[PADA: First of all, we offer heartfelt thanks to Alberto prabhu for bringing us to the point of making further investigations into various statements being made by the leadership of the Sridhara Maharaja group. We have decided that in the event the Sridhara Maharaja folks want to conduct a full scale public debate with us, we shall write an expose of their cult to local Christian churches, Christian charities, Christian colleges and religious groups around each and every Sridhara Maharaja center in North and South America asking them to help us investigate their charities. We already have the full list of their addresses in hand. Sridhara Maharaja's basic idea in 1936 was to say that a deviant with homosexual tendencies is a pure "guru" who could absorb sins (aka a diksha guru) -- yes, exactly who Jesus is and exactly what Jesus is doing. (See where Sridhara Maharaja tells the 11 GBC gurus they will take karma / absorb sins in our previous article).
And in 1978 Sridhara Maharaja repeated that same mistake of juxtaposing the position of a pure person like Jesus with deviants, and he was telling the GBC 11 they too were gurus who could absorb sins, ok like Jesus is a guru who absorbs sins. These 11 had big thrones, big worship, feet washing like they were Jesus, big titles as pure devotees like Jesus, diksha gurus etc. as the 11 were being promoted as gurus by Sridhara Maharaja (as we have documented in other places).
And now we notice (see below) while some Sridhara folks have been promoting various deviants as Jesus like gurus, others from their important leadership clique are attacking the position of the actual Lord Jesus. This is just wrong to minimize the actual Jesus, while simultaneously promoting fools as a type of Jesus. And we do not think people in either Philo, North Carolina or anywhere else would accept this type of assault on Jesus. We'd like to get a clarification from the Sridhara Maharaja group leaders about why these comments such as we find herein are being allowed on their web sites and so on. Please let us know why these attacks on Jesus are allowed? ys pd]

Our Guardians: Swami B.R. Sridhara
(Sridhara Maharaja leader) Narasingha Maharaja: This may be a radical idea, but it is also a historical fact. Christianity developed from a Jewish heresy and was mostly fabricated by Paul. Judaism had received its scriptures and religion [monotheism] from the Persians [Zoroastrians] and Zoroaster had been rejected from Vedic civilization for concocting a heretical philosophy [this is mentioned in the Rg-Veda].
Starting with Zoroaster one mental concoction simply gave birth to another mental concoction and the end of such mental concoctions is nowhere in sight – especially as concerns Christianity. They go on concocting ideas such as salvation through Jesus, purgatory, virgin births, Heaven, Jesus is God, inventing scripture, etc — none of which are anything less than a mental concoction.
The history of Christianity reads something like this: Jesus was a Jew, Christians were Jewish heretics, after killing off all Gnostic Christians and other sects of Christianity, the Orthodox church reigned supreme, Roman Catholicism crushed the Orthodox Church and killed any remnants of ancient Christianity and persecuted the Jews, Protestant Churches were the bastards of Catholicism, the Mormons are a Christian cult among the Protestants and Jesus is coming soon! [...]
Narasingha Maharaja: Bhaktivinoda is speaking in such a way as to encourage the followers of sectarian doctrines such as Christianity and Islam to give up their limited concepts and recognize real dharma [Vaisnavism]. Bhaktivinoda is not condemning the followers of Vaisnava dharma as sectarian for recognizing that Vaisnava dharma is the eternal function of the soul. Don't forget that Bhaktivinoda's opinion is [as stated in Tattva-viveka] that no intelligent person will accept the ideas of salvation thru the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus as Christianity suggests.
[PADA: You mean an intelligent person will worship the illicit sex messiahs promoted by Sridhara Maharaja instead, and this will give them salvation?]

ReplyDeleteSridhara Maharaja's camp, GM, is finally outing themselves that Lord Jesus is a humbug fiction.
ReplyDeleteISKCON's SAC is basically doing the same.
Their "problem", Lord Jesus is worshiped by ritviks, pope, cardinals, bishops, priests. Christians might not be pure Brahmins, still, they believe that no successor of Lord Jesus is required, after 2000 years Christ is still their guru.
Consequently, present Vaishnava institutions, troubled with a fallen guru epidemic, have a problem with it.
Present voted-in ISKCON/GM gurus are out-of-favor, Westerners dont like them.
Second, they cannot give a satisfactory answer why Prabhupada cannot initiate anymore.
At the same time, Gaudiya-Vaishnavism, Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan movement is supposed to uplift Western civilization - 2000 years of Christian background - to a higher realization of God consciousness.
Going global with a policy that doesnt convince Westerners makes no sense. Already there is a huge run of Western devotees to leave the West for good and to domiciliate in India.
Western governments stating, Hare Krishnas should go where their religion originated, West Bengal.
De facto Europe's, America's, Australia's temples are habituated by Indians. No intelligent Westerners take interest anymore.
Root cause surely is, fallen people posing as gurus.
Prabhupada stated repeatedly that Gaudiya-Vaishnava acaryas consider Lord Jesus and the way he is worshiped by ritviks as bona fide.
Now it seems as stated above, Gaudiya-matha is directly challenging 2000 years Christianity as humbug fiction - Jesus is a cult fiction.
ISKCONites keep silent, sweep it under the rug, but in actuality, having kicked out the ritviks, are doing the same.
Instead of following Prabhupada who wanted to uplift Christianity by introducing chanting of the Holy Name, regs of purity, present Vaishnava institutions declare, Christianity is a humbug cult fiction.
Since Western civilization is based upon Christian values they surely will finally tell them, listen folks, it's time to pack your bags and relocate to India.
You have made an article that will spark debate while promoting critical thinking as well.
