Re: A LETTER FROM VRINDAVANA 06 19 25
Where Are the Leaders?
This year (2025), I attended the 50th anniversary of the Shri Krishna-Balarama ISKCON center at Raman-Reti, Vrindavana. It was indeed very blissful to be among three generations of devotees engaged in spiritual activities. We had all come together to celebrate how Krishna consciousness has spread all over the world in the past half century, by the incredible spiritual potency of His Divine Grace Shrila Prabhupada.
Yet, among the congregation of blissful bhaktas, the absence of many of the so-called leaders of the Hare Krishna Movement was an obvious sore point. While the majority of GBC and swamis were a no-show, the devotees in attendance — the ones that the GBC and swamis consider their rank-and-filers — were blissfully on their own.
The GBC is still chained to a bleak period of ISKCON history when imitation “Prabhupadas” overthrew common sense and claimed to be “successor acharyas.” There has never been any serious atonement on their part, except for a few flaccid “Dear John emails” saying, “Sorry about that, folks.” In short, any member of the GBC, or any guru, or any minister rubber-stamped by them, remains ball-and-chain attached to a gurgling cesspool of rotten karma for which there has never been proper prayaschitta by ISKCON leadership.
Anyone who joins a gang or criminal organization immediately becomes susceptible to, and liable for, the group’s bad karma. The predictable GBC response to their past sins that still sits like dust under their carpet has always been secrecy and seclusion. They hide themselves away in their regular meetings in fear that the dust they created might make itself known. They are like a secret society that bands behind a smokescreen of joyful-sounding interfaith rubbish meant to placate the ignorant public and keep genuine thinkers at bay.
Considering all these factors, it is no wonder that ISKCON’s “leaders” did not show their faces for the festivities. Their show-bottle guru pretension can no longer be hidden. Literally, thousands of members of ISKCON’s are clamoring for restoration to the way that Prabhupada designed his movement. Even if the awakening devotees are too polite to directly confront the guru hijackers and the GBC’s rubber stampees, the clownish imitation acharyas know exactly what everyone thinks of their behavior.
At the Krishna-Balarama 50th festival, as I chanted my daily quota of rounds at Shrila Prabhupada’s samadhi, it was almost as if I could hear the thoughts of His Divine Grace emanating from the shrine. Was it my imagination, or was I hearing the Founder-Acharya? Some of the thought that came to me were:
* How could men who pose as successor acharyas become rapists of children as soon as no one was looking? And even after the guru and swami pedophiles bankrupted ISKCON in the Turley Lawsuit, how is that child molestation was still allowed to continue in ISKCON gurukulas for decades?
* How is it that thousands of worthy preacher-disciples were kicked out of the ashrams after they had given up their very lives to the spiritual master? Why were so many devotees either removed, beaten, or even killed, to keep them from exposing the truth about GBC corruption?
* When will the “millionaire swamis” give up their huge bank balances and learn to rely on Krishna alone?
* Why is the GBC allowing Kali-yuga Mayavadi “swamis” to be glorified in books written by a GBC member to be sold in over a dozen languages in ISKCON centers? Why is the GBC publishing a book about the Bible’s Old Testament? Do not Bhagavad-gita As It Is and Srimad-Bhagavatam have enough information?
In short, although I found the 50th anniversary celebration at ISKCON Vrindavana blissful, I have returned home sadder but wiser. Since it is well known that ISKCON’s GBC members clandestinely read the messages from the A.I.S.F., I am hoping that they will consider these thoughts and bring the society they pretend to lead back on track again, because an objective look at ISKCON management reveals a cesspool of corruption.

Trivrikrama Swami's "Back to Auschwitz" project 06 17 25
TRIVRIKRAMA SWAMI COMMENTS
AB Dasi: PRABHUPADA EXPLAINED THAT HAVING SEX WITH YOUR DISCIPLES IS SAME AS PEDOPHILIA.
jihvā-vegam udaropastha-vegam etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ sarvām apīmāḿ pṛthivīḿ sa śiṣyāt.
SYNONYMS
vācaḥ — of speech; vegam — urge; manasaḥ — of the mind; krodha — of anger; vegam — urge; jihvā — of the tongue; vegam — urge; udara-upastha — of the belly and genitals; vegam — urge; etān — these; vegān — urges; yaḥ — whoever; viṣaheta — can tolerate; dhīraḥ — sober; sarvām — all; api — certainly; imām — this; pṛthivīm — world; saḥ — that personality; śiṣyāt — can make disciples.
TRANSLATION
A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind's demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world.
PURPORT
In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (6.1.9-10) Parīkṣit Mahārāja placed a number of intelligent questions before Śukadeva Gosvāmī. One of these questions was: "Why do people undergo atonement if they cannot control their senses?" For instance, a thief may know perfectly well that he may be arrested for his stealing, and he may actually even see a thief arrested by the police, yet he continues to steal.
AMD: Was it the first time in such advanced age? Or was he noodling all the time and just got caught now?
PT: Surely this is not the first time! Their whole guru system is a sham.
AMD: I think sannnyasis should not be allowed to be Gurus anymore have bank accounts and independent life.They can give lectures, seminars and chant all day.
J Das: I think he's eating out something besides dysfunctional committees!
KD: Hare Krishna & Dandavats Dear Devotees, Srila Prabhupada & His Well-Wisher's Ki Jai!
Prabhupada admitted it in 1977, "no more sannayasa clan" but who can refuse to give up all perks? Surround yourself with young women, money, and glory ... such a party! Iskcon is a fake movement lead by hypicrates. And rejected by Lord Chaitanya.
Start chanting 64 rounds and more and FIRST clean yr heart from disgusting material desires. Obtain the blessings of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's association FIRST.
PADA: Yeah when Trivrikrama swami saw me at Rathayatra he said "Holy F**k sakes, are you still walking around the planet and are not six feet under already"? Yeah nice to see you too maharaja. He was following Sulochana everywhere in LA and Sulochana told me, this guy is stalking me to identify my location.
PADA: Prabhupāda: ...This is the poison, illicit sex, and this poison will kill everything. This is the poison. And I cannot understand whether I shall be able to save my disciples from this poison. This is the poison. They do not take it seriously, but in the beginning I said, "No illicit sex." If you want, at all. These four principles, if they are not strictly followed, then he’s victimized forever---today or tomorrow. He should take little of his time, to save himself.
K Das: 1% is untouchable and in charge -- 5% are co-dependence and protect the 1% -- 90% are blind and brainwashed -- 4% have seen the truth and trying to wake up the 90% -- but the the 5% are preventing the 4% from waking up the 90%.
We may have to go at the ocean and pray for the lord to come to remove this huge sinful burden of the earth. All glories to srila prabhupada.
CB: Funny thing is I challenged Trivrikrama swami in the Alachua temple at the Sunday feast last year when my friend Jayananda asked him what should a disciple do if his guru falls. He replied to him that the disciple should seek out another guru. And so I spoke and said his answer was unsatisfactory and he that he was encouraging people to play Russian Roulette with their spiritual life.
KKD: GBC = Gamble GooRoo business 101. Keep the Laxmi flowing in their direction. The GooRoo business = jet set red carpet treatment. Easy street life style. No tapasya. Tapasya is needed to advance spiritually. Srila Prabhupada's movement is NOW a criminal business enterprise, and will remain as such, unless Srila Prabhupada and His pure vani, instructions become everyone's daily meditation.
HDG recommends make your own field, nam hatta, preaching centers, online sat sanga. His Temples are dwindling into Hindu money grab. We rise up with His torch of knowledge and associate with each other, to print and distribute His original books. The PDA, Prabhupada's Disciples Association and HareKrishnaSociety.org is on the fast track in this exact service offering to HDG.

Letter from Poland to Trivrikrama swami 06 16 25
As I cannot comment under your post in comment section : shows 'only for team members'..
Decided to include here you copy of my letter just sent to Trivikrama :
Hare Krishna, here is Polish nama hatta devotee. I joined more than twenty years ago, I met former HH Trivikrama swami many times in Polska and had many darshans, spoke with Him many times, then exchanged emails.
Below goes my email sent to Him this morning:
"Of course we pray for you but you shocked us ... again!
Haribol I am very grateful for your years of preaching in Polska, despite your mindless surrender to "world pandemic" demoniac propaganda in 2020 which disappointed few of us very much, and you taking deadly p*isonous jab but now causes sharp rise of 'sudden' death cases around the world!
Despite your calling me crazy in an email for challenging you in this matter: I owe you a lot for your preaching in Poland! I am very thankful to you. We thought for years that you were saintly.
(First shock was your submissive attitude to fake pandemic propaganda).
Anyway your story about 83 years old sannyasi falling with female disciple (East European??) sounds hard to believe. But thank you for being honest anyway! Because few other well known sannyasis travel with female companions for years, they became a laughing stock for ISKCON a long time ago already!
Spanish devotees suggested that you had some relationship previously with another woman before, now you have been finally caught?!? So you have had to admit?
Below link to article and their comment as well.
Sadly, it all sounds believable, so were you hiding something from us all this time?!? Because I was told you showed signs of dementia from last year, and now: sexual relationships?!? After Giriraja swami had supposed also dementia and sexual relationships. And now Niranjana saying he too is suffering mentally and cannot function, is there more to his story? And he has female secretary?
What kinda bad publicity this will make for ISKCON and already corrupted GBC? How can you claim to have reformed and fixed the problems, when you are the problems? You are making ISKCON more laughingstock ... and not rectified, so you are ruining the name of ISKCON. Again!
Found this two days ago, please read, yes you must read it, maybe these are only gossip about you already breaking your vows earlier :

Niranjana Swami Health / Harinamamrta Das 06 15 25
H. H. Niranjana Swami
Health Update
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I believe it is an appropriate time to provide an update on my current health situation. I am writing from Hungary. I was supposed to stay longer in the clinic in India, but the heat and humidity made it too difficult for me to continue the treatment.
In the early part of last year, I explained in a blog post the source of stress I was experiencing back then, albeit with some details, but not all of them. The fact is that the war in Ukraine, its impact on devotees over the first two years of the war, and the fact that the war still continues, have taken a toll on my health. When it comes to helping devotees, most godbrothers who know me well know that by nature, I tend to take on more than my nerves can handle.
Last year, my digestive and nervous systems were adversely affected. As I wrote in my blog, it got to the point where I couldn't sleep. Although it was not so much emphasized, I also had trouble digesting.
Currently, sleep, rest, and complete withdrawal from all sources of stress, both apparent and those which may not be so apparent, are essential components of the treatment. I did this last spring and summer. My health improved later last year. But then I relapsed earlier this year, due to my own negligence.
Here in Hungary, my sleep is gradually improving. From a past experience, I know it takes time. In 2006, the GBC granted me a one-year leave of absence due to stress-related events. It took two years to recover. I also stopped initiating for almost three years.
Meanwhile, I try to keep my days structured as much as possible, balancing my daily activities between those that are health-related and those that are naturally more nourishing, such as kirtan, extra japa, and reading.
I have a strong desire to be a useful servant of Srila Prabhupada. I pray for this every day.
This brings me to another topic... the future. As soon as possible, I aim to reestablish connections with my dear friends and increase communications with those who are already disciples. I will try my best to introduce ways that will make this more apparent, but gradually. Regarding travel, I'm not thinking about that at the moment. In other words, this is clearly not the right time for me to accept more disciples.
Therefore, as I did in 2006, I wish to wait up to three years before even considering giving initiations again, unless I decide to stop giving initiations altogether before that. If that decision comes to pass, I would announce it immediately. The last initiations I gave were in February 2024.
Second initiations will need to be discussed, but definitely not this year. Additionally, initiations online were an exception for me during the pandemic.
I will now expand on this topic a bit further.
These instructions, as outlined in books, other writings, and thousands of lectures, are still available online. Of course, those instructions include the hundreds of instances when I've impressed on the need to study these same topics in Srila Prabhupada's books.
For now, I also wish to take this opportunity to thank all the devotees who have tolerated my lack of communication and have thus supported me in my efforts to become a more useful instrument in Srila Prabhupada's hands than I have been for the past year. I thought I had a clear plan for life after GBC when I resigned from the GBC last year. But Krsna has since shown me otherwise.
Hoping this meets you in good health.
Your well-wisher,

Trivrikrama Swami Falls From Sannyasa 06 13 24
TRIVIKRAMA Swami falls down ... shocking unexpected news !
12 June 2025
in that i engaged in sexual relationship with a woman disciple, starting earlier this year (..)
Yours sincerely
We are very far from trying to make it a kinda scandal or tabloid level sensation, because somebody in our team personally met devotees who knew Trivikrama for long time, His disciples. However, this is at least strange and totally unexpected information and will undoubtedly generate a shockwave in ISKCON.
As Srila Prabhupada personally said about him: “He will always go wherever I send him”. His Holiness Trivikrama Swami was initiated in 1966 by HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and given sannyasa initiation in 1971.
This American sannyasi travelled a lot, preached first in Asia, especially in Japan, Korea and then East Europe, Poland Ukraine Lithuania Belarus.
However, recently we found out that Puranjana Prabhu, His Godbrother and author of well known blog Krishna1008 , revealed some controversial information about Trivikrama's unkind behaviour towards Him during ratha yatra in the US some years ago. So was there an unknown face of Trivikrama Swami?
Hard to believe for those who knew Him. But anyway He must be respected for His longtime devotion to Srila Prabhupada mission and Lord Krishna, despite his faith in corrupted gbc and recent submission to jab propaganda (btw his dementia could be also accelerated).

Alachua ISKCON Promoting Bhakti Purushottama Swami 06 11 25
The allegations were confirmed by Anuttama das in a letter he wrote to the NA temples before BPS visited the USA.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BgMyDE1pr/
In his letter Anuttama stated that it is up to the discretion of each individual temple to decide whether to invite BPS. On one hand we are all entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. On the other it has been notoriously difficult to confirm child abuse allegation in India.
A man may be innocent until proven guilty, but would you invite such a man to look after your children unless or until he is convicted? Hopefully not. Taking into account that there are so many families and children in the Alachua community, I would like to ask Mother Mukhya if she would be willing to explain why she felt that it was respectful and considerate to invite another senior man who has allegations of child sexual abuse to speak at the temple?
How does this decision serve the best interest of the Alachua temple community? How does it contribute to create an environment where children are safe? From what I can see it doesn't. On the contrary it only reinforces the culture of tolerance and minimization of child abuse that has been plaguing ISKCON for 50 years.
The implications and optics of this decision do not look good for the Alachua community.
AP: A concerned mother messaged Mukhya and asked her to please not allow Bhakti Purishottam to give class on Sunday. Mukhya told her that the GBC hasn't made any reports against him and that the allegations were a few years ago. She completely dismissed the mother's concerns.
SRD: Anuttama sent that email to all the NA temple presidents, Mukhya cannot deny that she was aware of the allegations. The question is, why would she choose to invite someone like BPS as a guest speaker in the Alachua community???
AJ: ISKCON continues in complete denial about the overwhelming evidence of abuse of children by ISCKON leaders.
CM: I had to refrain from going to the temple last Sunday when I found out he was giving the main talk. I'm not sure how I would react to the presence of a known predator... giving class!
NS: Why are these people so adamant on being with the children!!!!!!
AJD: Ask HG Hansarupa Prabhu acbsp, he knows it all, and it's not nice.
RR: He is traveling with his home sex partner srihari das who has given writing that gbc has settled this matter with him
TD: !!!!!

Ukraine / ISKCON EC Writes / Trump - Musk Imbroglio 06 07 25
AD: Russia has just bombed the apartment building of my Ukrainian Godsister and her Vaishnava family, who reached out to me today for help, whose home and family have been personally attacked, and she and her family are being CENSORED FROM PUBLISHING PROOF OF THIS ATTACK. This is the proof of complete censorship of the government.
Russia is trying to dominate, subjugate, and ANNIHILATE the Ukrainian people.Donald Trump, what the hell are you doing? Why are you allowing this to occur as the TOP OFFICIAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the leading country of the entire WORLD? Are you just as corrupt as your buddy Victor Orban and his crooked cronies?
PADA: Yep, Russia tried to take out my Hindu nurse friend, they killed almost all the people in her hi-rise apartment building and levelled it. She only escaped injury because she was in a heavy duty bath tub, so the shrapnel did not pierce her.
She found mangled bodies all over when she went downstairs, kids toys, babies screaming, everything was bombed and many were dead and many were injured badly. Yes, Russia is indiscriminately killing women, children, babies, old people, pregnant women, in fact -- anyone who happens to be in a building when they bomb it.
But that is their whole technique all along in other places. Yeah, the USA ordered Ukraine to give up their nukes on the agreement we would protect them, and -- we didn't. In any case it is unfortunate that a number of the dead are devotees. It is not good karma to kill devotees even if they are very neophyte.
