CULTISM

***** DASI:

I posted this on my page:

In some eastern and spiritual traditions it’s against custom to speak out against any spiritual teacher or guru. It’s considered a great sin that can cause a soul great harm. The tradition is to stay quiet, not question, insult, or offend a god-like figure. So, when it comes to statements that may or not be made by those assaulted by their spiritual masters, many will not speak up for fear of committing a great sin. People will remain cautious and quiet so as not to go against their leader. 

If they do, they are silenced, gaslit, ostracized, removed from society, and in some cases harrassed or beaten for it. This causes repression and cognitive dissonance. Spiritual narcissism and spiritual narcissistic abuse is very common in these communities, but they go under the guise of “culture and tradition.” Sexual abuse is also swept under the rug, as people go into denial, or don’t know how to articulate what happens, or because no one would believe the story, or the family has a lack of resources, or local authorities won’t do anything. 

We are even told to be compassionate toward the accused perpetrators and continue worshipping them, because they can do no wrong, further silencing the victim with shame. Be aware of the word play, and kindly use critical thinking.

I HAD TO BAIL OUT OF ISKCON

****** Dasa: I initially started out in Prabhupadas movement, Krsna hooked me in around 1981, I was 19. I fell in love with Prabhupada, He felt like a Father figure to me. Everything I have awakened to was instigated by Embracing His books. Then things went a bit sour on the farm in Auckland with massive deviations and child pedophilia cover ups, the entire Brahmachari Ashram emptied in the early 1990's, Why? we felt the ISKCON leaders had all gone astray of HDG. Eventually, 22 of us including Mothers and their children took shelter of HDG Srila Bhakti Sundara Govinda Maharaja. He had recently succeeded HDG Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhar Deva Goswami, A.C Bhaktivedanta Swamis closest Godbrother, so much so that our Gurudeva and Srila Sridhar Maharaja became guests of Srila Prabhupada for 12 years in a room above His Chemist shop in Calcutta. Lots of hidden history between those 3, Prabhupada, Sridhar Mhrj and Govinda Maharaja (Gurudeva). I've waited for devotees as outspoken as you for years, I was booted off New Varshana for speaking out against the Hypocrisy. I defend Prabhupadas integrity with my life, including His movement. But from without, not within. Within it has actually been unplugged, As Has Devamrita Swami. Jai Radhe !!!

Kaunteya Das

Beware of the Pseudo-Vedic Path

Within the vast spread of sastras, once everything is said and done and the incompatible doctrines are set aside (Sakta, Saiva, Nyaya, Vaisesika, atheistic Sankhya, Karma-mimamsa, etc.) Vaisnavas accept three processes of spiritual advancement as bona fide:

• Vaidika-vidhana

• Pancaratriki-vidhi

• Bhagavata-marga

Srila Prabhupada explains how the apa-sampradayas (and he specifically includes the smartas) can "spoil the spirit of His [Mahaprabhu's] cult."

"Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu warned all His followers not to become independent or impudent. Unfortunately, after the disappearance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, many apa-sampradāyas (so-called followers) invented many ways not approved by the ācāryas. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has described them as the āula, bāula, kartābhajā, neḍā, daraveśa, sāni sahajiyā, sakhībhekī, smārta, jāta-gosāñi, ativāḍī, cūḍādhārī and gaurāṅga-nāgarī.

The āula-sampradāya, bāula-sampradāya and others invented their own ways of understanding Lord Caitanya's philosophy, without following in the footsteps of the ācāryas. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself indicates herein that all such attempts would simply spoil the spirit of His cult." (CC Madhya, 1.271, purport)

Forewarned is forearmed.

PADA: Correct, Jayapataka's worship of illicit sex with men, women and children deviants as acharyas process is not found -- among the Vaidika marga, Pancaratrika marga, Bhagavata marga, or the even among the sahajiya groups. If fact pedophiles are considered as lower class even in San Quentin, what to speak of saying they are God's successors and samadhi acharyas.

Yup. Even the prisoners and sahajiyas know that Jayapataka's pedophile worship process is bogus and will take one to hell. And they also know that since Bhakti Vikas swami is the sannyasa disciple of Jayapataka, he shares the karma of generating their pedophile pooja project. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

PADA: 

San Diego temple's new kirtan rules. Hah hah. 

San Diego was the long time residential headquarters of ISKCON's Gunagrahi swami. He was famous for iron fisted banning of devotees, and he was caught watching porno more than once. He was watching porno way back in the day when VCR tapes were the method of watching, that is how long ago the other GBC knew about it. 

And Brahmananda and Gargamuni made a report on his porno addiction and sent it to various leaders, and gave a copy to me. Yet our devotees were being banned from San Diego while Gunagrahi was not only "in good standing" he was the guru there. 

Gunagrahi was then diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and his followers said he took too much karma, but even when he was on the way to die in the hospital -- people were still touching his feet, giving him even MORE karma. Then, the GBC buried him in a samadhi, which is now known as the porno swami samadhi by my friends there. Meanwhile, I am still "not in good standing" hee hee. ys pd

RADHANATH SWAMI IS A HINDU

I realized that a father's love and concern is timeless. All spiritual paths teach us the importance of honoring one's parents. In my own spiritual journey, I became a swami on the Hindu path of Bhakti. In the Hindu tradition, a swami is a monk who forgoes regular family life for the purpose of making the whole world his family and channels his full energy into spiritual practice, devotion to God and service to humanity. This was difficult for my parents to comprehend, but they never discouraged me. In time they became proud and happy about the life I had chosen, beyond my imagination. ~HH Radhanath Swami

Good question prabhu, not sure what is going on here.
