BHAGAVAT MAHARAJA HEALTH CRISIS
Unfortunately he is promoting Tamal's BFF, cheer leader and supporter Narayan Maharaja. NM was in Texas yelling at my associates when we were in Texas having Tamal sued for $400,000,000. NM has been a full on supporter of Tamal's homosexual and pedophile messiah's club. I don't wish any of them, or even Badrinarayan, unwell, but there is a certain karma that engages when we support deviants as acharyas. ys pd

OK someone who reads PADA says that I should NOT tell people who are inside ISKCON now -- to stay there -- once they agree with us and become Prabhupadanugas. They should leave and not participate in ISKCON. OK because then they will be under the control of the evil GBC. I said but what happens if they leave and they get into trouble finding a situation outside of ISKCON, as sometimes happens?
Well too bad, they have to depend on Krishna.
Wait. There were many great devotees of Krishna who were serving evil Kings like Kamsa when Krishna was here. Krishna does not order them to leave. Why would I order them to all leave if Krishna will not?
No, if you are there -- even if you are with the evil Kings -- and you have no other good options, then stay there and preach on the subtle platform that people should worship the acharya. OK just like Vidura was preaching in the house of the Kauravas.
Of course, if you can leave and find a better situation, that is also fine. But PADA's policy is, do not tell people to leave their situation unless some practical plan to re-situate them is organized.
Jumping ship prematurely does not always work out well when people leave a situation, even if it is a bad one. In sum, I believe that any person has their own individual nature and they can still worship a pure devotee in any situation if they are sincere. A lot of devotees left the institution, but that does not mean they have the correct siddhanta automatically. Apart from that, I am glad to have some sorts of spies and agents in different locations, who read the blog etc. -- and why not?
This complainer has no spies anywhere, and almost no effect anywhere, because he cannot be trusted with confidential info. If we read Krishna book, we find that the residents of Vrndavana had spies embedded in Kamsa's empire giving them constant updates, that is also done under Krishna's direction. Krishna authorizes that process, why wouldn't PADA?
Of course nowadays we do not have so many PADA friendly folks in ISKCON since the Westerners are mostly gone. But we still do have at least some folks reading our blog while living at ISKCON temples, and we appreciate their readership.

SRIDHARA MAHARAJA

SRIDHARA MAHARAJA
PADA: Yes, in 1979 I was complaining that "His Divine Grace Srila Jayatirtha Tirthapada Maharaja" was engaged in an affair with a female (there was a photo) and he was offering LSD to the shalagram, and he was saying LSD is "Radhe's feet dust." And he was openly lecturing that his original guru is Timothy Leary (LSD professor) and Jayatirtha is now going to blend Leary's teachings into ISKCON.
So when I approached the GBC to complain, they foisted transcripts of their "talks with BR Sridhara Maharaja" saying -- "none should protest" "do not disturb the faith of the sisyas" etc. because BR Sridhara Maharaja was now "the advisor" to the GBC gurus, and he was promoting Jayatirtha as an acharya. So we were stopped from complaining out of the gate by the "advice" of one of the Gaudiya Matha leaders, same leader who made a fake acharya after 1936.
Later on I was complaining about Tamal, and I was in Dallas Texas -- suing Tamal for $400,000,000 for child mistreatment - (my second time in Dallas having sued Tamal before in 1986) and BV Narayan Maharaja was also in Texas -- and he was promoting Tamal and telling people I was making aparadha to "the dear Tamal tree of Radha." So again, outside "advisors" were trying to stop our efforts to clean out the false gurus and re-establish the worship of the bona fide acharya Srila Prabhupada.

So again, outside "advisors" were trying to stop our efforts to clean out the false gurus and re-establish the worship of the bona fide acharya Srila Prabhupada.
So when my associates went to the Dallas temple at that same exact time -- BV Narayan was telling them what a nonsense I am etc. Later on, BV Narayan Maharaja invited me to his ashram to discuss all this, and he left me sitting for 10 hours without seeing me, then he left the property without ever seeing me once. He knew that the Dallas courts were taking my side against Tamal and he had a weak case to defend these folks. OK BVNM had no case at all.
Meanwhile Sanatsevajay and others are making themselves the next acharya by saying they are our new authority, and the ritviks need to listen to him and not the directions from Srila Prabhupada to only worship a pure devotee and not these upstart wanna be acharyas. The good news is, all these "advisors and new authorities" have been discredited gradually over the decades, and more and more people are realizing, we "ritviks" were right all along, only worship of a pure devotee is the authorized process BY KRISHNA and not their worship of ersatz gurus, conditioned souls and acharya imitations.

Moreover, all the problems and scandals that have happened over the decades are ample proof, worship of conditioned souls -- does not work --because it is not authorized BY KRISHNA. Acharyam mam vijnaniyam, shastra never says conditioned souls are Krishna's acharyas. If they are not pure, they are not acharyas. But yeah, the GBC annointed outsiders as our "advisors" and "seniormost Vaishnavas" etc. -- to get them to prop up the false guru appointment, because they could not get us to prop them up, we were challenging instead. ys pd
Jamesnewsom5899: Sridhara Maharaja was still telling Jayatirtha to remain in the guru post even after 1984, after all sorts of problems were clear to all the rest of us. And as we all know, that ended badly for Jayatirtha. There was never any authority for anyone to promote Jayatirtha as an acharya, especially AFTER his scandals were widely known everywhere.

And as we all know, that ended badly for Jayatirtha. There was never any authority for anyone to promote Jayatirtha as an acharya, especially AFTER his scandals were widely known everywhere.
Sridhara Maharaja simply accepted that Jayatirtha is an acharya based on false information that we had never accepted. I said -- intoxicated persons -- having affairs with female disciples -- and who are offering LSD to the shalagram -- are NOT qualified to be acharya. My protest was then forwarded to Sridhara Maharaja by the GBC, and he said -- None should protest. Do not disturb the faith of the sisyas etc. and the GBC showed me his statements.
Sridhara made it impossible for us to protest, and he was ghost writing the early GBC papers. Remember "The Mahajanas Have Difficulties"? Sridhara was one of the contributors. The GBC are in Maya -- because so are the Mahajanas. That is not correct. The idea that acharyas are in Maya is considered as the mad elephant that destroys the bhakti garden, and we all know what happened then, Jayatirtha blooped and all of his followers blooped and the Zone went bankrupted.
Apart from that, an intoxicated predator and fallen person has no sisyas, he has no authority to act as diksha guru. As soon as I said these things, Sridhara tried to stop our protest -- and he did. He has no authority to tell me or anyone else that a fallen person is an acharya, that is not the siddhanta of the Vaishnavas. A fallen person is a fallen person, and I am one of them, and therefore myself and no one else has any authority to declare fallen persons as acharyas.
Nor does anyone have the authority to tell me I cannot protest fallen persons sitting in guru's seats in my guru's temple. No one has authority over my connection to my guru. I am trying to correct things and he is doing everything he can to impede and stop me. Oddly, Hansadutta had a huge 4 feet tall photo of himself with Sridhara Maharaja in the Berkeley temple even in 1985, because Sridhara was still telling Hansadutta to remain as guru.
Hansadutta told Sridhara -- I am having affairs with half dozen ladies, I am taking intoxicants, and I and depressed. And Sridhara said, yes but you have to remain in the guru post anyway. Hansadutta said that he almost ended his own life thanks to that advice "worst advice anyone ever gave me in my whole life, and it almost ended my life." It increased his depression and intoxication, and did almost end his life. Telling falling persons to promote themselves as Krishna's successors is not our siddhanta.
Sridhara Maharaja has no concept of what is a pure devotee, what is a fallen devotee, and who should be worshiped as Krishna's successor and who should not. He was a major contributor to these problems with his conditioned soul acharya's ideas. He annointed a conditioned soul as acharya in 1936 and Srila Prabhupada says "Sridhara Maharaja is responsible." That means, he is. But I agree with Hansadutta, telling a falling down person to stay in the Vyasa seat is -- the worst advice anyone can give the falling person. ys pd

ISKCON AFTER MODI: Spiritual Renaissance or the Collapse of "Guru Corp"?
The future of GBC ISKCON in 2026 hangs in the balance as the fall of Narendra Modi exposes deep-rooted links between the organization’s leadership and global shadow networks. Following the declassification of files that allegedly connect major donors of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP) to controversial international circles, the Mayapur project is facing its most significant crisis of trust in history.
The future of GBC ISKCON in 2026 hangs in the balance as the fall of Narendra Modi exposes deep-rooted links between the organization’s leadership and global shadow networks. Following the declassification of files that allegedly connect major donors of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP) to controversial international circles, the Mayapur project is facing its most significant crisis of trust in history.
Why Modi’s Departure is a "Black Swan" for the GBC?
The greatest risk to GBC ISKCON following Narendra Modi’s exit is the loss of the political "shield" that for years protected the organization from institutional scrutiny. Modi was not just a supporter; he was the guarantor that ISKCON’s expansion in India—often led by Western factions—would proceed unchallenged by traditionalists and local regulators.
The End of Political Lobbying: The new Indian government rising in mid-2026 is laser-focused on "civilizational decolonization." Officials are already demanding a transparent audit of the billions of dollars funneled into the TOVP.
The Domino Effect: Without the PM's backing, GBC ISKCON leaders who were once "state guests" are now facing public scrutiny over their ties to Western foundations mentioned in recent global investigative reports.
Financial Paralysis: With the bank accounts of several high-profile U.S. donors frozen amidst international legal battles, the completion of the TOVP’s grand interior is now under a massive question mark.
The Temple of the Vedic Planetarium: Occupied by Elites or a Return to Roots?
The fate of the TOVP after 2026 depends on whether the movement can purge the influence of globalists who sought to turn it into a "metaphysical power base" for their own agendas. Instead of a center for Bhakti (devotion), the temple risked becoming an elite club where Vedic science was blended with "New World Order" ideologies.

Instead of a center for Bhakti (devotion), the temple risked becoming an elite club where Vedic science was blended with "New World Order" ideologies.
Nationalization of Meaning: There is a high probability that the Indian government may impose external oversight in Mayapur to ensure the TOVP remains a national heritage site, effectively taking the keys away from "corporate gurus."
Exorcising the "Shadow" Influence: Rank-and-file devotees worldwide are demanding an ideological audit: How did Srila Prabhupada’s teachings become entangled with the corporate interests of the world’s wealthiest 1%?
The Great Purge: What Awaits the Devotees?

The Great Purge: What Awaits the Devotees?
ISKCON’s future in the post-Modi era is a period of painful "detox," where the organization must choose between its bank balance and its soul. In 2026, we are witnessing the birth of a "New ISKCON"—potentially poorer in wealth, but far richer in spirit.
Mass GBC Resignations: Leaders seen in photos with controversial global figures are being forced out by the pressure of local temple communities.
A Return to Simplicity: A shift away from Davos-style forums and a return to street chanting (Harinama) and self-sufficient farm communities.
Schism or Unity? The movement may split between a "liberal wing" that pivots fully into corporate coaching and an "orthodox wing" that restores ISKCON's original mystical purpose.
Summary for Those Seeking the Truth.

Summary for Those Seeking the Truth.
In the post-Modi era, ISKCON will cease to be a "fashionable" accessory for politicians and billionaires. This will be a difficult transition, but it is exactly what is needed to wash away the occult distortions brought to Mayapur by global elites. The temple will be completed—but its master will no longer be a "Board of Directors"; it will be the sincere souls for whom God is more important than geopolitics.
Should the TOVP be placed under government or independent oversight to clear it of globalist influence?
