**** Dasi: Karnamrita Das left his body last night. I had such strong affection for him. Even though we only met in person once, we kept in communication and wrote to each other quite frequently. Death & Grief are a big part of my Bhakti journey and he understood that, encouraged me constantly. My biggest regret was not making time to see him last year when I was in Vrndavana. I was hoping to make up for it next month when I went to Arizona… I will miss you, Prabhu, and I pray for your family during this time. Hare Krishna.

[PADA: It is too bad that a lot of these "senior devotees" sort of went along to get along with the GBC's guru process, at least evidently, and to a lot of internal and external observers. Some of them were members of various ISKCON householder / Grihastha commissions and committees, which were subordinated to the GBC guru process. 

As householders with children, you'd think the first thing we would NOT EVER want to teach our ISKCON children is -- that a chain of "God's guru successors" contains: illicit sex with men, women and children; drunks; pedophiles; sexual predators; porno swamis; drug addicts; orchestrators of murders -- and so on and so forth. Which is why a number of ex-gurukuli students tell PADA, no one was really trying to defend and help us, as we were being brutalized. They just did not give a sh*t about their own children in their own religion. 

And PADA is the bad guy -- for being their advocate. The priority is?, to start a bunch of feel good "personal growth" programs about how we need to essentially cooperate with the GBC's guru process, ok at least evidently. That is why some newer devotee from an Island nation -- where there are a lot of Hindus -- just wrote to ask me, "why were you the main guy raising the issues, and most others were silent"? It is the question we get all the time.

Anyway, Karnamrita was "a nice guy" which is good, perhaps. However Sulochana said -- the ISKCON goody two shoes "nice guys" like Mukunda swami are -- the velvet glove that covers the iron fist. One false move and ka-blam, you are dead. Seems Sulochana was onto something there -- because as a matter of fact, ka-blam and he was dead. 

Karnamrita was another one of the many ISKCON people who got terminal cancer. We believe this is all connected to being part of the whole contaminated process going on in ISKCON of acquiescing with the evil doers.

In any event! PADA holds no grudges against the people who acquiesced with the evil doers, because they have made their own bed, and they will have to rest in it by answering to the higher authority. False gurus go to the lowest regions, and according to shastra, so do their enablers / goody two shoes advocates / cheer leaders / cover ups / bogus committee leaders etc. 

To sum, you sir are now on another journey to another destination. We wish you well in any event. Thus! God speed spirit soul! And good luck! ys pd]
