A Little More Courage Please
Krishna Kirtan das comments:
A LITTLE MORE COURAGE PLEASE
Nanda Kumar Prabhu's sharing was quite nice and it seemed quite heartfelt as well, although he would appear at times to be holding back a bit, perhaps he wanted to say more (but couldn't?). Due to the fact that he is sitting right inside the ISKCON of Dallas temple room, was invited to speak there, he ends up giving too much credit and credibility where it doesn't deserve.
I think I could go on pointing out somethings I liked and disliked about this, but instead I will try to sum up my overall impression and take on this.
For instance, if he was Srila Prabhupada's body guard, specially when Srila Prabhupada needed the most, while in his bed and in the presence of Kali's agents (as he himself points out), Nanda Kumar admits he decided to leave the battlefield and did not come through with his duty. Certainly the situation at the time may have been such, and so difficult to overcome, that he may not have had much power to do much anyway to stop any agents of Kali. He points out their presence and their mentality around Srila Prabhupada, but he stops short of elaborating any further.
So as far what he is saying here is concerned, we are all left with the question: who were these people he was talking about? Could he give us names please?
With all due respect to Nanda Kumar Prabhu, why isn't he brave enough (today) to simply state the name(s) of those who he found to be agents of Kali, after all that has already been said-done-exposed-etc by others in countless other ways outside the context of that temple room speech? At one point in the video he says there was someone laughing around Srila Prabhupada's bed, which he found inappropriate, and from that he could tell that person was an agent of Kali.
So anyway, Nanda Kumar Prabhu, why don't you just tell the world who that person(s) was? Why hold anything back? Obviously sharing the important details with all of us would not need to happen in that temple room, or in a video like this, but is there anyone courageous enough out there to come out boldly and simply SPEAK OUT and be a little more direct and thoroughly truthful? Everyone is waiting.
So for anyone reading this, these would be some of the things to think about a little more and consider.

Dacoits Attack Braj Parikrama
Dacoits thrash, loot devotees on Braj Mandal Parikrama
Govardhan, 2014.09.13 (VT): Hundreds of devotees on Vraja Mandal parikrama were allegedly brutally beaten and looted by over a dozen dacoits. Reportedly the dacoits were armed with the guns, country-made pistols and knives attacked the yatris in their sleep on Thursday night.
When chowkidar Pohap Singh saw the dacoits, he caught hold of one of them. But he was shot at from point-blank range and was killed. The dacoits fled away after looting the deities and their jewelry made of gold and silver. The devotees dialed the police helpline to seek help, but it was not attended. The devotees were in fear after the incident and were in a fix on how to continue the yatra. The DGP office has taken cognizance of the incident and sought a report from the police.
The group of the pada yatris from Junagarh, Gujarat began their yatra from Vishram Ghat, Mathura. Two thousand people were on this pilgrimage tour under the guidance of Pankaj Baba. On Thursday night the Vraja Yatra camped at Jatipura Parikrama marg. The Vraja yatris were sleeping in canvas tents. The dacoits, around 10-12 in number, attacked the camp at around 2 a.m and started beating the pada yatris to loot them.
The chowkidar Pohap Singh aged around 40 years, a resident of Raya, tried to stop them but was killed when a bullet hit him. The dacoits looted the deities and jewelry from NRIs from Baroda Kanta Ben, Amila Ben and Rama Ben, Ila Ben. They took away cash more than Rupees fifty thousand.
After hearing the sound of the gun, the yatris staying in the other tents woke up and came to help the victims with the aid of the laborers who were employed to help during the yatra. Seeing the people coming towards them, the dacoits fled away.
Pohap Singh’s brother said that he dialed the one zero zero number of the police helpline but no one received the phone. He also informed the Govardhan Police station, but the police did not reach the site where the incident took place. They only took action when a large number of people went to the police station to register the case.
Later the Govardhan Police, SP city Manoj Sonkar, CO Sadar Preeti Priyadarshini and SSP Manjil Saini reached the site of the crime. The SSP said that a four police team has been deputed to nab the people involved in the crime. She promised that the culprits will be quickly brought to the justice.

Gaudiya Matha and ISKCON: A Brief History
PADA: The first serious "history re-write problem" was of course when the ISKCON leaders said in December of 1977 that Srila Prabhupada had appointed 11 of them as his guru successors. No, he only appointed agents, proxies, priests aka ritviks. We are not sure how soon this bogus "history re-write" will be cleared up, but at least we have had placed the May 28th tape, July 9th letter, the DOM, the Will, and other important Srila Prabhupada documents in the Supreme Court of India and we hope these documents will be accepted. In any case, simply having these documents forwarded into a court of this magnitude is a rare historical event.
In addition to the above problem we have seen the leaders of ISKCON -- claim at least -- to have been instructed that after Srila Prabhupada would depart, he wanted ISKCON to be subordinated to various "advisors" from the Gaudiya Matha to instruct these leaders how to manage the society. The problem here is that Srila Prabhupada mainly warned us NOT to associate with these Gaudiya Matha folks, because they have a tendency to appoint false gurus, among many other deviations.
The leaders of ISKCON are not always consistent. Thus, in 1982 the ISKCON leaders made a huge "position paper" showing all kinds of quotes from Srila Prabhupada saying -- we should ALL avoid all the Gaudiya Matha leaders -- especially Sridhara Maharaja, because at that time they had jettisoned their then "advisor" Sridhara Maharaja -- fine except -- then they immediately started promoting Narayana Maharaja and others as their "shiksha gurus," starting the whole "outside advisors" program all over again.
Thus, by 1984 BV Narayan Maharaja was helping Satsvarupa Das Goswami write "The Guru Reform Notebook," where these collective folks thought that acharyas need "reform" from criminal behaviors. Srila Prabhupada says it is an offense to consider the guru as an ordinary fallen soul, he does not agree with these "guru reformers." A person like Jesus needs to go to a prison reform school for deviations?
And as we recall still very clearly even now, when we went to Sridham Mayapura with Srila Prabhupada in 1972, Srila Prabhupada called for a meeting with his God brothers. When these God brothers arrived, most of them looked very tense and angry, and almost all of them did not return Srila Prabhupada's obeisances, they stood still. The actual meeting went even worse, one God brother named "Madhava Maharaja" (their elected representative) was yelling and pointing his finger in Srila Prabhupada's face -- demanding in the most insulting tone -- that Srila Prabhupada quit the use of the title "Prabhupada."
Before that infamous meeting, at least according to several eye-witnesses including BV Puri Maharaja, one of the vociferous ring leaders of this "anti-Prabhupada" group was BV Narayana Maharaja of Mathura. I had the great fortune of being in Mayapura at this time, so I know at least something of what happened. The God brothers came out that night and dug up our sacred site for the building foundation, and they placed garbage in there. Nasty!
According to BV Puri and others, BV Narayana Maharaja was in fact encouraging everyone to boycott the meeting with Srila Prabhupada, which he did. BV Narayana Maharaja pretty much admits he is in league with some of Srila Prabhupada's opponents when he later on said -- Sridhara Maharaja, Madhava Maharaja, Bon Maharaja and Tirtha Maharaja are great preachers just like your Swami Maharaja. Ooops, Srila Prabhupada says Bon Maharaja was rejected by his guru? Srila Prabhupada also said their calling him "swami maharaja" was an offense because they were envious of his actual title.
Srila Prabhupada said that Sridhara Maharaja and Madhava Maharaja were disrespecting him, thinking he was their junior disciple, thinking they were his seniors and superiors. And BV Narayan Maharaja also feels that all of these people are Srila Prabhupada's equals, if not his superiors. Of course, Srila Prabhupada said for example that BV Tirtha Maharaja is a black snake, he certainly did not see all these folks as his equals?
And when we were in Madras, Tirtha Maharaja's disciples went to the local newspapers to complain that Srila Prabhupada is bogus. Then again, when Himavati came back crying after going to Sridhara Maharaja's matha, because the people there were insulting Srila Prabhupada, he said "I want that none of you should visit his Matha" (and we did not after that).
After being insulted by Madhava Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada told us to post a guard at his door because "my God brothers might try to harm or kill me." Srila Prabhupada had severe doubts all along about his God brothers way before 1972. After all, it was Sridhara Maharaja, Madhava Maharaja and Professor Sannyal who had appointed the infamous (bi-sexual? / former Puri das) "Ananta Vasudeva" to be the acharya of the Gaudiya Matha in 1936.
And of course -- we hate to have to be the ones to point this out -- but there are some folks who think its possible some of these "dear God brothers" may have been connected to Srila Prabhupada's poison complaint, since he had also said "my God brothers may try to harm or kill me." It does seem rather odd that as soon as Srila Prabhupada departed, the ISKCON leaders were immediately sitting outside the doors of various Gaudiya Matha's? It also seems rather odd that some of them were the worst opponents we had when we first introduced the poison issue?
There are many letters and statements from Srila Prabhupada regarding how we should be careful not to allow these Gaudiya Matha folks and their ideas to infiltrate ISKCON. At one point Srila Prabhupada said that his God brothers were causing all the troubles in his mission because they had "a poisonous influence." He also said this infiltration was "a sinister movement." He also told us, while crying, do not read these Gaudiya Matha books, they have been edited and "even if your guru has only one book you should read that only." We were always being discouraged from association with this group. Srila Prabhupada also wrote that we should not have anything to do with these Gaudiya Matha folks, do not go there, do not associate there, etc.
Yet, after 1977 Gaudiya Matha people like Sridhara Maharaja became the darling "advisor" associates of the ISKCON leaders and he became the co-writer of various ISKCON GBC documents, for example the 1980 "The Mahajanas Have Difficulties" where they were saying great souls fall into maya. When Jayatirtha got into trouble for his illicit sex and drugs program, it was Sridhara Maharaja who came forward and said Jayatirtha has to stay in the Vyasasana guru seat.
And when Tamal, Hansadutta, and Ramesvara got into trouble also around 1980, it was AGAIN Sridhara Maharaja who came to their rescue to keep these deviant people in the Vyasasana guru seat. Meanwhile Sridhara Maharaja said we dissenters were wrong to protest his illicit sex and drugs guru program -- "none should protest" -- he said.
OK and that means we protesters were being banned, beaten and maybe assassinated, which also happened to dissenters to Sridhara's 1936 Ananta Vasudeva homosexual guru program. In the late 1970s and early 1980s days, we would say that Sridhara Maharaja was part of the "fire brigade," i.e. when one of these bogus gurus was in trouble, then the Sridhara Maharaja / fire department would come to put out the fire to save these deviants posing as messiahs, so these deviants could remain in the post of God's eternal successors.
In other words, the real history is -- that these Gaudiya Matha folks were the biggest advocates for the bogus 11 gurus in ISKCON after 1977. And even early on, when they were told these 11 gurus had illicit sex and drugs problems, these Gaudiya Matha "advisors" continued to prop them up as acharyas. After 1983 the ISKCON leaders started to work more and more with BV Narayana Maharaja, whom from time to time would say outrageous things that opposed Srila Prabhupada's instructions -- for example: There is no Kalki avatar; Worship of Lord Narasimhadeva in a Radha Krishna temple is bogus; We do not originate in Krishna's lila or sport, and so on. And yet despite hearing these offensive comments repeatedly, the leaders went on promoting him.
And gradually BV Narayan Maharaja then became Tamal's most darling associate who went to stay with Tamal in Dallas and so forth. Then Tamal and the other leaders like Satsvarupa, Giriraja, Sivarama, Mahanidhi, Indradyumna and others started their "Narayan Maharaja rasika club" where they were discussing the more intimate aspects of Krishna lila, which Srila Prabhupada did not want discussed by his followers and disciples.
Meanwhile, as these folks were engaged in their "advanced divine talks" many children in these leader's schools reported being abused, starved and deprived of basic food, clothes and medicines; and dissenters like us were also being banned, beaten and assassinated etc. In other word, the movement started to become more and more "sahajiya" (cheap pure devotees) -- or worse criminal and sahajiya, where the important aspects of managing were being neglected while a few elite people artificially posed as saints, at the expense of others, including children.
================================
A CONVERSATION WITH BV Narayana Maharaja
Narayana Maharaja: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura had so many very qualified disciples. Among them our Guru Maharaja was very prominent; and others were also, like Pujyapada Srila Sridhara Maharaja, Srila Bhakti Vilasa Tirtha, Srila Srauti Maharaja, Srila Giri Maharaja, Srila Bon Maharaja, Srila Vaikhanas Maharaja, Srila Bharati Maharaja, Srila Madhava Maharaja, Srila Siddhanti Maharaja, and so many others. And they established their mathas here and there.
After Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, there was a person named Ananta Vasudeva prabhu. He was very qualified, but he became charmed by a lady devotee and left his sannyasa. They married, and after that all became against him and said, "Now you should enter family life. This behavior is like that of a dog who eats something and again vomits it." At that time he was very powerful. He had money and so many disciples, and he began to torture his God-brothers, the disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Thakura, who opposed him.
Satyarupa dasi: What was the cause of the friction?
Narayana Maharaja: It came about because he was attracted to his own lady-disciple and married her. Everyone told him that in Srimad-Bhagavatam and other scriptures it is written that such behavior is not a good thing for Vaisnavism. They said, "You should go with her; and you should vacate your position as acarya." Everyone turned against him. He was at that time very wealthy, and he had a great deal of power. His God-brothers therefore left his place and established their own mathas here and there.
Satyarupa dasi: Was the falling of Ananta Vasudeva Krsna's arrangement so that the Gaudiya Matha would grow more?
Srila Narayana Gosvami Maharaja: Yes, that is right. We can reconcile it in this way. Otherwise we could not have preached all over the world.
I know that we are all in one family, and the family master is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who taught that we should all serve Radha and Krsna. Though our preaching centers are in different places, we are in one family. I also think that you are in our family.
Satyarupa dasi: I think so too. We are all one family.
[PADA: Great! We are "one family" with the bi-sexual acharyas, the usurpers of the Gaudiya Math mission, those who orchestrated having us types of dissenters banned, beaten and killed? How come we are one family with these deviants? This is like saying Jesus' church is one with Satan's church, sorry, he isn't!]
================================
Meanwhile ISKCON guru Gaura Govinda Maharaja (Orissa) was promoting a disciple of Ananta Vasudeva named Fakir Mohan: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18502294/Ananta-Vasudeva
For the record Srila Prabhupada had said that the Bagh Bazaar party of Sridhara Maharaja, Ananta Vasudeva / Fakir Mohan were "severe offenders." Rather amazingly Gaura Govinda Maharaja was saying "we need to stay in ISKCON," while he was himself promoting the Gaudiya Matha, and other Orissa babajis. Fakir Mohan was then being introduced by other various ISKCON leaders to speak at ISKCON temples around the world, and one can find videos of his speeches on youtube.
Since Ananta Vasudeva was a bi-sexual deviant posing as a saint, whose program orchestrated the assassination of dissenters, why is his program being introduced into ISKCON? All of this is simply another attempt to RE-WRITE HISTORY and to make Ananta Vasudeva out to be a bona fide saint, despite Srila Prabhupada said Ananta Vasudeva was "homosex and sex" and "a jackal" etc.
Later on BV Puri Maharaja emerged as another Gaudiya Matha "advisor" for some of the apa-ISKCON gurus such as Gopal Krishna, and BV Puri said that folks like ISKCON "guru" Radhanath swami are saints. At the same time, he would sometimes admit that these gurus are bogus and had only been appointed as ritviks. He has been all over the map.
http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2014/02/bv-puri-maharaja-all-over-map.html
And then we have the other "Puri," namely BP Puri (Bhakti Pramode) who was yet another "advisor" who supported people like Jayapataka. In other words, the GBC gurus seems to gravitate to the Gaudiya Matha folks for help, support and association almost all the time. Why is it that when Srila Prabhupada was here, we never went to visit these people, associate with them, and make them some sort of advisors?
Tripurari Swami Glorifies BP Puri Maharaja as a pure devotee:
http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2012/03/is-bp-puri-pure-devotee.html
These leaders have not been alone in "jumping over the river to the Gaudiya Matha," they lead a pied piper process taking lot of others away from ISKCON and over to the Gaudiya Matha such as Tripurari swami, Jagat guru swami, Paramadvaita swami and many others. And all of these folks are trying to re-write history too, saying that the Gaudiya Matha's leaders were not EVER really that supportive of the ISKCON 11 gurus. Of course since most of these people also got their "rubber stamp of guru" from the Gaudiya Matha, its hard for them to criticize that process.
Then we have people like Guru Kripa and Bhakta das, and they also became supporters of ISKCON gurus like Trivrikrama swami, and Gaudiya Matha folks like BV Puri Maharaja, and their idea has been that people like Radhanath swami are "saints." BV Puri also became associated with the GBC's Shastra Advisory Committee" folks (the SAC) which is basically supporting the bogus GBC gurus, and is making wholesale deviations like reversing the order of the deity pooja.
What is amazing is that Guru Kripa first of all told us in Santa Cruz that these Gaudiya Matha people are "stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back," then the next thing we hear he is in India "surrendering to BV Puri Maharaja." So this is another classic example of a HISTORY re-write, the Gaudiya Matha folks are bogus for supporting, aiding and abetting the ISKCON GBC's bogus gurus -- and in so doing they are stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back no less, therefore, lets go and surrender there! Re-writing history, plain and simple.
Guru Kripa das: I asked Harikesh sitting next to me, "How are you going to let people call you a PARAMAHANSA? You are not a REALIZED SOUL; you are a piece of sh*t." He turned to me with a smirk on his face, and said "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT." That day, Bhavananda, TKG, and Bhagavan asked me to meet them in the guest house for a meeting. When I came, they said, why are you making waves? Just stop making trouble about this APPOINTMENT of GURUS and we'll make you the 12TH GURU at the next Mayapur meeting. I told them, Prabhupada did not make ANYONE gurus, you have to be a REALIZED SOUL. If Srila Prabhupada has appointed these eleven as spiritual masters, why did they not start INITIATING AT ONCE? Because they all knew very well they were never APPOINTED as gurus!
[PADA: Good, so why go with BHAKTA DAS to the Gaudiya Matha's gurus, after Srila Prabhupada says, amongst my God brothers no one is qualified to be acharya? And after telling us they are stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back by supporting the false 11 gurus? And after these Gaudiya Matha people were not only propping up the bogus GBC gurus, but worse, orchestrating attacking the Prabhupadanuga idea by demonizing us -- thus getting some of us killed?
There is another layer to this history, that after 1977 the ISKCON society became more or less a criminal empire, often with these Gaudiya Matha folks encouraging the big players. How did that happen? Srila Prabhupada had often said some of these Gaudiya Matha leaders are USURPERS, they have hi-jacked the Gaudiya Matha's property, and that they were fourth class, tenth class, envious of guru, hogs and dogs, kill guru and become guru, homosex and sex, and so on and so forth. In sum, they also had made the Gaudiya Matha a criminally hi-jacked operation. These usurpers supported the GBC's usurpers?
And people like Bhakta das were very big players in the post 1977 criminal - ization of ISKCON. He was selling VERY DANGEROUS designer drugs. Simultaneously, Jayatirtha's folks were selling designer drugs like ecstasy. Simultaneously, some of Ramesvara's people were busted for selling drugs -- apparently heroin. Simultaneously, the Laguna Beach temple president was arrested for selling drugs. Simultaneously, Kirtanananda's drug mules were arrested, and prominent people from the New Vrndavana program were arrested for selling drugs. Simultaneously, Hansadutta's people were arrested for selling guns, and all sorts of other assorted crimes, and so on and so forth.
How did you guess? Tamal, Jayatirtha, Hansadutta and Ramesvara were all being supported by Sridhara Maharaja. While Kirtanananda's program was later being cheer lead by Satsvarupa, and this regime was being supported by Narayana Maharaja who was giving Satsvarupa "rasika lessons." Worse, Bhakta das STILL supports disciples of Gaudiya Matha gurus like Madhava maharaja, such as Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha (a disciple of Madhava Maharaja). The people who stick their fingers in Srila Prabhupada's face to tell him he cannot use his own Prabhupada title, are in Bhakta's guru parampara?
In other words, the criminal - ization process of ISKCON has had various supporters from these Gaudiya Matha camps all along, as well as personal attacks upon our acharya, as well as posting fools as acharyas. How does Krishna feel about having fools sitting in a seat meant for His guru successors?
The question we might ask today is, how did Bhakta das, one of the biggest leaders in the dubious Gaudiya Matha's gurus / GBC's gurus / Radhanath swami / Madhava Maharaja folks et al. group, become the spokesmen for the Prabhupadanugas on the Prabhupadanugas EU web site? Everyone knows Bhakta das supports the GBC's gurus like Trivrikrama and Radhanath, and Gaudiya Matha gurus like BV Puri, and he supports and quotes Madhava's disciples like Bhakti Ballabha tirtha. Bhakta das is in sum one with all these people and yet some folks claiming to be Prabhupadanugas are citing this fellow as the spokesman for the Prabhupadanugas?
We need to fix the fire in the Matha, by pouring gasoline on the fire? As one devotee said, when there is a fire in the horse's barn -- sometimes the horse cannot be removed from the barn -- despite the blaze. The horse is so used to taking shelter of the barn, he still thinks its a safe place despite the fire. So these so-called Prabhupadanugas EU are STILL taking shelter of the criminals and molester messiahs because they think that is their safety and actual home. Guess what? Your barn is on fire! Or is it because some of these alleged Prabhupadanugas are criminals and molesters themselves and that is whom they identify with, birds of a feather, so they promote same as their spokesmen?
Sulochana das detested all these people, and he said they are turning ISKCON into a criminal empire, which could kill some of us for objecting. And now, they are our spokespeople? This is amazing, the worse examples of criminalizing ISKCON are simultaneously -- the spokesmen for the GBC and now, spokesmen also for "the reform" of ISKCON? Ummm, well we hate to have to point this out, but this Bhakta das group (supporters of the bogus GBC's gurus) have about zero credibility these days, or their days are close to over.
Sorry, the same guys who created the criminal empire cannot reform ISKCON from that same problem? Worse, while these guys were busy making all these criminal programs, the children were getting molested, devotees were being beaten and killed, and so forth. The criminals neglected to help us address these issues, so these issues simply got worse, in other words, they enabled all these problems.
At the moment some of the big cheer leaders for the Bhakta das / BV Puri / Gaudiya Matha / Madhava Maharaja / Bhakti Ballabha tirtha program are Mukunda das / Prahlad das from England, and their loyal coterie on Prabhupadanugas EU. They complain about us while promoting the criminal messiah's sector's leaders like Bhakta das, who is in fact a criminal himself. Of course, the policy of promoting criminals and molesters as saints is why we have had criminals and molesters overtake the ISKCON society in the first place.
And now perhaps we know why: Mukunda is another bogus GBC style sexual predator who uses ISKCON as a vehicle to "use and abuse" the poor devotee women, even to engage in illicit sex in the holy dham with a devotee woman he meets there. This is the same pattern as the bogus GBC guru program has done with women -- to criminally exploit them. His wife went to the police to file a complaint that he is a woman beater.
OK and this is the same "domestic abuse" big problem we had at New Vrndavana under Kirtanananda, women were reporting the same exact thing as is being done by these "Prabhupada saviors." Mukunda identifies with the abusers and molesters program, and that is why he cites them as his authority, because he is one of them himself. No wonder then he sees us as a threat to his molester program and so he has to run to GBC guru lover's like Bhakta das for comfort, and now the Prabhupadanugas EU has gone back to the barn that is on fire to cite this group as their authorities? That is like jumping into the water to get relief from the sun, only to hit your head on the stones under the water.
Srila Prabhupada says when a guru or spiritual authority uses his post as a senior leader to exploit a woman for sex, it is exactly like having sex with one's own daughter. That person is a child molester de facto. In other words, this Mukunda is simply another GBC style woman exploiter / sexual predator. And -- at least according to Srila Prabhupada -- he is a de facto child molester for using his position of senior authority over a junior woman to exploit her for sex. No wonder these birds flock together. We simply cannot go back to the bogus GBC policy of promoting criminals, sexual predators, women beaters, and / or GBC guru supporters -- as a solution to the problem. These people ARE THE PROBLEM!
It seems the criminals, molesters and exploiters not only love and support one another, but much worse, promote entire deviant programs of such persons as messiahs. The good news is that more people are starting to put all this together, and we are seeing a rejection of all these people wholesale. Their support is dwindling and support for our positive preaching is increasing.
Even within the Narayan Maharaja camp itself we are seeing more and more reports of leader's "brutal treatment," "swamis using money to make buildings for their lovers," "corporate money mentality," "swamis not following," "sexual predators," "mis-using funds," "rolex watches," and so on and so forth. Its all going to come back down to the basic points, we have to GO BACK to worship the pure devotee Srila Prabhupada and avoid all these bogus criminals posing as a religion. Once again, Srila Prabhupada did warn us about all these dubious out-croppings, thus, we can only avoid his warnings -- at our peril.
There will perhaps be some forms of criminals hanging around in any religion, thus the first proposition is, these criminals have to be out of the post as the messiahs, gurus, leaders, spokesmen and spiritual authorities of that religion. They have to be in a position where they can be monitored and moderated, not in the seats of big authority. Otherwise, the religion will have no credibility, its that simple. Then again, we have nice temples like Sunnyvale, where there are no such criminals. Period. That is even better yet: avoid the whole criminal element altogether. Anyway, the parallels of the post-1936 Gaudiya Matha and post-1977 ISKCON are astonishing, and we hope some lessons have been learned here.

Going to Mayapura in 1972
The 11 "appointed" gurus in 1978
In addition to the above problem we have seen the leaders of ISKCON -- claim at least -- to have been instructed that after Srila Prabhupada would depart, he wanted ISKCON to be subordinated to various "advisors" from the Gaudiya Matha to instruct these leaders how to manage the society. The problem here is that Srila Prabhupada mainly warned us NOT to associate with these Gaudiya Matha folks, because they have a tendency to appoint false gurus, among many other deviations.
BR SRIDHARA MAHARAJA (Navadvip): A founder father of the 1936 Ananta Vasudeva guru fiasco, later on the GBC's "purest devotee on the planet; The GBC's senior most advisor; Srila Prabhupada's dearmost brother," aka the GBC's 1978 "shiksha guru." He said -- "acharyas go mad after money, women and followers" and he thus helped the post-1978 ISKCON leaders write various "guru tattva position papers." By 1982 the ISKCON leaders pretty much decided "Sridhara Maharaja is a demon who is trying to take over ISKCON." And they banned him.
The leaders of ISKCON are not always consistent. Thus, in 1982 the ISKCON leaders made a huge "position paper" showing all kinds of quotes from Srila Prabhupada saying -- we should ALL avoid all the Gaudiya Matha leaders -- especially Sridhara Maharaja, because at that time they had jettisoned their then "advisor" Sridhara Maharaja -- fine except -- then they immediately started promoting Narayana Maharaja and others as their "shiksha gurus," starting the whole "outside advisors" program all over again.
Thus, by 1984 BV Narayan Maharaja was helping Satsvarupa Das Goswami write "The Guru Reform Notebook," where these collective folks thought that acharyas need "reform" from criminal behaviors. Srila Prabhupada says it is an offense to consider the guru as an ordinary fallen soul, he does not agree with these "guru reformers." A person like Jesus needs to go to a prison reform school for deviations?
Radhanath swami with BV Narayan Maharaja
And as we recall still very clearly even now, when we went to Sridham Mayapura with Srila Prabhupada in 1972, Srila Prabhupada called for a meeting with his God brothers. When these God brothers arrived, most of them looked very tense and angry, and almost all of them did not return Srila Prabhupada's obeisances, they stood still. The actual meeting went even worse, one God brother named "Madhava Maharaja" (their elected representative) was yelling and pointing his finger in Srila Prabhupada's face -- demanding in the most insulting tone -- that Srila Prabhupada quit the use of the title "Prabhupada."
Before that infamous meeting, at least according to several eye-witnesses including BV Puri Maharaja, one of the vociferous ring leaders of this "anti-Prabhupada" group was BV Narayana Maharaja of Mathura. I had the great fortune of being in Mayapura at this time, so I know at least something of what happened. The God brothers came out that night and dug up our sacred site for the building foundation, and they placed garbage in there. Nasty!
According to BV Puri and others, BV Narayana Maharaja was in fact encouraging everyone to boycott the meeting with Srila Prabhupada, which he did. BV Narayana Maharaja pretty much admits he is in league with some of Srila Prabhupada's opponents when he later on said -- Sridhara Maharaja, Madhava Maharaja, Bon Maharaja and Tirtha Maharaja are great preachers just like your Swami Maharaja. Ooops, Srila Prabhupada says Bon Maharaja was rejected by his guru? Srila Prabhupada also said their calling him "swami maharaja" was an offense because they were envious of his actual title.
(BV) Bhakti Vaibhav Puri Maharaja
Srila Prabhupada said that Sridhara Maharaja and Madhava Maharaja were disrespecting him, thinking he was their junior disciple, thinking they were his seniors and superiors. And BV Narayan Maharaja also feels that all of these people are Srila Prabhupada's equals, if not his superiors. Of course, Srila Prabhupada said for example that BV Tirtha Maharaja is a black snake, he certainly did not see all these folks as his equals?
And when we were in Madras, Tirtha Maharaja's disciples went to the local newspapers to complain that Srila Prabhupada is bogus. Then again, when Himavati came back crying after going to Sridhara Maharaja's matha, because the people there were insulting Srila Prabhupada, he said "I want that none of you should visit his Matha" (and we did not after that).
After being insulted by Madhava Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada told us to post a guard at his door because "my God brothers might try to harm or kill me." Srila Prabhupada had severe doubts all along about his God brothers way before 1972. After all, it was Sridhara Maharaja, Madhava Maharaja and Professor Sannyal who had appointed the infamous (bi-sexual? / former Puri das) "Ananta Vasudeva" to be the acharya of the Gaudiya Matha in 1936.
And of course -- we hate to have to be the ones to point this out -- but there are some folks who think its possible some of these "dear God brothers" may have been connected to Srila Prabhupada's poison complaint, since he had also said "my God brothers may try to harm or kill me." It does seem rather odd that as soon as Srila Prabhupada departed, the ISKCON leaders were immediately sitting outside the doors of various Gaudiya Matha's? It also seems rather odd that some of them were the worst opponents we had when we first introduced the poison issue?
There are many letters and statements from Srila Prabhupada regarding how we should be careful not to allow these Gaudiya Matha folks and their ideas to infiltrate ISKCON. At one point Srila Prabhupada said that his God brothers were causing all the troubles in his mission because they had "a poisonous influence." He also said this infiltration was "a sinister movement." He also told us, while crying, do not read these Gaudiya Matha books, they have been edited and "even if your guru has only one book you should read that only." We were always being discouraged from association with this group. Srila Prabhupada also wrote that we should not have anything to do with these Gaudiya Matha folks, do not go there, do not associate there, etc.
Yet, after 1977 Gaudiya Matha people like Sridhara Maharaja became the darling "advisor" associates of the ISKCON leaders and he became the co-writer of various ISKCON GBC documents, for example the 1980 "The Mahajanas Have Difficulties" where they were saying great souls fall into maya. When Jayatirtha got into trouble for his illicit sex and drugs program, it was Sridhara Maharaja who came forward and said Jayatirtha has to stay in the Vyasasana guru seat.
And when Tamal, Hansadutta, and Ramesvara got into trouble also around 1980, it was AGAIN Sridhara Maharaja who came to their rescue to keep these deviant people in the Vyasasana guru seat. Meanwhile Sridhara Maharaja said we dissenters were wrong to protest his illicit sex and drugs guru program -- "none should protest" -- he said.
Srila Jayatirtha Tirthapada Goswami aka James Immel, he was taking drugs and having illicit sex, and YET we were told by Sridhara Maharaja "none should protest." He was later killed for having an affair with someone's wife. This is an example of "God's successor guru"?
OK and that means we protesters were being banned, beaten and maybe assassinated, which also happened to dissenters to Sridhara's 1936 Ananta Vasudeva homosexual guru program. In the late 1970s and early 1980s days, we would say that Sridhara Maharaja was part of the "fire brigade," i.e. when one of these bogus gurus was in trouble, then the Sridhara Maharaja / fire department would come to put out the fire to save these deviants posing as messiahs, so these deviants could remain in the post of God's eternal successors.
In other words, the real history is -- that these Gaudiya Matha folks were the biggest advocates for the bogus 11 gurus in ISKCON after 1977. And even early on, when they were told these 11 gurus had illicit sex and drugs problems, these Gaudiya Matha "advisors" continued to prop them up as acharyas. After 1983 the ISKCON leaders started to work more and more with BV Narayana Maharaja, whom from time to time would say outrageous things that opposed Srila Prabhupada's instructions -- for example: There is no Kalki avatar; Worship of Lord Narasimhadeva in a Radha Krishna temple is bogus; We do not originate in Krishna's lila or sport, and so on. And yet despite hearing these offensive comments repeatedly, the leaders went on promoting him.
And gradually BV Narayan Maharaja then became Tamal's most darling associate who went to stay with Tamal in Dallas and so forth. Then Tamal and the other leaders like Satsvarupa, Giriraja, Sivarama, Mahanidhi, Indradyumna and others started their "Narayan Maharaja rasika club" where they were discussing the more intimate aspects of Krishna lila, which Srila Prabhupada did not want discussed by his followers and disciples.
Meanwhile, as these folks were engaged in their "advanced divine talks" many children in these leader's schools reported being abused, starved and deprived of basic food, clothes and medicines; and dissenters like us were also being banned, beaten and assassinated etc. In other word, the movement started to become more and more "sahajiya" (cheap pure devotees) -- or worse criminal and sahajiya, where the important aspects of managing were being neglected while a few elite people artificially posed as saints, at the expense of others, including children.
Srila Prabhupada said post-1936 Gaudiya Matha books were useless because of editing, and now, ISKCON books are all being edited?
================================
A CONVERSATION WITH BV Narayana Maharaja
Narayana Maharaja: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura had so many very qualified disciples. Among them our Guru Maharaja was very prominent; and others were also, like Pujyapada Srila Sridhara Maharaja, Srila Bhakti Vilasa Tirtha, Srila Srauti Maharaja, Srila Giri Maharaja, Srila Bon Maharaja, Srila Vaikhanas Maharaja, Srila Bharati Maharaja, Srila Madhava Maharaja, Srila Siddhanti Maharaja, and so many others. And they established their mathas here and there.
After Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, there was a person named Ananta Vasudeva prabhu. He was very qualified, but he became charmed by a lady devotee and left his sannyasa. They married, and after that all became against him and said, "Now you should enter family life. This behavior is like that of a dog who eats something and again vomits it." At that time he was very powerful. He had money and so many disciples, and he began to torture his God-brothers, the disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Thakura, who opposed him.
Satyarupa dasi: What was the cause of the friction?
Narayana Maharaja: It came about because he was attracted to his own lady-disciple and married her. Everyone told him that in Srimad-Bhagavatam and other scriptures it is written that such behavior is not a good thing for Vaisnavism. They said, "You should go with her; and you should vacate your position as acarya." Everyone turned against him. He was at that time very wealthy, and he had a great deal of power. His God-brothers therefore left his place and established their own mathas here and there.
Satyarupa dasi: Was the falling of Ananta Vasudeva Krsna's arrangement so that the Gaudiya Matha would grow more?
Srila Narayana Gosvami Maharaja: Yes, that is right. We can reconcile it in this way. Otherwise we could not have preached all over the world.
I know that we are all in one family, and the family master is Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who taught that we should all serve Radha and Krsna. Though our preaching centers are in different places, we are in one family. I also think that you are in our family.
Satyarupa dasi: I think so too. We are all one family.
[PADA: Great! We are "one family" with the bi-sexual acharyas, the usurpers of the Gaudiya Math mission, those who orchestrated having us types of dissenters banned, beaten and killed? How come we are one family with these deviants? This is like saying Jesus' church is one with Satan's church, sorry, he isn't!]
One big happy family!
================================
Meanwhile ISKCON guru Gaura Govinda Maharaja (Orissa) was promoting a disciple of Ananta Vasudeva named Fakir Mohan: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18502294/Ananta-Vasudeva
Indradyumna Swami embraces Fakir Mohan
For the record Srila Prabhupada had said that the Bagh Bazaar party of Sridhara Maharaja, Ananta Vasudeva / Fakir Mohan were "severe offenders." Rather amazingly Gaura Govinda Maharaja was saying "we need to stay in ISKCON," while he was himself promoting the Gaudiya Matha, and other Orissa babajis. Fakir Mohan was then being introduced by other various ISKCON leaders to speak at ISKCON temples around the world, and one can find videos of his speeches on youtube.
Since Ananta Vasudeva was a bi-sexual deviant posing as a saint, whose program orchestrated the assassination of dissenters, why is his program being introduced into ISKCON? All of this is simply another attempt to RE-WRITE HISTORY and to make Ananta Vasudeva out to be a bona fide saint, despite Srila Prabhupada said Ananta Vasudeva was "homosex and sex" and "a jackal" etc.
Later on BV Puri Maharaja emerged as another Gaudiya Matha "advisor" for some of the apa-ISKCON gurus such as Gopal Krishna, and BV Puri said that folks like ISKCON "guru" Radhanath swami are saints. At the same time, he would sometimes admit that these gurus are bogus and had only been appointed as ritviks. He has been all over the map.
http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2014/02/bv-puri-maharaja-all-over-map.html
Radhanath swami with BV Puri Maharaja
And then we have the other "Puri," namely BP Puri (Bhakti Pramode) who was yet another "advisor" who supported people like Jayapataka. In other words, the GBC gurus seems to gravitate to the Gaudiya Matha folks for help, support and association almost all the time. Why is it that when Srila Prabhupada was here, we never went to visit these people, associate with them, and make them some sort of advisors?
Tripurari Swami Glorifies BP Puri Maharaja as a pure devotee:
http://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2012/03/is-bp-puri-pure-devotee.html
These leaders have not been alone in "jumping over the river to the Gaudiya Matha," they lead a pied piper process taking lot of others away from ISKCON and over to the Gaudiya Matha such as Tripurari swami, Jagat guru swami, Paramadvaita swami and many others. And all of these folks are trying to re-write history too, saying that the Gaudiya Matha's leaders were not EVER really that supportive of the ISKCON 11 gurus. Of course since most of these people also got their "rubber stamp of guru" from the Gaudiya Matha, its hard for them to criticize that process.
Then we have people like Guru Kripa and Bhakta das, and they also became supporters of ISKCON gurus like Trivrikrama swami, and Gaudiya Matha folks like BV Puri Maharaja, and their idea has been that people like Radhanath swami are "saints." BV Puri also became associated with the GBC's Shastra Advisory Committee" folks (the SAC) which is basically supporting the bogus GBC gurus, and is making wholesale deviations like reversing the order of the deity pooja.
What is amazing is that Guru Kripa first of all told us in Santa Cruz that these Gaudiya Matha people are "stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back," then the next thing we hear he is in India "surrendering to BV Puri Maharaja." So this is another classic example of a HISTORY re-write, the Gaudiya Matha folks are bogus for supporting, aiding and abetting the ISKCON GBC's bogus gurus -- and in so doing they are stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back no less, therefore, lets go and surrender there! Re-writing history, plain and simple.
Guru Kripa das
Guru Kripa das: I asked Harikesh sitting next to me, "How are you going to let people call you a PARAMAHANSA? You are not a REALIZED SOUL; you are a piece of sh*t." He turned to me with a smirk on his face, and said "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT." That day, Bhavananda, TKG, and Bhagavan asked me to meet them in the guest house for a meeting. When I came, they said, why are you making waves? Just stop making trouble about this APPOINTMENT of GURUS and we'll make you the 12TH GURU at the next Mayapur meeting. I told them, Prabhupada did not make ANYONE gurus, you have to be a REALIZED SOUL. If Srila Prabhupada has appointed these eleven as spiritual masters, why did they not start INITIATING AT ONCE? Because they all knew very well they were never APPOINTED as gurus!
[PADA: Good, so why go with BHAKTA DAS to the Gaudiya Matha's gurus, after Srila Prabhupada says, amongst my God brothers no one is qualified to be acharya? And after telling us they are stabbing Srila Prabhupada in the back by supporting the false 11 gurus? And after these Gaudiya Matha people were not only propping up the bogus GBC gurus, but worse, orchestrating attacking the Prabhupadanuga idea by demonizing us -- thus getting some of us killed?
There is another layer to this history, that after 1977 the ISKCON society became more or less a criminal empire, often with these Gaudiya Matha folks encouraging the big players. How did that happen? Srila Prabhupada had often said some of these Gaudiya Matha leaders are USURPERS, they have hi-jacked the Gaudiya Matha's property, and that they were fourth class, tenth class, envious of guru, hogs and dogs, kill guru and become guru, homosex and sex, and so on and so forth. In sum, they also had made the Gaudiya Matha a criminally hi-jacked operation. These usurpers supported the GBC's usurpers?
And people like Bhakta das were very big players in the post 1977 criminal - ization of ISKCON. He was selling VERY DANGEROUS designer drugs. Simultaneously, Jayatirtha's folks were selling designer drugs like ecstasy. Simultaneously, some of Ramesvara's people were busted for selling drugs -- apparently heroin. Simultaneously, the Laguna Beach temple president was arrested for selling drugs. Simultaneously, Kirtanananda's drug mules were arrested, and prominent people from the New Vrndavana program were arrested for selling drugs. Simultaneously, Hansadutta's people were arrested for selling guns, and all sorts of other assorted crimes, and so on and so forth.
How did you guess? Tamal, Jayatirtha, Hansadutta and Ramesvara were all being supported by Sridhara Maharaja. While Kirtanananda's program was later being cheer lead by Satsvarupa, and this regime was being supported by Narayana Maharaja who was giving Satsvarupa "rasika lessons." Worse, Bhakta das STILL supports disciples of Gaudiya Matha gurus like Madhava maharaja, such as Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha (a disciple of Madhava Maharaja). The people who stick their fingers in Srila Prabhupada's face to tell him he cannot use his own Prabhupada title, are in Bhakta's guru parampara?
In other words, the criminal - ization process of ISKCON has had various supporters from these Gaudiya Matha camps all along, as well as personal attacks upon our acharya, as well as posting fools as acharyas. How does Krishna feel about having fools sitting in a seat meant for His guru successors?
Everyone (else) knows usurpers are not messiahs!
Ramesh Babu, another GBC "rasa advisor" from Radha Kunda
The question we might ask today is, how did Bhakta das, one of the biggest leaders in the dubious Gaudiya Matha's gurus / GBC's gurus / Radhanath swami / Madhava Maharaja folks et al. group, become the spokesmen for the Prabhupadanugas on the Prabhupadanugas EU web site? Everyone knows Bhakta das supports the GBC's gurus like Trivrikrama and Radhanath, and Gaudiya Matha gurus like BV Puri, and he supports and quotes Madhava's disciples like Bhakti Ballabha tirtha. Bhakta das is in sum one with all these people and yet some folks claiming to be Prabhupadanugas are citing this fellow as the spokesman for the Prabhupadanugas?
We need to fix the fire in the Matha, by pouring gasoline on the fire? As one devotee said, when there is a fire in the horse's barn -- sometimes the horse cannot be removed from the barn -- despite the blaze. The horse is so used to taking shelter of the barn, he still thinks its a safe place despite the fire. So these so-called Prabhupadanugas EU are STILL taking shelter of the criminals and molester messiahs because they think that is their safety and actual home. Guess what? Your barn is on fire! Or is it because some of these alleged Prabhupadanugas are criminals and molesters themselves and that is whom they identify with, birds of a feather, so they promote same as their spokesmen?
Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha with Narayan Maharaja
Sulochana das detested all these people, and he said they are turning ISKCON into a criminal empire, which could kill some of us for objecting. And now, they are our spokespeople? This is amazing, the worse examples of criminalizing ISKCON are simultaneously -- the spokesmen for the GBC and now, spokesmen also for "the reform" of ISKCON? Ummm, well we hate to have to point this out, but this Bhakta das group (supporters of the bogus GBC's gurus) have about zero credibility these days, or their days are close to over.
Sorry, the same guys who created the criminal empire cannot reform ISKCON from that same problem? Worse, while these guys were busy making all these criminal programs, the children were getting molested, devotees were being beaten and killed, and so forth. The criminals neglected to help us address these issues, so these issues simply got worse, in other words, they enabled all these problems.
At the moment some of the big cheer leaders for the Bhakta das / BV Puri / Gaudiya Matha / Madhava Maharaja / Bhakti Ballabha tirtha program are Mukunda das / Prahlad das from England, and their loyal coterie on Prabhupadanugas EU. They complain about us while promoting the criminal messiah's sector's leaders like Bhakta das, who is in fact a criminal himself. Of course, the policy of promoting criminals and molesters as saints is why we have had criminals and molesters overtake the ISKCON society in the first place.
And now perhaps we know why: Mukunda is another bogus GBC style sexual predator who uses ISKCON as a vehicle to "use and abuse" the poor devotee women, even to engage in illicit sex in the holy dham with a devotee woman he meets there. This is the same pattern as the bogus GBC guru program has done with women -- to criminally exploit them. His wife went to the police to file a complaint that he is a woman beater.
OK and this is the same "domestic abuse" big problem we had at New Vrndavana under Kirtanananda, women were reporting the same exact thing as is being done by these "Prabhupada saviors." Mukunda identifies with the abusers and molesters program, and that is why he cites them as his authority, because he is one of them himself. No wonder then he sees us as a threat to his molester program and so he has to run to GBC guru lover's like Bhakta das for comfort, and now the Prabhupadanugas EU has gone back to the barn that is on fire to cite this group as their authorities? That is like jumping into the water to get relief from the sun, only to hit your head on the stones under the water.
Srila Prabhupada says when a guru or spiritual authority uses his post as a senior leader to exploit a woman for sex, it is exactly like having sex with one's own daughter. That person is a child molester de facto. In other words, this Mukunda is simply another GBC style woman exploiter / sexual predator. And -- at least according to Srila Prabhupada -- he is a de facto child molester for using his position of senior authority over a junior woman to exploit her for sex. No wonder these birds flock together. We simply cannot go back to the bogus GBC policy of promoting criminals, sexual predators, women beaters, and / or GBC guru supporters -- as a solution to the problem. These people ARE THE PROBLEM!
It seems the criminals, molesters and exploiters not only love and support one another, but much worse, promote entire deviant programs of such persons as messiahs. The good news is that more people are starting to put all this together, and we are seeing a rejection of all these people wholesale. Their support is dwindling and support for our positive preaching is increasing.
Even within the Narayan Maharaja camp itself we are seeing more and more reports of leader's "brutal treatment," "swamis using money to make buildings for their lovers," "corporate money mentality," "swamis not following," "sexual predators," "mis-using funds," "rolex watches," and so on and so forth. Its all going to come back down to the basic points, we have to GO BACK to worship the pure devotee Srila Prabhupada and avoid all these bogus criminals posing as a religion. Once again, Srila Prabhupada did warn us about all these dubious out-croppings, thus, we can only avoid his warnings -- at our peril.
There will perhaps be some forms of criminals hanging around in any religion, thus the first proposition is, these criminals have to be out of the post as the messiahs, gurus, leaders, spokesmen and spiritual authorities of that religion. They have to be in a position where they can be monitored and moderated, not in the seats of big authority. Otherwise, the religion will have no credibility, its that simple. Then again, we have nice temples like Sunnyvale, where there are no such criminals. Period. That is even better yet: avoid the whole criminal element altogether. Anyway, the parallels of the post-1936 Gaudiya Matha and post-1977 ISKCON are astonishing, and we hope some lessons have been learned here.

Last Writing of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura
By Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
The last instructions of Srila Bhaktivinoda thakura is found in his Sva niyama dasakam:
by Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura
The 1st Verse
(The Objects of Devotion Birth After Birth)
gurau sri-gaurange tad-udita-subhakti-prakara ne
saci-sunor-lila-vikasita-s utirthe nija manau
harer namni presthe hari-tithisu rupanuga-jane
suka-prokte sastre prati-jani mamastam khalu ratih
No matter whenever and wherever I happen to take birth, let my loving affection and attachment remain unshaken throughout each and every lifetime for the following things: for my divine spiritual master, for Sri Gauranga, for the detailed topics of pure devotional service (and the methods of its execution) as personally instructed by Him, for the holy places of pilgrimage such as Sri Navadvipa, Sri Kshetra, Sri Vrndavana, etc. , which are all blooming with divine sanctity due to His performance of wonderful pastimes therein, for the diksa mantra bestowed upon me by the divine grace of my spiritual master, for the holy name of Sri Hari, for the most beloved eternal associates of the Lord, for the sacred days of celebration throughout the year such as Sri Ekadasi, Sri Janmastami, Sri Radhastami, and the appearance/disappearance days of the great Vaisnava acaryas, for the Lord’s dearmost devotees who strictly follow in the sacred footsteps of Srila Rupa Gosvami, and for the holy scriptures narrated by Srila Sukadeva Gosvami such as the Srimad Bhagavatam.
The 2nd Verse
(The Internal Identity of Lord Caitanya, the Eternal Guide)
sada vrndaranye madhura-rasa-dhanye rasa-mayah
param saktim radham parama-rasa-murtim ramayati
sa caivayam krsno nija-bhajana-mudram upadisan
saci-sunur gaude prati-jani mamastam prabhu-varah
The Supreme Lord Sri Krsna is the personified abode of all divinely ecstatic mellow-tastes. And Sri Radhika is the topmost abode of all His divinely potent energies. Indeed, She is the personified form of the highest mellow of love in separation. Within the forest of Vrnda, which is gloriously rich in the all-pervading treasure of the sweetest madhura-rasa, this Lord Sri Krsna is continuously enjoying as He makes Sri Radhika happy by His loving service rendered to Her 24 hours a day. This very same Lord Krsna is exactly identical to the Son of mother Saci Who eternally lives simultaneously yet separately in Gauda-desa as the Instructor of the process for rendering His own service. May this Saci-nanadana become my Supreme Master and Guide, and may He always appear to me just to lead me on the proper devotional path birth after birth after birdh.
The 3rd Verse
(Rejection of Things Unfavorable for Sri Radha-Krishna’s Eternal Service)
na vairagyam grayham bhavati na hi yad bhakti-janitam
tatha jnanam bhanam citi yadi visesam na manute
sprha me nastange hari-bhajana-saukhyam na hi yatas
tato radha-krsna-pracura-parica rya bhavatu me
Let no form of so-called renunciation or asceticism become fit for my acceptance if it does not give rise to the continual expansion of my eternal serving mood of loving devotion. And let no form of so-called knwoledge or intellectual cultivation appeal to me at all if it does not admit the reality of eternal individuality shared by the Lord and His devotees during their everlasting daily pastimes. I have no desire at all for practicing any branch of the eight-fold yoga process, for none of them contain any scope for enjoying the daily plasure of serving Lord Hari such as His confidential worship does. Rather, may I render profuse, uninterrupted confidential service 24 hours a day to Sri Sri Radha-Krsna for all of time to come (such service being the means as well as the end) .
The 4th Verse
(Where to Live, and Where Not to Live)
kutire pi ksudre vraja-bhajana-yogye taru-tale
saci-sunos tirthe bhavatu nitaram me nivasatih
na canyatra ksetre vibudha-gana-sevye pulakito
vasami prasade vipula-dhana-rajyanvita iha
May I continuously reside in a small, lonely cottage at the base of a desire-tree in the most holy abode of Sri Navadvipa-dhama, which is sanctified by the lotus feet of Sri Saci-Nanadana. Such a bhajan-kutir is perfectly suitble for constant remembrance of, and service to the divine daily sports that are always present in Sri Vraja-dhama. Indeed, in contrast to this, I will never live in any other place, even if it is bankered for with great enthusiasm by the most wise sages and demigods of all sorts. As far as all other places in this world are concerned, whether opulent palaces or temples, whether possessing vast riches of enormous wealth or princely kingdoms and property all such places cannot attract me as much as my modest bhajan-kutir in Sri Navadvipa-dhama does.
The 5th Verse
(The Real Principle of Dharma Which Is Devoid of Designations)
na varne saktir me na khalu mamata hyasrama-vidhau
na dharme nadharme mama ratir ihaste kvacid api
param tat-tad-dharme mama jada-sariram dhrtam idam
ato dharman sarvan subhajana-sahayann abhilase
I have no attachment at all to any of those caste divisions of society such as brahmana, kshatriya, vaishya or sudra. And I certainly do not identify with any order of life such as brahmacharya, grhasta, vanaprasta, or sannyasa. I have no fondness or respect at all for the so-called piety of religiosity or even for the so-called impiety of sinful life in this worldnot even the slightest regard. Instead , I truly desire whathever is practically required just to maintain this material body in order to facilitate my performance of pure devotional service. This is the actual righteousness that I will hope for as long as this material body continues to exist.
The 6th Verse
(Favorable, Authorized Practices and Devotional Qualities)
sudainyam saralyam sakala-sahanam manada-danam
dayam svikrtya sri-hari-carana-seva mama tapah
sadacaro sau me prabhu-pada-parair yah samuditah
prabhos caitanyasyaksaya-carita-pi yusa-krtisu
My austere vow is costant devotion to the lotus feet of Sri Hari. In order to execute that vow, I have accepted the following qualities by my own endeavor:
The 7th Verse
(Repulsion from Those Things Which Are Disconnected from Sri Radhika)
na vaikunthe rajye na ca visaya-karye mam ratir
na nirvane mokse mama matir ihaste ksanam api
vrajanandad anyadd hari-vilasitam pavanam api
kathancin mam radhanvaya-virahitam no sukhayati
I have no attraction for living in Vaikuntha, that part of the spiritual sky presided over by Sri Sri Laksmi- Narayana; nor do I desire useless activities of gross sense gratification in this material world. I will never cherish the desire for attaining the divine bliss of impersonalistic liberation, even for a second. Furthermore, there are many transcendental pastimes of Sri Hari that may be very purifying for all conditioned souls yet such pastimes will never ever give me any real happiness at all. This is because such pastimes are quite different from blissful ecstasies of Vraja-consciousness, being complitely devoid of any relationship with Sri-Radhika, Who is the one and and only fountainhead of pure joy.
The 8th Verse
(Renunciation of All Kinds of Bad Association)
na me patni-kanya-tanaya-janani- bandhu-nicaya
harau bhakte bhaktau na khalu yadi tesam sumamata
abhaktanam-anna-grahanam api doso visayinam
katham tesam sangadd hari-bhajana-siddhir bhavati me
I now disown my wife, my daughters, my sons, my mother, and all my friends, If they have no genuine attachment for Lord Hari, for His devotees, or for His devotional service. It is definitely a great sin even to accept foodgrains prepared by such non-devotional, materialistic sense-gratifiers. If I were to remain in the company of such persons, then how will the eternal perfection of my Hari-bhajan ever come about?
The 9th Verse
(Avoidance of So-Called ‘Devotees’ Who Proudly Neglect Sri Radhika)
asat-tarkair-andhan jada-sukha-paran krsna-vimukhan
ku-nirvanasaktam satatam ati-dure pariharan
aradham govindam bhajati nitaram dambhikataya
tad-abhyase kintu ksanam api na yami vratam idam
There are certain persons who appear to very advanced in devotion. Indeed, to increase their service to the Lord, they have long since rejected the evil company of: those who are completely blinded by faulty arguments arising from so-called intellectual logic, those who are madly addicted to the fleeting pleasures of the dull material body, those who are averse to and envious of Lord Sri Krsna, and those who are very fond of the inferior, distasteful concept of liberation as it is cherished by the impersonalists.
They have thus favorably avoided all kinds of bad association; yet it is seen that such persons worship Lord Govinda without Srimati Radarani being present. This just shows that they are actually puffed-up with excessive pride and conceited arrogance directed against Sri Radika, who is Herself the best worshipper of Govinda. Therefore I will never ever go anywhere near such so-called devotees even for a second. This is my strict vow.
The 10th Verse
(How to Live Simply and Perform Vraja-Bhajana Until Death)
prasadanna-ksirasana-vasan a -patradibhir aham
padarthair nirvahya vyavahrtim asangah ku visaye
vasam isa-ksetre yugala-bhajananandita-mana s
tanum moksye kale yuga-pada-paranam pada-tale
Passing my life in a simple, practical way eating only prasada foodgrains and milk products, the remnants of the Supreme, Lord, His mercy, wearing only prasad cloth that was offered to the Deity, using only the pots and utensils sanctified by the Lord’s exclusive service, I will thus remain completely aloof from material sense-gratification.
Living by the side of Sri Radha-kunda (Her very own abode), worshiping the Divine Couple with a blissful mind, the time will come for my body to die. At the soles of the devotees’s lotus feet, who are themselves serving the lotus feet of the Divine Couple, I will thus give up my body.
The 11th Verse
(How to Worship the Lotus Feet of Sri Radhika’s Pure Devotee)
saci-sunor-ajna-grahana-ca turo yo vraja-vane
pararadhyam radham bhajati nitaram krsna-rasikam
aham tvetat-padamrtam anudinam naisthika-mana
vaheyam vai pitva sirasi ca muda sannati-yutah
There is a class of pure devotee who is completely expert and experienced in following all the instruction of Sri Saci-nandana. Such a devotee incessantly worships Srimati Radharani exlusively, Who is indeed the most worshipable Personality, and who is deeply absorbed every day in relishing the Divine mellows of Sri Krsna’s association. The pure devotee of this calibre definitely performs his confidential worship whole-heartedly and with exclusive surrender unto Sri Radhika. Thus he always lives in Sri Vraja-mandala. I shall take the nectarean water that has washed the lotus feet of such a devotee and carry it on my head. Drinking it with great joy, and with a devout heart, I will then happily offer my full prostration upon the ground in the nicest, most perfect way that I possibly can. This will indeed be my routine each and every day.
The 12th Verse
(Firm Determination to Transcend Maya by Daily Following This Stava)
harer dasyam dharmo mama tu cira-kalam prakrtito
maha-maya-yogad-abhinipati tah duhkha-jaladhu
ito yasyamy urddhvam sva-niyama-suratya prati-dinam
sahayo me matram vitatha-dalani vaisnava-krpa
As a spirit soul, my natural tendency is to be eternally situated in the loving devotional service of Lord Hari; however, due to the strong power and influence of the Lord’s maha-maya, I have somehow plunged deeply into the fathomless ocean of material sorrow and grief. I shall transcend this world of maya and go to the spiritual world only by faithfully following these self imposed vows every day. And the only way I will get the strength to follow these vows is by attaining the mercy of all the Vaisnava devotees of the Lord. May their causeless mercy and softhearted compassion, which wards off all illusion, become my exclusive friend and guide for all of time everlasting.
The 13 Verse
(Phal-Sruti - the Benediction of Eternal Service Gained by Reading This Stava)
krtam kenapyetat sva-bhajana-vidhau svam niyamakam
parthed yo visraddhah priya-yugala-rupe ‘rpita manah
vraje radha-krsnau bhajati kila samprapya nilayam
sva-manjaryah pascad vividha-varivasyam sa kurute
This stava named Sva-niyam Dvadasakam was written by someone to adjust and regulate his own personal mode of performing bhajan. If any other devotee happens to chant this stava with a very special quality of resolute faith, fully offering his mind unto: the supreme beautiful forms of the Divine Couple, Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, his most dear possession, or to the Divine beauty of Their Deity form, or to the beauty or Sri Gaura-Sundara, the combined form of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, or to Srila Rupa Gosvami, the dearmost beloved devotee of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda and Sri Gaura-Sundara, then that fortunate reader definitely attains his own place of eternal residence in Sri Vraja-dhama. Always following behind his own manjari-guru, in his own spiritual body of a manjari, he finally renders all kinds of variegated eternal services for the exclusive worship of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.
Thus ends” SVA-NIYAMA DVADASTAKAM”

“12 Verses of My Own Self-imposed Regulative Principles”
by Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura
The 1st Verse
(The Objects of Devotion Birth After Birth)
gurau sri-gaurange tad-udita-subhakti-prakara ne
saci-sunor-lila-vikasita-s utirthe nija manau
harer namni presthe hari-tithisu rupanuga-jane
suka-prokte sastre prati-jani mamastam khalu ratih
No matter whenever and wherever I happen to take birth, let my loving affection and attachment remain unshaken throughout each and every lifetime for the following things: for my divine spiritual master, for Sri Gauranga, for the detailed topics of pure devotional service (and the methods of its execution) as personally instructed by Him, for the holy places of pilgrimage such as Sri Navadvipa, Sri Kshetra, Sri Vrndavana, etc. , which are all blooming with divine sanctity due to His performance of wonderful pastimes therein, for the diksa mantra bestowed upon me by the divine grace of my spiritual master, for the holy name of Sri Hari, for the most beloved eternal associates of the Lord, for the sacred days of celebration throughout the year such as Sri Ekadasi, Sri Janmastami, Sri Radhastami, and the appearance/disappearance days of the great Vaisnava acaryas, for the Lord’s dearmost devotees who strictly follow in the sacred footsteps of Srila Rupa Gosvami, and for the holy scriptures narrated by Srila Sukadeva Gosvami such as the Srimad Bhagavatam.
The 2nd Verse
(The Internal Identity of Lord Caitanya, the Eternal Guide)
sada vrndaranye madhura-rasa-dhanye rasa-mayah
param saktim radham parama-rasa-murtim ramayati
sa caivayam krsno nija-bhajana-mudram upadisan
saci-sunur gaude prati-jani mamastam prabhu-varah
The Supreme Lord Sri Krsna is the personified abode of all divinely ecstatic mellow-tastes. And Sri Radhika is the topmost abode of all His divinely potent energies. Indeed, She is the personified form of the highest mellow of love in separation. Within the forest of Vrnda, which is gloriously rich in the all-pervading treasure of the sweetest madhura-rasa, this Lord Sri Krsna is continuously enjoying as He makes Sri Radhika happy by His loving service rendered to Her 24 hours a day. This very same Lord Krsna is exactly identical to the Son of mother Saci Who eternally lives simultaneously yet separately in Gauda-desa as the Instructor of the process for rendering His own service. May this Saci-nanadana become my Supreme Master and Guide, and may He always appear to me just to lead me on the proper devotional path birth after birth after birdh.
The 3rd Verse
(Rejection of Things Unfavorable for Sri Radha-Krishna’s Eternal Service)
na vairagyam grayham bhavati na hi yad bhakti-janitam
tatha jnanam bhanam citi yadi visesam na manute
sprha me nastange hari-bhajana-saukhyam na hi yatas
tato radha-krsna-pracura-parica rya bhavatu me
Let no form of so-called renunciation or asceticism become fit for my acceptance if it does not give rise to the continual expansion of my eternal serving mood of loving devotion. And let no form of so-called knwoledge or intellectual cultivation appeal to me at all if it does not admit the reality of eternal individuality shared by the Lord and His devotees during their everlasting daily pastimes. I have no desire at all for practicing any branch of the eight-fold yoga process, for none of them contain any scope for enjoying the daily plasure of serving Lord Hari such as His confidential worship does. Rather, may I render profuse, uninterrupted confidential service 24 hours a day to Sri Sri Radha-Krsna for all of time to come (such service being the means as well as the end) .
The 4th Verse
(Where to Live, and Where Not to Live)
kutire pi ksudre vraja-bhajana-yogye taru-tale
saci-sunos tirthe bhavatu nitaram me nivasatih
na canyatra ksetre vibudha-gana-sevye pulakito
vasami prasade vipula-dhana-rajyanvita iha
May I continuously reside in a small, lonely cottage at the base of a desire-tree in the most holy abode of Sri Navadvipa-dhama, which is sanctified by the lotus feet of Sri Saci-Nanadana. Such a bhajan-kutir is perfectly suitble for constant remembrance of, and service to the divine daily sports that are always present in Sri Vraja-dhama. Indeed, in contrast to this, I will never live in any other place, even if it is bankered for with great enthusiasm by the most wise sages and demigods of all sorts. As far as all other places in this world are concerned, whether opulent palaces or temples, whether possessing vast riches of enormous wealth or princely kingdoms and property all such places cannot attract me as much as my modest bhajan-kutir in Sri Navadvipa-dhama does.
The 5th Verse
(The Real Principle of Dharma Which Is Devoid of Designations)
na varne saktir me na khalu mamata hyasrama-vidhau
na dharme nadharme mama ratir ihaste kvacid api
param tat-tad-dharme mama jada-sariram dhrtam idam
ato dharman sarvan subhajana-sahayann abhilase
I have no attachment at all to any of those caste divisions of society such as brahmana, kshatriya, vaishya or sudra. And I certainly do not identify with any order of life such as brahmacharya, grhasta, vanaprasta, or sannyasa. I have no fondness or respect at all for the so-called piety of religiosity or even for the so-called impiety of sinful life in this worldnot even the slightest regard. Instead , I truly desire whathever is practically required just to maintain this material body in order to facilitate my performance of pure devotional service. This is the actual righteousness that I will hope for as long as this material body continues to exist.
The 6th Verse
(Favorable, Authorized Practices and Devotional Qualities)
sudainyam saralyam sakala-sahanam manada-danam
dayam svikrtya sri-hari-carana-seva mama tapah
sadacaro sau me prabhu-pada-parair yah samuditah
prabhos caitanyasyaksaya-carita-pi yusa-krtisu
My austere vow is costant devotion to the lotus feet of Sri Hari. In order to execute that vow, I have accepted the following qualities by my own endeavor:
I practice great humility in my dealings with everyone;
I try to keep simplicity and purity prominent in all of my practical arrangements:
I maintain extreme tolerance in all types of favorable or unfavorable circumstances:
I offer all respect unto others, regardless of who they are:
I feel genuine compassion for all living entities and act accordingly
I try to keep simplicity and purity prominent in all of my practical arrangements:
I maintain extreme tolerance in all types of favorable or unfavorable circumstances:
I offer all respect unto others, regardless of who they are:
I feel genuine compassion for all living entities and act accordingly
There are many transcendental activities which are recommended by the great devotees who are fixed-up in unalloyed devotional service to the lotus feet of Sriman-Mahaprabhu, and these can be found described in the books that are full of the imperishable character and pastimes of Mahaprabhu Sri Krsna Caitanya. Only such transcendentally nectarean activities, being recommended by great devotees and practiced by Lord Caitanya Himself, are indeed my own.
The 7th Verse
(Repulsion from Those Things Which Are Disconnected from Sri Radhika)
na vaikunthe rajye na ca visaya-karye mam ratir
na nirvane mokse mama matir ihaste ksanam api
vrajanandad anyadd hari-vilasitam pavanam api
kathancin mam radhanvaya-virahitam no sukhayati
I have no attraction for living in Vaikuntha, that part of the spiritual sky presided over by Sri Sri Laksmi- Narayana; nor do I desire useless activities of gross sense gratification in this material world. I will never cherish the desire for attaining the divine bliss of impersonalistic liberation, even for a second.

Old Days at La Cienga LA
[PADA: The temple on La Cienega Blvd. was the first temple I visited. I recall there was a great big painting of Lord Narasimhadev, and wonderful deities. Srila Prabhupada introduced "jumping up and down" at a kirtana at this location. Srila Prabhupada also approved of women dancing in the kirtana. leading the kirtana, and so on during this era. Very important things were established in these early days. This is a nice remembrance of those days. ys pd]
MORE footage of the old days ...
Does PADA Win "Numbers Game"?
Yes, go on under any circumstances, right!
PADA: This is always a big topic among various groups of devotees: is PADA editor a crazy lone wolf in the darkness, whom no one cares what he says? And the answer is, its all depends?
1) This all started when we first of all said (around 1979) that "Jayatirtha is not a pure devotee, he is engaged in illicit sex and intoxication." At that time, almost all the "senior" devotees disagreed with us and they often said: "This offends all the GBC; It is craziness; It is apa-siddhanta; It is against the orders of Srila Prabhupada," -- etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum. Yep, and our critics included the bulk of the senior "advanced devotees" who did not think anyone should publicly challenge the guru status of Jayatirtha.
Fast forward in time, and later on Jayatirtha was murdered (decapitated) for having illicit sex with someone's wife, and his murder became a HUGE news media story in all the big UK / EU / Europe newspapers, some with the title "Guru's Head Hacked Off." That means, who knows lets say 25 million -- maybe as many as 50 million people worldwide -- eventually read the "Jayatirtha's head chopped off" story and they ALL agreed with our version FULLY, i.e. Jayatirtha was not EVER a pure devotee. OK MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people agreed with PADA and not our opponents. Do we win the numbers game? Yep!
Today, we rarely meet even one person who still feels Jayatirtha was a pure devotee. OK, except some years back when we met with one of his hanger on groupies, who tried to tell us Jayatirtha had been the only pure devotee successor to Prabhupada in ISKCON (this same devotee tried to commit suicide at one point and failed). OK fine, so the score so far is -- maybe 25 - 50 million agree with PADA, and only one or two isolated "hangers on" do not. We won that one hands down, easily -- millions agreed VS one or two who do not.
2) Around 1980 we said that Kirtanananda is a fraud guru, and at that time we even warned Sulochana not to set up camp and live there. Yep, how'd ya guess? Most folks said we were bogus, rascals, offenders, blah dee freakin blah-dee. Fast forward to 1986 when the Federal Marshals raided his place, then that news story was in all the major medias of the West, including a TV show I did with 23 million viewers. Lets say -- easily -- 100 million people read / heard / saw the story and they all agreed with us, i.e. Kirtanananda is not a guru.
How many people today think we were wrong? OK not so many, thus -- once again -- we won that one hands down. Millions agreed with us, a few hold outs do not. Why the mass of devotees did not help us expose and remove Kirtanananda before it came to this state, I cannot say why. But the bottom line is, almost everyone eventually agreed we were right, Kirtanananda is not an acharya.
3) We later on said that actually all of the 11 gurus are bogus, and NONE of them were appointed as gurus. Yep, initially almost everyone said this is offensive, this is against Srila Prabhupada's appointment order, blah and blah etc. etc. etc. Fast forward to the publication of "Monkey On A Stick" and the Rolling Stone article "Dial Om For Murder," and once again MILLIONS of people agreed with our version, the entire body of 11 is bogus.
How many people today agree that these 11 are bona fide? Yep, not hardly anyone. OK we won that round also on the level of MILLIONS VS only a few. Shot that one out of the ball park really, because not only millions of public but also thousands of devotees agreed with us, and so they abandoned the GBC's gurus process wholesale, there was a mass exodus of GBC's guru followers. Notice the score, we again won that issue with MILLIONS who agreed VS, ok only a few bone head supporters of the 11 left in the USA. Sulochana said we were going to need the help of the police and public to oppose these gurus, he was right, on our own -- OK we could get killed.
4) Sulochana said that people like Bhakta das were helping the GBC gurus and were therefore "in bed with the enemy." According to Sulochana, the New Vrndavana "drug dealers" were getting supplied with some of their "designer drugs" from Bhakta das. These designer drugs are supposedly something like Procaine, a Cocaine like drug, problem being -- it has sometimes worse effects than Cocaine, including women having defective babies, people going into permanent mental instability and so on.
One of Jayatirtha's people was under the influence of these drugs and he pulled out a gun in a theater and he wanted to date the star (Justine Bateman) of the theater show. A SWAT team had to subdue him. Of course Jayatirtha was part of this designer drugs program as well. Birds of a feather.
In short, Sulochana was infuriated with people like Bhakta das for aiding and abetting the New Vrndavana regime by working to help their drug business. OK, later on Bhakta's drug business was busted by the Federal Marshals and the story of his "drug bust" was in all the big California and other newspapers. Yep, once again MILLIONS of people agreed with PADA that Bhakta das is a lousy human being, at best.
Later on Bhakta das was arrested in Puri India, and his arrest story was in all the major newspapers there, and once again MILLIONS OF PEOPLE agreed with PADA that Bhakta das is a lousy human being. Of course we have a few idiots trying to revive Bhakta das as their shiksha guru, but how many are in this group? Half a dozen maybe? Sorry we ALREADY have millions on our side, its that simple.
Have we got to a billion agreeing with us yet? Maybe!
5) When we said there is a problem with the book changes, yep, thousands of devotees agreed.
6) When we said Srila Prabhupada is complaining of being poisoned, yep, thousands agreed.
7) When we said there is a molesting problem, yep, once again we were attacked by "the senior devotees" for saying that. Sorry to report this but MILLIONS OF PEOPLE later on agreed with us that these leaders were orchestrating abusing children. And yes, a number the children victims blamed God for that abuse regime -- because of all these anti-PADA folks who were compromised with the abuse regime -- who did not help us dismantle that regime, and they made it look like God wanted this regime.
And a number of these children we saved thanked us for "saving them from the slaughter house." Of course, there are always some folks who are upset we did that, because they all along wanted to see these children in the slaughter house from the get go.
Its unfortunate that all this above, starting with our original 1979 problem with Jayatirtha, has had to be made public -- but as we see, there is often no other recourse since we are often being attacked if addressing these things internally.
To sum up, no we are not lone wolves in the dark with no one hearing us. Millions of people agree with what we are saying, and we were recently on the Discovery Chanel with MILLIONS OF PEOPLE hearing us describe the New Vrndavana problems. The real question is, how many more millions do we have to convince before some of the last hold out "advanced devotees" start to agree with us? ys pd

Pioneer of Indexing Books
http://krishna.com/srila-prabhupadas-indexer-life-and-death-unsung-hero
[PADA: Sulochana also helped index the Chaitanya Charitamrta. All this was done manually on index cards in little boxes. Devotees did not have personal computers then, it was all indexed by hand. These folks read the books for hours and made little card notes for the final indexes. Great service. These indexes are still a valuable help for studying the books. At one time I had a couple of boxes of Sulochana's cards but have not got them at present. ys pd]

Reza Aslan Dismantles "Prosperity Gospel"

[PADA: People like Joel Olsteen preach that God wants you to be prosperous, ok to drive a Bentley. Is this what God wants us to do, become wealthy in this world? OK, the real problem here, the prosperity preachers are cheating the public says Reza. We think there is some truth in this, God is not telling us to become wealthy and prosperous, He wants us to live humbly. ys pd]

We think there is some truth in this, God is not telling us to become wealthy and prosperous, He wants us to live humbly. ys pd]
Residents of Vrndavana Khor Lila Festival
http://news.vrindavantoday.org/2014/09/sankari-khor-lila/
[PADA: Of course Srila Prabhupada had wanted ISKCON to be doing all these festivals, not only in Vrndavana but all over the world. Anyway, some folks are enjoying the festival somewhere, and this is a good place for it! I think some of the GBC's Radhakunda "shiksha gurus" are attending this particular festival. Anyway, its a shame ISKCON has not been able to make more of these festival themselves, not only in Vrndavana but elsewhere. This is a very nice pastime of Krishna asking the gopis for a tax payment. ys pd]

Letter to Prahlad / Mukunda from Mahesh Raja
Mukunda das:It is sad for me to see you distorting the truth about peoples personal lives in a similar manner to PADA.
Mahesh: Mukunda Prabhu are YOU any better then him? YOU have BATTERED your EX wife Indira and DIVORCED her and you gave a lot of Srila Prabhupada’s quotes to JUSTIFY how a WIFE should be subservient to her husband. There was NOT even a SINGLE QUOTE that you gave to your EX wife on HOW a HUSBAND should PROTECT the wife. AT THE LAST RESORT SHE WENT TO POLICE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST YOU. As her husband WHERE WAS YOUR PROTECTION FOR YOUR WIFE?
You want to give me a lecture on HYPOCRISY? Just look at YOUR HYPOCRISY. Where does Srila Prabhupada say get DIVORCED? Husbands PROTECTION is to DIVORCE the wife? To BATTER the wife is PROTECTION? You ILL-TREATED wife SO BADLY and you want to lecture me on Puranjana?
S.B 4.26.17 P King Puranjana Goes to the Forest to Hunt, and His Queen Becomes Angry
ACTUALLY THE WOMAN MUST ALWAYS BE PROTECTED BY HER HUSBAND.
TO MANIPULATE QUOTES FROM SRILA PRABHUPADA TO SUIT ONES AGENDA TO JUSTIFY BEATING YOUR WIFE IS NOT PROTECTION. It is called H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y.
When you took your children to the Vrindavan. They were in the NEXT ROOM and you were HAVING (illicit) SEX with some woman you met there. And you want to give ME lecture on HYPOCRISY?
When you PROMISED at Initiation BEFORE Srila Prabhupda deity to chant 16 rounds HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA, RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
And you do NOT do this THEN what is the VALUE of your PROMISE? You have plenty of time on computer telling the world about Puranjana but no time for completing 16 rounds that you PROMISED Srila Prabhupada at initation. Hypocrisy or WHAT?
SB 5.4.8 The Characteristics of Rsabhadeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has said that in order to preach, one must live a practical life and show people how to do things. Apani acari’ bhakti sikhaimu sabare. ONE CANNOT TEACH OTHERS UNLESS HE BEHAVES THE SAME WAY HIMSELF.
I also said all along that Mukunda is using photos of Srila Prabhupada for his Illuminati DVD business, and he is. Its shocking to me that almost no one seems to understand we cannot mix a photo of the acharya with beef eating speculators, making it look like he endorses all this? Christians would be offended if someone mis-used a photo of Jesus in this way, whereas our people say almost nothing. People should be helping me convince others that this program should be stopped, instead they are encouraging him and attacking us?

[PADA: Thanks Mahesh, You are right, these people should spend their time doing something better. On Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa pooja day these folks wrote a giant complaint about Madhu Pandit das and posted online, and on Srimate Radha's appearance day they wrote a huge complaint about me. Apparently they are thinking about us and not Krishna? It seems they are more interested in muck raking than in worship of Srila Prabhupada and worship of Srimate Radharani?
One of my friends also told me he spoke with Mukunda's wife some years ago when she was afraid for her physical safety from Mukunda, whom she thought had extreme violent tendencies towards women. He does. Ooops, and unfortunately, this is what many members of the pro-homosexual, molester and abuser bogus GBC guru's project have done, they have viciously mistreated women.
Perhaps this is the reason all these misogyny folks oppose PADA in unison? Prahlad for his part is an enabler of these "men" who beat women, and worse, big tough men who beat little defenseless women devotees of Krishna no less, then he wonders why he cannot convince me he is on the right side of this thing? Then Prahlad says he is against our plan to save children who are being beaten and abused. Ditto heads of a feather.
We simply do not accept their idea that they are authorized to be cruel and abusive to women and (molested) children. That is not our standard, or even the standard of the karmis. The karmis just removed one football player for his cruel acts on a woman, they do not want these type of people to be acting as their representatives and spokesmen. These people keep saying we should not have saved the ISKCON children, ok that is their plan, do not help people in distress. Rather lets cause people distress.
Its a pattern.
In sum, they are bullies and they pick on women, children and people who cannot defend themselves, ok like defenseless women, and then they pick on me because I am opposing their entire misogyny agenda in ISKCON. Needless to say, these misogyny people alienate masses of women from surrendering to Krishna, which is in our opinion very sinful. This abusive mood towards children also alienated most of the children. This was not the mood, tone and tenor of the preaching of Srila Prabhupada who was always very kind, tolerant, respectful, appreciative and encouraging of women. Moreover this medieval anti-women agenda has been alienating women from ISKCON as soon as Srila Prabhupada departed, its a severe deviation.
We should moreover not be blocking any spirit soul from surrendering to Krishna, just because they have a woman's body or any other body. Everyone is part of Krishna and we should be helping them surrender and not physically attacking any vaishnava. As we see in the painting of a person beating upon the body of a Vaishnava in the Srimad Bhagavatam, ... his next unfortunate life is to be placed in the stone rollers in Yama's planet and punished for attacking a Vaishnava with violence. This is totally unaccepted behavior for Vaishnavas.
This violence on the body of a Vaishnava is described in shastra as the most sinful activity, perhaps there is nothing worse than this. Of course, these same people who will beat up vaishnavas physically will verbally beat upon any other vaishnava verbally, that is their standard for acceptable behavior. Mukunda's wife had to go to the police for help, and we also have to go to the police for help from these aggressive bullies. Its a pattern. Mukunda's pals certainly knows that Mukunda is a misogyny promoter and yet they promote Mukunda knowingly. Why are they and the GBC promoting this misogyny agenda? How will this help spread Lord Chaitanya's mission if we eliminate 50 percent of the population, i.e. the women, from participating?
And we see this misogyny as a major problem in our society overall. Radhanath was marrying off 13 years old girls to much older men, according to some of them who told me their horror stories. Those young women were being abused, Radhanatha would not help them when they came and told him their horror stories ... why are they citing his cheer leaders like Bhakta das? Of course, the same people who mistreat women often mistreat the vaishnavas, its a pattern. They mistreat women, they mistreat me, its a pattern.
And this Mukunda is having illicit sex in Vrndavana, ooops, another major problem prominent with the GBC's guru program i.e. "illicit sex in the holy dham"? This is another exploitation of women as a class, same identical pattern as the GBC guru process. Why is this person being cited as an authority by anyone? Srila Prabhupada says illicit sex in Vrndavana is the most serious of aparadhas there. Its forbidden. And I am the person having a meltdown here? No, anyone who would go to Vrndavana to have illicit sex with "someone they just met there," and behave like this in the holy land, has already been in a meltdown phase for a long time. They have never even understood the basic ABC of the religion.
Yep, not too surprising, this same pattern exists in bogus ISKCON -- misogyny, anti-women, and many of the leaders mistreat women -- as many of the ex-ISKCON women themselves have reported on various "women's complaints" sites. Its an epidemic almost. Sulochana called this program: the anti-women, anti-children, anti-family and pro-homosexuals and molesters agenda. This is a pattern from some of these leaders, and its strange indeed that all of these anti-women / children / family / anti-vaishnava folks all attack PADA? Or is this clearly yet another pattern? Of course we should expect that.

People should be helping me convince others that this program should be stopped, instead they are encouraging him and attacking us?
Anyway, you are right, the HKC Jaipur and Prahlad program are citing and supporting people like Bhakta das, a cheer leader of the Gaudiya Math and "saint" Radhanath swami. They are also quoting Urdhva ketu, a supporter of anti-ritviks like Rocana; Also citing Bhakti Ananda, who is against me for allegedly making propaganda against homosexuals (?) and he is against the ritviks; And they even cite the Australia site that is offending Srila Prabhupada. Thanks for pointing this out! You and me Mahesh were the original people to use the Prabhupadanuga title in the 1980s, now the so-called Prabhupadanugas want to hi-jack our title and remove us?
Why are they quoting these offenders to Srila Prabhupada people, when all of these folks are against Srila Prabhupada being established as the acharya? You are also correct, they only write about me all the time and not more important other topics. How did I become the whole important issue for these folks to be so obsessed with me all the time, for years and years together? Perhaps because we exposed their misogyny agenda? You are correct, they think demonizing me will help things, well that is what the GBC thought all along? Did that help them?
And yes, they have lots of dirt in their own closets, for example Bhakta das has a boat load of dirt in his, and thus they should not be making holier than thou propaganda against others. Instead of constantly correcting me, why didn't they correct Mukunda from his anti-women program in all this time? Why don't they curb some of their group's members like Bhakta das, and help their own members out first of all? This guy's closet is chock full of dirt. Why not convince Bhakta to renounce the Gaudiya Matha, instead they work with him to attack us?
I think that now that they have come out supporting Bhakta das, that shows they have nothing really genuine to say, he is against the ritviks and his people threatened to kill me in the past. Bhakta's pal Radhanath is alleged to have helped get Sulochana offed, are these the people we need to cite and work with? Of course, they say the Windle Turley case is all bad.
OK, well it was all bad, true enough, because things should not have come to this state in the first place. Mukunda's idea at the time was that all of the children should "die in a blood bath in Dallas," he thinks if he could have all these kids die, this would have been good publicity for Krishna. 1,000 dead children is his better publicity plan?
The fact that children were dying of suicide was the first problem here, and we already admit that the case was the best of a bad bargain, we had to save people's lives and we did. So this is another pattern, the same people who bully down on women also bully down on these poor victimized children. As Sulochana said, anti-women, anti-children, anti-family and pro-homosexual molesters. That is the pattern we are dealing with here.
And in 1997 we got several hundred innocent kids pulled out of these schools, and our opponents, ok the GBC and Mukunda das, are upset that happened. Some of these kids wrote and told me I saved them from the slaughterhouse, and of course the GBC and Mukunda did not like that. Why are they not happy we saved children's lives and saved them from abuse? Of course. if their program is abusive and exploitative towards women, then what? The abusers watch each other's backs, that is what some of these ex-children have told me at least.

These folks are not someone the ritviks should be promoting as their authority. My meltdown does not include citing the Radhanath groupies as my authorities. My meltdown does not include beating women and having illicit sex to exploit women in Vrndavana. Mukunda's pal Sanat has also had a bunch of run-ins if not severe confrontations with his neighbors and the Angelica police, and he has made Hare Krishnas look like fools over there. My friend who lives there says he regrets helping him move there "biggest mistake of my life was helping Sanat." These people are not making a better program, plain and simple.
Anyway, lets see if they can start to find another topic. I am sorry but after they began to cite Radhanath's supporters like Bhakta das, we had to make at least some reply. You are right, we should move on, we all have dirt in our closet, and if all we do is point out each other's dirt, we will not engage in the process of removing it.
Thanks for all your help over the years, you are counted as one of my true friends. We have lots of nice Prabhupadanuga devotees here in the San Francisco area and our program is increasing, that is what we need to focus on. Bangalore is trying to establish the legal acharya of ISKCON to be Srila Prabhupada, that is something that we all would benefit from, and we should all hope that happens for our sake, for ISKCON's sake, and for Srila Prabhupada's sake. Lets combine to go after the evil "Illuminati" GBC gurus and move Srila Prabhupada back into the ISKCON Vysasa seat. Lets do something positive. ys pd]
