Where Does the Responsibility Lie?
BY: MAHASRGNA DASA
During the 1980's-90's the 11 fell, fast forwarding twenty-five years brings another 40 "gurus" down, and now within a year Prabhavishnu and Mahanidhi prabhus have fallen. Loyalists to Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON have the right to question the authorities and ask them to fix this problem.
The GBC is the ultimate managing authority for his ISKCON, but only for as long as they're following His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada's instructions, directives and the words in his books. Once the GBC stops following any of the above 3 they are disqualified and not authorized to be a GBC, and should be rejected.
Since Prabhupada's departure, the GBC have been infiltrated by homosexuals, pedophiles, racketeers engaging in money laundering, former harlots, adulterers and devotees afflicted with different kinds of Kali Yuga's physical and mental diseases. And we're supposed to accept their degrees as Absolute Truths? I DON'T THINK SO!!!
While Srila Prabhupada was physically present, he disbanded the GBC two or three times because of their thinking themselves more intelligent, more qualified, and disobey ing his clear instructions. Reviewing historical judgment concludes that the GBC should be temporarily dissolved due to their disobedience of His Divine Grace.
Personally, I don't hold Prabhavishnu or Mahanidi prabhus responsible for their rascaldom because they are foolish conditioned souls who due to imperfections within their heart took advantage of simple souls who, more than likely, never read Srila Prabhupada's books. Because if they had read them, Prabhupada makes it crystal clear what the qualifications of a 'guru' pure devotee are, and judging with that criterion, the 100+ 'gurus' now functioning in Prabhupada's ISKCON don't have the authorized proficiency of a bona fide guru coming in disciplic succession.
It is the GBC and only the GBC that should be held accountable for the "gurus" falling and the simple souls who took shelter of them, scattered to the wind with hearts broken due to being hoodwinked by the charlatans. The GBC's standard line for giving their "no objection vote" is that, "we neither endorse or disqualify the guru", but if they didn't give their 'NOV', the deceivers wouldn't be able start the deception.
A thoughtful and investigative mind has only to review the GBC Resolutions for "gurus" dispensed over the last 23 years to see how their "winging it" has metamorphosed into some twisted absolute truth. Suspended gurus, gurus on probation, gurus falling down, coming back and initiating again, re-initiating and other speculations just to show how ludicrous and preposterous this spiritual society looks IN dealing with its' leaders.
The GBC really don't have a clue:
As stated in an official GBC paper in March 2013:
"Those who accept the service of diksha or siksha guru within ISKCON are mandated to be strict followers of the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, and, as long as they follow, they are acting on the liberated platform. Thus they may serve, as Srila Prabhupada ordered, as bonafide representatives of the Lord and the Guru Parampara and be a via medium of Their mercy. Yet it should be clearly understood that if such diksha or siksha gurus deviate from strictly following, they may fall down from their position."
Nowhere, and I mean nowhere in Srila Prabhupada's books, directives, audio or instructions has he ever "ordered" his disciples to become "diksha" gurus. Gurus yes, but never "diksha" gurus. This lie originated from the infamous 11 unbonafide "acaryas", which the GBC had to apologize for in the early 90's.
And, nowhere, and I mean nowhere in Srila Prabhupada's books, directives, audio or instructions does he say or insinuate that a bona fide diksa guru coming in disciplic succession in the parampara on a "liberated" platform can "fall down". They can't, don't nor have ever fallen down according to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. But due to Prabhupada having been reduced to "an author for hire" or grandfather of ISKCON, this madness continues.
Srila Prabhupada: Well, if he is bad, how can he become a guru? [Laughter.] How can iron become gold? Actually, a guru cannot be bad, for if someone is bad, he cannot be a guru. You cannot say "bad guru." That is a contradiction. What you have to do is simply try to understand what a genuine guru is. The definition of a genuine guru is that he is simply talking about God—that's all. If he's talking about some other nonsense, then he is not a guru. A guru cannot be bad. There is no question of a bad guru, any more than a red guru or a white guru. Guru means "genuine guru.
It's up to us, the rank and file devotees of ISKCON, to beseech and implore accountability for the actions or 'resolutions' the GBC take or make, because they not only affect our lives and the lives of the confused heartbroken 'disciples', but the lives of devotees for the next 10,000 years.
