ISKCON is not a supermarket (Bhakti Vikas Swami VIDEO)

PADA: This is interesting, people in Russia are wondering why so many books are being distributed, but there are hardly any temple dwellers in the West. The temples are empty. No kidding!

Why aren't devotees being made? 

And BVKS answer in part is, that ISKCON is advertising too many off shoot deviations such as Yoga classes and so on. Ooops, Bhakti Vikas forgets to mention -- that it is his "living" ISKCON GURUS -- who are the very same folks introducing all these deviations. They are gurus, therefore, they are deviants? Does that make a lot of sense? BVKS has promoted that "the ritviks" are bogus because they are not worshiping these deviants as their gurus. Who else should they worship?

Yep! It is the BVKS bogus GBC guru sabha that is the source of ALL these deviations, and BVKS correctly points out that none of this is following Srila Prabhupada. So his GBC folks are gurus, but they are not following. The GBC's has voted in a pile of gurus, indeed they also voted in BVKS in as guru, but they are deviants. How can deviants vote in gurus, including BVKS? 

BVKS keeps avoiding the real point, that it is his "guru sabha" who are the people introducing all these deviations. BVKS also says people need to surrender to Krishna, forgetting that this is not possible without first accepting the proper guru. Srila Prabhupada never said we can just surrender to Krishna, he said we need to accept the proper guru in disciplic succession. BVKS never points this out? We just need to surrender to Krishna, that itself is a deviant idea, because it steps over the parampara. 

Instead BVKS makes more and more confusing points, for example he has often insisted "the ritviks" are deviants because they worship Srila Prabhupada, and the GBC are the actual gurus, but then he says -- these gurus are deviants. Again! How can gurus be deviants? In fact BVKS says that more and more it appears that his ISKCON leaders and gurus are being considered as agents of Kali Yuga. Agents of Kali Yuga are gurus? How is that going to work practically? Then again, that is the real reason the temples are empty, who wants to worship agents of Kali as their guru? And why would BVKS promote a system where people have to worship the agents of Kali as their "live gurus"?

Did we mention, BVKS complains -- the leaders did not make VARNASRAMA. OK, what leaders? I forgot, its the BVKS guru program that did not make varnasrama. BVKS makes it sound like some anonymous unknown program failed, but its his guru program that failed.

BVKS keeps saying we need to surrender to the Brahma Madhva Gaudiya sampradaya, the same sampradaya he is voted into. And this sampradaya self-admitted contains illicit sex with men, women and children. How is that the bona fide sampradaya? He never explains. Worse, BVKS says that the guru is always a transparent via media to God, but he never explains how his illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara is a transparent media to God? So many contradictions here?

Wait! Illicit sex with men, women and children guru paramparas are "the transparent via media to God"? Then they wonder aloud ... why their temples are empty? Then BVKS says -- some of our great ISKCON preachers have videos with over 1,000,000 hits, but there is NOTHING about Krishna on these videos, indeed they are not even mentioning Krishna. OK so the followers of the BVKS guru parampara are not being trained properly by -- the gurus in his guru parampara. Or worse, the followers are being trained to promote mundane programs. How is this a transparent media to Krishna?

Then BVKS brings in the example of the great success of Jesus. Ooops, but worship of Jesus is the bogus ritvik idea. So BVKS says we cannot be worshiping someone like Srila Prabhupada or Jesus, the posthumous persons, we need to worship his living guru people, but then he says -- his living guru people are deviants. So we cannot worship someone like Jesus or Srila Prabhupada, we have to worship the living GBC gurus, but they are deviants. Making sense yet? Oh yes, worship of Jesus is the path to success. No wonder his gurus need percodans!

Then BVKS mentions the gurukula system, ooops, you mean the system that his GBC guru program produced -- of beating and molesting kids -- that had to be sued for mass molesting. This is a gurukula system? How is that a gurukula system? He never explains why his program produced this mess and called it a gurukula?

Anyway, we could go on here, but its obvious BVKS is not really answering the questions people are giving him. He always misses the point, intentionally. Anyway, his program is producing empty temples, that was known in 1988 when Lokanath swami said these temples are empty "ghost towns." And we know why that is happening, people do not want to worship the BVKS illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara, and now he says, agents of Kali guru parampara to boot. Its pretty simple, his guru system is being rejected and that is the real cause of his empty temples syndrome. Meanwhile the Prabhupadanuga temples here are full of people. Imagine that. ys pd
