PADA writes to Indradyumna Swami

LETTER FROM THE "BATTLEFIELD"

Just received from HH Indradyumna Swami.

Dear Patita Pavana prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We are quite busy out here on the preaching field; finishing up a tour of over 20 universities in the US with our festival group of 54 devotees from 12 different countries. We've had many favorable reviews. And we’ve made tons of contacts and to my great satisfaction have sold hundreds and hundreds of Srila Prabhupada's books.

We’ve had mayors, senators, heads of universities and many other influential persons attending our shows. The mayor of New Albany told me our performance is as good as any New York Broadway show. He smiled when I said, “It’s even better because it has a message. “

It seems so strange in the midst of it all to have devotees trying to bring me down. Here we are on the battlefield sacrificing everything day in and day out and the folks back home are busy finding fault with us. I believe they are sincere in their desire to see the highest standard in ISKCON’s leaders. But let them join us out here on the preaching field and we can speak man to man, face to face. And then join together to fight the forces of maya, rather than amongst ourselves.

Yesterday I did a yearly scan for cancer. As a cancer survivor, I have to do it annually. It came back clear.

With affectionate regards,
Indradyumna Swami

[PADA: Dear Indradyumna swami. We have no objection to the principle of preaching. Fine. We are just asking, "what are you folks preaching"? And unfortunately, we all know what you folks are preaching since 1978: that Krishna's "guru parampara / acharya's / successors lineage" is chock full of illicit sex with men, women, children, and maybe goats; and lets not forget also your acharya lineage's intoxication problems, enabling molesters, crimes and etc. 

We do not think this is what Krishna preaches, that's all. 

Now I recently got a letter from an India brahmachari, and he complained the temple commander there is a homosexual predator and he molests young men in the temple's youth program, and this deviant tried to molest him. When he complained to the GBC he was banned from the temple. That is the sum total result of your preaching that acharyas are sexual predator deviants, then that process is upheld and protected and -- institutionalized, and spreads in webs and nests throughout.  

And now your folks are helping bury sexual predators and porno swamis in the holy dham, where they will be worshiped as equals to the other acharyas who are in samadhis there. Don't you see that this is an offense to the dham?

So you are preaching, and that is a good idea. Except, Srila Prabhupada wants to know, what are you preaching? As for Patita Pavana, if its the same one from the Bay Area here, he came to the temple to pray for Kirtanananda to get better after he got hit in the head with a rebar pipe. He supports the GBC's guru lineage of illicit sexual predators as acharyas. 

And his friends told me he has to do that because many of his astrology customers are GBC people and so he has to keep friends with the GBC to keep his business going. I don't know for sure, but there seems to be a problem with his ideas as well, starting with, Srila Prabhupada told us astrology is a waste of time and money. 

And you seem to have forgot that Srila Prabhupada said we neophytes cannot be diksha gurus because we cannot absorb sins? And so on and so forth? So if you wanted to dialogue with us, that would be a good start, but that never happens? And that is how your whole illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara was enabled, empowered and facilitated, you guys kept going and never consulted with any of us. 

Now a devotee in a foreign land wants me to help him and his lawyer sue ISKCON for fraud, because saying that God's successors are illicit sex with men, women and children sexual predators is not what Krishna is teaching? Are they right? As for preaching, we are preaching, and we thus get constant regular inquiries from inside and outside ISKCON from devotees all over the world. Just because we are not preaching "side by side" with your debauchee messiah's program does not mean we are not preaching?
