My devotee is never lost to Me.
PADA: Srila Prabhupada says that anyone who does not accept that we originated with Krishna is tinged with Mayavada. He is our current acharya, and he started the Back to Godhead idea as our acharya. Of course yes, saying some special blessed souls start with God, and some lesser fortunates do not, is the Catholic church idea, it is mundane religion.
To say some higher souls are blessed to be in heaven, and some lesser souls are cursed to fall and then go to hades, is the same thing I was told in Catholic church. The angels stay there, you poor bums do not, because God pre-selects who stays and who fails. I am not a follower of the Catholics anymore, I accept that all souls are equally loved and they all start out with the same opportunity. Yes, of course the Catholic Church idea is good for some folks, we fell because God goofed and did not make us angels in heaven with Him, therefore, let me go grab a beer and blame God for me being here! It is called blaming God, and that is not our siddhanta. We are to blame, not God. ys pd
After telling Elle Magazine that eating meat is "inherently wrong" and that you cannot genuinely love animals while also eating them, Billie Eilish was hit with the predictable wave of online backlash — accusations of privilege, condescension, and being "out of touch." "The internet went ballistic."
KRATU DAS DEPARTS
AND HE WAS A HUMBLE GUY!
OK prabhu, Kratu das is "a very humble gentleman and his wife is also very kind hearted and so PADA, you are wrong to criticize them." Wait? Kratu is humble because he thinks "I am able to absorb sins (as a diksha guru) because I am equal to Jesus." Sorry, this is not considered as "very humble" in the Western world.
The consensus of the karmi public here is -- this person is suffering from a GIANT ego problem, with barely a shred of humility. "Me and Jesus are equals, we can both take sins" is considered the worst case of ego-mania here in the West. It is not accepted here at all.
Kratu das was also in charge of Vancouver when they had a pile of photos of GBC gurus near the altar -- so they could offer bhogha to this guy or that guy. A Vancouver devotee told me "there are more guru pictures than there are devotees living in the temple. The temple is empty most of the time."
And then Kratu's program had a Prabhupadanuga and his family kicked out of the temple, and he was one of their best kirtan people there. And his family was doing all sorts of other important services there. Anyone who worships Srila Prabhupada? Banned and not needed!
Then the banned devotee started his own kirtan program, which many people attended at his house, and the temple complained he was "competing with ISKCON." Nope, he just wants to glorify Krishna and the GBC makes that a crime.
The ISKCON temple was basically made into a ghost town by Kratu das. But why does Kratu want people to offer bhogha to photos of people in a homosexual and pedophile guru lineage?
Sorry, the Western consensus is -- a person who claims himself and Jesus are of the same sin absorbing capacity -- sounds like a highly inflated ego, a person who has a higher estimation of themselves than 9999.9999% of the population. Of course there have been a number of people in Bellevue mental home who also thought they and Jesus are the same.
But the average Western person never even dreams they have the same identical capacity as another Jesus. So people in the West would think he is highly narcissistic, is suffering from megalomania, delusions of grandeur, imperious overlord thinking, and he is declaring he is more potent and powerful than all the rest of the world's citizens, even other Vaishnavas, because he is another Jesus-like successor to God no less and etc.
Where is the humility when someone announces he is no less than God's living spokesman, successor, and Jesus like -- sin absorbing -- messiah on earth? Ok there is none. Add to that, we have to FORCIBLY accept that he is God's living spokesman and another Jesus, or we will be banned, beaten, sued and killed for disagreeing. How humble is that?
And Kratu's program spent $20,000,000 trying to sue the Bangalore devotees, so they could shut down a program that feeds millions of kids -- by having the directors placed in jail. How humble is it when your aim and object of life is to sue people who are feeding children, all at the same time -- your program is being sued for $400,000,000 for NOT FEEDING CHILDREN.
Sorry, none of this looks humble, especially in the West. Suing programs that feed children is considered as highly obnoxious and abominable here in the West, it is not acceptable here. Trying to starve thousands of children is considered essentially as demoniac in the West, nothing humble about it.
And that is why these GBC guru people are only big gurus in India, and their temples here are empty. No one here wants to worship a megalomaniac Jesus wanna-be, it is not going to fly in the West, and it isn't. And it is not humble one iota to think "me and Jesus are equals," after you are voted into a homosexual and pedophile messiah's club.
I don't see any evidence their program is humble. Their program will ban us, beat us, sue us, and -- kill us. And mass molest children. To say this is humble is "placing a velvet glove on the iron fist" as Sulochana said all the time. It makes a dangerous situation for anyone who wants to worship the actual pure devotee, they can end up -- harassed, banned, beaten, sued and -- dead, and they have been. Their program does not act humbly, and to say it is -- is dangerous.
Meanwhile Srila Prabhupada says -- a person who acts as guru and take sins without authority -- can take future birth as a snake, the disciples can take birth as ants, and the ants will then eat the snake alive. And Kratu's humble wife did not ever seem to warn him or any of them of how this ends for fake messiahs, rather she encouraged all this. So she is part of the problem. "I am as good as Jesus," is considered as the highest amount of low class ego-ism in the West, it will never be accepted here.
Anyway I wish him well, honest! But he fought hard to defend his homosexual and pedophile guru's brotherhood, and he will have to answer for that, and all the thousands and thousands of people who are victims of his process.

BILLIE EILISH
She didn't blink.
Eilish took to Instagram to tell critics to stop "living a lie" and shared footage documenting the realities of industrial animal agriculture to her 124 million followers.
The "privilege" criticism is one of the oldest deflections in the book — a way of making the discomfort of cognitive dissonance someone else's problem rather than reckoning with the substance of what she said.
She's been vegan since she was twelve years old, her tour funded 7.7 million plant-based meals for people experiencing homelessness, and she's using one of the biggest platforms in pop music to say what most advocates are afraid to say plainly: you can love animals or eat them, but you cannot claim to do both.
PADA: Right MMD prabhu, she is doing more to spread animal welfare and stopping cow killing than all of ISKCON combined. Agreed.

PADA: Thanks prabhu. ISKCON is not the only religion showbottle out there, there are lots of other examples. Kali Yuga's "irreligion becomes religion." Yup! And the result is -- people reject religion, also yup!
