Iskcon authorities has banned us, Caitanya Candra Prabhu and me Krishna Avatara Dasa from distributing Prabhupada's original books in the Mayapur Grihasta area. Unintelligible that Prabhupada's vani is banned access to Prabhupada's own temples and areas within Iskcon !
In the photo you can see two Prabhupada disciples to my left, who bought books from us, before Prabhupada's original books were banned and unwanted on Iskcon territory. Right now, Iskcon is running a lawsuit to stop printing all of Prabhupada's original books. So in the future it is not legal to print Prabhupada's original books anymore!
[PADA: Yep, ISKCON advertises a "spiritual city" in Mayapura, where we can worship their illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara. They don't need Srila Prabhupada's books already, because their debauchee's guru program is not found in his books. Thus they have to ban his worship, his devotees, and his books, so they can get people to worship their debauchees as acharyas process -- and the bogus books written by their speculators and mayavadas whom they rubber stamp as gurus. The only good news is, more people are catching on to this deviant process. ys pd]
Hare Krishna.
ReplyDeleteWe received complaints from some devotees that the sellers were denigrating the BBT editions in ways which they found offensive.. We discussed in our Grihastha Para MCS group and determined that selling of non=BBT editions of Srila Prabhupada’s books on ISKCON property is in contravention of ISKCON Policy. On the 26th Dec. I sent an email to an address I thought belonged to the devotees involved, but it appears they did not get it and so came and set up. We had a cordial conversation and it was agreed that after last Sunday they would not setup for sale any more at the community market.
There is no ban on devotees purchasing and owning books from wherever they like, but only BBT editions of Srila Prabhupada’s books are to be sold on ISKCON property.
I hope this clarifies the policy.
Your servant, Pancharatna dasa
Yes, devotees who want original books are being banned in many places. At the same time, even my karmi friends cannot understand why a person like Jayadvaita, who says God's successors (gurus) are falling into illicit sex with men, women and possibly children as well, would be editing spiritual materials. How many people believe that God's gurus / successors are often fallen debauchees?
ReplyDeleteAnd why is this the person the GBC selects to re-write the books of the acharyas? The good news is, more and more people are getting totally disgusted with the preaching that God's successors aka gurus are fallen into illicit sex, drinking vodka, watching porn and so forth. Its simply unacceptable in human society. I really cannot even print some of the not so family friendly comments I get for my blog in a family forum, more people are getting totally upset with this lot. The fact that the GBC would select the main proponent of their "illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara" as their "writer in chief" pretty much sums up the whole mess. ys pd
TTD: I'm starting to notice a resulting pattern to all this banning nonsense. It seems that the "banned" have a MUCH more powerful voice from outside the movement. The "banned" now have a more powerful influence in preserving and revealing truths that would have otherwise gotten lost in the obscurity the institution creates.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to see Krishna's direct hand in this whole mess! Ban more people, good, then they will start to come over to our side.
[PADA: Well yup, ex-ISKCON victims are our best customers. ys pd]
