ISKCON Cancer Update / Indradyumna's son / ISKCON's Hindu Plan 12 21 23

Another Tragic Cancer Case

This is a nice lady who is sympathetic to the Prabhupadanugas. She always wanted to make her own small "Krishna farm" and was looking for a rural property -- up to even recently. Unfortunately, she started to feel ill a few weeks ago and she went in for a physical check up. 

And her doctor found swelling in her neck lymph nodes, and he started to check in other areas, and he discovered she had a widespread dangerous form of lymphoma -- that has grown all over her body at this stage. 

The prognosis is not good, a few months with treatment, maybe a few weeks without. She declined treatment -- because she thinks it would not be worth all the struggle -- only to get a short amount of extra time. 

Now she has deteriorated quite rapidly, and can barely get around, she is bed ridden. Her family is dealing with this crisis and I am not going to name this person unless authorized to do so. 

But it seems to me -- too many devotees --- are getting cancer, and yeah it is not my imagination. Anyway, we wish her and her family the best. Yes, I believe that a lot of this has to do with the stressful conditions created by our GBC mis-managers. It is causing people's bodies to cease functioning. Why does she even have to struggle to make her own farm -- that means -- she cannot work with the GBC or ISKCON.

Anyway, Krishna is in control, and I believe He will give these victims a break in their next situation. In any event -- God speed to this spirit soul. We wish her all the best -- and we hope Krishna will minimize her suffering here -- and take her into His arms soon. ys pd

INDRADYUMNA's SON        

A Visit to Provence with Gaura Tibbitts - Part 2 – CouleurNature

PADA: I don't really want to pick on Indradyumna's son exactly, but why are almost none of the children of ISKCON leaders not participating in ISKCON? One of the gurus who took sannyasa and abandoned his children is living around here now. His daughters are followers of another sect of Vaishnavas. They never set foot in ISKCON, and they make jokes about ISKCON. 

And one of the daughters came to make some bhajan with my friends, and she smoked a big joint and -- passed out for two hours. When my books were sent by accident to their "temple" house, I came to collect my box and some of them were smoking pot right in front of the house. The daughter of one guru here has a house is full of tons of junk she buys at thrift stores. She lives like a "crazy bag lady." And if you saw how beautiful she was at 18, and how run down she looks now, you would cry. 

I almost forgot to mention, I had to rescue the lesbian wife of a guru's daughter, after the daughter stole her "wife's" money and passport, and left her stranded with no money, passport, and she also stole her vehicle. Another ex-GBC child has to be on the methodone program because he was taking heroin. Another son is in and out of jail all the time, he is a criminal. Another son of a big leader took his life under a freeway overpass. 

Another son wrote to tell me that his dad is part of a GBC business mafia and he never loved his own kids or any other kids, he just wants money and pooja. And I could go on and on here, but if they failed to properly protect their own kids, how would they do any better protecting others? And yes, Indradyumna, Kirtanananda, Catholic priests and others putting their paws on children is creating a form of psychological abuse in itself. It should not be done. ys pd

WHO WILL SAVE ISKCON?

PADA: Many temples nowadays are manned by hired Bengali cooks and poojaris, or sometimes they are from Poland etc. There are hardly any Western people in most of their temples nowadays. They kicked out some of the few remaining Western folks from the Leicester temple, so they could implement a Hindu style leadership and program. And then they called the Leicester police on the people they kicked out -- when the refugees wanted to distribute books and continue preaching. They also tried to have them sued when they used the term " promoting the teachings of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami" saying they could not do that legally. 

In other words, there are very few actual volunteer devotees left, many are getting a salary. In Alachua, 300 devotee family "biggest community in the USA," they have a hard time finding anyone who will volunteer to do temple services. So the question is, who is even left at these temples to ask for them to demand a change of the management? The hired Bengalis are not going to protest anything, or they lose their chance to get a green card. After they get their green card, many of them leave and go work at karmi jobs, as some of them did here. 

One of my friends said the hired Bengali poojaris at his temple immediately go to the doughnut shop after mangala arotike, to order coffee and doughnuts, and mainly -- to chat with the pretty waitresses. So the question more and more is, who is even left on the sinking ship, who would want to help us save it from sinking? 

The GBC have been building an insulating -- layer upon layer -- of Hindu managers and hired Hindu helpers for years now, and there does not seem to be a whole lot of people around anymore who even know what these "controversy" issues are these days. That does not mean we should stop protesting, but we have to realize -- they have spent the past 45 years building their isolated ivory tower fortress, and it is not going to be easy to pull it down. Vaisesika is a good example, he has NOT been making Western followers there in Silicon Valley for decades, he has a Hindu mainly congregation, OK a few Western ISKCON refugees show up from time to time, but he does not even want us doubting Thomas Westerners around. 

Near none of the people in his congregation are even aware there is a problem with anything, they are mainly there for the weekly Hindu social club. As for Mayapur, Jayapataka has layers and layers of protective insulation there, he has no incentive to change anything. ys pd

NRD: Does that mean Iskcon has become westerners vs Indians ?

PADA: It does seem that way. Various India Continental Committee [ICC] folks wrote to me to complain -- that I am a low born Western mleccha -- and thus won't be able to understand "the higher principles of India culture." Bhakti Vikas swami's scholarly writer told me that we Western people are too attached to "Christian ideas" [that the acharya is not a debauchee] so we cannot understand the real principles of Vaishnava culture [evidently -- that acharyas are often debauchees -- and sometimes predators of minors -- or enablers of predators of minors]. 

At the same time, many of the imported poojaris and cooks "India folks" over here from places like Mayapur -- don't even know what any of these controversies are, nor do they care. They are getting a $$$ salary and they are often trying to get their green cards so they can quit ISKCON and start working at the Muslim restaurant -- as some of them are doing here. Most of the GBC's hired hand India folks are not interested in preserving Vedic culture, or Srila Prabhupada's teachings, much less getting into the weeds of GBC policy on child welfare. They don't want to jeopardize their source of revenue. 

And some of their legal team folks like Dayarama have access to millions of dollars now, so why would he want to make troubles for his main revenue source? He told me he knows all about the GBC gurus being predators, so why is he defending them? It looks like -- $$$ is the real motivation. ys pd
