PADA: Jayapataka is suing a Russian devotee in Russian court. Wow, getting desperate. Their number one cash cow in Mayapur is evidently -- to have Russian devotees come there for their so-called "Bhakti Vriksha Classes." OK they train poor uninformed Russian people that Krishna's guru successors are often abominable debauchees. And the students there have to pay for housing, food, and classes etc. Big income for them. So this guy comes out and says they are crooks, and that is bad for business.
Several persons claiming to be a Bhakti Vriksha students over there were arguing with PADA -- that gurus in our parampara are falling down left, right and center. And moreover that is our "tradition." One of them was even saying that ex-swami (now married) Prabhavishnu is still a member of the parampara, because the parampara has these failings from time to time. Oh no!
So they are once again using their typical bully boy techniques to defend their worship of illicit sex with men, women and children "guru parampara." Lets get some of our Prabhupadanugas people into the courts over there to explain the real situation, these guys really are CROOKS! ys pd

GKD: RE Jayapataka sues Russian Devotee (Russia News)
ReplyDeletePrabhupada knew that his handpicked GBCs had leading qualities and the ability to address large crowds but he also knew that they were de facto a bunch of crooks waiting to turn ISKCON into a global business. He got himself into a predicament because the highest priority was to have leaders, "Without a leader, we cannot organize anything." He also felt blatantly blackmailed by his leaders because although he gave them high positions — if they felt not treated properly they would just walk out the door and leave for good. What caused quite some chaos among the congregation. So in the end, Prabhupada was standing with his back to the wall on how to enable the continuation of his movement when he is not there anymore. Of course, he didn't figure that it could go so far that these leaders would throw out all his devotees in order to grab the properties for themselves. Otherwise, he would have immediately switched the whole management back to elected leaders. The way he wanted it at the beginning. (see, DOM, Direction of Management, 1970).
[PADA: Yes, it was a no win situation. He needed people to do service, but they were not very qualified and they had a lot of personal motivation and etc. At the same time the rank and file should have acted when the GBC announced that acharyas are often debauchees, they also failed to act. ys pd]
