PADA: Yep. A number of Alachua senior devotees are getting little to no social security, because they were devotees -- and not employed karmis paying into the system. Yet Mahananda and Mrkanda Fitch are not happy with PADA, when I complain the GBC leaders get Saudi Prince millionaire lifestyles -- with servants, nice opulent dwellings, nice vehicles and unlimited health care, while these peons do not even have a vehicle.
They think I am being mean to these leaders. OK this is Stockholm syndrome, we sympathize with the people who took us hostage and stole our money.
Meanwhile Trivrikrama is back in Poland and he is not following GBC restrictions.
He has become a renegade from ISKCON GBC authority. No kidding. Since he is already the sum total of the demigods / messiah of the jagat, why should he listen to these insignificant whiners from the GBC?
"Trivikrama Swami has engaged in severe spiritual and moral deviations breaking the regulative principles. He has also rejected both committees’ recommendations and directions for his purification."
Yeah, as the greatest messiah of the universe, why should he listen to these GBC fools? Hee hee. "Severe spiritual and moral deviations," ok he is aggressing female followers -- which Srila Prabhupada says -- makes him a pedophile de facto.
I said this is a homosexual and pedophile guru lineage, and it is. And he is just another one out of that group. Srila Prabhupada said these illicit sex gurus who exploit followers for sex are going to the lowest and darkest regions of the universe.
And even if we little peons forgive them and try to get them into God's good graces, Srila Prabhupada says they are already condemned, and they will not get mercy from the courts of Yamaraja. In sum, anyone who behaves like this is more or less doomed, especially when he shows no remorse and he goes renegade into more or less being the liberated soul messiah once again.

Statement from the Executive Committee of the Governing Body Commission Regarding Trivikrama Swami
Disciples of Trivikrama Swami should continue to take shelter and guidance of ISKCON Founder-Acarya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his teachings, as well as other siksha gurus and senior devotees within ISKCON.
Those who were aspiring to be initiated by Trivikrama Swami are advised to take shelter of another ISKCON guru for initiation per the standard guidelines of the society.
We are reminded again, yet not surprised, that even senior devotees and spiritual leaders may sometimes undergo serious problems in their practice of Krishna consciousness. It is not an easy task to become God conscious in the Age of Kali. If a devotee remains humble and takes shelter of Srila Prabhupada and his movement, there is every chance of his being rectified and advancing in Krishna consciousness. Therefore, all ISKCON devotees must be attentive to our practice of Krishna consciousness and remain in a prayerful mood before the Lord, always seeking His protection.
The Governing Body Commission members will continue to pray for Trivikrama Swami and we ask ISKCON members to do the same. We are grateful for his many years of service and friendship. We hope that he will take to heart the severity of his mistakes, the need for guidance and purification, and the need to continue to humbly serve Srila Prabhupada within the ISKCON society.
27 June 2025
Dear ISKCON Devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In addition to the 24 June 2025 resolution of the ISKCON Governing Body Commission regarding Trivikrama Swami (shared below), we, the members of the GBC Executive Committee, offer the following guidance to followers of Trivikrama Swami:
Disciples of Trivikrama Swami should continue to take shelter and guidance of ISKCON Founder-Acarya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and his teachings, as well as other siksha gurus and senior devotees within ISKCON.
Those who were aspiring to be initiated by Trivikrama Swami are advised to take shelter of another ISKCON guru for initiation per the standard guidelines of the society.
Those first initiates of Trivikrama Swami who aspire for second initiation are also advised to seek the shelter of another ISKCON guru and seek initiation there.
Although Trivikrama Swami has decided to distance himself from the ISKCON society, those he initiated are directed, strongly encouraged, and fully welcome to continue to serve within ISKCON.
Although Trivikrama Swami has decided to distance himself from the ISKCON society, those he initiated are directed, strongly encouraged, and fully welcome to continue to serve within ISKCON.
Those who were initiated by Trivikrama Swami are considered devotees in good standing and may continue to perform services as their status, as first or second initiates, grants them. As initiates in ISKCON, all disciples are brought into a sacred connection with our Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya and the Lord. If the current link of a chain of spiritual authorities goes away, or breaks their connection, a disciple once connected via spiritual initiation remains connected to the parampara.

We hope that he will take to heart the severity of his mistakes, the need for guidance and purification, and the need to continue to humbly serve Srila Prabhupada within the ISKCON society.
For devotees adversely affected or disturbed by these events, especially those initiated by Trivikrama Swami, we offer our full support. ISKCON authorities, including individual GBC members and other ISKCON officers, are ready to offer you their help and guidance, and to assist in any way possible. We pray for your continued progress in spiritual life, despite these troubling disturbances and challenges.
Devotees who wish further clarification or advice on these matters are encouraged to reach out and discuss them with their local GBC representatives, or other ISKCON authorities. Or, you may directly contact the Governing Body Commission via its Communications Director at:

Resolution Removing Trivikrama Swami From Positions As Initiating Guru and Sannyasi in ISKCON
24 June 2025
Trivikrama Swami is no longer a sannyasi in ISKCON or an initiating guru in ISKCON.
The Sannyasa Standing Committee and the Guru Services Committees have made these decisions based on available evidence and discussions with Trivikrama Swami. Both committees have concluded that Trivikrama Swami has engaged in severe spiritual and moral deviations breaking the regulative principles. He has also rejected both committees’ recommendations and directions for his purification.
Trivikrama Swami has also decided to work outside of ISKCON and its authorities. This resolution is based on the following sections of the Sannyasa Ministry’s and the Guru Services Committee’s Policy Manual regarding removal of a devotee from these services:
From Sannyasa Policy Manual and Guru Services Policy Manual regarding removal of a sannyasi or initiating guru from ISKCON:
Removal
Under normal circumstances, a guru (or sannyasi) will be removed from being a guru (or sannyasi) in ISKCON only after being put on probation or suspension and not rectifying his situation.
In urgent situations, a guru may be removed from his position as a guru (or sannyasi) in ISKCON in case of the following: Severe spiritual, philosophical, or moral deviation.
Rebelling against and rejecting the authority of Śrīla Prabhupada, the GBC Body, or other regional, national or local ISKCON authorities.
