PADA Views / Bhakti Vijnana Meltdown / Oath of Allegience 06 29 25

PADA's daily views fluctuate quite a lot. Basically, we can tell when a country is taking off -- sort of waking up to PADA -- because we suddenly have an avalanche of readers from one place or another. Sometimes it is a big jump from less than a hundred a day to thousands, perhaps many thousands. 

It looks to me like a few people catch on, and then they send links to their friends and others, and it sort of spreads grass roots. Generally the USA has been my overall traditional higher readership, but this can change from day to day, as we see herein. It looks like more folks are waking up to the fact that ISKCON is a dysfunctional mess of a mass of bogus gurus, and they want to find a better solution. 

And maybe, it is PADA i.e. Srila Prabhupada! Someone told me that ISKCON's enemies are gloating over Trivrikrama's problems, because it proves "ISKCON is bogus." Right, unless ISKCON adopts worshiping Prabhupada, it will just build more and more opposition and enemies. 

And one report says that the CULT WATCH people are already advertising the Trivrikrama fall down as evidence the GBC does NOT VET their gurus, and never has. So the CULT WATCH people are ridiculing and making fun of ISKCON, which means making a mockery of Srila Prabhupada, the sannyasa order, the parampara, and of course Krishna. 

And a lot of New Age Yoga type people type in Hare Krishna to Google search, and they come to these CULT WATCH sites. Trivrikrama only cares about the name and reputation of himself, and not ISKCON, or Srila Prabhupada, or Krishna. I, me and mine. 

Personally I have to admit all this has been a big surprise to me. When I was a kid growing up, no one would ever have been able to convince me that I would later have to counter a homosexual and pedophile messiah's project, that includes drunks, sex with half dozen disciples, sex with taxi drivers, gurus wearing condoms, porno swamis, orchestrated murders, poisoning pure devotees etc. as "a chain of gurus from God Almighty." 

And worse, the first wave of persons engaged in all of the above shennanigans could "2/3 show of hands" vote in another wave of messiahs from Vaikuntha. It just seems that this would be so foolish, no one would have promoted it. And if it did ever surface, almost everyone would have joined me to combat this deviation. 

But the devotees collectively did make this deviation happen, and many / most people went along with it. And then Sridhara Srinivasa and co. are still the big apologists and defenders of that regime. But hey, unbelievable stuff happens, because when a bunch of perverts hi-jack a religion, anything can -- and will -- happen. 

Hard to believe that this level of illusion could overtake people, but Kali Yuga is full of bonus bogus Satanic surprises, and this is just another example. The good news is, more and more people are waking up and -- resisting -- their deviant out cropping -- of bogus messiahs.

Bhakti Vijnana cancels all planned events and visiting.

Dear Vaisnavas!

Please accept our obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Due to health reasons, H.H. Bhakti Vijnana Goswami Maharaj is canceling his participation in all planned programs in the near future and has postponed most of his meetings indefinitely. In recent months, his insomnia has worsened, and he is currently under the supervision of doctors, restoring his sleep pattern. This requires time and complete rest.

We know how eager he is to respond to every request, but his physical resources are limited, and the pressure of unfulfilled obligations only aggravates his condition.

In this regard:

— Please do not insist on his participation in retreats, broadcasts, sangas, meetings, darsans etc.

— Maharaj has stopped reading personal messages.

— For any questions, please contact the mentors, siksa gurus or secretaries.

Let us show our love for Guru Maharaj by taking care of his health and allowing him to recover.

Secretaries:

Abhinava Krishna das

Varsana das

Vrajaranu das

Dina Chaitanya das

PADA: Yawn. Another one bites the dust. ys pd

OATH OF ALLEGIENCE

Manibandha Das, the new GBC ISKCON diksa-guru, takes a public oath of allegiance to the GBC ISKCON.

Translate:

"I have to take the oath of allegiance to ISKCON. I wish to promise the following. I, Manibandha Das Russia, take the following oath. I accept His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada as the founder-acarya and the supreme authority of ISKCON.

I will follow his teachings, instructions and directions. I accept the ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC) as the supreme governing body of ISKCON. As stated in Srila Prabhupada's last will and testament.

I will observe the spiritual rules of the society, namely: strictly abstain from illicit sex, intoxication, gambling, meat-eating, and I also undertake to chant a minimum of 16 rounds of japa of the maha-mantra daily. I will follow the principles laid down in Srila Prabhupada's books.

I accept that all funds, assets, property ISKCON under my control and management, including anything ISKCON may have acquired under my management, shall be the exclusive property of ISKCON and in the event of my death, resignation or other abandonment of my responsibilities in ISKCON, shall belong exclusively to ISKCON. I will never have any claim to them.

PADA: OK so the disciples belong to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON and not the GBC gurus. This is good. That means they are fallible conditioned soul agents of the acharya (ritviks).

I will abide by the directions of ISKCON management, cooperate with local GBC representatives, and discharge my duties in a spirit of service. Never knowingly acting against the interests of ISKCON, I will uphold the spiritual programs, standards, and teachings established by Srila Prabhupada in all projects and in the community of devotees under my care. I also agree not to involve ISKCON or the devotees under my care in any activity that is contrary to the above principles."

ISKCON Guru Oath:

"I, Manibandha Das Russia, take the following oath. I promise that my personal mission as ISKCON guru will be the same as Srila Prabhupada's mission - to flood the world with transcendental books such as Bhagavad-gita and Srimad -Bhagavatam. And as Srila Prabhupada directed us - to do what I am doing in establishing ISKCON all over the world.

I recognize the GBC as the supreme governing body in ISKCON, I support the GBC system and will follow it as Srila Prabhupada wanted.

I acknowledge that a bona fide guru is first and foremost a bona fide disciple, and therefore I promise that in all my actions I will remain submissive to the orders of Srila Prabhupada and his authorized representatives. Since Srila Prabhupada ordered his representatives to serve in ISKCON under the direction of the GBC, I acknowledge that representing Srila Prabhupada in my service as guru in the parampara by his order, I can as a member of ISKCON. 

If I leave ISKCON, I will no longer act as a guru. As a spiritual master, I will always set the standard for Krishna consciousness for all devotees by my behavior, which will always be strictly regulated and exemplary. As the public representative of ISKCON, I must always toe the official line of ISKCON management and must never by my actions, in any way, undermine or jeopardize the worldwide mission of ISKCON. 

I will never by my conduct undermine anything, faith in Krishna consciousness. I will carefully examine and test all prospective disciples and initiate only qualified devotees in order to maintain the seriousness and sanctity of initiation. I will accept as disciples only those candidates who meet the standards and procedures laid down by ISKCON laws. I will give my disciples instructions and examples strictly according to the instructions of Srila Prabhupada. I will instill in all my disciples to understand that they are part of ISKCON."

PADA: This is good, at least partially. First problem is that this guy is advertising that he is another Jesus - like diksha guru who can absorb sins from followers. Ummm nope. 

Next problem, the GBC says acharyas are commonly: falling down into illicit sex with men, women and children; taking dope; drinking beer; watching porno; having oral sex with minors etc.. Ummm nope. 

Next problem, distributing the books is a good idea, except the ISKCON books are hatchet job edited books and they sue people who print originals. 

Next problem, he is a diksha guru but if he falls he will not take his followers with him. That means they are not his followers, they are followers of Srila Prabhupada, but this is not being made clear.

The good news! If I fall or leave I do not take anything with me. OK that is a good start, because previously falling gurus took maybe a woman, money, followers etc. and drained if not bankrupted their zones. This is a move in the right direction, they are ritviks de facto. ys pd 

Be calm and relax.

I am driving the bus and not you.
