The Leaders of ISKCON India are Shocked and Offended

India ICC Statement:
"Whereas, the leaders of ISKCON India are shocked and offended that the ISKCONnews.org website ran an article that endorses the book, “Destroyer of Sorrow” (the final book in the “Sita’s Fire Triology”) written by Vrinda Sheth,
"Whereas, the concepts mentioned in the article contradict the concept that vedic shastras are divine and therefore free from human defects,
"Whereas, we recognize that anyone and everyone has a right to propagate their own ideas, but if they contradict the teachings of shastras and acharyas, it should not be endorsed by official ISKCON,
"Therefore we, the ICC, call upon the GBC to instruct the editors of the ISKCONnews.org website to remove the article from it’s site.
"Further, ISKCON India will undertake a review of the book and publish it’s findings. The ICC directs ISKCON India temples not to display or sell the book at least until the review is complete.
[PADA: Wow, ISKCON India folks are waking up. Oooops. Sort of. They are issuing all sorts of proclamations these days about how bogus the rest of ISKCON is. Great. Except, aren't the ICC Board members the self same people who are helping Radhanath in burying pedophiles in samadhis in the dham?
We need to have pedophiles and porno swamis buried next to India's saints, and in the dham no less, and in samadhi? What exactly are "pedophiles in samadhi" according to the ICC folks anyway? We also have "porno swami samadhi," which we always find -- in Vedic shastra? Where is the ICC complaint about -- themselves?
Meanwhile PADA friends actually living in the dham are shocked and offended at -- the ICC Board -- every time they walk past their pedophile and porno swami samadhis. So the acharyas are free from defects, therefore we have a pile of them "engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children," or drinking Vodka, or watching pornos, or claiming that we need to go to Narayan Maharaja, and so on and so forth.
So we should not mis-represent the idea that acharyas are full of mundane defects, except, when they are -- engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children, which is evidently -- not defective? Or what?
Sorry, you guys are making more questions than answers here. ys pd]
LW: The fight is on? Is it going to be the pro-pedophile samadhi party? Also pro-pedophile Lokanath guru party vs the bogus Mother Sita book party? Which side should I take? Maybe I should flip a coin?
ReplyDeleteNo wait! I don't think I should support either party. This is really getting to be a VERY foolish situation. The pro-pedophile party vs the bogus Sita book party ... will have no winner. It is just like Prabhupada says ... we might have wet stools or dry stools ... why bother to argue? Neither is good.
It is obvious ... none of these people ever thought through ... what would be the "end result" of promoting all these bogus things. They just made some bogus ideas ... knowing it was only very short term. And ran with it ... hoping no one would ever figure out there is a major problem.
Wow. Now the chickens are coming home to roost? Houston! There is a problem. In fact ... so many problems ... no one can count. How can they undo all this mess they made?
So many people were kicked out ... and severely abused. And many are dead. And now there are pedophiles in samadhis. And changed books. And bad public image. How could they possibly put their genie back into the bottle? So now they are fighting among themselves ... who is more holy than thou? Neither is holy. It is the thieves arguing about the stolen bread. It is all bad. It is collapsing under its own weight ... the weight of countless offense. That is good ... that the reign of terror is caving in ... but also bad and sad. They burnt down their guru's house. For what? Five minutes of stolen glory?
