Bhakti Vikas Swami Re-Writes ISKCON History pt.1 (Video)

Bhakti Vikas swami discusses the history of ISKCON. 

Srila Prabhupada appointed 11 gurus. What Maharaja? 

There is no evidence of this appointment? 

There is no instruction for the ISKCON Governing Body to "manage" these 11 acharyas either? 

Why would an acharya need to take instruction from a Governing Body in the first place? 

Most of these "appointed gurus" fell down. Agreed, that means they are not, were not, could not have been gurus. Why does BVKS create the impression that acharyas are often falling, indeed most of them are falling on a regular basis?

The ritviks said Srila Prabhupada would have made a huge mistake if he had appointed conditioned souls as gurus. Why is that not correct Maharaja? And if they were not appointed as gurus, what were they appointed as?

"The acharya board" was a bad idea, it dismantled the GBC authority. OK, again how can a GBC manage the Vishnupada acharya? And if the acharya board is a deviation, how can gurus produce deviations? And which previous acharyas were "managed" by a Governing Board?

The Gaudiya Matha was picking people off. OK and who brought the Gaudiya Matha into ISKCON?

The 11 gurus stopped book distribution and started selling Hong Kong paintings. OK what kind of gurus would do that? Why does BVKS think "Krishna's gurus" would orchestrate such deviations?

The GBC were selling records made by Harikesh in Rock and Roll genre, and this was instituted all over, but even karmis thought this was rubbish music that could not be sold ordinarily. Why were the devotees engaged in distributing it? Gurus produced all this deviation? Where was the GBC? OK there was none, there was the acharya board.

The BBT book scores were being used to indicate sales of trinkets, and not actual books. Agreed. 

Money then corrupted the society, agreed. 

The leaders were living opulently, agreed. Bhagavan became the sun king -- living in opulence. OK agreed, but why was this allowed?

In sum: The GBC are wishy washy!

And that is why we dissenters have been banned, beaten, sued, and assassinated? And Janananda kicked out a woman and her husband said "that killed her because she missed the deity." She is now dead, from a wishy washy policy? Or from a giant jack boots policy? This is not wishy washy? This is a very vociferous, mean spirited, imperious, odious and oppressive regime. 

Anyway, some good points, some not so good points, but he is still creating the illusion that the 11 were supposed to be worshiped as diksha gurus. Nope. 

Anyway, we knew it was a question of time and they would try to re-write the whole history to blame Srila Prabhupada for making a mistake of appointing conditioned souls as gurus, that handily takes the blame off themselves. Sorry, BVKS and his foolish friends appointed these guys as gurus, we protested, and we were then thwarted by the BVKS sector. And we still are.
