Alachua ISKCON's "Ukraine Festival"

JND: ISKCON is now holding "Ukraine Festivals" on temple property. They are completely bought out servants of the globalist elite. They push whatever agenda the WEF demands them to. They push the lockdowns, masks, the Ukraine war, feminism (women diksha gurus for example), normalizing homosexual marriage, and all sorts of other agendas.

There are ISKCON gurus who literally send World Economic Forum website links to their disciples for guidance. There are also ISKCON gurus who encourage their disciples to die in battle against Russia to "fulfill their duty" as kshatriyas. These leaders are demoniac.

Both sides in this war are asuras. Two groups of asuras fighting amongst themselves to steal and plunder and destroy humanity. Devotees should have nothing to do with either side in this war. Any guru who tells you to fight and die for asuras should be immediately rejected. Run from this war and let the asuras fight amongst themselves. Every single person sent to the front lines on both sides is going to die for absolutely nothing. No one is going to come home, and the only winner will be some rich oligarchs.

[PADA: Basically agree. As much as possible, devotees should avoid being soldiers in this war -- and / or all the other mundane wars in general. Ukraine has a hotline for Russian soldiers to call in case someone gets sent there by force, maybe someone can get out of the fighting by calling the hotline. I dunno. It is a mess, for all sides. 

And I also agree that ISKCON should not be taking an active part in promoting one side or the other on its own property. If ISKCON's supporting one side gets out to say -- the Russian media -- then there could be repercussions for the devotees of ISKCON in Russia or its allies. I have some connections in Russia and it is very hard for them at present ALREADY. 

Some devotees have told me I should not slant my news in favor of Ukraine either, but we are an independent blog with no actual affiliations with any institution. I am also not "on one side or the other" in particular, but I am against brutality to civilians, and I know various people there who have been treated very, very, very badly and they are non-combatants. 

For example, I have a Hindu nurse friend whose apartment was blown up and many people -- including kids -- died right there and then, and she only survived because she was in her bathtub when the shrapnel exploded in her apartment. It is the duty of the Russian soldiers to remove all the non-combatant people from these buildings and give them safe passage to a secure place -- before -- setting fire to their dwellings, especially when there are women, children, babies, old people etc. inside. And the Russian government should then give them another housing, food supplies etc. since they are wards of the invading state. 

As for the war itself. NATO is only supplying a small amount of the weapons Ukraine is using. Most of their weapons are already of Russian origin, and Russians are leaving behind all sorts of tanks, rifles, ammunition, artillery pieces etc. all over the place, and so the Ukraine people are just re-purposing that for their side. 

Most of Ukraine's current weapons were actually donated to them by Russia. Now Ukraine is handing out former Russian military gear to the formerly unarmed people in all these villages etc. so if the Russians try coming back in there, it is going to be a lot more trouble next time. I just saw a tik tok where Russians abandoned some tanks and boxes full of ammo. And the Ukraine mechanics got into them, repaired and got them up and running, and sent them to go after the Russians within 8 hours repair time. No one arms Ukraine more than Russia. 

In any case, it is rough going for everyone involved, and we hope this war can come to some sort of settlement soon, because it is hampering the devotees there, never mind causing lots of suffering, death, ecological damage, animal deaths etc. 

Yep, official ISKCON should not host what essentially looks like political programs on their property. And ISKCON leaders need to appear as neutral, because taking sides in politics is not a good idea for an international institution. Agreed. Same thing with endorsing politicians, which some evangelical Christians are doing, but it is not a good idea for Krishna devotees to take sides in these mundane affairs. And this is one reason so many young people are leaving the Christian faith, seeing it as part of mundane politics.

Similar issue has been going on in UK where ISKCON temples have been somehow associated with Hindu nationalism, and its not a good situation there either.
