Dear Devotees,
We have just learned about the difficult financial situation of our dear Isvara Prabhu, Mataji Teja Gourangi, and their two children. For one whole year, they are surviving without any income, since Isvara Prabhu has lost his job as a cook in one vegetarian restaurant in Austria. Due to Coronavirus, this possibility is now completely lost since they are living in Serbia. If we count his years of devotional service -- he should be one step to retirement, but unfortunately, that is not how things are functioning in our movement yet.
[PADA: Yep, the GBC ONLY has a nice retirement program for their upper crust elites, but not the peons. Or barely anything. And they have had since 1977 to make something for the weak and fragile elders by now.]
He gave his youth and life in book distribution, in running the centers in two cities in Serbia, in hosting and serving devotees, in cooking seva at Summer camps and for festivals, in traveling around in preaching mission and in cooking and personally serving HH Jayapataka Maharaja.
[PADA: Yep, and another ISKCON devotee woman (Mahavegati dasi) just recently passed away and it was the same thing, she was not being cared for. And she was petrified of being put into an old folks home. She told me she would just jump off a bridge, but she is not brave enough to do so.
In the end I believe she was put in some sort of old folks home, because she told me that is where she was headed. Again, no help for the peons. And this is putting the peons in a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety, which is the symptom of a demoniac society, and demoniac rulers of said society.
She got roped into the Bhakti Tirtha swami program in Africa, with all sorts of disasterous consequences. Including, that her best friend was hacked to death when Bhakti Tirtha swami sent them into a known civil war zone. Mahavegati claims that is because Bhakti Tirtha had wrote love letters to that woman, and she was threatening to expose him if he would not marry her. The usual stuff, in bogus guru cults. Need we forget to mention that Bhakti Tirtha swami is still glorified all over ISKCON as some sort of saint?]
He also made the first (and only) chariot for the Lord Jagannatha and has organized many Ratha Yatras in Serbia. In recent times he is a responsible husband and father. They depend on their garden with vegetables and modest donations from Teja Gaurangis's mom.
Even in the Winter, they cannot afford to pay heating bills, so Isvara Prabhu has to bring some wood from the local forest. Unfortunately, he is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Every morning the pain in his hands is so strong that it looks that he will not make it through the day.
Only after few hours after struggling in the garden, the pain becomes tolerable.
This is one of those important opportunities when we can all sacrifice some of our money to help dear devotees who are in trouble. For us, this is the shortcut for getting Krishna's favor since He is especially weak about His devotees.

[PADA: Real question is, how many other victims are there like this one? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? No one even knows for sure because they do not even keep track of all their victims. At least we at PADA are keeping track of a few. Ooops, I almost forgot to mention, Lord Yamaraja is keeping very exact track of all their victims, and he knows the exact amount more than we ever will. It is a lot, that much we do know.]
=================
PADA: "Three things are said to be unbearable: the glaring eyes of the rishi, the glaring eyes of the serpent, and the glaring eyes of the weak. Weakness is more powerful than even the greatest power, for that power which is scorched by weakness is absolutely rooted out. If a weak or helpless person is humiliated or struck down and, while crying for help, fails to find a protector, divine punishment overtakes the ruler of that person and brings about his fall."
- Mahabharata Shanti Parva

Drage bhakte,
Nedavno smo saznali za tešku finansijsku situaciju u kojoj se nalaze naši dragi Ivešvara Prabhu i Teja Gaurangi sa dvoje dece. Naime već godinu dana žive bez ikakvih primanja, nakon što je Ivešvara prabhu ostao bez posla. Već dosta godina je kuvao prasadam u jednom restoranu u Austriji, a sada je zbog korone, sa tim sasvim gotovo. Po godinama i radnom stažu u svesnosti Krišne on je na korak do penzionisanja, ali na žalost takve stvari nisu regulisane u Međunarodnom društvu za svesnost Krišne. Svoju mladost i zrelu dob proveo je deleći knjige (mnooogo knjiga) Šrila Prabhupada, vodeći ISKCON centre u Somboru i Subotici, kuvajući i ugošćavajuči bhakte, bio je pokretač prve Ratha Yatre i izgradnje kočije, velikodušni kuvar na brojnim kampovima, putujući propovednik kao i lični sluga i kuvar HH Jayapataka Maharaja. U poslednje vreme predan otac i suprug. Jedino što sada imaju jeste bašta koju obrađuju i skromna pomoć Tejine majke. Čak i grejanje zavisi od dovlačenja drva iz šume. Na žalost Ivešvara Prabhu ima i zdravstvene probleme. U pitanju je početni stadijum reumatidnog artritisa. Svako jutro se bori sa jakim bolovima u ruci i deluje kao da neće moći taj dan da funkcioniše. Posle nekoliko sati bolnog rada u bašti ili sakupljanja drva, probije se prag bola i nekako se izgura taj dan.
Ovo su one dragocene situacije kada možemo zadovoljiti Krišnu na poseban način tako što ćemo pomoći njegovim bhaktama u nevolji. Takva služba je velika prilika za sve nas.

PADA: Mahavegavati said Bhakti Tirtha swami had raped Hladini, so he had to get rid of her to silence her. In any case, both of these nice devotee ladies are now dead because they were not properly protected. They did not protect the women, children, cows etc. and they kicked out most of the brahmanas. And many of these devotees ended up in dire and destitute situations.
ReplyDeleteI even have one severe critic out there who writes badly about PADA, but he confided in secret to someone that in reality he hates the GBC guru process -- but he has to work with them "because he has nowhere else to go." So they are sort of using economic levers to control people.
Now they are not even protecting their own elder clan members. So this was always a big asset grabbing process all along, a few of our GBC elites will live like jet set Saudi Princes, the rest of you peons have to struggle with little or nothing. And this is causing immense suffering, and even death, to their citizens.
So when people tell me I am making too harsh criticism, they have to look at how demons are described in the Vedas; they do not protect their women, children, brahmanas, cows, or their elder citizens. I am not making this up, we have to see for ourselves what they are doing to the citizens and to the devotees -- and understand -- this is also what the demons do to their citizens, and the devotees.
I could not make this up if I wanted to. Many karmis also see these GBC people are crooked rascals, and thus the devotees as a class need to start to wake up more and more -- and resist their regime. ys pd
GKD: RE Neglected Servant of Jayapataka Financial Troubles
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, he is a servant of JPS, his family lives in Zagreb (Serbia) and he has to work in Vienna, Austria, 500 km away in the next country, to maintain his family. Austria is of course a place that was completely burned to the ground by the GBC gurus but they do nothing about it. Just send devotees from poor countries like Serbia to work for them like sudras.
And when that pizza restaurant says, "no vacancy, go away" his whole family is in a precarious condition of emergency. So all this is explained by Srila Prabhupada, the doggish platform of material existence. It would have been easy with a little investment to start an ISKCON restaurant in Vienna and be independent. So this shows once more that the GBC has zero interest in preaching and opening new temples in the West.
Prabhupada: "A dog, without a master, he cannot live. His life is very precarious. So at the present moment, however one qualified may be, unless he gets a good job, he's just like a dog, a street dog. He may be very highly qualified, technologically, but if he does not get a job, then he's useless. He'll go. "Sir, can you give me any job?" "No vacancies." A dog like. Just like dog goes, moves the tail, "Can you give me some food." Somebody gives him, "Eh! Hut!" This is the position."
[PADA: Yes, they exploit people, and when those people get sick or older, they toss them aside and seek a new wave of victims. Very asura-like process. The just make sure that the resources for themselves do not dry up.
"Taking care of numero uno, me." This poor guy was just caught up in their system without realizing, until it was too late. ys pd]
