[PADA: OK good idea. Wait! Except to "petition the GBC" is more or less asking the foxes to count the chickens in the chicken house. The people who are causing the problems are not always the best people to ask to fix the problems. That is why Sanaka Rsi and others are having limited success, they keep thinking the GBC will follow some sort of CPO guidelines and all the rest of it, like the GBCs really care about following some sort of rules and guidelines. The GBC are the people who -- most of the time -- try to bend the rules, not follow them.
Anyway, once again, more people are waking up and writing to PADA. At least we are giving some of these folks a voice in these matters. More importantly, we have been saving other people from becoming future victims. And at least we have been setting some folks straight on worship of the proper acharya. Its a little like using a garden hose on a forest fire, but its better than nothing.
Meanwhile, a devotee from India wrote to complain that Jayapataka has such a big giant entourage of servants, medical personnel, giant amounts of baggage, requiring reserving three airline seats just for himself, reserving many car rentals and so on and so forth, so its costing ISKCON about a million dollars a year for all his elaborate travel expenses, never mind all the other expenses for him just in Mayapur etc.
OK then we wonder why there is no money left to fix the temples?
As another devotee said, Krishna gets to live in the ghetto and many of these GBC folks get to live in mansions, any questions? So anyone who is involved in promoting a process of putting deviants into mansions and Krishna into the ghetto gets a future birth in a bad ghetto. Meanwhile, Krishna gets to stay in His mansions in Vaikuntha. He is not actually affected by all this foolishness, but the evil doers who want Krishna to be moved into the ghetto will be affected in malefic fashion. Did I forget to mention, "told ya"! ys pd]

PRABHUPADA: “As the post [of GBC] is very great, similarly, the punishment is also very great.”
