Sivarama Swami Health Crisis / Vaishnava Aparadha 05 12

Request for prayers for HH Sivarama Swami’s well-being

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

I would like to inform you about HH Śivarama Swami’s recent health issues.
Mahārāja has a chronic spinal problem that has matured over the last six months to the point where it is affecting his walking and requires surgery. Upon arrival to Hungary, he also had a second bout with Covid, and the Narasingha Caturdasi / Vyasa-puja weekend festival was, as usual, physically demanding. 

PADA: Yep, it is so exhausting making pretend I am another Vyasa, and I can absorb sins like Jesus. It is a big job being another Jesus, but hey, someone has to do it! 

Understandably, Mahārāja was exhausted, but on Tuesday he developed a pre-stroke condition with warning signs, the main symptoms being left-sided hyperesthesia, numbness in the whole body (paresthesia), loss of balance, hypersensitivity, loss of ability to concentrate and a severe headache. 

PADA: Oh no, another guru with severe headaches like Satsvarupa, Hansadutta etc. Hey maybe you were never qualified to absorb sins like Jesus, and the karma is catching up. Hansadutta and Satsvarupa were taking psychotropics for their headaches, but guess what, karma is not halted by doctors and pills you idiots! This begs the question, why are so many of their gurus suffering fall downs, serious ailments and premature deaths? 

His long-term neurologist has examined him very thoroughly and as it is possible that he has had a transient ischemic attack or mini-stroke (due to decreased blood flow to the brain resulting in sudden onset of neurologic symptoms) tomorrow he will have a safety brain MRI / MRA scan.

PADA: And when these gurus fall down or fall ill, then sometimes the followers say -- we need to pray for guru maharaja, who is suffering greatly from taking our sins. No, he was not supposed to advertise that he can take your sins in the first place. 

A mini-stroke is -- often as not -- a sign a major stroke is coming along soon. Jayapataka also had a stroke. Even Bhakti Swarupa Damodar was said to have had a stroke, partial paralysis etc. These are signs that you guys cannot absorb karma, among other things. 

Currently, Mahārāja is staying in the Budapest temple, and despite these medical challenges he remains in good spirits although he is very tired and rests a lot. When he has finished his rounds he works on Vilāpa-kusumāñjali, editing his Introduction to Volume 2 and his commentary to Verse 46. 

As soon as there are new developments or information, we shall send an update, and in the meantime, we humbly request the Vaisnavas’ prayers for Mahārāja’s well-being. On behalf of the SRS Health support team,

your servant,

Mañjarī Devī Dāsī

PADA: Sorry but Sivarama's whole adult life has been dedicated to establishing his bogus program of worship of their illicit sex with men, women and children acharyas. And when people do not accept their bogus acharyas, they can be banned, beaten, sued and killed. One PADA friendly lady just now said she had to erase her internet identity because she feared "they are coming to get me." What kind of program causes people to have such anxiety and fear? Anxiety and fear are the results of association with the asuras, not the suras. 

This type activity has no authority from the Supreme Being. The Veda Vada Rata class make acharyas artificially, and the shastra says, they go to worse hells than the regular people on the street "and it would have been better if they had never heard of the Vedas." Ditto that! 

In sum! We cannot violate the orders of God, and pose as saints, and take sins without authority, and then pray to God to fix our problems. Not going to work. At the same time, I personally do not wish these people either well or unwell. Their karma train is already running along to its own time schedule, and its not my position to request the train to slow down or speed up, but let us say, there are a considerable number of people who hope all these guys will depart as soon as possible. They have made their own bed, and now they will have to lie in it.

Yep, right they should have all retired a long time ago.

But they are too attached.

PPD: "YOU ARE COMMITTING VAISHNAVA APARADHA"

That line, more than any other, was responsible for silencing dissenters among the 1st and 2nd generation followers of Shrila Prabhupada. At one point, the mere suggestion that there shouldn't be eleven "Vyasa Asanas" beside Prabhupada's sacred seat would earn the devotee an earful on the subject of "offending pure devotees."

I was reading a letter on the FB page of Hrishikesha Prabhu (Books by Hare Krishna Historian Henry Doktorski). It id a letter Hrishikesh received from convicted devotee murderer--and hard time lifer-- Tirtha dasa (Thomas Drescher). In Tirtha's letter, he uses the cliche "Vaishnava aparadha" as a veiled threat meaning ""I've got you in my radar, so you'd better watch your back." It is laughable that Tirtha, a cold blooded assassin of devotees, would call Doktorski's literary presentations of unchangeable historical facts as "Vaishnava aparadha." Have a look:

Tirtha threatens, “For your sake, I just hope you don’t continue with your attempt to publish your book. You can’t see it, but you are riding toward oblivion on Vaishnava aparadhas [offenses to Vaishnavas]. You have no standing in these matters, since you are no longer within the family of Vaishnavas. You will gain nothing but pain and suffering in your life.”

It is indeed a very sad history in ISKCON that Kali chelas in saffron--whose every self-motivated activities were tainted with aparadha against Shrila Prabhupada and the entire sampradaya--would use this tactic of intimidation to try to silence the genuine observation of Prabhupada's real servants. I am certain that all of my friends on this thread must have heard this robotic cult mantra at some point, "You are offending a pure devotee" (read Bhava, Ram, Tamal, Bhagavan, K. Swami, etc).

In 20/ 20 hindsight, one must ask, "Who then is the aparadhi here?
