ISKCON Navayogendra Swami's Misunderstandings

https://iskconleaders.com/nava-yogendra-swami/

PADA: Navayogendra swami has been saying that we need to get the mercy of Srimati Radharani to get to Krishna. OK partially correct. First of all, we need to get the mercy of a pure representative of Srimati Radharani, aka Krishna's pure devotee, and ONLY then do we get to serve Her through that channel, called technically the guru parampara chain.   

Unfortunately, the Navayogendra swami GBC "guru chain" contains "acharyas" who have established a program of -- anal sex, oral sex, homosex, heterosex, pedophile sex, pornography sex, and maybe sex with goats. I give up, how is his "chain of (debauchee) gurus" going to connect someone to Srimati Radharani? 

And is it not a severe aparadha to Srimati Radharani to claim that this contaminated chain of fools is going to connect people to Her? And wasn't this the first problem we had in 1978, when we asked "how can the guru pooja songs like 'Nikunya Yuno Rati Keli Siddha' (serving Radha Krishna) apply to 11 conditioned souls"?  And how come Navayogendra Swami is "2/3 show of hands voted in" to such a guru parampara? 

So it looks to us that Navayogendra swami is advising the general mass of public to be jumping over the guru parampara, and he is advising people to start to connect direct with Srimati Radharani without first being connected to the bona fide guru parampara, which is what Srila Prabhupada says is the proper process to connect with Radha Krishna. Anyway, now he is part of the Rathayatra dates imbroglio:

Dear Gopal Krishna Maharaj.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Gories to our beloved Gurudev Srila
Prabhupada, saviour of the whole world by spreading sanatana dharma all over
the world and who is very kind upon the fallen souls like myself.

I am in due receipt of your letter. I regret not picking up your phone as it
was in silent mode kept in my room and I generally don’t carry it with me
all the time.

Regarding the present Rathyatra crisis I would reiterate my stand that we as
followers of Srila Prabhupada should not submit to the whips and pressure of
some local Hindu radicals of Orissa and change our system of preaching
program set by Srila Prabhupada. How can you expect these so called
guardians of Puri temple who are fish eaters to understand the mood of Sri
Jagannath and H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada, a mahabhagwat and pure devotee of
Lord Jaggannath, who fulfilled the prediction of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. 

They were the ones who stopped foreign followers of Srila Prabhupada from
entering Jagannath temple and then Srila Prabhupada gave Lord Jagannath to
the whole world engaging everybody in his service . Prabhupada taught us to
depend on Krishna , follow the orders of spiritual master and stick to the
truth in all circumstances . Failing to do is a serious offence.

[PADA: Gopal Krishna helped Radhanath bury a known homosexual pedophile in a samadhi in the dham, and they also buried a porno watching swami in the dham. How is this "following Srila Prabhupada in all circumstances"?] 
Srila Prabhupada faced a similar threatening situation. I am quoting some
excerpts from Lilamrita:

"Naxalite terrorists threatened Prabhupada's life. These young Communist
terrorists, who had been active in Calcutta during Prabhupada's visit of
1970, had never disturbed him until now. Their tactic was to approach
prominent businessmen in their homes or on the street and coerce them into
cooperation with Naxalite political objectives. If a businessman refused,
the Naxalites would burn his home or place of business or even assassinate
him. The Naxalites, who were eager for all of Bengal to turn from their
religious traditions and embrace Communism, saw Prabhupada rekindling the
religious spirit in Calcutta. (Prabhupada was able to talk to them and calm them down into allowing his program).

Once we pay heed to these Hindu radicals who are envious of Srila Prabhupada,
their moral will get boosted and they will again and again object to our various preaching activity in the future. Why should we compromise? Iskcon as a whole should protest against such activity and try its level best to safe guard the teachings and instructions of Srila Prabhupada otherwise the whole institution will get weakened and loose credit in the society.

As a dutiful Prabhupada’s sannyasi I have expressed my opinion and voiced my
concern about the impending danger to the society. Personally I do not support at all, the idea of single day Rathyatra everywhere. Regarding Amritsar Rathyatra I have already told the Rathayatra committee and the temple authorities to do the needful in communion with Iskcon authorities.

Your servant

Nava yogendra Swami

Thank you maharaj for your wonderful reply .

Maharaj we have to also understand that Lord jagannath is happy with the
pandas seva. Even Sripad Ramanujacharya tried to find fault with the pandas
and the way Lord Jagannath is worshipped. But Lord was not happy with Sripad
Ramanujacharya. Lord jagannath belongs to puri and we have to respect the
customs and rituals they are following.

Srila Prabhupad said that we have to keep good relations with all our neighbours. We have to respect what the puri servants says and find out alternate methods and not argue on the age old traditions that the temple of lord Jagannath is following for thousands of years. 

There is no harm in celebrating our ratha yatras on the same day of puri yatra in july. In chennai when we went to take rath route permission the police commissioner asked me one question which I was taken aback. He asked how come you are celebration ratha yatra now in january .The actual ratha yatra in puri is in july. He said is it right to conduct ratha yatra on different time and not
follow puri dates. Some he came to know that many iskcon temples in big
cities like kolkata, ahmedabad etc conduct on the same day that of puri and
he asked me why chennai is doing on a different day.

Is it not an offense to lord. I didnt have a convincing answer to reply to him. I could have given him many answer that iskcon is conducting rathayatra on holidays so that every one gets chance to render service to the lord etc. By having Rathayatras on the same day even the public will appreciate us.

Like janmashtami or ganesh caturthi , christmas is celebrated on the same
day all over. So let us not argue or find fault with lord Jagannath sevaks in puri but instead conduct on the same day that of Puri. For public out reach and preaching we can always take gaur nitai deities for procession an also Srila Prabhupad murthi and do harinam on any day of the year.

I am sure many leaders in iskcon india would not agree to my point which I
have mentioned here .You may have other points to discuss. I humbly request all the leaders of ISKCON India to please consider this important decision to conduct our ratha yatras on the same day.

[PADA: Yes, why should we not follow the system that has already been established in India, while in India proper? For the USA, we are dependent on whenever we can get a city permit to conduct a festival, so naturally that will not be on the same day. In fact we get different dates even in the same city because they have to schedule Rathayatras in with many other competing programs in the USA. Of course in India there may be examples where the city will not give us the same Puri dates in India, that is an exception. 

However, we should try to follow the traditions in India when possible, for starters, to not foment agitation against ISKCON for no good reason. Now ISKCON is also going against many SAMPRADAYA scholars there who do not want to see women acharyas being voted into ISKCON. Again, we are creating agitation for no good reason. Anyway, its remarkable to me that Navayogendra would be voted into a debauchee guru program, then he would advise us on any topic. 

Even our worst criminals here in San Quentin know that a guru chain that contains -- anal sex, oral sex, homosex, heterosex, pedophile sex, pornography sex, and maybe sex with goats, is not a process that connects anyone to God. EVER! Why doesn't the GBC and their voted in messiahs know that too? If there is some compelling reason we need to change up the Rathayatra dates in India at this stage, what is it? ys pd
