Srila Prabhupada: WORKER FOR HIRE? 

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

Holy Christian Politician Scandals

 

Depressed after husband discovered her affair.

PADA: Oh oh pilgrims, big political guy "sexting" a worker. She gets upset, allegedly "feels trapped," evidently dies by dousing herself with petrol and lighting herself on fire. Will the other "family values" politicians take action and get rid of the guy? Maybe, but it looks like a lot of foot dragging going on here. Did we expect any better?

OK some of the ISKCON victims of sex-ploiting also took their lives, sadly this issue is a lot more serious than many devotees estimate.

SRI KANTA'S NON-EXISTING OTHER GURU

To Sri Kanta (Ted Walford) Wow, all of the teachings are eternal -- and posthumous, post samadhi and post mortem -- at the same time? Where are you guys getting that from? Srila Prabhupada says Krishna and His acharyas are eternal, and he was very upset when TIME magazine wrote a title "Is God Dead"? There is no such thing as post mortem idea of Krishna and His acharyas in the Vaishnava idea. 

The guru is called sad guru, or eternal, not post mortem? Material beings are subject to being post mortem, but not pure spiritual beings. There is no misunderstanding. A conditioned soul is not a guru. If there is an alternate guru to Srila Prabhupada, that guru has to be named, but Sri Kanta never names the alternate guru he alludes to. 

Srila Prabhupada says a person who does not name the guru is a mayavada. Anyway, there is no such thing as posthumous, post samadhi and post mortem worship in Vaishnava siddhanta. Krishna is eternal and his acharyas are also eternal. If there is an alternate guru, and he is not named, he is a non-existing phantom and has no relevance to anything. He does not exist. 

As for Ezra john mcconnel -- he is citing the Sridhara Srinivasa ICC people who declared that worship of an adult male predator of a minor aged female can give us "The keys to Krishna Loka." That is not possible. 

BTW the female victim wrote to me to post her complaints because the GBC ignored her. The GBC even agreed -- this female is IN FACT a victim of this predator, but no worries, their wayward acharyas has "rectified." Sorry. An acharya does not need to be rectified, he is always with Krishna at all times. Us conditioned souls need to be rectified, and that is why -- we cannot give people to keys to Krishna loka, we have to direct others to the person who hold the keys, and act as his agents. A predator gives us the keys to predator loka, not Krishna loka, and it is amazing so many people do not know the difference. ys pd

PRABHUPADAVISION WEB SITE

KRSNACANDRA told me has has to cut off making more postings there because, "my life is in danger here in Vrndavana." He passed away some time ago.

KṚṢṆACANDRA DĀSA – ŚRĪ VṚNDĀVAN DHAM: IT IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED THAT THE GBC AND THEIR GURUS HAVE DEVIATED FROM THE INSTRUCTIONS OF HIS DIVINE GRACE AC BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI ŚRĪLA

Prabhupāda and established their own corporate organization in place of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON. Therefore the organization that we believe to be Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON is not in fact ISKCON but is an entirely different organization than the one that Śrīla Prabhupāda founded in the sixties and seventies.

Their [the GBC’s] real motive for doing this is not disclosed but their methodology and techniques are typical of any infiltrative movement which seeks to co-opt or destroy another organization and not that of naïve but sincere seekers of the truth who are loyal to His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda. We may naively and/or hopefully think that this could never happen to us, especially to us… to Śrīla Prabhupāda… but we simply have to face the stark fact that it has happened and it has happened to us…

Śrīla Prabhupāda established ISKCON as a Vaiṣṇava society under his direct authority as he specifically mandated when he incorporated our Society as a Religious Institution in the – “CERTIFICATION OF INCORPORATION OF
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS OF CALIFORNIA, INC”
Where in Point 3 he states clearly – “He shall be the supreme authority with respect to all matters of the society, and that status shall not be occupied by or shared with any other individual, either during his lifetime, or after death.”

This cannot be stated more clearly or enough. When the GBC in 1978 took control of the society and imposed their supreme [oligarchic] authority over Śrīla Prabhupāda’s singular authority, the ISKCON that Śrīla Prabhupāda established ceased to exist. Of course it exists in his disciple’s hearts as it does to this very day, however, ISKCON as an institution is no longer present on earth today.

The GBC gave birth to FISKCON. After three and a half decades of relentless subjugation of Śrīla Prabhupāda, his ISKCON institution, his loyalist followers and the truth; we must now see our history from the perspective that Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON was infiltrated and co-opted by an undisclosed group of individuals who systematically changed everything that Śrīla Prabhupāda had decreed or implemented and in its place established their own highly specific ideology, emphasis and direction. They now occupy Śrīla Prabhupāda’s status as Ācārya’s/GBC/Gurus of ISKCON.

Who can deny that the GBC and Gurus have betrayed Śrīla Prabhupāda? How can they deny that many of them admit that they are not the delivering guru, only the facilitating guru? Who can deny that they have ignored Śrīla Prabhupāda’s D.O.M. in their new management system with its expansive corporate infrastructure? Who can deny that they have developed laws that favor them and their plans instead of the truth and the greater devotional community? 

Who can deny that they have changed the incorporation to West Bengal forming a private corporation to do away with Śrīla Prabhupāda’s original? Who can deny that they formed the BBTi to do away with Śrīla Prabhupāda’s BBT? Who can deny their religious syncretic secularization of Vaiṣṇava theology via merging it into modern secular humanistic academia? 

Who can deny their attempts to homogenize and impersonalize our Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition with other religious traditions through the process of interfaith and new age preaching techniques? Who can deny that the leaders are behind most of the philosophical deviations and separatist movements within our international society? Who can deny that they are changing Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books for purely wicked reasons?

Who can deny that they changed the philosophy to meet their needs by using the interpretive method of reasoning as opposed to the ‘as it is’ method given to us by Śrīla Prabhupāda? Who can deny that our gurus and GBC are involved in mass misappropriation of funds and donations and/or business deals to increase their personal coffers to aid their personal plans and projects? 

Who can deny that the Institution is penniless while the sannyāsī gurus have all the wealth of our society, while claiming to be renounced? Who can deny that they changed our orientation to being urban as opposed to the rural system that Śrīla Prabhupāda had relentlessly directed us to achieve?

Who can deny that so many members of the FISKCON society have used the power that that they derive from their positions within the institution to take advantage of their god brothers and sisters and ill-gotten disciples over the decades to facilitate their own lusty [sexual] desires and have openly degraded the Guru and Sannyāsī tradition to the point that is a mere mockery of its role and function in human society.

We have to accept the fact that ISKCON has been infiltrated by individuals or a group from an undisclosed agency for to believe otherwise would be foolish and irresponsible. To believe that Kali would not send his chelas to systematically infiltrate, corrupt and co-opt ISKCON would be naïve at best. We have to accept the fact that FISKCON is the brainchild of kali-yuga Kali and the leaders are either knowingly or unknowingly his chelas or agents.

With the departure of Śrīla Prabhupāda, the signs and symptoms of the kali-yuga entered into ISKCON and thus as is described below with the GBC openly refusing to allow Śrīla Prabhupāda’s purity to infuse their hearts and intellects – lust, greed, ambition and false purpose remained to fester in their hearts and overshadowed their desire, if any, to serve the pure devotee, His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.

SB: 1.13.3 – TRANSLATION

He saw that the direction of eternal time had changed, and this was very fearful. There were disruptions in the seasonal regularities. The people in general had become very greedy, angry and deceitful. And he saw that they were adopting foul means of livelihood.

PURPORT

When civilization is disconnected from the loving relation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, symptoms like changes of seasonal regulations, foul means of livelihood, greed, anger and fraudulence become rampant. The change of seasonal regulations refers to one season’s atmosphere becoming manifest in another season–for example the rainy season’s being transferred to autumn, or the fructification of fruits and flowers from one season in another season. 

A godless man is invariably greedy, angry and fraudulent. Such a man can earn his livelihood by any means, black or white. But Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was astonished to experience even a slight change in the godly atmosphere of his kingdom, and at once he suspected the disappearance of the Lord. Foul means of livelihood implies deviation from one’s occupational duty. 

There are prescribed duties for everyone, such as the brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya and śūdra, but anyone who deviates from his prescribed duty and declares another’s duty to be his own is following a foul and improper duty. A man becomes too greedy for wealth and power when he has no higher objective in life and when he thinks that this earthly life of a few years is all in all. Ignorance is the cause for all these anomalies in human society, and to remove this ignorance, especially in this age of degradation, the powerful sun is there to distribute light in the shape of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

SB 1.14.4 – TRANSLATION

All ordinary transactions and dealings became polluted with cheating, even between friends. And in familial affairs, there was always misunderstanding between fathers, mothers and sons, between well-wishers, and between brothers. Even between husband and wife there was always strain and quarrel.

PURPORT

A conditioned living being is endowed with four principles of malpractice, namely errors, insanity, inability and cheating. These are signs of imperfection, and out of the four the propensity to cheat others is most prominent. And this cheating practice is there in the conditioned souls because the conditioned souls are primarily in the material world imbued with an unnatural desire to lord it over the material world. 

A living being in his pure state is not conditioned by the laws because in his pure state he is conscious that a living being is eternally subservient to the Supreme Being, and thus it is always good for him to remain subservient, instead of falsely trying to lord it over the property of the Supreme Lord. In the conditioned state the living being is not satisfied even if he actually becomes the lord of all that he surveys, which he never becomes, and therefore he becomes the victim of all kinds of cheating, even with his nearest and most intimate relations. 

In such an unsatisfactory state of affairs, there is no harmony, even between father and sons or between husband and wife. But all these contending difficulties can be mitigated by one process, and that is the devotional service of the Lord. The world of hypocrisy can be checked only by counteraction through devotional service to the Lord and nothing else. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, having observed the disparities, conjectured the disappearance of the Lord from the earth.

What do we have left of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON? What is there in this FISKCON society that is what Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted? As soon as Śrīla Prabhupāda entered into Samadhi, the GBC severed the connection between themselves and the paramparā, thus making ISKCON a fraudulent society.

“Kirtanananda may be eager to address in the Harvard university but recently he has lost his link on account of disobedience. You sing every day morning that by the mercy of the Spiritual master one can please the Lord and one who has not pleased the spiritual master cannot have any access in the realm of Krishna Consciousness. 

"Very recently Kirtanananda has developed a different consciousness of Maya which is called misuse of one’s minute independence offered by Krishna. By misuse of one’s independence one at once becomes a victim of Maya and thus he loses all importance in Krishna Consciousness. So it is my definite opinion that his lecture anywhere now will bear no spiritual sequence. He must rectify his mistake before he can play in our Society any important role. By lips he says that he is a surrendered soul but by action he is thinking differently.”[Friday, October 6, 1967 

– Letter to Satsvarupa]

They were no longer authorized by the guru, sādhu and śāstra of our Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava paramparā and so everything they did after that date was for their own personal benefit, having abandoned Śrīla Prabhupāda. By illegally appointing themselves as initiating spiritual masters or dīkṣā gurus they severed the link of their followers and ill gotten disciples from the paramparā and Śrīla Prabhupāda and so both they and their disciples are fast tracking it to hell.

72-12-14.Letter: Tusta Krsna

As for your next question, can only a few pure devotees deliver others, anyone, if he is a pure devotee he can deliver others, he can become spiritual master. But unless he on that platform he should not attempt it. Then both of them will to go to hell, like blind men leading the blind.

By intentionally creating the position of a dīkṣā guru in place of Śrīla Prabhupāda and intentionally appointing unqualified people into the position of guru they have completed the link to Kali and diverted the destination of the seeker of the absolute truth to engage them in the service of Kali instead of engaging them in devotional service to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

We have to remember that only one who has seen the truth, that is liberated from material conditioning, that is on the brahmā bhuta platform, can engage in devotional service or bhakti yoga. It is not possible to engage others in devotional service when you yourself are not engaged in devotional service. You can point the way as a bona fide śikṣā guru when you are following Śrīla Prabhupāda instructions, teachings and by your personal example but you cannot engage another in pure devotional service unless you are likewise engaged.

Once the link is severed from the paramapara, whatever you do cannot bear any spiritual sequence as Śrīla Prabhupāda explained above. Even though one may be chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa or engaging others in Hari Nama Sankirtan, if one is committing the above offence to His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda then all ones activities are useless and in actual fact they are offensive to the pure devotee of the Lord.

One cannot commit sinful activities on the strength of the Holy Name and expect to get away with it. There is a price to pay and that price, as Śrīla Prabhupāda describes above, is HELL. If you are pretending to be a guru then you and your disciples will go to hell. What is so difficult to understand about that?

We must not be sentimental about this and convince ourselves that ‘they’, the GBC and Gurus mean well or that because they dress and act like an ISKCON devotee and have been doing so for decades that they are okay, that they are good and we should not disturb them. What is ‘good’? What does it mean to be a good devotee? It means to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda and not these demoniac people whose only interest is to make a mockery of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s ISKCON society.

If one is an offender of the Holy Name and Śrīla Prabhupāda, how can we ignore this fact? To become Kṛṣṇa conscious we must rid ourselves of ignorance by allowing our hearts, minds and intellects to be governed by Śrīla Prabhupāda and the paramparā, not these Kali-chelas and their policies and programs.
Here in Śrī Vṛndāvan Dham, the Kali-chelas of FISKCON have done as much as humanly possible to turn our glorious Vaiṣṇava Society and hope for mankind into an amoral, greedy, violent sect. 

It is impossible to remember what our glorious society was like when under the auspices of Śrīla Prabhupāda. They pretend to be sincere souls but they are relentlessly engaging in mundane activities of business and sexual impropriety with the sanction of the GBC and have been ‘seemingly’ getting away with it for years.

Sure we can overlook the problems and the fact that our leaders are spiritually bankrupt as is the coffers of our international society but at some time we will have to face Śrīla Prabhupāda or the Yamaduttas and what shall we say to them? That we stood by and let these greedy, selfish and self interested reprobates win?
Why do we let them destroy Śrīla Prabhupāda’s good name and his hard endeavor to give us a society in which we can become conscious of Kṛṣṇa? 

Why do we choose to believe their claims of innocence and statements of denial just because they say so? Why do we defer to their assumed authority simply due to their mundanely contrived positional power at the expense of the blatantly obvious? Why are we so eager to accept lies and deceit at the expense of the truth and ethical behavior? 

Why do we place mundane acquaintance on a higher platform than honest devotional friendships based on shared spiritual experience and look for reasons to forgive them and at the same time cover for their sinful ways and in the end vilify their antagonists?

Sure the FISKCONites are a powerful few. A few that will stoop to violence, murder, bribery, corruption, sexual assault and so on to get what they want. What about what we want? What about why we came to Kṛṣṇa consciousness?
If we allow these people to ruin our society more than they have already, what do we expect to happen? Do we really believe that Kṛṣṇa will send someone or arrange things so that we are saved? That it is His plan and so we have to sit on our hands and turn a blind eye and Kṛṣṇa will do all the work for us?

Do we think that the various Governments and secular authorities will stand by and watch our movement corrupt, cheat and lie their way through life while extracting money from their people by these frauds in guise of Sannayasi Gurus?
What will their disciples do if and when we are systematically investigated by the various bodies with the statutory duty to make sure that the people of their respective societies are not being duped and their money taken under false pretense?

The GBC would have us believe that their new laws will protect them from their members going to the police or to the various Taxation departments but in actual fact they know better. They know that very soon the ISKCON society will be held accountable for their sins, misdeeds and crimes. They knowingly allow our society and its members to enter into the jaws of māyā while they grab whatever they can in the meantime.

Do you seriously think that they don’t know this? That after all this time they are innocent?

My dear friends, they know full well what they are doing for they actively seek to protect each other and their plans at all cost as they are Kali chelas of the first order – make no mistake. We fool ourselves in thinking that all is well and good, that they are trying their level best to control such a large movement and so we should honor and respect them.

However, they and their followers will be known in history as the vilest of people who tried their level best to destroy our glorious Kṛṣṇa consciousness society. The question is where will you stand? How will you be judged? Kṛṣṇa in the form of eternal time, kala, is marching forward into your future and voraciously consuming each and every second of your life and with each and every second passed, you will be judged for knowingly allowing these reprobates to subjugate this glorious Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and commit heinous offences against the Lord’s General, His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Please look into your past and see how much you have tried to stop this great injustice and then look into your future and see what you can do to work to stop the advance of these kali-chelas and their plans and then pray that Śrīla Prabhupāda will give you the strength and intelligence to act appropriately and make a stand against these reprobates who threaten to destroy what good there is in this world in the form of Lord Caitanya’s Sankirtan Movement.

To affect real and lasting change we have to fight these people now, not wait for some post dated cheque of help from future generations or when Kṛṣṇa comes as Kalki… We can’t simply say “oh we tried many times but now we have chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy while this goes on all around us.” We have to fight. We have to fight now. Combined we can win this battle. 

We will always have to fight as dust is always coming into our homes and onto our altars making us clean and clean, time and time again. So too we have to clean our hearts, our minds, our intellects our families, our communities and our glorious Vaiṣṇava society.

This is the Kali yuga. This is Kali’s time and so long as we fail to fight, he will always win. Sure we have a huge task ahead of us, sure it won’t be easy but it has to be done and it is we, those who have been a part of the problem, who now must become the solution.

Cooperate with? / HK Project UK / Falling gurus / Where is the Love? 02 22 26






PADA: GBC leader Goverdhan says -- all groups need to cooperate now for the future of Lord Chaitanya's movement. We are all brothers. Fine. Except then they ban all the Prabhupada promoting devotees from ISKCON. We need to "cooperate" with banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing -- ourselves? 

Are these people spraying too much fentanyl on their hash pipes again? 😂 ys pd

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

FALLING GURUS

PADA: The idea that Krishna's gurus and successors commonly fall down was established early on. In 1980 Satsvarupa, Jaggadish and Jayadvaita (in consultation with BR Sridhara Maharaja) wrote "The Mahajanas Have Difficulties," where they said it is common for the GBC gurus to fall down -- because WHY? -- the Mahajanas are often CONTAMINATED BY MAYA, just like us GBC gurus.


In 1988 Gaura Govinda Maharaja wrote another paper (there were many) for the GBC "how to understand that your guru might be an asura." But GGM gives no explanation why he is promoting asuras as his gurus in the first place? GGM even says -- after you get one of his asura gurus, you have to "cry to Krishna" to get a real guru. A person can sell bogus toxic medicine, which harms the patients, and then the patients have to pray to God to get fixed from the bad medicine? But who authorized GGM to sell bad medicine? And why does Krishna have to fix our selling bad medicine?


Jayadvaita says taking a GBC guru is like buying a used car, it might drive, it might start on fire. He also said the 5 years old children of ISKCON got a bad guru because "they did not study the shastra." I thought JAS was supposed to read the shastra and make sure the 5 years olds got a good guru? When did Srila Prabhupada says the 5 years olds are in charge of ISKCON's guru tattva?


I was invited to the 1990 Ritvik Debate. But I refused to go. Why? Because Jayadvaita said -- Puranjana will not be able to discuss the behavior, actions and qualifications of our GBC gurus. We cannot discuss the behavior of bona fide acharyas, and non-bona fide acharyas? Then how will we ever know who is an acharya? So I was going to submit a paper on the ACTUAL qualifications of an acharya (namely Srila Prabhupada), and was told I would be FORBIDDEN for even bringing up the topic. How can we know who is an acharya if we cannot mention what are his qualifications?


So yeah, the whole thing was tilted against us all along, and an honest debate was never conducted. Nor have they ever debated me in public even 1978, they wanted to meet in private. Nor will they ever debate me in public most likely. If "gurus are often in maya and are often asuras" is the allowed position, and we are not allowed to say "gurus must be pure servants of Krishna," there is nothing really to debate. They are admitting they are wrong de facto by not debating, or tilting and cheating the terms of debate. Their insults to the Mahajanas was the beginning of the end for them, Srila Prabhupada says -- when great souls are insulted "you are finished." ys pd

NUN SEES KRISHNA LOKA 

This is incredible! It appears that the great 16th century Catholic mystic, Saint Teresa of Avila, had a vision of Sri Krishna in the eternal Vrindavan!
Saint Teresa in Seville recorded in her "Accounts of Conscience" chapter 38, August 9, 1575:

“Suddenly a recollection came to me with such a great interior light that I seemed to be in another world, and my spirit found itself within itself, in a very delightful forest and orchard, so much so that it made me remember what is said in the Song of Songs: Veniat dilectus meus in hortum suum – come He, my beloved, to His garden and eat its delicate fruits.

“I saw there, in this Eliseo (delicious place where great souls go), a blackish youth with a strange beauty; On top of his head he had something like a garland, not a crown, of great stones, and many maidens who walked there with him, with bouquets in their hands, all singing praises to God.

I did nothing but open my eyes so as not to be distracted and it was not possible for me to take my attention off it."

“There was a music of angels and singing of birds, which the soul enjoyed, although I did not hear it with my physical ears, but the soul was in that delight.
I looked as there was no other man there."

“This lasted for more than an hour and a half – that I could not take my eyes off or my attention, and with great delight, something different from other visions; and what I got from there was more love for God and keeping him more deeply present with that beauty, it is not possible that it was imagination."

(Accounts of Conscience August 9, 1575)

WHERE IS THE LOVE?


NOTICE THE LOVE HERE

PADA: Yeah, people ask me that all the time. Why do so many Hare Krishnas hate the other Hare Krishnas? The Berkeley Police told me -- the Hare Krishnas will not kill a cow, but they will kill you and eat you for dinner -- in a heartbeat. The Hare Krishnas hate your guts. Los Angeles police, same thing, these people killed your friend and will KILL you over here at Watseka temple. 

Ummm yep, cannot argue that, they DO want to kill me. And they would if they thought they could get away with it. Trivrikrama swami greets me at Rathayatra, "Holy F*cking hell, you are still walking on the planet and are not six feet under already"? 

So yeah, lots of hatred going on here, cannot be denied. But why? Because the atmosphere has become polluted with hateful speech, mostly from the GBC guru guys, "go harass a ritvik (anyone who worships Srila Prabhupada and not them) today and we will reward you with a sweet ball." 

They are spreading hate, and it manifests in odious ways. And the people they hate the most are the people who promote worship of Srila Prabhupada the most, ironic huh?

Meanwhile check out these "karmi" skating girls. They support each other, hug each other, have feelings for each other, and in sum -- they love and protect each other. We don't. Duh!  What kind of society do we have? 

I forgot, it is a society where we have crash courses in -- Trauma Informed Leadership, Trauma Therapy, Survivor's Forums, and "Classes to help free devotees of chemical dependency, addictive behaviors, and other ill effects from traumatic experiences." 

OK, we have a society that is not full of love, support and helpfulness, rather we have one where people are suffering trauma, if not suffering being starved, beaten and molested as children. And then -- not much support for the victims, but plenty of support for the leaders who orchestrated all the trauma -- who then get lifetime millionaire lifestyles paid for by ISKCON. 

Which further re-traumatizes the victims, the leaders of the abuse process are being worshiped as saints. So we have a long way to go to get to the skating girls level of care and concern for one another.    






Classic example of what I mean here. If we go to any normal mundane man, or female ice skaters on main street USA etc. and tell them there is a situation where children are being starved, beaten, molested, sometimes raped -- and then after being severely traumatized -- some of the victims commit suicide, the normal mundane person will react by wanting to figure out a way to help those children. 

What happens when PADA tells a lot of "devotees" the same thing?

Well as it turns out, the children's situation is not even any sort of problem on their radar. Why always negative news? Nothing to see here! What is the problem then? The problem is that PADA's editor is driving a Taxi around San Francisco, where people are going to Mc Donalds and Pizza houses, and moreover there are prostitutes and drug dealing folks riding around in my car. Forsooth! Ooops! Same job Jayananda had here!

So the problem is that PADA editor is having a job, so he can fund his program, and his program is helping children, so it is evil. Ummm what? The problem is not traumatized children, it is PADA trying to help save those children. Or worse, the real problem is -- pizza? 

See what I mean? Then GBC folks, and their hand maidens like Sanat, Mukunda, Prahlad, HKC Jaipur, Matura Pati etc. all complain that the real problem is -- PADA -- helping the children. And worse, getting money from the pizza people to fund his work. Even worse, he is getting help from the mundane pizza society's law enforcement, courts and media to help him because -- none of us will. And many of us will try to thwart what he does. OK so the pizza society knows mistreating children has to be contained, they don't! 

Is there any wonder those children are traumatized, when the whistle blowers exposing their abuse are the entire problem, or even pizzas are the problem, but not the abuse or the abusers? Meanwhile, over time actually a lot of people even agreed with a lot of my points over the years, but they were afraid of making waves. So that created a vacuum where evil doers could function unchallenged. 

But learning how to love cannot be made by legislated GBC laws and therapy groups. If legislation produced love, Krishna would legislate we all have to love Him. That is not possible. We have to motivate ourselves to have the right desires, it has to be internally done. Just like these skater girls, no one has to tell them to love the other skater girls, they do so spontaneously because that is in their hearts. 

So the real problem in ISKCON is not so much the bogus gurus, although they added to it, it is that a lot of devotees have no feelings for other devotees, or even the children of ISKCON. And when we came out with the poison issue there was a lot of push back, because there was no love. 

Oddly, some skater girls on Venice beach took my poison pamphlet and asked me, what happened? I said, this man was complaining of poison. They all looked sad and felt emotional. That is because their heart chakra is up and running, while the devotees there gave me vulture glares, and even some of them pounced on me, because they hated that we were exposing their whole false guru scam, and probably, the assassination of the actual guru. So, until we get some of the heart chakra problem fixed, nothing else will be. 

So the sad looks on the skater giris on Venice Beach vs the vulture looks of the devotees says it all, there is a lack of concern for others, not just against me -- although I could gripe about it forever -- but a lack of love for Srila Prabhupada -- and thereby, lack of love for ISKCON, his devotees, his women and children, his temples and deities, his books and so on. 

As one karmi lady friend told me, there is clear lack of sympathy for Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON because any elderly man who complains he is being poisoned by his staff members would get a lot of aggressive concern from the family of that man, but ISKCON seems to have -- not much feelings -- even for the same complaints from their own guru. 

They have a lack of love and concern for their own so-called master, no wonder they allowed so many children and others to become victims, they just did not care enough, because care comes from love, and they lack the love to care. The good news is, at least they have a lot of care for -- taxi driving and pizzas, priority A1.

New Video / Tariffs / Kasyapa Writes 02 21 26


Please comment on this video when it is up and running.


PADA: Yeah the ordinary Joe citizen is paying the tariffs, which is really a tax, estimated at $1,000 - $4,500 for the average family depending on the type of household. This is also called inflation, which MAGA said they would bring down, but instead they are making household costs go up.

Meanwhile the billionaires get big tax breaks. Meanwhile farmers, wineries, bourbon makers, airplane manufacturers, and many other USA producers -- all lose their markets because other countries are quitting, boycotting and cancelling their USA contracts to buy from USA. And many of these USA producers go bankrupt, or cannot add more workers and expand etc. 

And places like Las Vegas and other tourist places dry up because foreign tourists are also boycotting -- after the USA insulted their country as "criminals who are ripping off the USA." Then MAGA is going to bail out the USA farmers who went bankrupt due to losing their sales -- thanks to the MAGA tariff wars -- with money collected from tariffs, but the Supreme Court says these tariffs are not legal and are -- a tax. 

Where is the bail out money coming from now? And the $12B bail out will not cover the $100B farm losses. "A drop in the bucket" said one farmer. This is also producing a giantic legal imbroglio nightmare, and ocean of hundreds of thousands of courts cases, where people will sue the government to get their tariffs refunded. All these hundreds of thousands of cases were made by the "smaller government" folks! The average Joe will never get his tariff losses back.

America meanwhile loses hundreds of billions in lost tourism, lost sales, cancelled contracts, and many companies and farmers go bankrupt, which increases unemployment. Meanwhile farmers and construction companies cannot find workers because they were all deported, and they also go bankrupted. Also losing billions of dollars.  

Meanwhile China is making record amounts of trade and has a $1.2 trillion trade surplus profit, because people are stopping buying USA products, and they are switching over to buying from places like China. But all this is required so a few rich folks can get more billions. So? Do I think all this is America First? No, I think it is billionaires first.      


Meanwhile business executives are complaining that MAGA's day to day changes in tariffs, from 10%, to 25%, 50%, 100%, 125%, threats of 500% -- are creating chaos for their ordering supplies and stabilizing their business planning. They cannot project their business expenses with all this chaos going on. No one would buy a car if they did not know if the interest was going to be 4%, 10%, 25%, 125% and so on, it stops business from being transacted.

So the result is, businesses overall are cutting back, slowing down -- not adding new jobs -- and not expanding their business, because they cannot properly plan for future expenses. They thought the Supreme Court would solve this, but MAGA simply announced a series of work arounds -- so they can keep collecting money by taxing the average Joe citizen, and continue to create chaos for the business world. 

But hey, my MAGA devotee friends said they wanted someone who would shake things up, and that is what they have, a guy who is adding $4 trillion more to the deficit and he is causing higher prices for the citizens. And he is making investors move their manufacturing to China and other places where they can actually plan out their business model on a stable basis, without day to day changes in the whole process. 

OK MAGA was a mistake, and I think even some of their die hard followers are starting to figure that out. Meanwhile it looks like they are back pedaling on the Epstein files, more unkept MAGA promises. Same thing, even some of the die hards are complaining. It looks to me like MAGA is in trouble. 

ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com   

JD: Holy unstable-ness, 10% went to 15% in one day. No wonder! People are making factories in China. Needs a stable plant base. People are going to just quit trying ... and wait for the next president. Right ... average person is paying the 10% or 15%, not China. Voted to pay more, and got what they voted for! More countries will boycott USA ...

The Epstein Files: So Much Fuss For What? -- (Kasya dasa)

The recent unsealing of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein has produced the usual ritual of public shock. Headlines gasp. Commentators clutch pearls. Institutions promise “full transparency,” which in modern language means releasing just enough truth to confirm what everyone already suspected — and just a little enough to protect the machinery that allowed it.

Everyone is surprised. Again. But surprise, in this case, is not innocence. It is a theater. 
Because Epstein was not an anomaly. He was a symptom — a well-tailored symptom of a civilization that worships wealth, rewards manipulation, and treats restraint as a psychological disorder.

From a Krishna-conscious perspective, the Epstein story is not primarily about one man’s pathology. It is about lust when it evolves from private weakness into institutional privilege. Not the sinful inconvenience. Not the regrettable misstep. The all-devouring enemy. And lust has a predictable career path. First, it whispers. Then, it negotiates. Then, it demands. Finally, it governs. Epstein did not invent this force. He industrialized it, monetized it.

Money was not Epstein’s true power. Money is just paper with better public relations. His real currency was access — proximity to prestige, influence, and vanity. He offered powerful people the one thing more intoxicating than wealth: the illusion that consequences were optional. This is how illusion — māyā — actually works. It does not appear as a monster. It appears as a private jet. It does not threaten. It reassures. It whispers: “You are different. The rules are for others.” And people believe it — not because they are stupid, but because they are attached.

Epstein did not look like a villain. He looked like a donor. This is important. Because material society rarely trusts saints, but instinctively trusts wealth. A man in simple clothes is questioned. A man in a suit is obeyed. Krishna consciousness reverses this illusion. It teaches that external polish has no correlation with internal clarity. A person may be materially sophisticated and spiritually bankrupt. Another may appear materially insignificant and yet be internally free. Epstein’s empire depended entirely on confusing these two categories. And society cooperated enthusiastically.

Many ask: how could so many intelligent people remain silent? Because silence is often more profitable than truth. Lust creates attachment. Attachment creates dependence. Dependence creates silence. This is not merely moral weakness. It is metaphysical gravity. Once one’s identity becomes tied to prestige, wealth, or influence, truth becomes dangerous because truth threatens the false self that was constructed to enjoy those privileges. Krishna consciousness calls this false identity the ahaṅkāra — the ego, the great impostor. Epstein did not create ego. 

He simply learned how to feed it.

Files will be released. Names will circulate. Outrage will trend. And then? The same civilization that created Epstein will continue producing his successors. Because the root problem is not legal. It is existential. A culture that teaches people they are merely sophisticated animals should not be surprised when they behave like unrestrained animals.

Krishna consciousness offers a radical alternative: you are not the body. You are not your urges. You are not your appetites. You are ātmā — conscious, eternal, and capable of mastery over the impulses that enslave the untrained mind. Without this understanding, intelligence simply becomes a more efficient servant of desire. People have unrestricted sex life with anything — mothers, daughters, children, animals. Nothing is shocking about Epstein's. It will get only worse until people understand the need to stop this so-called freedom of sex with anything and in any way. Sex need is a byproduct, not the goal.

Epstein’s death did not kill the disease. It merely buried one of its most visible symptoms.

Lust still governs markets. Prestige still overrides conscience. Illusion still sells itself as sophistication. And society still confuses power with purity. Krishna consciousness does not express surprise at this. It expresses a diagnosis. The real prison was never Epstein’s cell.

It is the human mind when it forgets its spiritual nature. And unlike sealed documents, that prison can only be opened from within.

"Even you insult Krishna, He will tolerate. But if you insult His devotee, He will never tolerate. Then you are finished. Then you are finished. Just like a big man. If you insult him, he may think, “All right, let him.” But if you insult or do something harm to his child, he will never tolerate. He will never tolerate. Similarly, a devotee who is dependent on Krishna in everything, and if somebody does harm to him, insults him, Krishna will never tolerate. That is explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta, vaisnava-aparadha. Tara madhye vaisnava-aparadha hati matta. So we should be very careful not to offend Vaisnava devotees. Not to offend. This is greatest offense".

--- The Vaishnavi Diksha Guru: First Understand What Diksha Actually Is ---

Much of the debate about female diksha gurus suffers from a fundamental defect: 

people argue about who can give diksha without first understanding what diksha actually is. Without this foundation, the entire discussion floats in vagueness, sentiment, and institutional politics — instead of siddhānta. Before asking who can give diksha, one must ask what diksha is, what actually happens, and who the real initiator is. Until this is understood, the rest is noise.

The classical definition of diksha is given in the Hari-bhakti-vilāsa:
divyaṁ jnānaṁ yato dadyātkuryāt pāpasya saṅkṣayamtasmād
dīkṣeti sā proktādeśikais tattva-kovidaiḥ

"Diksha is the process by which divine knowledge is transmitted and sins are destroyed."

Two things happen:

Transmission of divya-jnāna (transcendental knowledge)

Destruction of sinful reactions

Not symbolically. Not sentimentally. Actually. Diksha is not the giving of beads. Diksha is not the whispering of syllables. Diksha is the awakening of spiritual reality in the consciousness of the disciple. The external ceremony formalizes it. It does not create it. The person who embodies these two principles is a guru.
Krishna confirms in Bhagavad-gita (10.11): "I destroy the darkness of ignorance with the lamp of knowledge." The guru does not manufacture realization. The guru transmits Krishna’s mercy. Krishna is the ultimate initiator (caitya-guru), acting through the external guru. The external guru is the transparent via medium. This is why guru is honored as good as Krishna — not because of bodily identity, but because of functioning conviction.

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura strongly emphasized that diksha is not a mere ritual. He warned against reducing diksha to a social ceremony. He explained that diksha means awakening sambandha-jnāna — the disciple’s real relationship with Krishna. Without the transmission of realization, the ceremony alone is insufficient. He established initiation not as cultural, social or institutional inheritance, but as spiritual transformation. Remember, we are still talking not about formality.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explained diksha in precise, practical terms. Initiation means beginning the process of spiritual purification under authorized guidance. He explained that the mantra received in disciplic succession carries spiritual potency. The mantra is not material sound. It is spiritual sound descending through parampara. The guru connects the disciple to this current. Without this connection, a mantra remains external sound. 

With it, a mantra becomes a spiritual force. That is for the initiation of any other mantra but Krishna's names. Anyone can chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra or numerous bhajans, deriving full spiritual benefits without undergoing the formal ceremony. Formality of harinam initiation falls within pancarātrika viddhi. 

Serves as confirmation of official acceptance into paramparā and the disciple's expression of a serious dedication to the process of sravanam-kirtanam. The formality is a natural consequence for the neophytes on the path of bhakti, but not an absolute necessity. There are several instances when Srila Prabhupada and Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati performed harinam diksha in rather unusual and informal ways, or not at all.

The guru is like a wire. Electricity does not originate in the wire. It flows through it. If the wire is properly connected, electricity flows. If disconnected, nothing flows. The guru connects the disciple to Krishna through parampara. This connection is diksha. This is why qualification matters, not bodily designation, and the formality of the ceremony. Unfortunately, there are many cases of formality being done, but hardly, if at all, any transmission of sambandha or removal of sinful tendencies on the disciple's part. That means a connection was lost. It is no magic. It is a tangible process.

The Shastra defines guru qualifications clearly in several places. One must be fixed in Krishna consciousness, self controlled, free from material motive, faithful to parampara, and established in realization. The qualification is realization and fidelity — not anatomy. The soul has no material gender. Krishna does not empower based on bodily form. He empowers based on surrender.

The guru does not own the disciple. Both guru and disciple are servants of Krishna. The guru’s function is to guide the disciple back to Krishna. Not to create dependence on himself as controller. But to connect the disciple to Krishna. A genuine guru decreases ego, not increases it. He removes ignorance and doubts. He enthuses the disciple.

When Diksha is misunderstood as organizational rank, depersonalized institutional authorization, and emotional social ceremony, then the spiritual essence is lost. Diksha becomes external form without internal substance. The real diksha is the transmission of realization through faithful connection. The ceremony formalizes what must be spiritually real.

If Diksha is the transmission of divine knowledge through parampara, then the relevant question is simple. Is the person properly connected and qualified? Not what is the biological structure of the temporary body they occupy. If a person is fully faithful to parampara and fixed in Krishna consciousness, Krishna can act through them. If not, external designation cannot compensate. This applies equally to men and women. Because Diksha is not a biological function. It is a spiritual transmission.

The external guru is Krishna’s representative. Krishna is the real initiator. The guru connects the disciple to Krishna. This is the essence of diksha according to shastra, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, and Srila Prabhupada. When this principle is understood, secondary debates lose their emotional charge. The real focus returns to the essence. Faithful transmission of Krishna consciousness through realized souls in disciplic succession. One is empowered to act as a guru, urged by Krishna, his guru, and other Vaishnavas. It does not work based on votes, depersonalized resolutions giving no solutions, or on one's own ambition to get a good following and income from disciples.

ANOTHER GODBROTHER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY, DEFENDING SRILA PRABHUPADA

Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja Defends Srila Prabhupada

BY: BHAGAVAT DASA (ACBSP)

Dec 7, USA (SUN) — Advice for the so-called editors of Srila Prabhupada’s books.
Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja was given the opportunity to reveal to the world the unrivalled perfection of Srila Prabhupada's masterful translation from Sanskrit into English of Bhagavad Gita. Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja was given the service by Srila Prabhupada of translating all of His books into the Odiya language. Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja was a great scholar who could write and speak in five languages: Odiya, Hindi, Bengali, English, and Sanskrit. He got his degree in English from the University with a minor in Sanskrit. He translated Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita with the greatest love and devotion and attention for detail.


PADA: Gaura Govinda Maharaja consulted with his sankrit pals to "prove" that Srila Prabhupada's saying we originated with Krishna is bogus and wrong. He made a whole series of videos saying that Back to Godhead is a bogus idea because we were never there. He never followed Srila Prabhupada's ideas, and in fact he challenged them, which is why he was voted into a sex with taxi drivers guru parampara as well. ys pd

New Bhajan / ISKCON laws / Garuda and Ajamila / Wolves in Saffron 02 19 26






 

Sridhara Maharaja being cited:

A Moment of Truth for ISKCON — and for All of Us | February, 16, 2026 Swami Padmanabha 

Most Recent Videos In Part 2 of "Is This the End?" 

Swami Padmanabha reflects on spiritual authority, institutional belonging, and the evolving dynamics of guru-tattva in contemporary devotional life. Drawing on the legacy of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, and B. R. Sridhar Maharaj, he situates present tensions within a broader historical continuum, inviting us to reconsider what genuine loyalty to a tradition truly means. 

Through the lens of Radical Personalism, Swami explores the balance between personal realization and institutional structure, the risks of impersonal authority, and the need to cultivate thoughtful, discerning practitioners. 

Acknowledging the grief, anger, and uncertainty many feel, he calls for mature, integrity-centered engagement — neither passive conformity nor cynical withdrawal. He concludes with a hopeful vision of a future where spiritual authority flows from realized character, institutions serve relationships, and truth — satyam param dhīmahi — remains our highest guiding principle. 

PART 1: Exploring ISKCON’s Multi-Layered Polycrisis - February 6th, 2026 • Exploring ISKCON’s Multi-Layered Polycrisi...

PADA: Ok so the radically personal Sridhara Maharaja makes a bi-sexual deviant as "the person" we all needed to worship as God's successor after 1936. And the man falls down, condemns the Gaudiya Vaishnavas and Srila Saraswati, becomes a smarta, and eventually drinks poison to die because his son was murdered with poison -- to keep the mission from having its scandals exposed. Great "persons" that "radically personal" Sridhara selects as his acharyas. Yep, he personally selects deviants to be acharyas. 

OK Sridhara just artificially makes conditioned souls as gurus and does not select actually qualified persons as his gurus. Worse, Srila Prabhupada says "they insisted on it." And then Sridhara became the darling promoter of the GBC 11 gurus. 

Now swami Padmanabha says we have to be -- "Acknowledging the grief, anger, and uncertainty many feel, he calls for mature, integrity-centered engagement — neither passive conformity nor cynical withdrawal." You mean like the thousands of children who were being starved, beaten and molested in the guru schools managed by Sridhara's acharyas? 

And those of us who were banned, beaten and killed for protesting the child abuse, after Sridhara Maharaja ordered "none should protest." None should protest starving, beating and molesting children? Or get killed, like protesters after 1936 were killed? 

Sorry, I see no personally responsible anything going on here. They promote the wrong persons as gurus, and then do not take any responsibility for all the problems they create, including mass banning, beating, molesting suing and killing -- and their protecting all that process by saying "none should protest" "you will disturb the faith in the sisyas." 

OK Sridhara Maharaja has faith in worship of homosexuals and pedophiles as messiahs, and the rest of us do not. So integrity centered engagement means, admit this is wrong, and admit Sridhara is responsible for creating mayhem -- for generations. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

BANGALORE VIDEO 

HK: The Bangalore video didn't talk about recent cases: 2012: HH Loknath Swami restricted by GBC for sexual abuse of child 2024: HH Giriraj Swami restricted by GBC for sexual relationship with disciple 2025: HH Trivikram Swami confessed sexual relationship with disciple. All this is published by official ISKCON GBC website.

PADA: Hansadutta had a personal harem of half dozen women, or more. One of the husbands of one of the women was going to the farm to "take out Hansadutta." And I restrained him and literally saved Hansadutta's life. 

Jayatirtha, Satsvarupa, Harikesh, Bhagavan, Kirtanananda, OK many of the others have been having affairs. Hansadutta was very grateful [???] I saved his life. After that he sent three enforcers from New Vrndavana to have me taken to the cemetary, I was only saved because the FEDS were tapping his phone and they sent undercover agents to protect me, and they did, they arrested the enforcers when they came to get me. 

Jayadvaita says their gurus have been engaged in affairs with men, women and maybe children, and then later he said that is the fault of the 5 years old gurukula children who "selected the wrong guru." They did not study the shastra properly! But Jayadvaita has studied the shastra, and that is why he annoints these predators as acharyas. ys pd

GARUDA AND AJAMILA

Hare Krsna! Puranjan Prabhu, last time you advertised Garuda das for BG :

But we can see he was also into distributing his OWN version of BG and criticising Srila Prabhupada. This Ajamila - he is against Ritvik system. He was the one who wanted to take away my shopping trolley in London (it was filled with Ritvik Docs "Betrayal" etc) You still trust them????

PADA: OK when I post a news item here, it does not always mean I trust or support the persons in the news. Garuda has been one of the best people around to gather quotes in support of original books, hold forums on the issue, make all sorts of propaganda for original books etc., perhaps more than almost any other devotee. But yeah, he is compromised in many other ways, and in fact he is sort of pals with guys like Jayadvaita. 

I agree, he has problems. He never seems to comment on my child abuse issue or the bogus guru issue when he meets with the GBC guys etc. But as I explained before, he only became prominent because almost no one else was addressing the issue. 

Krishna Kant and Kamasahanta for example ordered me do NOT sue the BBTI, "you are AGITATING the GBC, making it hard for us to make a deal." Later on, the HKC Jaipur guys started to cite these Kamsahanta guys, saying hey, why is Puranjana agitating our favorite pedophile messiahs, and he wants original books? Whereas Garuda is collating citations that would help a BBTI lawsuit. 

And then Prabhupadnaugas EU Mathura Pati joined them, Puranjana is suing our favorite pedophile messiahs, he is causing them to lose our precious golden shekels! While oddly, all these guys claim the want original books. They don't. They despise our efforts to make them. 

When are they going to make a deal with the GBC over the original books? How about never, it is all bluff 100%. But Krishna Kant still has complaints on his web site, Puranjana is deviating because he is suing my favorite enforced cult ritualist worship of homosexuals and pedophiles as messiahs club, and he is saving hundreds of children who are being pulled out of that process. We cannot be saving children, verbotten!    

So same type thing with Ajamila. He does not like us, but he also does not like the book changes, so he is sort of an ally on a few points. I also post many comments on the child abuse, which he posts a "like" because he approves me on some levels. 

Oddly, he lets me post all sorts of things on his forum and he does not block me. So yeah, he is for and against us, because he is obviously -- confused -- like a lot of devotees. Many hate me, but agree with my ideas, OK they have been polluted by GBC-ism and they cannot figure out the whole picture. They agree with me on the child abuse, book changes and sometimes even the poison issue, but they hate my guts anyway. 

That is because they still have some level of sympathy for the GBC process, and they cannot be loyal to either me, or the GBC, so they are sort of in no man's land. Lots of Gaudiya Matha people ended up same, they did not like the bogus gurus, but could not support making Srila Saraswati the acharya. Confused. Rocana is similar, he helped the child molesting lawsuit, he does not like changed books, but he still thinks he is going to reform these GBC guys and make them behave, which he will never do. ys pd    


THE STORY

This upcoming documentary exposes the systematic child abuse within the boarding schools of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. It examines how institutional failures allowed this abuse to continue for decades.
Sanaka Rsi guides viewers through his personal journey as a former gurukula student, grappling with the contradiction between founder Srila Prabhupada's vision of loving educational environments and the harsh reality he experienced. His search for answers leads him to question whether spiritual leadership can coexist with the protection of abusers.

Vedasara, a survivor of sexual abuse by multiple perpetrators within the organization, shares his testimony and his decades-long fight for justice. Despite repeated failures to achieve institutional accountability, he has found a path forward rooted in forgiveness and a commitment to protecting current and future children.

Dhira Govinda, former director of ISKCON's Child Protection Office, provides an insider's perspective on the corruption he witnessed—revealing how the organization systematically failed victims while shielding perpetrators.
The film exposes prominent ISKCON leader Radhanath Swami (Richard Slavin) as a key enabler who maintained his position of influence while allegedly supporting known abusers. 

It reveals that Bhakti Vidya Purna (Alan Ross Wexler) abused children for 40 years at Mayapur gurukula, and Dhanurdhara Swami (Dennis Winiker), former principal of Vrindavan Gurukula, subjected children to savage physical abuse. The documentary examines how these figures were protected by the institution, explores the devastating toll on survivors, and ultimately asks whether ISKCON can find redemption after straying so far from its founder's principles.

HOW OUTSIDERS VIEW ISKCON

ISKCON? What a funny lot they are with their extraordinary titles and peculiar interpretations of Vedas. They sneer at every other branch of the Hindu fold and insult the great realizers of our time such as Sri Ramakrishna, Anandamayi Ma, Ramana Maharishi. Pompous and self regarding, in love with their tilaks and kuntis attempting to bestow rules and regulations on all. 

Foolishness of a high order when they are riddled with scandals, particularly child abuse of all stripes! This cult has taken much from the colonial Christian converters of the eighteenth and nineteenth century in its tactical approach to mass religious sanctimony. I will say their temples are clean and peaceful, but woe betide any intelligent conversation with these prabhus!!!! 

Prabhupada was no match for the above mentioned or Devraha Baba or Neem Karoli Baba which is why he avoided them like the plague and wrote all Yogis off as Babajis. While he can be seen as an inspirational figure his highly repetitive interpretation of Scripture belongs to the class of sectarian pundit rather than illumined sage. The state of mind of his rabid cultic followers illustrated the validity of this point.

PADA: OK so when we said mass child abuse is a MAJOR problem, almost all the devotees said: -- so what, who cares, you are a nobody; a personna non grata; get out of ISKCON; you are an offender; leave us alone; you are the lone wolf barking at the moon etc. They forgot that a mass child abuse problem left unattended will eventually explode into the public arena and create big scandals. As it has.

We can only cover these things up for so long, and then it becomes a large scale publicly known problem. An odious looking scandal. Just look at the whole Epstein thing, all sorts of big wig people knew there was a problem, but no one did much of anything, instead -- efforts of cover up were made, and now it is all over the media. The cover up looks just as bad as the original crimes. 

Of course, there are complaints it is still being covering up and we are not getting to the root issues. Bottom line, cover up of child abuse often ends up badly, for the victims and for the cover ups. And it makes the organization look bad. 


And thus now more and more people are publicly criticizing ISKCON as a haven for child abuse. That means, not listening to us -- one or two crank cases -- forced the issue out into the mass of public where it is no longer "one lone wolf PADA fool barking at the moon and talking about it." Now millions and millions of people know about it, and worse, they know some of us who protested -- like Sulochana -- were murdered by ISKCON goons. 

Yes, we are gurus, and yes, that means we are "riddled with scandals particularly child abuse of all stripes." That is EXACTLY what we warned about originally. We have to contain this problem, or it will explode into the public arena -- never mind many children will suffer exploiting, become victims, and live a distressed life of trauma, psychological problems, drug abuse, potentially suicide and etc. 

Silencing us simply caused the problem to get exponentially worse, and then leak out in other formats. And now it looks more and more -- to the public -- like "rabid cultic followers" than a bona fide religion, which is what we said would happen. I take no joy in this, because we all have to now suffer getting a bad public image, but -- I told ya!

DESIRE FOR PRESTIGE

Achyutananda: One time Prabhupada and I visited Lalita Prasada, Bhaktisiddhanta's brother, who looked exactly like their father, Bhaktivinode Thakura. In his house I saw some of the hand written books written by Bhaktivinode Thakur. At that time Prabhupada was living in Bhaktivinode Thakura's birthplace in Birnagar. Prabhupada said, "We will take care of you. We will develop this place. It will be an international center."

Lalita Prasada said, "Yes, but I must be guru. You must step down and I must be acharya."

Prabhupada said, "Okay", and we left.

Prabhupada then looked at me and said, "I didn't believe it, that even after giving up lust, desire for prestige lingers on even to the end."

When I asked him, "What broke up the Gaudiya Matha?" Prabhupada said, "They were always worried who was going to give initiation. They couldn't wait a few years until a guru manifested?" He said, "My Godbrothers were fighting over material properties and money."

=====

PADA IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM (update)

PADA: Oh no, another GBC guy from India complains that I am "giving ISKCON a bad name." 

My reply:

Dear Prabhu, When I told Jayapataka there is a mass child mistreatment program in 1979, he told me to take all of this to court. So we had them sued for $3,000,000 then later on sued for $400,000,000 for that issue, because the GBC wanted a public court process. They wanted all of this in the public courts and news. 

Are you saying we should have allowed more children to become victims and not taken any action? They told me they wanted all this dirt in the media and courts. Sivarama swami met with us? No, he supported the illicit affairs with men, women and children guru program and helped have us removed.

They also sent enforcers here to take out my associate, and put him in an early grave, which they did, when he was complaining about the mass child mistreatment. And they would have taken me out and put me into the graveyard, except the FEDS arrested the three people then sent here from New Vrndavana to remove me from my body. 

All of that was all over the TV and news. The GBC wants all sorts of bad media stories about their scandals such as "Monkey On A Stick" books and movies (which I am in). So I was interviewed a number of times in the media over -- why ISKCON guru process wanted me in the early graveyard and not alive anymore? It was a scandal they wanted to make, not us? And I always have to explain in the media, they wanted to take me out because I complained about the mass child mistreatment.

When Jayatirtha was taken out by a disciple -- because he was having affairs with followers, that was all over the news medias "Guru's head removed." That does not include all sorts of other bad medias going on constantly. Then the GBC sued Bangalore, which was also in all over the newspapers. The GBC went back to court again with Bangalore recently, and it was all in the news media. They WANT bad media.

They removed me for complaining about criminal things, including mass child mistreatments -- and wanted all this in court -- because -- they want bad publicity. They told me they want bad media public court cases -- and yes -- that means -- bad media. Then the Jayapataka people complained I cost ISKCON $100,000,000 by supporting a number of lawsuits, but they are the ones who told me -- they wanted me to work with PUBLIC lawsuits. 

So if we allow child mistreatment to go on, and not challenge that process, then we are enabling mass child mistreatment and we are implicated. It amazes me that GBC people are complaining that we are against child mistreatment, and they are angry with me, but not angry at the people who made the child mistreatment problem that we had to sue -- like Jayapataka.

Sivarama fully supported the guru parampara of illicit affairs with men, women and children, he does not even know that this is not part of Krishna's parampara. He also complained that I was causing publicity, because he wanted me not to help the thousands of children victims.

A person who is artificially making illicit affairs with men, women and children into gurus and God's successors -- wants bad media, because bad media always follows such a process -- because it is unacceptable even for the karmis. And yes, anyone who makes illicit affairs with men, women and children into Krishna's successors had better be challenged, because if we do not, we are implicated in acquiescing, and Chanakya Pandit says those who cover up crimes are equal as the criminals. 

You guys always tell me I should remain silent on the mass child mistreatment process, that is aiding and abetting the crime. It is amazing I am always advised by GBC guys to sit back and do nothing when children are victims. Of course just telling children to worship people who are engaged in illicit affairs is a crime against children in itself. Sivarama does not know that. ys pd
