STRONG TRIGGER WARNING

Every ISKCON leader who looked the other way is culpable for the 40-year reign of terror Anirdesya Vapu (fka Bhaktividya Purna) held over vulnerable young Vaishnavas in Mayapur. That includes those leaders who publicly endorsed him, who invited him to travel and speak at their temples, who instructed their disciples to send their children to his schools, or who enjoyed the perks of having gurukula boys as indentured servants, while visiting Mayapur and staying at AV’s schools.

Leaders, every one of you has blood on your hands. You were warned. Many times. Over the past 30+ years you received seven (7!) official reports that repeatedly informed you of AV’s horrific abuse. 

Yet you ignored them. Even worse, you allowed, encouraged - and even facilitated - his abuse of more children. You invoked Bhagavad Gita 9.30. “Api cet.” “Forgive and forget!” Shame on you. Collectively, you disgraced our Society. Now you have a brave devotee coming forward to tell his story of severe child abuse and Vaishnava aparadha from Anirdesya Vapu. The ISKCON world is watching. What will you do?

Dear ISKCON North American devotees,

For years, Bhavananda and Satadhanya have been prominently employed and connected with the most publicly visible project in ISKCON: the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP).

Bhavananda and Satadhanya are also child rapists.

As I write this, Satadhanya’s presence is still seen in the TOVP’s fundraising office, where visitors come through. Satadhanya represents himself as working for the TOVP. Bhavananda is attributed to being responsible for the vision and design of the TOVP.

TOVP representatives Brajavilas, Ambarisa, and others are currently touring ISKCON North American temples asking for money, but refusing to remove Bhavananda or Satadhanya from the TOVP.

ISKCON child protection laws are in place but are being flagrantly ignored for these two child rapists with the justification that Srila Prabhupada wanted the TOVP built, so we can say - and do - anything to achieve that goal.

In 2018 the GBC RESOLVED:

“No person, who has been determined to have engaged in severe maltreatment of children, will be allowed to remain active in a position of authority or trust within ISKCON, this includes activities such as leading kirtan, giving class, speaking publicly at any ISKCON event or representing ISKCON in official capacities.” https://gbc.iskcon.org/gbc_res/GBCRES18.pdf

Today we honor Lord Nsringhadeva, who violently tore apart Hiranyakashipu because Hiranyakashipu abused his son.

You can honor Lord Nsringhadeva and His devotee Prahlad, by asking your temple NOT to host the TOVP’s fundraising efforts.

North American ISKCON temples that hosted the TOVP:

Dallas, Texas (April 9)

Portland, Oregon (April 28)

Silicon Valley, California (May 1)

Los Angeles, California (May 4)

North American ISKCON temples that plan to host the TOVP:

New Vrindaban, West Virginia (June 17)

San Diego, California (June 3)

Please let me know if your temple has hosted, or plans to host, the TOVP.

Please also encourage people to refrain from donating to the TOVP, and instead donate to the ISKCON Child Protection Office.

Yours truly,

SD

PADA: A former teacher at Satsvarupa's gurukula told me "every single student was molested." The molester allegedly came from another zone where he was molesting, then he was moved to another zone and another zone, and yet no one was alerted, no police reports, nothing was done according to that teacher. And this teacher was too paranoid to do anything themselves. ys pd

A court in Russia found the director of the GBC ISKCON gurukula guilty of child abuse. In Sochi, a man (Vanamali Das) was found guilty of creating and leading a religious association and torturing a minor.

The evidence collected by the investigative department for the Adler district of Sochi ICR on the edge was recognized by the court as sufficient to sentence the 58-year-old defendant. He was found guilty of creating and leading a religious association whose activities involve violence against citizens (Part 1 of Article 239 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and torturing a minor (paragraph "d" of Part 2 of Article 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The investigation and the court found that in 2008 the defendant created and led a religious association, which he called "The Land of the Soul", based on the current of "Krishnaism" (Vaishnavism), as well as elements of drill, whose activities were associated with violence against citizens. The man formed around himself a circle of followers of several dozen people, some of whom were minors, who had to fulfill his various instructions. At the same time, violence was used against them as punishment, both for deviation from the canons of the teachings and the internal regulations established by them. 

The attacker systematically inflicted suffering and pain on the victims, including the minor. In May 2021, his illegal activities were stopped by employees of the regional department of the FSB of Russia.

For the period of investigation of the criminal case, at the request of the investigator, a preventive measure was chosen in the form of detention, the effect of which was extended for the period of consideration of the case in court.
The verdict of the court sentenced the defendant to 3 years and 6 months of imprisonment. He should serve his sentence in a general regime colony.

KAILASA CHANDRA UPDATE

1979 is not what we are discussing, Kailasa later wrote papers that the GBC were circulating and he wrote for "guru reformer" Rocana's site for years and years, it is all still on Rocana's site now. Try to keep your history in order. And his followers still call us insane fools, because we had their molester regime sued while Kailasa was encouraging the regime. I know about 1979, that was the time he was treating poor Jadurani like a dog, and he burnt her out to make her go to the Gaudiya Matha by not giving her any shelter. He was highly abusive to her, as I saw myself when we met them. 

Another misogynist tyrant, and so is Tamal. I know about 1979, but that is not the end of the story ... and his followers still call us insane fools because the GBC says that when we oppose their molesting, his followers are simply ditto heads parrots of the GBC. And that is why the media people who interviewed me just now said, you are one the only sane Hare Krishnas, because you know child abuse must be checked, hardly no one else addressed the issue as you have. ys pd

Five Prayers to Lord Nrsimha by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur

e dusta hrdaye kama adi ripu chaya
kutinati pratisthasa sathya sada raya
hrdaya-sodhana ara krsnera vasana
nrsimha-carane mora ei to’ kamana

Within my sinful heart the six enemies headed by lust perpetually reside, as well as duplicity, the desire for fame, plus sheer cunning. At the lotus feet of Lord Narasimha, I hope that He will mercifully purify my heart and give me the desire to serve Lord Krsna.

kandiya nrsimha-pade magibo kakhana
nirapade navadvipe jugala-bhajana
bhaya bhaya paya yan’ra darsane se hari
prasanna hoibo kabe more daya kari

Weeping, I will beg at the lotus-feet of Lord Narasimha for the benediction of worshipping Radha and Krsna in Navadvipa, perfectly safe and free from all difficulties. When will this Lord Hari, Whose terrible form strikes fear into fear itself, ever become pleased and show me His mercy?

yadyapi bhisana murti dusta-jiva-prati
prahladadi krsna-bhakta-jane bhadra ati
kabe va prasanna ho’ye sa krpa-vacane
nirbhaya karibe ei mudha akincane

Even though Lord Narasimha is terrifying toward the sinful souls, He offers great auspiciousness unto the devotees of Lord Krsna headed by Prahlada Maharaja. When will He be pleased to speak words of compassion unto me, a worthless fool, and thereby make me fearless?

svacchande baiso he vatsa sri-gauranga-dhame
jugala-bhajana hau rati hau name
mama bhakta-krpa-bale vighna jabe dura
suddha cite bhajo radha-krsna-rasa-pura

He will say, “Dear child! Sit down freely and live happily here in Sri Gauranga-dhama. May you nicely worship the Divine Couple, and may you develop loving attachment for Their Holy Names. By the mercy of My devotees, all obstacles are cast far away. With a purified heart, just perform the worship of Radha and Krsna, for such worship overflows with sweet nectar.”

ei boli’ kabe mora mastaka-upara
sviya sri-carana harse dharibe isvara
amani jugala-preme sattvika vikare
dharaya lutibo ami sri-nrsimha-dvare

Saying this, will that Lord delightedly place His own divine lotus-feet upon my head? I will experience sublime love for the Divine Couple Radha-Krsna and undergo the ecstatic transformations called sattvika. Falling on the ground, I will roll about at the door of Sri Narasimha’s temple.

War is Hell Update 



Not a Happy Camper


Dan Ladden-Hall

Press Service of Prigozhin / Telegram

Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday said his fighters will pull out of the key eastern Ukraine battleground of Bakhmut on May 10, ripping a lack of support from Moscow that is dooming his troops “to a senseless death.”

PADA: Yeah but just weeks ago you were standing in a giant graveyard saying -- death is not important because "everyone has to die." You have sometimes gained a football field sized advance in a day, but only after the cost of thousands of men. And how long will you be able to hold that small area, when you have to expend thousands more men to hold the alleged gains? 

His mercenaries have led the bitter fight for control of the small city that has become the scene of some of the bloodiest conflict in Ukraine in recent months despite Bakhmut holding little strategic significance. In a series of furious tirades against Russia’s military commanders, Prigozhin said he’ll now pull his forces out of the city because Wagner is not being given the ammunition it needs.

PADA: OK so your men do not have ammo, you know that, but yet you send 20-30 human waves of them into the field every day, knowing they cannot defend themselves. That makes you the main problem, not the ammo.

Putin Grooms Russians for Defeat in Leaked Crisis Manual

“I am officially addressing the supreme commander-in-chief, the chief of the General Staff, the minister of defense, and the people of Russia,” Prigozhin said in a statement shared on Telegram. “I declare on behalf of the fighters of the Wagner Group … that on May 10, 2023, we are being forced to hand over our positions in Bakhmut to Ministry of Defense units and withdraw what’s left of Wagner to the rear to lick our wounds.”

“I am withdrawing Wagner’s units from Bakhmut because in the absence of ammunition they are being doomed to a senseless death,” Prigozhin continued. He added that he’d decided to hold Wagner’s positions until after May 9, when Russia celebrates Victory Day, commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.

“We will lick our wounds, and when the Motherland is in danger, we will again stand up for her defense,” Prigozhin said. “The Russian people can count on us.”

PADA: You are not even defending the mother land, you are in someone else's land.

The announcement comes a day after Prigozhin’s long-standing criticisms of Russia’s leaders appeared to boil over. In a video shared on Telegram on Thursday, the Wagner chief stood alongside what looked like rows of his recruits’ bloodied corpses and became apoplectic with rage as he said he lacked 70 percent of the ammunition he needs on the battlefield.

“These were someone’s fucking fathers! And someone’s sons!” Prigozhin fumed in the footage. “And those bastards who don’t give us ammunition will fucking eat their guts in fucking hell!”

PADA: Well yep, one of the hells is that persons are forced to eat their own intestines, and it is amazing he knows about the existence of such hells. And yep, Russia is losing hundreds of thousands of fathers and sons, and wounding and maiming hundreds of thousands more, just so they can capture a football field sized area once in awhile, and then maybe lose it a day later. So they are losing men for nothing, that is correct. 

The video opens with Prigozhin pointing a flashlight on his apparently lifeless mercenaries and saying they were Wagner recruits who died on the day the footage was recorded. “Their blood is still fresh,” he said before instructing the cameraman to make sure he films all of the corpses.

“Our ammunition shortage has reached 70 percent! Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is the f*cking ammo?” Prigozhin thundered, referring to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the Russian armed forces chief Gen. Valery Gerasimov.

“F*cking look at them!” he continued. “You bastards sit in your expensive clubs. Your children enjoy life and film YouTube videos. You think you own this life and you have the right to decide their fates!” Prigozhin claimed that if he was given the amount of ammunition he needs, he would have five times fewer casualties.

“They came here as volunteers and they are dying so you can enjoy life in your offices with red wood furniture,” he added. “Take this into account.” The video ends with a shot lingering on the bodies.

PADA: Yeah but he is also not going to the front lines either, he is another guy sitting in an office chair and ordering thousands of other people to go to their deaths. He is the shepherd leading his flock to slaughter, ok and so are the other Kremlin guys sitting in their offices, but why is he different from them? None of them are on the front lines.

A withdrawal by Wagner from Bakhmut could have a major effect on the battle for the city. Earlier this week, the White House’s National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that more than 20,000 Russian troops had died fighting in Ukraine in the last five months alone, the majority of whom had been killed in grueling trench warfare in Bakhmut.

Russia has made repeated claims of being close to completely capturing the city, but Ukraine has always maintained that the city has not been lost.

PADA: Nothing new here. After Kurukshetra the mothers and wives all came out crying that their men were deceased. This is always what happens in wars for millions of years, and no one should expect a different result. 

The problem now is, this guy is right, in Kali Yuga the people who are calling the shots on these wars are just sitting in an air conditioned office or bunker somewhere away from the battle, and they are just ordering other people to go to their deaths. And that is one of the symptoms of Kali Yuga, these armchair warriors will sit in a bunker and order everyone else to go to die. 

But he is also one of those people. And unfortunately, they will ALL be held responsible for all these deaths by the court of Yamaraja. You were the shepherd, you lead your flock -- as it was taken to slaughter -- thus you are the person who gets the main karma. And yeah, hells where they have to eat their own intestines is where they are all headed. He is right. 

And the same applies to the ISKCON GBC's guys. They started a war, many people suffered and died, and they will have to pay the piper eventually. And many of them already are, they are suffering, gone insane, or they are dead. And then comes Yamadutta time.
