Bogus ISKCON Astrologers?

Hari Bol,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Shyamasundara Dasa (an so called ISKCON Astrologer) was again proven false in this nice article:

I have some experience with this guy myself.

When I was suffering from a severe health problem, he told me to do fire sacrifices for $10,000 USD. I had remedies prescribed by him and they also cost about 10,000 (not dollars but Indian rupees) which was about US $150. 

And he didn't do the sacrifices he just prescribed. He said you have to find whoever you want to do them for you. If you can't find someone then he pointed me to the chief priest in Sri Rangam who charged me about 10,000 rupees = $150.

All this is totally ridiculous because for starters he never told me about the inexpensive / free remedies like Narayana Kavacha given by Srila Prabhupada in the SB!

Despite the fact that Srila Prabhupada was against astrology, hmm out of the hundreds of quotes by Prabhupada on astrology only 2-3 are negative. It is discussed in this article:

These ISKCON astrologers fool the innocent neophytes with their charlatan business.

Here is the proof Srila Prabhupada was against astrology:

I have experienced myself that the so called astrologers and Brahmanas of ISKCON are just cheating people and in Kali Yuga, you can not trust a Brahmana like in other Yugas. This is the lessons many devotees will have to learn, if they want to survive in this Kali Yuga and give up blind faith into the Brahmana class.

[PADA: Right, we know of ISKCON astrolgers giving very bad marriage advice as well, where the marriages were allegedly "perfect" from astrological point of view, but a disaster really! And some devotees were going to sue some of these astrologers for giving bad marriage advice at one point. Anyway, take astrologers -- with a grain of salt, heh heh heh. ys pd]
