Banu Swami Gives Contradictory Explanation of Diksha

PADA: Banu Swami says that diksha means to help remove and absorb the sins (ksha in diksha). OK so far. Yet his GBC "diksha gurus" are falling down left, right and center into illicit affairs. That means their gurus are not free from sin themselves. 

This begs the question:

How can persons (kanisthas or even falling people) who are sinful -- absorb the sins of someone else -- who is sinful? 

Banu says we do not emphasize diksha but we emphasize the holy name. False, anyone who rejects the GBC's illicit sex debauchee "diksha guru" program and / or their "parampara" process is not welcome in ISKCON. Basically, the Banu guru sampradaya contains on three types of gurus: (A) debauchees, sexual predators, homosexuals, porno swamis, child molesters etc., (B) the founder fathers, apologists, defenders, cover ups of the debauchee guru process and, (C) those "2/3 show of hands" voted into that parampara process. Where is this form of guru parampara found in shastra? 

We have countless testimony from ISKCON people, including ourselves, who are banned from ISKCON for rejecting their illicit sex with men, woman and children guru process. Banu says Bhagavata marg (chanting the holy name) is sufficient, so why does his program have an emphasis on getting "diksha" from persons "engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children" and / or their hand maidens, cheer leaders, or those "voted in" by this group? 

And now Banu swami is part of the "editing of Srila Prabhupada's books" committee, oh swell! The members of the illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara, are going to re-write the Vedas? So Banu says the diksha guru is only one person, also false. ISKCON has their messiahs falling down left, right and center, and then members are being "re-initiated." One woman we know has had four gurus, each one fell down and she went on to accept another, then another, then another. So many contradictions in his statements.

Banu swami says the shiksha guru does most of the real work, ok that means the

ritvik or agent is the more important person. Banu swami says we are having managing problems because the loyalty is divided between the diksha guru and other managers. OK but he has not explained how a debauchee guru system could advise and manage the acharyas, from square one? Or where are conditioned soul managers -- managing any acharyas? Where is this process described by Srila Prabhupada? 

Also amazing Banu swami says that people initiated into the illicit sex with men, women and children GBC guru parampara are then eligible to do deity worship. OK so now we are going to offer bhogha to the deity, through an illicit sex guru parampara? Banu says that the second initiation is the door to worship the deity, and that means, we are training people to offer bhogha to a debauchee filled guru parampara, that buries homosexual pedophiles and porno swamis in samadhis?

Maharaja, this food is so tasty! 

Was it properly offered to the illicit sex

with men, women and children guru parampara? 

Banu says that his plan is to have thousands of gurus eventually, in his illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara. Wow, so we should expand this deviation? Then he says we altered the position of the 11 to a lesser form of worship than previous diksha gurus, but where did Srila Prabhupada says we have to cut back the worship of the diksha guru and the parampara? Then he says innovation is required like Apple computer, but how can we preserve the parampara, by innovating (changing) the process, over and over?  

To sum! We need to worship the guru, and that means, we have to select one from the Banu swami debauchee's guru parampara. Told ya! ys pd

Ramadevi ACBS Departs

Ramadevi Dasi (UK)

http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2020/05/prayer-request-for-ramadevi-acbs.html

https://www.facebook.com/ramadevi.dasi.5

We are sad to inform devotees that Srila Prabhupada's dear disciple Ramadevi left this world here in Mayapur Dham sometime between the auspicious time of 3 and 3:30 am on the appearance day of Srila Thakur Bhaktivinode. Her Giriraja sila was next to her and there was a recording playing of Srila Prabhupada chanting japa. Ramadevi is famous for her dedicated and artistic services of designing and making outfits for the Mayapur deities. She was a thoughtful and caring person who wished well to everyone. She will be greatly missed.

[PADA: This is all the info I have at present. I think she had some form of cancer. 

She was very good at sewing deity outfits and trying to dress Krishna nicely. And she was always friendly towards me. I knew her when I was in UK. Evidently she was taken care of by the Mayapur program, which is good. Anyway, she is now on another journey, and thus we wish her -- Godspeed. ys pd]

Pray For Gopal Krishna Swami's Virus Recovery

Kirtanananda swami used to call this GBC guru

"Goofball Krishna." 

Maybe he was right on this issue?

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

After a period of repeated fevers, it has been confirmed today that His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami has tested positive for Covid-19. Maharaja's health condition is stable at present with a low-grade fever. Doctors plan to run further tests tomorrow to rule out any complications.

We request the devotees to kindly offer sincere prayers at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Prahlad-Nrsimhadeva to protect this very exalted and kind-hearted Vaisanva.

Maharaja is one of the most senior devotees in our movement, having been personally appointed as a GBC member by Srila Prabhupada. In his fifty years of service to His Divine Grace, Maharaja has taken ISKCON to newer and newer heights of excellence through his dynamic preaching to the highest echelons of society, his expert management of various projects around the world, his personal care for the devotees, and his unparalleled example of perfect sadhana.

Let us join together to pray that Maharaja's health may be stronger than ever so that he may continue in his glorious service.

Thank you very much.

Hare Krsna,

Your servants,

Ramai Swami
Bhakti Caitanya Swami
Bhanu Swami,
GBC Executive Committee

[PADA: Right, burying a known homosexual pedophile "guru" in a samadi in the dham is "great dynamic preaching." Did we forget to mention this pedophile guru evidently encouraged if not orchestrated the assassination of various dissenters, giving ISKCON a huge black eye of bad publicity? And burying a porno swami in samadhi in the dham is another example of "dynamic preaching." We need to pray for this continued "service"? Just asking! Anyway good luck Maharaja, which is more than we can say you wished upon your program's victims. ys pd] 

A More detailed description of the current health situation with HH Gopal Krishna Maharaja:

Dear Maharajas, Prabhus, Matajis, Disciples and wellwishers of HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja,

I am writing this note to allay any speculation or confusion surrounding the health situation of Guru Maharaja. As on date, Maharaja has been diagnosed as Covid Positive. He had fluctuating fever for the last few weeks and it was suspected. Maharaja was struggling a bit with fever for the last one month and now it has already come down. In June, Maharaja underwent a comprehensive test and he tested Covid Negative. Since the symptoms were almost similar, we had postponed the tests for Corona. However, now that he has tested positive, we would like to ensure maximum professional care.

Now that the tests have turned out positive, the team of nearly 8 doctors consisting of Maharaja’s senior disciples from the US and Delhi has been completely dedicated to monitoring Maharaja’s health situation.

They have administered some very effective medication because of which Guru Maharaja’s fever has now completely reduced and the temperature is now normal as is his breathing. He had some heavy cough which has also now decreased significantly in just one night! He is feeling tired though and so is resting. The team of Doctors has now decided that for 3-4 days, it would be a better option to have Maharaja admitted at a leading hospital where he could be cared for better and our doctors also could have access to the tests, treatment and progress. 

We will also have the option of having devotee bystanders with Guru Maharaja for more personalized care. Over these few days, we will get more tests done to ensure that Guru Maharaja has no other complications. This way, they will be able to monitor the vital parameters as we may not be able to do so as effectively here from within the temple environment.

We need to be cautious to rule out any difficulty and so Maharaja would be moving to the hospital tomorrow for a few tests. He has asked all disciples to continue with their sadhana with great attention and always keep trying to please Srila Prabhupada in this movement. This is something he asks us all always to do. As of now Maharaja is in good spirits. He did a bit of deity worship and chanted his Gayatri like normally he does and as mentioned, was resting well; now he is chanting. With everyone’s prayers, Krishna willing, we may not even have to move Guru Maharaja to the hospital for further tests tomorrow!

I will be posting updates frequently on Guru Maharaja’s health situation. Kindly do not circulate any unnecessary rumors or sentimental messages on any media.

Krishna Priya Das (on behalf of the Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja Health Care Team

[PADA: There you have it. When a rank and file peon has a health crisis they have to start a fundme to get money for some care, and that care is really limited in any case. When the GBC jet set gurus get sick, they get to go to Cedars Sinai or some other professional health care hospital with all sorts of servants and help. Tody ya! ys pd]

Satanic "Vaishnava Groups"? From S. Dasi

What about the children?

S. Dasi: Seems you are saying ... many Vaishnava groups have been involved in supporting the ISKCON child molesting. I for one cannot understand ... how so many children, mothers and others ... could have been mistreated so badly. Its heart breaking to read their accounts. Why was there not a big outcry from the Vaishnava universe? 

This is very disturbing to me if true. 

Can you summarize reactions you got from different groups .... when you reported to them? It seems very confusing to some of us what really happened. And who was doing what. 

I have very little to do with ISKCON myself now. They seem to be not trustworthy. I need to understand, are they simply not trustworthy? Or is there some underground ... Satanic abuse culture ... we should know about? My kids sometimes associate with other Vaisnava kids. So it is important for me to know what has been going on. 

PADA: First of all there was never ANY "order" from Srila Prabhupada to establish the worship of conditioned souls as gurus / acharyas / messiahs in ISKCON. The whole process of doing that has been a deviation. 

Many of my God Brothers told me, "we have to follow the GBC gurus, because Srila Prabhupada told us to follow the GBC." Ummm maybe, but he never said -- follow the GBC when they jump off the cliff -- and make themselves into artificial acharyas? And then various people supported the GBC's bogus guru process as we shall summarize herein. 

When false gurus are allowed, its sort of like worshiping a Satanic principle, or perhaps worship of the witch Putana. If we worship an evil person -- thinking this is great service to God, we change worship of God into worship of evil. As we see in many places around the world, all kinds of "religious" people think that doing evil, even killing other people for being "non-believers," is "serving God." Nope. Its serving Satan, or the material modes of ignorance. Its why the Bhagavad Gita says false religionists are in the modes of ignorance, and they are destined to go into lower life forms and lower planets. 

If we worship "modes of ignorance" type people and claim they are heavenly, then hellish things will happen in our society. So basically, ISKCON started to worship various ignorant / lower class / Satanic behaving people, or Putana like imitations of pure devotees. And the results have been clear, a lot of evil has transpired. 

Then again, witches were known to offer food to Satan, to give the contaminated food to people -- to harm or kill them. Tantric witch doctors use a similar process to place curses on people. One devotee suggested that worship of the GBC's gurus is like some sort of Voodoo process. 

In short, it is a Satanic process to replace the worship of the acharya with deviants, and then coercing if not forcing the citizens to accept these deviants as gurus. And thus ever since 1978, one of the main complaints PADA gets all the time is, that we are "destroying ISKCON." Ooops! Worship of deviants is not ISKCON. 

And if we allow the ISKCON children to be exploited, and subsequently alienated and aloof from the society, then what will happen to the ISKCON society? It is not sustainable, the society will fail. Never mind many of the victims are now angry and resentful towards the institution (thus many of them avoid participating in it). 

That means the ISKCON ship will sink and / or be destroyed in any event. Without many hands on deck to manage the big ship, the big ship cannot be managed properly. And then the ship's motor runs out of gas, the steering rudder gets loose, the navigator goes missing, and it runs aground and sinks. A society will cease to function properly -- if the children of that society abandon the society and jump ship. And Srila Prabhupada warned of that, if the children are not treated well, they will reject the religion. So destroying the children destroys the society, that is the end result. 

Another woman wrote to complain to us that she was told by a GBC type that her child had accepted the wrong guru "because her child had not read the books carefully." OK, but she asks -- "how can we say five year old children are supposed to be scholars -- who have read all the Vedas already"? This is insane, a small child has to "read the Vedas to understand what is a guru, and decide which one he should accept." And what happens when all the ISKCON gurus are conditioned souls and the child does not accept any of them? Then the child will be rejected and cannot be part of ISKCON. A five year old child has to read the books and understand what is a guru, but the GBC does not have to?

That means -- the GBC admit they are not reading the books -- because they are making bogus people into gurus -- which means -- they have not yet studied the issue. Making false gurus is in any case demoniac (Satanic) and there are so many quotes on this point -- we could fill many pages of materials citing these types of quotes.  

The deviant and self-appointed 11 GBC ISKCON gurus in 1978 first off had big support from the Gaudiya Matha's BR Sridhara Maharaja. And even AFTER Sridhara was eventually told that "His Divine Grace Srila Jayatirtha Tirthapada Maharaja" is taking drugs and having sex with at least one follower, Sridhara Maharaja said Jayatirtha has to stay in the acharya's seat. 

OK so there is not even basic respect for the "Vyasa - asana" or guru's seat in ISKCON? Lets put a lusty dog on the "pure as God" Vyasa seat -- and worship him as the acharya. So of course this is demonic -- or Satanic. To tell people to worship a lusty dog as if he is as good as God, or Srila Vyasadeva, is evil. 

It is also called "bait and switch." 

First we worship the actual Vyasa successor (Srila Prabhupada) then we remove the real successor from the seat -- and place a lusty dog there instead. No respect for the seat, which is why Lord Balarama killed Romaharsana Suta. Sridhara Maharaja is being told they are deviating, and still he says, keep the deviants in the guru seat. 

The Vyasa - asana (seat) is meant for someone who is as pure as God, and Sridhara evidently thinks deviants are as pure as God and deserve that level of worship, and that seat. And that is why Sridhara became the darling of the GBC in 1978, he insisted that deviants can and indeed MUST sit in the guru's seat. OK that is like putting a deity of Satan in the church and having people worship Satan instead of Jesus. Of course, this will produce malefic effect. 

And more importantly Sridhara said, "none (of us dissenters) should protest." Which made it very difficult for us protesters. Basically Sridhara made the GBC program into a violent cult -- the 11 GBC folks are pure devotees, we cannot protest. Those protesting became targets of violence, death threats etc. So we have to promote the worship of a lusty dog as if he is a good as God, and no one should oppose that process. And we did not expect all sorts of hellish reactions?

However! Srila Prabhupada says -- a guru who has sex with a follower is the same as a father having sex with his daughter. So right out of the gate -- the ISKCON GBC and their "advisors" were promoting the worship of what Srila Prabhupada defines as -- a form of incestuous pedophilia -- or at least it is de facto. The elders or leaders are persons in a post of authority, as father or guru, and then they might take advantage and exploit the subordinates. 

So its a pedophile type of process direct or indirect. Yes! It is in fact Satanic activity, and if persons engaged in that Satanic activity become worshiped as the messiahs of the religion, then yes, its Satanic worship. Its worship of sexual predators / pedophiles / deviant behaviors. So its really many different deviations included simultaneously, but rooted in Satanic sexual predatory consciousness, which includes pedophilia. So all sorts of crimes are going on, but the root is the same, prematurely giving guru status to the leaders of the criminal regime. 

Of course this explains why the fallen gurus / sexual predators / child pedophiles process later on exploded all over ISKCON, the Satanic root sprouted and grew. And there has been a sort of complex system of molester's nests and webs, usually conducted by older devotees exploiting the younger ones. Same idea was spreading, misuse of a post of superior power. However if we look at this situation, the worship of predators as gurus has been the seed or root of this explosion. 

In sum, the worship of pedophile guru systems has become defined as bona fide "ISKCON." And anyone who does not want to support their worship of pedophiles as acharyas process becomes "an offender and a demon" who is "against ISKCON." So this process had made a lot of sub-violent fanatical followers of the Satanic pedophile worship regime. Even now sometimes their people still write me saying, "you are an offender, you need to have your tongue chopped out" etc.

And thus it has been been very dangerous to oppose the pedophile pooja-ites, and the fanatical followers of their regime. Again to be clear, dissenters were targeted with banning, shunning, beatings, lawsuits, death threats and sometimes -- assassinations. So we have to worship Satan, and the entire GBC's Satanic process, or we are not in ISKCON. And we should be exiled and maybe -- assassinated for our disagreeing -- with direct or de facto pedophile worship. 

This mentality is still prevailing in sectors of official ISKCON. So not only is the worship process itself Satanic, but the subsequent process of enforcing the worship by banning, beating, lawsuits and assassinating etc. is also Satanic. 

And! If the "acharyas" are pedophiles direct or de facto, then the women and children exploiting process will spread like wildfire all over that pedophile worshiping society, because "we become what we worship." 

So that was what started all this at root, ISKCON began to worship essentially the pedophile mentality as its saints, gurus and acharyas. That is also what the Christians call -- Satan appearing as the Anti-Christ. Satan makes pretend he is another Christ, but he is simply Satan posing as another Jesus.  

Then a whole bunch of ISKCON sannyasas like Sudheera Krishna, Panchadravida, Jagat Guru swami, Tripurari swami, Paramadvaiti swami, and many others, all jumped on board to support Sridhara Maharaja -- and his idea that we need to have our ISKCON children worship their pedophiles as acharyas process. Then some of these "big leader" fellows later had big scandals of their own -- like Paramadvaiti swami. That means the pedophile beeja or seed was sprouting in different directions and manifestations.

Even Hansadutta was promoting BR Sridhara Maharaja as late as 1985, because BR Sridhara told Hansadutta to stay in the acharya's seat despite Sridhara knowing he was having illicit sex and drugs problems [in the San Francisco area] which was creating all sorts of bad news media reports. OK so things were starting to trend more and more towards promoting a sort of de facto pedophile guru process. And many other devotees jumped on board cheering on BR Sridhara Maharaja for "saving ISKCON," by giving ISKCON a de facto pedophile guru worship process. Yep, when there is a problem, worship of pedophiles as messiahs is certainly the cure. OK it is -- for these folks.

And we knew that Sridhara Maharaja had ALREADY endorsed a bi-sexual deviant as their acharya in 1936, which resulted in banning, beating, sexual predator gurus, lawsuits, the guru's child being poisoned and then the guru committed suicide, and assassinations of dissenters, bad media and so on. So there was a big change in ISKCON right then, the GBC wanted us to promote what Srila Prabhupada says is de facto inestuous pedophilia, as the acharya successors to God Almighty. 

And many / most of our God brothers went along with that process, and they derided and attacked me for criticizing Jayatirtha, and questioning Sridhara Maharaja's views. So the horse was already out of the barn, ISKCON was now going to worship what Srila Prabhupada says are different forms of pedophilia. And again, its well known that "we become what we worship." So if we have a society that promotes the worship of pedophiles, then the whole society will become infected and permeated with what it worships, and it did. 

Then we targeted Tamal as a main ring leader / cheer leader of the Bhavananda molester webs and nests program. And BV Narayana Maharaja defended Tamal and became Tamal's biggest hand maiden assistant and apologist. And as a result, the Narayana Maharaja people began to attack me as well for "criticizing pure devotees." Tamal used to lecture that his two favorite people in the world are BV Narayan and Bhavananda (a homosexual guru). Later BV Narayan admitted that Bhavananda has been acting as a homosexual, and thus BV Narayan has himself been supporting a homosexual guru process. 

So we argued that deviants (like Tamal) and the cheer leaders of pedophile guru programs (like BV Narayan Maharaja -- as Tamal's hand maiden) are not pure devotees. Did I forget to mention some of the "Narayan Maharaja guru successors" are alleged to be having sexual predator problems? Same root or beeja. They are worshiping apparently some lusty dogs as their messiahs, and the same root will produce the same evil fruits.

Anyway! It turned out Harikesha was having an affair with a follower. So his followers were upset with me for exposing and challenging his guru status.

And then it turned out Ramesvara was "dating" a teen aged disciple.

And then it turned out Bhavananda was having homosexual affairs with various persons, including taxi drivers in the holy dham.

And then it turned out Hansadutta was having affairs with maybe half dozen women.

And then it turned out that Satsvarupa was having an affair with a follower.

And then it turned out Kirtanananda was having some homosexual pedophile program, and he had a number of followers who participated in the webs and nests of his operation.

And Bhagavan was apparently having some sort of affair.

And so on and so forth ...

In short, there was a flood of leaders including gurus, temple presidents, women's samkirtan party leaders (often lead by a man) etc. in ISKCON taking advantage of their subordinates. It was in fact an epidemic of leaders and elders having affairs with subordinates, which is de facto pedophilia according to Srila Prabhupada's definition. 

And some of the older kids were trained to perfom sex, so they would attack the younger kids. Same process is going on here, the older group is agressing the younger group. If the leaders are predators, then it filters down to the other levels. What a great man does -- others will imitate. Of course if the leader is a Satanic person, then Satanic behaviors will filter down to the other levels. 

In other words, the pedophile root, i.e. worship of pedophiles as messiahs, was now sprouting extended roots, branches, leaves and fruits, and it was growing exponentially. That is why one of the ex-children victims told me pedophiles "were to be found in every nook and cranny of ISKCON." 

Yep, you truly become what you worship, its a proven fact. For example I know some guy who listens to famous rock and roll drummers, and he tries to do what they do, he de facto meditates on them. And so, he becomes like them, and he is actually a great drummer. So if the person we are imitating and meditating on is a pedophile, or de facto pedophile, and the whole society is worshiping such persons, then that process will filter down into the whole society in various ways and means.

So the main GBC body got behind their worship of pedophiles as acharyas process, and that spread the process throughout the society like a cancerous tumor. And they made a rule, we have to eat food offered to their pedophiles or the cheer leaders of the peodphile worship program. And if we offer food to a pedophile guru process, that food becomes contaminated by that quality. 

And the persons eating that food will then trend towards being pedophiles, having sympathy for pedophiles, covering up for pedophiles, not reporting pedophiles to the police, and / or viciously defending the worship of pedophiles etc. Is all of this Satanic, well yup! Some ex-kulis are now writing about how amazing it is that so many pedophiles in the society were NEVER REPORTED to the POLICE. The society became paralyzed to really act on this issue because there was now a root of worship of this deviation sprouting branches and leaves and fruits, all over the place. 

So first of all we have had the main GBC body promoting direct or de facto pedophiles as their messiahs from heaven. Then the GBC body was supported by people like BR Sridhara Maharaja, BV Narayan Maharaja, and various other "advisors" from India. And many God brothers also went along with the peodphile acharya's process. 

And basically none of these people in any of these groups took kindly to our pointing out that there was a pedophile worship root to their program. And many of my God brothers left me hanging in the breeze way back when all this started in 1978, they supported the regime and would not support our protest.

So on and on it has gone, with anyone who objects to the worship of a pedophile guru process being labelled as "against ISKCON." Or worse, "is destroying ISKCON." So later on when we helped the molesting victims (some of whom were committing suicide) with a molesting lawsuit, all sorts of people came out saying that our helping hundreds of children get pulled out of GBC's schools, and helping stop suicides of victims is RUINING ISKCON. Wow, so mass molesting and a growing suicides epidemic is ISKCON, who knew! So hell is really heaven, hee hee! 

Later on, after we helped having hundreds of children being pulled from GBC schools in 1997, and we helped reduce the suicides, then people like Naranarayan das and his disciples like Sanat, Mukunda, Prahlad, Krishna Kirtan, Pancali, Janardan, HKC Jaipur etc. all started to complain that PADA is "ruining ISKCON" by destroying their pedophile guru program and subsequent abuse and suicides, which they evidently claim is "ISKCON." Oh ISKCON is being destroyed. OK, but if you destroy the children, ISKCON is already destroyed a long time ago.

 The Pedophile Guru Club's Conference

OK so these people evidently think that anal sex with children "guru's school" programs, causing anal reconstructive surgery epidemics, are God's program on earth, named ISKCON? They think Satan's program is -- God's. Nope!

Evidently no one told these folks that worship of a homosexual pedophile messiah's program is -- not -- God's program? Nor are these programs "ISKCON." And its an insult to God to say -- that this is His program, when clearly it is not His program. 

And then we have Jayadvaita swami saying that their gurus are having illicit sex with men, women and maybe children. Again, how is this God's program? Nope. This is Satan's program, and these folks are the defenders of Satan and his program.

This is another devotee who thinks that our stopping mass molesting and suicide of victims is bad idea:

http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2020/08/mahavidhya-das-michael-keith-powell.html

To sum then, the GBC and most of the God brothers (especially at the start in 1978) went along with the worship of the debauchees guru process. 

Then Sridhara Maharaja, Narayan Maharaja, and many other big leaders from India acted as cheer leaders, defenders, apologists, shastric advisors, rasika gurus, etc. to defend the worship of deviants in Krishna's Vyasa seat. 

Then people like Bhakta das, Swarupa Hebel etc. began to complain that PADA is "too heavy" and these guys started taking intoxicants. So the children are being abused and these guys think their getting high on drugs is going to help. So when they are having severe trouble some day, the potential help will ignore them and take drugs. 

And Bhakta das says Radhanath is a saint, when many victims are infuriated that Radhanath has any post at all. BV Puri says that Srila Prabhupada had only made ritviks, then he invites Radhanath over to do a program at his Math. So one case after another, people from basically almost all the camps compromised with the molester acharyas, if not defended the regime.   

The best question really should be, how many people helped PADA stem this overwhelming tide of support for the worship of deviants as messiahs and acharyas? And that would be a small number of people, which includes a lot of "karmis." So its a sad thing to report, but many of the so-called Vaishnava groups are in illusion on so many levels. 

Someone sent me a link to a Narayan guru and he was saying Radha is superior to Krishna because Krishna is black, which is the absence of color, and Radha is gold which is the total of all colors. And thus Krishna is like a black hole and Radha is like the shining stars. OK where do they get all this from, its total off the wall imagining. Meanwhile, as these guys speculate on Radha and Krishna, they cannot explain why BV Narayan supported the GBC's pedophile guru process, nor can they explain why some of the gurus in their process are deviating? 

So child attacking Putana witch being worshiped as a nice beautiful gopi is -- a mistake. She has come here to eat the children of Vrndavana. And if we worship the Putana program, the children of Vrndavana will be -- eaten. And we will be co-responsible for that evil process by our acquiescing -- if not promoting -- the wrong thing.  

And I do also believe that so many "senior" devotees (or even actually juniors too) are dying early of cancer, heart attacks, liver disease, brain tumors, alcohol poison, drug overdose, the China virus and so many other fatal things, because the evil has affected and afflicted them. It has settled within them in some form or another and its manifesting as a fatal ailment.   

Anyway, this is a summary, hope this helps! ys pd

"Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them. They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust. Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world."

Fundme For Bhumi Dasi's Cancer Situation

 https://www.gofundme.com/f/bhumi?

PADA: Bhumi is a nice soul really. And she has done tons of service back in the day. However later on, she was one of the devotees who was always critical of PADA, saying we are "making offenses" "blaspheming great devotees" (the GBC?) and so on and so forth. 

Now (perhaps?) she is finally figuring out one of the things we were always complaining about. Devotees have been exploited for money collecting, often collecting thousands and sometimes million of dollars, only to be discarded later on and left with no resources. 

That in our opinion is very sinful, to not care for the citizens. The citizens who built up the society were then purged out using different tricks, and then they ended up destitute and financially pretty much penniless. Then the temples were converted into Hindu cash cows.

We know of a great former kirtan devotee who ended up living in the parking lot of a hospital, sleeping in his car. Then he was going into the hospital during the day for treatment. He later died at that same hospital without any real form of outside help coming to take care of him. 

Meanwhile, at Mayapur Jayapataka was saying he was going to resume spending millions of dollars suing the Bangalore devotees. So it seems like there is always millions of bucks on hand to pay expensive lawyers for foolish lawsuits, but nothing left for the poor peons when they need care? Very sad. Anyway, if someone could arrange to get some care to Bhumi that would be nice. Another victim of the Great Bully Criminals (GBC). Did I forget to mention, yet one more devotee, who has cancer? ys pd         

Women Outnumber Men Priests in Sweden

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/sweden-god-woman-022715806.html

PADA: Good idea. Women should become preachers. As long as they are qualified and know the scriptures, they should be allowed to take preaching posts. Especially since so many men ended up as sexual exploiters in the priest post, that won't be such an epidemic with women priests. 

Women can learn the scriptures as good as a man, so why not let them preach? PADA has had many women devotee allies over the years, and they know the siddhanta better than many / most men devotees. Worse, some of these women allies have not been afraid to preach the PADA principles -- when a lot of ISKCON men wimped out and hid away -- skulking in the corner out of paranoid delusions. That is why I told one woman devotee, when I am in the foxhole -- out gunned and out numbered and the enemy is attacking -- I'd rather have you by my side than a thousand of these wimply men, hee hee! 

Of course this is why Bhakti Vikas swami always attacks devotee women. 

Many of these women know that the entire BVKS homosexual and pedophile guru process is a deviation and they oppose it, while BVKS has been sitting around licking the jack boots of the founder fathers of the molester messiahs program like Jayapataka. These women are several million light years ahead of a lot of these "senior advanced men." 

Even a "karmi" news lady asked me -- why are all these devotees worshiping Kirtanananda sitting on a big seat, covered with the hands of many little boys? She asked, "why are your 'big leaders' promoting what is self-evidently 'pedophile heaven'"? Yep, and another woman reporter told me her car was run off the road by New Vrndavana goondas in a van. So we would rather fight with these ladies than a pile of so-called big advanced devotee men, and we have. Credit should be given where credit is due.

Parsva Ekadasi and Appearance of Lord Vamanadeva

Parsva Ekadasi

FAST TILL NOON FOR Appearance Of Lord Vamanadeva

Sri Yudhishthira Maharaja asked of Lord Sri Krishna, "What is the name of that Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight (shukla paksha) of the month of Bhadrapada (August-September "Hrishikesha mase")? 

Who is the worshipable Deity for this Ekadasi, and what merit does one attain in observing it? Kindly reveal all of this to me my Lord." The Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna addressed His devoted Yudhishthira as follows, "This Ekadasii, Oh Yudhishthira, is called Vamana Ekadasi, and it bestows upon those who observe it both great merit and ultimate liberation from material bondage.

Therefore, because it removes all one's sinful reactions, it is also called Jayanti Ekadasi. Just hearing of its glories frees one from all his past misdeeds. So auspicious is this fast that observing it bestows the same merit as that earned by performing a horse sacrifice. There is no better Ekadasi than this, because it awards liberation so easily. Thus if one truly desires freedom from the punishing material world, one should fast on Vamana Ekadasi. 

"While observing this holy fast, a Vaishnava should lovingly worship the Supreme Lord in His form as Vamandev, the dwarf incarnation, whose eyes are like lotus petals. By doing so, he worships all other Deities as well, including Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and at death he undoubtedly goes to that abode of Sri Hari. 

In all the three worlds there is no fast that is more important to observe.
The reason this Ekadasi is so auspicious is that it celebrates the day when the sleeping Lord Vishnu turns over on His other side; thus it is also known as Parivartinii Ekadasi." 

Maharaja Yudhishthira then asked of the Lord, "Oh Janardana, please clear up a question I have. How is it that the Supreme Lord sleeps and then turns over on His side? Oh Lord, when You are asleep what happens to all the other living entities? Please also tell me how You bound the king of the demons, Bali Daityaraj (Bali Maharaja), as well as how one may please the brahmanas. 

How does one observe Chaturmasya, which You mention in the Chaturmasya-mahatmya of the Bhavishya Purana? Kindly be merciful to me and answer these questions." The Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna replied, "Oh Yudhishthira, lion among Kings, I will gladly narrate to you an historical event that, simply by hearing, eradicates all one's sinful reactions. 

"In the Treta-yuga there once was a king of the name Bali. Though born in a family dynasty of demons (daityas), he was very devoted to Me. He sang many Vedic hymns to Me and performed the homa rituals (fire sacrifices) just to satisfy Me. 

He respected the twice-born brahmins and engaged them in performing sacrifices daily. This great soul had a quarrel with Indra, however, and eventually defeated him in battle. Bali took over his entire celestial kingdom, which I Myself had given to Indra. Therefore Indra and all the other devas (demigods), along with many great sages, approached Me and complained about Bali Maharaja. 

Bowing their heads to the ground and offering many sacred prayers from the Vedas, they worshipped Me along with their spiritual master, Brihaspati. Thus I agreed to appear on their behalf as a dwarf Vamanadev, My fifth incarnation." 

King Yudhishthira further enquired, "Oh Lord, how was it possible for You to conquer such a powerful demon, and only by coming in the form of a dwarf brahmin? Please explain this clearly, for I am Your faithful devotee." The Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna replied, "Though a dwarf, I was a brahmana, and I approached that pious king Bali to ask him for alms in the form of land. 

I said, 'Oh Daityraj Bali, please give Me just three steps of land in charity. Such a small piece of land will be good as all the three worlds for Me.' Bali agreed to grant My request without lengthy consideration. 

But as soon as he vowed to give Me the land, My body began to expand into a gigantic transcendental form. I covered the entire Earth with My feet, all the Bhuvarloka with My thighs, the Swarga heavens with My waist, Maharloka with My stomach, Janaloka with My chest, Tapoloka with My neck, and Satyaloka with My head and face. I covered the entire material creation. 

Indeed, all the planets of the universe, including the Sun and the Moon, were encompassed by My gigantic form." "Seeing this astonishing pastime of Mine, all the demigods, including Indra and Shesha, the king of the snakes, began to sing Vedic hymns and offer prayers to Me. 

Then I took Bali by the hand and said to him, 'Oh sinless one, I have covered the whole Earth with one step and all the heavenly planets with the second. Now where shall I place My foot to measure the third step of land you promised Me?' "Upon hearing this, Bali Maharaja bowed down in humility and offered Me his head to place My third step. 

Oh Yudhishthira, I placed My foot on his head and sent him all the way to Patalaloka. Seeing him thus humbled, I became very pleased and told Bali that henceforth I would permanently reside in his palace. Thereafter, on Parivartinii Ekadasi, which occurs during the light part of the month of Bhadra (August-September), Bali, the son of Virochana, grandson of Prahlad, installed a Deity form of Me in his residence. 

"Oh king, until Haribodhinii Ekadasi, which occurs during the light part of the month of Karttika, I continue to sleep in the ocean of milk. The merit one accumulates during this period is particularly powerful.

One should therefore observe Parivartinii EkAdasii carefully. Indeed, it is especially purifying and thus cleanses one of all sinful reactions. On this day the faithful devotee should worship Lord Trivikrama, Vamanadeva, who is the supreme father, because on this day I turn over to sleep on My other side. "If possible, on this day one should give a qualified person some yogurt mixed with rice, as well as some silver, and then remain awake throughout the night. This simple observance will free one of all material conditioning. 

One who observes this sacred Parivartinii Ekadasi in the way I have described will surely attain all kinds of happiness in this world and the kingdom of God in the hereafter. One who simply hears this narration with devotion will go to the abode of the demigods and shine there like the Moon itself, so powerful is observance of this Ekadasi. Indeed, this observance is as powerful as the performance of a thousand horse sacrifices." Thus ends the narration of the glories of Parivartinii Ekadasi, or Vamana Ekadasi, which occurs during the light part of the month of Bhadrapada, from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana.

===================

The entire universe, which is full of living entities, is like a tree whose root is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Acyuta [Kṛṣṇa]. Therefore simply by worshiping Lord Kṛṣṇa one can worship all living entities. Srimad Bhagvatam 7.14.36

Stealing Krishna's Flute (Ananda Vrindavan Champu)

Radha with Krishna's Flute 

Taken from Ananda Vrindavan Champu 

After enjoying the rasa-lila in the autumn season, Krishna relishes the pastimes of Holi and having His flute stolen which take place in the spring season. One night, Govinda and Rama (Balarama) went to the forest of Vrndavana to enjoy the pastime of Holi (festival of throwing colors), which is enacted either in the morning or evening. The skillful festival perfor­mance exactly matched the local customs. 

The devatas were very enthusi­astic to observe this celebration. Seeing the astonishing beauty of Krishna holding His flute, and wearing a fresh garland, glittering garments and ornaments, the gopis tied Him up in their hearts and sang His glories in charming voices. Krishna and Balarama, and their dear cowherd boyfriends performed this pastime amongst the splendid gopis of Vrndavana who are clever and skillful at playing Holi. 

The two brothers, however, out of respect for each other's moods of love, played separately with Their own groups of gopis whose minds relished the association of their respective lovers. Krishna and Balarama sang a special alapa in a raga with great devotion. Their artistic vocalizing of the appropriate notes and embellishments pro­duced waves of continuous joy. 

Under the influence of the Holi festival, the land of Vrndavana, having revived its strength after the long cold winter, looked beautiful and auspicious. To begin the festival, the young ladies of Vrndavana, who are adorned with all wonderful qualities, and whose bodies looked attractive smeared with natural ointments, shyly held water in their hands and offered it to the land of Vrndavana. 

The cowherd boys and their associates sang lovely songs in dvipadika and carcari tala. Their traditional Vraja bhasa songs sounded as pleasing as the smell of musk. The accompaniment karatalas and sweet mrdangas enhanced the charming vibration of their bangles and ankle-bells. 

Krishna and Balarama played in this way for a long time, and then wandered around in the lonely forests, pleasant with rows of young trees. The only signs of life in that deep forest were the maudlin cries of the peacocks piercing the evening sky. The rays of the moon filtering through the leaves of the trees painted the forest floor with beautiful colors. 

Illumined by the moon­light of spring, the splendid forest atmosphere easily aroused the sweet mellows of conjugal love. Haladhara (Balarama, the holder of the plow) looked extraordinarily elegant moving with His own group of young gopi consorts. One golden earring enticingly danced on Balarama's cheek and His eyes rolled from drinking varuni. With His dark blue caddar half falling off His camphor white chest, Baladeva looked like the white moon breaking through the darkness. For some time, Baladeva, who is a talented artist, danced to the beat of songs in carcass and dvipadika. 

Appearing like the personification of bliss, Balarama sang, laughed, and threw kunkuma powder on His be­loved gopis, as if sprinkling the sindura of love on their foreheads. Backed by the vina, Baladeva loudly sang a song in dvipadika. Then in a joking mood, He threw colored powders on the restless-eyed gopis. Balarama mixed with His many gopi group leaders and their companions in the same way that Krishna enjoys with His gopis like Radhika, Lalita, Candravali, Syama, and Bhadra. 

Krishna meanwhile defeated the gopis' long-standing pride of their sing­ing skill by playing sweetly but indistinctly on His flute. The gopis re­sponded by surrounding Krishna and dousing Him with kunkuma while their bangles jingled joyfully. While tolerating the showers of kunkuma, Hari hung His head down submissively like the best of youthful, intoxicated elephants, and continued playing His flute song in carcari tala. As Krishna playfully moved with heroic steps, He met with Balarama who rambled about like an intoxicated elephant along with His own group of enraptured young gopis. 

These gopis, who were completely attached to Balarama, gazed at Him with tender eyes, conveying their affection for their beloved consort. Lifting their bangle-laden arms, they sang accord­ing to the beat and sometimes induced Balarama to sing along. While their ankle-bells tinkled in time with the nimble movements of their feet, the gopis danced beside their beloved Balarama, and threw kunkuma pow­der on His body with great delight. 

Understanding the hints from Krishna's glances, the cowherd boys bom­barded the gopis with red, white and yellow scented powders. Balarama's gopis ran away fearfully. Seeing their condition, Krishna smiled and mocked them by playing merrily on His flute. Krishna's gopis laughed along in sweet tones. While clapping their hands with a strong beat and bellowing "Ho! Ho! Hee! Hee!" Krishna's friends filled the four directions with robust laugh­ter. 

His anger and passion enflamed, Rohininandana, roaring like a wild young bull elephant suddenly spurred to competition, chased Krishna's com­panions to defeat them with a deluge of powders. Glancing forwards and backwards like lions stalking prey, Krishna's girlfriends desired victory. But losing their intelligence, they could not decide whether to attack or to retreat, so they all ran away. 

When Krishna's gopa friends counter-attacked Baladeva, He laughed as He squeezed them in His strong, snake-like arms and covered them with colorful powders. In the pleasure of playing, Krishna's cowherd boyfriends lost all sense of awe for Baladeva, as they shouted at Him with contorted faces. Being very strong, they managed to get free from Baladeva's grip. 

Gathering in a group, they fearlessly retaliated with a volley of vermilion flower bombs. Though defeated, Baladeva remained fearless.Krishna, bathing everyone in the glow of His soft, sweet smile, said, "What you have done is not right. I do not like it. It is ungentlemanly to gang up on My brother who is all alone." Hearing this, all the boys calmed down. 

Moved by the emotions of comedy, pride and anger, Baladeva's com­plexion assumed a ruddy hue to appear like a diamond pillar embraced by red lotuses. The majestic form of Balarama shone like a huge crystal bud reflecting the red jaba flower, or like a proud pinnacle of ice touched by the pink of early dawn. Baladeva looked as elegant as a mountain of white lotuses covered by a forest of pink lotuses inhabited by cakravaka birds. He looked like a full moon anointed with vermilion, glowing in the red evening sunset. Seeing Him thus, Balarama's gopis surrounded Him and amused Him with blissful singing and dancing as they wandered off together. 

Meanwhile, Krishna's gopis, their hearts full of longing and drunk with the potion of love, enhanced the festive atmosphere with various amo­rous gestures indicating their conjugal desires. 

Conspiring together they planned a theft. The gopis said, "How can we steal that flute, which is like a snake scented with aguru, from Krishna's strong arms? What will Krishna do without His flute? Is it a good idea to put our beloved into depression? But when the flute is in Krishna's hand, it acts like a lance to cleverly pierce our hearts with its sweet, enchanting melody. Therefore, we must get that flute in our hands!" 

Smiling surreptitiously, the lotus-eyed gopis continued whispering among themselves, "We cannot take the flute in Krishna's presence. Nor does He ever put it down. Even in a state of confusion, He does not let go of it. Among these three possibilities, we must find some way to steal it. The third possibility, taking it out of Krishna's hand when He is bewildered, is the strongest." In order to bewilder Krishna, one expert gopi met Radhika in a lonely place and confided, "O fortunate Radha. 

If You really want to take Krishna's flute under Your control, then put on a show of obstinacy for some time. The impudence of Krishna's flute playing will flee, and the skill of our sing­ing will become prominent." After the gopis' secret talk, Krishna's close friend Kusumasava, though not knowing their complete plan, boldly spoke to Krishna. 

Combining shrewdness with the fragrance of the flowering creeper of frank talkative­ness, Kusumasava said, "O friend! Listen! Though the gopis are very learned, their singing cannot match Your ambrosial flute playing. So out of jealousy, they are planning to steal Your flute. To prevent this You should keep Your flute with me and sing in a loud voice. The gopis will not be able to approach me because of the power of my brahminical austeri­ties."

Krishna replied, "O friend! We have fully witnessed the great strength of the brahmanas in the pastimes of your spring festival. Without a doubt, it seems that today you will show us the festival of protecting the flute as well." Kusumasava said, "O friend! I cannot protect the flute as much as that person who has given You the ability to attract everyone by the special power of his mantra. But one cannot see such a person in this world. So what is the question of someone trying to take Your flute? Do not mis­trust a dear friend like me." 

Krishna said, "What will you do if the intensely frenzied gopis, due to being overpowered by bliss, just snatch the flute from your hand? How will you get it back?" Kusumasava replied, "You will see the power I have gained from pen­ance." Then taking the flute and tucking it under his arm, he said, "Please sing a song." In a voice conquering the sound of the vina, Krishna sang a song in carcari tala with great artistry. 

The Yamuna stopped flowing in her stunned con­dition, the trees rained tears, and the birds and animals trembled in ec­stasy. Hearing the song, the does felt bliss and licked up the drops of perspiration behind each other's ears. It seemed that the streams of sweet­ness from Krishna's song entered the ear holes of the deer and then oozed out due to finding insufficient space. 

The expertly composed raga pleased the ear due to its precise srutis, jatis, and seven notes. Kusumasava proudly boasted, "O how wonderful! My friend, I have never heard such strong singing in the carcari tala in all my years! 

O arrogant gopisl You cannot sing songs with alapa that give such happiness." Sangita Vidya, a learned gopi musician, said, "O unintelligent one! If Lalita, who is wearing a gorgeous silk sari, can sing better than Krishna, then crooked-minded fellow you will lose the flute. Let the flute be the wager." Kusumasava said, "O learned one! Only I know the science of music! It is difficult for an ordinary person to know, even if engaged in constant meditation on the subject. According to my final judgement, I will pro­claim the winner at the appropriate time. This will please the devatas and be agreeable to all." 

Sangita Vidya, said, "O learned brahmana boy! This is not simply chanting the Vedas, which satisfies the Vedic scholars. Who are you to judge this?" While smiling, Krishna continued singing and hinted with a glance. Un­derstanding His intentions, Kusumasava said, "O vain woman! If you do not agree that my knowledge of music is sufficient for judging, then we should agree that the singing of both parties is equal. Let us see if your singing, like Krishna's, can stun the Yamuna water, bring tears to the trees and creepers, and make the birds and animals tremble in ecstasy. I am certain that no one can sing as zestfully as my friend. Therefore we will wager the flute! If you want to gamble over the singing, then to be fair, you must offer Radha as a wager from your side." 

Lalita said, "O stupid boy! A fool makes the whole world insipid! In all gambling matches, the stakes must be of equal value. We can never equate glass with gold!" Kusumasava responded, "O worshipable one! Do you think that my dear friend's flute is like glass, and that your friend is like gold?" Lalita answered, "Is there any doubt? If you want equal stakes, then without fear you should wager your friend." 

Kusumasava said, "All right then, begin singing. Since I am totally pure in heart, I will wager my friend." Then Lalita, her throat reddened and her eyebrows dancing, gave up all shyness to sing a gentle kedara raga with boldness and enthusiasm. Lalita clearly enunciated a variety of gamakas (trills) spanning from lower to higher octaves, ascending and descending. 

Using the full grandeur of the gandharva scale, Lalita easily surpassed the expertise of the Gandharvas and vanquished their pride. After feelingly singing the alapa (without tala) in kedara raga, Lalita sang a song in a pleasing tempo according to the conventions of musical taste in the maharastrian dialect. 

Lalita sang, "The brightly shining moon of Syama, the nectarean disc endowed with all arts, is expert at giving bliss to the lotuses, and in agitat­ing the ocean of prema. Krishna, the beloved of Vrndavana who wears a crown of mango buds while fondly sporting in the spring, is partial to His girlfriends." With great pride, Kusumasava held his arms above his head and pranced about while blurting out, "Hee! Hee! You are defeated! 

O, Lalita has been defeated!" Unseen, Krishna's flute slipped from Kusumasava's arm­pit and fell on the ground. Without anyone in the universe knowing, Sangita Vidya quickly snatched it up and hid it. Overwhelmed with vanity, she did not even tell her friends about it. She spoke to talkative Kusumasava, "Listen, Why are you so happy over something that never happened? You are prancing around like a mad­man. Your friend with the fickle ankle-bells should consider who is the actual winner!" 

Kusumasava replied to Sangita Vidya, "O one respected by the learned! According to me, your defeat is evident, for the wager was laid for singing in carcari tala. Lalita sang only one little fragment in dvipadika tala. O one with a happy face! Please consider, has she been defeated or not?" Hearing this, Lalita and Sangita Vidya broke out in laughter. Sangita Vidya said, "O uncouth one! What is remarkable about carcari, dvipadi or jambhalil. The attraction is in the use of murchana, svara and grama. 

Lalita's song displayed the epitome of sweetness. Indeed, just see! The jewel basins under the trees have melted into water due to the strong currents of her song. By its nature this water has spread out around the bases of the trees and solidified as sitting platforms. "It is true that from your friend's song the Yamuna looks divine, the trees of Vrndavana become conscious, and the birds and animals seem fully alive. 

But by our friend's song, they have all become petrified like hard rock. Therefore we have won. Bring your friend and hand Him over to us!" Subala-sakha said, "O Sangita Vidya! How is it that you have become covered with foolishness like an ignorant person? With such intelligence can you understand music? 

Did it not occur to you that it is impossible for this boy to wager Krishna and give Him away? It is an accepted rule that a person can wager only one who is His dependent. No one can wager and give away the Lord." 

Krishna said, "Kusumasava! Now you cannot command the respect of others! You have been defeated by these girls, who are proud of their victory and mad with the intoxication of the festival. You will fall into an inescapable condition. Therefore you'd better give the flute. Other­wise, My flute will go along with you anyway." Kusumasava said, "O friend! But I have won! Showing Your strength, You should snatch away their dear companion." 

Lalita said, "Unabashed you are! Hard working ass! Dullard! We have wagered on the song I sang and the song proclaims my victory." Kusumasava said, "Friend! Greedy woman! If you speak in such an ar­rogant way, then take the flute which I have hid." Saying this, He looked for the flute but could not find it. "O friend! Out of fear, the flute has run away from my arm pit to some safe garden with unbroken creepers." When he said this everyone broke out smiling.

India's Hindu Temples Facing Cash Shortage

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/over-1-200-hindu-temples-122520635.html

PADA: That means ISKCON temples in India (and maybe worldwide) are also facing a similar cash crunch. Of course the ISKCON temples really don't have legacy gold stashed away to maintain them now as a reserve fund. It will be interesting to see if the millionaire jet set guru program in ISKCON will start to fund their actual temples with their ill gotten gains. 

In any case, its sad that many of these legacy temples have to get into so much trouble now after operating for sometimes thousands of years. The only good news is, we are glad the ISKCON program is being de-funded. They might use their funds to get their goondas to ban, beat, sue and assassinate us, that means less funding for them is good for us. 

In early March ISKCON's Jayapataka was STILL saying he wanted to spend more and more millions of dollars to sue Bangalore, but notice he has not said anything about that recently? Funds have dried up? Yep, its a sad day when Jayapataka and the ISKCON GBC can no longer buy new Mercedes for their lawyers! Boo hoo! I am crying already, you mean -- the new Mercedes for the lawyers program is breaking down? Hee hee. ys pd

SP Radhastami Lecture (Video)

RADHASTAMI 

Mercy of Srimati Radharani

Srimati Radharani is the ideal maha-bhagvat. As the greatest devotee, She is also the most compassionate. She is unable to bear the suffering of the souls trapped in the material world. The word "aradhaya" (prayers) is derived from "Radha" and means "worshippable". Similarly the word "aparadha" (offenses) means "against Radha". When one performs devotional service, one is pleasing Srimati Radharani and when commits Vaishnava aparadha against Krishna or His devotees, one is offending Radharani. 

Srimati Radharani is the guardian, the mentor and the benefactor of all aspiring devotees. When a soul starts to inquire about Krishna, Srimati Radharani is most pleased and takes charge of his devotional advancements. As one makes progress, one continues to invoke the mercy of Srimati Radharani and when She is pleased, Krishna is automatically pleased.



Srila Prabhupada says, on Radhastami, "From this word aradhyate, Radha has come."............

Prabhupada: This love of Krsna for Radharani is often compared to a blooming lotus; the only difference is that Krsna's love remains ever-increasingly beautiful.

>>> Ref. VedaBase => NoD 44: Devotional Service in Conjugal Love
Prabhupada: Don't take that Radharani is an ordinary woman, like we have our wife or sister or mother. No. She is the pleasure potency. And the birth of Radharani was not from the womb of any human being. 

She was found by Her father in the field. While father was plowing, he saw one little nice child is lying there, and he had no children, so he caught it and presented to the queen, "Oh, here we have got a very nice child." "How you got?" "Oh, in the field." Just see. Radharani's janma is like that. So this janma is today, and Radha, this name is sometimes not found in Bhagavata. So the atheistic class of men protest that "Radharani's name is not in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. 

How this name came, Radharani?" But they do not know how to see it. There is anayaradhyate. There are many gopis, but there is mention that by this particular gopi He is served more pleasingly. Krsna accepts this gopi's service more gladly. Anayaradhyate. Aradhyate. This aradhate, this word, aradhyate means worshiping. From this word aradhyate, Radha has come. But Radha's name are there in other Puranas. So this is the origin.

Jerry Falwell Jr. Scandal (NY Post)

https://nypost.com/2020/08/24/jerry-falwell-jr-allegedly-caught-on-tape-warning-pool-boy-not-to-make-wife-jealous/

Multiple reports say Jerry Falwell Jr. is leaving Liberty University; Falwell says he is not.

[PADA: OK, its a problem in all religions -- that the conditioned soul so-called leaders / preachers/ priests / gurus (or their wives) are sometimes found in some sexual escapade scandals. 

The difference is, most religions do not claim that its the guru / messiah / saint from heaven who is the one having problems -- unlike the ISKCON GBC who says its the parampara gurus / messiahs from God who are falling down left, right and center. A woman from Croatia said ISKCON is the only religion in the world that replaces its acharya with mlecchas.  

Anyway! 

In this case Jerry Falwell Jr. is alleged to have known about his wife's problems but he covered it up "to save the church." Then he made a sort of suggestive photo of himself with a lady -- and got into separate trouble with that. 

Then there were alleged other photos that were "taken care of" by a lawyer, and so on and so forth. Now the apparent problem is, the University wants him to go, but he says ... he is not going? Or what did he really say? Looks like its hard to tell?

Same kind of problem in ISKCON. OK you are the guru, but you are creating a big controversy scandal. Can you just resign now and get away from us? Well nope, I am maybe resigning, but maybe not. 

Attached to the post? Or what keeps them from just making a clean break, to actually save the religion? And this process has apparently been going on for years in this case, so it was known there is a problem for quite awhile, at least if these reports are correct.  

Anyway its sad that religion has become so corrupted in Kali Yuga. Many young people are turning to atheism because of all the hypocrisy / cynicism / conflict / misrepresenting / corruption in religion, its not helping things at all when the leaders are mis-representing God and God's religion.

OK that is why false preachers / priests / gurus go to the lower planets, they are giving Krishna a black eye. If religion is a business, then doing it for personal gain is the worst form of business in existence. There will be hell to pay if we take advantage of people's religious sentiments. 

Of course, we were ALL born into Kali Yuga because we were ALL not behaving like little angels ourselves, so we have to take credit for being in the midst of all this due to our own misdeeds. Anyway, good luck, lets hope they sort this out and find some actually solid managers to fix all this.

Bhakti Vikas Swami On Solving ISKCON's Problems (Video)

https://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2020/08/bhakti-vikas-swami-evades-iskcons-child.html

What happens if --

Bhakti Vikas Swami's Molester Messiah's Program: 

IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM in ISKCON? 

PADA: As usual, Bhakti Vikas Swami (BVKS) avoids discussing the real root problems of ISKCON. For example, BVKS says we should increase book distribution. Fine.

How can that be done when thousands and thousands of the book distributors have been driven out, exiled and removed from ISKCON by the BVKS regime? And the same thing can be said for their removing many / most of the "harinama samkirtana" and bhajan type devotees. After 1978 the BVKS regime nearly disappeared the public harinama process from the streets of the USA -- so much so -- even ordinary people on the street asked "where did the Hare Krishnas disappear to"?

Did I forget to mention, various devotees are writing to PADA to say that the current world wide VIRUS crisis PROBLEM and all sorts of other malefic calamities all over the world are the DIRECT result of the BVKS's program's -- attacking, contaminating, giving a bad name to, slowing, if not nearly stopping the Lord's Harinama Samkirtana Movement, a direct gift from GOD? Chanting the names of God could save the world, thus slowing and blocking that process will self-evidently -- destroy the world. 

PADA pretty much agrees with that assessment.  

Buddhi manta das was a personal friend of mine and he was one of the biggest book distributors in the world. And he said he can no longer give out books -- because he does not want to attract people to come to ISKCON -- only to worship a drunken fool like Hansadutta -- who was constantly chugging Peppermint Schnapps, among many other intoxicants while acting like a clown. He said he has lost -- all enthusiasm -- to distribute ANY books. 

Thus! Under the the BVKS regime, book distributors were banned, exiled, or just discouraged to the point -- they gave up. BVKS does not seem to address this point? More importantly, he never identifies that he and his GBC pals are the prime culprits who destroyed the book distribution and public harinama program? This "problem" just manifested out of thin air, and was caused by no one? 

So the BVKS program attacked the book distribution system, and it was largely replaced with devotees distributing bogus items like -- rock and roll records, oil paintings, trinkets, candles, jewelry etc. And ISKCON was then sued in 1980 in Syracuse Federal court for all these "fraudulent collecting techniques." ISKCON was then fined by the courts, and the terrible news story was in all the mass media news, giving Hare Krishnas a bad name. 

Unfortunately, all this was going on under the umbrella of BVKS's "bona fide gurus." BVKS was not helping us protest all these deviations. Instead he was taking shelter of the founder father leaders of this deviant regime -- like Jayapataka swami.

Then we have had another major "problem" issue -- changing the books. Many people don't want to distribute the Jayadvaita hatchet job books. As usual, that topic also is not really mentioned by BVKS. 

How can people be enthused to distribute ISKCON's books, when they do not believe the current ISKCON books are authorized? And moreover, there are a number of devotees -- including ex-book distributors -- who tell me all the Jayadvaita books need to be burned and removed from the planet? That is how much enthusiasm there is for some folks over these changed books.

And worse, some of the people who want original books are banned, exiled and removed -- for even possessing original books? 

And worse, one of our associates committed suicide after he was banned for carrying original books at an ISKCON center. 

And worse people like UK's Bhaja Hari had to arrange a totally separate book distribution system from ISKCON, because ISKCON would not allow the distribution of originals. And worse, Bhaja Hari was banned from ISKCON for complaining about the lack of original books. 

So how can we "unite the devotees" when all of this shunning, banning, beating, exiling, harassing, suing, vilification, if not death threats, is going on left, right and center -- in the midst of a changed books imbroglio? And the BVKS / GBC program folks are the prime culprits for orchestrating all this? 

So all of these "problems" have been self-created by the BVKS guru leadership process. His own program created all these deviated programs with devastating results. 

Did we forget to mention, BVKS has been telling people like Jayapataka to absorb the sins of thousands of people, which is causing JPS to suffer badly from the reactions of doing that? And now BVKS is flat on his back, suffering as well, and this might be connected to his own absorbing sins without authority?

Anyway, its good that BVKS is asking how to solve the problems of ISKCON. However, if he wants to know -- where and / or from whom -- these problems are coming from, all he has to do it look in a mirror, and he will find one of the prime culprits in creating all these problems. 

Did we forget to mention, neophytes who absorb sins as diksha gurus will have to suffer most likely now, and continue to suffer in the next life? Why would BVKS want his own brothers to suffer in this life and the next, by telling them to take karma from thousands of people? So he is causing them to suffer, get sick, fall down, and die, by telling them to take karma. OK he is the promoter of the cause of these problems, lets identify these folks as the rotten root's creators, sustainers, apologists and participants. ys pd
