ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC)
March 15 at 10:50 PM
The following GBC members offered their resignation from GBC services - Bhakti-bhusana Swami, Bhakti Marg Swami, Malati Devi, Niranjana Swami and Radhanath Swami. The members voted in favor of accepting the resignations, and as a result, their resignations were officially accepted.
Hare Krishna.
PADA: The GBC folks keep resigning left, right and center, and leaving behind the giant mess they have created for ISKCON and its citizens. A temple president was recently talking to my friend confidentially. And the president admits that Radhanath had a lot to do with the New Vrndavana molesting empire, and he was friends with many of the people in the Mayapur molesting empire, Vrndavana molesting empire etc. In other words, he has supported a lot of corruption and even programs that harm children, and many people know that.
The temple president said -- as each molesting victim -- or other victims -- come forward, it is another example of GBC mis-managing that they cannot deny. And so it is "GBC death by a thousand cuts." Then they resign to try to protect themselves legally, while keeping their stolen money or even continuing on as gurus "in their own zone" or in their own separated guru spin off empires.
These folks agreed -- the GBC has no fix for current ISKCON, nor did they ever want ISKCON to be fixed. They continued the status quo as long as they could, evidently so they could pack away funds as much as possible, so when they do leave, they will have a big nest egg retirement package. I think all that makes sense. ys pd

PADA: Correct, the Krishna Kirtan advertised by Prabhupadanuga EU is a follower of Krishna Balaram swami, a self advertised acharya. We heard that he was complaining about the child abuse in Vrndavana way back in the early 1980s, but he did not take corrective action that we ever heard of.
Krishna Kirtan also says he too was a victim of mistreatment.
Yet neither Krishna Balarama swami, Krishna Kirtan, or his parents, ever took these issues to the police that we know of, nor did they make this problem known to many other parents whose kids were still in there that we know of. And that is why a lot of parents told me, "we did not know." Well yeah, because these people have been covering up for the regime. And that is self evidently why Prabhupadanuga EU promotes these cover ups and worshipers of bogus acharyas. They are a team.
And someone else told me, Krishna Balaram swami says we can only advance to prefection when we are born in India. And Prabhupanuga EU is promoting Third Reich-ism birther-ism. So they are both racists, and no wonder they are combining efforts. And in both cases, they failed to help the children of ISKCON, and they attacked the people who did help the children, to help their regime pals. Birds of a feather.

HANSADUTTA SPEAKS:
Ritvik initiation ceremony was conducted routinely for many years on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. Why would Srila Prabhupada have to formulate a letter instructing me and 10 others to perform ritviks initiations that we all had been doing for years? The only reason would be to formalise and fix us to continue after his departure.
His departure was an obvious fact, his instructions by a formal letter, indicating specific personalities, were clear. There is no letter where Prabhupada points to any disciple who takes on the responsibility of being a GURU.
Prabhupada used to say, “You can say anything, but don’t put it in writing.”. That makes it a legal document.” What Prabhupada said in a conversation is just that. A conversation. What was written are legal documents.
What is at stake here is not the rhetoric or mental speculation of the VOTED in GURUS; rather, it is your conviction and loyalty to Prabhupada, because without that, you cannot convince anyone of Prabhupada or Krishna Consciousness.
Because Krishna Consciousness flows from Prabhupada the person, NOT from ISKCON the INSTITUTION. “It is the king who makes the kingdom”, not the kingdom who makes the king. Srila Prabhupada is the foundation, the creator of ISKCON, not ISKCON is the creator of Prabhupada. You have to invest your whole heart and soul into Prabhupada's PERSON, then ISKCON's Validity, Authenticity and Power will be clearly visible to you.
You will not recognise or determine the MEANING and INTENTION of Prabhupada by conducting an OPINION POLL inside ISKCON. You and Prabhupada are in front of each other. You need to get in line. You can't get Prabhupada arming yourself with OTHERS OPINION. You are alone and you are responsible for your OWN DELIVERY. Its you and Srila Prabhupada.
The ocean leaves plenty of room for non-stop paddling, but genuine and experienced sailors always maintain their course by gazing at the constant NORTH STAR (or Polar). This way, every experienced Sailor/DEVOTEE, anywhere in any ocean in the world, knows exactly where they are and how to proceed to their destination. Why are you so interested in “most devotees” and karmis?. You have to be first of all interested in your own and “true orientation towards Srila Prabhupada”. If that's not established in your heart, YOU CANNOT do good to anyone, NOT EVEN YOURSELF.
You have to remember that Krishna, after explaining in detail several philosophies: karma yoga, morning yoga, astanga yoga, sankhya yoga, the three modalities of nature, the divine and demonic natures, the qualities of the four orders of the varnas and ashrams, the universal form, bhakti yoga and etc , finally concludes this eloquent summary of all philosophy, thought and Vedic analysis saying to Arjuna (His devotee and friend): Abandon all dharma and simply do what I tell you. Just give yourself to Me and I will protect you.... don't worry, don't be afraid. "If there's any fault or problem, I'll take care of it."
But after 5,000 years of reading the Bhagavad-gita, the whole world, including India, has yet to grasp this final conclusion of Krishna's instructions. Sarva dharmam parityajya: “Forget all your DHARMA and all your formulas, traditions, rituals and procedures.”. Just give yourself to Me. I will protect you from every sinful reaction. DON'T FEAR IT. "Who has understood this conclusive order????. Almost NOBODY.
So even when Srila Prabhupada spent ten years travelling, preaching, writing 60 volumes of books, building temples, farming communities, recruiting thousands of devotees, meeting dignitaries, pop stars, etc., no one can understand, or NO ONE wants to understand his FINAL ORDER, his final prescription for his disciples and the world, because the heart is filled with ambition to be a GURU-ACHARYA similar to or better than Prabhupada.
So he presented himself so that everyone could have his cake and eat it too. Prabhupada's instructions are actually CLEAR AS CRYSTAL, but if one's heart is not CLEAR AS CRYSTER, you cannot see, hear or embrace what is CLEAR AS CRYstals. Therefore there is Chaos, Confusion and Ignorance.
Ignorance does not mean something is unknown or not understood. Ignorance means I know the fact, but I WILLINGLY ignore it. Like a man who knows he should completely stop at a red light, but believing they don't see it, he doesn't stop and passes the red light without stopping. So ambition looks like this. Lust: "must get it...." "I want to be a guru." The polluted heart will find all sorts of REASONS, LOGIC, ARGUMENTS and SUPREME AUTHORITY to complement and support its ambitious and lustful desires.
There is no room for bad interpretation; there is only room for DEMONSTRATION. Let's see a demonstration of SPIRITUAL POWER. Lets see what someone CAN DO. It's not about interpreting the presence of the sun; it's SELF-EVIDENCE.
NO, there is no room for bad interpretations. It's a matter of PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION. Prabhupada has led the example. He used to say, "Do what I do." So who doing what HE DID??? He was a single guru. In 10 years set the world on fire with Krishna Consciousness. So who has even come close by lighting a match in the dark? What's the use of NAMING STRAYERS? When Bhaktisiddhanta was asked: "Who would be the next Acharya?". "he replied: ""The Acharya is SELF-REFULGENT, HE CANNOT be appointed.""". [Prabhupada recalls this in a letter to Rupanuga, dated April 28, 1974]
You want bureaucracy, you want formulas, rituals, procedures; but we need substance: "SHOW ME THE MONEY". Why not see things as they are? We can see what Prabhupada did. WE CANNOT SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE. Hundreds of Gurus, so have there been HUNDREDS MORE?
Do you think building a system will produce BETTER RESULTS?. No system will replace the ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
Your humble servant ,
