**** Dasa: Thank you prabhu for bold and clear presentation. Fact of the matter is that due to horrific negligence and cover up whole GBC Body deserves full suspension from any managerial, leadership role -- including guru roles. Guru must be very perfect man Srila Prabhupada said. And how thay acted regarding children in guru kulas is far from being very perfect man. Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. And GBC Body should be shut down straight away.
SD: All ISKCON GBC body should be criminal charged with organizing criminal child beating monsters to abuse kids -- and negligence would have been a blessing for those kids.
SN DASA: Selective Paralysis Syndrome.
In the 1999 GBC Resolutions - the same year the second CPO report came out about BVP’s cruelty and deviations - the Governing Body Commission was sitting in Mayapur passing laws to, “suspend or expel from ISKCON,” anyone caught talking about Prabhupada’s Ritvik system. They name seven devotees at the time who were recipients of such a decisive, “expulsion from ISKCON,” and who to the best of my knowledge remain excommunicated to this day.

There’s been no decision reversal, slackening of the rules, reinstatements, forgiveness, or GBC’s stepping in and stepping up in support. A section of Law 302 passed that year reads: “The GBC Body hereby makes known it’s strong determination to enforce ISKCON law in the matter of ritvikism,…”
[PADA: But Indradyumna swami can be a ritvik and initiate on behalf of Bhakti Vidya Purna swami. Anyone can be a ritvik, as long as they are not doing so on behalf of the acharya. Giving initiations on behalf of a child molesting child beater is the only authorized system according to "GBC laws." I was in Los Angeles at the time and the Svavasa / Badrinarayan Los Angeles goondas were following me around trying to give me grief, because I was opposing their idea that children need to be starved, raped and beaten in their "guru" schools.]
In its call-to-arms, the Governing Body Commission wants everyone in leadership to be aware of the evil (ritviks) that’s befallen the society, with the expectation they’ll all get onboard with the GBC hard-line stance,
“…and it enjoins upon all its members and other official bodies, officers, and other authorities in ISKCON, such as Regional Governing Boards, regional secretaries, GBC ministers, sannyasis, initiating gurus, temple presidents, and temple officers, the responsibility to take every appropriate action, according to ISKCON law, to enforce the prohibition against ritvikism in ISKCON.”
[PADA: Why would anyone want to worship a pure devotee when they can worship the Adikarta / Svavasa / Badrinaryan child raping and child beating guru system.]

So the GBC are meeting in Mayapur where child abuse has been going on for years, but are absorbed in invoking hard laws to ban anyone who might want to take shelter of Srila Prabhupada.
Whatever ones personal feelings or beliefs may be around the continuation or cessation of Srila Prabhupada’s Ritvik system - and I respect the fact there’s probably a rainbow of opinions within the community on the issue - still I’m thinking these are some pretty messed up priorities, and a gross misdirection and squandering of energy and resources.
What it does prove is that when they want to, the GBC can be hyper vigilant, energetic, decisive, aggressive, unwavering and perhaps even bullheaded in calling into existence the laws they choose, and strongly enforcing them.
PS: Who appointed Alan Wexler to be a so called gooroo. He was abusing children before and after his rubber stamped appointment. So his gooroo ship was bogus all this time. All his so called initiations are therefor cancelled. They are all null and void.
GC: Wow thats very damning for Indradumnya swami to be the ritvik for BVP, very damning ... he is fully complicit ... its selective amnesia at the expense of the untold suffering of others. Somehow it seems that all these swamis are playing some kind of imaginary vedic themed cosplay game full of self delusion and false grandeur. All devotees should stop holding them in such high regard.

And they themselves should stop looking for worship and preferential treatment
and have fully transparent bank accounts!!!
JD: Isn't GBC the ultimate managerial authority? Ultimate responsibility .... Responsible only for the good .... not responsible for the bad? Not responsible at all for sure! Any company would fire such irresponsible leaders. GBC should be replaced the way Srila Prabhupada said: every 3 years? Let's come back to the original instructions. "you Americans always want to change things"...
PADA: Excellent video Chandrashekar. Krishna is empowering more folks to speak up. "You mean to say, the emperor ... has no clothes?" Children are the society's most important foundational asset, lose them -- and you lose your whole society. Good job. ys pd
RS: Bloody hell, don't worry about 1991 or 1999. This stuff was known in 1984!

VF Dasi: "I have worked in the courts since 2004. Even materially minded souls assert "There is never any excuse for abuse." Councils write it on the side of buses. Governments sink huge budgets to combat abuse.
ReplyDeleteThese innocent child devotees were estranged from thier parents. Devotees in authority have an obligation to model impecable qualities representing what Srila Prabhupada painstakingly showered us with. Where in sastra condones such behaviour?
Even in mundane systems those individuals causing harm to those identified as most vulnerable like children (or women) are punished by law.
Those in an authoritative positions found not overtly championing zero violence get removed and prevented from ever holding an authorative position again. So what to speak of those meant to be modelling Srila Prabhupada's teachings?
We love and appreciate those striving for love of Godhead. For those accepting leadership positions there is a higher bar of what needs to be exemplified. We need to protect the purity of what Srila Prabhupada has entrusted us with. For those who have suffered - my deepest sorrow and apologies for what has happened to you. For the up and coming generations that are adopting zero tolerance to unvaisnava-like behaviour...my deepest respect to you. When we had Srla Prabhupada's vapu, we could gain direction for most dilemmas. I ponder what reaction Srila Prabhupada would have about this, the thunderbolt or the rose? In my heart there is no question."
