[PADA: Thanks for this link Jojo. Yep, right out of the gate here, Bhakti Caru swami claims that his fellow GBC gurus -- ok many of whom have (according to their own documents) fallen into illicit sex with men, women and possibly children -- are going to take our karma and absorb our sins. Right, because the guru is like Jesus, and thus he can take our sins. Wait? How can debauchees, or persons voted in by debauchees, take sins like Jesus? Yes, its another attack on Jesus, agreed.
Good points.
Sorry, a conditioned soul cannot take our karma. And Srila Prabhupada says these fake Jesus have to go to hell and so do their followers, because a conditioned soul is not a diksha guru who can take sins. Of course, even if maybe a conditioned soul could take karma in abstract theory, persons engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children are totally trapped by their own sins, they cannot liberate another person no matter what. Yes, the guru has to take the karma, but unless he is pure, he will be cheating people because he has no capacity to absorb the sins of others. ys pd] angel108b@yahoo.com
Dear PADA: Disciples of Bhakti Charu Swami complain that he "completely ignores disciples who do not possess or earn lots of money". When he makes "preaching tours" in the West he only visits Hindu hotspots and tells rich Hindus about projects that require money. This is not how Prabhupada used to preach. Bhakti Charu Swami simply is after money and not sure how long this takes until rich Hindus stop to support this man. In video above he speaks like as if devotees who want initiation from him only can be idiots. "In ISKCON we don't actually need Brahmanas". So he doesn't want to give brahmin initiation anymore?
ReplyDeletePrabhupada: "Without becoming a brahmana, nobody can become a Vaishnava"
[PADA: Yes, but it is interesting that he right away agrees that he and his pals are taking tons of karma. Sometimes people write and tell me the GBC folks don't know about this "karma" point and PADA is the only promoter of this idea. Nope, they DO know their gurus are taking karma. And they must then know -- that their taking karma takes them to hell, but they don't believe shastra. Its atheism. Anyway other than that, yep its always about the money. ys pd]
