Letter to Temple Residents from ISKCON Swami

PADA: Yep KD. We do know Kadamba kanana supports the pedophile samadhi project's leaders (as above). No, we do not know if he will get a samadhi from them. But yes, he is a big cheer leader of the pedophile messiah's association. Yes, he is saying he is a diksha guru taking karma. Yes, Srila Prabhupada says if we take karma we will have to suffer.

At our local iskcon community, a letter was sent to all the devotees as follows:

SPEECH OF THE LEADER OF NYP AND ISKCON 

Dear Devotees, please accept our humble regards. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Before reading Maharaj's letter, we would like to say a few words and introduce the larger context. Some time ago, individuals began to appear or groups who follow and propagate from the point of view of Vedas and Bhakti inauthentic philosophy and false spiritual path. They are briefly described in the appendix at the end of the article. 

We advise all Krishna friends and devotees, especially younger and new devotees, to be careful in your spiritual path and not to believe and follow just anyone, not even all devotees. We advise you not to associate with persons and also devotees who act according to the deviations described in the appendix. 

We also advise you not to participate in FB pages, Internet forums, group gatherings, personal conversations, etc., where such deviations are propagated. For all the successes, we have some internal challenges in ISKCON, but what spiritual community, organization or even country does not, especially in the age of Kali? 

But the solution is not to leave Srila Prabhupada's spiritual ship, but to deepen our spiritual practice and relationship with Prabhupada and Krishna, and to deepen our loyalty and service to devotees, community and mission. To protect the latter three, we have spoken to Swami about this, who has made a statement for the devotees below.

LETTER FROM OUR GBC, N.S. SWAMI

Dear devotees,

please accept my greetings and blessings of Lord Krishna.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Devotees in ISKCON follow the previous acharyas in the Brahma Madhva sampradaya (spiritual succession) mentioned in the teachings of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Many people claim to be spiritual but do not recognize that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The knowledge of such persons is either incomplete or deficient.

I advise all who wish to attain true spiritual perfection to remain in ISKCON and faithfully follow the teachings of Srila Prabhupada. Namely, based on the pure devotional service he teaches, devotees can gradually awaken their original Krishna consciousness and attain eternal happiness.

Your servant,

() Swami

APPENDIX - A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SOME SIDEWAYS FROM THE SPIRITUAL LIFE

Ritvikvada - a false teaching that teaches that Srila Prabhupada is the last guru and that initiation (spiritual initiation) can only be received directly from Prabhupada, since he has already left this world, instead of from his disciples, our gurus. Prabhupada was said to be not strong and pure enough to leave behind sufficiently advanced disciples who could become gurus or spiritual teachers. The consequence of following this teaching is disconnection from sampradaya (spiritual succession), criticism, etc.

False Gurus and Incarnations - Quasi-spiritual persons or apparent devotees who pose as gurus and / or even incarnations of God, as they may possess little knowledge, charisma or mystical powers, thereby deceiving, exploiting and abusing spiritually ignorant people. Srila Prabhupada warns of the coexistence of deceivers and the deceived.

Mayavada,..

Sahajya,..

Apasampradayas..

=====================

Here are my thoughts on his letter:

Some devotees face doubts and strongly expressed concerns on a daily basis from friends, acquaintances, relatives, and even ordinary people we meet in sankirtan. We can somehow explain to them that every movement has challenges, but its impossible to explain the silence that is going on (especially about child beatings and sexual abuse) and is difficult for those who know a little better about the history of our movement or read about it in the news. 

Now the Lokanath people are suing the devotees who oppose their child molester guru in court, so that will make even more widespread public media bad advertising. That just convinces the regular society's people ... this is truly a pedophile cult ... all the more. They are pouring petrol on their own fire to burn down ISKCON.

Ultimately, iskcon was convicted in court and held responsible for one of the largest child abuse lawsuits in history. The most critical and difficult question to answer, which we get from many devotees (who for this very reason sought advice from someone outside the institution and unfortunately also met with wrong interpretations of Shrila Prabhupada in various sahajya groups or individuals with various different ideas, which you point out), from our friends, relatives, and those who know the events a little better is this question:

Why is everyone quiet, why is so much being swept under the rug. Why do these people who have been proven guilty still have a place in the institution and even more than that ... some of them get samadhi memorials. 

And how is it possible that even 30-40 years after the first child abuse scandal, these things are still happening ... so obviously ... and it is being treated so casually, instead of putting the protection of children really high on the list of solutions. In short, when a person has lice on his head or fleas on his pet, he spends all his efforts to get rid of it as soon as possible. For an ordinary material problem, the materialist will expend all efforts to solve it. 

In our movement however, the child abuse program's leaders for 45 years are still the leaders. And even worship of abusers as gurus is still very active, with many new serious accusations from former victims coming forward every year, but this problem is given less attention than the daily cleaning of the temple kitchen. That makes it appear ... the pedophiles and the worship of pedophiles is being supported and protected.

And after all the well known in public child abuse, the 5,000+ book changes problem is another offense to Shrila Prabhupada's lotus feet and divine instructions, which also deserves a second group to discuss. I read that now they are making changes from the words "illicit sex" to something more publicly soothing. Political correct.  

Maybe in the future some more alterations will be made, so we can have lgpt, gaj, lesbo, everything ok in our society and married with man and man will be ok if it happens only in the marriage status. Everything is so far corrupt and evil that now we have a real test from lord Nityananda, all the devotee society. 

I think it is not possible to get the mercy of Nityananda and with his mercy, the mercy of Lord Gaurasundara if we do not express our absolute disgust to this maha offenses to the Lotus feet of our everything, who is respectfully Shrila Prabhupada. Would you give mercy if you were lord Nitai? To a group of vaishnavas who tolerate an offence like this to a vaishnava like Prabhupada.

Everybody, each everyone, is responsible to make clear stand where he / she stands. If we do not express our disgust to this offence, we support it. The problem is, many tried to be revolutionaries and expressed the disgust, but one gets murdered if the voice is too loud. 

Things are very dangerous and it is not worth to die anymore trying to save the modern iskcon? Rather make sure the old one stays alive. It's not even iskcon anymore and to save iskcon like it is now, would be the same as try to save the world geopolitical situation or revolutionary affairs in one big country. 

They have the money, the brainwashed majority, the status of saints. It is close to impossible to expect that this version of society would come back globaly to the non dogmatic, compassionate, transcendental mood of Shrila Prabhupada after 45 years of making a false ISKCON. 

This are our prayers but actually the most important is to not wait for this to happen and start create a parallel society, programs, to associate and practice with those who do not tolerate this offenses. 

Even if its just 2. No rittvik, no sahajya, no anything, just following Shrila Prabhupada, doing the same as we do for 50 years. There is no other alternative then to patiently wait for a next acharya who will show the way out of this total confusion and keep the legacy alive. Following the offenders system and fighting for a left over bite of an apple, kali chela maha prasadam from these offenders is not the way. It was made most clear by Aindra Prabhu.

[PADA: Anyone who does not worship their pedophile messiahs club is a deviant. That is all they ever say. But yes, more and more and more people are asking about all this because it looks like, instead of fixing their pedo-messiahs program, they are just doubling down and being more insistent that we have to help them promote worship of their pedo-gurus. 

All glories to the ISKCON GBC's pedo-gurus! Where do I sign up? I forgot, their temples are empty. And in 1988 Lokanath swami himself said the ISKCON temples have become empty ghost towns -- running on skeleton crew. He first wanted to make it a skeleton, and now he wants to smash and crush the remaining bones, so there will be nothing remaining. Told ya!

MEANWHILE! They still are not taking care of their citizens. They only have first class care for the pedo-guru association members:

Dear devotees, friends & well-wishers,

I'm launching an appeal on behalf of a much loved friend, senior-devotee & UK based disciple of Srila Prabhupada, Mother Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi (Legal Name: Pauline Mccurry)

Asta Sakhi joined her Guru, Srila Prabhupada's mission, ISKCON, in 1971 at the tender age of 19 and was initiated in 1972 at the famous Bury place temple in London, UK.

Throughout her decades of illustrious, voluntary service, she has served as a pujari, a seamstress, a cook and a sankirtan devotee & leader, amongst quite a few other vital roles.

As well as being a very reputed & devoted soul, Asta has always been known a very friendly, kind, generous & warm-hearted person & has repeatedly opened her home to many different devotees in their times of crisis, whenever needed, over the years.

Asta is now 72 years old & sadly her home was recently burned-down.

Her youngest daughter is mentally-ill and accidentally started the fire, setting herself on fire in the process (although fortunately she was rescued by the police with very minor harm).

Her daughter is now in full-time care at a local mental health facility.

Asta has been really badly shocked & traumatised by this event and has subsequently suffered a heart-attack in the process.

In the most recent news, she fell badly whilst in temporary accommodation & now, is not only homeless, but back in hospital again, with a very painful back issue.

The housing association insurance will cover structural damage to the house but not the cost of the re-decoration of her house, the furniture and the personal items needed to replace those lost, nor the cost of moving and storing whatever wasn't incinerated.

Asta unfortunately doesn't have any savings and needs help to rent a home in the short-term and for all the expenses detailed above, as well as for counselling to overcome the trauma she's suffered, seeing her daughter catch on fire etc. etc.

Please, please help Asta in her hour of need, she's a very worthy cause and thus we're appealing to all devotees, all friends & all kind well-wishers to do their best to relieve her heavy, traumatic burden now in her time of crisis and going forward into the near future.

Thanks so much for reading this & thanks (in advance) for helping-out, it's really most appreciated. Hare Krishna

Your Servant
