Badrinarayan (Robert Morill) Departs / Ranjit Departs / Tariffs / BVKS 02 27 26

One of the world's leading living exponents of the ISKCON GBC's homosexual, pedophile and illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's club has departed. Many of Badri's friends and GBC associates are now crying in despair that a founder member of their anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's program has left his body. 

How will their program of contrived banning, assorted beatings, mass child molesting, various millions of dollar lawsuits and media scandals, and sometimes murders of dissenters -- continue on -- without his precious guidance?   

His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami Departs from this World 

in the Sacred land of Sri Vrindavan Dham - official GBC statement

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
We wish to inform the worldwide community of devotees that His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami left this world this evening, 26 February 2026, in Sri Vrindavan Dham. He passed away peacefully in his room after a brief illness.

Badrinarayan Maharaja, reknowned for his learning, frankness, humour and dedication was an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. He was born in 1952, met Srila Prabhupada in 1969, and moved into the Laguna Beach temple as a full-time devotee in 1970. 

He took initiation from Srila Prabhupada in 1971, was awarded the sannyasa order of life in 2014 and became an ISKCON diksa-guru in 2020. He is survived by his children, Anasuya and Nila Madhava, from his previous asrama.

The list of Maharaja’s glorious services to ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada are numerous: in the early days he served in St Louis and Detroit temples, undertook travelling sankirtana, and served as the temple president of ISKCON Ann Arbor and ISKCON San Diego, the latter remaining his home temple from 1978 to the present day. 

He was integral in setting up the first Child Protection Office in ISKCON. Most notably, his service during the Turley case will stand out as a lasting memory. In recent years he also undertook the austerity of travelling regularly to Myanmar, one of the most isolated yatras in ISKCON, to enthuse the devotees there.

From our perspective, Maharaja will be remembered most for his contribution as a GBC member, a service he performed since 1987 with zonal responsibilites in North America. 

Badrinarayan Swami also served as the chairman of ISKCON’s international GBC, was a member of the GBC Organizational Development Committee, among others, and the North American Regional Governing Body Executive Committee.

Despite failing health, including amputation of his toe, he risked his comfort to unfailingly attend the GBC meetings and fully contributed. Indeed he was to the end a strong supporter and defender of Srila Prabhupada’s GBC system and worked tirelessly to keep the GBC as the ultimate managing authority of ISKCON, as desired by Srila Prabhupada. 

To this end, he was the author and co-author of several invaluable GBC position and legacy papers such as:

A Concise Statement of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Siddhānta for the International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.

Formation & Role of the Bureau: Survey of Srila Prabhupada Disciples Engaged in Managerial Matters in India by His Divine Grace. 

Badrinarayan Swami was one of the most brilliant minds in ISKCON and he endured inconceivable challenges for the protection of ISKCON. Maharaja was a dutiful servant, a dedicated disciple, and one of the most outspoken guardians of Srila Prabhupada’s legacy. He served in a bold and uncompromising way. His managerial astuteness, impeccable sadhana, inspiring classes filled with memories of Srila Prabhupada, and exemplary devotion endeared him to many devotees.

We offer our deepest respect and gratitude to this stalwart son of Srila Prabhupada. May his example of service and surrender be a beacon for all of us. We especially offer our prayers for Maharaja's son, daughter, and disciples so that they may find shelter and comfort in the association of the holy names and Srila Prabhupada's books. We remain at your service at this most difficult time.

The GBC shall be eternally indebted to Badrinarayan Swami for his innumerable services to ISKCON. Thank you, Badrinarayan Swami, for the many years of association. We will miss your uplifting association, wit, and candour. 

That Maharaja was fortunate enough to circumstantially depart this material world in Lord Krishna’s own abode of Vrindavan is a final testament to the mercy he has received from Srila Prabhupada, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and Lord Krishna Himself.

His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami Maharaj ki jai!
Srila Prabhupada ki jai!
Ananta koti vaisnava vrinda ki jai!

PADA: When I was in Los Angeles helping promote the $400,000,000 Dallas child abuse lawsuit, by helping children victims get signed on, the ISKCON leaders would all gaggle together on the Watseka sidewalk -- chatting with their lawyers. Badrinarayan (Robert Morill) was one of those leaders. 

And they would ALL give me snarky looks, vulture glares, and intense vibes like "oh no -- it is the guy who is exposing our pedophile messiah's program over here on Watseka, and he is helping victims sign on to sue us." They saw me riding around on my bike all the time, and really avoided talking to me, or even acknowledging my presence. 

But we could see from their vulture glares, they were not happy to see a Vaishnava. And Srila Prabhupada says -- a person who glares at a Vaishnava has to take birth as a vulture, and glare at others in that body. OK Badri was one of the glaring vultures.

The Los Angeles police would stop me on my bike and tell me, "Hey you, stupid head, stay away from Watseka, these (Badri's enforcers) people hate your guts, and THEY WANT TO KILL YOU, and they will kill you if they can." So this is the type of mood that Badri likes to create for his non-pedophile messiah promoting God brothers. "Kill em!" 

Yup. Anyone who opposes Badri's promoting his program of worship of illicit sex with men, women and children -- as God's messiahs -- needs to be banned, beaten, sued, and maybe -- killed. Otherwise, how will we have little children worshiping our GBC gurus (such as Kirtanananda's former henchman Radhanath) and their annointed homosexual and pedophile samadhi in Vrndavana? 

My friends who live in Vrndavana are MORTIFIED at the bogus samadhis ISKCON is making there, including one for Badri's favorite porno guru swami pal -- Gunagrahi, who was hanging out in San Diego -- and watching porno -- while posing as a messiah from Vaikuntha. 

Yep! Anyone who is not in favor of having their children worship Badri's illicit sex with men, women and children as messiahs project, porno swamis etc., has to be removed from ISKCON. "Get rid of em, kill em." Especially if the God brothers want people to worship pure devotees and not Badri's drunk and debauchee and pedophile / porno messiahs. 

As soon as Badri sees that little children are worshiping a pure devotee -- and not his homosexual, pedophile, drunk and debauchee messiahs, he is infuriated. Worshipers of a pure devotee must be stopped! Or even -- killed. Otherwise, children will not be worshiping our illicit sex guru parampara -- which recently was advertised by followers of one of Badri's pedophile gurus as "giving out the keys to Krishna loka." Pedos have the keys to heaven? Say what?  

The dissenters to Badri's pedophile messiahs have to be removed from ISKCON. So Badri is one of the foremost leaders and defenders of his "anal reconstructive surgery epidemic for boys messiah's program," And he finds that people who worship pure devotees and not his anal sex epidemic program are "bogus ritviks."  

So Badri was one of the people who supported the regime which murdered Sulochana and wanted to murder me. All because? We objected to Badri's: illicit sex with men, women and children / homosexual / pedophile / drunk and disorderly / LSD is Radha's feet dust / machine gun swami / Vodka pada / anal reconstructive surgery epidemic / porno swami -- [ETC.] "messiahs from Vaikuntha" project. Who have the keys to Vaikuntha's gates! 

Yep, Krishna's messiah successors are behaving worse than the drunks here on Market Street, but they are still past or present "links in a chain of successors from God." And all of the above voted in more messiahs, OK like Badri! "I was certified as a messiah by the -- anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiahs club." OH swell! 

Now some people have given their opinions of what happens to these people in the next life. For example, one ex-child victim told me -- these guys (you mean like Badri?) will be held upside down by the Yamadutta's, who will spread eagle their legs apart, and place red hot pokers into their butts, so they will know what we felt like, as happened to us under the (Badri) leadership. OK yep, that is a distinct possibility, cannot argue with that. But why would anyone even think that is what is going to happen to "a guru"? A holder of the keys to heaven no less? 

Lets just say there are a lot of people thinking these guys are going down to the lower regions, to fulfill the prophecy of the Sri Isopanisad, false gurus go to the most obnoxious regions. Add to that, all the banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing they created for the other Vaishnavas. And yah, they are going down whether we curse them or don't curse them, they are cursed by their own self made situations. 

In other words, a regular semi-good guy bogus guru MUST go to the lower regions. Whereas criminals who orchestrate Krishna's children to be starved, beaten, and forced into Badri's program's of orchestrated "Auschwitz for kids" (as one victim describes Badri's Mayapur), are worse than regular bad gurus. 

Their program tortures and torments Krishna's children, and bans, beats, molests, sues and kills Vaishnavas, and promotes homosexuals and pedophiles and other deviants as God's successor acharyas, and buries homosexuals and pedophiles in samadhis etc. They are way worse than a regular bogus guru. Another victim told me -- he prays every day that all of these people die soon, and go to hell, to reduce their burden on the earth. Well yup.   

Spiritual name: Badrinarayan Dās

Legal name: Robert Morrill (documented in court filings)

Role: Long‑time ISKCON leader, later a GBC member (joined in 1987).

Yep. After they got rid of Sulochana, and I was saved by the FEDs, Badri became one of the "reformers" -- except he was a carbon copy of Ramesvara, saying that acharyas are often fallen deviants. And then they annointed most of the New Vrndavana former henchmen, who helped promote their homosexual and pedophile acharya, and who helped get rid of Sulochana, and almost got rid of me, as the next wave of leaders -- like Radhanath et al. 

And then they buried their favorite homosexual and pedophile guru in a samadhi. Sulochana called Kirtanananda "Oral sex with boys pada." So life would not be perfect if Badri's program could not have little children go and worship his samadhi!  

Location in early years: San Diego temple president in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Ramesvara's zone, and Ramesvara was "dating" a young female and this was publicly reported, and we published the report. And nothing was done by Badri's program to fix that. That female victim still suffers a lot NOW. 

The San Diego Reader article confirms that Robert Morrill was temple president in 1979 and living near the Pacific Beach temple.

Why the name appears in legal documents

The 2004 Long Island court case shows:

He submitted evidence as “Badrinarayan das (Robert Morrill)”

This is one of the clearest public records linking the spiritual and legal names.

This is why the name “Badrinarayan Morril(l)” circulates online — it’s simply the combination of his spiritual and legal identities.

 

PADA: Yeah we are very grateful for the memories -- of all the vulture death stares and glares, death threats, and even FBI thwarted death attempts on my life. I would now be dead without help from the FBI, thanks to Badri painting us non-homosexual and pedophile messiahs club members as dangerous deviants.  

I am also grateful to all the gurukula children who helped us with the (two) child abuse lawsuits to sue Badri's pedophile messiahs club. And I am grateful for the victims trusting me with their horror stories so they could help us expose how the Badri program treats small children, by making an Auschwitz concentration style death camp for children. Which causes more than a few victims to suicide themselves to they will not have to look at the faces of their tormentors such as Badri and co.

We know from all these victims how Badri's program treats children, first of all, frog marching children into a temple room with a homosexual pedophile sitting on Badri's programs golden Vyasa seat for those kids to worship. We also know how Badri's program wants to have us killed when we think this is an obnoxious deviation and is corrupting the morals of minors, forcing children to worship pedophiles as their messiahs. 

"Badri has affection for children"? What children? And that is why he wants little children to have affection for his homosexual and pedophile guru pals -- and have children worship those deviants as God's successors on big golden seats, and in samadhis later on. Badri's program wants children to have affection for, and even worship of, homosexuals and pedophiles as acharyas so they can CONTAMINATE those children. And DESTROY their spiritual and often material lives.

As one media person told me, "if adults (like Badri) like to see people worshiping their illicit sex with men, women and children, homosexuals, pedophiles and drunks as messiahs project, why have they not made that an "adults only" religion, but rather they force little kids to worship their deviant pedophile and sex fiend messiahs? They are going to "f*ck up the brains" of little children by forcing them to worship their pedophile messiah friends." Well yup.   

OK! Badri wants anyone who does not promote his deviants as acharyas project to be banned, beaten, sued and -- killed, all so he can make his nice Auchwitz for kids program for ISKCON, which his program has done. Did I forget to mention, i know some children victims who are doing the happy dance each time one of them departs. Too bad they went on this long! Yup. 

Yeah Badri helped the Windle Turley lawsuit, to attack the children victims. It is what they always do, attack the victims, and attack us for defending the victims. Badri's people were calling the victims "greedy gurukulis who want to steal ISKCON's money."

Alas. Now he is gone. Well good luck in your future, but I do not see how the people whose program place homosexuals and pedophiles in Vyasa seats to be worshiped as good as God have any sort of bright future, OK they won't. 

And there is nothing on God's green earth anyone can do to save a person who makes children worship predators as good as God. They are doomed, and so are their supporters. 

There is good news! Badri can now be buried in samadhi next to his homosexual, pedophile and porno swami pals in the dham. They will make a good team for us to dig up later and remove their carcasses, which a number of people tell me will eventually happen! Dug up, and tossed into a stool pit, and I believe that will happen eventually. People tell PADA that all the time, we need to dig up these bogus samadhis and place the remnants in a stool pit, and that day will come.

26 February 2026

Our dear friend and former archivist Ranjit Prabhu passed away yesterday at the age of 81. He served at the Bhaktivedanta Archives from the late eighties to the mid two thousands before moving to Alachua. Originally from South Africa, he came to the United States and served with ITV before joining the Bhaktivedanta Archives.

Ranjit always took the time to converse and bring devotional service into the conversation. He will not only be missed by his wife, daughter, and stepson but by all of us here at the Archives.

TARIFFS 

PADA: OK so far the amount of tariffs "collected from foreign countries" is $000.00, OK zero dollars, because foreign countries do not pay the tariffs. The tariffs are paid by the USA importers -- and the cost is forwarded over to the USA citizens who pay more for their goods. That is why the cost of the cheap bike in Walmart went from $98 to $188, and the extra price is paid by USA citizens and not China.   

At the same time, the tariffs have caused foreign nations to cancel buying USA products -- which has cancelled and choked off selling USA airplanes, wine, bourbon, farm produce and many other products -- which is bankrupting small and large business, and hundreds of farms. And many small importers went bankrupted because they could not pay the tariff and their goods were frozen in customs. They had to lay off workers. Again, the people who are losing money i.e. paying for all that -- are the USA citizens, not China.

The argument not to cancell the tariffs at the Supreme Court was, this has gone on too long and it will be hard to repay all the tariff fees back. OK that means you guys waited forever, and did not rule on it right away, day one, and you allowed it to become a mess "for too long." OK you are the guys who caused this to go on too long. 

Anyway, the looks on the faces on the Supreme Court guys at the President's speech looked very sad and worried. Someone said "they are gradually realizing they have produced a tariff nightmare for the USA, there will just be more tariff chaos going on forever because they are not making clear rulings." 

At the same time, IF the citizens have to pay the tariff, and then not have to pay income tax, that just means we replaced one tax with another tax, it has not produced any wealth for the citizens or the USA. I am taxing you here, to cancel taxing you there, is just moving around in a circle and going nowhere. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

Analysis of HD Goswami's reply to Bhakti Vikasa Swami

— Fallacies Behind a Valid Principle Hridayananda Goswami argues that for more than a thousand years, the history of Vaishnavism has been a constant struggle between two forces: the Vaishnavas, who give full spiritual access to all based on devotion, and the smartas, who restrict that access based on At Birth and Body Type.

Ramanuja opened temples to women and non-brahmins. Chaitanya initiated Haridasa Thakura, born Muslim. Bhaktisiddhanta gave Brahmin initiation to women challenging Kolkata councils. Prabhupada gave second initiation to women and authorized them to worship deities.

Each of these Acharyas faced the same opposition: Orthodox Brahmins who insisted that birth determines spiritual qualification. And every time, the Vaishnavas prevailed.

HD Goswami claims that certain ISKCON leaders opposing women being diksha gurus are exactly repeating the role of those historic smartas. Directly refer to Bhakti Vikasa Swami as the exponent of this position, calling him "representative of the traditional enemies of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas." 

His conclusion is that if Prabhupada gave second initiation to women and never said it should stop doing it, there is no shastric basis to deny them the next step: to be gurus who initiate his own disciples.

However, to reach that conclusion, he makes several logical leaps and fallacies:
First, a fallacy of analogy. Establish that historical smartas opposed all spiritual participation of non-Brahmins, and then equates that position with those today specifically questioning the role of diksha guru for women. But they are categorically different situations: Smartas denied that a shudra could even chant a mantra; current opponents at ISKCON accept that women receive initiation, worship deities, preach and teach — they only question a specific institutional role. 

Equalizing both positions is like saying that who questions whether a doctor should operate without a license is the same as who doesn't want women to study medicine.

Secondly, a conflict of three different levels. It flows fluently between women receiving second initiation, women performing puja, and women being diksha gurus who initiate their own disciples, as if they were the same. Prabhupada clearly did the first and the second. The third is the real question of the debate, and by mixing it with the other two, it creates the impression that opposing the third equals opposing the three.

3rd, a selective performance by Prabhupada. It presents Prabhupada's position as an unconventional "yes" to the women guru, but omitted the key qualifier from the 1976 Toronto conversation where Prabhupda said "Yes... but not so many. Actually one who has attained the perfection, she can become a guru. "That ""but not so many"" indicates that Prabhupada saw it as something exceptional, not generalized." HD Goswami quotes only the part that suits him.

Fourth, an epistemological reversal. Proposes to resolve the question empirically: "If they think women can't be gurus, let them try and when they fail they will have proven their point." "This puts the empirical proof (pratyaksha) over the revealed scripture (shabda-pramana) as a method of decision. In Gaudiya epistemology, the shastra decides, not the experiment. It's like saying "let's see if it works" instead of asking "what does the shastra say?". "

And fifth, an internal contradiction: dismisses the tradition as “90% mundane karmakanda” to invalidate the arguments of its opponents, but simultaneously cites extensively the Vaishnava tradition — Ramanuja, Baladeva Vidyabhushana, Bhaktisiddhanta — as evidence for its own position. If tradition is not authoritative, it cannot use it as an argument; and if it is, it cannot selectively discard it.

In short, the fundamental philosophical principle is solid and siddhantic: bhakti transcends birth and body type (CC Madhya 8.128, SB 7.9.10). But the conclusions HD Goswami draws from that principle require logical leaps that the shastra does not give, sustained by emotional rhetoric, false analogy and partial selection of the words of the founder acharya.

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

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.

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?

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

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
