MUKUNDA MAHARAJA
PADA: The problem with Mukunda Maharaja is that, yes -- he was one of the original disciples. Therefore he knew better than any of the rest of us that Tamal, Harikesha, Bhagavan, Bhavananda, Hansadutta, Jayatirtha, Mott Street boy Kirtanananda etc., are not qualified to be worshiped as Krishna's and Srila Prabhupada's successors. He also knew that Srila Prabhupada had regularly complained about his leaders incompetence, if not sometime defiant, unruly, fallen behavior etc. and repeatedly.
Mukunda knew these leadership guys were constantly struggling with their own spiritual lives -- if not doubts about Krishna's and Prabhupada's words. Satsvarupa for examples says -- "I have to battle constantly with doubts that Krishna is a myth." Fine acharya material here!
In sum, these leaders were constantly falling into one problem after the next the whole time from the 1960s until 1977. How could some of them, 11 of them, or any of them, be fit to be worshiped as Krishna's successors and Srila Prabhupada's direct or de facto replacements as the parampara's acharyas? And then have their own Vyasasana seats, guru pranam mantras, photos on the altars, guru daksine financials and so on.
Sorry, Mukunda and others knew better than the rest of us -- these conditioned soul GBC leaders are a heap of falling down trouble makers -- and Srila Prabhupada was making constant complaints about their lack of leadership and even following the basic program. "The problem is that the GBC are not following."
After 1977, according to Mukunda's secretary Nandini, many complaints about abuses (including child abuse) were being sent into Mukunda's "ISKCON World Review" newsletter, and reportedly -- he just tossed the complaint letters into the trash telling Nandini "I have a career to protect." Satsvarupa was also famous for tossing out complaint letters and hiding out at Howard Johnson Motels so he would not have to deal with all "the troubles."
SDG said reading complaint letters gives him a headache, so he has to avoid reading them. OK the abuses were then pretty much unchecked, as there was no reliable checks and balance process to contain them. Satsvarupa and Mukunda were supposed to be some of the main watch dog people containing these problems. But then these foxes were the persons guarding the hen house?
Mukunda was also designated by the GBC to act as the liaison between the GBC and me and Sulochana, and he sided with the GBC's view that me and Sulochana are "making severe offenses to a great devotee" (Kirtanananda swami) who was having oral sex with boys in his motorhome. And so Mukunda's party excommunicated us and made us targets, and we were targets, and Sulochana was assassinated as a result. Meanwhile thousands of children were reportedly victims of abuse in Mukunda's program's "gurukulas."
After Sulochana's murder then Mukunda (and Ramesvara, Bhagavan and others) suddenly disappeared and waltzed off stage. Mukunda, Devamrita etc. ended up going to Australia, where they became big leaders over there, as no one knew about their role in covering up all the crimes here and supporting the homosexual and pedophile gurus like Kirtanananda. So Mukunda exploited the fresh batch of victims into thinking he is a great saint. Australia has had all sorts of reports of abuses and troubles all by itself however, so the same type problems just went on over there.
As for Indradyunma, he was Bhagavan's hatchet man when all the devotees were being kicked out. There was a big collection of his photos of little girls and women in bikinis on his web site, which disappeared after we complained. He is another person who has covered up for and supported the illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara.
In any case, it looks like Mukunda is suffering a lot from his brain surgery etc. so he is on his way out. He will be remembered as a co-founder father of his illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's program; which bans, beats, molests, sues and kills Vaishnavas. And he will be held responsible for co-creating that process in the court of Yamaraja. The good news is they will no longer have to battle constantly with doubts about a higher being, they will know for certain there is a higher power and they are now going to His prison.
Mukunda clearly tossed me and Sulochana under the bus knowing we could be taken out, and Sulochana was taken out -- and I almost was. Just for his role in helping destroy this one life, he will have to be punished severely by the Yamaduttas and he will be. No one is allowed to co-orchestrate the murder of a Vaishnava without facing severe reactions.
Never mind the entire reason Sulochana had to be taken out was to defend Mukunda's homosexual and pedophile guru system, which is tossing children under the bus wholesale. All of this will be taken into account for his future life. I don't wish him well or unwell personally, but we all know what happens to people who make a program that harms Vaishnavas, it does not end well.

HARIKESH DEVIATIONS UNFORGIVABLE
In the autumn of 1998, I joined the movement of Srila Prabhupada, and almost immediately I came to Moscow, to the temple on Begovaya Street, to meet the followers of this teaching. It turned out that at that moment, amazing events were taking place in Russia, and in particular on Begovaya Street.
A bit of background. Harikesa Swami (one of the zonal acharyas, or, according to another version, one of those who was supposed to become a ritvik — a representative of Srila Prabhupada) preached very powerfully in Russia until 1998; his disciples distributed Prabhupada’s books by the trainload. Thousands of people came to believe that Srila Prabhupada’s teaching was true and capable of leading anyone out of the cycle of birth and death — by remembering themselves as an immortal soul.
At some point in his life, Vishnupad stopped being fit for his position, and, as they say in Russian, “Ostap got carried away.” He started saying that Srila Prabhupada was wrong on many issues, that not all of Prabhupada’s statements were true, and that nowadays it was every man for himself. At the same time, he embezzled a huge sum of money, and, taking a certain lady by the arm, he left for Saint‑Tropez to stroll along the Côte d’Azur in white trousers. As the saying goes: “Time for work, time for play.”
After such statements and actions, many Vaishnavas (not only Harikesa’s disciples, but also many others) lost faith in Srila Prabhupada — some left for Gaudiya Math, or for other sampradayas, or for Shaivites. What is truly unpleasant is that he thereby tore away the faith in Krishna from so many newly made Krishna people, and they stopped practicing. After they lost faith in the Krishna religion, they had now a negative idea of Krishna.
There was a temple in almost every city in Russia, or Sunday programs were held — and all of this emptied out in an instant. And then a program of mass stealing / marauding / looting began; everyone grabbed whatever they could from the temples — money, buildings, cars. The movement descended into criminal anarchy.
When I arrived at Begovaya to meet Prabhupada’s followers, I was stunned by what I saw and heard. My conviction in the truth of Srila Prabhupada’s teachings allowed me to stay with those who wanted to continue practicing Krishna consciousness under Prabhupada’s guidance.
Some time later, it turned out that Harikesha had moved to Alachua (Florida), was interacting with Vaishnavas, was enjoying prasadam, and seemed to be doing japa. I’ll express my subjective opinion.
He should come to Russia first, visit every city, and ask forgiveness from all the devotees he betrayed, and even from those who joined after his antics. Find everyone who suffered as a result of his actions, knock on their door — and ask for forgiveness. Then leave for Alachua and never set foot in Russia again.
Because the ratio of people he led to the feet of Srila Prabhupada and those who left Prabhupada’s feet is clearly not in his favor.
JM: Another GBC leader who destroys people's lives and then walks off like there is no problem. And steals money from the people he destroyed ... as he walks out the door, double destroying and hurting his victims even worse. Bhagavan and others have done the same. They cheat people that they are gurus, then steal their own disciple's money when they leave, pouring vinegar into the cut.
They think ??? they are immune from karma, because they do not believe in Krishna's existing. They can act whimsical ... there are no consequence. They are more or less atheist. Or !!! worse than atheists, spiritual cheaters and misleaders and rogues posing as saints. NOTE: they always have the same smirky joke know it all smile.
We stole from you and ruined your life, so what? Big joke on you? They do not believe in Krishna or His laws. Under Prabhupada so many came to Krishna, under them so many left Krishna. And most of those who left ... no longer even like Krishna. They make people hate Krishna because they hate Krishna. They made thousands of people suffer. Their suffering is just around the corner. No one is allowed to make others suffer like this! Especially devotees of Krishna. That is not to be forgiven by us or Lord Yamaraja.

IRAN
PADA: It looks like our forever and ever wars over there are taking a toll on our USA military guys. That is pretty sad, because what if they are needed somewhere else. We told them a few days, then weeks, then months, and now it is looking like a few years, or maybe more. Iran said they are not opening up until 2029 unless we sign their deal.
That is a long time for us to just sit there blocking the movement of ships. I think that the Bush / Cheney regime was correct, the only way to fix Iran is with 1,000,000 boots on the ground and for several years.
Just whacking them here and there from the air is not working in Iran, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon etc. That has not worked because a ground clean up is always needed. I don't think MAGA has the support for a two year long ground clean up invasion, which is going to be messy, costly and deadly by all accounts. OK it looks like Iran has the upper hand presently. Just parking ships there forever isn't going to make any big change.

TEXAS REPORTER NEWS
US NAVY IN TROUBLE
SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG ABOARD THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are sounding the alarm about exhaustion, deteriorating morale and sailors reaching a breaking point. Multiple sailors have reportedly attempted to go overboard during the carrier’s extended deployment. One sailor’s wife says her husband is now on medical hold after trying to jump from the ship. Another family member says her husband stopped a fellow sailor from going overboard.
The Lincoln has now been deployed for more than eight months and has spent roughly 250 consecutive days at sea, including 40 days of continuous combat operations. The deployment was originally expected to end in May, but there is still no publicly announced return date.
There are roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard. Thousands of people with spouses, children, parents and other loved ones waiting for them at home. About 200 family members recently attended a meeting with Navy officials in San Diego. One spouse told officials that her husband had messaged her that very day saying he hoped he wouldn’t wake up the next morning.
Families have also raised concerns about food and supplies, broken toilets and laundry facilities, mildew and other living conditions aboard the carrier. The Navy has disputed some reports about conditions and says sailors have access to counselors, chaplains, doctors and other mental-health resources. Additional mental-health professionals are reportedly being sent to the ship.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt is being prepared to relieve the Lincoln, but officials have not publicly said exactly when that will happen. Whatever your politics, this shouldn’t be partisan. If sailors are so exhausted and distressed that people are trying to jump off an aircraft carrier, that is a flashing red warning light.
These men and women signed up to serve their country. That doesn’t mean their physical and mental well-being becomes expendable. Supporting the troops has to mean more than saying the words. Bring these sailors relief. Give their families answers. And take what they’re telling us seriously before another family gets the phone call they’re terrified of receiving.
