Pranada / Wolves In Saffron / PADA's Peers / KS Dasi / Cows 01 20 26

PADA: Dear God, please save this bewildered soul. Pranada Dasi was Satsvarupa's love interest. And I recall some people were blaming her for "bringing Satsvarupa down and ruining ISKCON." Sheesh, there is some real victim support right there! 

And after seeing how so many "men gurus" fall down, get sick, and die early -- from taking karma -- now she wants WOMEN to start taking karma, so they too can get sick, fall down and die. What! 

And she was gloating that Jayapataka gave her some sort of reward for her books, well OK -- but when the leader of the Aushwitz for kids program gives you a medal of honor, you are in trouble. 

Now she is "appealing" to Sivarama swami to make women into diksha gurus, whooaa! If you have to appeal to Sivarama to make the right choice then -- Sivarama is NOT a guru -- if he needs your correcting and chastising! And if you really are -- the next in line parampara guru -- you would just go out and be the guru, you would not need the rubber stamp of these foolish folks. Just go out and do your guru thing! You might do better than the current lot, who knows! 

But overall her mood seems to be a little bit somber, sad, morose, spaced out, depressed, and about as lively as a slug walking across my driveway. Yep, hate to say this about anyone, but someone squeezed all the orange juice out of this poor woman -- and all that is left is the discarded peel. 

OK we all know who messed up her life, and it was the GBC guru clown show. Another life turned into a mess, thanks to all their psychological manhandling. I feel bad for her, honest! She wants to see women suffer the same way all these GBC men guru clowns got sick, fell down and -- died. That means she has been infested with guru -brain - eating - itus, which can be fatal materially and spiritually. 

PRANADA SAYS:

I've just released a video response to Sivarama Swami.

"Unveiled: Behind ISKCON's Debates about Vaishnavi Diksa Gurus" traces the decades - long conversation about Vaishnavis offering diksa — what’s at stake RIGHT NOW as we approach the GBC meetings. The moratorium is over, but Indian leaders are not giving up.

Please watch and share it widely so this truth-filled history and call for unity reaches every devotee still waiting to be seen and heard.

* Leaked meeting minutes from ISKCON Indian leaders meeting
* Personal message to Sivarama Swami

Unveiled: Behind ISKCON's Debates about Vaishnavi Diksa Gurus

She thinks ISKCON India is going to break away from the USA. It already has. Lokanath was told he was not welcome in the USA, and he is the biggest guru in India. Lets have them implode on themselves.

WOLVES IN SAFFRON 

PADA: This is the trailer for an upcoming series on the "pure activities" of the post-1978 GBC gurus. "Wolves in Saffron." It is really a true and good title. Had the ISKCON society been guided by ritviks or managers, and not "pure devotee gurus" this problem would have been fixed when we first brought it up in 1978. Instead the "pure devotee gurus" got rid of us and kept the mistreatment going on. 

But yeah I understand the other side of the coin, this is sad when we have to expose ISKCON's dirty laundry. It makes a bad impression of ISKCON. At the same time, we cannot allow people to think ISKCON's dirty laundry is the real pure program. And we cannot allow people to become victims of their bogus guru cults, especially -- women and children.

PADA AND PEERS

PADA: I should work with my peers? My peers had me chased out of ISKCON and then they sent their enforcers to take me out of my body, and I was only saved by help from the FEDS. 

I also had to sue my peers for mass child mistreatment. They never discuss any of this with me, they use force, restraining, oppressing and so on -- against me only. Your family is wise, do not help people who promote false acharyas, better to stop doing that. 

Your shiksha, diksha gurus and peers cannot answer my points, that is not new, they cannot answer me since 1979. Srila Prabhupada says when a guru has an amorous affair with a disciple, it is the same as a father having an amorous affair with his own daughter. It is incest. And many -- or most -- of the GBC gurus have been falling into amorous affairs with their disciples -- which Srila Prabhupada confirms -- is a form of incest. 

Meanwhile, Srila Prabhupada also says, the uncivilized tribal people, aborigines or cave men societies worship something wonderful in God's creation -- such as the sun, moon, a huge mountain etc. In other words the tribals, aborigines and cave men never worship an incest guru program, they worship something wonderful in Krishna's creation. Why doesn't the GBC come up to the standards of the tribals and cave men, and worship something nice and not falling down intoxicated womanizers? You, and none of them, are able to answer, that is the real point. ys pd

KS DASI

Update on this post. I spoke with my son about the incident that has scarred him for life although he doesn’t realize it as much as I do. The other boys were not beaten. My son was singled out and beat on his back until he had welts and blood. The gurukuli in the ashram the rascal Mayapur Chandra (who has been profiled on this page for accepting donations for the Radha Kund widows but has disappeared with his wife because the money which apparently was being taken by them to travel and lead a comfortable lifestyle) was the kid who started the trouble because he taken someone’s chewable vitamins, but wouldn’t admit it so my son was singled out by this man. 

No doubt Mayapur would not get in trouble because of who his father is and that is the well-known devotee Sruta Kirti das. I am incredulous that so many people on this post will defend the child abuser. My son is the kindest gentlest devotional person anyone could know. He has always been close to me and we have always been open to talking about things. I had never doubted his word. In fact I have spoken with the kind hearted ashram teacher who left Rupa in charge that day and he admitted it happened. 

Of course, like all the victims of child abuse my son felt guilty but especially because he was afraid of being offensive to devotees in spite of all that he went through in this life mostly because of abuse within ISKCON. We had not spoken of this until today for many years. 

He recalled how he thought about how he wished Rupa Manohar dead for the painful abuse but now at age 50 he’s just too tired of the world and has just let it go. He shrugged his shoulders and had very little reaction when I told him that Rupa had passed from this world.

I found out today a disciple of Srila Prabhupada named Rupa Manohar das passed away yesterday in Maui. He was the first devotee that caused bodily pain to my son (5 years old at the time along with 4 other boys) in the small ashram at New Navadwipa Honolulu 1979. The boys were beaten badly with a bamboo cane as they lay upon their floor beds. 

Rupa Manohar was not the ashram teacher. The ashram teacher and his wife were wonderful devotees. They had left Rupa Manohar in charge so they could do some errands. When they found out what had happened they were very upset and angry. He was never allowed to be in charge of the young 5-6 years olds ever again. 

The beating was the first my small son had ever experienced. He has never forgotten and neither have I. I’m aware that we have to find it in our hearts to forgive, and my son is a good example. He says he has forgiven everyone that hurt him beat him, abused him throughout his years in gurukula. As a mother, it’s more difficult for me. Understanding that this person knowingly and purposely caused pain and harm to your child is a hard pill to swallow. I pray that you Rupa will have a better birth in the next life and not beat on children.

COWS NOT PROTECTED  

When "cow protection" becomes a justification for cow slaughter.

The GBC ISKCON has a Sastric Advisory Committee (SAC)—a structure designed to protect the purity of the teachings and prevent distortions of the shastras. This is why it is especially dangerous when a member of such a council publicly promotes ideas that effectively destroy the very dharma of cow protection.
This refers to the position of Hari Prashad das, a member of the SAC, who asserts that only Indian (desi) cows are "real cows," while the rest allegedly do not fall under the shastric category of "go" and, therefore, can be slaughtered.
This is not a petty terminological debate. It is an ideological landmine.

What is the distortion of the sastras?

Their arguments rely on fragmentary citations from Jiva Goswami and logical treatises, where the word gavaya (forest bison) is mentioned solely in the context of a logical analogy, not a biological or ethical definition of a cow.

From the simple statement "gavaya is like a cow," they falsely conclude that there exists a category of "pseudo-cows" that can be excluded from the defense.
The sastras do not define cows by breed, geography, or selection. A cow is a species, not a marketing or national construct. Otherwise, one would have to admit that a German person is "not a person," and an Indian dog is "more of a dog" than all others. Absurd.

Practical Consequences.

This philosophy has already led to tragic results: hundreds of cows have been slaughtered because someone authoritatively declared, "These are not real cows." Moreover, such ideas are publicly voiced even at GBC ISKCON cow protection conferences, where the thesis "Non-Indian cows can be killed" is voiced—and no one objects.

Who benefits? Only the cow killers. This doctrine provides religious justification for the slaughter of 80–90% of cows under the guise of "shastric accuracy." Why the "personal opinion" argument doesn't work.

A member of the Sastra Advisory Board remains an authority outside of 

meetings. You can't be a guardian of the Sastras on Monday and publicly distort them on Tuesday.

If a doctor promotes dangerous quackery on his personal blog, the hospital can't say, "That's his personal opinion." Manipulating the Sastras is not a "difference of opinion." It's a sign of incompetence.

Srila Prabhupada's Position.

Srila Prabhupada never taught that only Indian cows were sacred. He wanted to import Western breeds to Vrindavan, calling them cows and demanding protection for all. The idea of "selectively sanctifying cows" is a modern invention that contradicts the spirit and letter of the parampara.

Silence as complicity.

He who knows the truth and remains silent becomes an accomplice to sin.
The silence of leaders in this situation is not neutrality, but complicity in adharma.

Conclusion.

If we justify killing cows of the "wrong breed," we are no longer defending dharma—we are betraying it, hiding behind Sanskrit. Truth does not need manipulation. And a cow does not need a passport.
