MMD: Oh, self - advertised champion of defending poor defenseless women and children. In reality? Attacking the people who expose mistreating women and children ... and that preserves the aggressors.
His FB is full of statements about defending the defenseless, while he attacks those who defend the defenseless. Another GBC cowboy. The defenders of Jayatirtha are the reason he is dead. They helped along his addiction to illusion, power, worship, women and drugs. That helped make him die.

SHRILA PRABHUPĀDA AS WELL WAS POISONED WITH CADMIUM AND ARSENIC BY KALI CHELAS = DEMONS DISGUISED AS "devotees" PRETENDING TO BE HIS "disciples"!!
Srila Prabhupada: Just like Lord Jesus Christ. He was so badly treated and still he was thinking, "Father, they do not know what they are doing. Please excuse." This is suhrdah. He is praying to God This is sadhu, mahatma. Suhrdah prasanta. Not that... In India there are examples like Haridasa Thakura, Prahlada Maharaja. And the Western countries also, Lord Jesus Christ, he is saktyavesa-avatara, God's son.
And he tolerated so much. These are the examples of mahatma. Don't misunderstand that we are preaching that mahatmas are only in India. No. By the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead there are mahatmas even amongst the birds, even amongst the beasts, even amongst the lower than animals. Because this Krsna consciousness movement is going on in different places, in different circumstances.

IT IS VERY CLEAR, BUT FOR THE HONEST, SINCERE AND SIMPLE PRACTIONERS - JUST BY FOLLOWING AND APLLYING IN DAILY LIFE THE ORDERS/INSTRUCTIONS/TEACHINGS = VAANI OF THE TRUE PURE DEVOTEE HIS DIVINE GRACE SHRILA PRABHUPĀDA..IS COMPLETELY ENOUGH TO REACH HIGHEST LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS PURITY..!!!
Madhudviṣa: Is there any way for a Christian to, without the help of a spiritual master, to reach the spiritual sky through believing in the words of Jesus Christ and trying to follow his teachings?
Srila Prabhupāda: I don’t follow.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Can a Christian in this age, without a spiritual master, but by reading the Bible and following Jesus’s words, reach the spiritual…
Srila Prabhupāda: When you read Bible, you follow spiritual master. How can you say without? As soon as you read Bible, that means you are following the instruction of Lord Jesus Christ; that means you are following spiritual master. So where is the opportunity of being without spiritual master?
Madhudviṣa: I was referring to a living spiritual master.
Srila Prabhupāda: Spiritual master is not the question of… Spiritual master is eternal. Spiritual master is eternal. So, your question is, without spiritual master. Without spiritual master you cannot be, at any stage of your life. You may accept this spiritual master or that spiritual master. That is a different thing. But you have to accept.

MATTHEW MC GOVERN VS PADA
Matthew Mcgovern: I shouldve removed you earlier, as you were always putting others down and glorifying yourself like a true narcissisist.
PADA: Yep, as soon as we said there is a child mistreatment problem, you guys said I was putting people down and was a narcissist. And you still do. That means you are proud you suppressed my complaints. To say that child mistreatment is wrong is -- me -- self glorifying myself? Nope, it is pointing out a crime and the people who suppressed me helped the criminals. ys pd
Mattthew Mcgovern: You dont even know me, or even remember me from the 70s where I met you at the manor and also in berkley, you guys indeed.
PADA: I don't need to know who you are. To say that me helping have the GBC sued for $400,0000,000 for mass child mistreatment is -- all about a narcissist and I, me and mine -- is what the mistreaters and abusers also say. You are parroting them. Child abuse is a crime, and it needs to be exposed. The person reporting crimes is not glorifying himself, he is trying to prevent crimes against children.
And Jayatirtha thus has no authority to remove us whistle blowers on child mistreatment, that is called aiding and abetting criminals. Yeah JT removed me from ISKCON when I said the children are suffering from his bogus program. And UK people like you were there and did not support me, you are right.
But your Jayatirtha crowd got rid of me and then shortly after that, the chloroform on children abuse problem started at Croome court. This is called enabling criminals, and has nothing to do with me, that is their program.
Discrediting us whistle blowers enables the regime. And even law enforcement told me that, the people who discredit you are enabling all these criminals. You guys got rid of me, and then the chloroform gang was enabled. That makes all the people who helped get rid of me -- co-partnered enablers of these odious crimes.
Mistreating children is a crime, and if only us narcissists know it is a crime, then you are less than us. But even the HKC Jaipur people say the same thing, only us drunks and sahajiyas know that mass child abuse is a crime, that means they don't know, only we do.
That means you guys are not as advanced as us narcissists, drunks, sahajiyas and ISKCON's junkyard dog. Jayatirtha was a leader over me and other citizens. And that means he has the responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of the other citizens, especially the children.
Instead he is removing us whistle blowers, and thus removing the guard rails against child abuse, which makes him an enabler of these crimes against children. And it makes you part of the criminal team as his cheer leader.
Jayatirtha thought he was another Jesus who could absorb sins, and I told him he could not take sins. Anyone who helped him in these illusions helped him get his head whacked off and then dispatched to hell for misleading people. False gurus go to the most obnoxious regions, and so do their hand maiden defenders.
OK that is the planet where all the actual narcissists will go and re-assemble the team there. Your guys narcissism and Jesus wanna-be-ism made thousands of children suffer, and even Jayatirtha has had to suffer, and your folks will all be held to account for encouraging all this eventually.

ISKCON'S COW MIS-INFORMATION
JND: Recently there is a video on the news of a devotee business man in Madurai who was keeping 700 cows. In the video he says "A maharaja from ISKCON came to me and informed me these are not real cows, so I gave them all away and brought real desi breed cows".
Because of this false philosophy being spread by ISKCON, that only desi cows are real cows, 700 cows will end up sold for slaughter, all because an ISKCON maharaj told him they are not real cows. ISKCON is the organization that has started and pushed this false philosophy that only Indian breed cows are sacred.
Some years back (around 2018 or 2019) an article written by ISKCON Shastric Advisory Council member Hari Parshada Das was what started this philosophy, where he incorrectly and deceptively misused a fragmented quote to make the claim that western breeds are not real cows. At the time we refuted his article and showed the actual context of the quote and how it was being misused (you can see that article in the first comment).
Immediately Urmila Dasi (Edith Best) contacted me and wanted me to delete the article, saying it reflected poorly on Hari Parshada Das's position as a Sanskrit scholar (though I had not even mentioned his name in my article). She arranged a group chat with her, myself, and Hari Parshada Das, where he proceeded to curse me for the offenses I made against him.
PADA: Urmila is a big trouble maker. When I sent her an early version of PADA news, talking about child abuse, she returned my mail saying "no interest in this topic." She wanted an article deleted? Well yeah, it makes the pedophile messiah's program look bad.
After he left, she again tried to convince me to delete the article, admitting that he was wrong to have written it. At the end of the discussion she said she would "Ask Shivarama Swami", and then went on to unfriend me, while Hari Parshada Das blocked me in Facebook - all because I wouldn't delete the article I wrote, where I never even mentioned them by name.
PADA: Shivarama was a big Tamal groupie, and we had to have Tamal's program sued twice for mass child mistreatment. Asking Shivarama is asking the cheer leaders of the pedophile messiah's project for the right idea. They do not know the right idea.
Now we see this philosophy has become a mainstream Hindu belief in India, and is also promoted by many politicians and devotees. At one point ISKCON invited famous politician Subramanian Swamy to an ISKCON cow protection conference, where he said openly, "only Indian breed cows should not be killed, other cows can be killed" and not a single member from ISKCON said anything against it.
How can ISKCON hold a cow protection conference where it is said in the microphone we can kill cows if they are not desi breeds? Yet not a single person raised any objection. This philosophy is completely against the position Srila Prabhupada had regarding cows. It is recorded that Srila Prabhupada wanted to import foreign breeds of cows to Vrindavan, and he said they are very nice.
He never said they are not real cows, or that only desi breeds are sacred.
Again and again we hear cases, like in the recent news video, of devotees abandoning protected cows because someone has told them they are not the "sacred breed". There is no device to measure how many of the 33 crore devatas are in an animal. Neither is there a device to measure the three modes of nature in an animal or the level of sacredness. Such talk is pointless.
Everyone knows what a dog is. You don't look at the breed and then say, that's not a dog, he isn't a desi breed dog. Everyone knows what a cat is. You don't exclude other cats because they aren't desi breeds. Somehow when it comes to cows, these people now believe, despite all science, that only desi breeds are cows, and other breeds are another animal.
Who profits from this philosophy? The killers of cows. It justifies and gives them a sanction to kill 90 percent of the cows in India without repercussion, because they are not "sacred".
Both humans and animals (and even plants) can be selectively bred for certain traits to become prominent. In the west some breeds of cows (not all breeds) have been selectively bred to produce more beef, some have been bred to be hornless, some have been bred to be less aggressive, some have been bred to produce more milk, etc. Despite whatever positive or negative trait an animal may have, it doesn't become a new species.
Humans have also been bred sometimes for slavery or manual labor over centuries. Dogs have been bred, sometimes to create ferocious breeds like pitbulls. Many times the motivation of this selective breeding is demonic, and the animals are a victim. Regardless, they never stop being the species they were.
If you want to know whether a cow is sattvic, live with cows, serve cows, interact with cows, and speak with cows. Then you will know what are cows and what is their nature. Desi cows do not differentiate the Jersey cows they live with, only the humans are making this distinction, a distinction that will ultimately support, justify and increase cow slaughter, while providing a supposed religious justification.
This is not just a discussion as to which breed is more beautiful, which is more friendly, which has better milk, etc. They have directly stated, "they are not cows", they are not sacred, they are not worshipable, they are not unkillable. Can you understand how sinful such a statement is?
Everyone may have a favorite breed of dog or cow, or someone may favor one milk taste over another, someone may say one color of cow is more beautiful, that is all irrelevant. They are saying these are not cows and are not sacred. They have passed a death judgement on them.
Yes, some cow may be more beautiful, some cow may have nicer features, some cow may be very friendly, some cow's milk may be very sweet, but they are all cows and are all sacred. Where are the ISKCON leaders who are willing to stand up and speak in defense of mother cow? They are silent just like they are silent when the children are abused and molested in their schools.

"A person who knows things as they are and still does not bear witness becomes involved in sinful activities." - Chaitanya Charitamrita 2.5.90
PADA: Yep, the ICC Scholars Bureau people told me -- you are a mleccha. They are on the bodily platform of illusion. And that is why they support the pedophile messiahs program, they think the guru parampara is full of mundane and contaminated fools, who engaged in sinful acts, and it is not exclusively pure devotees. Now they are taking their bodily identity idea to -- the cows? ys pd
========
(Excerpt from 'Brahmana & Vaishnava' by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur)
"There are four varnas - brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, and sudra. According to the statements of the Vedas, the brahmanas are the highest class. This is confirmed by the smrtis as well. Therefore the question now comes: Who is a brahmana? The living entity, the body, the caste, the knowledge, the activities, or the religionist - of these, which is the brahmana?
If it is proposed that the living entity is the brahmana, that is not correct. The living entity remains the same in the past, present, or future. Though he receives various types of bodies according to his karma, he remains unchanged. Therefore the living entity is not the brahmana.
Then is the body the brahmana? No, it is not. The bodies of human beings down to the candala are all made of the same five gross elements. Therefore birth and death and religion and irreligion equally effect all bodies, and since there is no law that the brahmanas are white, the ksatriyas are red, the vaisyas are yellow, and the sudras are black, the body is therefore not the brahmana.
Moreover, when the son of a brahmana burns the body of his dead father, he does not commit the sin of killing a brahmana. Therefore the body is not the brahmana. So, then, is caste the brahmana? No, this is also not the case. Many great sages have been born of other living entities. Rsyasrnga was born from a deer, Kausika was born from kusa grass, Jambuka Rsi was born from a jackal, Valmiki was born from an ant hill, Vyasadeva was born from a fisherman's daughter, Gautama was born from the back of a rabbit, Vasistha was born from Urvasi, and Agastya was born from a pitcher.
Apart from these personalities, there are many other wise persons born from other castes who became sages. Therefore caste is not the brahmana. So, then, is knowledge the brahmana? No, it is not that either. Because many persons, such as some ksatriyas, were very learned and knew the Absolute Truth. Therefore knowledge is also not the brahmana.
Then are activities the brahmana? No, they are not. Because every living entity shares the common nature of having to suffer the matured reactions of his karma that come to him in the future. By karma, human beings are engaged in further karma.
Therefore activities are not the brahmana. Then is the religionist the brahmana? No, he is not. Because many ksatriyas give gold in charity. Therefore the religionist is not the brahmana. Then who is the brahmana?
Anyone who knows the Self as one; devoid of mundane caste, qualities, and activities; devoid of contamination by the six enemies and six waves; the personification of transcendental knowledge and bliss; beyond duality, yet the basis of all material dualities; the Supersoul of all living entities; all-pervading inside and outside like the vast sky; endowed with uninterrupted bliss; immeasurable; known only through spiritual realization; and directly self-manifesting one who directly realizes the Self (as one sees an amlaki fruit in the palm of his hand), who lives always satisfied, devoid of faults like lust and anger, who posesses qualities like peacefulness and self-control, who is devoid of envy, the thirst for material enjoyment, illusion, and other faults, and who is untouched by pride, false ego, and so on - such a person is a brahmana.
This is also the opinion of the srutis, smrtis, Itihasas, Puranas, and other scriptures. Otherwise one cannot be a real brahmana. The Upanisads instruct us that the Supreme Soul is sac-cid-ananda and the Absolute Truth, one without a second."
PADA: Wishing all a Happy and Merry Christmas time. There are people who complain that PADA is promoting the worship of a pure devotee because PADA is "like the Christians who promote Jesus."
Well yep! The Christians have their system down correctly, worshiping a pure devotee is the ONLY authorized system made by God. It is rather odd the ISKCON GBC people keep telling us that worshiping a pure devotee is a bogus idea, because we are not helping them promote their program -- of worship of illicit sex with men, women and children deviants as God's messiahs. That is not the system. Srila Prabhupada says -- Jesus is my brother, and his idea is what I accept and believe as well.
And that is also why we have to give eternal gratitude thanks to these Christians. Their society, and in particular their FBI, Berkeley Police, Media, Courts and overall giving us shelter to exist, has kept us alive and functioning all this time.
Otherwise, the GBC's illicit sex messiah's program would have had erased us from the face of the earth a long time ago. So we are very grateful to Jesus and His followers, they saved us from an early grave and facilitated our program. Thus, when we see how Jesus is being remembered at Christmas time, it always helps us feel encouraged and enlivened.
Praise Jesus! ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com
PRABHUPADA ON CHRISTMAS
Now these Christmas holidays you have begun in your country. Throughout the whole month of December you'll observe nice festival, festivities. Why? Where it began? God consciousness. Lord Christ, he came to give you God consciousness, and in his relationship these festivities are going on. It may be degraded in another form, but the beginning is God consciousness.
But we have lost it. So people cannot be happy without reviving God consciousness. It may be named in a different way -- "Krsna consciousness." That means God consciousness. That is the necessity. He's trying to love somebody. That somebody's love will be perfected when he loves Krsna, or God.
We are teaching that. Try to love God, and if you love God, if you love Krsna, then automatically you love everybody. That is the perfection of love. The example is just like if you love your stomach, if you supply nice food to your stomach, that means you love all the parts of your body. If you supply foodstuff in the stomach, the energy is distributed in all parts of the body. That means you love all parts of the body. If you love the tree, you pour water on the root, and the water is distributed to the branches, fruits, flowers, leaves, everywhere.

PADA: Various observers inside and outside of the ISKCON child abuse issue agree, the abuse has been "industrial scale." Industrial scale abuse of children means basically one thing, or one logical conclusion, this has been a totally demoniac society. Someone told me this has been an anal reconstructive surgery epidemic process. Someone else said this has been Auschwitz for kids.
No normal society tolerates this level of abuse without taking steps to REMOVE THOSE RESPONSIBLE. In ISKCON, the exact opposite happens. the GBC leaders are given big golden seats, new laptops, private residences with servants, unlimited travel and health care expense, and they are worshiped as messiahs.
No wonder a large number of victims feel alienated, and some took their lives. The victims are getting little to none support, or they are branded as fringie outcastes, or people with bad karma, while the leaders are having their feet washed by servants etc. The levels of hypocrisy here is staggering, the victimizers are worshiped the victims are outcastes. And that explains how this became industrial level, it was enabled by many hand maidens. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

ISKCON TEMPLE COLLAPSE CRIMINAL PROBE
Veralam South Africa ISKCON Temple Collapse Update
As of late December 2025, formal criminal charges have not yet been finalized, but authorities have declared the site an active crime scene and signaled that criminal proceedings will be pursued against those found responsible.
Who is Under Investigation?
Investigations are focused on the parties responsible for the illegal construction and the structural failures identified in preliminary reports:
The Temple Trustees / Developers:
The eThinkwini Municipality revealed that it had rejected building plan applications from the site’s trustees twice — once in 2022 and again in 2023. Construction reportedly continued in direct defiance of several court orders to cease work.
The Builder and Material Suppliers: Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson stated that authorities are working to track down the specific builder and the supplier of the concrete used, which was described as "friable" and "substandard".
Engineers and Technical Personnel:
Investigators are examining the role of anyone who provided technical oversight for the project, as the construction was deemed "unauthorized and unsupervised".
Current Legal Status
Criminal Case: The South African Police Service (SAPS) has taken over the site to lead a criminal probe into possible negligence and unlawful construction.
Statutory Investigation: The Department of Employment and Labour is conducting a parallel investigation into health and safety violations.
Investigative Team: The same specialized team that investigated the 2024 building collapse in George has been brought in to lead the forensic and structural analysis.
Public Works Minister Macpherson has emphasized that "consequence management" will be implemented, and those who flouted regulations will face the full weight of the law once the final investigative reports are concluded.
PADA: Friable concrete? -- describes something that crumbles easily, breaks apart with little pressure, or turns to powder when rubbed. This was also our initial observation -- the concrete seems to have turned into powder because it was not the proper mix of ingredients.
Having our own amateur experience with concrete ourselves, it does not work properly if there is not the proper ratio of ingredients, proper amount of water in the mix and etc. OK it was not up to concrete building standard. That is why the rebar was left bare, the concrete just turned into dust, i.e. crumbled apart.
The chain of authority that authorized all this should lead to the GBC managers. ys pd

Why did Srila Prabhupada have his murtis placed on all vyasasans in every Iskcon temple?
The vyāsāsana is the seat of Vyāsadeva and can only be occupied by one who factually represents Srila Vyāsadeva. Srila Prabhupada had his murtis placed on all vyāsāsanas in every Iskcon temple because none of his disciples were fit to occupy the seat of Vyāsadeva. If they were fit to be seated on the vyāsāsana Srila Prabhupada would not have ordered his murti to be seated on every vyāsāsana.
There would have been no need for this.
If he were planing on his disciples taking his post, becoming the next acaryas upon his physical departure he would have left these vyāsāsanas empty, being confident that his disciples were competent to occupy the seat of Vyāsadeva upon his physical disappearance.
Because they were not fit to occupy this post, Srila Prabhupada had life size murtis of his Divine Grace made and placed on every single vyasasana throughout all of iskcon. This was Srila Prabhupada's way of making sure no rascal would attempt to artificially seat themselves on the vyasasana.
Srila Prabhupada knows past present and future. He knew he had some envious overly ambitious disciples who were eager to artificially take his seat as soon as they had the opportunity to do so. Srila Prabhupada outwitted them, of course. No fool can place himself higher than Srila Prabhupada, however much they my artificially attempt to do so. It is artificial, and will not stand. Srila Prabhupada's murtis however, will be seated for all eternity on the seat of Vyāsadeva, and worshiped as good as Lord Krishna Himself. These pretenders will not last, they will / are dying off. They will be forgotten.
However, Srila Prabhupada as the proper bonafide acarya and representative of Srila Vyāsadeva and Lord Sri Krishna will remain seated on the vyāsāsana of every Iskcon temple throughout the whole world and will be worshiped by all present and future generations to come. Such is the mercy of His Divine Grace.

Many are afraid of the most malefic planet Shani because generally he is associated with extreme sorrow and suffering. However, Shanideva himself has devised a way of solving this problem by obtaining the blessings of Lord Narasimha. Shanideva made anagreement with the Lord that he would never trouble those who recite his Narasimha Stuti when they are facing troubles related to dvaadashaashtamapancama (a situation where Shanikaata lasts for 7 1/2 births).
If one recites (or hears the video) with devotion Shani’s Shree Narasimha Stuti, especially on Shanivaara (Saturdays) and when Shani graha comes into one's life, one will please the Lord who is the Supersoul of Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all obstacles and suffering and bless His devotee.
Lord Narasimhadeva is easily accessible to the devotees and punishes those who are evil minded. He is the saviour for those who are helpless who desire to seek refuge in Him.
When the Celestials of innumerable planets bow down to His lotus feet, the bright jewels from their crowns are reflected on His toenails which gives the impression that lamps are being waved in front of them. Unto His lotus feet, Lord Shanideva prostrated and prayed (in the court of Lord Brahma).

On listening to the heartfelt prayer composed by Shanideva in the assembly of Lord Brahma, Lord Hari who is ever compassionate to His devotees, spoke to Shanideva as follows.

Shree Nrisimhadeva said – O Shani, I am pleased with your devotion. What ever you desire that will benefit the world, ask for that boon and I will grant it.

Shree Shanideva replied – O Lord Narasimha, O reservoir of compassion, please be kind to me. O Lord of all Celestials, let my day of the week (Saturday) be Your favourite day. O Purifier of all the worlds, may You fulfil the desires of all those who listen to or read this great prayer to You composed by me.”

Shree Nrisimhadeva said – O Shani, let it be so! By virtue of My being the universal protector (rakshobhuvana), I fulfil the desires of all My devotees. Please listen to My words let there be no fear of the twelfth and eighth birth positions consequentially any unfavorable birth positions and consequent troubles from you for anyone who reads or listens to this prayer to Me composed by you.

Then Shanideva replied to Lord Narahari that he would follow the Lord’s instructions. Then the joyful saints and sages present there (in Lord Brahma’s assembly) responded with cries of, ‘jaya, jaya!’”.
Shree Krishna told Dharmaraja, “Whoever listens to or recites this conversation between Shanideva and Lord Narasimha in the form of this prayer of devotion will definitely have all desires fulfilled and will always rejoice.”

Thus ends the prayers offered to the universal protector Shree Narasimha by the great soul
PADA: The question I get from the media folks all the time is -- if there were apparently 2,000 cases of serious child mistreatment, or more, how many cases were reported to the authorities? OK nearly zilch. That means the parents also did not report it. Yes the leaders are the main suspects, but many -- if not most -- of the rank and file are also negligent. I remember when we started the lawsuit many PARENTS were yelling in my face for "ruining ISKCON."
The blame goes a lot deeper than the leaders themselves. And many of those parents still hold a grudge against me even now, for advocating the issue. This is a society wide problem, not just the leaders. The result is -- many victims feel they did not get support and protection from -- any sector. And that is the main reason they are so far alienated, they feel they did not get support on any level, and let us face it, they didn't. One devotee told me his kid will never speak to him ever again, the kid blames the parent, and I told this devotee, his kid is correct. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com

AJIT KRISHNADASA STILL FOLLOWS HARIKESHA
PADA: Yeah prabhu, this was the same issue we had with Ajitkrsna and Torben in 2015. The ritvik idea is bogus, we need another guru. Sure, and who is the "other guru"? Name please! Nobody actually. Umm, why is it always "nobody is the guru" and he cannot be named? Or it is that they still follow the GBC gurus, or even Harikesha?
A female PADA reader said, let us be honest, they want to ban us Prabhupada devotees, because they want Prabhupada also banned. OK that is the impression this creates. But Ajit Krishna got his training from Harikesh, who was cruelly banning Srila Prabhupada devotees left, right and center, sometimes with tragic and terrible results for the children of those devotees.
And Ajit thinks following Harikesha's ideas of banning Srila Prabhupada devotees, and thus following Harikesha, is STILL the way forward today. Another woman wrote to tell me, once a female has her first sex encounter, she always has favorable emotions for that man, even if he turns out to be a violent jerk.
And she says this also happens to many ISKCON people. They get a bogus guru, their first encounter with a guru, but they remain favorable to that guy, or his ideas, even when he turns out to be a jerk. Same process. She says ISKCON suffers from "battered wife syndrome." Hee hee, well yup. ys pd

PADA: Oh oh pilgrims, Purujit has stolen Mukunda's Prabhupada book. I dunno, maybe it is the case. But Mukunda, IRM, HKC Jaipur, Mathura Pati and many others often steal the quotes and citations, and arguments, that we compiled in the 1980s. Worse, we had to pay to print Sulochana's "Guru Business," because he was broke. And Mukunda later cut and pasted the book we originally printed and distributed -- without ever giving us credit for publishing it in the first place.
But hey, I am not really looking for credit, but just wanted to make the record clear. We also advanced the child abuse issue, and then later on all sorts of people -- who were my former worst critics on this issue -- began to blow the emergency fog horn on that same issue. OK but only after stomping major jack boots on me beforehand. No credit ever given to us, no apology, no nothing -- except rarely.
Same thing with the changed books issue. People like Ajit Krishna stole that issue from us. Same thing with the poison issue, HKC Jaipur people like Kamasahanta blasted me for bringing it up. Then he began to promote it himself -- without giving us credit, or giving an apology for being a jerk on this issue from square one.
So there is a lot of theft of materials going on all the time. Am I unhappy with not getting credit? Well nope, actually I am just glad these issues are out there and even my opponents are using our stuff, albeit a little late in the game. Better they use our stuff than not.
Truth be told, getting credit can be dangerous to life and limb around ISKCON. We probably don't want much credit all the time in ISKCON land, since people who get credit for dissenting can end up dead. But the point is, this is clearly a case of one thief calling another thief a thief.
And as far as stealing materials and erasing history, our critics do that all day long. All of this is making the GBC people argue, the ritviks are always fighting -- so they are bogus. OK but are any of these people actually ritviks? I think a lot of them are self promoters riding on our issues coat tails to promote themselves.

PADA: I saw the video. NICE KIRTAN!
The League of Devotees is feeling festive at Hare Krishna Centre - Leicester, UK.
Leicester, United Kingdom
Christmas Kirtan - Leicester, UK - Saturday 20th December
Two of our member organisations - The Hare Krishna Project and Hare Krishna Centre - Leicester, UK - teamed up last night for a blissful evening of chanting, dancing, feasting and philosophy.
The League of Devotees is an international network of independent Hare Krishna temples and projects – supporting and encouraging one another – under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada.
Last night's kirtan event was held at 28 Evington Rd, Leicester - the home of Hare Krishna Centre - Leicester, UK (our first League of Devotees temple in the UK). The centre was packed out with kirtan lovers to sing-in the Christmas holidays...
"There is no such requirement that Japa should be silently and chanting should be be done differently. Loudly or silently, everything is all right. There is no such restriction. Only thing is that we should chant very attentively, hearing the vibration very distinctly."
PADA: OK so Ajit Krishna still says that he and Torben did the right thing banning me from the ISKCON History forum, because ritvik (worshiping Srila Prabhupada as the pure devotee) is bogus. He says we Prabhupada worshiping devotees need to be banned, kicked out, and there is nothing wrong doing that. Which is what Tamal said, and which is what Bhakti Vikas swami not only advocates -- BVKS supports suing the Prabhupada devotees to have them removed.
Evidently, Ajit implies at least -- we can worship more than one guru. OK implying that he has another guru. But worshiping another guru was never authorized by Srila Prabhupada, rather he said worshiping another guru is "spiritual prostitution and a personal insult to me." I heard him say that in person in India.
Ajit Krishna says that Srila Prabhupada's statements in this regard "make no logical sense." What? Srila Prabhupada was actually crying when he told us that, this is spiritual prostitution. Sorry this is very logical.
So it appears that Ajit Krishna is still with the Jayapataka GBC siddhanta camp, we can have another guru -- other than -- Srila Prabhupada. But he refuses to name that other guru, most likely, because if he does, we will identify that guru as deviated. Srila Prabhupada says not naming the guru is mayavada. And Ajit complained that makes no logical sense either. Srila Prabhupada makes no sense?
But Ajit and Jayapataka have the same exact idea, they both think the ritviks need to be kicked out, banned, removed -- which is what Jayapataka is doing to us as well. The Jayapataka goondas kicked us out, and so does Ajit.
Yeah lets kick out the bogus people who worship Srila Prabhupada, which is really just another GBC pt. II. He says my logic is faulty. Nope, kicking out the Srila Prabhupada devotees, the checks and balances Srila Prabhupada intended to act as a sort of second tier watchdog group, is how we got the changed books and changed everything else.
If Ajit wants to ban and kick out people for the crime of worshiping a pure devotee, he has never left the GBC camp. The only good news is that he has gone over to the mayavada "not naming the guru" camp, and I admit -- the mayavadas are better than the GBC. I give them some credit.
The ritviks are bogus because they are not mayavadas, not spiritual prostitutes, and can name their guru. And that is why they need to be banned. We cannot have people naming a pure devotee as their guru, lets us ban them! So that is no different than the GBC / BVKS banning policy, which means Ajit has not learned from his mistake of promoting these deviants and their corrupt policies in the first place.
But if we ban the whistle blowers on the changed books, the pedophile problem, the changed deity pooja, the bogus appointment and other problems, then those problems have no checks and balances, which is what happened in ISKCON. And that is why those problems rose to become prominent, and hi-jacked the entire agenda.
OK so we need to ban the whistle blowers on these problems, then we wonder why these problems become widespread? As the Berkeley police told me in 1986, the people who oppose you are feeding the criminal problems (like child abuse) by silencing the critics. Of course this is all a hysterical joke for Bhakti Vikas types, and Ajit is also showing me he thinks all this is a comedy show with a smiley face meme. He has never left the GBC.
Rather oddly, after kicking me off the ISKCON forum, Ajit now wants me to show the transcripts of our discussions there, which he erased from my view? So yeah, he is just another version of Bhakti Vikas swami, ban the Srila Prabhupada devotees, and then we have all sorts of problems when the check and balance is removed. I don't need to show where Ajit promoted Bhakti Vikas swami's "banning" policy in the past, because Ajit has the same policy now. There is no difference between Ajit's current policy and BVKS's -- that I can see at all.
A devotee recently said he can no longer afford health care because his premium went more than double, and he says -- removing health care will cause him and millions of others -- to suffer and -- die. OK so removing and banning the system that helps contain criminal things will make everything worse. And it has.
Same thing, removing us whistle blowers caused all these other problems, and made them exponentially worse. Then the "reformers" -- including Ajit Krishna dasa and BVKS -- make pretend they are trying to fix these problems -- which they helped create with their banning the whistle blowers program.
The other amazing thing is that when this all started, I asked them to identify and name their "other" guru, and they never have. They are just upset and angry when someone worships a pure devotee. And they are thus another version of GBC guru clones who want to suppress and remove us, so they are basically still BVKS parrots.
Anyway, this is good, Ajit says that the policy of forbidding the worship of pure devotees is correct, the worshipers of pure devotees need to be banned. And that is why ISKCON has become the mess it is. Another devotee says, they never name their "other" guru because they would rather have people worship no one and nothing than Srila Prabhupada. They are envious of his being worshiped. Yep, worship no one -- which is mayavada, and which Srila Prabhupada says is covert atheist.
Told ya!

LD: The ritviks? Are the SAME people who started the changed books argument in 1980s. And started KBI. And! Are only people ... on earth ... who even have original books! Need to get rid of them! And their books are gone too! That helps the book changers. They really do not want this problem solved. They want to get rid of the ritviks ... and that gets rid of original books. Method to the madness. Get rid of us? Eliminates the books. Jayadvaita's problem solved!
Not "naming their guru" ... because we will find out? Their guru's hands are dirty. And their hands are all already dirty for getting rid of us. They have no authority to ban the worship of pure devotees ... and worship some dubious clowns. Anyone who worships pure devotees has to be banned, Ajit is another BVKS. both posing as reformers.

BHAKTI CARU SWAMI [BCS] INITIATION
a) BCS states that initiation is being given on behalf of Srila Prabhupada:
“And I am giving you initiation on behalf of ISKCON, on behalf of Prabhupada. […] On behalf of Srila Prabhupada I give you your spiritual name, Parama Karuna Dasa, […] So, your name on behalf of Srila Prabhupada I am giving as Nama Chintamani dasi,"
b) No mention is made of making any vow to BCS, and BCS speaks of only making a commitment to Srila Prabhupada, but never to himself:
“And your commitment to Srila Prabhupada will be shown by how sincerely you are practising the process.”
c) The ceremony consisted of chanting of Brahma-samhita, lecture about initiation and surrender, acamana (preparation for fire sacrifice), fire sacrifice, explanation of and making vows for chanting 16 rounds, giving of spiritual names, and explanation of avoiding the ten offenses while chanting.
Ritvik initiation
The initiate would go through the same procedure above and become initiated by Srila Prabhupada. One can verify this by checking the Bhaktivedanta Vedabase – for example “Lecture and initiation, Seattle, 20th October, 1968”.
In most initiations, especially in later years, the ceremony was not conducted by Srila Prabhupada personally, but by a representative such as a temple president, just as BCS is doing here. In this latter case the spiritual name would be first received via a letter from Srila Prabhupada, or after July 9th, 1977, from one of the 11 appointed ritvik priests, who would accept the disciple and give the spiritual name on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, just as BCS has done here.
Role in life of initiate
BCS initiation
“You want to take initiation from me, but how often we will meet? I think I came to Germany after four years? The Prabhupada installation was? Five years, okay, yes, five years. So, if I come after five years, what will you do for those five years? The question naturally arises, then Maharaja, why are you giving initiation?
[…] I agreed with one confidence. That ISKCON is there to take care of you. […] And you stay fixed up in ISKCON. Because, you see, you will hardly have my association. What is going to happen to your spiritual life, if you are simply depending upon me?”
Ritvik initiation
As above, when one got initiated on behalf of Srila Prabhupada via his representative during Srila Prabhupada’s physical presence, the initiate may or may not see or take guidance from that representative, but rather would depend on the physical association of all the other devotees in ISKCON.
BCS initiation
“Actually what attracted you to spiritual life is Srila Prabhupada. The devotees you met, they are Prabhupada’s devotees, ISKCON devotees means Prabhupada’s devotees. The books that you read are Prabhupada’s books. You are being sheltered by Prabhupada’s arrangement, in the form of ISKCON.
[…] The point is: Always try to remember that Srila Prabhupada is your main spiritual shelter.”
[…] And read Prabhupada’s books every day. Why is reading Srila Prabhupada’s books so important? When you read Prabhupada’s books, Prabhupada is guiding you. And Prabhupada’s vani is manifest in his books. Did you ever try this? You have any difficulty, you are in a difficult situation and you just opened Prabhupada’s books to direct you as if Prabhupada is directing you, giving you the answer. Prabhupada is still here in the form of his vani. Prabhupada’s vani is manifest in the form of his books.”
Ritvik initiation
As above, those initiated by Srila Prabhupada during his physical presence, whether via a representative or not, would have had their main association with Srila Prabhupada via his books, since, most of his disciples never met him.
Relationship with initiate
BCS initiation
BCS states he is not acting as the diksa guru, who connects the disciple to Krishna, but is connecting the initiate to Srila Prabhupada.
“And then you decided to accept me as your Guru. Then what is my duty as your Guru? To connect you to Srila Prabhupada. […] And Guru’s business is meant to be your transparent via-medium. And generally the Guru acts as a transparent via-medium between the disciple and Krishna. But here I am acting as a transparent via-medium between you all and Srila Prabhupada.”
Ritvik initiation
When one got initiated by Srila Prabhupada during his physical presence via his representative, this representative was not the diksa guru, since he did not connect one to Krishna. Rather, the representative merely helped the initiate to connect formally to Srila Prabhupada via the medium of the formal initiation ceremony. And as noted, this is how BCS has defined his relationship with the initiate (even though he has used the word “guru” for this.)
Conclusion
If BCS had agreed to obey Srila Prabhupada’s orders, and become authorised by the GBC to become his ritvik representative, and carry out initiations according to the procedure given in Srila Prabhupada’s July 9th 1977 directive, he could have carried out the ceremony as he did here. Conversely, someone wishing to become initiated by Srila Prabhupada could have participated in this ceremony, and think he was initiated as Srila Prabhupada’s disciple!
Hence, due to the efforts of the IRM, with the battle having been won philosophically, the ISKCON gurus are being forced to effectively concede defeat by reinventing themselves as glorified ritviks. However, they continue cheating by ensuring the benefits of being treated as diksa gurus stay intact.
This is all part and parcel of the evolution of ‘The Great Guru Hoax’, from Part 1 - labelled as acaryas – to Part 2 - labelled as “humbler” diksa gurus - to Part 3 – even acting and being labelled as ritviks. In this way the guru hoax has continued to mutate and survive, with each new version merely offering a different vehicle by which to achieve the same goal of controlling men, money and properties, with such control either remaining intact or merely changing hands.
D Dasi: Absolutely… They just want all the worship and all the recognition and all the money and attention but basically telling them they're not taking the responsibility of the disciples karma because they hand them over to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada acting like it's on his behalf. So they want all the rewards and fruit of results and they want His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to take all the karma. They are just crooked businessmen disguising themselves as genuine followers.
Good luck on that one! No matter how much trickery or word jugglery they give… It doesn't change what they are actually doing. I guess they don't understand that Krishna is in everybody's heart and knows exactly what's going on.
CMD: Sounds like ritvik by stealth.
PADA: Yeah Trivrikrama was yelling in 1990 that the GBC policy of restricting acharyas is the same as the ritvik idea and is thus "another name for ritvik." ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com
