Alleged Mayapur "Land MAFIA" Leader Assassinated

[PADA: Is this guy's murder connected to the ISKCON Mayapur Land MAFIA? We are told these folks have paid goondas who have stolen tractors, stolen well pumps, poisoned wells, and destroyed crops etc. to force farmers to leave their property, so they could grab the property  -- making them highly unpopular among the locals. I don't know. Anyway, let us know if you have more info angel108b@yahoo.com ]

Dear devotees, please say a prayer for this devotee and his family:

"In a sad and shocking turn of events, a Mayapur community devotee, Rashik Shekhar Das, was shot dead in his office in Gournagar, just adjacent to the ISKCON property in Mayapur, West Bengal.

The victim was shot point blank four times during the attack, which took place on the night of February 1st, between 6:45 and 7:00pm.

“This was not a random incident but a planned attack,” said Balakrishna Seva Das, speaking on behalf of the Mayapur Secretariat Office.

Police are currently investigating the case, and are holding a suspect. They have also recovered CCTV footage showing two people with covered faces in the office at the time of the shooting.

ISKCON Mayapur has made contact with State Police authorities so that the case will be given due diligence, and are hoping that it will be solved and a motive found.
The victim, Rashik Shekhar Das, was a Mayapur community member involved in several businesses, including ghee production and land sales.

Mayapur managers requested the community that they should "inform the ISKCON Security Office if any of the community members feel any threat to their personal security, or see any suspicious activities in the community,” Balakrishna Seva Das said".

Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura: About Plagues and Pandemics

This short article, "Vaiṣṇavera Vyavahāra Duḥkha" [ The Worldly Difficulties of a Vaiṣṇava ] was published in the 10th Volume, 2nd Issue of Sajjana Toṣaṇī in 1898. Herein, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura explains the difference between the difficulties encountered by a Vaiṣṇava and those of a non-Vaiṣṇava. Towards the end of the article he speaks about the Bubonic Plague which broke out at the end of 1897 and was still a huge threat in Kolkata at the time of writing.

Here is the article:

There are many human beings in the world and they are divided into two groups, Vaiṣṇavas and non-Vaiṣṇavas. Those who are bereft of bhakti, be they a scholar, a rich man, a strong man, a brāhmaṇa, a king or his subject – they are all non-Vaiṣṇavas. One who has bhakti, whether he is a householder or a sannyāsī, whether he is rich or poor, whether he is a scholar or a fool, whether he is weak or strong, he is a Vaiṣṇava.

The various physical and mental activities of the Vaiṣṇvavas, just like the non-Vaiṣṇavas while journeying in the physical body, can be difficult. All such difficulties encountered by Vaiṣṇavas are not real difficulties, but are temporary, just like the difficulties of those travelling to Vaikuṇṭha – thus those difficulties are eventually severed. In this regard, Śrī Vṛndāvana Dāsa Ṭhākura has written:

yata dekha vaiṣṇavera vyavahāra-duḥkha
niścaya jāniha sei parānanda-sukha
viṣaya-madāndha saba kichui nā jāne
vidyā-made, dhana-made vaiṣṇava nā cine

“Know for certain that whatever so-called worldly distress is seen in a Vaiṣṇava is actually the greatest happiness. People intoxicated with pride due to sense enjoyment know nothing. They cannot recognize a Vaiṣṇava due to pride born of knowledge and wealth.”

[ Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khāṇḍa 9.240-241 ]

The meaning is that this mortal life of non-Vaiṣṇavas is everything. The pain they suffer is easily exacerbated. Despite their best efforts to alleviate this suffering, their pain cannot be eradicated. In this way, their lives are spent in torment. On the other hand, we should understand that the worldly life of exalted devotees is a temporary journey. 

Thus, the temporary worldly distress in their lives is spent with complete disregard since they are under the influence of pure spiritual happiness. Therefore, O brothers, in this world, only the gems of hari-bhakti have been collected carefully. Be counted amongst the Vaiṣṇavas and do not consider yourself as a non-Vaiṣṇava.

Fearing this plague is the mentality of a non-Vaiṣṇava. Look brothers! What can this plague do to you? What real harm can the plague do by ending this useless life? If you desire some benefit, learn a lesson from the plague. If you are caught by the plague, then your life is over. Imagine where your wealth and happiness will go! Therefore, without wasting your time uselessly, constantly and sincerely chant hari-nāma with devotion. Then billions of plagues cannot do anything to you.

Hanuman Croatia Attacks Kailash Chandra

Hanuman Croatia Attacks Kailash Chandra

Hanuman Croatia: Conclusion

See, (Kailash Chandra is) exactly the same process as in ISKCON. No debate, no rational arguments, only Gestapo resolutions. At this point, I am wondering what is the difference between ISKCON and Kailasa Candra.

So, if you want to be a believer in Vaisnava Foundation, you have to believe the following:

All ISKCON gurus are not gurus. They are cheaters and their initiation is bogus.

The only bona fide disciple of Srila Prabhupada is Kailasa Candra, but he is, unfortunately, not giving initiations.

So, ISKCON gurus give bogus initiations, Kailasa Candra is not giving initiations, but If you insinuate that Kailasa Candra does not recognize the importance of diksha, you are out of his “line”.

[PADA: Unfortunately Hanuman Croatia still says the same thing as Kailash: i.e. we cannot initiate people on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. Rather, we have to make pretend conditioned souls: -- can take acharya's worship; can absorb sins like Jesus; should have their feet washed by the matajis; should have big houses, cars and servants; should be worshiped as Krishna loka liberated souls etc., when they are only on the kanistha platform, or less than that. 

Actually Hanuman STILL says that persons voted into his homosexual pedophile guru program like GBC Sridhar swami are bona fide gurus. That means Hanuman finds deviants to be his gurus, he cannot even worship the ordinary street trash man who is more elevated than his pedophile guru lineage members. The street trash man is an honest man who would never participate in a pedophile guru process, so Hanuman cannot even find and worship such an honest man. 

Thus! Some of the "liberated souls" Hanuman wants us to worship as our gurus are Radhanath's best friends like GBC's Sridhar swami, Bhakti Vikas swami and / or Bhakta das who says Radhanath baba is "a saint." So we STILL have to stay connected to the Radhanath baba program and worship members of the GBC's homosexual and pedophile guru program in order to attain Krishna, according to Hanuman Croatia. 

We cannot tell people to worship Srila Prabhupada as the acharya because then "we will be Christians," so let us give our sins to Radhanath baba's pals and they will act like Jesus and take our sins. And let us bury pedophiles in the dham so our children can go there and bow down to the founder fathers of a child raping society, who also were having oral sex with minors etc. 

Why do we still need to be tethered to that society, like Hanuman Croatia is, because he is still saying GBC gurus like GBC Sridhar are bona fide? Bona fide because, he is voted into the illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara - that bans, beats, molests, sues and -- kills us? He worships one of the bigger members of the GBC guru gestapo society, then he complains about others being gestapo?]    

So, ISKCON people are religious formalists, at the core of their philosophy is a Christian idea that by receiving initiation from ISKCON guru, you are “saved”, just like in the Christian baptism. On the contrary, Srila Prabhupada explains that initiation is worthless if you don’t actually receive transcendental knowledge from the guru.

[PADA: And who is "the guru" according to Hanuman Croatia? Tamal's big friend Sridhar swami, also one of the biggest promoters (and boot lickers of) Radhanath baba. Did I forget to mention, Sridhara swami is departed. Hanuman is thus worshiping a departed person, just like the Christians also worship a so-called departed person; just like us Prabhupadanugas also worship a so-called departed person. He is doing what we are doing, except his departed person is a member of the oral sex with Taxi drivers in the dham parampara, oral sex with minors parampara, burying pornography swamis in the dham parampara, and we are not.

So we cannot worship a departed person, unless that person is a member of the illicit sex with men, women and children (and maybe goats?), drunks, porno swamis, orchestrators of murders -- Hanuman "guru parampara"? Hypocrisy. Which is why Jesus says, "oh ye hypocrites, sons of vipers."]

Kailasa Candra is also a religious formalist because he believes that ISKCON initiation is the “work of the devil” and if you were ever initiated in ISKCON, you have to reject this initiation otherwise you are going to hell.

[PADA: There is no initiation when the guru is bogus. Initiation means to receive divyam jnanam that destroys sins, and unless that occurs, there is no factual connection to Krishna being made. Our people are being connected factually because they are being told to listen to the pure devotee, as such they are getting the divyam jnanam that destroys sins. 

We have a path for people to be connected, so we are the people giving actual diksha aka diivyam jnanam that destroys sins. Worshiping a member of the homosexual pedophile guru program like Hanuman does is not a source of knowledge, it is a source of foolishness and cheating. So we tell people to consider that their GBC guru was supposed to initiate on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, so just keep your initiated name but convert your worship over to the pure devotee and reject worship of the pedophile messiah's club.]

Both ideas are ridiculous. Both ISKCON people and Kailasa Candra actually display mayavadi tendencies. A mayavadi way of thinking is that all living entities are created in batches: “I and my followers have to think in exactly the same way, we are all one.” If you think differently from me, even a 1% difference, you will be kicked out. Both ISKCON and Kailasa Candra are trying to create mental clones that think in a 100% same way as their master.

If we want to make progress on the path of Krishna consciousness, we have to understand that Krishna created all living entities differently. This is His supreme power. Thus, no two living entities will think in the exactly same way. Therefore, religious leaders must understand that there will never be a time where everybody will think in the exactly same way.

Instead of being happy that people chant Hare Krishna and read Srila Prabhupada’s books, Gestapo authorities always want to make everybody think exactly as their being told, which will never be possible.

The great decoupling

I personally don’t want to be associated with anti-intellectual foundations, individuals, or organizations. And I expect people who attend my weekly meetings to be rational, to understand that nobody will ever agree with you on 100% of philosophical topics. So, fundamentalist rtviks, Vaisnava foundation members, ISKCON GBC blind believers, none of those people are welcome to my weekly meetings. They are simply boring people, they can discuss philosophy amongst themselves.

[PADA: Well hee hee, we told Hanuman that Bhakti Vikas swami is bogus and Kailash is bogus and so on and so forth a long time ago. He is just catching up in stages. He is still a complete Mayavada because he cannot identify the guru who is giving divyam jnaman that destroys sins. 

He has no bona fide guru, so he sticks with Radhanath baba's best friends and he wants us to stay with his homosexual pedophile's guru process. Hanuman Croatia has no idea, Sridhara is also bogus because he was voted into a guru parampara by the same people who reinstate sex with taxi drivers in the dham as their Vishnupada acharya. He has no idea this whole process is bogus, as is anyone who participates. 

Anyway he is right, Kailash is bogus because Kailash thinks we are going to not have any initiated people to do the pooja in the temples, so there will be no one there to serve Krishna. He is a mayavada. ys pd] 

Kailash Chandra: The Guru of Nothing

More suicide details of Indradyumna Swami disciple.

 

From: Russia News

New details have emerged in the suicide of Indradyumna Swami's disciple.

Almost a week has passed since the death of Rasa Kishori and witnesses have appeared who speak of the conflict between Rasa Kishori and the local president of the Omsk temple and his wife. It is being investigated if it is possible they tried to push her to suicide, and a version of them "encouraging her to commit suicide" (a form of murder or orchestrated manslaughter) is also being considered, law enforcement agencies are investigating.

Here's what became known from local eyewitnesses:

"A case has been started. Is it suicide? Murder must be ruled out before talking about suicide or about causing somebody to commit suicide. And there is something to pay attention to, what still looks strange, according to relatives. Investigations are in progress."

It turns out that Rasa Kishori paid money to the president of the Omsk temple and his wife. She transferred a lot of money to local leaders. And then she was disappointed in them, and she started to lose confidence in the leadership. 

And there was a threat for the senior devotees that Rasa Kishori would tell people how she was being cheated. Most likely, the leaders had no intention of directly killing Rasa Kishori. Most likely, they hoped to defame her. 

It was rumored that she was engaged in black magic practices and associated with casting black arts spells using evil spirits (to discredit her). They relied on the fact that -- after ruining her name and reputation, fools will no longer trust her and will not take Rasa Kishori's confessions seriously. 

But she was a very emotional and impressionable girl, and thus very psychologically vulnerable. The theory being studied now: she was starting to understand that she was being deceived, she fell into a deep depression, besides, she faced intrigues into people seeking out her physical address etc. 

No one supported her, vice versa, they really treat her like dirt. And it is possible -- strong disappointment in the situation -- played a fatal role..."  

We will update as we get more news.

[PADA: Over the years we have heard so many examples of how people were cheated out of property, money, vehicles etc. For example, one lady told her guru she would inherit her mother's house. A few weeks later, she came home to find her mother had been stabbed to death. She went back crying to tell her guru the horrible news, and the first thing he said to her was "when are you going to sign over your house to me -- now that you inherited the house"? 

She became suspect that her guru had something to do with the death of the mother, and she asked me later what I thought? I said, I would not put it past these guys. Anyway, she also had all sorts of mental pain from the whole thing, thinking she may have indirectly caused her mother's death by telling the guru her mother was giving her the house. 

So much mental pain and anguish, which is quite understandable. OK that is merely one example out of so many we know of. Is this poor Russian girl also a victim of these ISKCON GBC guru tricksters? Well for starters, we have no reason not to think -- it is quite possible. One devotee said, at least they cannot exploit this woman anymore, that is the only positive thing about the whole story. ys pd]

L.A.D.: Whoever didn't contemplate suicide after their fake guru and fake iskcon were revealed to be a satanic anti-Krishna, anti-Prabhupada, anti-vaishnava, pro-child rape and abortion servants of Kali-that person didn't really invest their whole heart into the service which they've sincerely believed was a bona-fide service to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.

Most people remaining in fake iskcon remain unaffected by all this cheating because they themselves are opportunistic cheaters who are not really looking for the real thing anyway and there is no way they would care that much about all the carnage which is taking place in SatanCon to a degree to be willing to commit a suicide because of it.

Such kali chelas are manly after children to rape, easy money, free prostitutes, fake power or position etc.

How can i claim this with so much certainty? A few years back, after some of the ids's slimy coward enforcer disciples threatened to find and kill me for speaking about their pedophile pimp monkey guru, I've shared with them my home address on a public forum and invited them wholeheartedly to come and eat some knuckles.

What happened as a result? Not one from among the "tough" enforcer group has ever rung my doorbell even though I was close enough and I've offered to pay for their travel expense provided they be able to travel back after the meeting they insisted on.

Not one of those pathetic slimy cowardly eunuch asses ever came. Why? because they are not that strongly convinced that their their slimy pedo pimp monkey guru is worth dying for. Simple as that. 

To all such people, I wish many, many doses of vaccines very soon. Unfortunately, there are a lot of naive, innocent souls still being trapped in fake iskcon and they are worth speaking out for. I believe this poor lady could have been one of those unfortunate souls.

Srila Prabhupada said that being innocent / naive like an animal is not a great qualification. Such naivety can get you killed in SickCon. Therefore, we must know philosophy sufficiently for maya has many witch-like fake iskcon gurus in store for us if we don't do our homework.... and by that I mean, simply hearing directly from Srila Prabhupada and after hearing things which inevitably and most definitely are not in line with current GBC deviations, changes and inventions, run for your life...while you can.

Innocent deceived souls must be spoken to strongly and uncompromisingly at any cost in order for them to be saved from the clutches of self-made Putana gurus whenever opportunity presents itself. This is thankless task but it's well worth it.
Case in point, few years ago, I went to one iskcon forum and started verbally urinating on their turf, insulting their fake gurus openly, before my humble shoes in their face were shut down, one intelligent lady contacted me in private and inquired further.

She then decided that being associated with fake iskcon gurus was not something that appealed to her, thank God. Such simple guerrilla tactics are available to anyone. if we offer strong arguments backed by relevant quotes from Srila Prabhupada, we may be able to warn some innocent people, before they may feel compelled to commit suicide out of desperation.

Trying to rescue people from the clutches of kali chelas is highly confrontational activity but ultimately well worth it. Direct insults to aggressive servants of Putana gurus is big part of it. Trying to be a gentleman in a midst of such cruel war will not get us very far. Eunuchs should therefore not attempt it.

They should instead keep on amusing themselves with armchair philosophy along with attempting to apply vaishnava etiquette to the worst type of godless aggressors in existence-iskcon leadership.

Aggressors dressed in vaishnava uniforms who couldn't care less that hundreds of iskcon kids were brutally raped and tortured for decades. Srila Prabhupada said that when "our men" become mayavadi demons, they will be the worst. We were sternly warned for our benefit. Now it's up to us to do our best to engage in war which those blood-thristy demons pretending to be vaishnavas have brought upon us.

ISKCON / Radhanath / Going "Ritvik-Vada" aka Prabhupadanuga?

A letter from a reader in Hong Kong:

Dear Henry (Doktorski),

I finally ordered and read your book, Eleven Naked Emperors, and have just finished it today. In much the same spirit as when I wrote you upon having read "Killing for Krishna," I am again grateful to you for caring enough to have put so much time and effort as you clearly have into this account. I can’t adequately praise you.

There are two things I wanted to mention, for what ever they might be worth.
When I read "Killing for Krishna," one of the book’s qualities I found most remarkable was the degree to which you were able to present polemical views without yourself appearing to weigh in too much on one side or the other. I thought this was one of the book's most compelling strengths. 

While this quality is present as well in "Eleven Naked Emperors," it felt a little less so to me. And while I can easily understand why this might be the case, I feel it reduces this quality I was so struck with in "Killing for Krishna."

Where I noticed it most was in your discussion of Kirtanananda and Bhavananda. I felt you referred to them as "homosexual gurus" more often than necessary. (In my humble opinion.) I do realize that was in fact -- true! 

But this was already being made abundantly clear by everyone you were quoting. In some instances, given the context, all that was necessary was to mention they were having illicit sex while presenting themselves as renounced spiritual masters. That would have been enough. Pushing on the "homosexual guru” tag as narrator only made me question the bias of your presentation. 

Given the book’s entirety, please understand I consider this a small and somewhat nit-picky point. I’ll hope you’ll forgive me. I only mention it because I hope your book is widely read and taken seriously.

The other thing I thought to mention has to do with the Ritvik question within Iskcon. (I found your presentation of the differing views here really excellent.) I happened to be in the SF Bay area in the summer of 2019 and attended a program at Iskcon Silicon Valley where Radhanatha Swami held an initiation ceremony. I was struck by the fact that he very clearly told each initiate he was initiating them on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. I wasn’t expecting this. 

At the end of "Eleven Naked Emperors," Nityananda Dasa’s letter mentions that many Iskcon gurus are telling their disciples this, but I think it merits more pronounced mention in the book, somewhere in the chapter on Ritvik-vada. I find it significant.

I hope you’ll forgive my forwardness in volunteering these minor points. Mainly, I just wanted to thank you. I see that you have begun publishing your series on New Vrindavan and look forward to reading these in time.

With best regards,
Thomas D
Hong Kong

[PADA: Pretty much similar complaint we get here at PADA. We should not emphasize that there has been a "homosexual pedophile" problem, but the generic "an illicit sex problem." OK except -- most of the victims were boys and most of the perps were self evidently homosexual pedophiles. I am not sure how this issue could be sugar coated or revised without changing the history. 

That ALSO does not mean we are anti-homosexual per se. We have a number of homosexual friends and associates, including devotees, however these people agree with me that pedophiles are criminals and they need to be contained, if not arrested and jailed. Homosexuals in general can be devotees of some sort, and they should be given some sort of ability to gradually renounce their anarthas, just like all the rest of us.

As for the ritvik issue, yes more and more people are saying they are initiating on behalf of Prabhupada, and that is good. However there is still no clear and binding resolution or legislation from the GBC on this issue. So we still have some folks like Jayapataka claiming he is taking people's sins himself, so he is still claiming to be a self standing acharya, and so on and so forth. 

It is at best a confused situation where largely the old guard still retains their acharya status and some of the newer people are sometimes sympathetic to us. So our idea is moving forward -- albeit slowly -- and in a confused fashion.  Actually, they are being forced to adapt our idea more and more since their guru fall downs have proven -- as a class -- they are not fit to be worshiped as such, so they have to emphasize Srila Prabhupada more.

Meanwhile, even Hanuman Croatia is starting to realize that his gurus like Sridhara swami, Bhakti Vikas swami etc. are all taking orders from the old guard sinners, and as such they have no actual independence, so they are ALL corrupt. He is making progress, gradually. 

Now if he just quits quoting his favorite GBC position paper writer Kailash Chandra, the darling writer for the GBC's gurus like Trivrikrama swami, he might make more progress. We cannot simultaneously worship GBC gurus like Sridhar, who was Radhanath's best pal, and reform the situation. It is like trying to start a fire while pouring water on the wood. Kailash has not left the organization, he says that Srila Prabhupada is not the guru, and so does Jayapataka, they have the same identical apa-siddhanta, which is why some GBC folks have been distributing his writings. ys pd]   

Garuda Dasa Distributing Original Books

MY DEAR VAISHNAVA SISTERS AND BROTHERS! 

I offer all of you my affectionate pranamas. 

Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda! Just distributed about 100 original Macmillan version Bhagavad-gītā As It Is books to my students at the start of the spring semester. It is indeed a pleasure to be able to do so, and they'll be studying the book very carefully during the semester. The pic below show several boxes of books that I packed in the back of my car to avoid inside interactions. 

We're playing it very safe at my university. But you can see from the color of the sky that it was a beautiful sunny day. I hope this message meets all of you in good health and in thriving bhajan and sevā.

Short Discussion on "Devotees vs the Virus"

PADA: I think the Biden program is our best bet right now, because he at least understands the virus is not a hoax, and he will try some sort of fix to contain it -- so Krishna's temples can re-open. Right now many temples are not able to open, devotees cannot barely distribute books, harinama is very difficult etc. I am hoping there is some sort of relief, but we will have to see. ys pd

 AC: Wrong!

PADA: Well he is not saying it is a hoax? He is saying it is a problem, and it needs to be contained. That seems the only way forward.

AC: It's worse than a hoax.

A Dasi: PADA is being paid to promote misinformation. It is best to ignore him. Obviously the "virus" is the common cold with a fear hype attached as part of the agendacide.

PADA: I have three neighbors who live together and they all work as medical techs in the hospital. No, they are not part of a paid misinformation agenda. They said virus lungs are not the same as the flu or a cold, and that is why they have to give the patients oxygen, and if they cannot get the levels up, then they have to put the patients on a ventilator. People cannot survive without oxygen, I am not sure who is being paid to say otherwise. Sorry, without oxygen, people cannot live, that is just the way it is. There are also Krishna devotees who have got sick and some died, and other devotees are nurses working with this problem, and none of them are paid to make false claims. ys pd

A Das: My wife caught the virus in March and would have died without hospital treatment, and remains unable to walk for more than fifteen minutes or so before becoming exhausted, when previously she was walking four miles a day to pick up our granddaughter from school. I hope those who say it's just a cold or flu or a hoax don't end up being rushed to hospital next time they catch a cold.

V Dasa: I'm with Puranjana on this one. My stepdaughter also works in the hospital and states that this isn't some hoax. Bas!

===================

PADA to ND: I am not sure why you are worried about a chip that will track you placed in the vaccine. You are already being tracked if you have any form of digital devices. You seem to think you are not visible on digital communications, sorry, that is not the case. 

Meat Eating Creates More Pandemics? (Independent UK)

 https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/meat-coronavirus-pandemic-science-animals-b1794996.html?

ISKCON's Child Molesting Imbroglio / and Karma (VIDEO)

 

PADA: Why do children get abused and molested in any society? It is generally because the adults in that society failed to protect their own society's children, especially when we are discussing chronic or mass molesting cases. 

And! It is not really the main issue "if these children have the karma to be molested, or not." As he points out in this video, we cannot argue that to eat hamburgers is bona fide simply because "it is the karma of the cows to be made into hamburgers." Not a relevant point, because we are not the authorized agents of punishing others by dispensing karma to others. The bank may have the karma to be robbed, fine, but if you rob it, you are still a criminal.

Rather, when entangled people -- like us -- start to jump into dispensing punishing karma to others, we just get more entangled ourselves, because we have no authority to dispense evil karma punishments to others. Of course, we also have no authority to claim we are saints who are absorbing others sins and karma either, because that too entangles us. We are little teeny peanuts, and not the masters of removing other's karma, dispensing evil karma etc. 

Sorry! 

"The children are just getting karma" argument does not excuse our exploiting the children, or the cows, or any other living beings -- but especially ISKCON's children. We are still supposed to protect all of the cows anyway, whether they are "Kali Yuga cows" or not. We can not start to justify harming cows "because it is their karma." An ex-devotee here told me exactly that, he was now eating hamburgers because "the cows already had the karma to be made into hamburgers." No! 

OK that is not how it works, we are still responsible for harming others -- even if it is their karma to be harmed -- because we are not the authorized agents to dish out "bad karma" to other beings. Thus, child molesting was going on evidently left, right and center in and around ISKCON, sometimes using the excuse "the children had the karma to be abused." And according to one of the ex-victims, "it was going on 'in every nook and cranny of the society, so we (victims) had nowhere to hide.'" 

So that simply means, the ISKCON leaders / elders / seniors / oversight committees / watchdogs / overseers, i.e. the leaders and the senior elders of the society, did not take proper action to counteract this problem. Many of them evidently knew there was a problem, among many other problems, and they did not act to counter these problems. That is more or less self evident. And WORSE, many ISKCON citizens -- or maybe even most of them, opposed people like me and Sulochana when we reported that there is a child abuse problem. 

However, one thing most devotees know from the Bhagavad Gita is: one becomes what one worships. People who worship the forefathers go -- to be with them; those who worship demigods go -- to be with them; those who worship ghosts, businessmen, dictators or whatever it is -- become one of them, or become like them. So when a society worships sexual predators / homosexuals / if not pedophiles and criminals, then of course, the result will be that that influence will creep into "every nook and corner." "You will become what you worship," either individually or as a society. 

Indeed! "We become what we worship" is a square one, point "A" understanding of the Krishna religion. So what happens when ISKCON promotes the worship of deviants? No surprise! Then that influence will spread -- to every nook and cranny -- self evidently? 

And the (no surprise?) result of that influence is: ISKCON will attract deviants, defend deviants, aid and abet deviants, justify deviants, advocate for deviants, apologize for deviants, and potentially ban, beat, sue and kill those who oppose their infrastructure of glorifying and worshiping deviants. Again, no surprise since we become what we worship, individually and collectively.

Now when it comes to ISKCON's children, why would it be their "bad karma" to be trained to worship deviants, molesters, sexual predators, drunks, criminals and so on as their "eternal guru links to Krishna"? Srila Prabhupada said the demigods are waiting to take birth in ISKCON, ummm wait, so they can worship deviants? That is not what he said. He said everyone in ISKCON has to worship the pure devotee, whether men, women or children. Indeed the whole world has to worship pure devotees if it wants to be saved. Whereas worship of illicit sex with men, women and children, that will not save anyone anywhere.

Yet, the GBC and their position paper writing help mates like Sridhara Maharaja, Narayan Maharaja, Gaura Govinda Maharaja etc. created a policy where the children of ISKCON would now worship deviants as their gurus / acharyas / messiahs.  And the children of ISKCON were basically forced into a sort of tyrant's "death march" to do that, because -- as children -- they had no means to defend themselves -- or to counteract the situation -- or to escape -- as a number of victims recounted to me personally. 

The children were fully dependent on the situation being given to them by the leaders and adults of the society. That means the leaders and elders are responsible for the abuse, because the children were basically totally dependent on the situation they were being handed. In short, it does not matter what the children's karma is or isn't, just like it does not matter what the cow's karma is or isn't, no one is allowed to have a dependent abused, whether it is animals or human children.    

When the GBC wanted to get rid of the founder father of the illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara (Tamal Krishna) and his cheer leader (Narayan Maharaja) at that time Gaura Govinda Maharaja stood up at the GBC meeting and insisted they -- KEEP Tamal. At that exact same time, I was busy collating testimony from ex-gurukula victims on the severe abuse they had experienced. We need to keep the orchestrators of homosexual pedophile guru programs that are starving, beating, abusing and molesting kids -- causing some of them to commit suicide. For what? Why would we want to keep this element, unless we are compromised with it, or worse -- we agree with it? 

This begs the question, why do we need to KEEP the people who are orchestrating the worship of deviants / if not child abuse regime? 

We need to have ISKCON children worship illicit sex with men, women and children false gurus -- to attain God? OK the adults who orchestrated this situation are the main persons involved in "the karma" of all this. It is their karma primarily -- for generating this whole process. 

In karma outcomes, there is generally the oppressor and the oppressed, and in this case -- the leaders and adults are somewhat self evidently the oppressors. And that means they are the ones who are generating bad karma primarily, and severely bad karma, for themselves. They will be judged for their crime of orchestrating worship of deviants -- for children. They are already being judged, which is why their society is floundering and disintegrating, and many of the exponents of this system are dying left, right and center of cancer and etc.

And the situation has not yet even been fixed. The children of ISKCON are still being told they have to worship the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara. So they are still generating karma for themselves. A number of the children then rejected the religion, many ran off to Tamal's boot licker Narayan Maharaja, some of them around here -- eat meat and etc. So, they are the victims. And it is quite natural that they would be alienated from the religion, that happens in other institutions where there is abuse.   

When I talked to Gaura Govinda Maharaja on these topics he told me my idea to have the devotees worship the pure devotee "is not found in shastra." Yep, we need to have the devotees (and their ISKCON children) worship the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara and in sum -- persons who are "material and nothing more" according to GGM. 

Why? Because worship of pure devotees is not found in shastra? We need to worship deviants instead?

And that is what we find in shastra? 

Srila Prabhupada's Children need to worship debauchees and deviants or else "the organization will collapse." Wow, so it is not only worship of deviants, it is "an organization" of the worship of debauchees and sexual predators etc. And that is what we want -- for Krishna's children? 

Where is this found in shastra? 

    

ISKCON's children should worship that which is

MATERIAL AND NOTHING ELSE? 

Anyway, for historical record:

*** The leaders ordered the children to worship known conditioned souls if not deviants as their gurus, and as their "eternal links to Krishna." And yet the leaders for the most part knew these gurus were bogus and not actually links to Krishna (as Gaura Govinda Maharaja admits), but they could fool a few people LIKE ISKCON's CHILDREN into worshiping these deviants. 

The leaders EXPLOITED the ignorance of LITTLE KIDS, to coerce them to worship deviants. Who created the "karma" by being responsible for that? Really, almost anyone who was an adult in the situation. 

The kids are thus NOT responsible for creating that environment, they are victims. And the general public was ALSO told to worship the GBC's debauchee guru's process, they too had no input into that process, they too are victims. And the kids and the general public rejected the religion as a result.

*** So it is "the karma" of the leaders that they generated this mess. The "eternal links to Krishna" placed known homosexuals and deviants into the guru seat, and propped them up and protected them, and even reinstated some of them after a weak attempt to censure them. 

Meanwhile, molesting was going on left, right and center because evidently the core group deviants brought in other predators to act as teachers, administrators and so on, and they kicked those of us who dissented out the door. And then, funds meant to feed and care for the kids started going instead to support opulent jet set lives for the leaders. And most of us knew that was happening because we could see their fancy lifestyles going on right in front of us.

*** The GBC has subsequently buried known sexual predators and porno watching swamis in samadhis, in addition to burying the founder father of the pedophile messiahs club (Tamal) in a samadhi.

*** The children of ISKCON are still being told that homosexual pedophiles are saints fit to be in a samadhi, even today.

*** And just after we announced the child abuse problem was causing suicides of victims, then Naranayan das Visvakarma (NNV aka Nathan Zakheim) started a club to attack me, getting his allies like the Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur types to complain "PADA is a sahajiya program." Wow, so the big tough men are trying to stop me from addressing child rapes and suicides, because only the "gopi rasika sahajiyas" know that child rapes and suicides is -- a wrong headed policy?  

NNV even said that his child raping pals are "the golden body of ISKCON, and PADA is attacking the golden body of ISKCON." Then they starting saying, well not too many kids are dying of suicide, doing a sort of body count to see how much blood has to be spilled before they agree this is a problem. 

Only the sahajiyas know that child rape is -- sinful and wrong -- the big tough men are attacking us sahajiyas, to defend their child raping process? What difference does it make if I am a sahajiya or not? Child rape is a crime, allowing child suicide is unconscionable, why are the sahajiyas the only people who know that this is a wrong headed policy? 

So this has been simply another attempt to defend their child raping program, and so it was not only the GBC leaders / some elder leaders / who were implicated, the child raping program had many allies, hand maidens, assistants, cheer leaders, legal defense teams, shastra advisors like Sridhara Maharaja, Narayan Maharaja, and etc. So it is their "bad karma" for being the direct or de facto advocates for this process. Children are their VICTIMS.

And it is our good karma to have at least said, hey a child raping guru program is bogus. And it is the good karma of the karmi police, FBI, media and others who helped us along the way, to have helped us.

To sum! Srila Prabhupada wanted the children of ISKCON, and indeed ALL of the CITIZENS of planet earth to worship Krishna via media His pure devotee. He never said we have to worship illicit sex with men, women and children to attain Krishna. So his orders were CHANGED, and everyone who changed these orders is implicated in the karma of the results, i.e. many of the children were molested and the ISKCON society went into the tank in public opinion, and went bankrupted. 

That has nothing to do with the karma of the children who were born into ISKCON. They had the original karma to worship the pure devotee and Krishna, and then the motivated and evil adults CHANGED their karma, and gave them a horrific alternate to worship of the pure devotee. All of the adults who created and abetted that process now have the karma of changing the karma of the children who should have worshiped a pure devotee, and they changed the children's karma to force and coerce them to worship of their debauchee's guru program.   

That means, the main karma reaction and GUILT and RESPONSIBILITY lies with the adults, and NOT THE CHILDREN. They are the VICTIMS of what the adults crammed down their throats. As are the public who had these bogus gurus crammed down their throats, and that was not the intent or order of the acharya. He told us to continue the worship of the pure devotee or there will be havoc, and we see first hand what that havoc is. ys pd

Letter from Indradyumna on His Disciple's Suicide

[PADA: No need for a sraddha ceremony. OK, but why are so many devotees dying of cancer, and sometimes strokes and heart attacks (which is probably related to stress and depression)? Which means, it is de facto suicide through the back door. They died -- because it seems -- they lost their will to live. And more than a few devotees told me -- they also came to that state. 

We posted a letter from a former soviet state devotee who said "a number of people here feel suicidal from being exploited." Why is that? 

And did we forget to mention that a number of gurukulis also committed suicide. And some of them report to PADA "a number of us survived, but we felt suicidal. Many of us suffer from depression. We wanted to die." 

A devotee drowned himself in a lake, an associate of Tamal blew his brains out in a pond, a devotee tried to kill himself by beating his head with a hammer (fortunately he survived). Our friend here died of alcohol poison. An ex-Hansadutta devotee -- who was my friend here -- committed suicide after telling me "I did a lot of very dark deeds for Hansadutta, and I don't know how I can live with myself." 

Then there was the lady who set herself on fire in France, and died, because she was banned from seeing the deity in the temple. Then there was the mother who told me she "lost her will to live," and 10 months later I was at her hospital bedside where she was dying of cancer in the hospital. 

OK and then we had the poor woman who recently was evidently ripped off of her funds committing suicide in Vrndavana. What kind of spiritual society is producing these reactions? 

And why is it, as soon as PADA reports these things, the thundering herd of PADA critics comes out of the wood work to say "PADA is fake news, forget PADA etc." Ummm, there is evidently an effort to cover up these issues -- to save the good mother ship Church? Sorry, this is a problem, and by all accounts, it is not getting better. Something needs to be done, but first of all, we cannot fix a problem unless we admit there is one. 

Such a beautiful soul. Such a tragic loss. We at PADA wish her God speed on her new destination, and that she finds shelter in Krishna's hands as soon as possible. Because it seems self evident, she was not in good hands here.

Letter from Indradyumna Swami about his disciple Rasa Kishori dasi

Таня Королёва

My dear disciples,

Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

A few days ago my beloved disciple, Rasa Kishori dasi, passed away in Omsk, Russia. We are all feeling deep separation from her.

It has come to my attention that her friends and well-wishers are planning a Sraddha ceremony in her honor. Although the Sraddha ceremony is part of our Vedic culture, it is not part of the process that Srila Prabhupada has given us in the present day and age. Therefore, I request her friends and well-wishers not to proceed with that ceremony.

Srila Sanatana Goswami says in the Hari-bhakti-vilasa 9. 308:

“O exalted sage, glorious are those persons who, in the age of Kali, worship the Lord for the benefit of loved ones who have passed away. They need not perform the Sraddha ceremony by going to Gaya to offer oblations to the forefathers. Rather simply by worshipping the Lord their loved ones will be delivered from hellish life and attain the supreme destination.”

And what is meant by “worshipping the Lord in Kali Yuga? The answer is found in Kali-santara Upanishad [ 5.6 ]

“The sixteen words of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra are especially meant for counteracting the sins of the Age of Kali. To save oneself from the contamination of this age there is no alternative but to chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion for this age so sublime as the chanting of Hare Krsna.”

On certain occasions Srila Prabhupada conceded that devotees may perform a sraddha ceremony. For example, he writes in a Srimad Bhagavatam purport [ 9.10. 30 ]

“To save a deceased person from ghostly life, the funeral ceremony, or sraddha ceremony, as prescribed in authorized sastra, may be performed.“

But in general, he was not in favor of the Sraddha ceremony. In “TKG’s Diary” [ A book by Tamal Krsna Goswami, who was Prabhupada’s secretary for some time ] we hear:

“Svarupa Damodara Goswami received a telegram informing him of the passing away of his grandfather and requesting his presence for the sraddha ceremony, especially as there were no other senior members of the family. He approached Srila Prabhupada and said, "I do not know if it is proper. My grandfather has expired. May I take leave?"

Prabhupada answered by citing the verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam, "Devarsi bhutapta...” That those who are engaged in Krsna’s service have no necessity for such things.

The full verse is Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.41) states:

“O King, one who has given up all material duties and has taken full shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, who offers shelter to all, is not indebted to the demigods, great sages, ordinary living beings, relatives, friends, mankind or even one’s forefathers who have passed away. Since all such classes of living entities are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, one who has surrendered to the Lord’s service has no need to serve such persons separately.”

It is not necessary to appease or satisfy the demigods or anyone else in the departure of a loved one. Even if the demigods are posing obstacles to the safe passage of the loved one’s soul, those obstacles can be removed just by kirtan. 

The holy names are all- powerful.

yad bibheti svayam bhayam

“The holy name of Krsna is feared by fear personified.”

Srila Prabhupada gave us very simple and clear instructions what to do when a devotee departs. In a letter of November 14th, 1973 he wrote:

“Regarding the auto accident, just hold a condolence meeting for Raghava dasa brahmacari and pray for his soul to Krsna for giving him a good chance for advancement in Krsna consciousness. Certainly Krsna will give him a good place to take birth where he can again begin in Krsna consciousness activities. That is sure. Know that prasadam must be distributed. Three days after the demise of a Vaisnava a function should be held for offering the departed soul and all others prasadam. This is the system.”

You could say that is an “abbreviated version” of the Sraddha ceremony. And we must follow those instructions of Srila Prabhupada and not invent anything new.
When Srila Prabhupada’s father, Gour Mohan De was passing away Prabhupada asked him, “Father, what is your wish? Tell me.”

Gour Mohan told him to give their cow to the Allahabad Gaudiya Math. So Prabhupada took the cow, along with her calf, and donated them to the local maṭha.

Afterwards, Gour Mohan said, “When I depart, invite all the Gaudiya Vaisnavas of Allahabad, and other Vaisnavas also. Let them chant hari-nama and you supply them with good food. That is my wish.”

So this is our Gaudiya Vaisnava system. Even though Lord Caitanya performed the Sraddha ceremony for his father, our previous acarayas and our own Srila Prabhupada felt that chanting the holy names and distributing prasadam to the devotees was sufficient for the modern day era of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in observing the departure of a devotee.

So my request is that my disciples always follow this dictate.

Regarding my beloved spiritual daughter, Rasa Kishori dasi, hold a program in her honor consisting of beautiful kirtan, delicious prasadam and discuss her wonderful service and contributions to our Krsna Consciousness movement. I will be with you in my blessings and in my prayers for her safe progress back home to the spiritual world

Your ever well wisher,

Indradyumna Swami

German Nuns Allegedly Sold Orphans

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/german-nuns-sold-orphaned-children-200142596.html

[PADA: To "line the coffers with money"? Looks like systemic abuse can happen in various "religious institutions" -- if some people are turning a blind eye, are apathetic, and / or -- are just not minding the fort properly. Very sad, in the name of God, people are misusing children for abuse. ys pd]

Are Vrndavan Widows Protected by Lord Krishna? (Youthkiawaaz)

 https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2021/01/are-the-vrindavan-vaasis-really-at-the-lord-krishna/?

PADA: Many of these women are social castaways, but they often end up trying to do at least some sort of service to Krishna such as bhajans. There is really no organized facility for them. It is a very harsh reality for a lot of these ladies. I'd like to see some sort of regular outreach program to assist them, and it is amazing nothing like that seems to ever get done properly over there. When you are old and on your own in India, you are really in a mess. 

The good news is, they are at least living in the dham -- seeing Krishna's deities in all the temples -- and that gives them at least some sort of connection to Lord Krishna. It almost seems like Krishna is forcing them to surrender, and Srila Prabhupada says when Krishna is especially merciful, He forces the conditioned soul to take shelter of Him by taking everything else away. 

Perhaps these ladies have fit that description. 

Some of the Narayan Maharaja folks claim they are giving some sort of material relief effort to help these ladies, let us hope so. They are Brijabasis by some means or other, so they should be cared for -- at least minimal levels. ys pd   

Bangalore's Vrndavan Temple Challenged in "Green Court Plea"

 https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/in-green-court-plea-to-stop-construction-of-vrindavan-chandrodaya-mandir-worlds-tallest-temple-coming-up-in-mathura/1243452/?

[PADA: I tend to think there is already a water shortage in the Vrndavan area, and making a big project there will not be very viable -- without making an alternate water source. It is already very dry and desert - like there, and the Yamuna is already choked up with dams way before it gets to Vrndavan. In sum -- water is already a scarce commodity there.  

For a big project, some sort of very large alternate water source would be needed. And I am not sure how that could be done in Vrndavan -- where they have not even made a proper sewer system in all this time. Water could be trucked in from other areas -- maybe, but that would be a big operation in itself. The water situation needs to be further evaluated there, and actually evaluated all throughout India, where scarce water supplies are getting to be a big problem in many parts of the country. ys pd] 

Russian Devotee "Jumps to her death" In Vrndavana

Dear PADA: She was cheated out of her hard earned money by Russian devotee mafia controlling that Russian house, almost to the amount of Rs 1.0 cr. She then had no other means of surviving, so sadly she ended her life this way. They stole her means of living. GBC is complicit because they know these type things are going on.   

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/agra/russian-woman-41-jumps-to-death-in-vrindavan-friend-says-she-wanted-to-meet-lord-krishna/articleshow/80437386.cms?

Disciple of Indradyumna swami

 

PADA: I know, people have already been asking me -- was this really a suicide -- or some of the property mafia folks trying to evict an unruly or unwanted tenant? 

We know the story of a ex-gurukuli who allegedly "jumped to his death" in Vrndavan, but his friends think, not really. He was supposedly "not the suicidal type." 

We also know of a lady who was found hanging in a Vrndavan "property dispute," meant to look like a suicide. Yet it was a homicide -- to try to evict her from her property. We also know of a devotee who was slashed almost to death in Mayapur, to grab his property. And others have been cheated out of money to get so-called apartments in India, that were never built and so forth. 

At the same time, maybe this lady was just a little crazy, or maybe she was under pressure from other crazy people, so she took her life. Of course we also know personally of people who have taken their lives in this situation, because it is very frustrating and "unlivable" for some folks. 

For example, a good friend of mine died of alcohol poison, he literally drank himself to death. This happens from time to time. Or maybe she was a somewhat sincere person and she just decided, "hey I am done here, take me Krishna, I just cannot deal with all these phoney 'Vrndavan devotees' anymore"! Even sometimes sincere devotees take their lives for different reasons, that is also possible. 

In sum. I really don't know about this case. In any event, very sad and we wish this lady "God speed towards Krishna." If anyone has details or comments send to:
