REMINDER: THE AGE OF HYPOCRISY
Behind the mask of civility, what's really behind all of this? You know, so much has been said, so much information has been twisted, so much confusion manufactured, and what remains? Facts, lots of them. No, today I'm not going to talk about the concerns many credible devotees have regarding the attempted poisoning of Srila Prabhupada, which are based on damming evidence and serious questions which have not been satisfactorily answered.
How can anyone expect any real answers anyway, whom are we asking? That's the first question. So no, I'm not going to talk about recorded tapes, witness accounts, lack of investigation, missing tapes, doctored tapes, destruction of documents, or even Srila Prabhupada's own words. Why bring this up (again), right?
But we can talk a little about what we do know for certain. Some historical facts as experienced by many credible devotees. What's happened to ISKCON? And who are the individuals who jointly caused so much damage to the society and the children over the years? Who are these people?
Well, one thing I can say, or let's say, shall we name just a few? Just look around. Have you noticed how so many Tamal Krishna Goswami's defenders and their close associates are pretty much all one and the same? With all due respect, Ambarish Prabhu, in due consideration for all the MILLIONS of dollars you have spent (or are spending) on the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium; do you think anyone still cares to remember that your close friend Bhavananda, who you hired so diligently and who still walks around like he is some kind of authority, was one of the main responsible for so many atrocities in the Gurukulas in India under his direct leadership? Not everyone has such dull memory you know.
Speaking of memory, let's take a quick look at the others, shall we? Eleven is a good number to start. Obviously the ocean of rascaldom is amazingly greater than the common citizen's wildest imagination, but we can take some samples. Let's see some sample results.
After causing all sorts of disruption among sincere devotees world wide, unspeakeable crimes, the reaction comes. Jayathirta, was decapitated. Bhagavan, lost in gold and lost forever. Tamal Krishna, horrifying death. Jayapataka, debiliated by stroke and disfigured. Hridayananda, too complex and cynic to get into (it would make great mundane poetry). Bhavananda, disgraced, although the impossible was attempted to bring him back to grace by the others. Ramesvara, ran away, then recently comes back hugging all the same others who he already loved from day one. Ramesvara in one word, a hypocrite, and now posing as some kind of defender of the original books.
Oh yes, Jayadvaita, the changer of Srila Prabhupada's original books, which is the worse in my personal opinion. Kirtanananda, oh Lord, where is his crown? Was it buried with him also? Of couse, let's not forget about the other elevated dignitaries who just recently went to his "samadhi" to pay their obeisances to the murderer Kirtanananda. Harikesh, gone insane.
Altogether, who are these people? Who knows what unites them, but what we know is that they are indeed friends, who will pat each other's backs at the first opportunity, even if after years and years without even seeing each other. If they can, when it's publicly viable, they will always cooperate with each other, as it has been ALWAYS the case. Heck, if there was this kind of unity among the greater devotee community, we would be in a different situation for sure. This is really quite an excercise of memory of history. It's painful to think about yet impossible to forget.
Of course, none of them are alone or were ever. Their host of disciples, spies, affiliates, huge bank accounts and world network of connections, are everywhere. What about today? Today we have on top of that another sixty+ Gurus, most of them pretty much nicely cooperating with each other and supporting an incompetent and power crazy GBC.
So I beg to ask anyone. Is there any credibility left out there? I myself grew up in ISKCON, have seen and heard so much, and in all my years in it, I was always very careful how I addressed and talked about any of these rascals, but to this day my memory does not fail me so easily.
No matter how many years go by, the history of these individuals remains and it's not over yet. How can anyone make 'thousands' of devotees, when so many of the already existing ones who were living in the devotee communities have been forcibly kicked out and neglected? Their glorious works of hypocrisy only exist in order to sustain their positions and blind the unsuspecting innocent.
And speaking of neglect, where is Al Ford with his millions of dollars, or thousands, or even a few hundred dollars, to help repair the temples in the USA established by Srila Prabhupada himself, so many of which are physically falling apart, starting with the Detroit mansion that he himself donated? I was in Detroit in 2008, and it's a disaster which I should spare you the description.
Altogether, this is Kali-yuga. The age of HYPOCRISY.
There, I said it.
Sincerely,
Krishna Kirtan

It doesn't seem to be the past that has inspired this letter but what is going on in the present. Although what has gone on in the past is connected as the present is with what will occur in the future in Iskcon it appears right to warn all at first, at this point in time and developments, that the GBC and Iskcon have deviated to become a very dam or dyke that is set on holding back the flood of bhakti into this world by sectarianizing and centrally corporatizing it. With $ eyes for luxury travel and lifestyles and accalaids for an elitist set, by not following one single instruction of Srila Prabhupada's from the very top of the echelons of $power in Iskcon. And mostly by their premeditated policy of demonizing all pure devotees, to maintain power over innocents who serve them daily. And this includes the GBC's demonization of Srila Goura Govinda Maharaja, when he was actually present as the historical facts surrounding his disappearance prove.
