[PADA: Yep, according to various reports, Prithu was another guy eating like a horse, buying expensive personal items for himself etc. when the gurukuli children were being fed rotten oatmeal. Various ex-kulis told me these leaders have been acting like Kim Jong Un of North Korea's empire, they are eating nicely, the peons have to eat grass and moldy un-eatables.]
THEY THINK THAT I AM DEAD.
Prithu Prabhu told an amazing story last year at Janmashtami in Moscow. He said that he was at that moment in Vrindavan when Srila Prabhupada was leaving this world. And he saw the whole ceremony. All of them are young disciples of Srila Prabhupada, young, with a great deal of horror and secretly looked at everything that was happening then. Srila Prabhupada left the body, and no one knew what would happen next.
And Prthu Prabhu says that when Srila Prabhupad was placed in samadhi, then in that place, exactly in the place where his head was, and he was put in the lotus position, they put a long bamboo pole so that it was clear where to put it, then further samadhi and erect. And then they piled it on top with earth, made a mound. And in the end, the pole was removed, and he saw that this hole led deep into it. The hole, however, quickly fell asleep dry Vrindavan land.
He says that that night after this ceremony, it made a very strong impression on everyone, and that night after the ceremony he had a very vivid dream. He saw Srila Prabhupada's samadhi, the land where his body lies. And he began to approach slowly towards him, and to his surprise he saw that the hole had become large, such. And he began to approach timidly to look there. So? Because, well, I wonder what's going on inside there. He began to look in there, because through this opening one can see Srila Prabhupada there below.
And suddenly he felt that someone was nearby. And he looked around and saw that Srila Prabhupada was standing nearby and was also looking there. That Srila Prabhupada crept on tiptoes and also looks where he is looking there. And Srila Prabhupada is alive, more alive than when he is alive, shining in his spiritual body. Srila Prabhupada looked at him seriously and said, "They think I'm dead."
A person thinks that a spiritual teacher may die. But only a bad student who has not learned anything from his spiritual teacher thinks so. Prthu Prabhu said that the explanation for all the troubles in ISKCON and all the problems in ISKCON in one phrase: “They think I'm dead.” When a person thinks this way, he stops learning. (...)

[PADA: Yes, when we were in Los Angeles -- handing out our documents saying "Srila Prabhupada is the living guru of ISKCON," Prithu violently grabbed a copy from our associate, trying to stop us from distributing these documents. Prithu looked at the photo of Srila Prabhupada on the cover and he yelled, "What the hell is this sh*t doing here"? (I am an eye witness)
And he ripped up our magazine into pieces, with the photo of Srila Prabhupada on the cover, and he stomped on the pieces with his shoes. Now, after he publicly declares that Srila Prabhupada is no more than a piece of sh*t to him, and he rips up an image of Srila Prabhupada and stomps on it with shoes, he suddenly says that the problem is -- minimizing Srila Prabhupada? And he has been among the number one people doing that minimizing?
And he even says our idea that Srila Prabhupada is living is -- the piece of sh*t idea? Why is this type person allowed to go around speaking in ISKCON centers? Oh, I forgot, they mostly all want our documents ripped up. Its like Jayadvaita swami asking, why in the hell are people chanting Srila Prabhupada's pranams. Birds of the same feather -- flop together, as Sulochan often said. Yep, this is the type of person the GBC wants to have going around lecturing. Told ya! OK true, it is good news however that they are back tracking, albeit slow and piece meal. ys pd]

Yes agreed. Prithu jumped onto the GBC's guru train so he could get a material facility for himself -- and join the gang of opulent guru princes. He simply wanted material position, wealth, power, aka pratishtha, and he had help them toss the worship of Prabhupada under the bus in order to get that post from the GBC. I have heard various reports of his terrible mis-treatment of devotees and causing mayhem in his zone. Yes, and now that he and his pals have burnt the society to toast, he all of a sudden says, oh we did not think Prabhupada was still alive. OK that is what we said in 1978, your living gurus program is declaring the acharya dead. So now he is trying to make it look like he was on our side all along, which is simply more cheating. I will never forget however, that he said that our idea that Srila Prabhupada is still alive is a piece of "sh*t" and he ripped up a photo of Prabhupada and stomped on it, because he was one of the prime people making Prabhupada dead. Now he is making pretend he never did that, which means you are correct, these people are shameless, they tend to never admit they did the wrong thing, and yet they are the ones personally responsible for the burning down of Srila Prabhupada's house, they poured the gasoline, they lit the matches, now -- they are the fire department who is putting out, their own fire? Yes, they are the worst examples of human beings, I agree. ys pd
ReplyDeleteThe siphoning of funds meant to care for the ISKCON children being stolen off by these leaders for their jet set lifestyles was always a big problem after 1977. A number of parents told me how badly they felt betrayed because they were told to go out an collect money, and these type leaders re-assured the parents -- their money collecting was going to care for their kids. Evidently not, rather many leaders started living like Saudi Princes / Kim Jong Un and the children reported having rotten food, not enough blankets, in some cases not even soap, and some of them said we were in a WW II concentration camp. So these leaders were simply siphoning funds meant to care for the citizens off for themselves, at least that is the complaint we have got from more than a few. Yes Prithu now realizes that the program he has supported destroyed the ISKCON society wholesale -- in fact bankrupted it, alienated the senior / elder devotees and / or the youth wholesale, ruined the name of the society in the media, and so on and so forth. Now he is saying all this is because they neglected to worship Prabhupada, but he is a prime person who said our idea of worship of Prabhupada is like manure, and needs to be ripped up and stomped on. Yes, this is hypocrisy of the worst order. And this is why Jesus says -- oh ye hypocrites, sons of vipers. ys pd
