Kumbha Mela Linked to Super spreader Event in India

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/30/kumbh-mela-how-a-superspreader-festival-seeded-covid-across-india?

PADA: Oh oh. Some of the sadhus who said cow urine would protect them, died of the virus. Other attempts, such as spreading cow dung, also did not seem to slow down things. Now they are contact tracing cases back to Kumbha Mela, where the pilgrims returned to their homes, and spread this illness around in their home area.

My friend who lives in India now says -- where he lives -- he smells death almost all the time. There are burning dead bodies, and perhaps dead bodies that are just buried in shallow graves, tossed into a river etc. -- randomly here and there. He reported that -- everywhere -- smells bad. 

It just smells better or worse in some areas, but it is impossible to avoid the smell altogether, even when eating, trying to take rest and etc. He worries that the virus is getting spread around even more in the wind -- by blowing the smell around it might also be carrying particles of the virus too, maybe that is the case.  

I could say this has been mis-handled there, at the same time, containing any problem in India is like wrestling an alligator, or maybe a dozen alligators. It is no easy task to get any large project coordinated there. I feel bad for the citizens who have to suffer to much grief and evidently -- the smell of death. This is obviously some kind of advance of Kali Yuga and unfortunately, the more Kali progresses, the more people have to suffer. 

The only good news is that here in California we have less cases, at least for the present time. My hospital worker friends say that there are hardly any people coming in sick. The citizens here have used prevention measures, and they are evidently working. In any case, India is a mess and I can only pray that things won't get too bad for our devotee associates and friends there. ys pd  

Rambhouru / Prithu Brinkman and "Auschwitz for kids"

Prithu das -- Orchestrating: 

"Auschwitz for kids"?

Fat as a hog -- while the kids had bones sticking out?

Chief Officer of Children's Gestapo Operations Unit.  

https://krishna1008.blogspot.com/2021/04/rambhoru-and-bogus-jesus-program.html

https://iskconleaders.com/rambhoru-mataji/

Karuna care program to heal:

 "Auschwitz trauma"

Without identifying the project's root creators?

While working hand in glove NOW with the project's root creators?

Still licking the Gestapo's boots?

Rambhoru Brinkman Dasi speaks about her "Guru" husband Prithu:  

"On numerous occasions, my youngest son, now 4, and I were stalked and attacked by local Brijbasis, while we traveled alone without the protection of a husband. My husband knew this, but he never attempted to protect us from these dangers by staying with us. He remained comfortably living in the temple compound. (...)

[PADA: There you have it folks. A person who does not protect women and children and evidently -- even his own family's women and children -- is the hand selected "guru" that the GBC selects as their new messiah. Wow! We found a guy who does not protect women and children, apparently even his own family's women and children, so lets make him the next "successor to God" on the planet, who only speaks as God dictates! 

So this is an insult to God, this guy is the successor to God, and he is a jerk. That makes God also a jerk, because the guru is shaksat hari -- same in quality to God. So the ISKCON GBC folks evidently find the worst jerk they can, and then claim he is "qualitatively identical to God." What could go wrong here pilgrims? And those of us who doubt these jerks are "equals to God," are being banned, beaten, sued and -- maybe assassinated. So it is enforced, and enforced violently, at least when push comes to shove. 

So we all have to be banned and suffer, or even die, so a jerk can sit in the seat of God's messiah. And then they claim they are diksha gurus, i.e. those who can absorb sins like Jesus. Yes, Prithu us another Jesus. And then we wonder why there is trauma in the kids involved in this process? And the ISKCON GBC does this over and over and over and over. And we are "offensive" if we complain about this problem?]

On several occasions my husband expressed his desire for me to fan him with a peacock fan and offer him arotik like a "real" Vedic woman should. When I refused to do this, he would become insulted. (...)

[PADA: Yep, as the ISKCON children are being starved, beaten, molested and sometimes forced to eat rotten food -- until they vomited -- then made to eat their own vomit -- these big guru guys have been eating big fancy feasts for themselves. And yelling at their disciples to get them the 500 rupee health drinks etc.

OK they were siphoning the money meant to care for the children -- to care for themselves. And they still are largely because -- many of the ex-victims tell us they are still not very welcome in ISKCON -- and thus they have little to zero use of the facility of ISKCON. 

Yet the fat cat gurus are still thriving on the assets of ISKCON. One victim said, notice how people like Prithu are big and fat slobs, while we had our bones sticking out and our teeth were falling out from lack of calcium. And Rambhouru still does not deal with the main root issue, these criminals, and their enablers and the assembled and assorted "conspiracy of silence" hand maidens, are the cause of the children's trauma?] 

I returned to Vrindavan to discover my son, Nila, living in the so-called care of my husband's disciples who had been instructed to beat and lock him in a room, should he not comply with their instructions. 

[PADA: There you have it folks. The GBC finds a guy who has his own children beaten and locked in a room, never mind how your children would be treated. And then they make that guy their next messiah of the Jagat, a person who can absorb sins like Jesus no less. And then they make pretend they do not know why there has been an epidemic of children being beaten, if not adding insult to injury -- also being starved and molested. And all the while, being forced to worship the abuser project's leaders as -- their gurus from heaven?

Their victims are being beaten for complaining about their situation. And we are also being banned, beaten, sued and maybe assassinated for complaining about this situation. Prithu self-evidently cannot care for children, maybe even his own, so he is made -- the guru for all of the ISKCON children to worship as their messiah? And he thinks he can absorb sins like Jesus, as a diksha guru, as do various people in the Bellevue Mental home? 

The children all have to view this jerk as their messiah. Then Rambhouru is part of the current "trauma healing team," which does not address the root issue -- that caused the trauma from square one, i.e. jerks were made into messiahs -- and then she and others enabled these jerks to be worshiped as God's successors -- to the peril of all of the children of that society. And she is still working hand in glove with the leaders of this anti-children and pro-abuser messiah's regime now.]

They did this several times. Before Nila ran away from the Gurukula for the last time, Prithu had personally beaten him and sent him back to school, feeling betrayed and unloved by his father. (...)

[PADA: Oh so the children are being beaten in the gurukula, and Prithu is also beating his own children -- for their failing to comply with his -- anal reconstructive surgery epidemic of children program -- aka gurukula program? Some of these children told me that the Prithu certified gurukula has been like "Auschwitz for kids" for them, and Prithu is evidently beating his own kids for their reluctance to surrender to Prithu's hell hole for children program? 

"You don't like my Auschwitz program, you tried to escape, then I will beat you to make you go back there." And then Rambhouru wants us to heal from the trauma, without identifying who caused all this trauma, i.e. the molester messiahs regime, and its members and leaders, and its biggest advocates aka people like Prithu, a program and regime which she is still promoting NOW.   

So this kid escapes Prithu's "anal reconstructive surgery epidemic for kids" program, that is reported by various victims to have been starving, beating and molesting ISKCON's kids, and Prithu beats his own kid to try to force him to go back there -- after he escapes Auschwitz for kids? And this is "a guru from Vaikuntha"? Then we wonder why the kids have trauma? Teaching children that abusive people are angels from Vaikuntha will give them trauma, and that process is still not being addressed.

Why was this none of this ever reported to the authorities? Children beaters need to go to jail, plain and simple. Now Rambhouru is working with GBC people to treat the trauma of ISKCON victims, but she has been part of the trauma-making process by her not making all this widely and publicly known from the get go, telling all the devotees to -- save their children -- from going into the same wood chipper, as happened to many other kids. 

She apparently knew this was an Auschwitz for kids process, again at least evidently, but did nothing public that we ever heard of to ring the alarm at the time. Nor did many other parents ring the alarm publicly. 

Same thing happened at the actual Auschwitz, many people around the neighboring area knew there were train loads of people being dumped there, and yet they said and did nothing substantial. She needs to identify the causes of the trauma before she can help others in any real way, and the cause is clear -- people like Prithu -- and those who enabled him. Yes, we saw the trains coming in, and so now we are going to work hand in glove with the same people who were orchestrating bringing in the trains, and call that trauma healing? Seriously folks?]

For years, we have been unsupported by ISKCON while my husband has gotten virtually a free ride. 

PADA: Heard about this in other instances. The family members of some of the leaders were treated badly while the leader was living like a Saudi Prince. So these messiahs from heaven do not take care of their family, why would they care for yours?]

His disciples have paid his air fare to places around the globe. He has slept in the best of facilities; eaten his choice of foodstuffs; spent months and months in some of the best vacation spots around the world recuperating from diseases, spending over $10,000 getting his teeth fixed or hiding out somewhere writing a book that mysteriously since 12 years never gets finished." (Letter from Rambhoru Devi Dasi, Wife of Prithu Das, October 24th, 2004)

[PADA: So this is the problem. The GBC makes these cruel, abusive and and self-absorbed people into their gurus, to the peril of even their own family, never mind your family. Anyway, she nails it, there are eating choice foodstuffs feast, while the children are eating rotten moldy oatmeal, because they stole the kids money and used it for themselves. 

These people are criminals and not gurus. Prithu's son was apparently saying these children are "burnt laddus" ... which is accurate, but fails to tell us who was turning up the heat on the stove to burn up the young and innocent children laddus, i.e. Prithu -- and his banning, beating, molesting, suing and assassinating guru project. 

Rambhouru wants to heal us from trauma, by not identifying the root cause people who made the trauma from square one, and the regime they orchestrated. Trauma cannot be relieved until we identify the root causes of the trauma, otherwise it persists and is not healed properly. We need to uproot trauma at root, and not chop here and there at a few external branches and make pretend that is helpful. That just covers up the issue and does not resolve it. 

Bhakti Vikas swami is right, these people never communicate with us, but the discussion is going on all around them anyway.

Any questions?

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

All glories to Śrīla Nava Yogendra Swami (NYS) Maharaj Ji.
All glories to the Saviour of the fallen souls, Śrīla Prabhupāda Ji
All glories to Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa Balarāma.
All glories to Śrī Śrī RādhāGolokānanda.

Dear Hanuman Das Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisance. Hope this meets you in good health and mindfulness. On the occasion of Narsimha Dev appearance day, I would like to offer you a question mark on your Sherlock Holmes type of activity; of whether it is exposing the truth or webbing an illusion; for your technique of using hearsays and photographs as tools / evidence have big limitations and loopholes for you and your audience which can led to serious offences in Spiritual life. 

[PADA: So when we see photos of Navayogendra swami's (i.e. his co-ISKCON leaders) program of pedophile swami's samadhi, and photos of their pornography swami's samadhi -- both in Vrindavan, that is hearsay evidence? And when we see photos and videos of ISKCON people aiding and abetting these bogus samadhi programs, that is not evidence? 

There are photos of some of ISKCON's leaders bowing to these samadhis, and Navayogendra is also advertised by them as a co-leader -- so he is part of that sabha. Why does Navayogendra promote the samadhi worship of sexual predators of boys and young men, as God's samadhi guru successors, by participating in their sabha? 

Meanwhile our friends in Vrndavan are disgusted and barfing every day, because they have to see these bogus samadhis in real life. Why are photos of pedophile samadhis not "proof" that Navayogendra's GBC folks are promoting pedophile worship in samadhis? Why aren't photos of Radhanath on all sorts of GBC web sites not proof that ISKCON promotes Kirtanananda's ex-henchmen as their current messiahs?

And the India ICC just now wrote a letter saying they want to keep their other pedophile "God's successor guru" -- aka Lokanath swami in the acharya's seat, being worshiped as good as God. So according to the GBC, at least much of it, pedophiles are fit to be worshiped as good as God, either now or later in samadhis. And Navayogendra swami is part of that system. Or what? 

First of all, why doesn't Navayogendra evidently know that homosexuals and / or pedophiles and / or pornography swamis / are not fit to be placed in samadhis in the HOLY DHAM, and / or worshiped as good as God; when this fact is ALREADY known to every high school child in the USA? He seems to have less brains that the average hamburger eating child of the USA, at least self-evidently, and yet he is posing as a spiritual person. Why? Why is he in this sabha?]   

You are quite honest in what you do but it can play against you or you can be played by people cleverer than you if you are not cautious enough to verify what you are publishing; for your publishing is damaging to the reputation/image of the sincere and the sensitivity of devotees’ sentiments.

[PADA: All of this has been verified over and over and over. The GBC started to have the children of ISKCON worshiping their "pedophiles as the children's acharyas" process. And now they are burying some of these pedophiles in samadhis and keeping them in the acharya's seat (like Lokanath) -- OK like they have done with their previous sexual predator messiahs who ALL had problems with their sexual predatory behaviors. 

This is a pattern, starting when they booted me out of ISKCON for objecting to Jayatirtha's predatory behaviors. There is plenty of evidence this has been going on all along. There is a lot of concern for damaging the reputation of the pedophile messiah's club members, but no concern that Krishna's name is being discredited by claiming pedophiles are His samadhi successors.] 

Upon seeing my Gurumaharaj and two of my own pictures (the obese man by the back in the demonstrative pics) on your page and after listening to your video, I felt it a duty to clarify you of how you are making a wrong trial. What is my qualification? I am a simple disciple of His Holiness, still full of anarthas but each time He has come to Mauritius, I would take leave from my job (Design and Tech Educator) and accompany His Holiness 24hrs/7days as the local relay between Maharaj Ji, His associates, His Indian guests and the management team of local Mauritians Godbrothers and God sisters. 

[PADA: So there is an illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara, which has only one good quality evidently, their messiahs are at least not having sex with the family goats. And there are many "God brothers and sisters" who support that process. Sorry, worship of the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara is not part of anything to do with GOD. 

Again, ask any hamburger eating high school kid if worship of illicit sex with men, women and children as "God's messiahs for children" is connected to God. Nope, connected to Satan maybe, but not God. Why are the hamburger eating children more advanced than Navayogendra and his God brothers and sisters project? "Proof" you say! Pretty much, every average high school kid already knows that worship of illicit sex with men, women and children has gone ten trillion miles away from God, and is sitting DOWN IN HELL at the bottom of the universe in the lowest hells. I knew that already when I was a teen ager?]

I am fed and stay by the door of His Holiness NYS room during His visit; I would be responsible of relaying communications, act as driver and also make sure that Maharaj and His Indian disciples/congregational guests have a good stay without any hurdles. Maharaj Ji has been coming to our small Island since 2004. He used to come at first with one assistant, then often along with His own group of Indian guests consisting of high calibre couples mostly such as army officials of J&K, lawyers, politicians, businessmen, and recently with His senior disciples – an entourage who are surrendered for many years under His shelter and mostly temple presidents in India. 

The goal of His Holiness is preaching programs day after day as per a schedule which are already set up before His arrival. His entourage helped Him in His preaching recently and if it is His guests from India, they attend the everyday mangal aratee and the evening local house / temple / tent programs. Maharaj Ji has at most one or two rest days during his two weeks visit. 

What I reproach Your Grace is that You have boiled down all the above preaching and devotional activities to only pinpoint the occasions when Her Grace Kunti Mataji travelled to Mauritius along with Her Spiritual Master in the same plane as a leverage to make claim that His Holiness NYS is wrong somewhere and that His Holiness as a Sannyasi should not travel with women. Where is His Holiness travelling with unmarried or married women? 

By placing local devotional program pictures on your webpage, you are trying to prove sannyasi travelling with unmarried women. Is this your good judgement? But do you know that Mataji travels Economy class along within a group of other
accompanying devotees while Maharaj Ji is traveling Business class in the same aeroplane? Do you know that when she came along with Guruji, she was accompanying Maharaj Ji’s VIP guests couples who came only on her arrangements to take association in Spiritual local programs as an act of patronage in order to help the orphanage she manages? 

Is it because she is not married, she cannot travel in the same plane as Maharaja Ji? In what century are you? She gave her own life to the movement, and this is your question of whether she is married in order to be able to travel in the same plane? Do you know that on other occasions she came accompanied with her now late mother because her own blood brother lives in Mauritius as a local national resident? Is the Mataji guilty of visiting her own family and acquaintances when her Spiritual Master is coming to Mauritius? 

Is she guilty because she seized the opportunity to travel along with Maharaj Ji in order to see her family and serve the local yatra at the same time? What
are you cooking with the 6000 km thing and that local say that she is wife of Maharaj Ji? Would Your Grace not correct someone ignorant if the person wrongly took your daughter to be your wife? If someone ignorant thought like that
about Mataji and Maharaj, now it is an embellishment for your website. I cannot even say bullshit but garbage of great speculation in order to create sensational publishing for your website. 

[PADA: Jayadvaita swami is a spokesman for the Navayogendra GBC, and JAS says their parampara contains illicit sex with men, women and possibly children. We are not making sensational statements, your folks are. How many people want to worship a chain of gurus from God that contains illicit sex with men, women and children? You are making people turn away from God, which is what Srila Prabhupada says is the business of the asura class of rascals.]

How cheap is this? How can you allow yourself to publish things without proper verification of source? How can you allow yourself to try to demean His Holiness’s

disciples such as Indranuja Das and Madhupriya Das as if you thought of them as zombies who would be blind to anything “not sannyasa”? They have had high education from prestigious institutions, first was a marine engineer and the other is a doctor by material educational qualification. If the disciples are blind, will the Indian guests be blind too?

[PADA: Where is the prestige of promoting an illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara? And how is this being done by the educated people, when any high school kid who eats hamburgers in the USA knows your illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara is bogus, sinful, and hellish. Your guru parampara has ZERO connection to Krishna's.]

Will the local devotees be blind too? You should understand that the local and Indian guests are all hindus by birth and know the culture; a mere slack of sannyasa standard would have been such a great outcry and great disturbance.

Why have Maharaj Ji’s disciples not leaved Him or protested at Iskcon level? You have been led by the path of the garden.

[PADA: Yep, some of my Vrndavana friends are astonished that PADA has to decry worship of pedophiles as acharyas, in samadhi no less, and most of the people of India are not helping us. One of the Brijabasis told me, you (PADA) are a better Hindu than all of these lot put together.]

By talking with a certain enthusiasm and a sort of sarcasm, you have implied many unholy things and have breached much etiquette. Sannyasis should not travel with matajis? Yes, You are right if they are side by side. What? Are you

implying that there should not be any women in the plane? Hilarious. If Her Grace is travelling in the same plane as Her Spiritual Master, then is it Sannyasi travelling with women? 

What are you saying? There is a big difference between travelling in the same plane and travelling with women. The entourage of Maharaj Ji have tried to enlighten you but you took down to it to showcase of Your mocking reading of what they wanted to convey without hearing.

Maharaj Ji travels in big groups; it is almost impossible for matajis to approach Maharaj Ji. Her Grace Kunti Mataji also functions as a local leader in His Holiness NYS Yatra for Mauritius responsible for the empowerment of matajis aspiring
or already initiated, solving their problems with Spiritual life and guiding them in their services to Maharaj Ji during His visits. 

She also collects funds by begging from local people to donate for the orphanage in Udhampur. What wrong do you see Prabhu? If such a mataji is delivering on her effort to progress Prabhupāda’s mission, you associate her travelling to Mauritius as a means to degrade Her Spiritual Master because she travelled in the same plane and that she is not married? I see this as cruel and misogynistic on your part. I dare think that if I send You a picture of His Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda and some matajis pictured together with Him, along with a certain criticism, You will publish that too and wait for devotees to come and play barrister to defend Śrīla Prabhupāda against the claim. 

Why are You functioning at such a simplistic level of ignorance? What is your gain? How is it helping? You talk of personalities of whom you never met, and You have become the instrument of people who want to cause havoc. You have created a great damage to Yourself by creating a hocus pocus based on an email and some pictures and by being judgemental of the sincerity of devotees. Yes, you are right that the person who wrote the info email has right to question but do you know the latter’s credentials, background, intention and mental health?

Who are you?

[PADA: I am a person who is against Navayogendra and his illicit sex acharyas process. And rest assured, the Yamaduttas are on my same team.]

Who empowered you? You are also a mere human who has the propensity to be illusioned. Beware Prabhu! 

(S.B.7.1.18) 

You are putting to question the integrity of His Holiness NYS when Srila Prabhupada Himself classified HH NYS as a real brahmana. 

[PADA: What kind of brahmanas promote a program that has children worshiping pedophiles as their acharyas? What kind of brahmana can evidently be defeated by any hamburger eating high school kid?] 

You can’t be holier than the Pope. As a critic myself, I would request you to apologize and rectify. Forgive me for my tone, I am just trying to make you
understand the truth as you are a real bully drifting from being pragmatic to a puritanic mad revolutionary devotee who has only his own mind as association.

HARE KṚṢṆA. Your well-wisher: rasbihari das nys. (Mr. Ram Doyal) 

(TEL: +23054991008, Email: awe@live.com)

[PADA: Well we are in good company. All, at least probably almost all, of the high school kids agree that it is bogus to promote pedophiles as God's acharyas, and so do all the acharyas agree, and so do the Yamaduttas agree, and so on and so forth. It is good that Hanuman goes after their female secretary program, it is a problem, but there is a much larger problem here such as: promoting pedophiles as acharyas and then banning, beating, suing and killing some of those who object. And that is the process given by educated brahmanas? NOPE! 

If we are wrong on ANY OF THIS, please explain where and how? I also have friends in Mauritius -- and they say that the Prabhupada worshipers are not welcome at ISKCON -- but members of the illicit sex guru parampara are. What is up with that?

Bhakti Marg Swami Criticizes Srila Prabhupada's Books

[PADA: Another example of an "ISKCON Guru" who seems to have a grudge against Srila Prabhupada. And that pilgrims, is why he has been selected as one of their GBC gurus. ys pd]

Back To Prabhupada, Issue 67, Quotes Notes & News, Vol 3, 2020

In a podcast dated 10/6/20, GBC voted-in guru HH Bhaktimarga Swami ("BMS") has continued ISKCON's trend of minimising Srila Prabhupada's books, taking things to new depths of offense. All emphases added.

1) He states Srila Prabhupada's books are "embarrassing":

"they should consider, you know, the language adjustments, [...] anybody who's writing for a contemporary audience must look at those principles [...] otherwise it will be embarrassing to present books in such a way that are kind of outdated, language-wise."

2) He states Srila Prabhupada's books contain "dirty words":

"we say no ‘illicit sex', and I think a better terminology there would be no ‘casual sex'. [...] ‘Preach' is just like to me, I just want to block my ears, [...] talk about irrelevance [...] I mean somebody's just have to sit down in a back room and figure out what are the dirty words in ISKCON that we use [...] you could open almost any page and find something"

BMS also described Srila Prabhupada's word choice as:

"crass or harsh".

3) BMS continues his assault by saying that Srila Prabhupada's books require so much alteration that it actually becomes "translation":

"I do think that the translation is important and I think that if we want to be relevant to the world [...] we have to look at words that are going to be dear to people's hearts."

Thus, BMS criticises and suggests changes to Srila Prabhupada's words on the basis of making them more appealing to the public.

1) However, Srila Prabhupada was against this mentality of pandering to the public:

"I am not much fond of the idea of changing things to accommodate the public – better to change the public to accommodate us. Therefore I suggest wherever there is Sanskrit used there should also be English spelling in brackets. In this way, the public will become accustomed to Sanskrit language so that in future we may use only Sanskrit and they will understand."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 28/12/71)

2) Srila Prabhupada predicted that his words would inspire "ecstasy" in people's hearts and are ever fresh:

"Please continue to read the literature very attentively. Try to understand very soberly and you will feel ecstasy undoubtedly."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 7/12/69)

"We read the scriptures again and again and it is still fresh. When there is time I go on reading my own books."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 1/10/74)

It is bad enough that BMS has occupied Srila Prabhupada's position as diksa guru, which itself has blocked people from accessing the genuine path of Krishna Consciousness via Srila Prabhupada, yet he also insists on assaulting Srila Prabhupada's books – the gateway to accepting Srila Prabhupada as one's spiritual master directly. As shown, such criticism is entirely unnecessary as Srila Prabhupada's books are transcendental. Indeed, they are written by the Lord Himself:

"That is not my explanation, that is Krsna's explanation. I cannot explain now. That moment I could explain. That means Krsna's... I can understand that, that the description is very nicely given. Although it is my writing, but I know it is not my writing. It is Krsna's writing."

(Srila Prabhupada, Room Conversation, 4/9/76)

"Business Yoga" From Bhagavad Gita (?)

[PADA: This kind of thing is gradually taking over sectors of ISKCON. Evidently, the Hari nama samkirtan movement is transforming into the Business Yoga society. This is another sign things are not going well in GBC guru land. ys pd]      

Radhika's Story (RE: ISKCON's Sexual Predator Culture)

[PADA: Yep, don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Unfortunately, the pedophile agenda contaminated what was supposed to be ISKCON's baby's bath water -- to the point that -- the bath water was poisonous for many victims, and many of the spiritual babies were spiritually dying, and in some cases actually dying of suicide. 

And there is no real outreach to try to recover them now -- that we can see, or that many victims can see. Anyway we give this lady a lot of credit for having the courage and tenacity to speak up. Yep, begging the question, where are the brave men who are speaking out? Why so many ladies have to take to the front lines?

In sum! Bravo. ys pd]

Hanuman Croatia on "Pedophile Guru Tattva"

PADA: Hanuman Croatia is finally addressing the ISKCON "Pedophile Guru" problem. Goody! It is amazing  that in the 1980s when we started to say "homosexual guru" or "pedophile guru" and / or "homosexual pedophile guru" -- many people thought we had totally lost our minds. You are making "ooooh fence." Don't use these terms! However, as we see, more and more people are ALSO starting to use these SAME terms.  

He makes some good points here. 

*** Why are the victims having to make their own expose web sites? 

*** Why are none of the "senior people" advocating for this victim, or many other victims? 

*** Why is yet another person saying -- they want to live in a society where no pedophiles are the gurus? 

*** Why isn't the leadership cleaning this up, and instead an independent devotee has to bring this up? 

*** Why did Sanaka Rsi apologize for exposing the pedophile issue? 

*** Where is the leadership on this issue? 

Then he says, the internet has created a situation where ISKCON leaders no longer control the narrative nowadays. So it is no longer possible for them to "stop the criticizing." And because of all the propaganda about the molesting and so on, more people are waking up (albeit gradually).   

Meanwhile, someone else says they want to congratulate the GBC members who stood up against Lokanath "in private." Why are they only standing up -- in private? Why can't we make a public statement on the issue, should pedophiles be worshiped as gurus in ISKCON or not? Then Hanuman says that it is not just the leaders, but all of the rest of the people who went along with it. OK, and we would say, that includes Sridhar Swami, who was boosting the GBC's guru program, and he was voted into it.   

Anyway, he says more people are waking up, and that is a fact. ys pd 

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

PADA: Well it is simple really prabhu, some of the "new people" are -- the same people who are banning us, beating us, threatening to kill us, chasing us with baseball bats, suing us, and killing us, not sure why we would want more of that? Hee hee. As soon as they find a person who has been (for example) initiated by Kirtanananda, they fall at that persons feet and kiss his shoes, but as soon as they find out someone worships Prabhupada, they want to kill us. 

It is a pro-pedophile guru cult, simply stated. I am not sure why you are not able to see this point? What else can we add to make it more clear, they hate the worshipers of Prabhupada, and the love the worshipers of pedophiles, and that has been the case all along since 1978. 

And people like Patita Uddharana, Govinda Dasi, Jadurani, and / or many / most of the sannyasas etc. all went along with these deviations, and attacked us as "the bogus ritviks" -- because we failed to support their pedophile guru process and its hand maidens like Narayan Maharaja et al.

Satyavrata Web Site Exposing Lokanath Swami

https://satyavrata.wixsite.com/lokanathswami

[PADA: It is a little amazing to us at PADA that some ISKCON people keep telling us, we cannot make our dirty laundry public because this makes ISKCON look bad. Fine. So we should allow Krishna's devotees to be banned, beaten, molested, sued and assassinated -- and have no problem allowing that process to continue unchecked? 

That is going to make the Krishna society "look good"? Well maybe, but only to the gangsters of the planet. These Krishna guys have a really nice goonda gangster project going on here! Good job! Sorry, if victims do not go public, then more people become victims, because no one will see the red flags. Is that what we want?

Even Naranarayan / Sanat / Mukunda/ Prahlad / HKC Jaipur folks were crying buckets of tears when we exposed their pedophile messiahs project and its resultant suicide problem. They said we should allow their pedophile messiah's project to be worshiped as good as God -- unchecked by us -- and thus allow more children to become victims -- because not exposing this mess will make ISKCON look good. Ummm nope. Eventually we will have the News Headlines "Hare Krishna Children Suicide Epidemic." And that is going to make ISKCON "look good"? OK nope. In other words these people wanted to give ISKCON an even worse name. 

And now we have ISKCON leaders like Mahatma das complaining -- not only is PADA "creating controversy" -- but even Srila Prabhupada's books are "creating controversy." So this is the result of so many people going to sleep on these issues, and now victims have to make their web sites and complaint forums, because ISKCON leaders are not addressing the problems. Not only -- not -- addressing the problems, but creating a new wave of problems by wanting to re-write all the books etc. 

Anyway I hope people will encourage Satya and others with their complaints about the GBC. We need to give one another help and back up. PADA is one of the first people she contacted to publish her complaints, and we are glad to have been able to help her and other victims. 

Alachua looks like a real mess! They are in favor of ping pong swami Hrdayananada and his "Krishna West," while at the same time they want to follow the India ICC and support Lokanath. They are playing to all sides. Hee hee. Yes, we want to compromise with Kamsa, the Kauravas, and all the other asura princes, all at once! Hee hee. This is what happens when we open to door to compromise, we get more and more entangled in the webs and nests of lies upon lies. And then the victims have to make public complaints.

PADA is a controversy

Srila Prabhupada is another controversy.

First Hand Account: Virus Spread In India (Businessinsider)

[PADA: Wowsers, there are still some devotee out there telling me the virus problem does not exist, because the whole thing is "a hoax." Yes as a matter of fact, no one is dying because this is all "made up news" -- concocted by the USA's Democrat party to "make the leaders look bad." 

OK just like PADA has been "making up news" about the ISKCON GBC's banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and murders "to make the GBC look bad." Well -- nope. Pretty amazing really, that some folks still think all of these photos are "staged by actors" -- and this is all about "fake news." Ummm, maybe not? 

Sorry, India is getting hammered with severe karma. And this is what one PADA reader (a mother) says -- is because of all of the bogus swamis, yogis, avatars, and self made gurus there in INDIA -- it is making Krishna very angry. And when we add to that, allowing pedophile samadhis in the holy dham, then Krishna is maybe going to lower the boom on that society. Seems like a potential explanation? 

And now they are burying contaminated bodies on the river banks, which spreads the disease around all the more. Sorry, this is NOT a hoax pilgrims!

Chand Prasad (Biodynamic Theology) On "Killing for Krishna"

Chand Prasad: May 21, 2021: Dear Hrishikesh dasa,

Eleven Naked Emperors is an amazing achievement.

In a previous essay, I argued that ISKCON is basically a case study of the Iron Law of Oligarchy, articulated by Robert Michels. (available here: Killing For Krishna) My review of Eleven Naked Emperors shall not repeat those points. However, I will to some extent, suspend my deep disdain for ISKCON in the paragraphs that follow.

In my humble opinion, Henry Doktorski should have explicitly and forcefully explained how his book contributes to the existing literature on ISKCON. Such an explanation is a key ingredient to good marketing. ISKCON has been a subject of ongoing academic inquiry. What gaps exist in the literature? I personally feel that "Eleven Naked Emperors" makes important contributions. But more importantly, the author himself should explicitly point out the unique, original, or distinctive angles of his published work.

Henry Doktorski provides readers with an unsurpassed understanding of the power struggles within ISKCON. The internal dynamics that he so carefully documents must be placed in the following context — ISKCON still exists. ISKCON is an enduring, time-tested institution with a proven ability to withstand financial crises and negative publicity. Even with all of its self-inflicted problems, an undeniable, inescapable fact is -- that ISKCON persists.

[PADA: Yep, ISKCON exists, but in what form? It is now a small shell of its former self, and it has to make all sorts of compromises with the "Hindu congregation" whose financial contributions now support -- what is left of much of it. I do like the idea that the problems in ISKCON are "self inflicted." True dat! ISKCON temples have largely become "Hindu Cultural Centers" according to the analysis of many ex-members.]

Regarding negative publicity, sadly, many people have become desensitized to child abuse, in part because of the news coverage of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church makes ISKCON appear to be not so bad—former members who look forward to the downfall of ISKCON often do not consider this factor.

[PADA: ISKCON's downfall is not being noticed very much because it is sort of morphing into a Hindu process. Most of the previous programs, such as mass book distribution, preaching to the Westerners etc. is no longer emphasized or just barely exists. It has become and entirely different institution than set up originally by the founder.]

In my view, Eleven Naked Emperors did not adequately analyze or document the economic foundations of ISKCON. Although the history of ISKCON provides many lessons, it is also a tale of economic survival. However, in Doktorski’s defense, his intended objectives focused on how the emperors clashed with each other and rooted out dissenters. Moreover, ISKCON is hardly known for financial transparency.

[PADA: There are a lot of ex-devotees who believe most of the problems in ISKCON are rooted in the "economic warfare" the leaders made against the rank and file. Rank and file, the gurukula children etc. have been getting few resources, while a small elite cadre get the lions share of resources. Their "guru program" has basically been a smash and grab of the assets according to many accounts. There is ample evidence this has been the situation.]

ISKCON has not transcended the material realm. 

[PADA: Wow, there is an understatement if there ever was one.]

Analytical frameworks that were developed in such fields as political science, economics, and sociology can provide useful tools for understanding the history of ISKCON, predicting the future of the organization, and assessing the credibility of their public statements.

[PADA: When their biggest leaders like Jayadvaita swami declare that their guru parampara contains "illicit sex with men, women and possibly children," it does not even look like they are trying to become a credible organization. No spiritual organization ever says that their gurus are often debauchees, if they are attempting credibility. 

It looks like they are trying to make the institution look foolish, on purpose. Which is why there are so many people who believe these people are from the lower planets and they entered the movement, to destroy it, and on purpose.]

A key principle of geopolitics is that leaders, including ISKCON’s emperors, are constrained by reality. George Friedman, a geopolitical savant, uses a chess analogy. A novice chess player may believe he can choose from a wide range of various moves. 

In contrast, an experienced player is more capable of weighing the costs and benefits of alternatives—he knows that only a few good moves are available to him. To avoid defeat, he needs to find those relatively few good moves. Despite all of its boneheaded policies, ISKCON survived because it played enough good moves. I mean “good” in a Machiavellian, not moral sense.

[PADA: It is a Machiavellian styled organization, very true.] 

With binding constraints and relatively few good moves available, leaders eventually become somewhat predictable, unless of course, he is a chess master, in which case he can find brilliant, unexpected moves. Predictably, ISKCON gurus were subject to disciplinary action when they embarrassed the institution. A guru could avoid excommunication if he threatened to take his wealthy disciples out of ISKCON. Obviously, such threats were of no use when dealing with the police.

[PADA: Yep, we hear that over and over and over. We cannot get rid of this bogus guru or that one, because then he will leave and take his disciples away. OK but who gave him a license to take his own disciples, and thus potentially -- remove them from ISKCON? Currently that is the same problem with Lokanath swami. Yup, he is a bad apple, but if we remove him "this will disturb the whole program in India." Or to put this another way, "they are stuck on stupid."]

As the media publicized the institution’s abuses and “karmi” law enforcement authorities prosecuted ISKCON’s illegal fundraising activities, it became almost inevitable that ISKCON would seek greater integration with the local Hindu populations. Who else could ISKCON turn to for support? Also, ISKCON has historically defended itself by claiming that they are experiencing religious and cultural persecution. ISKCON would bolster its claims of persecution by seeking support from Indians.

[PADA: Classic bait and switch, we are in trouble, but not because we are a criminalized process, but because we are being persecuted. Very common cult technique.]

In my opinion, three of the most subtle actors were B. R. Sridhara, Ravindra Svarupa, and Radhanath. Maybe I am just being obtuse, but Eleven Naked Emperors did not leave me with an exact understanding of B. R. Sridhara’s motivations. Was he attempting to shape ISKCON in the image of the Gaudiya Math? Perhaps Doktorski could have directly asked Kailasa-Chandra dasa to explain the nature of B. R. Sridhara’s motivations.

[PADA: Except, Kailash Chandra agrees 100 percent with Sridhara Maharaja, we need to have stop worship of the original acharya and replace that worship with "the living successors." Ummm, problem being, these guys make the wrong people into God's alleged living successors.]

The Eleven Naked Emperors would have communicated more effectively if it had used visual aids or graphics. The author could have created a color-coded map showing the territory controlled by the zonal acharyas. Doktorski has a masterful understanding of ISKCON’s complex organizational dynamics. Given the large number of variables and moving parts, it might be helpful to see a series of flowcharts or schematics that depict shifting alliances, coalitions, and conflicts among key players. A timeline of major events would also be a useful addition to the book.

[PADA: That is a good idea. The "zonal acharya" wars could have been detailed better, but then again no one else is really collating this history very much.]

None of the comments given above detract significantly from the immense value of Doktorski’s contributions. Historians are indeed a valuable asset to humanity. I have the highest regard for the author’s thorough, painstaking research and his writing ability.

Doktorski kindly referred to Angela Burt. Doktorski mentioned that she is in good standing with ISKCON and therefore she has access to information that he does not. However, after reading one of Dr. Angela Burt’s summary papers, I realized she is a publicist or at least an apologist for ISKCON, which explains why she is in good standing with the cult. Although it is not clear to me that Doktorski is truly biased, I am quite certain that Dr. Burt lacks objectivity.

[PADA: We keep hearing this, well such and such is "in good standing" with the ISKCON GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara. Not sure why anyone would want to be -- in good standing -- along with that process?]

Mr. Doktorski accumulated his own powerful base of knowledge and he is not dependent on ISKCON. Academic scholars could, at the very least, diversify their sources of information by writing articles and books in collaboration with Doktorski. It is not possible to write a credible study of ISKCON’s history without making reference to Henry Doktorski’s published works.

I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope this letter finds you well.

Yours in the Service of Krishna,

Chand Prasad, Ph.D.

[PADA: History has to be understood -- so it is not repeated. The good news is, more people are looking at the history of these bogus gurus and are agreeing, their program is rotten top to bottom and needs to be rectified and reformed. ys pd]

New ISKCON "Hindu" Center in Naperville

 https://www.nctv17.com/news/construction-begins-on-new-hindu-temple/?

[PADA: Yep, I noticed that too, they are calling themselves "Hindus" more and more and more. All that! After Srila Prabhupada said, we should not become another Hindu program. Basically, they have fried out the name of ISKCON, so they had to steal the title of "Hindus" -- to hide behind their nomenclature. Almost no preaching to Western people is going on, as has been noted by our travelling reporters. 

The only good news is, some of these "Hindu" people are reading about all the "troubles" and they are agreeing with us to focus on Srila Prabhupada. One of the [Hindu?] ISKCON temple leaders in India has given himself the title of "Prabhupada's soldier," which is good news, they are no longer advertising as "GBC guru's soldiers." So anyway, this Hindu-ized process is what we were supposed to avoid doing in the West, and that is why they went head first into doing it. They are not following the orders of the acharya. 

At least some folks are finding our stuff, so we will continue to make progress in any case.

How Prabhupada's ISKCON Was Destroyed (Russian W/ Subtitles)

PADA: This is Abhimanyu das -- evidently still a disciple of Prabhavishnu das -- and at least according to reports -- still has sympathy for him. He was "appointed by Hansadutta as his BBT Trustee successor." Which seems like a prescription for more Hansadutta-ized chaos, this time from the grave. 

We do not think this has much actual legal standing or traction, because otherwise Hansadutta would have appointed a USA citizen to be his successor and to carry the rights forward here, which would then apply to other nations. Why would Hansadutta appoint a successor in Russia, and then have everything bogged down over there and dealing with Russian laws? A little baffling, but very typical of how Hansadutta operates. 

At the same time, much of what Abhimanyu complains about is correct. The GBC has destroyed ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada's legacy, and they are not following the corporate guidelines for ISKCON, and the BBT etc. So he seems to have at least some valid points. And yet he may not have realized that Hansadutta is not the best foundation to make one's legal stand upon -- against the world.  

It unfortunately does look like what happened is -- just like his photo image below itself -- i.e. like hell fire damnation -- has taken over ISKCON. The problem we have for starters is that Abhimanyu does not consult with the Prabhupadanugas in Russia, and he reportedly harasses them with legal threats. So it is another case of Hansadutta mucking up the gears -- even after he is not here anymore. He is not here to attack us direct, so he lives on in his "successor" to cause us headaches. Or what?  

People like them just do not consult very well with our folks, who are a little more well versed on these issues. Someone said to me recently, same problem with the Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur guys. They tend to "consult" with members of the Radhanath lover's club, or Bhavananda's pals like Hari Sauri -- and not consult any of the Prabhupadanugas. It is a problem. 

What does Prabhavishnu think of the changed books issue? Does anyone know? Of course, Hansadutta sometimes tells people to work with us, sometimes to not to work with us, so what can we do? In any case, we look forward to seeing how all of this evolves there. If anyone has updates, send to:

Narayan Maharaja's Successor "Gaudiya Sampradaya" List

[PADA: OK wait a minute? Narayan Maharaja said only his sannyasas will be his guru successors. Prem Prayojana was one of them previously, then he later got married. Gaura Govinda Maharaja was not part of the Narayan Maharaja group ever, except he said the NM people are right to challenge Srila Prabhupada's jeeva tattva, and to criticize Srila Prabhupada on other issues. Gaura Govinda Maharaja gave a sort of license to NM folks to attack the acharya because he said NM is correct on various issues (and therefore Srila Prabhupada is not). 

For example NM said that Srila Prabhupada should not place images of Lord Narasimgha in Radha Krishna temples because "it frightens away Srimati Radharani." And so on and so forth. So Gaura Govinda Maharaja thought NM is correct to criticize the acharya on various points. 

And of course NM is correct to be Tamal Krishna swami's chief bucket boy / advocate / defender -- for their illicit sex with men, women and children messiahs club, that is banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing the Vaishnavas. I think that what has been happening is -- the "guru parampara list from Krishna" has become a sort of "free for all" cat and dog fight. Anyone who can put their photo in a line after Krishna and various parampara acharyas, and gets away with it for awhile, can do so. 

And that is also why some GBC ilk are making some women into acharyas, because they too will get to have their photos on the altars during offerings etc. Pretty soon we have so many photos of so many acharyas, no one will be able to keep track of all the various "guru lines."

Meanwhile -- with all this watering down, people tend to forget, who are the actual acharyas listed in the parampara, and how rare, special and self realized they are. Did I forget to mention some of the followers of the NM sannyasa group are really opposed to Prem Prayojana, citing that since he is not a sannyasa, he should not be a guru? So they don't even accept each other as gurus. 

And Jadurani has become a sort of alleged peace deal broker in their camp to keep the infighting minimized. Why minimize it? Let them fight it out, the sannyasa guru camp vs the householder guru camp. Anyway all this is very unfortunate, it does appear as though the flood gates for all sorts of acharya wanna-bes has been opened. 

The only good news is, Prem Prayojana is more of a gentlemanly type guy than a lot of the GBC's rough house street fighting gangster messiahs, so no doubt he will be attracting people away from ISKCON for that reason. Goody, we do not want more folks in the GBC camp, that becomes more dangerous for us. I'd rather have to face off with the Prem Prayojana followers if there was going to be a conflict. ys pd

ISKCON's India Bureau "Shocked and Offended" By ISKCONnews Site

AKINCANA GOCARA

News and views on culture, philosophy and siddhanta of ISKCON Vaishnavas

The Leaders of ISKCON India are Shocked and Offended

BY: AKINCANA STAFF  ON: MAY 17, 2021  IN: NEWS  

India ICC Statement:

"Whereas, the leaders of ISKCON India are shocked and offended that the ISKCONnews.org website ran an article that endorses the book, “Destroyer of Sorrow” (the final book in the “Sita’s Fire Triology”) written by Vrinda Sheth,

"Whereas, the concepts mentioned in the article contradict the concept that vedic shastras are divine and therefore free from human defects,

"Whereas, we recognize that anyone and everyone has a right to propagate their own ideas, but if they contradict the teachings of shastras and acharyas, it should not be endorsed by official ISKCON,

"Therefore we, the ICC, call upon the GBC to instruct the editors of the ISKCONnews.org website to remove the article from it’s site.

"Further, ISKCON India will undertake a review of the book and publish it’s findings. The ICC directs ISKCON India temples not to display or sell the book at least until the review is complete.

[PADA: Wow, ISKCON India folks are waking up. Oooops. Sort of. They are issuing all sorts of proclamations these days about how bogus the rest of ISKCON is. Great. Except, aren't the ICC Board members the self same people who are helping Radhanath in burying pedophiles in samadhis in the dham? 

We need to have pedophiles and porno swamis buried next to India's saints, and in the dham no less, and in samadhi? What exactly are "pedophiles in samadhi" according to the ICC folks anyway? We also have "porno swami samadhi," which we always find -- in Vedic shastra? Where is the ICC complaint about -- themselves? 

Meanwhile PADA friends actually living in the dham are shocked and offended at -- the ICC Board -- every time they walk past their pedophile and porno swami samadhis. So the acharyas are free from defects, therefore we have a pile of them "engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children," or drinking Vodka, or watching pornos, or claiming that we need to go to Narayan Maharaja, and so on and so forth. 

So we should not mis-represent the idea that acharyas are full of mundane defects, except, when they are -- engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children, which is evidently -- not defective? Or what?

Sorry, you guys are making more questions than answers here. ys pd]  

Mahasrnga Das Departs

PADA: Mahasrnga das departs. He was a friend. And at one time -- when I was distributing my "PADA papers" at an ISKCON festival (yep, there was no internet at one time) -- he acted as my body guard to keep the GBC goondas from attacking me. When they saw him with me, they backed off, because they knew he meant business. He was in sum a sympathizer to the PADA program. 

He told me he has to live in India because America is too WAY much MAYA for him. Well, he is probably right on that count.

He also helped me when Dayalu Nitai's HKC Jaipur guys attacked me. He said these guys are just another "bogus business men posing as devotees program." And they are exploiting people in the name of Srila Prabhupada -- just like the GBC. And he said that is why they all went running off with Radhanath's clone Bhakta das, because they are more with the pedophile guru's program than with your PADA Srila Prabhupada's program -- and they are simply cheating people that they are not sympathizers with the GBC's gurus. 

So he helped me when these guys sent their goonda Prahlad das to threaten to kill me. He said he would act as my "look out" over there, and keep tabs on these folks. He said to me, everyone who loves to see pedophiles being worshiped "as good as God gurus" wants to kill you, there is nothing new about any of this. 

And later he would make various snarky comments about the bogus gurus to add to things I was writing. So he wanted to help me in what I was doing. I don't know how he managed to live at an ISKCON temple, with his attitude against the gurus, but he managed somehow or other. Anyway, he was always telling me "make sure you chant your rounds" and things like that, because he had genuine concern for me -- and for many others. 

In sum! He was a sort of mild mannered gentlemanly devotee with real concern for me and others, which seems to be in VERY short supply in many cases. So we will miss him for that reason alone.

In the end, everyone knows he was "a Srila Prabhupada man." He wanted to see things rectified in ISKCON, he wanted to have Srila Prabhupada re-established as the acharya, and let us hope that his wishes eventually manifest. 

GOD SPEED SPIRIT SOUL!

Hare Krishna.

Yesterday was Sunday so no one allowed to meet patients or doctors.  I called in the morning and the doctor said they had still not moved to non covid wing but he is ok, same position. But at 2.30 am this morning, 17th of May 2021 the doctor from JNU Hospital phoned me to declare that Mahasrnga Prabhu (Michael Charles Crawford) left this world. He was in full consciousness, with Srila Prabhupada chanting in his ear. Remembering Lord Krishna he has returned home, back to Godhead.

He was Covid negative and the infection in his lungs was reducing slowly but he had stopped eating. He became very weak and though saying he would cooperate, he did not. At one point I told him we all want him to recover and he looked me clearly and said, but I don't want.

Today at 9.00 am we will collect him from the hospital and make arrangements for his funeral. He has left a last will, which we will see today and take care accordingly. Those that wish to see it, if you ask, I will send you a copy.

I will remember him, as the saintly person he was, he had no greed, no anger, no lust for this world. His only interest was his service to Srila Prabhupada. You all know better than me. 

We all love him dearly and miss him. If you like to write a condolence I will see that it is read out in whatever small gathering we are allowed, as we are still fully locked down here.
