Dear Bangalore Correspondent (ISKCON) ys pd 07/29/11

Dear "Bangalore Correspondent"

Why if you (feel you) are writing honestly, and have conviction in what you're writing, would you not be using your name? The least you could do for readers is to explain why you are holding back in this way if you feel the information you are giving is "really factual."

There is also this to consider: "Bangalore Correspondent," you keep attacking Madhupandit prabhu with various accusations - stealing money from Krsna, doing this and that illegally - yet surely you must know about the illegalities going on within mainstream ISKCON, as well as those (so many) folks in "mainstream" ISKCON who are stealing CRORES money from Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, keeping it for themselves, thus diverting such money from being used in service to Srila Prabhupada and Krsna, and are using it instead for their OWN SENSE GRATIFICATION. This includes SOME ISKCON GBC gurus/sannyasis using such money for going to PROSTITUTES (which the GBC knows), besides the other sense-gratificatory things such diverted money gets used for, non-Krsna consciously.

As Krsna Himself said, BG 3.21 yad yad acarati sresthas... (although Krsna was speaking about truly great men, but as we are in Kali Yuga, and the majority of people don't have a sense of what means "great man"), we see others within mainstream ISKCON, from "in-between," to "the low man on the totem pole," following in the footsteps of the "big" people; stealing money from KRSNA via the ISKCON channels - with some "brahmacaris" using it on prostitutes, as well as other forms of sense gratification. So what started at the top, has gone towards the bottom, with (so-called) brahmacaris, using/diverting Krsna's laksmi for their own sense gratification. I'm speaking about mainstream ISKCON.

You have SO MANY examples (of liars, cheaters and thieves and their activities) within mainstream ISKCON, so if you are that genuinely concerned about Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, why not use your energies to write about, and address and/or expose the garbage going on there to help clean out the dirt from there, to get these people to use that laksmi FOR KRSNA, in HIS service, where such laksmi BELONGS!!! to help enable Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON to be the effective society Srila Prabhupada wanted for spreading Krsna consciousness.

Please do not think I'm writing this "to support Madhupandit prabhu because I'm 'a ritvik'." I'm NOT "a ritvik." I simply have a question about the validity regarding what you write and why if what you're writing is "factual," you won't "stand by it," by writing your submission using your name.

My dear "Bangalore Correspondent," there is a verse in Srimad Bhagavatam, spoken by Bali Maharaj (8.20.4), in which He makes His own statement, then quotes Mother Bhumi: "There is nothing more sinful than untruthfulness. Because of this, mother earth once said, 'I can bear any heavy thing except a person who is a liar'."

Please consider all of the above carefully...

Your servant,

B. Radha-Govinda
Hare Krsna
