastical criminals are found to recoil.”

(Organized Religion)

MM: Wonderful news!

KD: When reports of child abuse within the Catholic Church surfaced in the media, they sent a sythe through its congregations, causing widespread disillusionment. While the recent developments surrounding ISKCON appear to be moving toward greater transparency and accountability, the context is markedly different (east vs west justice systems, ecclesiastical practice, organisational structure, etc). These distinctions suggest that this might not simply be a repeat or version 2.0 of the Catholic Church’s crisis.

SRD: How do you envision that this will unfold differently?

KD: Part of what sets this situation apart lies in the nature of the Indian legal system, which is often slow-moving and filled with procedural detours. These can allow institutions to cook things on a low flame and / or deflect accountability, often by placing the blame on lower-tier individuals. By the time any verdict is reached, many of those in senior leadership positions may no longer even be around to face whatever consequences may arise.

In contrast, the Catholic Church’s reckoning unfolded primarily under the US legal system, which (despite its flaws) is more structurally equipped to investigate, prosecute, and publicly scrutinize powerful institutions and people. 

That accountability was further fueled by deep historical tensions between Catholicism and Protestantism. Since Protestantism played a significant role in shaping Western secularism, there was already a cultural and ideological current that viewed the Catholic hierarchy as a relic of a bygone era, making it ripe for challenge and reform. 

So when the abuse scandals surfaced, the cultural arena was already constructed to absorb and amplify the news. With ISKCON, however, the situation is different. Reporting remains mired in legal and procedural language, and any broader public narrative has yet to properly crystallize.

In India, the religious and sociopolitical landscape is fundamentally different (arguably even the inverse) of what unfolded with the Catholic Church in the West. While there are echoes of the Protestant-Catholic divide in the tension between Hindu and Muslim identities, the dominant position of Hinduism in India today aligns more closely with the role Protestantism played in the US during the Catholic abuse scandals. In that context, Catholicism was the "other," making it more culturally vulnerable to critique and exposure.

By contrast, ISKCON, as a Hindu-rooted organization, exists within a framework where the cultural and institutional environment is not primed to challenge or scrutinize it with the same intensity. That doesn’t mean ISKCON gets a free pass, but it does mean the broader public discourse is far less equipped (or inclined) to amplify these allegations in a sustained, systemic way.

There may still be repercussions in the West, especially where media narratives follow different logics, but even there the situation is complicated. ISKCON’s demographic center of gravity has shifted significantly toward Indian diaspora communities, even in Western countries. If the story breaks more widely, it’s likely to be framed as a quirky epilogue “Whatever happened to the Hare Krishnas?” focusing more on the movement’s transformation from a countercultural Western phenomenon into a conventional Indian religious institution. 

Western ISKCON leaders will likely emphasize that any abuse cases in their ranks are historical and already addressed, distancing themselves from current events in India.

Also worth noting is the current momentum around the ISKCON case seems to be driven by ritviks or their affiliates. While they share a strong opposition to ISKCON’s current leadership, ritviks lack a unified doctrinal or cultural foundation (or even a traditional one, which is highly important in Indian discourse). 

They resemble a loosely connected opposition rather than a coherent reformist movement. This makes it harder for them to sustain long-term pressure.

At the same time, ISKCON is a highly decentralized organization. Its spiritual leaders often view the institutional structure as a practical necessity rather than a point of ideological commitment (unlike the centralized theological allegiance seen in Catholicism, both amongst its leaders and its congregation). 

Many of these gurus already run parallel initiatives or spiritual projects that function semi-independently of ISKCON’s formal apparatus. This decentralization creates a built-in buffer. If the institution comes under legal or public scrutiny, individual gurus can more easily step back, distancing themselves from the fallout without wholesale loss of their spiritual legitimacy or follower base.

Of course, predicting how this will unfold is speculative at best. My focus is less on long term forecasting and more on using historical foundations to shed light on current dynamics. Much depends on the evolving political and social landscape within India, and unexpected developments (both domestic and global) could jumble the game board entirely.

AP: If someone has a contact number for them we should all write to confirm that the allegations aren't just allegations but HARD FACTS. I pray that everything comes to light and the previous / current management is thrown out.

S Dasi: "The Supreme Court made it clear that the appropriate course of action was for the petitioners to approach independent and neutral statutory bodies that are specifically meant to safeguard children’s rights." I'm afraid this will get bogged down in Indian bureaucracy.

BB: Doing what they do best, spending money on lawyers to defend themselves, hoping the court will kick the can down the road ... and they will all be dead by the time an agreement is reached. Harassing. Creating confusion. Making excuses. Foot dragging at every step. They will be surprised when no one comes to defend them in the real court after death. 

RJ: Indian Government and Child Protection authorities are unlikely to take any action against ISKCON on these allegations. Abuse of children and women is widespread in India. GBC knows that ...

PADA: Yep, most expensive criminal defense lawyers, most expensive health care, and overall nice Saudi Prince life styles. No wonder they lawyered up, they have a lot to lose. As per usual -- this is all about the ritviks -- and has nothing to do with child abuse. 

Really? Sorry this argument just does not cut it anymore -- because most of the children victims have left ISKCON. They did not join "the ritviks." Or they joined other sanghas. Or they are blooped out and hate the religion, but in any case they are not ritviks or anything of the sort. And most of them have little to no connection to ISKCON and / or "the ritviks." 

It is a stalling technique. But getting anything done in India is like a bureaucratic nightmare and the GBC folks are all old aged and wiped out, so they probably just hope to run out the clock. Maybe the child welfare agencies will be forced to speed up due to court pressure, lets see. My understanding is that reports were already made to some agencies there -- and nothing was ever done. India is sort of cursed to be an imbroglio for victims, especially poor ones, and the GBC takes advantage. Lets hope it is different this time.

The Celebrity Sannyasis and the Women Who Serve Them

How Devotion Masks Power, Exploitation, and Illusion in Spiritual Communities
Many years ago, I saw every service opportunity — especially to a sannyasi — as a rare chance to receive 'special mercy'. Whenever one visited, disciples, especially women, rushed to serve him. That perception has changed; I now see them as just another human, perhaps wiser, but not a gateway to salvation. How did this happen?

Once, while cleaning a sannyasi’s rooms, I noticed shelves of luxury skincare products. He wasn’t lecturing that day — he was horse riding on the beach. I enjoy natural cosmetics and horse riding too, but I don’t fund them with disciples’ donations. I wondered: is he a renunciate or a celebrity? If adventure was his calling, he could have become a safari guide.

Only later did I see the real issue: his status made this lifestyle possible. When spiritual leaders hold unquestioned authority, followers are expected to validate their indulgences as spiritual. When I questioned him, I was told he was “in the mode of goodness.” This wasn’t about one man; it revealed a pattern.

A sannyasi is meant to renounce luxury and cultivate humility. Yet some use their position to demand comfort and, in the name of 'service', ask women to provide endless practical and emotional support. Wrapped in saffron, they remain above criticism. Across many hierarchical religions, spiritual authority allows men to convert devotion into free labour, disguising their self-serving motives.

This dynamic appears in ISKCON and in religious organisations like the FLDS, as shown in Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey. Leaders prey on women’s dedication and loyalty. What is promoted to women as “service opportunities” is often exploitation.

When misuse of power is framed as 'spiritual instruction', abuse becomes easier to rationalise. Even after Warren Jeffs’ conviction for sexually assaulting minors, many followers still saw him as saintly. Why? Because it is easier to believe a leader is pure than to admit we worshipped someone deeply flawed.

In ISKCON, the contradiction is sharp. Some sannyasis claim women are “less intelligent,” yet rely on them as cooks, secretaries, translators, and emotional supports. Women are essential for serving the guru — but excluded from leadership.

One sannyasi travelled with a young woman he insisted was his “irreplaceable” translator, even in countries where no translation was needed. She told me he personally instructed her to study English so she could serve him — a revealing detail.

The same sannyasi asked a nineteen-year-old woman to perform a baton-twirling dance to a techno version of “Jaya Jagannath” as an offering. If any ordinary older man asked a teenage girl to dance for him, we’d be outraged. When a guru does it, devotees applaud.

Other sannyasis live with women who act as cooks, assistants, and companions. What is the difference between this and having a wife? The sannyasi receives the benefits of a wife without the commitment, responsibility, or reciprocity of a husband. Why choose one woman when you can claim to “save souls” by accepting service from many?

I’ve spoken to several of these women. They feel handpicked for the guru’s mercy, a rare blessing that commands gratitude and unquestioning devotion. Sannyasis offer a range of reasons why they need a particular woman’s personal service. 

They haven’t been able to find a man who is as reliable, loyal, intelligent, skilled or available. Still, men are considered spiritually & intellectually superior.
If an ordinary man enjoyed such intimacy with a woman who wasn’t his wife, it would be condemned. When a guru does it, it’s framed as transcendental.

Why do we rationalise and justify a sannyasi’s questionable behaviour? Because we want them on a pedestal, above the human struggles we are too familiar with. Admitting they have darkness may make us question our own salvation. Yet denial does not bring growth. Facing our own and others’ shadows is part of maturing.
Of course, not all sannyasis behave this way. Some live modestly and avoid intimate service from women.

Other 'famous' sannyasis insist on travelling in business class and staying in luxury accommodation, claiming that it's “necessary.” Travelling long distances frequently can be taxing on one's health, so flying business class can be legitimate.

But do all their world tours serve the community or their own status and ambition? I recall being instructed to spend more money on one sannyasi's groceries for 5 days, then we were allowed to spend on food for all the ashrama residents for one month. Which makes me wonder, should communities always prioritise sanyasis' needs?

If sannyasis encouraged more senior devotees — including women — to become gurus without the celebrity aura, the community would benefit. Guidance would be accessible. Authority would be shared. And sannyasis would be relieved from the pressures of fame and constant travel.

This shift would highlight a basic truth: a guru doesn’t need to be a celebrity or a mythologised figure. We don’t need someone glamorous or unreachable, whose foot dust sends us into ecstasy. We need someone grounded, wise, compassionate, and sincere.

Spiritual growth comes from steady human guidance, not from worshipping charismatic personalities. Reducing the culture of celebrity would help spiritual communities return to their real purpose: genuine transformation, not personality cults.

For men aspiring to be sannyasis, a psychological screening for dark-trait qualities (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy) might not be entirely absurd. These traits often help individuals rise in rank, but once they reach leadership, the same tendencies can manifest as subtle exploitation, control and abuse.
In addition, a test to see if they can survive a week without women offering them any support of 'service', may filter out a few more men who are less suited as sannyasis.

Violence on Vaishnavas / Sva Diksha / Delhi Hell / Guru Prasad 11 24 25

MADHVACARYA LINEAGE SWAMI

PADA: Evidently violence on Vaishnavas is not a new process. The bad news is, this process has been happening for centuries -- or longer. The good news is -- there were a lot of people who wanted to see my life ended early, but somehow or other by the tricks of Maya's energy, Krishna held them back, and I survived. In other words there are always people out there trying to suppress or even kill Vaishnavas for different reasons. 

Of course this is something of a personal blessing and a curse simultaneously, I survived, but just long enough to see ISKCON burnt to ashes and the temples empty ghost towns. 

The worst part for me is, I had to live long enough to get the poison tapes and expose that violence against a great Vaishnava was done to the top Vaishnava in our own camp. I had to live to see that exposed. I believe that is the main reason Krishna kept me alive, He wanted this info to come out and He used ISKCON's barking dog for the job. 

Anyway someone sent me this and it is interesting history. But yeah, many people send me stuff and yet want to remain anonymous, ok they fear reprisals from the GBC regime. This ISKCON hi-jacking was a violent coup, using poison, and then using other types of psychological and physical terror to keep the troopers in line. It has worked well for them.

The Kambaluru family associated with Kambalu village in Kovelakuntla Taluk of Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh. Sri Kambaluru Ramachandra Thirtha (1575- 1632) belong to this family and took Sanyasa from Sri Rama Thirtha. He became the seventeenth Pontiff from Sriman Madhvacarya to ascend the Mahasamstana of Sosale Mutt of Sri Vyasaraja Thirtha Parampare from 1612. Sri Vijayeendra Theertha who noticed Ramachandra’s talents in his earlier days and took him as his disciple.

Sri Vijayeendra Thirtha was returning the favour incurred when he was taught by Sri Vyasaraja Thirtha, by giving a great ascetic back to the same Parampare. Sri Ramachandra Thirtha was well versed in Vedanta, Nyaya, Vyakarana and Smruthi.
After the Brindavana pravesha of Sri Vyasaraja Thirtha in the year 1539 AD, Madhusudana Saraswati made a spirited attempt in his Advaita Vadha to defend Advaita which had been subjected to a mortal blow by Sri Vyasaraja Thirtha his “Vyasa Traya” the three influential works namely Nyayamruta, Tarkatandava, and Tatparyachandrika, particularly Nyayamrutha. 

That was the time when Nyayamrutha had been subjected to severe critical analysis, both for and against Tattvavada, and it was quite appropriate that Sri Ramachandra Thirtha took up the major work Nyayasudha Vivruthi. The point to be noted here is that is Sri Ramachandra Thirtha has been responsible for furthering the great scholarly traditions of Sri Vyasaraja Matha and the work done by his team was complementary to the work done by other Mathas and not in conflict or repetitive. 

His style imitates the style of the great Vyasaraja, and uses a great deal of intricate explanations on grammatical rules in interpretation of crucial passages.
Once, Kambaluru Ramachandra Thirtha had gone to Tirumala for darshana of Sri Venkateshwara Swamy. 

Due to huge crowds as well as the visit of some privileged persons, he was unable to have his darshana even after waiting for a long time and had to return disappointed. He composed a sloka “Aishwarya madamatthosi idaaneem maam upekshyase, Vadeenaam kalahe praapthe ahameva gathisthava” and wrote it in a piece of paper and dropped it in front of the route being taken by the Utsava Murthy. The slokha meant “Oh, Srinivasa, You are now conceited due to your wealth and hence ignoring me. But when you become the object of discussion amongst disputants, only I have to defend you”. 

Surprisingly the Mahanth of Tirumala had a divine instruction to allow him for the darshana. Thus Kambaluru Ramachandra Tirtha could have darshana of Srinivasa. Such was his staunch faith in defending Hari Sarvottamattva.

Once during his travels, a few who opposed in debate and could not defeat him planned to eliminate him. They arranged people to kill him by dropping a huge stone on his head. It was a routine for the pontiff to sit under a particular tree and perform Manasa Pooja. Taking that opportunity the person who was hired carried a huge stone and waited on the branch of that tree. When Kambaluru Ramachandra Theertha started his pooja the person dropped the stone. 

The pontiff realised the attempt ordered the stone, “Antharaale Thista” (Stay, where you are). The stone did not fall instead it hung in the mid air. He asked the person on the branch as to why he wanted to take his life. After knowing the motive he ordered his disciples to carry the stone and place it on his Brundavana when time arrive. To this day we can see the stone kept on the top of his Brindavana.

Margashira Shuddha Triteeya is the day Kambaluru Ramachandra Tirtha left to merge with Sri Hari in the year 1632 and his Brundavana is in Vellore, Tamilnadu. That stone can be seen on his Brundavana even today.

SVA DIKSHA 

PADA: Yes prabhu, I have seen that Madhusudana Russia news is now saying that no one was ever needed to present the Krishna religion because "no intermediary was ever needed." OK so no one was ever needed to print and distribute the books, they will be printed and distributed by magic. 

I got a book from a devotee, but that was never needed, the book would have landing in my hands by no intermediary -- Madhusudana's magic. Yeah WTF is he even talking about? He is living in a fairy land, intermediaries are ALWAYS needed to do anything. He even says we should no longer have initiated poojaris and the deities will sva worship themselves. WTF?  

And no one needs to write questions to PADA, they should sva answer their own questions. But yeah, he is acting as an intermediary himself, by advising others. You do not need anyone's advice, except mine. He is another GBC guy, "I am the only way, truth and light and true link to Krisna, no one else needed." 

But yeah, the books will sva print and distribute themselves with no intermediaries making them is plain foolishness. I should not answer questions, they will sva answer themselves. Yes prabhu, that means he does not want to have me help the child victims, let them sva help themselves. This is cruel apart from not practical. There is no way anything gets done, including having my trash get picked up, without trash company intermediaries doing the work.

DELHI IN HELL

PADA: Wow pilgrims, my friend flew into Delhi and the air quality was very bad at 320, but it was only 30 at the place he took off from the USA. He said it was like walking around inside a gas chamber and everyone was choking and gasping for air. It is ironic that the people making the gas chamber are the same people living right there, they are self creating their own hell. 

Kali yuga has made life difficult -- is not a joke. All sorts of babies and children now have to grow up in that foul and dangerous air, it will make their lives very hard, sickly or ending early. I am told this bad Delhi air floats down to Vrndavana from time to time as well, making a toxic cloud there. Never mind the Yamuna is filled with tons of toxic stuff after going through Delhi. Yikes pilgrims! The material world is a contaminated place, fer sure! ys pd  

India's Air Crisis: Special Report On How Mumbai, Lucknow And Ahmedabad Are Now As Bad As Delhi | Watch

GURU PRASAD SWAMI

Guru Prasad's statement on defending the Danurdhara case is neither an isolated fact nor a simple mistake of judgement. This is a clear example of how high-control groups operate: closed structures where authority becomes unquestionable, loyalty supersedes truth, and protecting the system matters more than the well-being of its members.

In contexts like this, abuse never happens just because of the action of an aggressor. It happens because there is a net of coverup, forced obedience and ideological control that allows those wielding power to remain untouchable. 

Defending a leader accused of abuse, as in the case of Danurdhara, is a sample of the central mechanism: always protect the hierarch, never the victim.

The important thing is not Guru Prasad's private life or the ambiguous narratives that usually circulate to distract from the real problem. The essential thing is that his trajectory in the administration of Mexico and Central America fits with the typical pattern of a leader within a high-control group:

– minimizes complaints, including those related to sexual or child abuse;
- justifies aggressors or questions those who denounce;
- centralizes power, keeping the community dependent;
– operates with opacity, especially with regard to resources and property;
– and remains in office thanks to the hierarchical structure that rewards loyalty and punishes criticism.

The poorly transparent sale of estate and property in Mexico and Costa Rica, the disappearance of millionaire resources, the defense of leaders targeted for abuse and the total lack of accountability mechanisms are not minor administrative failures: they are symptoms of the control ecosystem in which we are is supported by ISKCON. In a healthy movement, these acts would be investigated, reported and sanctioned; in a high-control movement, normalized and silenced.

In these organizations, spiritual rhetoric serves as a tool of emotional control: it appeals to "devotional service", to "not offend the devotees", to "personal karma", to "advancing spiritually" as ways to blame, silence and isolate those who question. Spiritual manipulation is one of the most sophisticated methods of coercion: it turns obedience into virtue and criticism into sin.

Meanwhile, many devotees give away years of work, energy and faith believing they build a community, when actually they hold a structure that exploits them. The story in El Salvador, where a local ISKCON president ran away with the money, or the losses in Costa Rica, are not accidents: they are the consequences of a system that allows abuse because it has no real mechanisms to stop it.

That’s why it’s crucial to put the focus where it matters: institutional violence, structural impunity, and the sectarian functioning of the GBC, not on side stories or sensationalist. The conversation needs to focus on how abuse is perpetuated and why members like Guru Prasad continue in positions of power despite their history of negligence, cover-up and decisions that hurt the community.

Naming this is not to offend or attack anyone's faith. Recognizing that authentic spirituality cannot coexist with dynamics of coercive control, abuse of power, and corruption. Practicing devotion does not mean accepting injustice or normalizing silence. On the contrary: a truly spiritual community demands truth, transparency, and protection for its most vulnerable members.

When we understand that Krishna is carefully watching over every moment of our life and guiding everything according to His perfect will, fear and worry begin to fade. pic.twitter.com/IN5NqJtRnc

Clarifying Henry Doktorski and PADA 11 24 25

 

Sorry, I am sticking with Them.

PADA: I have decided to make a clarification on my position on Henry Doktorski. Yes. He has done a lot of valuable work in recording the who, what, where and when in the post 1977 New Vrndavana history. And he nails the fact that Radhanath was involved in Sulochana's murder with facts and eye witness testimony. Very valuable.

At the same time, we all know Henry holds a big grudge against Srila Prabhupada, and maybe Krishna, for Krishna's giving us Srila Prabhupada, and hence our getting Krishna's words in Krishna's shastra. For example, he challenges me if I accept Srila Prahbupada's statements -- yes or no? Well the main statements of importance are, Krishna is God and we must treat all of His particles with love and respect. And we should never worship conditioned souls as gurus, which will cause chaos etc. Yes, I accept that.

But Henry will never stand in front of a Church holding a Bible, and challenging them if they accept odd ball statements from the Bible -- yes or no, because he has made a livelihood working for and with them, and hanging out at their Church. So Henry cherry picks which shastra he wants to attack and which to remain silent and acquiescing on. 

Mind you the Christian's mis-use of shastra has caused much more damage to the world than the misuse of the Vedas. Henry also does not seem to understand, there are good Christians, who would not harm others, and there are bad Christians who bomb baby hospitals, but that does not mean Jesus intended any of the bad. Nor would I blame Jesus for the bad, but there are lots of people who do curse at Jesus. And the Bible is full of things that might justify cruel behavior, but a good Christian will not employ that. Neither would I. 

Henry gleefully cites that Satya Vani shastra, ok the very same people who are angry that Krishna's words are being leaked out, and saving many hundreds or thousands of people -- like me -- from being disconnected from Krishna. And Srila Prabhupada's words are the words which connect me and others to Krishna. 

Read: these people are angry and upset someone like me is no longer eating cows, smoking cigarettes, and is now NOT going to rot in hell for millions of years and then taking birth as a cow to be slaughtered and eaten. That is where I'd be now without Krishna's teachings. 

In sum! They are envious of people being saved from hell and future suffering. OK they are envious people, and they direct or de facto wanted me to suffer, die and die over and over -- and be made into hamburgers -- because they resent that we have got Krishna in our lives from Srila Prabhupada. Ok what kind of people want me and others to go to hell and suffer? We know, it is the Satya Vanis and their promoters. 

Srila Prabhupada said they are envious of us, and they clearly are. Anyone who is upset people are being connected to Krishna is also not only envious of us, and Srila Prabhupada, but is also envious of Krishna because the words of Krishna are being distributed, and they hate that -- self evident -- because? 

They hate Krishna? 

Seems to be the case, as many folks told us. Why is Henry citing the people who self evidently hate someone who is distributing Krishna's words -- which are saving us fallen souls? And Henry says he does not know they are doing that, when they have plastered article after article after article attacking us, Srila Prabhupada, and Krishna's words being distributed by same? 

OK Henry is promoting the identical people who are attacking us, Srila Prabhupada, and who attacked Prabhupada's Prabhupada in the 1930s, because Srila Prabhupada is giving us Krishna. Which means yah -- Henry is also attacking Krishna because he is upset Krishna arranged our getting Him from Srila Prabhupada. 

They wanted us to stay rotting here in the material world -- and rot here forever, and they have been doing that since the 1930s -- when they were upset Srila Saraswati was liberating folks with Krishna's words. Anyone who gives Krishna to others -- needs to be attacked. OK this is called demoniac mentality, which makes sense even to an ordinary man. Blocking or discouraging the words of God is going to cause people to suffer and go to hell.  

Henry and Satya Vani try to paint Srila Prabhupada / the Vedas / Lord Krishna as purveyors of the idea that exploiting others is acceptable, or even desired. And thus women, children, elders and others can be exploited and mistreated because that is what the Krishna religion teaches. That is clearly not the impression me and probably hundreds of thousands of others have had from Srila Prabhupada's teachings. 

I never for an instant thought I had a license to mistreat anyone, never mind vulnerable women, children, seniors and etc. from the teachings of Krishna. Rather even today I carefully move black widow spiders around when I come across them in my garden, because my impression of the teachings of Krishna is -- that I cannot mistreat any other living thing. 

These other living beings are ALL parts of Krishna. And for me to harm them is forbidden and not allowed, never mind black widow spiders, but how much more care we need to take with actual devotees of Krishna. 

I never thought for an instant that Srila Prabhupada authorizes me, or anyone else, to harm any living being, especially Krishna's devotees, and especially the vulnerables like women and children. But Henry and his group seem to think that mistreating others is taught by Krishna or His religion. It isn't. I never thought for an instant that that is the teachings of Krishna. 

What happened then? Well when CBS news Jane Wallace went to New Vrndavana and filmed Kirtanananda covered with the hands of many boys, she then came here to San Francisco to meet me. She asked me -- is this Kirtanananda program pedophile's heaven? When I said "yes it is," she gasped in relief. She said thank God we met you, all the other Krishnas (OK the Henry and cohorts sabha) think this is some divine activity. 

Henry was in that divine activity illusion group, to my EXTREME PERIL. And to give him some rationalizing excuse, OK yes many of our God brothers ALSO were at New Vrndavana going along with all that. So he was misinformed about what the religion really stands for. Pedophile heaven is not authorized in the Vedas, it was authorized by Henry's program. 

So Henry got the idea that all this was taught by Srila Prabhupada. Nope. Never was. That was not what he said. What he actually said is, worship of conditioned souls is a path to the lower realms. Exploiting other beings drags a person to hell etc. 

Kirtanananda was a gay guy who did not like women, but that does not mean he represents Krishna. Nor did Srila Prabhupada ever tell me he does represent Krishna. Rather, Srila Prabhupada said he is a crazy man who belongs in Bellevue. And it was known to us that he challenged Srila Prabhupada a number of times, and he was a former Mott Street boy etc. I thought in 1972 that he is envious of Srila Prabhupada, he is challenging, and he is therefore never to be advertised as Krishna's pure devotee successor. Never believed that for a second.

And Kirtanananda was envious and so were other leaders. And so was Judas at the time of Jesus. To think a Mott Street boy could become God's successor is 100% smoke and mirrors illusion, plain and simple. And Henry and others drank that kool aid, and now he holds a grudge against others for his being fooled, when he is the person who made these choices. We said all along, this is THEIR (Henry's) wrong choice. 

It means Kirtanananda represents himself. Unfortunately many people thought Kirtanananda was Krishna's representative, but he wasn't. Ever. So now Henry is on a campaign to discredit Srila Prabhupada, and prove that the Krishna religion promotes exploiting and mistreating, and Mott Street fools for gurus. Of course Henry would never speak a peep about the Christians, who created most of the actual exploiting in this world. He has unlimited tolerance for other religion's exploiting.

But to say that the Krishna religion wanted or licensed exploiting is simply, misrepresenting the teachings. Illicit sex leads a person to hell, that is the actual teachings and we all know that. But then Henry finds these Satya Vani people, who say the teaching of the Krishna religion is that we have a license to exploit females, and he says they are presenting the truthful history of all this. No the history is, they despised us and misrepresented Krishna's actual teachings as a licence to exploit.    

So in other words Henry and many others got cheated by the GBC gurus into thinking the Krishna religion teaches exploiting is valid, and then he blames the religion for the subsequent exploiting. No, the religion teaches that we cannot step on an ant, that is very sinful, never mind we cannot step on others. 

In any case I simply can not believe Henry did not know about the Satya Vanis. They openly hate us, hate Srila Prabhupada, and they hate Krishna -- because people are now becoming Krishna devotees thanks to Krishna sending us Srila Prabhupada. And all that is plain as day by reading their materials for 15 seconds. 

Henry thus knows they hate us, hate Srila Prabhupada and hate us having Krishna, because that is what they are all about, and everyone else who looks at their stuff knows the same thing. And we knew that from our time in India, we are the low class Western, mlecchas, hippies and all that. OK but we are all parts of Krishna too, or aren't we?

And others all tell me the same thing. They despise us, despise Srila Prabhupada, and despise Krishna for sending Srila Prabhupada to us, thus over riding their caste and birth claim to have a monopoly on Krishna, as their personal money making business.

Henry was really gloating that he found these Satya Vani people who hate us, and then he says he will ask them about it and get back to me. There is nothing to ask? They despise us, and if someone is promoting them, they are joining the despising us team. Or they despised us all along and just finally the real colors came out with it?   

PADA TO HENRY:

Thanks prabhu. I have already made a detailed account of my gripes with their group on the blog. As I pointed out already, these people were against Srila Saraswati -- and Srila Prabhupada said these "saints by birth" lines, such as the Satya Vanis, were trying to kill his guru. They believe in taking birth in a family of the descendents of Lord Chaitanya makes them saints, hence they hold a grudge against Srila Saraswati in the 1930s for bringing in "lower caste" people, and later they objected to us dirty mleccha Western people taking to the religion when we were in India in 1971. 

They need to keep their "saints by birth" program going so they can exploit people as a "saints by birth" business, and therefore our competition needs to be checked. We are giving out Krishna wholesale and that is intolerable for the people trying to exploit and monopolize His message. OK they are envious of us and Krishna and they are using Krishna, as Srila Prabhupada says, as a family business. Of course there are many other "saints by birth" programs in India, and they always opposed our teachings even in the late 1800s, we are breaking their monopoly on Krishna and so the object to us.  

OK they are racists as well as haters of us people who are getting Krishna. They have a business from their caste and birth program and we are a threat to their livelihood. Prabhupada told us they are dangerous, so avoid them, and they are dangerous, just look at how they hate us on their posts. Are you not looking at their posts? They HATE OUR GUTS.

I already explained that. In short, they are dangerous racists because people who object to their caste or birth monopoly can become targets, and Srila Saraswati was a target. And Srila Prabhupada may have been a target, because there is a rumor they encouraged the poisoning. I would not doubt that for one second, they hate us. And the way they spread hate of us Prabhupada followers makes us targets. And that is their intent, they want to suppress us, because they have to contain Krishna only in their little business arrangement. They are sort of the Pharisees of our religion.

OK! They hate our guts, and would be happy to have us eliminated. I think you did not get the message, they hate our guts. Hate means, we can be treated with violence, and it is shocking you do not know that by now. In addition, Jagadananda and no doubt the others there knew about the 1980 - 2025 molesting, and they are attacking us and not the regime. Sorry, there is no good excuse for covering this up, you can ask them all day long, but we know the answer already.

They are helping the regime by attacking us. And if you are on their side by promoting them, that would make you an accomplice. But you never complain about bad Bible statements, and they never complain about the regime level molesting, because you both have a vested interest in not doing so. You only attack soft targets. And that enables the ongoing child abuse.   

My friends and me discussed this at length. And they summed it up pretty good. Henry supported the New Vrndavana people who were your worst haters and they were trying to kill you. Now he is supporting another group of your haters. And if they could kill you, they would. And they evidently wanted to kill our guru and his guru in their previous iteration. Prabhupada told us, these caste and birth saints tried to kill his guru so we must beware of them. Then Henry promotes them?  

Our friends said, either he never learned anything, or he knows they are racist haters and he is running with them, or he was at one time repenting but now he is going back to supporting your haters, he is going backwards. 

I think our friends have it really figured out. They say, these envious people have always been out to eliminate you by supporting your haters, and they still are. Nothing has changed with these people. That is their observation, and I could not disagree. You seem to keep forgetting what I repeated over and over and over THEY HATE ME, and they SUPPORT MOLESTERS and DEVIANT samadhis with their silence. They are evil people, and therefore, supporting them implicates anyone who does so. I hope this helps. ys pd 

Dear Henry prabhu, It looks like we have gone full circle here. Previously you supported GBC people who hated my guts and wanted to kill me. Then you started to promote the Satya Vani people, who ALSO hate Srila Prabhupada, and equally hate me, and said we are dirty contaminated mlecchas, to make us targets. Lets be real here, these Satya Vanis hate my guts just as bad as the GBC people, or worse, and if they had the potential to take me out, they would. They hate my guts. 

It seems you tend to find people who hate my guts? The LA police said to me -- these GBC people HATE YOUR GUTS and they will KILL you. The Satya Vanis equally also hate my guts, you evidently do not see that, or what results from that, but you didn't previously either. They are a racist hate mongering group that protects pedophiles, and they are against me for self evident reasons. 

It is not evident to you, and that is the whole problem. You are my friend, ok, but you also tend to run in circles of people who hate my guts and would kill us. Srila Saraswati said these caste lineage people WILL KILL ME, and they will also KILL us little peanuts equally. You are attracted to them, second time around. 

This is full circle, we ended where we began. You don't know about them? What they say is self evident -- THEY HATE OUR GUTS, and they have since the past maybe 130 years. You are not attracted to them because they are interesting, you are attracted to them because THEY HATE OUR GUTS. And Srila Saraswati said they would kill us, that means also me. You can see how they write about us, it is not a secret what they are all about. You are not aware of this because, you sympathize more with them than me. That is simply the way this looks. In any case, for you to promote my haters is not the way to make friends with me, and no one should be surprised if I react negatively. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

November 23, 1967: On this date in history 58 years ago, Bhaktivedanta Swami writes to Umapati, “We shall silently pray for them [Kirtanananda and Hayagriva] to Krishna and shed tears for them for our inability to save them.” To learn more about this topic, see "Gold, Guns and God,” Vol. 1, p. 261.

But I should not pick on Henry too much. He is a victim of the overall system. I have all sorts of other haters like BV Damodar who was blasting me for pointing out that Narayan Maharaja was Tamal's bucket boy. 

Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur / Mathura Pati are infuritated I am not helping them promote Saint Radhanath's cheer leaders etc. Lots of haters out there! HKC Jaipur's Prahlad actually said he was going to get the GBC goons to come and take me out, because these pedophile messiah's people also endorse murder of dissenters. They simply cannot tolerate having children liberated from Auschwitz for kids, and someone just now told me -- no wonder they love Hitler.  

In any case, I decided to go with Krishna, and let the haters figure out whatever they want to, and that is all there is to it. I feel very confident that Krishna is God, and I am doing the right thing trying to be His servant, although I have to admit to being a highly imperfect one presently. 

But I have faith He will pull me up to Him sooner or later. And I think the people who hate to see His words being spread around, actually hate Him, and will thus suffer a short, sharp shock in a lower planet. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that is mine.

BVKS Video / Sva Diksha / Vasanta Gita / Good Idea! 11 23 25

 

PADA: OK all of a sudden the BVKS people are realizing Hrdayananda is not giving the real version of the Krishna religion. Bhakti Vikas swami did not know that the whole time? What rock has he been hiding under? Hrdayananda was a huge supporter of Kirtanananda, Bhavananda, and the whole false guru crew. 

He was giving me snarky evil eye looks when we were having his program sued for $400,000,000 while we were on Watseka. The founder fathers of the illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's club, that bans, beats, molests, sues and kills people has only one problem. They are "not following shastra." Ya think so! 

Sorry, thousands of people were banned, some were beaten, perhaps thousands of kids were molested, ISKCON was sued into bankruptcy, some people were killed, but that is not the real issue! Anyway it looks like the finger pointing is getting more severe with them now attacking each other as the real problem, when all of them combined made this mess. 

The good news is, BVKS finally realized Hrdayananda is bogus, the bad news is, it is too little too late to save their thousands of victims, the bankrupting of ISKCON, and emptying out ISKCON and making it into a ghost town. Mind you Lokanath swami said ISKCON is an empty ghost town in 1988, that means they all knew this was happening the whole time, it has only got more empty subsequently. Taking down Hrdayananda is a start, but you'd have a lot more weeds to pull before the place gets purified.

Asociación Vaisnavas de España

We protect children, not predators! A call to responsibility at ISKCON.

Over the years, serious concerns have been raised about Bhakti Vikā Aa Swami (BVKS), who has given respect and honour to devotees with proven histories of child abuse, while the safety of Vaisnavas children has come to the forefront.
One example is Kripa Kara das (KKD), Australian disciple of Srila Prabhupada. In the 1990s he was convicted in court for sexually abusing two children and served a prison sentence.

de The ISKCON Child Protection Office (CPO) imposed a lifetime restriction on him, prohibiting him from performing any service related to children. You can read the case document here:

CPO Archive: https://drive.google.com/.../1OXeRZJFXpQQ9PcgZLt4.../view...
Despite this, in January 2025, KKD travelled with children from Salem Gurukula to Jagannath Puri (25 hours), clearly breaking these restrictions. Surprisingly, BVKS presented him as an “honorable and trustworthy guest” at Salem’s ISKCON temple. 🎥 Evidence in video

This is not an isolated case — in the past, BVKS also defended Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami, and Kesava Bharati, other confirmed abusers.

SVA DIKSHA UPDATE

Hare Krisna Prabhu 

(This is just my opinion)

I have also heard or read about sva diksa, but as far as I remember, it can only be used in extreme cases. Perhaps they said at one time that Purujit Das or someone else initiated himself in this way because he couldn't find a credible person who could properly initiate him.

If I remember correctly, in this case, there is the so-called Eka diksa initiation.
But actually, it doesn't matter if the person or soul surrenders at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and follows his instructions or teachings, it's the same thing.

As it is written, we cannot check or assess the degree of surrender or spiritual advancement of another person or soul because we cannot see it. Srila Prabhupada says it is like eating. Only the person who is eating knows whether he is satisfied. We do not know how satisfied he is. The same is true in spiritual life.

We cannot know whether another person is properly initiated in a particular case.
Only Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna know this.

This is Madhusudana Prabhu's share

(This is my question Why does he say that you invented the ritvik initiation system?!)

Sva-diksa haunts PADA.

Puranjana once again demonstrates either an inability or an unwillingness to understand a simple matter. He deliberately confuses an eternal principle with a specific modern system in order to present any criticism of the latter as an attack on the former. 

This is dishonest.

PADA: OK well Madhusudana started talking about Krishna Kant and the ritviks idea from 20 years ago, but worship of the pure devotee did not start 20 years ago? It started trillions of years ago and the ritviks promote the trillions of years idea that has been in effect for trillions of years, worship the pure devotee. 

And there were brahmana priests (ritviks) also trillions of years ago. To say that trillions of years is a modern idea is simply false. Krishna Himself associated with Sudama, a brahamana (ritvik), and this was not 20 years ago. 

He seems to confuse 20 years and trillions of years over and over? There is a difference.

1. About "trillions of years" and "worship of the pure devotee." No one disputes that worship of the pure devotee is an eternal principle. I object to how he and his system embody it.

PADA: Well the idea of Srila Prabhupada is that there has to be an organized body or group of devotees all preaching the same thing, some form of international organization. In the sva-diksha idea there is no leadership or group, which means independent mavericks with no structure. That won't work. 

There has to be some form of administration to manage even a small temple mandir program. There is a head or leader, there are people who help, that is always the case even if we wanted to manage a shoe store at the mall.  

Eternal principle: Worship Srila Prabhupada, follow his teachings, accept him as a spiritual master.

PADA: So when Srila Prabhupada says form a GBC and organization, we do not accept? 

But there needs to be people promoting and teaching his idea. This is amazing, the books will sva print themselves and sva jump into people's hands by magic. Nope, we need people to make that happen. Madhusudana never explains how the books will manifest and be distributed by their sva-self? Who will do the worship if there is no way to get them to the platform of worship? 

His system: Mandatory ritual, performed by "official representatives" (ritviks), who build a hierarchy and control around it.

PADA: I never said any diksha ritual is mandatory, this is false. Krishna consciousness is voluntary and nothing can be made mandatory, nor did I ever say ritvik diksha is mandatory. 

Of course Madhusudana wants a society where nothing is mandatory, so he will have a Buddhist, Satanist, Muslim, and Krishna devotee in his temple because worship of Srila Prabhupada will not be mandatory. That sounds like a zoo?

There is ZERO evidence we ever said there is a mandatory ritvik ritual at any time anywhere. We never even ask people who is their diksha guru, or even if the have one, when they write questions to PADA. We do not care about the formal ritual process, thus we never ask if they had a formal ritual or not. 

Nor did we ever ask Madhusudana who is his formal diksha guru, or was he initiated or not. To say we made this mandatory is -- a lie. We said that acceptance of Srila Prabhupada as the guru is required in the Krishna religion, in that sense mandatory, but we never said that would mean mandatory formal initiation -- and he never quotes me saying that at any time. 

I never, ever said any formal ritvik ritual is mandatory, and he is making this up wholesale. I did say that some people should get initiated for deity worship, that is another topic.

By criticizing GBC 2.0, I am not criticizing the principle of worshiping Prabhupada. I criticize your attempt to replace principle with a system that becomes an end in itself.

PADA: Worshiping Srila Prabhupada is GBC 2.0? No, that is the process for eternal time. Worshiping oneself as sva diksha is not even mentioned? A person cannot sva-absorb their own sins. That is false. 

They need to have a connection to a pure devotee and not their sva self. There is no such thing as a person absorbing their owns sins via sva-diksha, that is not the process. Nor is sva-diksha mentioned anywhere. Nor would it work, sva absorbing one's own sins is a myth. We need to be connected to a pure devotee, either formal or informal. And the ritviks are making this happen for people.  

2. About "sva-diksa" and a "recent invention."

He shouts that "sva-diksa" is a recent invention. 

PADA: Yep, Srila Prabhupada never mentions where sva diksha is authorized. Where is this stated by Srila Prabhupada? It does not exist, Madhusudana invented it.

And the system of "official ritvik representatives" prescribed in the "The Final Order"—is that an eternal principle from Krsna? No, it's an administrative schedule created for the specific circumstances of 1977. He made a new eternal religion out of it.

PADA: Srila Prabhupada wanted ritvik initiations to continue for the deity pooja, and he said that, we will need initiated brahmanas for the pooja. Madhusudana does not even want to follow the order to have trained and initiated poojaris for the deities. So after 1977, we will have no brahmanas for the pooja? Where did Srila Prabhupada say there will be no more initiated poojaris?  

Sorry, deities require trained and initiated people, that is the order of the acharya. Worshiping the deity with trained brahmanas is also not new, such programs have gone of for millions and trillions of years. Worshiping Krishna with brahmanas is a new arrangement? No, there are temples where brahmanas worship the deity that are thousands of years old, this is not new whatever. NOT having proper brahmanas is what is new.

"Sva-diksa" is simply a term describing the original and direct act of accepting Prabhupada as guru. 

PADA: That is not what the term means, sva means oneself, and diksha means initiation, sva-diksha is self diksha and not diksha from a pure devotee. Even CHAT GPT agrees. A person cannot absorb their own sins, that is false. 

This is not "mayavada," but the essence of the process, which he is trying to envelop with bureaucratic procedures.

PADA: So we should not have training for poojaris because that is bureaucratic? There has to be some standardized process for uniform deity worship in many places. 

3. About "hard work" and "sva-printing" of books.

He's like a broken record. I've said it a hundred times: books are printed by devotees, not by the "ritvik system." The fact that some of these "devotees" are ritviks doesn't mean their system is the only one capable of this. Once again, he's misrepresenting the particular as the general.

PADA: But you have no "bureaucratic system" or any system for book printing, book distribution, or making temples, making devotees, or making anything else that the ritviks are doing. Nor do we see any evidence your program are doing these things. 

And yes, fighting pedophilia and book falsification is noble. But that doesn't give him a monopoly on the truth or make his ritvik ideology holy. 

PADA: But if there is no organized process, then there is no organized means of fighting large scale court cases and etc. Madhusudana could not take a used car salesman to court, never mind the entire ISKCON. Yeah, the ritvik ideology is that we need to organize to take on big issues. A person who cannot sue a used car salesman should not advise others on the topic of child abuse court cases. 

One can simultaneously support him in exposing the GBC's crimes and criticize his dogmatic system. 

PADA: But court cases can cost millions of dollars, and so can book printing, making temples etc. How are the sva-diksha maverick individuals going to raise any organized funds?  

His attempts to connect the two are pure blackmail.

Bottom line: He still hasn't answered the main question: why should a living, direct connection with Prabhupada through his teachings be mediated by his system of "official representatives"? 

PADA: Why should Srila Prabhupada be presented as the acharya by us as his representatives? Well because no one else will do that? We have to do that, the ordinary people will not sva get a book and sva learn the process without people giving that book and process to the people. 

We cannot promote anything without our own acting as a representive of that process. We are going to have a religion, with no one representing the religion? It won't work. 

We cannot even sell one shoe at our shoe store with no one representing the store? We are going to have a store with no one to represent the store? The shoes will sva sell themselves? This sound like a person who is smoking too much PCP? The shoes will sva sell themselves, no need to anyone to run the store? 

Until he answers this, all his talk about "trillions of years" is simply a smokescreen to conceal the construction of a new spiritual bureaucracy. I've ended this pointless circle. My path is to delve deeper into Prabhupada's teachings and help those who seek a direct connection with him, without intermediaries who demand “official” status.

PADA: OK so he does not want us or himself to be an intermediary for Srila Prabhupada, none is needed. Srila Prabhupada will make devotees without any helpers, so what is he doing preaching on FB acting as a representative himself? 

And what devotees are going to print the books, when the only people printing them now are the ritviks. Who are these non-existing book printing devotees? OK they do not exist. It is all phantasm.

Yes Srila Prabhupada said a hundred times HIS devotees will print HIS books, but Madhusudana has no devotees or printing going on? We do. He has made himself the head director of his own movement, so he is the self appointed bureau chief head of his sva-diksha process. He has made himself the bureau chief of his own movement. 

He says no leaders are needed, and then he leads his own self made sva-diksha movement. And we went after the child mistreatment, but when we mention that he says this is blackmail. No, we fixed the issue at least to some extent, he did not. 

He is black mailing the victims by claiming our help is not needed, the victims should sva save themselves. Sorry, telling children victims to sva save themselves is = what the GBC plan has been. It does not help victims, sorry, we have to act. And we did, he didn't. 

In any case, no one has ever been able to make a religion work that has no need for leaders, no one to print and give out books and train people etc. People are always needed for that, and a bureaucracy is required to organize these things, as has been ordered by the acharya.

VASANTA'S GITA PRINTING PROJECT  

Hare Krishna.

Dear Puranjana Prabhu,

You have posted a link to a YouTube video by Vasanta. For over 30 years much of my practice has been in the area of the law of tax-exempt organizations. That Gofundme page shows the organizer as an individual, not a tax-exempt organization.

I fear that many devotees would be giving donations thinking that the funds are, in fact, going, at least indirectly, to a bonafide 501(c)(3) organization. On the website of the purported organization is a statement:

---Start of Excerpts---
TAX DEDUCTABLE [sic]
508(c)1(a)

Lotus Ministry is a humanitarian faith-based charity. We are defined by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization under revenue code 508(c)1(a). Our EIN is 92-1986116. Donations are tax-deductible.
----End of Excerpts----

https://www.lotus-ministry.org (at the bottom)

If, in fact, donations were tax-deductible, we would find that with a search on the IRS website through https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ with that EIN - 921986116. However, this morning, I put in that EIN and the result was, "Your search did not return any results." A screenshot showing that is at https://i.vgy.me/2EMeUi.png

I fear that Vasanta may not, in fact, use the funds for charitable purposes, but, instead, for his own living expenses and may even announce soon that he was not able to reach the $25,000 goal and, therefore, he is keeping the appeal for funds up (with no assurances where the existing amount is). 

I believe that you would want to remove the link on your page to his YouTube video and even also publish a retraction (unless Vasanta provides to you a copy of a determination letter from the IRS that his trust is treated as a 501(c)(3) organization.)

There are some exceptions -- organizations are not required to have such a determination letter if they are:

---Start of Excerpts---

(A) churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches, or

(B) any organization which is not a private foundation (as defined in section 509(a)) and the gross receipts of which in each taxable year are normally not more than $5,000.

----End of Excerpts----

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/508


Vasanta's website does refer to that subsection (A), but all evidence is that his trust is not a church, integrated auxiliary of a church, or a convention or association of a church. For IRS purposes, the definition of "church" is much more limited compared to the dictionary definition of the term. For IRS exemption purposes, the organization must have a public place of worship with a congregation of persons who are not related. For an extensive discussion of the issue of churches see the IRS discussions, citing court cases, starting around page 11 of https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicb03.pdf


In addition, that EIN is not shown after a search of the California Charities Registry, through https://rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/Search.aspx?facility=Y


Charitable trust registrations are done with Form CT‑1 which is available at https://tinyurl.com/y4hwfwdv and it has on the top right of page 2, "Registration with the Attorney General is required within thirty days of receipt of assets."

PADA: These are all good points and many questions arise here. Yeah I don't know if Vasanta has any legally authorized charity program, and thus he and his handlers should give us a full explanation of what they are doing. In the meantime I am removing his video until we get his status resolved. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I think his heart is in the right place, but his legal status might not be. ys pd

GOOD IDEA!

Das Goravani

Current events and issues in society, personal problems, etc., do not matter compared to developing Krishna Consciousness. Issues etc., are temporary and fleeting, and bog the soul down in mundane consciousness which leads to rebirth in the material world, again, whereas Krishna Consciousness leads to returning to our Spiritual Home which is eternal and free from suffering. One is clearly more important than the other. Krishna Consciousness has no impediments, nothing can stop it, it is simply a switch you flip inside your consciousness, turning on the desire to serve Krishna which can be as simple as chanting his names or simply remembering him. 

No matter what your situation, you can engage in Krishna Consciousness. Doing so is the perfection of life. In other words, you can make your life perfect from any position, any station in life. It is not dependent on any particular material circumstances. The witch Maya, Illusion, wants us to care about mundane affairs of self, or state, etc., and be distracted from Krishna's service and remembrance. 

But don't give in. Don't do it. Don't be in illusion. Your life is very temporary here and it is passing. Time is to be used to remember Krishna and perfect your love for Him. Don't waste time. It is precious in this regard. Taking birth here again is no joke, this world is fully of suffering with very little pleasure. This world is designed to push you towards God, towards Krishna. That is the purpose of suffering, to dissuade us from material attachment and to goad us towards Krishna. 

The little pleasure we get from material life does not deserve all the worship we give it. All opulences flow forth from Krishna. There is so much more opulence and enjoyment in Spiritual Life actually, here and in the Spiritual World. Make it the aim of your every moment. All your moments will pass soon. Make them all full of Krishna, God. Go back home to the spiritual world after this life. So don't get caught up in Trump and all the issues. Sure, you have to perform a role in this material world, which can include a stand on the issues, but keep it a light thing.. don't let it all overwhelm you. Don't let it distract you from what is really important, which is learning to love Krishna fully. Hare Krishna.

EPSTEIN UPATE

President Trump said he will no longer support Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “wacky” and a “traitor” to the GOP, making a dramatic break with a longtime loyalist who has increasingly criticized the president and her party’s leadership in recent weeks. The president said he’s withdrawing his endorsement of Greene and will support a primary challenge against her “if the right person runs” in her deep-red northern Georgia district.

Greene, on Saturday, said in a post on X that she never thought that “fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are.” The congresswoman also said later Saturday that she has been receiving threats since Trump began openly criticizing her.

PADA: Oh no pilgims, the wheels are coming off more and more.
