BP Puri Maharaja: Homosexuality is all temporary. These are just the modes of material nature. They rushed on him (Bhavananda) lightly.
[PADA: Bhakti Pramode Puri (BPP) is sometimes confused with BV Puri, who was also sympathetic to the GBC guru process and he called Radhanath "a saint." BP Puri was also encouraging various GBC folks to be gurus and he was glorified by folks like Jayapataka and others. He seems to be clueless that neophytes cannot absorb sins as acharyas.]
Bhakti Vijnana: I was recently told one amazing story. It happened a few years after the departure of Srila Prabhupada, when in ISKCON people, especially those who were at the very top, began to make some kind of retreat. And once a delegation of devotees who lived in Mayapur went to complain to Bhakti Pramod Puri Maharaja. Puri Maharaj was already very old, he was over ninety years old, he was a respected Vaisnava ... And this delegation from ISKCON began to complain about one of the main managers. Maharaj heard his name and he said:
BPP: Is this that one? Great soul (Bhavananda).
The devotees could not believe their ears:
- Maharaja, he is homosexual! .. Homosexuality means ...
BPP: I lived a long life, I know what homosexuality is. He is a pure devotee. This is all temporary. It all goes away. These are just the modes of material nature. They rushed on him lightly. It will all go away. But what he did. You look what he did - it will remain with him. Krsna will never forget him. And so the taste that he has will always remain with him.
[PADA: Umm, so all the banning, beating, molesting, police raids, bad publicity, suicides of molesting victims, lawsuits, and murders etc. are all being orchestrated by pure devotees of God? Who knew!]
BPP: This year I met a man whom they then complained about. He had a difficult fate. But he still believes Srila Prabhupada, still worships him. He comes to the temple, near which he lives. And despite the fact that he was once one of the most famous leaders, he comes and cleans the toilets in the temple.
And not so long ago, he gave a lecture. He said: “I did a lot of stupid things, a lot of mistakes, I had a lot of falls down. I have one single virtue: I never blamed anyone for my failures. I did not try to blame ISKCON for my own weaknesses. And this advantage saved me "Because if I start saying: ISKCON is bad, devotees are bad, blaming someone is an insult. Rupa Gosvami in the Nectar of Devotion says that insulting changes taste. Fall down does not change the taste."
And when I heard these words, I marveled at his strength. I immediately remembered the words of Puri Maharaja... His strength was that he never tried to blame ISKCON for his own problems. The meaning of the insult is that we, by our own stupidity, by our weakness, begin to search for the cause of our fall outside ourselves. To say: "I'm not weak, it just happened, they forced me, they set me up." Then it will be an insult, then it will be bad.

[PADA: OK so the GBC goes to the Gaudiya Matha to find people to prop up their false guru process, because the Gaudiya Matha also has had a false guru process. Its amazing how all the banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits, suicides and murders are simply problems that are "rushing by lightly."
Well, hee hee, these crimes may not be judged that "lightly" in the court of Yamaraja. Just saying! These Gaudiya Matha people were also big associates of Tripurari swami, Paramadvaiti swami, Atulananda, Jagat Guru swami (Narasimha swami) ilk etc. Yep, homosexuals posing as acharyas, but they are pure people that Krishna will reward -- after all the banning, beating, molesting, suicides, lawsuits and -- murders? Really pilgrims?
And then some associate of the Gaura Govinda maharaja process writes just now to tell PADA "these people are more advanced than you ever will be." OK, so anyone who does not endorse homosexual acharya's programs is "not too advanced"? Told ya! That means people were trying to contain the homosexual acharya process and they went to complain, but were suppressed by BP Puri.
Not sure how this happens, these folks are trying to enable the homosexual guru regime, and then some knuckle head fool from the Western hamburger society, ok Mr. PADA, has to remind these "big scholars and saints" that they are wrong to enable homosexual guru regimes? Isn't Krishna rather amazing how He arranges these types of situations? Its like watching a movie that has surprise twists at every turn, which no one could have possibly imagined would have happened from the start of the film.
