Baba Rasika Pagal Departs (Vrndavan) VIDEO

PADA: Various ISKCON devotees have been going to the programs of these types of folks in Vrndavan / Radha Kunda etc. Normally, that would not be happening -- if ISKCON had kept a nice attractive program, the ISKCON devotees would have stayed within the institution. 

Over the years a lot of ISKCON devotees have abandoned ISKCON and gone off to other programs, institutions, Mathas, gurus and etc. It is a problem. "Rasika pagal" I believe means -- "mad with rasika." Well hee hee, good idea! 

Of course, one thing we have noticed over the years is -- these gurus, babajis, swamis etc. keep dying off -- and then, people are sort of back tracking to start engaging again with Srila Prabhupada's books and materials. Really, none of these other guru and swami folks have left behind so many books and Vedic materials as has Srila Prabhupada, so he is sort of taking people back to him -- de facto, back door, side door, re-entrance. Then they go back to reading his books, maybe going back to the ISKCON temple etc.

Meanwhile -- I get it. Honest! The reason people go off to these other groups is because -- ISKCON has become too much of a corrupt corporate guru business model, and it is a little bit like eating dried cakes. It is not attractive to most people. 

So in that sense, ISKCON is spawning its own competition, and has been all along. A lot of these alternate movements gather up ex-ISKCON folks and use them for their process. So the ISKCON leaders / GBC are sort of feeding these other missions indirectly, if not directly, since they sometimes advertise these alternate groups like Sridhar Maharaja, Narayan Maharaja, Fakir Mohan, Bhagavat Sapta guys, even various Babajis etc. 

Anyway, this fellow is some type of bhakta, and he was always singing about Krishna, so Krishna will no doubt take all that into consideration. We wish him well! And yes, as a matter of fact, these babaji type guys are generally much more well behaved than the odious banning, beating, molesting, suing and assassinating GBC's guru gangster's program. Yep, I can see why people go to them. I get it! ys pd
