ISKCON-Budhanilkantha operator in custody - The Himalayan Times - Nepal's No.1 English Daily Newspaper | Nepal News, Latest Politics, Business, World, Sports, Entertainment, Travel, Life Style News

HIMALAYAN TIMES NEWS 

KATHMANDU, JUNE 14

The Nepal Police have arrested an operator of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Budhanilkantha Municipality-5 for a case related to a child sexual abuse incident.

ISKCON member Suraj Krishna Shrestha is in police custody for investigation into child-related offences, said SP Pawan Kumar Bhattarai, spokesperson for the District Police Range Kathmandu, told The Himalayan Times.

He confirmed that Suraj Krishna Shrestha is in custody for an offence under the Children's Act. The case is still being investigated, and according to police, there is only one complaint and no multiple charges at this time.

"He is in our custody," said Bhattarai. "He has been arrested in connection with an offence under the Children's Act. It is under investigation," he said regarding the status of the case, adding, "There are no multiple charges."

SP Bhattarai further said, "There is one complaint, and the investigation is being carried out on that complaint." When asked about reports of a rape allegation, the officer said, "That is not the case. Shrestha has been taken in for investigation over an offence under that Act." He also stated that the arrest took place around four days ago.

Meanwhile, a series of shocking criminal complaints filed at the District Police Range, Kathmandu, have exposed an institutional nightmare of extreme physical torture and sexual exploitation of minor children at the Bhaktivedanta Gurukul run by International Society for Krishna Consciousness in Budhanilkantha.

Official case files reviewed by The Himalayan Times expose an internal conspiracy involving high-level institutional threats, destruction of evidence and manipulation, revealing systemic brutality against a five-year-old boy and multi-year sexual abuse of a young girl.

The victim's relative has lodged an official complaint, claiming that the operator of the Gurukul, Suraj Krishna Shrestha, has terrorised the relative's minor son from April 2023 to January 2024. The child endured repeated, horrific physical punishments. Shrestha systematically tortured the five-year-old, forcing him into painful stress positions and hanging him upside down with sharp iron pins piercing his thighs, calves and soles of his feet.

Other instances of psychological and physical terror involved pressing the child's chest against iron railings and dragging him repeatedly in front of an aggressive bull inside the compound while the administrators threatened to let the animal attack him, one of the victim's relatives told The Himalayan Times.

"The boy was also made to do forced labour, made to wash heavy institutional dishes and starved for seven days in a row on a punitive diet of dry beaten rice (chiura) only, which resulted in severe malnutrition and emergency hospitalisation," the relative told THT.

As per details mentioned in the complaint, the minor was forced to sleep next to communal toilets during an institutional trip to Vrindavan, India, and was brutally beaten for not washing heavy blankets. "The child was removed from the facility in a state of severe trauma and physical deterioration," one of the relatives confirmed.

PADA: OK so this same child cruelty stuff was reported going on in Vrndavana in the 1980s, and evidently -- still is now. That is what PADA has been saying, as long as the same managerial structure is in place, nothing will change. If anything, it looks like it could be getting worse.   

Moreover, the documents obtained by THT revealed that another investigation is underway concerning long-term child sexual abuse of their daughter at the same facility. As per the complaint, the main accused, 19-year-old Ishwar Shrestha, used his position in the Gurukul to repeatedly assault the victim between August 2021 and September 2022.

The detailed formal complaint said the victim was given a "bad touch" inside the kitchen of the institution, pinned down and forcibly kissed inside the main temple hall and repeatedly violated on the rooftop of the building. The constant abuse caused serious behavioural degradation in the minor, who began to have unprovoked crying fits and deep depression. The girl eventually confessed the trauma to a teacher, who alerted the family.

PADA: We heard reports of this same thing from other cases, terrorizing the victims not to speak up -- threatening harm to victims, or parents of victims etc.

Following the teacher's information, the victim's family and relatives decided to pursue legal action. The victim's relatives told THT that the girl is traumatised as a result of abuse and is recovering from a severe psychological impact.

"I do not know whether my child is ever going to recover from this," one of the parents said. The accused Ishwar Shrestha has since gone underground and is believed to be hiding in the ISKCON temple chain in Mathura, India, sources said.

PADA: Oh great, the perp was moved from one ISKCON temple to another to "hide from the authorities." That means ISKCON is evidently involved in moving perps, which has happened already. A Satsvarupa disciple said one of the perps at SDG's school had ALREADY been molesting in another zone, and he was moved to SDG's zone with no alarm sent to the SDG teachers from the previous zone. 

And he left SDG's zone with no alerts sent to the temple he moved to. It is like giving these perp guys free license to roam around and cuddle up -- with children in another zone.

The case files also show a concerted effort by the leadership of ISKCON Nepal to 'cover up' the crimes. A total of 13 high-profile individuals - including ISKCON Budhanilkantha President Sabin Regmi and operators Suraj Krishna Shrestha and Devina Shakha - have been formally named as co-conspirators in a plot to bury the allegations.

PADA: What about Mahavishnu swami, the head leader of the zone? I forgot, he was promoting the pedophile messiah's program in the West, and it bankrupted ISKCON in the USA. And he has moved shop over to Nepal and other "second and third world" places.

The institutional resistance escalated into outright lawlessness on April 22, 2026 (2083/01/09 BS). An independent internal body, the ISKCON Child Protection Oversight Committee, came to Kathmandu to investigate. A hostile mob of 30 to 34 people, led directly by Suraj Krishna Shrestha and Devina Shakha, raided the flat of the investigators at the Buigal Bagan Apartments.

The mob beat up the investigation team and threatened to kill them. They forcibly deleted electronic evidence from their laptops and mobile phones. The principal of the Gurukul surrendered himself and, in police interrogation, initially admitted to these crimes, but the victims' families have expressed deep alarm over a massive institutional cover-up.

PADA: OK so the investigators were beaten up and threatened with death. And they had their electronic devices seized. Hey like they beat up and threatened, and even killed, our people over when we exposed their molesting project. 

The offenders have massive financial resources and high-level influence, and they have hired a team of defence lawyers who are actively manipulating the case, as per victim relatives.

PADA: Ok they always lawyer up. "The offenders have massive financial resources" and they hired a team of defense lawyers. Wow, same thing they did in the USA, hired big time law firms to defend the molester messiah's project. 

Someone told me -- poor ISKCON legal team guy Mrgendra has been sent out on missions to defend the molester messiah's project's BBT rights. And he was sort of originally sincerely trying to help ISKCON, but once it morphed into the molester messiah's program, he was sort of stuck there with that lot. He probably would like to get himself out of there, but he has made his bed with them and cannot free himself. 

Sura told me the same type thing, he hates the GBC, he agrees -- there is for sure a lot of child molesting -- and he personally would not send ANY child EVER to their program, but -- they pay his rent and give him subsistence money. So he has to go along with their process. 

That is very sad, I feel sorry for those guys. They are serving Kamsa's empire, knowingly or not, OK at this stage they probably know it, but he is their paymaster. In any case, this is what happens, they orchestrate God awful things and then --lawyer up to defend their regime. And then all the perps, their thug defenders, the defense lawyers etc. are implicated in the karma of supporting the regime, and that karma will be severe. 

OK the karma is catching up. 

"In a bizarre legal manoeuvre, defence counsel falsely claimed in court that the Gurukul had shut down four to five years ago, completely ignoring concrete evidence that the school is still operational," the victims' relatives told THT.
#ISKCON-Budhanilkantha

PADA: OK first lie, then lie again, then cheat and cheat, and then bully people when all that fails. So this Mahavishnu guy floats around with a clown hat and clowns around like everything is some sort of comedy show. But if we cross his program, the knives come out, go get the dissenters. The investigators get beat up, have their phone devices seized, they get death threats etc. 

And did I forget to mention someone said Mahavishnu had Nepal boys sent to Mayapur and they got abused there. And he was thus "engaged in human trafficking." I dunno, but we do know the track record of their program is not good. 

Sulochana said these ISKCON leader guys come across as all smiles and lovey dovey, but if we cross them, we will get beat up -- or killed. He said the ISKCON leaders are "the velvet glove that covers the iron fist." 

But this is good news, get the police and media involved, and shake them down. That is the best -- if not only -- way that works factually. Of course as soon as anyone takes their sacred molester messiahs program to task, then we have GBC folks and their HKC Jaipur aliied guys crying that their molester messiahs program leaders will no longer have money for their Mercedes. 

Sorry, we need to take this operation down, it is harming children, sometimes -- or often -- with irreparable LIFETIME damage. It needs to be stopped. Pronto! Honestly, I am always amazed it is still going on at all. None of these leader guys has learned anything in all this time, and the followers often have become fanatical die hard supporters. This is a DANGEROUS cult.

JPS ex-Servant

My name is Aniruddha Chandra Das and I was initiated by Jayapataka Swami in
1986. From 1990 to 1995 I was his assistant and bodyguard, I traveled with him all over the world while my family lived in Mayapur. In all those years I witnessed
the same things that Prem Sagar das mentioned in his letter, and that is why I
agree with him.

When I traveled with JPS to Dallas in 1994, the wife of the temple commander of that temple, who collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for her guru, Tamal Krishna Gosvami, and who had their children in that city's gurukula, presented JPS with a folder with a detailed report on the abuses suffered by her children there.

First, her first son was abused, and she reported this to her guru, who told her that he was going to take care of the matter and sent her to travel to continue collecting. When she returned, she found out that her first child had been abused again and that the second had also been abused. She told JPS all the details in front of me and handed him a folder containing the full report on both cases.

JPS gave me that folder, and in Mayapur he asked me to file it in a cabinet in his office In other words nothing was done about it. The only one who read the content of that folder was me and that is why I can confirm to what had happened No GBC or authority had access to that information.

On another occasion, when the gurukulis had sued ISKCON for millions of dollars for the abuse case, JPS was upset and complained that why should they give anything to them if he and other GBCs had not done any direct abuse to them, in fact they should the abusers directly not the GBC.

At that time I gave my life for him and as his bodyguard in Mayapur I carried a 38-caliber pistol. One day, speaking directly about this matter, he told me that if anything happened, that if I even used the gun to defend him, he would say that he knew nothing about it as a result would be leaving me at the mercy of whatever could happen to me. 

It was that moment that I realized, I thought that for years I had been giving my life for this person who told me that I would have to take care of myself, I would have to face the consequences by Indian Law if I ever use the gun in order to protect JPS.

Decoding Karma

Dhritrastra and the Karma That Awaited Him

After the Kurukshetra war ended, the palace of Hastinapura was filled with unbearable silence. The battlefield had become quiet, the conches had stopped, and the warriors who once shook the earth were gone. But the greatest sorrow was inside the heart of one old king: Dhritrastra.

He had been blind from birth, but now his life had entered a darkness far deeper than physical blindness. His hundred sons were dead. Duryodhana, Dushasana, and all the sons whom he had loved, protected, excused, and favoured were gone forever. The king who once sat on the throne of Hastinapura now sat helpless, broken by grief.

In that terrible pain, Dhritrastra turned to Krishna and asked, “Why has this happened to me? I know I have made mistakes. I know I was attached to my sons. But what terrible sin have I committed that I should be born blind and then lose all my hundred sons?”

Krishna, who knows the past, present, and future, did not answer to wound him. He answered to awaken him. With compassion, Krishna revealed the truth of his past karma.

He told Dhritrastra, “Fifty births ago, you were a hunter. One day, in the forest, you saw a tree where many birds lived with their young ones. Out of cruelty, you threw a burning net over that tree. The helpless baby birds were trapped in the flames and died. The parent birds managed to escape, but the heat of the fire blinded them. They flew away crying, unable to see, unable to save their children, carrying unbearable pain in their hearts.”

When Dhritrastra heard this, he trembled. The suffering he had caused to those innocent birds had returned to him. Because the parent birds were blinded, he was born blind. Because the young birds were burnt and destroyed, he had to experience the loss of his own hundred sons.

But Dhritrastra had another question. “Krishna, if I committed this sin fifty births ago, why did the reaction come only now? Why did it not punish me in that life itself? Why did it wait for so long?”

Krishna explained the subtle working of karma. To suffer the pain of losing one hundred sons, Dhritrastra first needed the good karma to receive one hundred sons. That sinful reaction could not fully manifest until the proper condition was created. Over many births, he accumulated enough pious merit to be born as a king and become the father of one hundred sons. Only then did the old karma ripen and strike.

This is the frightening precision of karma. It may wait, but it does not forget. It may remain silent, but it does not disappear. It may sleep for one birth, ten births, or fifty births, but when the right time comes, it awakens.

In the laws of this world, a person may sometimes escape. A criminal may find a loophole. A clever person may hide evidence. A powerful person may avoid punishment. Human law can be delayed, manipulated, or even defeated. But the law of karma cannot be cheated. There is no bribing it, no hiding from it, no technical escape, no clever argument, and no secret place where one can run. The witness is within the heart, and nature records every action.

This is why karma is not ordinary justice. It is divine arrangement working through material nature. Every action becomes a seed. Every seed waits for the right season. Good karma brings its own fruit, and bad karma brings its own fruit. One does not simply cancel the other. Dhritrastra’s good karma gave him kingship and one hundred sons. His bad karma brought blindness and the pain of losing them.

This story should not make us hopeless. It should make us careful. No cruelty is small. No pain caused to the helpless is forgotten. No selfish action vanishes just because time has passed. But the same truth also gives hope. No prayer is lost. No service is wasted. No sincere chanting of Krishna’s holy names disappears.
Dhritrastra’s tears teach us that karma may be delayed, but there is no escaping it by material means. The only real shelter is not cleverness, power, position, or argument. The only shelter beyond karma is surrender to Krishna.

In Part 1.5, we will see how bhakti can do what good karma cannot do: burn the root of karma itself and free the soul from the cycle of action and reaction. Like and follow my page for the next part.

Vedabase Imbroglio / JPS Health / Hindus 06 13 26

 

PLEASE DO NOT RE-WRITE MY WORDS

From: Facebook

VEDABASE IMBROGLIO

ABOUT USING THE NAME "VEDABASE"

We have received a cease and desist letter signed by lawyer Harvey Mechanic (known in the community as M asegendra Dāsa), on behalf of the Bhaktivedanta Archives, demanding that we stop using the name "Vedabase" and abandon the vedabase.cc domain before June 17, 2026. We have attached the whole letter as an image and translation in a comment.

We want to share the facts with the community:

• According to the Public Trademark Records (USPTO), the American registration of "VEDABASE" dates back to 2015 — not 1995 — and was canceled in 2021. The registration that is now being invoked is from a few days ago. That is, there is no consolidated brand "used worldwide since 1995": there is one registration that expired and another newly created this May 7, for this management.

• On the day we offered to vedabase.io to publish the original texts of Srīla Prabhupāda, and the proposal was rejected. Let's keep a record of that.

• vedabase.cc offers these texts for free and without profit.

It is difficult to understand that an entity like the Bhaktivedanta Archives who always complains about having no funds, devotes money and legal letters to curb a service that gives away original texts, rather than disseminating them.

On our part, we already have several alternative domains available. If we ever had to change our address, it will be a simple step, we will announce it here and access to the original texts will not be interrupted. Whoever wants to continue reading them will just have to point in the new direction.

We will keep the community informed of any updates. Our commitment is only one: to preserve and disseminate original texts, free of cost to whoever needs them.

PADA: Unfortunately this has been an ongoing issue for a long time, why is the GBC changing the books? OK we know already, the GBC's main editor in chief Jayadvaita swami has hi-jacked the rights to the books and he is re-editing them.

And as for "confusing the public," people write PADA asking me all the time about the changed books, who authorized these changes, which editions are not changed and etc. Changing the books is creating this confusion all by itself

Why has JAS been chosen by the molester messiah's project to re-edit the books?

Because JAS supports their whole illicit sex guru parampara idea and says ISKCON's gurus can be found engaged in illicit sex with men, women and possibly children. OK it is a molester messiahs project! And he is the pedophile messiah's sampradaya's topmost editor, writer, enabler, apologist and position paper help mate for that project.

So he is like the darling writer and spokesman of the pedophile messiah's project's GBC, because he openly says it is an illicit sex contaminated parampara, left and right. He admits they are promoting deviants as God's successors, and thus -- the GBC makes him their prime editor and spokesman.

I even congratulated JAS at Rathayatra, "you admit, you have a guru parampara of illicit sex with men, women and maybe children, ok actually minors. Thanks, better summary than I ever could have wrote myself! Your messiahs from heaven gurus are doing the hokey pokey with everyone in the house!" (He ran away from me at that point.)

And there are also sordid reports of JAS's former messiah Kirtanananda trying to have sex with his cat, among all his shennanigans with boys in the cottage and motorhome. And that is why Kirtanananda is one of the former messiahs of the JAS clan, who was presented with a divine samadhi by other folks in the JAS team in Vrndavana (like Radhanath). Even a media person asked me "can you tell me exactly what is homosexual pedophile samadhi"? I dunno, ask the JAS people.

And Jayadvaita's pedophile messiah's project clan defended Kirtanananda by sending hit men out -- to ice me and Sulochana. And Sulochana was iced, I would have been too without help from the police. These people mean business!

The only good news is that Harikesh advises gurus using condoms when having illicit sex, so there won't a bunch of mini-Harikesh's running amok. And this is the guru parampara we need to make authorized re-editing versions of the Vedas?

In other words, Jayadvaita is the head honcho of the anal reconstructive surgery epidemic / Auschwitz for kids "messiahs from heaven" project. He even told me, the reason people (like 5 years old gurukula children) are getting a bad guru is "they chose the wrong guru." The 5 years old children are to be blamed for making illicit sex with men, women and children into their gurus? They chose that? Wow, victim blaming on steroids.

Wait, what? No, the GBC votes in these gurus, not the five years old children. This JAS guy is blaming HIS program's OWN victims for the intense suffering they endured in Jayadvaita's project's "gurukula", including reported starving, beating, sexual abuse and in sum, Auschwitz for kids.

Did I forget to mention we helped children victims sue these gurus in 1986, and again in 1999, for mass child abuse? Did I forget to mention, a woman wrote to complain to PADA when I said maybe 50% of the Jayadvaita swami guru system is homosexuals, and she chastised me severely, saying it is more like 95% -- or more? And PADA is misleading people claiming it is only 50% homosexuals?

After all the $400,000,000 lawsuit problem came out, then the JAS people started a lawsuit against the Akshaya Patra directors, who are feeding millions of kids in India. Allegedly this has cost ISKCON $20,000,000. And yeah they lost the $400,000,000 case and bankrupted ISKCON. And these are the people we want to edit the Vedas? A certified mass child abuse cult project, that beats and kills us dissenters, and its leaders like JAS?

A program that is sued for NOT FEEDING KIDS, wants to jail the leaders of a free food program that is FEEDING KIDS. And all this is done magically because they spend endless amounts on lawyers.

But yeah, they always complain they have no money, and that is why the Jayaptaka people wrote me a nasty note saying I cost them $100,000,000 in legal issues, helping various lawsuits. They even said I am more expensive than the TOVP. OK they are only able to promote illicit sex with men, women and children as God's messiahs -- by hiding behind a wall of lawyers. Anyway, if anyone can help the original books folks, they should.

But yeah, the GBC lost their charity status in India and evidently Radhanath's ECO village lost their charity status too, because this is a pedophile messiah's project, that bans, beats, molests, sues and kills people, and not a bona fide religion. A homosexual and pedophile messiah's project has hi-jacked ISKCON, and the books, and wants to kill me for not going along, and that is what happened here and we all know it. You can hide behind a wall of lawyers here, but not on Yamaraja's planet.

CONCERNS ABOUT ISKCON'S "HINDUIZATION"

ISKCON is the bona fide movement for universal deliverance through the Holy Names of the Lord because it was founded by Lord Chaitinya's pure devotee representative. However, self-appointed thugs "Godfathers" hijacked the movement and injected their own change disease into it. As a result, the books were changed,, mahatma disciples of Prabhupada were expelled by the thousands, Back to Godhead was diminished, children were molested, and millions of dollars were squandered. The wake-up call came when ISKCON was sued for 400 million dollars, and had to fork over 15 million and declare bankruptcy. As a result, the leaders turned to flattering Hindu professionals in America and elsewhere in order to obtain necesary funds. With that came one compromise after another until the essence was basically lost and it has become a social meeting place for Hindus.
As far as I am concerned, that is fine. Fine, providing the Hindus learn how to follow Prabhupada's example and go out and convince the Westerners that ISKCON stands for pure bhakti and not Indian get-togethers. But only a tiny fraction of them have become preachers. Who is to blame? Their gurus.

The Chanting is popular, just -- not in ISKCON's ghost town temples and disappeared samkirtana process. 

Lajja Rasa / Locanananda / Rupanuga

Radharani's Lajja‑bhava (shyness) -- *** Appears also in the hearts of other Krishna‑bhaktas in different levels and aspects, but it appears fully in Sri Radharaṇi. It is called an emotional ornament (bhava‑alankara) within Vaisnava rasa theology. And it plays a partial and sometime major role in the different moods of Radha and Krishna's mādhurya‑rasa leelas. 

Lajja is also defined as timidness, shyness, bashfulness, or modesty -- in Radha’s feelings for Krishna. Sometimes it is mixed or blended -- with the qualities of humbleness and submissiveness, which is another emotional component of their rasas.

Rūpa Gosvami’s Bhakti‑rasamṛta‑sindhu classifies lajja as one of the supporting emotions (sañcārī‑bhāvas) that enrich the primary rasas, such as shyness and bashfulness -- added to other aspects of these rasas. Thus Lajjā is one such supporting emotions, appearing especially in mādhurya‑rasa, the conjugal mood of Radha‑Krishna. Rūpa Gosvāmī also lists lajjā under the vyabhicāri‑bhāvas (also called sañcārī‑bhāvas), which are called transient emotions that arise and subside at different times, enriching the permanent mood (sthāyī‑bhāva). The Southern Ocean of Bhakti‑rasāmṛta‑sindhu includes the section on vyabhicāri‑bhāvas (Fourth Wave) where lajja is further categorized.

Thus Radharani is said to be shy, humble, bashful, modest and submissive -- as part of the highest levels of Krishna prema. And these are descriptions of divine qualities all Vaisnava devotees of Radha and Krishna aspire to follow. And thus it is said, a Vaishnava tries to follow in the footsteps of the gopis, and Sri Radharani is the foremost of the gopis.

MOWING THE LAWN 

PADA: Oh no pilgrims! Someone told PADA that his friends in Israel call bombing Muslim nations "mowing the lawn." We will bomb the bejeepers out of them today, but we know it is a question of time, the grass will grow back again, and we will have to mow them down all over again, and again, and again tommorrow and forever. And he said, they all know this process never actually ends, and never will end. 

We will never actually end the process of mowing the lawn, it is perpetual. And they seem to want it that way. And now that we are helping them mow the lawn, they are happy as clams! Wowsers. Say it ain't so! 

And yep, same type things happened in ISKCON. We need to mow down those pesky Prabhupada worshipers! Then our pedophile messiah's project will survive. But they keep re-appearing! OK lets sue them in Delhi court, and get rid of em that way! Maybe not!

MAHESH RAJA: Locanananda

The GBC could convene and declare that henceforward those giving diksa would by referred to as officiating acharyas in accordance with the transcendental nomenclature suggested by Srila Prabhupada himself on May 28, 1977

https://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2026/06/new-vedabase-locanananda-radha-kund.html

Note: Locanandana initiated 2 devotees in New York THEN he told them they were HIS disciples NOT Srila Prabhupada's. (One of the devotee he initiated told me this). This "Officiating Acarya" cunning MANIPULATION from Locanananda is his CON ARTIST job. July 9th 1977 specifically states that disicples so initiated are Srila Prabhupada's. 1st and 2nd Initiation is ON BEHALF of Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna!

PADA: Yeah Locanananda is all over the map. He is with us, with the GBC, and for himself, all at the same time. He has made some good comments, and off the wall comments, but overall, he seems to be hiding what his real idea is so he can make double dealing secret programs, to promote -- himself. Very sad. ys pd

RESPONSE TO RUPANUGA / TO BE DIKSHA GURU ONE NEEDS THE DIRECT ORDER OF THE ACHARYA

Compiled by Yashoda-nandana dasa
Srila Prabhupada explained that His Guru Maharaja never appointed anybody as acarya.

"They wanted to create artificially somebody as acarya..."

Note: The ISKCON GBC artificially created 11 acaryas in March of 1978.

"… and everything failed. They did not consider even with common sense: that if guru Maharaja wanted to appoint somebody as acarya, why did he not say? …

Note: If Srila Prabhupada wanted to appoint 11 acaryas [diksa-gurus] for ISKCON, why did he not directly say?

"...He said so many things, and this point He missed? The real point?

Note: Similarly, Srila Prabhupada said so many things in the last few months of 1977, and the real point He missed?

"… and they insisted upon it. They declared some unfit person to become…

SPC (BBT 1991) 15.08.76

Note: And the GBC misheard, misunderstood, and misrepresented to the body of ISKCON devotees that 11 had been “appointed” as acaryas. And they insisted upon it. And they declared some unfit persons to become acaryas.

If His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada did not appoint anyone as acarya [or diksa guru] for His mission, what makes the leading secretaries of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada think that He would appoint one acarya or a group of acaryas for His Mission, in direct contradiction of His criticism of this whole concept in August of 1976.

They never thought, "Why Guru Mahārāja gave us instruction so many things, why he did not say that this man should be ācārya."

Prabhupāda: Every devotee, they must follow the rules and regulations, that's all…

Acyutānanda: What prompts the soul to misuse his independence or improperly use...?

Prabhupāda: Because he has got little independence. Yathecchasi tathā, he has got this.

Acyutānanda: Why do some misuse it and some never misuse it?

Prabhupāda: That depends on him. If one is determined that "I shall only act according to the advice of my Guru Mahārāja," then he's perfect. One has to submit like Arjuna said, sisyas te ham sadhi mam prapannam [Bg. 2.7]. 

Otherwise, he'll argue.

Devotee: Even nitya-siddha has guru.

Yaśomatīnandana: Even the liberated soul, nitya-siddha.

Prabhupāda: Liberated soul never says that "I am liberated." As soon as he says "liberated," he's a rascal. A liberated soul will never say that "I am liberated." That is liberated. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He is God—guru more mūrkha dekhi' karila śāsan [Cc. Ādi 7.71]. 

"My Guru Mahārāja saw Me a fool number one, and he has chastised Me." He's God. This is the example. If one remains always a servant ever - lastingly of guru, then he is liberated. And as soon as he thinks that he is liberated, he's a rascal. That is the teaching of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Guru more mūrkha dekhi'. Caitanya Mahāprabhu is mūrkha? 

Why He's posing Himself that mūrkha? "I am fool number one." That means that is liberation. You must be ready always to be chastised by guru. Then he's liberated. And as soon as he thinks that "I am beyond this chastisement, I am liberated," he's a rascal. Why Caitanya Mahāprabhu says guru more mūrkha dekhi' karila śāsan? 

This is sahajiyā-vāda. He is thinking, "Oh I have become liberated. I don't require any direction of my guru. I'm liberated." Then he's rascal.

"Why this Gauḍīya Maṭha failed? Because they tried to become more than guru. He, before passing away, he gave all direction and never said that "This man should be the next ācārya." But these people, just after his passing away they began to fight, who shall be ācārya. That is the failure. They never thought, "Why Guru Mahārāja gave us instruction so many things, why he did not say that this man should be ācārya?" They wanted to create artificially somebody as ācārya and everything failed. They did not consider even with common sense that if Guru Mahārāja wanted to appoint somebody as ācārya, why did he not say? He said so many things, and this point he missed? The real point? And they insisted upon it. They declared some unfit person to become ācārya. Then another man came, then another, ācārya, another ācārya. So better remain a foolish person perpetually to be directed by Guru Mahārāja. That is perfection. And as soon as he learns the Guru Mahārāja is dead, "Now I am so advanced that I can kill my guru and I become guru." Then he's finished."

Yaśomatīnandana: They kept fighting, and when the real ācārya emerged they all became wonderstruck. They all became baffled. Now they all know in their hearts. They all know it. I can see. They all know that who is real ācārya.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: The real ācārya emerges by his own preaching?

Devotee: Yes. (devotees offer obeisances)

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end) Srila Prabhupada conversation, August 16, 1976, Bombay, India

Srila Prabhupada explains that there is no record that HDGBSTP nominated “any acarya” after him “… I have also read specifically your articles on the matter of acaryas, wherein on the 14th paragraph I see the acarya shall be entitled to nominate in in writing his successive acarya. But we do not find any record where our Srila Prabhupada nominated any acarya after Him. Different persons have interpreted on this point, and everyone of our Godbrothers are acting as acarya, so this is a controversial point which I do not wish to enter into while we are proposing for co-operation…” Srila Prabhupada letter 1969 (SPL (VI 1987) 69.8.38)

Note: Where is the actual verifiable record that Srila Prabhupada [HDG ACBSP] 

“nominated any acarya[s] after Him”?

Srila Prabhupada’s definition of diksa.

“Then you can say ‘Yes, I know everything.‘ Diksa. Diksa, initiation, diksa, this Sanskrit word, diksa, means divya-jnanam ksipayati ask from spiritual master with service…..”

That very word initiation suggests, "This is the beginning." Dīkṣā, dīkṣā. Di... Divya. There are two words, divya-jñāna. Divya-jñāna means transcendental, spiritual knowledge. So divya is dī, and jñānam, kṣapayati, explaining, that is kṣa, dī-kṣā. This is called dīkṣā, dīkṣā, the combination. So dīkṣā means the initiation to begin transcendental activities. That is called initiation. Therefore, we take promise from the disciple that "You chant so many times," "Yes, sir." "You observe these rules and regulations," "Yes, sir." That is initiation. He has to observe; he has to chant. Then everything comes automatically.

SP Lecture. Auckland, New Zealand, February 22, 1973

Srila Prabhupada defines obedience.

“I may say many things to you, but when I say something directly to you, you do it. Your first duty is to do that, you cannot argue -‘Sir, you said to me do like this before’, no that is not your duty, what I say to you now you do it, that is obedience you cannot argue.”

SP S.B. Lecture, 14/4/75, Hyderabad

Guru cannot be self-made – Guru must be authorized.

Guru cannot be self-made. No. There is no such single instance throughout the whole Vedic literature. And nowadays, so many rascals, they are becoming guru without any authority. That is not guru. You must be authorized. Evam parampara-praptam imam ra… As soon as the parampara is….kalena yogo nasta parantapa, immediately finished. The spiritual potency finished. You can dress like a guru, you can talk big, big words, but it will never be effective.”
Srila Prabhupada’s Lecture, February 27th, 1977, Mayapur, India

Guru must be authorized by the bona fide Guru.

“Self-made guru cannot be guru. He must be authorized by the bona fide guru. Then he’s guru. This is the fact…Similarly, bona fide guru means he must be authorized by the superior guru.”

SP NOD Lecture, October 31. 1972

Guru must be authorized by his predecessor spiritual master.

“One should take initiation from a bona fide spiritual master coming in the disciplic succession, who is authorized by his predecessor spiritual master. This is called diksa-vidhana.” (S.B. 4.8.54, purport)

Guru must be ordered by his guru.

Prabhupada: Try to understand. Don’t go very speedily. A guru can become guru when he’s ordered by his guru. That’s all. Otherwise nobody SP Bg. Lecture, 28th October 1975

DIKSA GURU MUST BE ORDERED
“Vallabha Bhatta wanted to be initiated by Gadadhara Pandita, but Gadadhara Pandita refused, saying, “The work of acting as a spiritual master is not possible for me. “I am completely dependent. My Lord is Gauracandra, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. I cannot do anything independently, without His order.” CC, Antya 7:150-151

Position of the actual guru.

“An actual guru always remains the servant of his own guru and the predecessor acaryas. Attempting to become a guru without one’s own guru’s order is a materialistic ambition. Accepting followers and circumventing one’s own guru is offensive.” Ref. VedaBase MGM 22-11

Srila Prabhupada explains how he became the leader of the KC movement. Guru must be ordered by His guru.

“Indian man: When did you become spiritual the leader of Krsna Consciousness?

Srila Prabhupada: What is that?

Brahmananda: He is asking when did you become the spiritual leader of Krsna Consciousness?

Srila Prabhupada: When my Guru Maharaja ordered me. This is the guru parampara.

Indian man: Did it…

Srila Prabhupada: Try to understand. Don’t go very speedily. A guru can become guru when he is ordered by his guru. That’s all. Otherwise, nobody can become guru.” SP Bg. Lecture, 28/10/75

Guru must be authorized / Guru cannot be self-made. Position of gurus without authority.

Guru must be authorized by the bona fide guru.

“Guru cannot be self-made. No. There is no such single instance throughout the whole Vedic literature. And nowadays, so many rascals, they are becoming guru without any authority. That is not guru.

“Self-made guru cannot be guru. He must be authorized by the bona fide guru. Then he’s guru. This is the fact…Similarly, bona fide guru means he must be authorized by the superior guru.”

SP NOD Lecture, October 31. 1972

Guru must be authorized person.

“Therefore, guru must be authorized person, not that bhumi-phala-guru. No. I am guru,” no. You cannot become guru unless you are agent to draw out the mercy water from the ocean of mercy of Krsna. That is guru. And therefore, a guru is not an ordinary person. He is the representative, bona fide representative of Krsna.”

SP SB Lecture, November 30, 1976

Guru cannot impart instructions without being authorized.

“The schoolmasters in the modern days are paid agents for giving some information, but the spiritual master is not a paid agent. Nor can he impart instruction without being authorized.” SB:2.9.43, purport

Srila Prabhupada predicts what happens when the acarya disappears?

“Unfortunately, when the acarya disappears, rogues and non-devotees take advantage and immediately begin to introduce unauthorized principles in the name of so-called svamis, yogis, philanthropists, welfare workers and so on.”
SB 4.28.48

Do not make addition, alteration. / Results of making additions and alterations.
Many times, they give me very great credit that I have done wonderful. Yes, I have done wonderful. But what is the reason? Because I am not a rascal. I speak what Krsna has spoken. That’s all. Very easy. Everyone can do that. Not only I. Any of you, you can do this. Simply speak what is…, what Krsna has said. That’s all. Don’t make addition, alteration. Then you become rascal. Immediately you become rascal.

Go to right person who has seen. Do not make your own interpretation. 

Prabhupada: Therefore, Krsna says, tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya: “One who knows, go and understand from them, from the guru.” Don’t make your interpretation, rascal. You shall remain always arascal. Then what is the use of all these verses? If it is so easy to understand Krsna then why Krsna says, tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya: “Then you will understand. Go to the right person who has seen.” .

Have fun with the typical misrepresentation of Srila Prabhupada’s"s final oder.
See at the end...

"I will name some of you regular gurus"

But the unedited, non adulterated May 28, 1977 conversation does not contain this fanciful interpretation and fabrication.

Mr. Rupanuga has conveniently ignored the words "When I order.."

Which leads to the important question "When did Srila Prabhupada factually order any of his disciples as "regular gurus" or initiating acharyas.

RUPANUGA PRABHU IS OUR SENIORMOST SRILA PRABHUPADA DISCIPLE. He served on Srila Prabhupada’s GBC for over 30 years, and had more direct contact and association with Srila Prabhupada than all the rest of them together. He is now in his early 80’s and has the wisdom of maturity and a lifetime of sincere devotion to Srila Prabhupada. He never chose to act as an initiating guru although that option was there for him. Instead he chose to serve Srila Prabhupada’s original mission based on love and trust.

Maybe we should hear what he has to say about such important issues…….

RUPANUGA PRABHU WRITES:

SRILA PRABHUPADA'S BATTLEFIELD COMMISSIONS

"Actually, I have not given any of you sannyas. But I am in a war with Maya, the material energy, and I need leaders. It is called in wartime, 'battlefield commission.'

There is no qualified leaders, but someone has to lead the charge. So, you take every fifth man, 'You are now lieutenant of the squad.' He is really a private, but we make him lieutenant for the day and he leads the charge. It is to be understood that you are not sufficiently equipped for this fight and most of you will go down."

(Srila Prabhupada Conv., July 1976)

It has been revealed by witnesses that six months later, at The Kumba Mela in mid-January, 1977, there was a meeting of all the sannyasis present there, 35-40 of them, with Srila Prabhupada. The witnesses report that Srila Prabhupada was very angry and was loudly chastising them, saying: "This is not sannyas! This is not meaning of sannyas; you are making a mockery of sannyas!" He demanded that no more sannyasis be created, as he also demanded in the January 7th meeting, a week before the Kumba Mela.

In the conversation on Jan. 7th 1977, Srila Prabhupada told Jagadisa GBC, and Trivikram Maharaj, Hari Sauri, Palika dasi, Dr. Patel, who were also present: "But this hypocrisy should be stopped. First of all, there will be no sannyasi anymore. I have got very bad experience. And, at least we are not going to create new sannyasis. And those who have fallen, let them marry, live like respectable gentlemen. I have no objection. After all, young man, fallen down—that's all right. It is by nature's way. But marry that girl..." (page 331, Vol 28, Conv. Books.)

Earlier, during that same conversation, page 318, he also said: "This should be strictly outlawed, no more sannyasis. And those who have fallen, you get them married..." Srila Prabhupada went into considerable detail regarding his reasons during this conversation. And there were no recommendations for sannyas that upcoming Gaurpurnima on March 5th1977, as was previously usually given to Srila Prabhupada at Gaurpurnima time.

However, he gave three sannyas initiations on May 29th 1977, to Bhakticaru, Premabhakti and Bhakticaitanya, all Bengalis, in Vrindavan, the very day after the May 28th GBC meeting! Bhakticaru Swami had just met Srila Prabhupada four months earlier and was receiving sannyas, first, and second initiations all at one time!

PADA: Good, so on Jan 7th, 1977 they are falling down left and right, and are thus not qualified for sannyasa. Worse, they are making a mockery of the sannyasa order. Thus! They should get married and be householders. But suddenly -- one year later -- on Jan 7th, 1978, they are telescoped to being the eternal residents of Krishna loka and servants of the gopis? How is that even possible. 

And why didn't Rupanuga and others know that telescoping "unqualified persons for sannyasa" would result in scandals and disasters by making them -- eternally liberated acharyas? OK a few exceptions were made in 1977, but the overall tone and tenor was to suspend sannyasa. Never mind we all knew these sannyasas were failing left and right. 

These three sannyas initiations are erroneously cited as proof that Srila Prabhupada was rescinding his order to discontinue sannyas in Iskcon. But it was his prerogative to make exceptions to the rule he had made a few months before. Why did he? To strengthen the Indian Yatra? 

(Note, they were all Bengalis.) 

But this does not change the fact that he ordered the devotees--..."there will be no sannyasi anymore. I have got very bad experience." "This should be strictly outlawed, no more sannyas." (Jan. 7th 1977) Those who are doubtful should read these conversations, which were quite descriptive and definitive, not tentative or temporary.

It was Srila Prabhupada's prerogative to make an exception, but that exception was later used as an excuse to continue sannyas initiations everywhere after his disappearance. And the exception was made the rule—surreptitiously. This is cheating, and the result has been the continual evolution of an unauthorized elitist priesthood with wealth, followers and prestige. But the truth is, Srila Prabhupada stopped his sannyasi "battlefield commissions" BEFORE HE LEFT.

During this January 7th conversation, Srila Prabhupada also spoke strongly and positively about the grihastha ashram. Actually, the history is that the movement was initially spread by grihasthas, and the whole GBC was originally all grhasthas. None of the above information was passed on to the rest of the GBC, or to the general devotees, and therefore nothing was done about it. Nothing has been done about it still, till this day!

And when Tamal Krishna took sannyas, Srila Prabhupada wanted him replaced on the GBC, but he refused to leave. That is a fact; I was there, but Srila Prabhupada knew how far he could bend certain bamboos without breaking them, and Tamal Krishna could not bend very far, so he didn’t insist.

Your servant,

Rupanuga das, ACBSP

PADA: Rupanuga was still propping up homosexual and pedophile messiah Kirtanananda as their acharya in 1986, when me and Sulochana were trying to bring him down. Then the Rupanuga reformers excommunicated Sulochana (and me de facto). Sulochana said "they painted a bull's eye on my back to get me assassinated." 

And a few months later, he was. 

Rupanuga knew they were not qualified for sannyasa and therefore not qualified to be acharyas, but so did many of the rest of us. So he promoted a very dangerous illusion that conditioned souls are God's servants, and then all the banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and murders started -- and these guys are responsible for the results because they co-created this imbroglio. 

And then I had to live with a constant stream of death threats for most of my adult life as a result. But I am not complaining too much. At least I was not a child in Rupaniga's program's "death camp for kids" aka Auschwitz for kids, from which victims told me they were starved, beaten, had bones broken and teeth knocked out, and also raped and insulted constantly etc. 

Never mind a number of them told me they had not even been trained properly in basic schooling of reading, writing and math, so they had a hard jump start getting into the material world. Some of them just could not make it and -- died in different ways, often horrible ways.

And thus a number of victims committed suicide, or died from drugs and so on, and many are not doing well now with all sorts of physical and mental trauma issues etc. At least I was not a victim of Rupanauga's anal reconstructive surgery epidemic for kids program, as a kid, but I was a victim of being hunted for death because -- I advocated for those kids. 

If they would hunt me to kill me for being an advocate, imagine how much pressure they put on their program's kid victims to stay silent. In any case, someone's party will collectively be held accountable for all this eventually, and it will not only be the perps, but also all their advocates, hand maidens, enablers, associates, apologists, sycophants, guru wanna-be pals etc. 

I kinda like Rupanaga personally, but dude, you really backed the wrong party here sir, and your fate is now FULLY tied to theirs. And that cannot be changed even by presidential decree pardons, you are culpable, and you will have to pay for that support at some time, sorry. I also understand why you do not like the ritviks, we had to expose your sorry a** program and have it sued and etc.

Mahatma Das (Martin Hausner) Apologist for Molester Messiahs Project / ETC. 06 11 26

DUAL FLUTES.

[TWO PART HARMONY]

==========

PADA: OK folks, our Hare Krishna culture is supposedly based on fighting against evil doers from our Bhagavad Gita history, and many other Vedic histories of challenging evil doers. In fact Krishna is downright famous for challenging evil doers, and so are His top followers such as Arjuna, the acharyas etc. 

But nope! According to Mahatma -- the Gita is a story of Krishna's defect -- a lack of forgiveness -- and Krishna's anger management problem, which can only be fixed when Krishna and Arjuna enroll in Mahatma's anger management and forgiveness therapy classes, at the special "Krishna only" discount price of $250 per session. 

All this anger is the result of -- Krishna and the Pandavas -- "guarding their failures with victimhood." Yes, poor Krishna and Arjuna are failures, who are suffering from victimhood syndrome. Again, that is because they forgot to sign up for Mahatma's therapy classes! 

But wait, you mean all the devotees Mahatma's program banned, beat, molested, sued and killed are "failures"? They failed to get out of the way of the GBC's army tank? They failed to leave ISKCON sooner? But how could five years old children get away from their molester messiah's program, at age five? At all?

Who knew! The entire Bhagavad Gita is NOT at all about Krishna's preaching of "justifiable revenge." It is "preaching" that we should abandon the battlefield, hide under a rock, and forgive our opponents, even when they aggress the Vaishnava ladies, and other devotees, and try to poison, burn and kill Arjuna's Vaishnava family. Just walk away, and let the evil doers conduct all the more treachery more and more! That will fix things!

Mahatma thinks, as any bogus reader of the Gita like him would know, Krishna's asking Arjuna to avenge the Pandavas is low class tamasic guna anger. And this is a sign Krishna suffers from victimhood syndrome. Krishna is an angry victim, and He is thus not preaching forgiveness, because He is overcome by raja guna anger -- and vengence, all stemming from His victimhood cry baby attitude. 

Poor Krishna needs Mahatma's "go back to sleep and allow crimes to go on left and right" training classes! Wait, Mahatma Gandhi preached the same things, roll over and allow yourself to be a victim. Ahimsa! And Srila Prabhupada said, this is totally bogus. And no small amount of DANGEROUS.

Yes who knew, even Krishna is full of low class blame and anger. And Krishna's anger makes Him artificially feel powerful. The Pandavas forgiveness would be theirs and Krishna's sign of showing weakness, so they decided to fight based on low class angry vengence and victimhood instead. Forgiveness would be the only path out of the door of this vengence and pain, because the Pandavas and Krishna are feeling pain due to mundane rajas and tamas guna anger issues.  

Mahatma is more advanced than Krishna, while Krishna gets angry at offenders to His devotees, Mahatma never feels any anger at evil doers at all! 

Sorry! Not what happens in the teachings of Krishna! Committing atrocities to Vaishnavas makes Srila Prabhupada and Krishna VERY angry. And this should therefore also make their devotees VERY angry. If the devotee is supposed to dovetail his desires with Krishna's, then Krishna wants to see evil doers retaliated against. And strongly. 

All sorts of banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing is going on in Mahatma's empire, so it is time to forgive the perps and allow them -- to ban, beat, molest, sue and kill -- all the more victims. No one should protest! The beatings will continue until morale improves!

But hey Mahatma is just one out of many hundreds of similar people who are forgiving the evil doers. Many times I told devotees, their guru is taking drugs and having sex, and perhaps also allowing -- if not encouraging -- a child molesting program, and a variety of other assorted crimes, and they just looked like they had fallen asleep on their feet. Sex? Drugs? Guru? Child abuse? And all this is found in Krishna's successors? Not my problem prabhu! Forgive them and move on! 

And that is why Jane Wallace of CBS news said to me, Kirtanananda's sitting on a big seat, covered with the hands of a couple dozen boys is "pedophile heaven." So why are all these Bhagavad Gita warriors, chanting "Jaya Bhaktipada"? And why is no one taking him off that seat? 

She said, I am not even a student of Bhagavad Gita, but if some self evident pedophile was sitting on a big seat in my Church, I would personally go up on the platform and -- take him off that seat all by myself, even if I would be attacked for doing so.  

In any case, no, we are not supposed to sit idly by as Vaishnavas are banned, beaten, molested, sued and killed. And it is amazing we even have to point that out. Because allowing or acquisecing mistreatment for some victims, continues to allow it for other victims, as happened REPEATEDLY. And that is why Krishna wants us to stop these things immediate fashion, right out of the gate. The entire teaching of the Gita is, do your duty -- as MY devotee -- to stop harassment of other devotees and Vaishnavas, that is your obligation to God.

Someone said that Mahatma is like the apologists the medieval Popes had. When women were raped by clergy, and people were burned at the stake, tortured, killed and so on, the relatives were naturally upset. So the Popes had official apologists writers -- who would write letters to the victim's families to try to appease them. And Mahatma is an apologist for his bogus Popes, like Rambhouru and the other "therapy" folks. 

Problem for them is, more and more of the people who are victims are not buying that the victims are the problem, and not the perps and their apologists. By some miracle, the victims are not the actual victims, and the victims are suffering victimhood, when they know very well -- they are the victims. They already know, Mahatma's program is the problem -- and has been all along. 

All the banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and murders are a result of his process, and he cannot cover that up forever. MORE people are waking up more every day. Never mind Yamaraja was onto their bogus apologism tricks right from day one in 1978.

MORE CRIMINALS IN CHARGE OF CHILDREN?

Dear All,

It has come to my attention that the appointment of Eka Varna (also known as Vincenzo Barba / Enzo Barba) as organiser and leader of the UK youth bus tour operating under the ISKCON name.

My concern is not directed at personal matters, but at the suitability, safeguarding standards, and governance processes associated with a role that involves significant responsibility, including leadership over devotees, the interaction with overseeing and managing young participants including minors, the representation of ISKCON publicly, and management of organisational resources.

Safeguarding and suitability concerns.

I understand that participants are required to undergo background checks before joining the tour. Given this, I am seeking clarification on what equivalent due diligence, safeguarding assessments, risk evaluations, reference checks, and suitability processes were undertaken in relation to the appointment of the organiser.

A number of devotees have expressed concerns regarding conduct and suitability for leadership responsibilities. These concerns include reports of aggressive or inappropriate behaviour in prior service contexts, interpersonal conflicts within temple environments, and concerns about temperament and judgement in leadership settings.

*It is well known that Eka Varna the organiser of the UK Bus Tour is a convicted criminal with convictions of assaults and drug use.*

Given Eka Varna’s temperament, I sincerely do not think it is appropriate for him to supervise minors under the age of 18 along with his vast criminal background.
Above all, my greatest concern is the welfare, protection, and spiritual well-being of children, teenagers, and young devotees who may participate in this tour. 

Individuals placed in positions of authority and influence over young people are entrusted with a significant responsibility, and it is essential that safeguarding considerations remain paramount in any appointment.

There are devotees willing to provide their first account experiences with Eka Varna. Although most people know his true character within Bhaktivedanta Manor, ISKCON Soho, Inish Rath Island, Budapest Temple and Krsna Valley in Hungary where his own guru Sivarama Swami asked him to leave Krsna Valley because of his misdeeds. When is the GBC going to start paying attention to who they place in charge of children?

From BATH UK.

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

In Brihad-Bhagavatamrita, Sanatana Goswami beautifully narrates the journey of a soul to the kingdom of God. Gopa Kumara is that fortunate soul who decides to go back to the kingdom of God, Goloka Vrindavan. In this world we are on a never-ending journey. We have been wandering in this material world away from God for an uncountable number of years.

Sometimes we travel to the upper planetary systems to enjoy good karma. Sometimes we are compelled to go to the lower planetary systems to suffer bad karma. Sometimes we wander in a human body, sometimes in a non – human body. Sometimes we live on land, sometimes in water and sometimes in the sky. The dollops of happiness given to us during our travels hardly give any joy, in fact it brings more frustration. Just as the water of the ocean cannot quench our thirst the allurements of this world cannot satiate our hearts.

During our journey we come across other travelers too. We identify them as our father and mother, brother and sister, spouse and children, friends and foes. We start liking their company. We desire to live with them forever. But just as the waves of the ocean devoid of emotions demolishes the castle of sand, the unconquerable time unmoved by our tears crushes all our dreams and steals all our loved ones from us. This is the nature of this world. This is how this world has been functioning since the dawn of creation.

We are residents of the spiritual world

So, Krishna, the architect of this world, warns us that nowhere in this entire material creation one can enjoy forever, miseries are everywhere because death is everywhere. Bhagavad Gita 8.16. But away from this material world is the spiritual world which is not ephemeral but is eternal. In that world there is no death and is free from all sufferings. We originally belong to the eternal spiritual world. So, Krishna asks us to return back to the spiritual world. Srila Prabhupada in his writings have underlined the importance of returning to the spiritual world thousands of times. In fact, he started a monthly magazine and named it as “Back to Godhead (BTG).”

Just as a fish separated from water will always remain miserable similarly as long as we are separated from our eternal spiritual homes we will continue to suffer. Krishna gives opportunity to each and every one to come back to him. You and I can also live with Krishna in his beautiful kingdom.

Sanatana Goswami in his book, Brihad-Bhagavatamrita, tells the story of a fortunate soul, Gopa Kumara, who also got an opportunity to return back to the spiritual world. Just like us, Gopa Kumara was also in this material world where we are living now. But Gopa Kumara unlike us consciously decided to leave this material world and return back to the spiritual world. 

In his magnum opus, Brihad-bhagavatamrita, Sanatana Goswami explain in detail Gopa Kumar’s journey to Goloka Vrindavan. Goloka Vrindavan is the abode of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Each nugget of the book allows us to experience the emotions he went through during his travel. The book captivates our mind and tantalizes us to join Gopa Kumara in his journey.

Gopa Kumara decides to go back to the spiritual world

Gopa Kumara wanted to end all his sufferings. “Enough is enough. I no longer want to suffer the pains and pleasures of this ephemeral world,” he thought. So, as soon as he got the chance to go back to his original spiritual home, he immediately grabbed it. With enthusiasm, confidence and complete faith in the Supreme Lord, he decided to march towards his final destination. 

On his way to Goloka Vrindavan, he also went to the higher planets of this material world where lots of opportunity for sense gratification was present. But he wasn’t happy there. So, from there he went to the spiritual world. He went to different spiritual planets of the spiritual world. He went to Vaikuntha, to Ayodhya, to Dwarka. In that spiritual abode he met the spiritual residents who were as glorious as the Supreme Lord and all were in utter bliss. There he experienced unlimited joy, he achieved complete perfection.

But still he missed something. He missed Krishna. He missed brajvasis, the residents of Vrindavan. There was a tinge of dissatisfaction in his heart. His heart longed to be with Krishna. He desperately wanted to go to Goloka Vrindavan. How will Krishna not fulfill the desire of his dear devotee? A celestial plane which travelled faster than the speed of the mind travelling along a wonderful path took Gopa Kumara to that glorious land which is the topmost of all the spiritual planets.

Gopa Kumara arrives in Goloka Vrindavan

Sages and saints meditate for thousands of years to get a glimpse of that land. In that glorious land of Goloka Vrindavan Gopa Kumara’s heart attained supreme satisfaction. He wanted to see Krishna and so began searching Krishna. He saw the brajvasis, the most exalted devotees, and inquired from them about Krishna. But they were so absorbed in Krishna that they were not able to say a word. 

One elderly man who was overwhelmed with emotions in broken words showed him the palace of Gopa King, Nanda. At the palace he saw millions and millions of wonders which he had never seen or imagined. At the entrance of the palace, Gopa Kumara inquired from an elderly brajvasi about Krishna. With a heavy heart she said, “he who has stolen our hearts left with his friends and cows in the morning to the forest to enjoy his pastimes.”

Unable to bear separation from Krishna the brajvasis with great difficulty were spending their time in the day. To alleviate their pain some had absorbed themselves in remembering his many pastimes. Some composed songs which described his many activities and sang it throughout the day. Many got busy in preparing delicious preparations which they planned to serve him as soon as he returns. Engaged in different activities, everyone tried their best to hide their emotions, but their eyes belied them, tears constantly flowed from their eyes and in broken words they kept calling Krishna, Krishna. It was difficult for anyone to understand whether they were in bliss or were in pain. Whether they were with Krishna or not with Krishna.

They were desperately waiting for Krishna to return from the forest. And as soon as it was evening, all frantically ran towards the shore of Yamuna. Fixing their eyes towards the forest trying their best not to blink they were eagerly waiting for him. Gopa Kumara was also present there.

Suddenly the atmosphere got filled with the melodious sound of the flute. The Yamuna stopped flowing. The birds flying in the air stood still. The trees decorated with beautiful flowers spread their arms to embrace the sound. Some of the brajvasis overwhelmed with emotions fainted. Many desperately tried looking in the direction of the sound but their tears blurred their vision. Some stood stunned. Gopis carrying pots of delicacies ran hurriedly. Some fell on the ground. And in great pain of separation they cried again and again. Yashoda with her husband, Nanda Maharaj, Radharani with her many friends and along with all the moving and non- moving residents of braj anxiously waited to have a glimpse of Krishna.

And suddenly a bluish boy in yellow garments appeared. He was decorated with forest flowers and was wearing crown made of peacock feathers. The fortunate flute whom the bluish boy had embraced with his lips joyfully danced and informed all that Krishna has arrived. It was celebration time. Krishna was so happy to see all. After whole day work, he was back home. But suddenly Krishna’s joy multiplied manifold!

Krishna is so happy to see Gopa Kumara

Amongst the brajvasis who had assembled at the shore of Yamuna, he saw Gopa Kumara. He stopped playing his flute. Leaving his friends, leaving his cows, and leaving all confused he ran frantically towards him. He leaped towards Gopa Kumara and embraced him. Seeing his dear friend after such a long time, Krishna overwhelmed with emotion fainted in the arms of Gopa Kumara. After regaining consciousness, Krishna took the hand of Gopa Kumara in his lotus hand and inquired, “How are you? I missed you so much, Sarupa. Every day I waited for you hoping that you will return one day for sure. I am so thankful. I am so grateful. You are back. Now please stay here. Don’t go anywhere.” Gopa Kumara’s name in the spiritual world was Sarupa. Although Gopa Kumara had forgotten the name Sarupa but Krishna remembered. Sarupa got reunited with Krishna and with his spiritual family in the spiritual world to live eternally and blissfully.

In the spiritual world there is no anxiety, no fear. It is free from all kinds of suffering which afflict us in this world. Scriptures tell us that the same destiny awaits us too. Through his book, Brihad-bhagavatamrita, Sanatana Goswami is inviting us to the spiritual world, our original spiritual home. Are we ready?
