PADA: Ukraine is a mess. Russia is also going to suffer a lot from creating their "special operation." Someone sent me an interesting article which says Russia already had a male / man shortage ratio compared to women -- before the war, and now it is getting worse by the hour.
The Russia Gender Ratio was around 86 men to 100 women, and the gap is much more among the older women, 45 men to 100 women. So the plan to send hundreds of thousands of men off to war, and over a million men leaving the country to avoid the war, leaves many women unable to find a man to marry, or widows, and many children with no father. I met one Russian guy here who says he has no plans to ever go back, he is done with Russia.
And this boys and girls, is all about "establishing family vaules." Hey guess what genius leaders, without a man, there is no family. Oh duh! Meanwhile the robbers, pedophiles, car jackers, rapists and murderers who did their six months war service are now coming back into Russian society fully pardoned. And thus, we could easily anticipate -- more crimes. Oh yeah, already started. Oh duh!
Not sure what the plan is here? Seems like GBC type managing. They just move out on some bombastic program with no real plan or idea how it will work, and then sort of try to patch it up -- as it keeps falling apart. Meanwhile, they are cracking down on doubters, oh yeah, just like ISKCON! Sheesh pilgrims. ys pd

Yep, keep transferring karma to me.
I am another Jesus. Any questions?

At least 8 or 10 devotee friends of mine in the early to mid-1980s died from suicide or car accidents caused by exhaustion, including my best friend, but I don’t blame Srila Prabhupada. It was the fault of the “gurus”, GBCs, TPs, and their mindless sycophants. Thank you for making the effort to hold the most heinous of them to account. Better late than never.
However, it seems many of you don’t realize that Srila Prabhupada is still accessible, available, reciprocal, and capable of taking anyone back to Godhead. I was initiated by one of Srila Prabhupada’s representative initiator disciples in 1982, and have been happily serving Srila Prabhupada ever since, even though I’m just a fallen soul. If I can do it, anyone can.
Srila Prabhupada is fully alive in my life, more and more every day. He is my guide, leader, master, caring friend, and inspiration, and he can be yours too. The scandals that rock ISKCON make me sad, embarrassed, ashamed, and angry, but at least people such as I have the safe shelter and protection of Srila Prabhupada. I just want you all to know that the same shelter is available to everyone without exception.
If you truly want to assist Srila Prabhupada’s movement moving forward, you will need to first acknowledge that the foolish rubber stamping of gurus is a fraudulent idea with no shastric support. Taking shelter of the most recent uttama adhikari acharya is the way forward. I realize other devotees have a right to choose who they wish to follow, but for me personally, the most recent uttama adhikari is Srila Prabhupada.
It’s time to allow us followers who accept Srila Prabhupada as our guide and master to have a genuine place within the society of devotees, although in the present context, it isn’t a very attractive proposition anyway. Our Prabhupadanuga numbers are increasing exponentially, and we now make up the largest block of devotees worldwide. There is nothing you need to fear from us and no need for brainwashed guru cult followers to treat us like untouchable dog poo anymore. The truth is now plain for all to see, at last, thank Krishna.
If we all serve Srila Prabhupada unitedly, seniors and juniors both respectfully together, without much additional super-duper special treatment for anyone, as Srila Prabhupada directed, we can purge the sin from ISKCON and enjoy a very bright future together. Maintaining the current ISKCON organizational hierarchy will only perpetuate the problems and be a continued recipe for disaster. Please don’t take offense. I don’t mind if you disagree with me. It has been that way for the past 40 years. I wish you all well in your quest to cross the material ocean.
I understand that this message may ruffle the wrong feathers. I don’t write in a challenging spirit but simply to offer my best suggestion on how to curb demoniac tendencies and make real change for the better for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada and beautiful Lord Sri Krishna.
DL: I found your points sane, respectful and worthy of discussion.
PB: Hari nam sankirtan is the medicine as Bhaktisiddhanta said better to sell the marble. Most current ISKCON temple presidents seem to think they are there permanently ... and they are mostly ... brain dead Pyschopaths. They are there to exploit others ... just like the gurus they serve.
