ISKCON and Gaza / Advaita / AISF News 02 5 25

All through the many universes, there are many millions of great Vedic scholars, sages, rishis, munis, yogis, demigods, and exalted learned saints and sadhus, who are trying to discuss philosophy or meditate to find the Supreme absolute truth. Meanwhile, mother Yasoda is holding the Supreme absolute truth on her lap.

ISKCON AND GAZA

Yes prabhu, good analogy. Gaza is now reduced to a giant pile of rubble and the people there are living in the cold in tents with no electricity etc. It has been bombed back to the stone age. And maybe 100,000 are dead and 100,000 are wounded and there are no more functioning schools, hospitals etc. 

But the Jihadis came out of the tunnels and proudly announced, "see, we told you, we won"! Yep! You won -- what? You had your country reduced to rubble, all kinds of people are wounded and dead, everything is reduced to rubble, and you -- won? Really?

And ISKCON leaders destroyed ISKCON, and made it into a bankrupted pile of empty ghost town rubble, and yet they still meet to discuss how they acted as wonderful exalted gurus and managed everything very nicely with their wonderful pure devotional guru managing. And they still think they are pure devotees and gurus etc. 

Now Donald Trump says we have to make Gaza an enclave of the USA, otherwise if we spend $100B rebuilding it, then the Jihadis will just start making tunnels all over again, and the Jihadis will start shooting missiles at Israel all over again, and the whole process of bombing Gaza back to oblivion, and killing all sorts of people, will just happen again, and again, and again. Then we will need another $100B to rebuilt it again, then again, and so on ad infinitum. Well yup, we might like Donald Trump or not, but that analysis seems to be correct. Without a change of management, rebuilding will not work. 

The same problems will just keep happening over and over. Yep, same as ISKCON. The same people who made ISKCON into a bankrupted bombed out mess are still in charge, so it cannot be rebuilt, until those guys are out of management. And since the people in charge think all the devastation they caused proves they are doing a good job, it means they are wrong and proud of it. It also means nothing can be fixed until these wrong headed managers are -- replaced with good managers. 

Good example prabhu!

Appearance Day of Śrī Advaita Ācārya

February 4th

From Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, ch. 6, Text 12:

Śrī Advaita Ācārya is all-auspicious to the world, for He is a reservoir of all auspicious attributes. His characteristics, activities and name are always auspicious.

PURPORT

Śrī Advaita Prabhu, who is an incarnation of Mahā-Viṣṇu, is an ācārya, or teacher. All His activities and all the other activities of Viṣṇu are auspicious. Anyone who can view the all-auspiciousness in the pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu also becomes auspicious simultaneously. Therefore, since Lord Viṣṇu is the fountainhead of auspiciousness, anyone who is attracted by the devotional service of Lord Viṣṇu can render the greatest service to human society. 

Rejected persons of the material world who refuse to understand pure devotional service as the eternal function of the living entities, and as actual liberation of the living being from conditional life, become bereft of all devotional service because of their poor fund of knowledge.

In the teachings of Advaita Prabhu there is no question of fruitive activities or impersonal liberation. Bewildered by the spell of material energy, however, persons who could not understand that Advaita Prabhu is nondifferent from Viṣṇu wanted to follow Him with their impersonal conceptions. The attempt of Advaita Prabhu to punish them is also auspicious. Lord Viṣṇu and His activities can bestow all good fortune, directly and indirectly. 

In other words, being favored by Lord Viṣṇu and being punished by Lord Viṣṇu are one and the same because all the activities of Viṣṇu are absolute. According to some, Maṅgala was another name of Advaita Prabhu. As the causal incarnation, or Lord Viṣṇu's incarnation for a particular occasion, He is the supply agent or ingredient in material nature. However, He is never to be considered material. 

All His activities are spiritual. Anyone who hears about and glorifies Him becomes glorified himself, for such activities free one from all kinds of misfortune. One should not invest any material contamination or impersonalism in the Viṣṇu form. Everyone should try to understand the real identity of Lord Viṣṇu, for by such knowledge one can attain the highest stage of perfection.

Re: ISKCON’S SHUDRA GBCs

Dear Friends and Members, Dandavats to all genuine followers of Shrila Prabhupada. Take a look around today’s ISKCON and you’ll see rampant shudra values in every corner of the brick-and-mortar church that ISKCON has morphed into. And that’s because the leadership has deteriorated into shudra quality. Shudra values are seen everywhere. Prabhupada warned:

“Therefore we have created these GBC. So they should be very responsible men. Otherwise, they will be punished. They will be punished to become a shudra.
Although Yamaraja is a GBC, but he made a little mistake. He was punished to become a shudra. So those who are GBC’s, they should be very, very careful to administer the business of ISKCON. Otherwise they will be punished. As the post is very great, similarly, the punishment is also very great.” (Srila Prabhupada Lecture, June 4th, 1974).

And now the inevitable has happened because the GBC shudras did not listen. The fingerprints of ISKCON’s shudra GBCs are everywhere. Just see…

-ISKCON Swamis crowd surfing and doing shudra dances before the Deities just to please the crowds of their blind, admiring shudra fans.

-ISKCON Swamis living luxuriously like “extravagant shudras” on money provided by the struggling working class “disciples” that they exploit.

-Several ISKCON Swamis and GBCs live like millionaire playboys with their female attendants and masseuses.

-Bogus news propaganda is rampant on ISKCON’s shudra disinformation network ISKCON News. And the real news networks are publishing many sordid details of the real information.

-Affection for shudra class Mayavadi swamis is seen in ISKCON shameful publication "The Journey Home" and other books written by ISKCON shudra “leaders.”

-The shudra-quality “acharya” of The Journey Home has been named by witnesses as the one who gave the order for murdering Sulochan.

-Physical gymnastic yoga exercises are taught to shudras for money at many ISKCON centers. BB Govinda is going to health clubs.

-ISKCON preachers have turned into paid shudra “life coaches.”

-ISKCON shudra Swami Radhanath has started a trend of shudra worship by installing a deity of himself in Prabhupada’s temple.

-Some ISKCON shudra “acharyas” and “gurus” have been exposed as dangerous pedophiles that rape the precious little children born of ISKCON’s dharma-following brahmana householders.

-Smart-ass shudra know-it-alls in the BBT have radically changed Prabhupada’s books because they have listed Prabhupada as their “worker for hire.”

-The shudra GBC and shudra Swamis accept grand luxurious feasts while Gurukula children have been starved.

-Bhaktivedanta degrees handed out by unqualified shudras to other shudras at Mayapur.

-Cheap sahajiyaism, shudra imitation devotion, is rampant as seen in the books of GBC Shivaram, who runs ISKCON News, the shudra propaganda service.

-”Devotee care” is just a sham to cover up all the abuse that has been meted out by shudra leaders to honest devotees who have spoken up over the years.

-The greatest influence ISKCON is having nowadays is seen in films that expose ISKCON’s shudra corrupt practices. Movies like MONKEY ON A STICK, Peacock’s TV special KRISHNAS:GURUS, KARMA, MURDER, and Wonderly’s online expose are showing the public what ISKCON today is made of. Rather than honoring the pioneering spiritual activities of the Founder- Acharya Shrila Prabhupada, ISKCON’s shudra leaders have sent the Hare Krishna Movement into mission drift.

-No one in the media listens to ISKCON’s GBC shudra apologist Anuttama das.

-The video about shudra GBC Emeritus Giriraja Swami’s lurid and vulgar sexual affair with a much younger disciple has been widely viewed on Hare Krishna Podcast.

-When huge sums of money “go missing” in ISKCON, the shudra GBC simply scrambles to cover up the scandal.

-ISKCON attends interfaith ceremonies with other shudra religious groups to show agreement with “other religions.”

-ISKCON’s official policy is that it is a Hindu organization in many areas, simply to attract the wealth of Indian shudra professionals.

-Blooped gurus living like kings in devotee communities like Harikesh, supposedly with money handed over by fellow shudra GBCs and swamis.

-It is evident that there is a shudra cabal, an inner circle in ISKCON, that has directed the movement back into the realm of the lower classes. Prabhupada predicts the future GBC destruction of ISKCON

“What will happen when I am not here, shall everything be spoiled by GBC? So for the time being, let the GBC activities be suspended until I thoroughly revise the whole procedure.” (Srila Prabhupada Letter, April 11th, 1972)

“I made the GBC to give me relief, but if you do like this, then where is the relief. It is anxiety for me. This is the difficulty, that as soon as one gets power, he becomes whimsical and spoils everything.” (Srila Prabhupada Letter, September 12th, 1974 )

“I am training some of my experienced disciples how to manage after my departure. So if instead of taking the training, if in my lifetime you people say I am the Lord of all I survey, that is dangerous conspiracy.” (Srila Prabhupada Letter, October 8th, 1974)

Prabhus, don’t follow shudras. Prabhupada wanted his ISKCON to be a movement of Vaishnava brahmanas, so we must strive for that standard rather than compromising with the trade-offs of a milquetoast
sell-out.

The goal is great, so do it.

Yours always in the service of the Vaishnavas,

Your A.I.S.F. Team 

PADA: Yeah I mean seriously, all sorts of banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing of Vaishnavas has been going on since 1978. Did I forget to mention the poison issue? And the BBT case and Bangalore court cases are still ongoing, and they are still paying for other lawsuits. So many thousands of devotees had to suffer, just so a few guys could sit on big seats and make pretend they are messiahs for a short spell. 

The GBC have to be responsible men, because if they are not, they will be held responsible for all this deteriorating of ISKCON and suffering of the citizens later on. Rupanuga told my friend that in 1977 the 11 were all qualified to be worshiped as pure, because at that time they were pure, but then they fell later on. Nope, they were never pure at any time. And anyone who thought they were pure, or are qualified to be promoted as pure, was or still is -- in illusion. ys pd
