(I will include a quote from Srila Prabhupada on GBC with each takeaway).

———
“GBC men should not dictate very much, simply supervise and see that the standards are maintained.”

(Srila Prabhupada Letter, February 14th, 1972)./

DDD: A lot of people would see you’ve got all the powers, you’ve got all the reins, so whatever is happening with the society is down to you (the GBC). You’ve got the ability to drive it, you’ve got the ability to make things happen. I was just wondering if that is the practical experience or not?

PD: The conundrum from my perspective is he, (Srila Prabhupada ) used this phrase, or not just used it, it’s the first item in his Will, that the GBC is the Ultimate Managing Authority of Iskcon, of the Hare Krishna movement. But then, and there’s so many references, where Srila Prabhupada talks about a GBC can’t impose his opinion, or his views, or his authority for instance on the Temple President, as an example.

In one sense we’ve seen, and everybody does see I think that knows Iskcon reasonably well, does see the GBC as being in charge,... but actually they have very little power. It’s really a facilitating role. Trying to work with devotees, “yes, these are the standards we are meant to follow. This is the vision that Srila Prabhupada had, let’s all work together towards it.” 

But once you have somebody who chooses not to do that for whatever the reason may be, it’s not that the GBC can just issue a dictum and everything changes, it’s really not like that.

[PADA: OK so the ISKCON GBC votes in and then promotes pedophiles as their acharyas, and anyone who disagrees is viciously banned, if not beaten, sued -- or in some cases  -- assassinated. And all this is going on because the ISKCON leaders of UK are simply "facilitating" the worship of pedophiles as ISKCON's messiahs. 

We are only "facilitating" the worship of illicit sex with men, women and children messiahs, which is not actually the cause of this process. What? No, the people who orchestrate and facilitate meat packing plants -- are the efficient cause of the meat packing plants. 

Where does Krishna say we have to facilitate worship of illicit sex with men, women and children messiahs -- by ISKCON, or a GBC orchestrated process and / or dictums? As soon as I said Jayatirtha is a pedophile according to Srila Prabhupada's standards, I was booted out of ISKCON UK by GBC's dictums. Meanwhile Jayatirtha was being promoted as another Jesus who can absorb sins, but his head was chopped off later on because he was too sinful himself. 

The GBC wanted the children of ISKCON to worship the UK pedophile and other pedophiles as their messiahs, and they still do have pedophile messiahs now. And then Jayatirtha said to me "watch your back" (we might have you attacked or killed). So it is a violent pedophile worshiping cult, being either facilitated, or orchestrated, or what have you, this is all word salad that has no meaning to the victims.]  

Being the ultimate, of course ultimate as well can be misunderstood, not misunderstood, but people have different understandings of what that word means. But I think in the context of the reality of the GBC role, it doesn’t mean absolute, it means “has the last say” if you like. 

[PADA: Anyone who is orchestrating banning, beating, molesting, suing and assassinating others does have "the last say" -- direct or de facto. Hardly anyone can fight off such an odious cult process on their own effectively. Fortunately we have had "back up" from the police, FBI, media and courts -- otherwise we would not have been able to challenge them on our own ourselves. 

The ISKCON leaders have orchestrated a very violent pedophile worshiping cult, and they have had "the last say" on all matters related to this cult -- because they made the ENTIRE process the whole time with countless statements, decrees, lectures, position papers, edicts etc.]

But it certainly doesn’t mean absolute, and absolute power, and authority, that really doesn’t exist. Iskcon’s incorporated in many jurisdictions across the globe, and it’s the incorporation of Iskcon and the devotees, or the offices that have that legal authority to run that organisation, they’re the ones that actually have, quote-unquote, the power.

[PADA: Every single ISKCON temple has supported the worship of illicit sex with men, women and children messiahs / guru parampara as far as we know. If there are exceptions, we know of none. And dissenting people are often banned, removed, sued and threatened -- all over the planet -- as soon as they object to the GBC's anal reconstructive surgery epidemic for children guru worship process. We have to worship the orchestrators of their pedophile messiahs / anal sex epidemic program, or face severe repercussions -- including beatings, violence, lawsuits, death threats etc. The GBC has always had the power to either orchestrate this process, or not.] 

It’s not a GBC who just internally has the role of being the ultimate managing authority. They have that authority based on Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. But based on other aspects; legal, other kind of, um, yeah, other aspects, they don’t have that, they don’t have that.

[PADA: So people are being systematically banned, beaten, molested, sued and maybe assassinated by -- accident? How can all this be going on and the GBC has no power to change it, when the GBC are the orchestrators of these policies?]

It is a constant challenge actually. Obviously from some perspective you think, and certainly in certain circumstances you would think it would be great if you did have that, because it would make things more simple, you could make quick decisions etc, etc. But Srila Prabhupada didn’t give that kind of authority, and it really very much is a facilitation and a negotiation etc, and trying to work with people all the time.

[PADA: Srila Prabhupada wanted to make sure there would be no worship of illicit sex, and subsequent banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and assassinations going on, clearly his policy is not being followed.]

DDD: So let’s turn to raising children in Krishna Consciousness. Clearly really a big strategic factor for our organisation. To what extent do you feel that there is a vision for what it means to grow up in Krishna Consciousness, to grow up in Iskcon?

PD: Without getting into the history of that (Damodara had cited Gurukula established in the 70’s) you can definitely argue, let’s put it this way, that’s been less than a successful model, and not least because there was too much imposition. Both imposition on children, and imposition in many respects on parents.

[PADA: The GBC imposes their worship of illicit sex with men, women and children and anal reconstructive surgery epidemic process on others, including the parents. The parents are not in the driver's seat of this process, they are victims of this process.]

They were the days actually, it’s interesting, they were the days when in one sense the GBC was no different to what we were just talking about earlier, about the powers that we have, but somehow or other, because it was even during Prabhupada’s time, and so close to Prabhupada’s time, that people did almost spontaneously agree to what their authorities were requesting them to do, even if they didn’t particularly like it. 

But anyway that all, as we say, came out in the wash later on and it was, it was too much of an imposition on some. It may have suited some, but for some it was too much of an imposition, on the children, on the parents, like that.

And we are all well aware of this, Iskcon and Iskcon leadership have been quite scarred by that history. Because that has been a very, very painful history that we’re all aware of, without necessarily getting into the details.

We all join the Hare Krishna Movement because we saw the futility of life and absorbing ourselves in sensory things. That’s why we joined the Hare Krishna Movement, this was the eternal answer to our problems, if you like, and the challenges we face in the material world. So obviously we want that same opportunity for the children.

[PADA: We wanted our children to worship deviants like homosexual pedophiles as their messiahs, and have ourselves banned, beaten, sued and killed for objecting to that odious worship process? No, this was all added ad hoc after 1978 by the GBC's of ISKCON including UK. They concocted this whole pedophile messiah's process for the children. And followers of the GBC's pedophile guru process are making threats of violence, threats of lawsuits etc. to our associated folks right now as we speak.] 

You mentioned the GBC being predominantly in the renounced order of life, and that’s true. Although there are more and more grhasta’s now, GBC members. I think off the top of my head I would say it’s roughly 2/3rds, 1/3rd, something like that.

But this is a challenge. Knowledge is one thing, realised knowledge is another thing. If you’ve known nothing but brahmacari life and the sannyasa life, I think for some that would be a real challenge to be able to have sufficient understanding, and sufficient empathy with both the grhasta ashram, and with children. I think that would be a challenge.

[PADA: The children were told (coerced) to worship the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru lineage all along, and they still are. The only changes that we see now are, they have added sex with cats to their guru parampara's activities. ys pd]

  1. LW: Oh no ... we are only "facilitating" the worship of pedophiles. We are not really endorsing it! Of course! But If someone disagrees with our pedophile worship ... that someone will be banned, beat, or worse. We all have to "get in line" and agree to facilitate pedophile worship ... or get the boot out the door.

    I am only facilitating the MAFIA, but I am not really a member of the MAFIA. These guys would make good lawyers ... for the MAFIA's promoters and workers. I was not robbing the bank ... I was only facilitating robbing the bank. The cheeziest lame argument the crooks always give .... and that is their front line defense.

  2. SD Dasi: I feel better already! We are going to facilitate the devotees. Sounds like heaven. Wait! The pedophile worshipers are being facilitated. Not us. What about the rest of us?

    We get less than a pin head of land to stand on. The Kauravas were facilitating the Pandavas the same way. We get less than a pin head size area ... the pedophile worship system gets all the rest of the entire kingdom. How is that fair?

    Sorry, not passing my smell test. We have to facilitate ALL the devotees and not just the pedophile worshipers and their attendants and servants. Where does Srila Prabhupada say ... we give all ISKCON facility to the pedophile worship system ... and "facilitate" the pedophile worship parampara ... but anyone who does not want to promote the bogus pedophile guru worship parampara ... has to be banned from ISKCON?

    Sorry this does not smell good at all. Really. Uggh! Smells like the same old dog manure that they told us the whole time. Nothing has changed. Our bogus program is facilitated ... and everyone else has to eat sawdust. This is the same old same old they told us all along.

  3. ND (Australia): This is really a lot of rubbish. Praghosha makes it sound like us devotees here in Australia demanded that gurus like Bhavananda, Prabhavishnu ... and other big leaders ... be worshiped as the gurus here. Then the GBC simply "facilitated" what the devotees here wanted.

    Not what happened. The devotees here never demanded these dubious people be made into gurus. Rather ... Bhavananda acted like a crazy tyrant ... and most of us could not stand his bogus behavior. We wanted these people ... gone. Praghosha thinks we demanded these people be our gurus ... and then the GBC followed our demand?

    Totally false.

    The opposite is what REALLY happened. The GBC told us, actually ordered us ... Bhavananda, Prabhavishnu and others are going to be our gurus here. And we have to accept or leave ISKCON. Praghosha is simply either ... not aware of the history ... or he is a liar. He is misrepresenting what has been going on here. The GBC is not facilitating what we wanted. Actually most devotees left under these gurus leadership ... because it was intolerable, chaotic, bogus and exploiting.

    One of the gurukulis here started a temple property on fire and then committed suicide ... because he was molested. He wanted these people to be his gurus? No. It is very foolish to say the victims wanted to be victims. We wanted these GBC gurus here ... and Praghosha was helping us get what we wanted? This is another intolerable lie from these people. We never wanted them as our gurus ... and the GBC did not facilitate what we wanted ... they facilitated what none of us wanted. That includes the children who were molested and so forth and so on. None of us wanted any of this ... they facilitated what they wanted ... and they still are facilitating what they want ... and not what any of us want. This is simply adding vinegar to the wound ... we wanted this? It is all our fault. Terrible example of preaching they are doing ... again. The rape victims wanted to be raped, and so our program simply facilitated. This is simply another horrible person posing as an ISKCON leader.

  4. M Dasi: I actually like this Praghosha guy. He just comes right out and explains the whole thing.

    *** We facilitate pedophiles posing as gurus.

    *** We do not facilitate people who worship pure devotees.

    *** We cannot get rid of a pedophile guru like Lokanath ... because then people will lose faith in our pedophile guru system.

    *** And the reason we promote pedophile gurus is ... that is facilitating what all the devotees all said they all wanted. We are just giving all the people pedophile worship because ... they all demanded it!

    See how nice we are! People demanded pedophile worship and so ... we facilitated.

    OMG!!! Now we know what the whole problem is! This man is more honest than most of them ... he just admits ... they facilitate all these deviations. And they do not facilitate the people who do not want all these deviations ... makes complete sense.

  5. PADA: Yep thanks bhakta j. Agreed. This makes no sense at all. We facilitated the worship of pedophiles as God's successors. We then facilitated banning, beating, suing and killing anyone who does not want to worship pedophiles as God's successors.

    And that is because -- we are simply following the wishes of the devotees and facilitating their desires. Which devotees desired all this and wanted this facilitated?

    Can he name the specific devotees who wanted all this facilitated? Who are these devotees? I do not know of anyone who wanted all this facilitated -- except for -- themselves. They wanted this facilitated, not the mass of devotees. Yes, he is misleading people, the mass of devotees never wanted to worship pedophiles as their gurus, this was imposed upon them by these leaders. ys pd

  6. Bhakta OM: Sneaky way out of responsibility. We are only "facilitating" the molesting and beating program. We are not doing the molesting ourselves. How does that help?

    That is what Stalin did. He only facilitated what destroyed millions of lives ... but that means ... what? He is innocent?

    The facilitators of criminals are as guilty as the criminals. These people are dodging the whole point all the time. They are the leaders ... they are responsible for what happens under their leadership. If molesting and beating and murder happens on their watch ... they are the main people responsible ... whether they merely facilitated the criminals ... or they are the active criminals. Very sleazy change up of responsibility.

  7. Dear Pada, Regarding the article “ISKCON UK Simply "Facilitates" Their Pedophile Messiahs” In this article Praghosa dasa, GBC member states: “The conundrum from my perspective is he, (Srila Prabhupada ) used this phrase, or not just used it, it’s the first item in his Will, that the GBC is the Ultimate Managing Authority of Iskcon, of the Hare Krishna movement.”

    I wish to take issue with this statement.

    This refers to Iskcon and the Hare Krsna movement being the same and the GBC being the ultimate authority of them both. This is not true.
    The Hare Krsna movement is the sankirtan movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Iskcon is an institution established by Srila Prabhupada to assist in that movement. It is a clear case of the whole versus the part.

    In the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Adi lila chapter 9 text 36 & 50 Srila Prabhupada clearly states these facts.

    Translation

    Therefore I order every man within this universe to accept this Krsna consciousness movement and distribute it everywhere.

    Purport

    The sankirtana movement has been introduced by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu just to dispel the illusion of maya, …

    *** *** *** ***

    Therefore this movement was introduced and established before the existence of Iskcon. It has its authority pre-established in Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This confirms that the Hare Krsna movement is larger and predates Iskcon. They are not one and the same. Further in text 50

    Purport

    “This attitude of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is very important for persons engaged in the Hare Krsna movement of Krsna consciousness. In every center of our institution, ISKCON, we have arranged for a love feast every Sunday…., we know Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always pleased and satisfied. Therefore members if ISKCON must increase this movement more and more.”

    *** *** *** ***

    This established the movement as the whole and ISKCON as the part.

    This is therefore a false claim by Praghosa dasa that they are the same and the authority invested in the GBC is over the Hare Krsna movement when it is actually over the institution only.

    This is proof that the GBC is a power hungry group that is driven to deviate from Srila Prabhupada’s intentions for personal gain. They are trying to assume authority they were not given.

    This is a warning to all devotees to never make the mistake of considering the institution to be the movement. They are as different as the part versus the whole.

    Srila Prabhupada said the institution can be dissolved if it fails to serve the expansion of the movement. It is very clear that He never considered dissolving the movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This proves that He established the institution as different from the movement.

    Therefore authority over the part is never authority over the whole. No one can make this false claim.
