ISKCON ENDS! / Vedabase Issue / ISKCON Legacy / Agnideva / Giriraj 04 28 26

LOVING KRISHNA IS ALSO LOVING OURSELF

IT IS THE END!

Chandrasekhar Cyril Wohrer. Now he is preaching from the Christian's pulpit! Or what? Lots of GBC folks have this interfaith idea: We should all be like Christians and worship a pure devotee! Yipee!

Wait what! And as soon as the GBC finds out we are worshiping a pure devotee -- we are the bogus concocting ritviks "following bogus Christianity"? Which means we are not going to worship the GBC's homosexuals and pedophiles messiahs project! 

Oh oh pilgrims, then we will be banned, beat, sued and -- killed. Sorry dude, we are not allowed to worship a pure devotee and that is why the temples are empty ghost towns. A person who promotes a homosexual and pedophile messiah's program will not attract Western people, even if he wears pants! Where does ISKCON find these guys? Hee hee ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

VEDABASE PROBLEMS

These past few days we have had a direct conversation with the manager of vedabase.io.

We ask you something simple: to serve Srīla Prabhupāda's books as they were originally published. We offer you the data — a comprehensive report with each documented change, verse by verse. Over 5,000 changes in the Gītā, 3,100 more in the Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritām Másta. We even offer technical assistance to implement it.

The response:

1. "I have family and they can sue me." »

2. "I can be shut down at any moment." »

3. "I'm busy with another project (Vidyabase). »

Regarding point 2, something needs to be clarified: he is the owner of the domain vedabase.io. He who controls the domain, controls the site. No one can "lock it down" if he decides to serve the original editions. It's your decision, not an external imposition.

Regarding point 3: Vidyabase has been in development for years. "I'm busy getting it done" is not a reason, it's an excuse.

What we worry about is not a personal fight. What worries us is that thousands of devotees read every day on vedabase.io believing that they are reading Prabhupāda’s original words — and they are not. They are reading a posthumously edited version without author's approval.

We decided not to wait. That’s why vedabase.cc exists — the original books, verified word-for-word with the first print editions. Let each devotee decide what he wants to read. But at least he does it knowing the difference.

vedabase.cc — Books as Srīla Prabhupāda wrote them.

In the picture, Prahlad Nrsimha poised for the torrential criticism coming upon him for being complicit in serving fake Srila Prabhupada books, just for personal comfort.

PADA: Pratyatosa was one of the original engineers of original book sites and other sites have essentially copied his. He made the Causlessmercy site some time ago, and others have subsequently emerged. I think he deserves a lot of credit for helping get this process moving along. 

He also was the person who originally contacted Windle Turley to get some justice for the abused gurukulis, and while some complained the victims only got smaller settlements, some victims told me the little settlement they got saved their lives because no one else was ever going to give them a penny. Anway, the original books idea is taking off, very good!

ISKCON'S FUTURE AND LEGACY IS: HINDUS!

PADA: ISKCON is North America is gradually placing mainly Hindus on the official -- legally registered -- ISKCON charity managerial board. And according to my various sources, some of these Hindu managers -- who are now legal representatives of ISKCON -- eat meat and worship Sai Baba, Vivekananda and so on and so forth. And that is the trend and tendency perhaps world wide at this stage. I do not honestly think the GBC wants successors who are following the original aim and object of ISKCON. 

They seem to want people who will give donations that they can siphon off for their personal welfare. At one temple here, the 7 Hindu co-legal managers voted to stop the one Caucasian GBC guy from having access to the finances, accounts and bookeeping, because they realized too much money was going missing. Now he is not able to over-ride the other 7, so they have effectively taken control of the temple. 

I think that is the future they are steering towards generally. And once the one Western GBC guy is gone, he will be replaced by another Hindu, as the most likely outcome. Meanwhile the younger Western devotees boycott ISKCON because they have no place in the current Hindu-ized process. Nor is there any atempt to outreach to them, nor is any likely. ys pd

PADA: Yes prabhu it is true. Most of the people visiting ISKCON for Sunday feasts are the Hindu congregation members in N. America. Many or most of them eat meat, and they go to Hindu meat serving restaurants. 

The one vegetarian Hindu restaurant in the city just started serving meat "by popular demand." A lot of them also have photos of Sai Baba, Rama Krishna, Vivekananda etc. in their homes. I know a lot of these Hindus myself. 

The Jayapataka Bengalis poojaris would leave the temple when they got their green cards to work at the Muslim restaurant down the street. Of course, Trump has messed up their Visas so now the temple has a cook and poojari shortage. I am not sure why Ekadasi restrictions matters since ISKCON congregations many times eat meat, whether they eat certains things on Ekadasi does not seem to have any relevance. 

There was four Bengali poojaris who would all go to the doughnut shop after mangala arotike to chat with the young waitresses. Not sure what their standards are, since they love doughnuts and coffee, and talking to young ladies. ys pd

=====

PADA: Someone told me they would unplug his life support tonight. Agnideva was friendly to me, and friends with all the camps. And I think he just wanted to do kirtan and avoid the guru issues etc. 

Aindra was criticized for doing the same type thing, he was being challenged for chanting in the GBC temples -- and that allegedly helps the GBC. Anyway it is what it is, and he is on his way to his next destination. I wish him well and God speed. ys pd 

LATEST UPDATE RE

HH AGNIDEVA PRABHU BY Anuradha Dasi

Agnidev Prabhu is currently at a stroke center in Salt Lake City. The procedure that was attempted to dissolve the clot was unfortunately not successful. At this time, he remains unresponsive and is on a ventilator. The prognosis is uncertain, and we are told it could be a matter of hours or days. Krishna Presthaya and all of Agnidev Prabhu’s children are by his side. Devotees from around the world are holding him in their hearts and offering prayers.

Radhanath Swami has been chanting for him live over FaceTime. We will share as much information as we can as it becomes available. We humbly ask everyone to please continue your prayers and good wishes for Agnidev Prabhu and his family during this time. If you need any further information, you are welcome to message privately.

GIRIRAJA WAS SENILE AND THEN NOT?

The more the truth is exposed, the more difficult it is for the kids to pretend his "holiness". And to the blind followers who used to wear sunglasses to avoid seeing the truth, now have to practically hide their heads in shame (if they had any shame). At this point no matter what happens it looks terrible for Giriraja and for ISKCON.

For example, what was it about Giriraj Swami's "sickness"?

Was he healed miraculously or already doing the same thing but without exposing himself to the world? Where is the "diagnosis" that the "disciples" talked about so much?

We understand it. After decades of presenting your teacher as pure, it must be hard to finally realize that you have worshiped a conditioned soul and misplaced person, who pretends to be what he is not. And when he is unveiled, all that is left is a greedy, lusty, dirty old man -- filled with animal lust and unfulfilled material desires. He said he always wanted to get married, why didn't he just be honest and get married already? He wanted to cheat people, and they send him back to India "as good as new" to continue the cheating. 

More ISKCON Child Molesting / Witness and Victim Intimidation / Threats Etc. 04 27 26

 

PADA: There you have it, we have "no objection" to our homosexual and pedophile acharya's club members. 

PADA: Oh oh pilgrims, more ISKCON child molesting is STILL going on. More cover up also STILL going on. More intimidation, threats and harassing to the people reporting the issue also STILL going on. Worse, the child victims are being subjected to torturous re-examination of their complaints by GBC agents, re-victimizing the victims. As happened before and is STILL going on. Can someone with legal expertise help these people?

It is interesting that these GBC complainer folks sent their message to PADA, knowing the GBC is not going to help. Or worse the GBC is going to obstruct. So it looks like PADA was right all along, the child abuse issue has NOT been settled. Worse, the same whistle blower / witness / advocate / victim harassing is STILL going on. So the GBC folks have been doing this all along and STILL are. Told ya! 

As far as Nepal, we heard a complaint that Mahavishnu swami (UK) has been sending boys from Nepal to Mayapur where they were abused. All this seems to keep happening over and over -- because nothing serious is ever done to get to the root problems, i.e. predators and their enablers are allowed to participate in the ISKCON society, and when discovered, the society systematically represses the issue. And represses the victims and their advocates. Of course, they murdered Sulochan and wanted to murder me for being whistle blowers.

At the same time, the Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / Krishna Kirtan / Pancali / Mathura Pati -- Matias sabji -- Prabhupadanugas EU / Bhakta Peter / Krishna Kant Desai IRM / Kamsahanta / HKC Jaipur pedophile messiah's lover's club folks all ganged up at one time to make a forum "to have PADA removed from the internet." 

Well yeah, then whistle blowers and victims cannot send PADA their complaints to help their case. That way the pedo lover's club can continue their child abuse program unobstructed. Yep, Sulochana called these people "boot lickers for the butt busters." Evidently, they are GBC defenders, and de facto defenders of the GBC process. So there are a lot of direct and indirect supporters for the pedophile lover's process. And that is why it continues. 

Yeah let us get rid of the people who are trying to stop our anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's club! Of course, Sulochana ALSO said "these people worship sex with stools." Well yup. Then they say we are "using bad language," while not being able to defeat that this is all factual.    

Nearly all of the above are infuriated that PADA refuses to promote their Radhanath cheer leaders program, because PADA thinks that program is behind most or all of this child abuse. Anyway, we hope that others will help and support these whistle blower people are start containing all this abuse, it has to be stopped. That is all there is to it, this must be stopped, full stop period. 

In any case yes, take this to the police and courts, ISKCON is not going to contain this problem without outside pressure, as we have seen over and over. Someone complained I was "too harsh" with Saudamani Dasi. But she is in the Auschwitz for kids headquaters of Mayapur. And notice, most of the people named as protecting the pedophiles are Jayapataka people (JPS). She is with that camp, and shares in the karma of that program. If we are eating off the plates of the Kauravas, we will be infected, that is what Bhisma said. Anyway, hate to say I told you so, but I did!

Hare Krishna Prabhuji and Mataji. PAMHO. AGTSP.

We write to you not only as members of the ISKCON community, but as deeply distressed parents of children affected by the recent visit of the CPO panel to Nepal, reportedly led by Hari Prerit Das (Prerit Shukla) along with three external lawyers.

This email serves as a formal complaint, demand for accountability, and notice of legal escalation regarding the conduct of this panel during their visit.

As per the official CPO framework outlined in the document:

https://gbc.iskcon.org/gbc_res/CPO_Guidelines_Oct_2012.pdf

It is clearly stated that investigative procedures must follow strict ethical, structural, and jurisdictional boundaries. We raise the following immediate concerns:

●     The panel composition itself is questionable. The guidelines indicate a structured and limited investigative body. How and under whose authority were four individuals (including three external lawyers) appointed?

●     Why was the entire investigation procedure proceeded as a conspiracy, without any proper investigative procedure followed?

●     We demand full disclosure of authorization, mandate, and scope granted to this panel.

What occurred during this visit was not an inquiry - it was an abuse of authority.

Under the pretext of investigating complaints related to the Gurukula, the panel:

●     Subjected our children to aggressive, coercive, and psychologically distressing questioning

●     Forced minors to video interviews alone in the room, without presence of parents/ guardian

●     Asked irrelevant, belittling, and leading questions, not about child protection - but about internal managerial issues

●     Pressured minors beyond acceptable limits, causing visible distress (fully documented)

●     Harassed parents with unrelated and intrusive questions about temple finances and individuals not connected to the case

●     Operated far outside their jurisdiction

We state this with full responsibility: Our children were not protected - they were exploited. All interactions are documented via video recordings and CCTV footage, and we (the family) possess undeniable evidence of these actions.

When confronted, members of the panel:

●     Admitted to their inappropriate behavior

●     One individual reportedly suffered a panic episode under questioning, further raising concerns about their competence and conduct

Based on the nature and direction of questioning, we have strong reason to believe this was not a neutral investigation but a targeted attempt to defame and destabilize leadership within ISKCON Nepal, particularly Patri Prabhu, Mahavishnu Swami and other leaders of ISKCON Nepal.

We demand a thorough investigation into the possible involvement of:

●     HH Bhakti Purusottam Swami

●     HH Bhakti Vijay Bhagavat Swami

●     HH Bhakti Prachar Parivrajak Swami

●     Certain Nepal-based individuals with known histories of factionalism and power struggles, such as Revati Kanta Balaram Das (JPS) Ambuja Krishna Das (JPS), Kripalu Gaursundar Das (JPS)

●     We also raise concern regarding the involvement of individuals (Mr. Buddhi Sharan Shintakala, previously known as Bhatta Raghunath Das, disciple of HH Radhanath Swami, left ISKCON and initiated into GVA as Bhugarva Goswami Das) who have previously distanced entire community from ISKCON and attempted to influence or divide the devotee community.

●     Political minded devotees who are trying to create guru-faction in Nepal including Visvajit Vrajesa Das (JPS), Acharya Ratna Das (JPS), Siddhirupa Devi Dasi (JPS), Brihad Nitai Das (JPS), Rochan Jagannath Das (JPS), Laxmipati Das (JPS), Dipasna Rana (inspiring for JPS) who appeared violently during the conversation of parents with CPO panel to threaten all the parents

The consequences of this incident are severe:

●     Children have been emotionally harmed

●     Families feel violated and betrayed

●     Community trust has been deeply shaken

●     A stable spiritual environment has been deliberately disturbed

It takes years to build faith and unity. This reckless act has endangered both.

We hereby demand the following actions:

A formal written apology from the CPO (India) to the ISKCON Nepal community within 15 days.

A full independent investigation into:

○     The authorization and conduct of the panel

○     Possible external influence or bias

Immediate clarification of CPO operational accountability and oversight mechanisms. 

Assurance that such individuals will never be permitted to conduct activities in Nepal again.

We inform you that:

●     A legal case has already been filed in Nepal

●     Failure to respond adequately will result in:

○     Legal escalation within Nepal

○     Filing of legal proceedings in India

○     Submission of all video and CCTV evidence to national media and public platforms.

If any involved individuals attempt to re-enter Nepal, we will pursue immediate legal action, including arrest under applicable laws.

We urge ISKCON leadership at all levels to take this matter with the seriousness it demands.

This is no longer an internal issue.

This is about child safety, abuse of authority, and institutional accountability.

We expect a prompt, transparent, and responsible response.

Hare Krishna,

On behalf of the concerned families of ISKCON Nepal Gurukula,

Krishna Tulsi Das (Brother of Gurukuli Student)

Hare Krishna. PAMHO. AGTSP.

It has come into our notice that attempts are made to divert the reality. Please don't try to distort this serious child abuse in the name of CPO investigation by making false allegations that we, the parents, took knives to meet the CPO investigation team. The whole conversation is video recorded till the police arrived on the scene. With undeniable evidence present with us, we simply demand that we want justice for our children. Please don't dare to play game with us. And kindly address this issue within15 days.

Message Body

My most revered Sri Srimad Jayapataka Swami Maharaja,

Dear GBC Members, Maharajas, and Respected Temple and Center Authorities,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I write this letter with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency regarding a deeply troubling situation involving a child protection matter and its subsequent handling.

My name is Kanai Sundar das. I have been visiting ISKCON since 2002 and have been seriously practicing Krishna consciousness since 2007. I am an initiated disciple of HH Radhanath Swami (first initiation in 2019, second initiation in 2024). I have been engaged in pioneering preaching efforts in ISKCON Palpa and have served there in a leadership capacity.

Approximately 7–8 months ago, an adolescent girl in our congregation disclosed to my wife that she had been subjected to sexual harassment while at the Gurukula. In response, we responsibly involved the Child Protection Office (CPOC), and an external investigation process was initiated.

It is important to clarify that all interviews conducted during this process were facilitated transparently and with the knowledge and presence of ISKCON Budhanilkantha Temple authorities and Gurukula staff. There was also a female assistant present to support the process. At no point were individuals forcefully taken or interviewed without oversight, contrary to the allegations now being circulated.

During the course of this investigation, a highly alarming and deeply distressing incident occurred which I feel duty-bound to present with full seriousness.

While the CPO representatives were staying in accommodation arranged by ISKCON Budhanilkantha Temple authorities, they were suddenly confronted and surrounded by a large group—approximately 30–35 individuals—who entered and effectively confined them within the room. What followed was not a mere disagreement, but a situation of intimidation and coercion that created a genuine atmosphere of fear and danger.

They were pressured, recorded against their will, and attempts were made to force statements and signatures on blank documents. Their investigative materials, including sensitive recordings, were taken from them. In the course of these events, we later came to understand that at least one individual required medical attention and had to be rushed to the hospital.

It was observed that among those present in the room were the principal accused, Sundar Gopal das and Divya Radhika Mataji. Also present were temple authorities, including Mahaprabhu Kripa das (Temple President), Kantish Sharma, Bhanubhakta Joshi, Rama Jivan Kanaiya das, and Krishna Tulasi, along with a large group of individuals.

The atmosphere in the room was highly charged and aggressive. Krishna Tulasi was seen shouting and using harsh, abusive language, while others actively surrounded and pressured the investigators. The group collectively attempted to influence the process—pressuring the investigators to make statements and prepare reports favorable to them.

Most concerningly, one of the external investigators later conveyed that some individuals present appeared to be carrying knives, which were concealed when there was an indication that police intervention was imminent.

During this incident, one of the investigators managed to discreetly send me a message from within the room. Upon receiving this, we immediately contacted the police and personally intervened at the location. By Krishna’s mercy, we were able to assist in securing their release and ensured their safe exit from Nepal, escorting them overnight to India.

I submit this with a heavy heart: this was not merely obstruction—it was an incident that placed the safety and well-being of those involved in serious jeopardy, and it has left a lasting impact on all who were connected to it.

I was given clear assurances by CPOC and CPO Bharat that:

* I would be protected as a whistleblower

* My identity would remain confidential

* I would not face personal or legal risk

However, the current situation reflects the opposite. Material in which I appeared has been handled in such a way that my identity has effectively been exposed. As a result, I am now facing social hostility, being labeled as disloyal, and subjected to public disrespect.

Additionally, I am now being summoned by the police under allegations that are deeply distressing and appear to contradict the coordinated efforts that were previously agreed upon between CPO, CPOC, GBC representatives, and ISKCON Budhanilkantha Temple authorities.

I respectfully submit that instead of protection being extended, I am experiencing vulnerability and isolation.

In light of these developments, I humbly request the following:

1. Clarification and confirmation of my status and protection as a whistleblower in this case.

2. Immediate steps to ensure my personal safety and legal protection.

3. A transparent and impartial review of the events surrounding the obstruction of the investigation.

4. Accountability for those who engaged in intimidation, coercion, and interference with the investigative process.

5. Clear guidance on whether I may safely visit the temple and continue my devotional practices without fear or hostility.

I also respectfully seek to understand whether the Child Protection Office and GBC intend to actively uphold their responsibility in this matter. The current silence and lack of visible action are deeply concerning and difficult to reconcile with the principles we are meant to stand for.

This situation is not only about an individual case—it directly impacts the trust in our institutional commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and upholding justice within our society.

I remain your servant, and I place this matter at your feet with the hope that truth, protection, and accountability will prevail.

Yours in service,

Kanai Sundar das

No More Wars! / Saudamani and Pranada: Blood on Their Hands 04 26 26

PADA: There you have it folks. They all said -- there would be no more wars -- except when they said -- they will be making more of them. Yes only incompetent fools make wars! Righty ho! 

Various experts are now saying that without the fertilizer coming out, there could eventually be worldwide food production shortages -- and mass starvation etc. I dunno, but it seems there could be all sorts of issues if this continues. Maybe there are some people in the Government who realize -- a fertilizer shortage could make a billion people, or many more, face starvation. And the USA would be blamed for making this happen. 

That means our USA may think we are forced to use desperation techniques to open up the strait at any cost. A ground invasion? But a sea based invasion of a land mass is always very hard to do, and creates a big manpower loss for the invaders, and that is history. 

And what happens if Iran retaliates and takes out all the other Gulf states oil and desalinization operations -- if Iran is bombed again? It looks like there are no good options here. Which is why -- we are hesitating and not using any -- so far. But we are building up more resources and there might be a plan to -- escalate. Escalation has many hazards of its own. Meanwhile various congress people are vowing to defund this war. 

In any case it really is a mess. Yet we all knew all that in the 1980s, Iran controls the strait. This was well known by everyone all along. But there are always some folks who think the rules won't apply to them, ISKCON pt. 2 hee hee.  

My friend Markendeya Rsi (Hawaii) told me -- Tulsi Gabbard is going to make absolute certain fer sure -- the USA has no more wars. I told him that is not possible, she cannot overturn them. He got so upset he blocked me, but as it turns out, she was not able to contain them, just as we predicted. 

Some political commenter said, the USA's plan to make worldwide economic Armageddon -- and maybe create mass petrol and food shortages -- may lead to an actual Armageddon. And it looks like, that would make the USA Evangelicals very happy. Jesus will come back when that happens! Of course! 

Meanwhile the USA is inviting NATO to take over military operations and start bombing Iran to get their own oil. OK they already know that will not end well. You are welcome to clean up our mess!

Sorry, these leaders are not rational and that should be clear by now. It truly is amazing how badly they deviated from their original promises. 

Which is why Chanakhya Pandit says -- do not trust a politician or a prostitute. Hee hee! Unfortunately, a lot of vulnerable people are going to suffer a lot from all this, and many of them already are. This is the result of Kali Yuga's leaders taking over the world by hook, crook, force, lies, cheating and no small amount of carpet bombing the bejeepers out of all sorts of civilian people. Anyway, buckle up, the ride may get bumpy.

SAUDAMANI DEPARTS

I’ve just heard that Saudamani devi dasi has left her body, just a few hours ago, in the holy place of Mayapura. Others who knew her better can tell much more about this lovely, intelligent Vaisnavi. One particular memory comes to me, from a conversation I had with her some years ago.

She said, ‘you know when you go to visit some temple, you may hear wonderful classes, but the people you remember most fondly are the ones who took care of your needs, fed you, and so on?’ She went on to say that she felt Krishna would give special mercy to His pujaris, who daily dress Their Lordships, offer Them all kinds of services, put Them to rest at night.

For decades, Saudamani and her husband lived in the Philadelphia temple, and she served as the head pujari. I’m sure Lord Krishna has some personal service lined up for her in the eternal realm. My condolences to her family members and those closest to her and Ravindra Svarup Prabhu.

PADA: Unfortunately, Mayapur has an odious and well known reputation for severe child abuse, and harboring and enabling abusers. And it is a place where the main leaders of "the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexuals and pedophiles as messiah's project" reside. 

Ravindra swarupa is a leader of the 1986 "50 man committee guru reform" -- where they reinstated Bhavananda, aka oral sex with taxi drivers - pada, as their Vishnupada acharya. And they excommunicated Sulochana for "making offenses" to their other homosexual -- and / or oral sex with boys guru -- Kirtanananda. 

He was having oral sex with boys in his motorhome and evidently, was trying to have sex with a cat. So Ravindra Swarupa dedicated his entire adult life to making children worship his homosexual and pedophile -- oral sex pada -- sex with cats pada -- Vodka drinking -- sex with half dozen ladies pada -- pals as "God's successors." And that is why Sulochana called them "a guru suck-session," and that is why Saudamani and Ravindra's program killed him. 

As for Saudamani, a number of people asked me about her and her whereabouts. I did not know anything about her situation. But she is like many / most of my God brothers and sisters, they leave their bodies without ever saying that the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's program is bogus. And my karmi friend told me, they cannot speak out -- because they are compromised. Well yup.  

by Pranada devi dasi (Comtois)

Saudamani devi dasi my dear godsister just passed away in Mayapur.

In 1985 Nagaraja and I moved to Philadelphia for his BTG service. I was searching for a godsister who would stand with me to open back up services women had been allowed to do but had stopped.

PADA: Yep, in 1985 Pranada's Back to Godhead magazine was advertising Kirtanananda as "Krishna's pure devotee" and saying things about Kirtanananda like "Meet a pure devotee of Krishna." Meanwhile me and Sulochana were saying that Kirtanananda's program has a lot of child abuse, including that Kirtanananda is giving blow jobs to boys.  

And the Pranada / Satsvarupa / Nagaraja program was full time fighting us, saying me and Sulochana are "poison pens" "offenders to pure devotees" and so on, so they could suppress us, defend their blow jobs on boys messiahs, and make us targets for assassination. And that is what happened, those of us who did not want children to worship Pranada's illicit sex gurus were targets for termination, due to their virulent propaganda against us. Sulochana said, "they painted a bull's eye on my back." Yeah, and according to Berkeley police, my back too.

And so Sulochana was murdered, and I was almost murdered. I was only saved by the FEDS and the Berkeley police. And the child abuse continued on. And thanks to Pranada's "Back to Godhead" propaganda, even the general public and mass media was informed that Kirtanananda is one of ISKCON's Jesus like successors to God, an assistant of the gopis no less, when he was in fact a homosexual pedophile giving blow jobs to boys. OK they lied that he is a guru. 

Pranada's program wanted to confuse the devotees and the mass of public about who is God's successor and who is not. And they did. There are still many mass media reports that "Kirtanananda is a guru" that have been made in thousands and thousands of karmi mass medias, and still are being made now, thanks to people like Pranada making all these lies. And placing our lives in peril for pointing to their lies.  

Some of the ex-children victims of Pranada's program told me they were in Auschwitz for kids. That would make Pranada one of the female SS commander officers under Der Fuhrer there, and would make her operating as the chief: Oberaufseherin — senior overseer -- often the highest-ranking woman; rapportführerin — report leader, responsible for roll calls and discipline; lagerführerin — camp leader etc. She has been one of the SS gestapo's chief female operatives in their Auschwitz for kids project. And evidently Saudamani was one of the lesser SS gestapo officers, a cheer leader of Joe Goebbels Ravindra swarupa. 

And part of the discipline of her program is, us dissenters to her homosexual and pedophile messiah's program can be banned, beaten, sued and killed. And we were banned, beaten, sued and killed thanks to her program. And thousands of children were molested because they suppressed our complaints with fatal suppression. Anyone objecting to their pedophile messiah's out there? Kill em! 

And Satsvarupa was also Pranada's part time lover, and he was the main Joe Goebbel's writer saying Kirtanananda is a pure devotee and we are poison. This is why people ask me, was Pranada giving Satsvarupa blow jobs -- like her other gurus were getting blow jobs -- for example Giriraj swami? 

What kind of intimate relations was she having with SDG? And Sulochana said Satsvarupa is "the Joe Goebbels of ISKCON," writing about the glories of Pranada's homosexual and pedophile pooja Der Fuhrer process. And she is what, giving him blow jobs, while he is writing that we dissenters are poison pens, to get us exterminated -- because we object to Pranada's Auschwitz for kids project. And SDG is a co-Fuhrer.

So Pranada has been a big part of the cheer leading of making their Auschwitz for kids program. And recently she was advertising that her Auschwitz Fuhrer Jayapataka was giving her glorification for her writings. And JPS is "der Fuhrer und Reichskanzler" the Leader and Chancellor of the Reich -- of their Auschwitz for kids program. And Saudamani was one of the hand maiden assistants for that camp. 

Pranada is gloating that she is being glorified by "der Fuhrer of Auschwitz"? "I got a commendation medal of honor from the leader of the death camps for children." And she is proud of that? And Alachua has a number of people worshiping Jayapataka now, because they are in love with Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz for kids. And Saudamani is living in the Auschwitz for kids project's headquarters, assisting the Fuhrer of that project. 

Did I forget to mention, Ravindra swarupa had Sulochana excommunicated in 1986, because we were addressing all the child molesting? And Ravindra's program re-instated Bhavananda, so the children of ISKCON could worship Pranada's program's oral sex with taxi drivers messiah, as their Vishnupada acharya. Children need to worship oral sex with taxi drivers as Vishnupada, and that is Nagaraja's idea of Back to Godhead.

Sorry. All of the people who supported: Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz for kids; Satsvarupa's glorification of oral sex in the motorhome as a pure devotee; making us dissenters into poison pens for assassination, are the people responsible for all of the banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing. Saudamani was living in Mayapur under Jayaparaka, with Ravindra Swarupa, chief architect of making me and Sulochana targets for assassination for objecting to their Auschwitz for kids project. These people have a lot of blood on their hands: Sulochana's and the thousands of kids who suffered horribly in their death camp for kids project.  

Pranada is making videos about having love and compassion, and she has a lot of love. She loves Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz for kids, and his top SS reich officer supporters like Ravindra and Saudamani. Yep, she loves the people who live in that camp, like Ravindra swarupa and Saudamani. So they wanted to start a nice program of their "anal reconstructive surgery / sex with children epidemic" also called "a sodomy sampradaya" a "guru suck-session" and a "sex with stools parampara" etc. by Sulochana. No wonder they wanted us dead.

And they go and live in that camp, because they are that camp. And now someone writes to tell me Saudamani did 50 years of service, which is true. She serves Der Furher of Auschwitz for kids, lives in his empire as one of his maid servants, and helps Ravindra have us dissenters sent to the morgue. They have the blood of Sulochana and the blood of many children on their hands. 

Several godsisters declined expressing fear and saying that I didn’t know what I was up against. I approached Saudamani and she indicated that maybe she would be willing to help. She said, “What do you want changed?” I rattled off the list: women should be able to chant in the temple room, stand side-by-side with the men instead of in the back of the temple room, offer arati on the altar and for Srila Prabhupada, they should be able to give class and lead kirtan, giving initiation. . .

PADA: Yeah, we need to give women a guru certificate in their oral sex with taxi drivers and mass child molesting guru sampradaya. Which kills us.

She said, “What one thing, if changed, could have the biggest impact?” Obviously, she had something in mind. “I don’t know, what?” I asked. “Giving Bhagavatam class. If women start giving classes again it will be difficult to deny their intelligence and devotional standing.”

She suggested that I write her a letter expressing what I was seeing and she’d write a reply. It would appear innocent, innocuous, she said. Then she’d give the letters to Ravindra Svarupa Prabhu and if he approved of them, he could take them to the next GBC meeting. It was 1988 and Ravindra took our letters to the GBC with a request that they vote on allowing women to give Bhagavatam classes. Word came back to us that there was no need for such a vote as there was nothing on the books stating that women couldn’t give class.

So, Saudamani dasi said, We need to start giving classes. And so it was, Saudamani and I began giving Bhagavatam classes in Philadelphia after a 10 year hiatus in North America.

We can all say thank you to Saudamani for being fearless and intelligent (she was a master debater in college).

I love you Saudamani! God speed. Thank you for your lifetime of service to Srila Prabhupada.

[Photos: Saudamani Prabhu with her husband, Ravindra Svarupa Prabhu; and with Srila Prabhupada - sitting right below the lady standing.]

PADA: Yep, they love the people who serve Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz for kids, and go and live in his campus. And that boys and girls, explains how all the banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and murders took place. And now Jayapataka wants to spend another $20M suing us, because they cannot tolerate anyone worshiping a pure devotee and not Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz for kids. And Saudamani was one of their SS officer assistants. They cannot tolerate anyone worshiping a pure devotee and not the leaders of their anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's club.

And Saudamani devi dasi shares the karma of making all this happen. Of course, we still wish he well for her future life. Why would I not? But we cannot change the karma of the Oberaufseherin — senior SS female overseers -- of Auschwitz for kids. They will be held accountable on the superior court level. 

One of the things many ex-children tell me is how frustrated they are that none of these people even admits they made all this happen, and there is no accountability. But there is, no one can escape the laws of God. 

And the leaders of their Auschwitz for kids project will have their day in Krishna's superior court. And Sulochana said he would not trade his past billion years of karma for 30 seconds of their future karma, they will not be given any mercy because their program gave us and the children none. 

Rather their program gave us mass molesting and -- murders. Anyway, we are glad the leaders of Auschwitz for kids are departing. The planet will be better off without these leaders and cheer leaders of Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz project. It is a gradual purification process, which Krishna is arranging step by step. 

But yeah, whenever one of the leaders of Auschwitz for kids departs, the other Gestapo leaders hold a big ceremony to cry over the other SS officer departing. Meanwhile the Yamaduttas are happy and glad they finally get this SS officer in their domain.

Yeah LD, the Yamaduttas are just playing with Der Fuhrer of Auschwitz, just like Lord Narasimgha is like a cat playing with a mouse before He attacks. Yup!

HISTORY REPEATS

An excerpt:

Conscious that among those who chanted the praises of their God so sweetly there were some who cloaked with devotion the foulest sins, their hymns inspired him with detestation at their hypocrisy. He had long observed with disapprobation and contempt the superstition which governed Madrid’s inhabitants. His good sense had pointed out to him the artifices of the monks, and the gross absurdity of their miracles, wonders, and superstitious relics. 

He blushed to see his countrymen the dupes of deceptions so ridiculous, and only wished for an opportunity to free them from their monkish fetters. That opportunity, so long desired in vain, was at length presented to him. He resolved not to let it slip, but to set before the people, in glaring colours, how enormous were the abuses but too frequently practised in monasteries, and how unjustly public esteem was bestowed indiscriminately on all who wore a religious habit. He longed for the moment destined to unmask the hypocrites, and convince his countrymen, that a sanctified exterior does not always hide a virtuous heart.

(An excerpt from The Monk; Mathew Lewis; published 1795)

The Ritvik Reality Today:

It astounds me that people who claim to be well versed in Srila Prabhupada’s books also claim that Ritvik is a modern concoction. There are several passages describing Ritvik priests and their responsibilities.

The four types of Ritvik priests in Vedic rituals are:

· Hota: Recites invocations and litanies from the Rigveda.

· Adhvaryu: Assists in the physical details of the ritual, such as measuring the ground and building the alter.

· Udgata: Chants hymns set to melodies from the Samaveda.

· Brahma: The chief priest who supervises the overall functioning of the yajna and rectifies any mistakes during the performance

As our Acharya, Srila Prabhupada’s authorising of Ritviks to oversee initiations is bonafide. An Example Text regarding the reality of Ritviks from Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 9, Ch. 7 Text 22

visvamitro bhavat tasmin
hota cadhvaryur atmavan
jamadagnir abhud brahma
vasistho yasyah sama-gah (an alternative wording of udgata)

Translation

In that great human sacrifice, Visvamitra was the chief priest to offer oblations, the perfectly self-realized Jamadagni had the responsibility for chanting the mantras from the Yajur Veda, Vasistha was the chief brahminical priest, and the sage Ayasya was the reciter of the hymns of the Sama Veda.

(exalted personalities all) This text obviously isn’t about initiations post 1977, but it, along with many other verses, does prove that Ritvik is a reality for the past and present. How the uttama-adhikari Acharya chooses to implement the system is up to him, as it was in 1977 when Srila Prabhupada introduced the system of Ritvik initiations in ISKCON.

Unity in Diversity (possible but highly unlikely)

There are quite a few Gaudiya Vaishnava groups in the world today, and not all devotees accept Srila Prabhupada as their guru or Acharya. Such persons may believe their guru is uttama-adhikari, while others accept their guru is krpa siddhi (still conditioned but perfect in the sense of following their own uttama-adhikari guru perfectly). This is bonafide. 

We may personally doubt the qualifications, but our brothers and sisters claim to have accepted a genuine guru, and an individual’s choice should be respected. This does not endorse in any way foolish fallen deviant criminal imposter gurus or their complicit godbrothers / sisters or sycophantic followers.

Then there are those of us who believe Srila Prabhupada is the most recent uttama-adhikari Acharya in our Gaudiya sampradaya disciplic succession. In this case, following Srila Prabhupada’s advice to take shelter of the most recent uttama-adhikari Acharya, we accept Srila Prabhupada as our spiritual master. This is also bonafide, and should be respected as such. If respect is understood as a two-way street, unity in diversity is possible, otherwise it is only sentimental or pretentious.

A Bhagavad-gita Purport Excerpt Ch.10 Text 8

A learned scholar who has studied the Vedas perfectly and has information from authorities like Lord Chaitanya and who knows how to apply these teachings can understand that Krishna is the origin of everything in both the material and spiritual worlds, and because he knows this perfectly he becomes firmly fixed in the devotional service of the Supreme Lord. He can never be deviated by any amount of nonsensical commentaries or by fools.

Your servant,

R das

PADA: Generally the followers of a bona fide acharya understand that the acharya cannot be a conditioned soul. And as such, they consider worshiping a conditioned soul as guru to be a deviation. And there are many such examples of the conditioned soul guru process in ISKCON, the Gaudiya Math and in the history of many sahajiya (false acharya) cults in India. 

The bona fide acharyas almost always -- perhaps in all cases -- are regularly preaching that worshiping conditioned souls as gurus is not authorized, and is -- in fact -- a ticket for staying in the material world, if not a ticket to a lower planet in a lower life form. The followers of the bona fide acharyas consider worshiping conditioned souls as gurus to be staying in the same position spiritually, unable to advance. If not, such gurus and their followers are considered as going down to a lower destination, maybe to the most obnoxious regions. 

And when we see the spectacular tailspin of disrupted results of their premature guru program, we have no doubt that it is the case -- they are going down. They are already going down this life for that matter. So the unity has to come from the side of the conditioned soul gurus. They have to unite with the followers of the pure devotees, and accept and allow their program. 

That rarely happens, because the conditioned soul gurus know that worshipers of Srila Prabhupada are a theological and economic competitor. And that is why they teach their followers to ban, beat, sue and kill us. We are bad news for their guru business. And that is also why the Kauravas said -- they will not allow the Pandavas a piece of land the size of a pin head -- because they would compete with the Kauravas with any amount of allowance, and gradually expand. 

Hence, the GBC just this year AGAIN re-certified their previous statements that no ritviks [anyone who worships a pure devotee] are allowed to participate in ISKCON. In other words, the homosexual and pedophile messiah's program cannot allow anyone to worship a pure devotee in their society, because people will decide that is the better process.

Most people here in the West already decided to jettison the GBC's false guru process a long time ago. And so the temples are empty ghost towns. The mass of devotees have already left, voted with their feet, and abandoned the society of the GBC's illicit sex gurus. Anyway, the ball for unity is in their court. 

They have to quit making endless restrictions, rules, resolutions and laws that state "worshiping of pure devotees is NOT EVER found in shastra and is thus not ever allowed in ISKCON. But -- you can worship our illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's project." That is never going to attract many people. Or unite anything.

Then again some have suggested that the entire reason the GBC makes homosexuals and pedophiles into messiahs is -- to disgust people and empty the temples. Then they can make their meat eating and mayavada Hindu cultural hall program, which they are doing. That path for unity with the Kauravas was to accept and allow the Pandavas, that did not happen. 

They did not want that, and that is why history, and Krishna, have condemned them. The problem for many of us is, we feel that to cooperate with the GBC guru process is perhaps enabling and empowering their program, which is not something most followers of a bona fide acharya want to do. 

Then the false gurus ride on the coat tails of our compromiser process and it advertises their process. This was one of the main complaints against Aindra, his wonderful kirtan work -- is simply making an advertisement for the GBC's guru program. And unfortunately it ended badly for Aindra, and serves as an example why compromise with the GBC program is not easy, and often, not possible, and can be dangerous to life and limb. 

Devotees have wrote to PADA for 20 years, who can we write complaints to in the GBC body? There is no one we can recommend. They run a secret operation with secret meetings and the first thing the ISKCON PAMMHO network did when it launched was -- to block all of my messages. Anyway I am all for unity, but we need to unite under one acharya in my opinion, or better to remain separated and independent until some unity can be attained. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

BEING ANGRY IS NOT VAISHNAVA! (RH Dasa) 

Recently, a devotee was trying to sell me on the idea that nobody should ever display anger, for any reason. I rejected his proposal as being unbalanced. 

Firstly, according to Vaishnava philosophy, no emotional or mental state is inherently bad. Each emotion and mental state has its original, pure spiritual form, which is auspicious. Emotions displayed in a pure service mentality toward God and all living beings are pure and good, and emotions displayed for one’s own selfish motives are inauspicious. 

Even ignoring all spiritual considerations, on the material platform the anger a parent displays towards a child who has misbehaved is good for the child. The anger of the parent teaches the child not to behave badly. 

Here is a relevant quote from shastra regarding anger:

39. Even kindness to violent enemies is not conducive to ultimate good. He who is kind to such persons is ruthless though his ruthlessness is concealed by aft illusory kindness.

(Shiva Purana 7.1.31)

The devotee I was speaking with then said that punishment may be necessary, but the authority figure should not become angry while enacting the punishment. But I pointed out that a basic principle of human psychology is to mistake too much kindness for weakness. If an authority figure always corrects their subordinate in a polite and gentle mood, then the tendency will be for the subordinate to think the authority figure is weak, and that they can misbehave all they want without fear of the authority figure. 

Shastra confirms this principle:

Indeed calmness (forbearance) and forgiveness, also guilelessness and politeness of speech-these virtues of the noble are mis-construed as weakness, when directed towards those bereft of these virtues.

(Ramayana Yuddha Khanda 21.14-21)

When a subordinate misbehaves in a serious way, the anger displayed by the authority figure is shocking and frightening to the subordinate. This shock and fear leaves a strong impression on the subordinate’s mind, and will deter them from misbehaving in the future. In order for an authority figure to be effective in their role, there must be some healthy fear and respect for them on the part of the subordinate. This principle is true for parents, kings, teachers, etc. 

In fact, I would say that a person in a position of authority isn’t doing their job properly if they never display anger towards subordinates under any circumstances.

Fanatical pacifism is just as unbalanced as too much aggression. Humans should always seek to conduct themselves, and all of society in a balanced, common sense fashion. Common sense tells us that anger has a use, when used properly. Although, careful consideration should go into the use of anger and punishment, and these should not be applied unnecessarily.

RH

Bahulāśva: Kṛṣṇa's activities are always for the good. So even when He becomes angry there is no loss.

Prabhupāda: That is also...

Dr. Mize: Righteous anger.

Bahulāśva: Yes, spiritual anger.

Dharmādhyakṣa: It's His mercy. So if Kṛṣṇa gets angry at us, that's actually...

Prabhupāda: Everything has got proper use. In the material condition we do not know that. Therefore Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has made a list, how to use your, this anger, greediness, like that……….Just like Hanumān. He became angry upon Rāvaṇa. He set fire in his city, destroyed the whole city. He showed his anger, but not for his personal sense gratification. He wanted to serve Lord Rāma. Sītā was stolen by him, so there was arrangement for fighting, and he did the same thing, set fire.

BHAGAVAT HEALTH CRISIS

Dandavat Pranams Dear devotees

I'm posting this on behalf of Srila Bhaktivedanta Bhagavat Maharaj's disciples and well wishers with his permission.

Beginning in 2016, after a 1-month fever sickness, Srila Maharaj has had progressive expanding neuropathy from his toes now up to his knees. It is a very painful and debilitating experience for him to walk or move around in any way. He has also developed A-Fib approximately 5 years ago.

After a TIA in January 2024, we arranged for Srila Maharaj to get treatments in India. While stabilizing him at the time, in his most recent India trip in early 2025 he had a couple falls in Bangalore. While the doctors ruled out neurological reasons for them, they still had an adverse effect on his recovery process.

Since returning to the USA, we arranged for comprehensive testing last summer and ultimately discovered a COPD diagnosis which explained so much of his breathing challenges. We were in Houston doing acupuncture treatments for neuropathy and visiting specialists like pulmonary and cardiology doctors when it became clear that there were more challenging times ahead.

Approximately one month ago, we brought Srila Maharaj to the hospital to address his developing pulmonary edema and preliminary congestive heart failure. In the 3 weeks of hospitalization, Srila Maharaj improved enough to move to a Rehabilitation facility. 

However, he developed kidney issues at the end of his hospital stay that were worrisome. Now the doctors in the rehab facility have identified an acute kidney injury which is causing intermittent dysfunction.

Śrīla Maharaj has spent 56 years (as of Earth Day April 22nd!) in the service of his beloved Śrīla Prabhupada. Giving up all material responsibilities he received sannyas from Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaj in 2008. 

From that time he's been reliant on donations as he traveled and preached. Due to his adverse health, he cannot continue his pracar seva for his Guru Varga like before and with mounting hospital expenses is left in a negative financial situation.

We're reaching out to the worldwide Vaishnava community who know and love "Uncle Bhagavat" for support during this difficult time.

Please consider donating to the GoFundMe or contacting us to get involved in supporting him in other ways. He also authored and published his first book last year. For those who would like to support him by purchasing it, the link is HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Souls-Journey.../dp/B0F327WCM8...

#SupportSrilaMaharaj #VaishnavaCare

PADA: OK I feel bad for the guy, honest. At the same time, we were all told not to take disciples because we cannot absorb sins. And if we do take sins, we have to suffer. And they are suffering left and right. 

It is not possible for a conditioned soul to absorb sins from another conditioned soul. That is not the process, but BV Narayan Maharaja was rubber stamping the GBC as gurus and many of his own people, because he has no idea what the process is. And it is creating a lot of suffering, which is undue in our opinion. Never mind all the children who suffered Auschwitz for kids under Narayan Maharaja's anointed messiahs.

All that being said, we wish him the best and hope some help can be given to him. He also needs a lot of mental help. "I am the next Jesus and I can absorb sins." This is the sign of a person who is not mentally well. Neither are all the other messiahs BV Narayan has been rubber stamping left and right. In any case, God speed sir, and lets hope Krishna gives you some sort of relief. 

He did help us with the poison issue, and he gets some credit for that. Overall, the devotee society has not made much of an arrangement for its seniors and elders, and unfortunately this type thing happens over and over. ys pd

STRI DHARMA

It Is Not Only the Wife Who Must Be Vedic

Strī-dharma — 12 Essential Conversations (Part 2 of 12)

Why men’s duties cannot remain invisible in any honest discussion of strī-dharma
A distorted social vision scrutinizes women endlessly while leaving men morally undefined. Dharma does not work that way.

We heard this anecdote: in Mayapur, someone holding a voluminous manuscript came up to Jayapataka Maharaja and proudly said: "Maharaja, we have compiled all the duties of women from the scriptures, from quotes… from everywhere. Everything about stri-dharma, the dharma of women, is in here!"

"Very good." Maharaja said, "Do you also have a compilation of duties for men? Do you have also that book?" The devotee said, "No Maharaja, we have only collected the duties of women." "Then," Maharaja said, "You can take this book and throw it in the Ganga. Unless you also bring a compilation of all the duties for men, you can throw this one away."

One of the clearest signs of imbalance in religious culture is this: women’s duties are collected, repeated, and analyzed in great detail (often through anachronistic and pathological lenses), while men’s duties remain vague, assumed, or conveniently ignored.

That is not balance. It is distortion.

A healthy vision of strī-dharma cannot be built by putting the entire moral burden on women while letting men move through the discussion with minimal accountability. Marriage and family life do not stand or fall on female adjustment alone. They depend on both sides, and especially on whether men understand their obligations toward the women in their care.

This is one of the strongest corrections needed in the whole discussion.

It challenges the tendency to gather all the scriptural expectations for women while leaving unanswered the equally important question: what about men? What about fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons? What about the moral duty to create an atmosphere in which women are respected, supported, and able to flourish?
A one-sided model in which there are endless demands upon women but very little is demanded from men is not simply unfair.

It is anti-dharmic in spirit.

It turns sacred order into a system of asymmetrical pressure. The wife is told to be patient, sweet, tolerant, loyal, modest, and service-minded. But if the husband is selfish, unstable, emotionally careless, or spiritually weak, then the whole system becomes deeply compromised. A family cannot be healthy if one side carries nearly all the pressure while the other enjoys nearly all the privilege.
Traditional sources also place clear obligations on men. Fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers-in-law are to ensure that the women in the family are respected, pleased, and cared for.

Families where women suffer because of male misconduct are described as heading toward ruin. Women are not to be insulted, neglected, or treated as spiritually irrelevant household assets.

This becomes even more important when we remember that women in Lord Caitanya’s mission are not spiritually secondary or socially ornamental. They can preach, teach, learn, organize, and contribute in substantial ways.

So a truly Vedic husband is not one who merely expects service. He is one who recognizes the dignity, service potential, and spiritual seriousness of the woman before him.

Whenever religious talk becomes preoccupied with regulating women while remaining strangely soft on men, something important has already been lost. The conversation may still sound scriptural, but its center of gravity has shifted away from truth and toward control.

If we want real dharma, men must become visible again in the moral picture. Not as abstract protectors, but as accountable human beings with responsibilities that are not optional.

It is not enough to ask whether women are doing their duty. We must also ask whether men are worthy of the trust they expect and demand.

PADA: YUP!
