ISKCON Bhakti Tirtha Swami Recounts His Trip to Yamaraja (John Favors)


Bhakti Tirtha swami 
(Died from Melanoma Cancer)

"Standing at the court of death" by Bhakti Tirtha swami:

Death recently came and stole me away, like a thief snatching his prey in the dead of night. I found myself constantly thinking: "Why me? Why am I here of all places?" Days, months and years had gone by so quickly. I remembered being in primary school, high school, then college, and later traveling around the world. In my late forties, I had begun to feel some distinct changes in my body, but I had continued to live like I was immortal. I should have understood that those changes were signs of my machine wearing down.

Now, as I looked around, there was complete silence one moment, and then seconds later I heard loud screaming. A series of thoughts bombarded me. "Surely this noise will deafen me," I thought, "I've never felt so alone in my life." Then, moments later, I felt suffocatingly crowded in, as if I no longer had individuality.

At the height of my bewilderment, Lord Yamaraj, the fearsome Superintendent of Death, appeared, along with his court appointees. Instantly, I began shrieking at them: "This is a mistake. I am not supposed to be here!" To my astonishment, all around me I could hear millions of other souls making similar, desperate pleas!

I tried to distinguish myself, to show that I was different, but each of the millions of souls around me had similar tactics. Although each of us was feeling that we did not belong in this courtroom, Lord Yamaraj somehow mysteriously addressed each person and explained to each of us why we had been brought before him.


Then Yamaraj looked directly at me and addressed me with stinging sarcasm. "You are Bhakti-Tirtha Swami Krishnapada. Where is the tirtha of bhakti?" My mouth dropped open and I stood silently.

[PADA: Yes, Bhakti Tirtha swami was using the title of "Krishnapada" which means he evidently thought he was more elevated than the actual acharyas who generally avoid using such an advanced title. A sanskrit friend said that "Krishnapada" is technically a title more higher than "Prabhupada," and should never be used by a neophyte.


In sum! A neophyte cannot use the title of "equal to Krishna's (feet) padas" -- no less. A neophyte is not anywhere near "equal to Krishna's feet," and that is something every other sincere neophyte knows, so they do not use that title. An arrogant fool on the other hand might hi-jack this title not knowing the severe aparadha involved. "Yes, as a matter of fact I am equal to Krishna's feet, any questions"?

BTS was also promoting other GBC gurus like Kirtanananda swami as "His Divine Grace Srila Kirtanananda swami Bhaktipada." Surely Yamaraja will want to know why BTS has been promoting a guy who is: Sitting in a giant golden seat covered with the hands of fifty boys; Is running a huge criminal operation which has to be SWAT team raided by the Federal Marshals; Is reportedly having oral sex with minors in his motorhome; Worse, is aiding in orchestrating a society wide child molesting process; Even worse, is aiding in orchestrating the banning, beating and assassinating of the dissenters who wanted to worship Srila Prabhupada instead of these deviants. 

That is the behavior of "Srila Bhaktipada"? 

And worse, Kirtanananda had been promoting Jayatirtha as "Srila Jayatirtha Tirthapada." That is their Tirtha of Bhakti? And KS said the real Jayatirtha is performing pure service somewhere else, and its only the maya Jayatirtha who is falling into sex and drugs, so we need to keep Jayatirtha in the acharya's seat. And KS said this maya Jayatirtha is like the story of Sita Rama, ummm, the "maya Sita" is connected to Kirtanananda's illicit sex and drugs acharyas? 

That is an insult to mother Sita, there is no connection to illicit sex and drugs / bogus acharyas and mother Sita, this is a severe aparadha. Why is BTS promoting all these fools and their false siddhanta? A foolish neophyte is fallen into sex and drugs and therefore -- this is "just like the story of the maya Sita"? And Kirtanananda made an audio tape to distribute all over ISKCON, and no one noticed this was a bad idea, including BTS?] 

YAMARAJA: "Have you been able to get the souls under your care to take full shelter of you and give up their sinful habits? I think not!" He said. I could offer only a bashful shrug. "Didn't you know that if you could not and did not purify your dependents that you would be accountable for their sins? You have so many hundreds of sinners connected to you. Thus, you have huge quantities of debts to atone for. Even your own purity cannot save you now. What, then, do you propose?"

[PADA: Right. A conditioned soul cannot absolve his own sins, and if he takes the karma of hundreds / thousands of other conditioned souls, he has to take the burden of  these sins with him into the next life. So yes, BTS is correct -- one will have "huge quantities of debt to atone for." And so will all these other GBC gurus who are acting as karma vacuum cleaners. That means they were never qualified to take other's sins from square one.


And! That is why Srila Prabhupada gave the story of the snake being eaten by ants. 

The snake was the former guru and the ants where the former disciples. And since the guru could not absorb the sins of his followers, he had to be eaten by the former disciples as an atonement for cheating his disciples. In any case, this shows that at least some of these GBC's gurus know that they are absorbing the sins of others, and this will affect them now and in the later lives they will experience. 

When BTS was sick, someone wrote "we have to pray for BTS since he took so many sins." Well yep, he had no authority to take sins and Srila Prabhupada says if we neophytes take sins we will get sick, fall down or both, of course the NOI says such fools "will eventually become degraded." Then again, some of them just up and died from taking sins.

Vipramukhya used to say that every time he initiated someone he got sick from taking karma, so there is some awareness of this issue. And here BTS spells out clearly that he DOES know that he and the other GBC gurus are claiming to be another diksha guru aka another Jesus, and thus they are claiming to be taking the karma of others.]

BTS: Again I said nothing. But then Yamaraj allowed me to study the scenes of my lifetime, and of many other lifetimes preceding it. I saw myself in and out of so many different bodies, like an actor in his dressing room trying on different costumes. In each body-costume, I would parade around for a few moments. But I noticed that in each body, no matter how different it was from the last, I felt completely at home and identified it as myself-often completely forgetting my mission.

Even during times when I had some clear power of recollection, the surrounding environment would have such an impact on me that I would frequently become acculturated. As I studied these previous lives of mine, it seemed foolish that I had become so absorbed in my distractions and superficialities. It was even more ridiculous how I tolerated so much nonsense from those under my care, as if negative situations would just blow away. In every life there was much assistance available to help me tune into the spiritual world, but I was so carried away with each costume and backdrop that I kept neglecting the obvious.

Then suddenly I sped up to this lifetime, to examine it more carefully. This time, I had even more divine help than in my previous lives, but still the distractions were many. I looked again at Yamaraj and tried to formulate a defense. In a cracking voice, I said: "I chanted my sixteen rounds every single day and never broke any of the four regulative principles."


[PADA: OK this is what these guys keep saying, anyone who chants their rounds can take the post of Krishna's padas, and take the post of another Jesus, and absorb the sins of thousands of people by taking the post of a diksha guru. "Yes, as a matter of fact I am so humble, I am another Jesus." Sorry, that makes one a million times more arrogant than the average person on the street, who never thinks he will absorb the sins of others as if he is another Jesus. No normal person thinks they can absorb the sins of others, because they are humble. 

A person who chants their rounds is ALSO simply a neophyte, he cannot absorb the sins of others, he cannot use the title of Vishnupada, Acharya-pada, Guru-pada, Krishnapada etc. Srila Prabhupada never said that a person who chants their rounds can then take the post of acharya and absorb the sins of others. Rather he said the exact opposite, if we neophytes take sins WE WILL HAVE TO SUFFER.

A regulated devotee is a sadhaka and not an acharya. Again, that is why Srila Prabhupada said if we sadhakas absorb the sins of others we will get sick, fall down, and many of them died -- including BTS. Srila Prabhupada says only an uttama has the brahmana tejyas which can burn off the sins of his followers, so he is not affected. 


Send me Your Karma, I'm Really Able to Absorb It!

Fer Sure!


Anyone who is not uttama and takes other's sins, never mind the sins of hundreds of others, will have to atone for them by staying in the material world and suffering different reactions for a very long duration of time. Imagine "taking the karma" of people who are eating hamburgers, taking intoxicants, getting abortions, committing crimes, possibly murdering others and who know what else. Very arrogant to think one can absorb all this without severe reactions. Of course getting melanoma cancer is at least one possible reaction.]

King Yamaraj turned to his assistant. "Explain things to this pretender."

The assistant turned in my direction. "It's true, you chanted daily, but your chanting was more for liberation than for unmotivated, selfless service." The knot in my throat rippled. "You also followed the four regulative principles: ate no flesh, took no intoxicants, and didn't gamble or engage in illicit sex life. But in your mind you constantly broke the principles." He paused. "It's time you understood how the law works; so pay attention! Your physical body changes every lifetime, but your mind carries your actual self to its next existence; thus you are accountable for all these mental deviations."

"But what about all the service I did?" I exclaimed with smug certainty.

"Do you think that the service of your ego constitutes devotional service? Throughout all your grand service, your greatest interest was your own fame. And now, you have achieved that success you were chasing, for you are very famous here amongst the infamous."

[PADA: Yes, we have to make deviants and pedophiles into "Krishna's acharyas," and then ban, beat, molest, sue and kill the Vaishnavas who protest, all so we can sit on a big golden seat for a few years. Then there are thousands, or millions, or even billions, or even trillions of years of repercussions, that is what these guys do not understand. No one is allowed to target the worship of deviants as "God's pure devotee successors" and get away with it in the court of Yamaraja. Never mind banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing devotees is also going to land these guys at the bottom of the universe just on that charge alone.]


"But I have a powerful spiritual master," I challenged. "Surely you're aware of Srila Prabhupada!"

"You're right. And this is another reason you have been sent here. You see, to assist you and others, Lord Sri Krishna personally sent you one of His topmost special agents. Srila Prabhupada was Krishna's specially empowered representative, directly connected with Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu. Just to help the likes of you, Lord Krishna sent His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to that wretched environment you dwelled in.

Srila Prabhupada was the senapati bhakta-a great field commander who would go to every corner of the world to reclaim souls. But even though Krishna sent such a great soul to assist all of you, neither you nor the others properly honored him or fully submitted to his desires. Eventually, Lord Krishna felt that Prabhupada was overstaying, and therefore He called him back, although he was willing to continue helping you ungrateful souls."


[PADA: Yes, conditioned souls cannot sit in Srila Prabhupada's seat and claim to be his successor. One cannot be helping along in the vociferous and criminal promoting of the bogus GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children "God's successor gurus." One cannot promote sexual predators, pedophiles and deviants as one's co-successor gurus to God either -- none of this is pleasing to Krishna one iota.] 

Yamaraj's assistant continued. "Actually, in the end it was the sins of his unqualified disciples that brought Srila Prabhupada's body down so fast. You disciples must take responsibility for his early departure. In fact, persons like you must be dealt with on two levels. You will have to bear the burden you caused your spiritual master with your own weaknesses, and you will also have to carry the weight of your disciples' sins."

[PADA: Well yes, Srila Prabhupada said he was being poisoned. And then Bhakti Tirtha crew said that the people who are the prime candidates in the poisoner party are "Krishna's guru successors." So they caused Srila Prabhupada to depart early, then promoted the worship of the people who caused his untimely departure. 

What is the karma for promoting the worship of Judas and the soldiers who killed Jesus? Its not going to be good, that is for certain. Notice, BTS keeps pointing out that he will have to carry the weight of his disciples sins, i.e. he knows that he and the other bogus GBC are claiming to be equals to Jesus and they can absorb sins. That means he is knowingly cheating others because he knows he and his GBC guru pals are not fit to absorb the sins of others.

Sorry, shastra says the sins of the disciples of a conditioned soul guru act as a giant stone around one's neck and they drag that false guru down to the darkest bottom areas, to the lowest and most obnoxious regions of the universe. And yes, ruining ISKCON created a huge burden for Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, their legacy was disturbed on all levels. We cannot ruin the mission of Krishna and a pure devotee without severe consequences.]

My heart sank to my toes as he asked: "Which of these areas do you want to suffer for first?" At first I was speechless, but finally I managed to speak. "Please punish me first for those burdens I caused my guru." As soon as I said this, Lord Yamaraj Himself reappeared, but this time He was weaponless. "You, my dear, are most fortunate," Yamaraj said.

"Having pity on you, your spiritual master has intervened and summoned me to give you release." Before I could reply, he continued. "Even we are amazed at how your guru is willing to absorb more of your karmic reactions. This kind of compassion is something we rarely, if ever, see."

Then I heard my spiritual master's voice. "You do not belong there. Come with me, my beloved child, so that we can be together again." "But Srila Prabhupada, I am not worthy of you." "It doesn't matter," he answered. "But-" I resisted.
"Don't you know that at the ceremony in which you took second birth, I agreed to become your father?"

Although I wanted to, I could not speak. "My son, there is no abandonment in the spiritual world, nor are there any neglected children. Liberated spiritualists have no such dysfunction," Prabhupada said to me. "Besides, my son, our connection is eternal."

With these words, I bowed at Srila Prabhupada's feet. And when he leaned over and touched my head, contact with his fingertips caused me to spiral in unparalleled ecstasy. Suddenly, I thought of just how unworthy I was of my guru's unending compassion; then I lost consciousness.

Bhakti Tirtha Swami
The Beggar II
Meditation 12


[PADA: This is not how things work at all. 


*** Srila Prabhupada says -- if we conditioned souls imitate the acharyas, we will have to go to the most obnoxious regions. Full stop, no further explanation needed. He does not say we can imitate -- and then expect some sort of special mercy to fix that process. 

*** He also says, we cannot absorb sins, or there will be dire consequences. And BTS got dire reactions, he died prematurely himself.

*** Srila Prabhupada also says -- if we imitate pure devotees, that is sahajiya, and the sahajiyas are gliding to hell. When Srila Prabhupada says -- if we take sins, we will get sick, fall down or both, he does not say he will fix that deviation and intervene to save us. That is NOT what he said.

Meanwhile, a number of them not only got sick, and / or fell down, they died prematurely. There is no relief process given in Srila Prabhupada's directives for disobeying the order to not imitate guru, to not take sins, and so on. Its just forbidden activity, full stop period. 

*** Bhakti Tirtha swami was also helping Kirtanananda's bogus "women's sannyasini ashram" program, and one of these "swaminis" went to Africa and was alleged to be having an affair with BTS. She was evidently threatening to expose their relationship -- according to her best friend. Then, BTS sends her into to the most dangerous civil war zone -- knowing she can get killed there. And she was subsequently hacked to death with machetes, and then left to float in the ocean coming on and off the beach. 


Why was this poor woman sent by BTS to a dangerous civil war zone where people were getting hacked to death with machetes? And the other woman with her barely escaped with her life, only because she was able run and hide out, but she would also have been killed if she was not such a nimble runner. BTS knew the politics there better than these women, but he still sent them to this place anyway. And no GBC inquiry was ever made apparently?

Then again, the first UK devotee Kulashekhara (Colin Jury) was beaten up severely by BTS people and he was hospitalized with broken bones, and he lived a life of pain for the rest of his life. We all know from shastra that the people who beat up devotees will have to go into the stone rollers at Yamaraja's planet, and be crushed like a flattened pancake repeatedly. Why does BTS think he can create this policy, and then avoid the punishment?

Never mind that, the BTS / Kirtanananda regime had others beaten, and some were killed. And Srila Prabhupada is going to "save" the people who have his original disciples beaten almost to death, just so they can establish the worship of deviants and pedophiles as God's acharyas?

We cannot say, "Oh yea, we are destined to be crushed in the stone rollers at Yamaraja's planet for orchestrating beating up Krishna's devotees, therefore Krishna is going to be merciful to us and save us." Why would Krishna "save" the people who are banning, beating, suing and killing His own guru's children? Nope. He is going to first of all help -- if not save -- the victims. At least that is possible, but not save the violence inducing perps? Even in ordinary court, the perps, the vociferous inciters of violence, beatings and murders, they are punished more severely. This is common sense. 

And why would Krishna say, "OK, the people who were told NOT to absorb sins did so anyway, so let Me save them now"? Cheaters are not a priority for Krishna to be saving.

*** Krishna is going to "save" the contaminated people who claim to be equal to His feet, aka Krishna's padas? No, this is a seriously bad aparadha to claim my feet are equal to Krishna's feet. Another cheating. Even in India people are hesitant to use these titles willy nilly, they know better. 

I can claim that my contaminated feet are equal to Krishna's pure feet, and then expect that Krishna is going to give me a medal of honor for good behavior? Never going to happen, all that happens is, Krishna gets very angry at these miscreants. That is why Krishna says -- He casts these false prophet gurus into the lower species, He is upset with them.

*** Krishna is going to save these people who claim they are like another Jesus, and they can absorb sins, thus cheating tens of thousands of people into thinking conditioned souls are going to take care of their sins? So then, these thousands of people cannot be liberated because their sins are not being absolved, nor are they even being given the path to do so, which means BTS blocked them from making progress, and Krishna is going to save that program? Nope, anyone who blocks others from spiritual progress is called "a killer of the soul" "who dwells always in darkness." And hey, there are some pretty dark places in this here universe to send these folks to, trust me! 



*** And BTS was famous for lecturing about all sorts of cracker pots new age mumbo jumbo, the lost continent of Mu, space aliens on earth, Egyptian Gods, subterranean demons, in addition to saying he and his GBC pals are pure devotee gurus who can absorb one's sins. All this is simply another launching pad for endless other deviations to enter the society. As happened.

*** Then again we have BTS New Vrndavana pals burying deviants in the dham.
In fact, in corrupted ISKCON they bury pedophiles in samadhis, and porno swamis in samadhis, right next to the samadhi of Rupa Goswami, so your little kids have a nice pedophile and porno place of worship in the dham. 

We cannot make this stuff up. My legal friend said that ISKCON is committing fraud, if not corrupting the morals of children, if not child abuse by telling children to worship their pedophiles in samadhis programs. And BTS was a huge supporter and promoter of the people creating all these deviations. 

Sorry pal, we cannot support all this and expect a pardon from Yamaraja. And this is why the Isopanisad says false gurus would have been better off to have never heard of the Vedas, because they mis-used the Vedas, and that will place them in far worse hells than the ordinary citizens. Amazing, they think they can create a regime that bans, beats, molests, sues and kills Vaishnavas; And supports the worship of illicit sex with men, women and children deviants as God's successors; And claim to be as good as God -- Krishna's padas no less, but have no ability to absorb the sins of their followers -- leaving their followers in a suffering state; And have dissenters beaten and killed just because they wanted to worship Prabhupada instead of pedophiles and sexual predators; And establish the worship of the people they admit caused Prabhupada to leave untimely; And get sick, fall down and die from taking sins without authority, and Krishna is going to give them a free pass and bring them to Him in Vaikuntha. No way guys! Just saying. ys pd


Not a good program to be supporting?

  1. Thanks M Dasi. Yes, it is very ironic. If we say we should make Srila Prabhupada the current acharya, these people will all unite and have us banned, beaten, sued and maybe shot -- for "being like a Christian" and worshiping the "post samadhi" and "post mortem" acharya. Yet the GBC's folks often preach "interfaith" about how the Krishna faith and Christians are alike. Very ironic indeed.

    So they preach that we should be like the Christians and worship a so-called departed acharya, but then they will have us removed, beaten or killed if we actually implement that policy. So yes, this is hypocrisy. And now that they are dead and had to go to Yama's court, they are finding out a little too late, maybe they should have allowed the system of worship of the acharya and they should not have claimed they could take the the sins, because they are now suffering very badly in abominable situations for taking these sins without authority.

    Of course a lot of them are suffering here very badly first of all, true dat! Yes correct, after they defended keeping Jayatirtha in the guru seat, his head was chopped off. Then they just make more conditioned gurus not even caring about all these bad results. Yup!

    And that means the GBC is not doing their job of managing all this. OK lots of people have figured this out, including most of the general public. Anyway, it does seem like they understand in the back of their minds that they are headed for Yamaraja's planet, but they are just hoping against hope it won't be too bad, hee hee. ys pd

  2. LD: Call them the Corona Virus guru sampradaya. Their gurus keep dropping over sick or dead. Maybe first having an affair in the back room, then sick or dead. Regular basis just like a Virus disease. Having them die off seems the best way to cure this Virus disease. I really don't feel sorry for them, they are getting their own reaction.
