Reading Srila Prabhupada's Books (ISKCON Education)

PADA: Reading Srila Prabhupada's books is connecting a person to Srila Prabhupada. That sounds good. Unfortunately, one of these brand new readers was just ejected from an ISKCON temple because he asked -- why are these books being re-written and edited? So there seems to be first of all, no explanation for why that needs to be done. So it looks like a fresh reason has been concocted to start banning another wave of people from ISKCON. 

Next, other devotees are reading the books -- where they discover that it is an extreme offense (one of the ten offenses) to consider that gurus are conditioned souls who fail. Yet, the ISKCON leaders are CONSTANTLY preaching that it is quite common for gurus to fall down, and indeed they admit their gurus are falling into "illicit sex with men, women and children" (and drugs, and porno, and alcohol, and gambling in Reno, and watching football on TV and etc. etc. etc.). And this is -- what the books are saying happens to gurus in our parampara? Where? 

Worse, this idea is being preached to little children. 

My legal adviser friend says, teaching little children that God's successors are often illicit sex deviants sounds like illegal fraud and is moreover likely illegal "corrupting the morals of minors." Why would we tell little children that God's successors are often illicit sex debauchees? 

And where in Srila Prabhupada's books do we find that it is common for God's successors to be: child molesters, criminals, homosexuals, pedophiles, alcoholics, people who eat chicken salads, people who watch porno, people who orchestrate murders, and people who change the books of the acharyas -- ad infinitum. 

Where is any of this idea, that acharyas are often such types of deviants, stated in ANY of the books? Meanwhile a devotee claiming to be a student from the "ISKCON Disciples Course" wrote to chastise me for challenging the GBC's position, and he sent me part of the course where they are teaching that their GBC guru might fall down, and you will then have to then take another GBC guru. 

So I asked, how can we reject a guru, then accept as our next guru -- the same guru that our fallen guru just voted in? We reject the first wave, but we accept the second wave, voted in by the deviants in the first wave? The bogus first wave will certify a bona fide second wave? 

Of course Bhakti Vikas swami, Jayadvaita, Prithu, Gaura Govinda Maharaja et al. types are "voted in as guru" by the same GBC that reinstates "sex with tax drivers in the holy dham" as their guru. So the "books are the basis" idea is good in theory, and we need to validate shastra with, guru and sadhu, but it seems as soon as almost anyone does that -- they are banned from ISKCON? Like we were?

So if anyone who reads the books is banned, what kind of society is that? And one of the devotees who was banned for carrying original books, committed suicide. What kind of policy is creating that reaction? So, the GBC says that it is common that KRISHNA'S SUCCESSORS and acharyas will fall into illicit sex, and worse, illicit sex with men, women and children, and this is what they allege is -- the teachings of Krishna? "Reading the books" would place a person immediately outside the purview of modern day ISKCON, which is what many of the readers write to report to us?

OK! Where does Krishna teach this idea that his guru parampara is chocker block with deviants, or the people voted in by said deviants? They never tell us. For their teaching little children that God's successors are perhaps pedophiles, drunks, drug addicts, porno addicts, sexual predators of every description and so on, is a crime against children, a crime against God, and a crime against all humanity, because it misleads others. And the punishment for misleading others in the name of religion is found in the books, such persons are tossed into the darkest regions of the universe where they have to be kept for millions of yugas, so they will not be able to cause trouble again for quite a long time. 

In sum, read the books. When are they going to start to do that?
