Bhakti Vikas Swami's 2025 Report Card 09 04 25

 


PADA: angel108b@yahoo.com


SP: Once again it goes on to show for public display how much out of touch these mis-leaders like BVKS are. There is a full-blown march in keeping the gullible and the psychologically vulnerable (loyal followers) in line. BVKS ruthlessly, with cavalier attitude, will go on to gaslight over and over again. 

He's aware, he knows and deliberately dodging what's at stake for the current crumbling institution - - namely that when it comes to victims of child abuse who decide to step up and share their heartshattering stories to the public; the response to that will ultimately always go with the usual hammering down of the victim(s), victim blaming and shaming, which is elucidated once again in full apathetic manner by none other than a abuse - enabler Bhakti Vikasa Swami in this short clip which was recently recorded and posted -- and yet what to speak of the ironic title of that video itself alone!

SK: Kali chelas turned into Spiritual leaders...

GK: Weird body language. The way BVKS nervously rocks while talking, means he is pacifying himself.

DD: Rocking back and forth, the way Hitler would do when he was lecturing.

AP: Then Krishna also tells arjuna to fight when encountered with injustice.. BVKS fights with the victims.

DT: This is spiritual bypassing, not wisdom. Telling people who’ve been abused to “just get over it” and stop “moaning” isn’t strength — it’s deflection. Survivors speaking up isn’t a victim mindset; it’s the first step toward healing and accountability.

And while he speaks of peace, he rocks constantly throughout the video — it doesn’t sit right. That’s not the stillness of someone grounded in truth. It feels uneasy, unstable — like his own energy is unsettled by what he’s saying.

The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t teach us to ignore harm. Krishna didn’t say “keep quiet” — he urged Arjuna to take right action. Facing injustice isn’t anger — it’s clarity. Ignoring it is cowardice.

BB: We are always the angry and materialistic people, while the enablers of the abuse are saints.

DS: Mayybe he's on some, ah, "stimulants" like other GBC swamis ...

PD: Yeah, we told Bhakti Vikas right at the start none of us are qualified to take karma. But he wanted his God brothers to take karma, and Srila Prabhupada said if we do so, we will get sick, fall down or both. Many of them left their bodies early. 

Bhakti Tritha was another person who thought he could absorb sins like Jesus. His followers said he was suffering from taking their sins, and he was, but Srila Prabhupada says -- if we take sins we will have to suffer, and they are. Just look at the state of BVKS karma vaccum cleaner JPS. ys pd

WS: I have 0 respect to Bhakti Vikash Swami who in the 90s kept writing and gave his bhagavatan class to the first generation of us Kulies that started the case towards ISKCON. I remember reading that all of them destroyed his limited understanding of what it means being abused. 

I don't think that he will ever understand -- and based on his way of speaking -- one should just tolerate all these abusers and keep providing for their life style -- including his -- without complaining about it. I would like to know what he will think about it if he was abused as a young boy, or his brother, sister or son. Will he preach the same? In another words in my limited understanding he is full of BS just like I once said about Bhakti Vidyapurna swami. Victims of abuse need to stop complaining, so us and our friends can continue to suck money off ISKCON.

PD: Yes, Bhakti Vikas swami is the sannyasa disciple of Jayapataka, who is a big defender of the predators in Mayapur. And Bhakti Vikas swami was one of the people who said I should not criticize Jayapataka when he wanted to keep a disciple predator named Jayatirtha in the guru seat. They seem to have much sympathy for predators and not much sympathy for the victims. 

Bhakti Vikas said Bhakti Vidhya Purna did a lot of service, so BVP gets to be glorified, whereas us whistle blowers are always the troublesome problem. Simply stated, he is on the wrong side and has been all along. A predator is not, was not, could not have been God's successor, nor are the defenders of predators God's successors, and some of BVKS's followers recently wrote to complain to me "You have no documents" to prove that predators and / or their cheer leaders were never God's successors. Whereas any Joe six pack USA citizen already knows predators are criminals, with no documents needed. ys pd

AP: Mass Gaslighting (again)! ๐Ÿ˜ก

VM: hmmm...I agree there are many problems in iskcon and especially around the child abuse issues, however I think that this needs to be placed in context ... what he's speaking is actually very much in line with the teachings of our acharya's, weather relates to the child abuse issues are not as separate question, generally what he's speaking is spot on.

I don't think it's fair to say he is gaslighting people with what he's speaking, when it comes to a specific cases and individuals that's a different story and I don't know about the Swami's actions. But taken at face value I don't think there's anything wrong with this class, on the other hand yes in specific instances it's clear that the institution and the leaders are lacking in empathy, so on some level I can agree, but I'm not sure this particular clip proves anything

ML Dasi: BVKS is a demon in disguise, what kind of Swami are you talking about? BVKS has for some time been the most extreme, insane, clearly disturbed swami there is. He published a book about iskcon then banned from sale in iskcon temples because it advocated what is today known as child labor and labor exploitation, and maybe child marriage as well. People like him ever rising to power is a scathing indictment of the whole entity.

AP: CH's comment in this post. That’s all you need to know about him.

AP#2: I know him personally. Yes, when he fought with ISKCON with their wrong doings, he was shut out. I don't agree that he is not making a stand against child abuse and associating with some of them, I do believe that he is ignorant in this field. 

But in many other areas , he practises what Prabhupada instructed. Making sweeping statements about a person on social media is not just. Why don't you pick others who are hugging women, holding bank accounts and exploiting the system deviating from sincere teachings? Hold them accountable as well, instead of picking on one person.

BB: You mean we should pick on the people BVKS enables as co-gurus? I am not hitting you, my stick is? He is always hanging around with Radhanath, Jayapataka, and he spoke favorable of Bhakti Vidya Purna. He is with them.
 
M Dasi: Happy to name them, BVKS associates, as they have been by many on this page and others. The list is so long that the simplest way to name them is ‘most of the GBC, numerous Gurus, many, many Temple Presidents and Managers across ISKCON’. It’s undeniable.

And, this posting is not ‘sweeping statements’, it’s about this person. Diffusing it out to ‘what about everyone else?’ is asking for ‘sweeping statements’. This has tended to diffuse many posts ping ponging quotes from shastra to support ‘trends and themes’, and no one is ever accountable.

His stating, ‘used and abused’, highlights he knows that issues raised include abuse, and he has prepared his speech to gaslight it under the pretext of shastra.
He sat with, ‘honoured’, fawned over, hugged and gave access to children to one of the most disgusting excuses for a human being; a convicted, jailed, and then repeat child sexual abuser.

For someone who is apparently so ‘learned and wise’, it is laughable to think he didn’t know about his ‘honoured guest’s’ past when inviting him to Salem Temple. 
He has also excused the behaviour of other abusers and protected them too.

And to reduce myself to my known bluntness verging on/or rudeness…what’s with the non-stop rocking and quite frankly, the not-remotely-effulgent cadaverous appearance? 

AP#3 The Majority of the current leadership, sadly, apears to suffer from similar moral deficiency. As if it was contagious -- they served for years, they sacrificed, and so many did many wonderful things too. But many also did at least one very bad thing. They remind me of coach Paterno in Penn State scandal; for example. And some more of VIP Floridian Palm Beach and also Harvard and Manhattan crowd - Epstein and Ghislaine. They have the same deficient friends.

SB: This swami kow-tows to the G.B.C. narrative. He is non-different from just about any other swami in the said organization except for indulging in different form of imitation of what apparently is the "conservative right" wing. Ding ding ding: there is NO such thing as conservative right wing in that cult. 

It is ultimately leftist. BVKS is required not to criticize the G.B.C. and to accept them totally in order to maintain one's status as "guru". So, the question then is to be asked: what self-respecting person would ever do such a thing?

CH: He also a Rascal. He allowed a Repeat Sex Offender to stay at his Temple & School in Salem. Completely dismissing warnings of Senior devotees & devotees on Child Protection Teams & other devotees who are concerned for the welfare of children in Iskcon. Srila Prabhupada would be very angry ๐Ÿ˜  at the fact he's not protecting Vaisnava Children. He's A Rogue! Can't understand basic teaching that Srila Prabhupada repeatedly said. 

These Children that come to Iskcon or the Path of Bhakti should be gently encouraging children & others on there path of spiritual life. Not forced to chant or be denied the basics. Prasadam Loving Care & Protect them. Not Sexually Abused or beat Children Violently! Or emotionally abuse them. He makes me sick in stomach or want to Vomit ๐Ÿคข ๐Ÿคข angry ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜ก ๐Ÿ‘ฟ with these demons in the disguise of devotee.

You have No Idea his actions are Appalling. He's A Fool. BVKS hasn't learnt anything except blabber on as if he's some Elevated Swami -- Guru. RED ALERT!!! this Man is Constantly Gaslighting people. He's not following Srila Prabhupada instructions in regards to Kulis. No compassion or real understanding of children teenagers etc that need support after going through. Torture Sexually Abuse Emotional Manipulation of Children and Adults Grhastas wanting to protect. He's Actually further Abusing Kulis that have been through 4 / 5 decades of Abuse.. He's a Sick Twisted ๐Ÿ˜ซ Thing ..

Y Dasi: Yes, it’s fair, that’s what he is doing. That’s what they’ve done for decades and only now do we realize it!

MK: It's more his general attitude toward women and his constant gaslighting of victims that is trying to be pointed out here. He has a history of being very callous toward the survivors of abuse. He will happily recite the past times of Prahlada Mahajah surviving abuse from demonic teachers, but he gives no consideration or empathy for the survivors of abuse in ISKCON gurukulas. 

The modern day vaishnava kids that suffered are actually praiseworthy. Their glories should be recited like those of Prahlada Maharaja, yet instead these kids are treated like they are the problem. BVKS is a key individual who has sheltered predators and silenced the victims. Can you imagine hearing a class about Prahlada Mahajah where Prahlada gets labeled a whiny victim? No way. It would never happen. There is massive cognitive disconnect in ISKCON, and it is perpetrated by swamis like BVKS. He is guilty of the gravest of sins.

GP Dasi: Telling abuse survivors to “get over it” lets ISKCON dodge accountability and protect abusers. The “stop playing the victim” line is so unjustified. As if someone wants to dwell on the abuse they endured. Why isn’t he saying, “get help and hopefully you can move on”. His “just get over it” line has been twisted to silence victims and block reform and the ability to manage any risks from abusers. I don’t understand why any devotees listen to him. It’s baffling.

He needs to “get over” his annoyance at these victims.

CM Dasi: Absolutely! He hasn't got a clue! Where is his mercy and compassion, empathy and care?.. Drowned out by his arrogance no doubt!

BH: Advocates of abuse...

DD: This is the complete lesson on YouTube ..... by enabling automatic translation you will be able to listen to it in the chosen language

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCK61zQ4I2Q

CM: Is this swami on the autism spectrum? He rocks side to side throughout the video ... is he nervous from speaking lies?

CH Dasi: He's On The Demon ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Spectrum!

PD: Yeah, BVKS supported Jayapataka when we were having JPS sued for $400,000,000, saying we were overly exaggerating the problems and were causing bad publicity. Then he supported JPS spending $20,000,000 suing the free food for children program leaders, so they could shut down a free food program. He is a party man and he supports the wrong party. But he also said Bhakti Vidya Purna did a lot of service, as if creating suffering for children is service. JPS ran at me yelling when we were suing him, he wanted to punch me but knew I would have him arrested if he did. ys pd

VK: “Kick on their face with shoes”-Srila Prabhupada

NJ: This man is so disturbed. Has been for a long time. One of his disciples reached out to me a few years ago to talk to me about MULTIPLE schools that are run within his communities that don’t even have ANY oversight (or sometimes awareness) from larger iskcon. I hope someone “uses and abuses” him and he gets over it. Disgusting human.

SR: BVKS talks about learning from past mistakes ... Unfortunately it is evident that he hasn't learnt a thing from 50 years of ISKCON's mistakes!!!

MB: Schizophrenic swaying back n forth. Disturbed or haunted person.

RS: What a jerk! He has no idea of the harm that he and his ilk have caused.

SKC: BVKS used to condemn Bakti Tirtha swami so many times, He condemned RNS journey book, BVKS used to criticize Iskcon openly in SB classes ...

BVKS lectures :::

Thus ISKCON, which is meant to kick out cheating religion from the world, itself degrades into a cheap cult, an apa sampradaya, a laughing stock, and a disgrace to Srila Prabhupada and the parampara."

(Bhakti Vikasa Swami, 23/8/2003, PAMHO Text 7160564)

LP: Je pense que je n'aurai pas joint un jour si j'avais vu รงa avant ...

SNP: Creepy guy. Very.

CL: BVKS is a gas lighter. He is also not authorized by Srila Prabhupada to be a diksa Guru in ISKCON. All disciples he initiated are in fact Srila Prabhupada diciples. They won’t tell you they were only authorized to initiate into ISKCON and anyone they initiate are immediately Srila Prabhupada diciples. He is however an older devotee and Siksa Guru. All devotees initiated by any Guru in ISKCON are Srila Prabhupada disciples. They cannot give Diksa as Srila Prabhupada said they can’t.

ATB: He always had a problem with being a key hold child ... another words his mother was never there when he came home from school ... he became very bitter of that ... why he has no respect for women.

BB: But he has plenty of respect for the homosexual and pedophile guru system he supports.

HA: I think he has puffed up think I’m better than everyone else issues. Demonic. Which is why the GBC makes him their guru ...

GND: Just wondering, how do you know what his childhood was like?

AB: BVKS would talk about it in lectures.

DS: There's a Joe Rogan clip, he says "Did you ever see the video of Hitler tweeking? Put it up, Jamie." And they show the video of Adolph sitting in the audience watching the Berlin Olympics, and he's rocking frantically back and forth, obviously "speeding" his brains out on amphetamines. Super buzzed. Joe says, "Look at him tweeking, man!" BVKS looks the same!

So when devotees look like they're tweeking, what are they on? Substances? Or buzzed from spiritual energy? Or in this case, extreme excitement and satisfaction of gaslighting victims and squashing them down. Rubbing salt in the victims' wounds must be such a "high" for these creatures.

GK: I asked AI what this rocking from side to side could mean? Fast, repetitive side-to-side rocking—especially in an adult speaking publicly—often signals inner agitation or self-soothing. It can be: Stress discharge – a subconscious way to burn off nervous energy when under internal pressure.

Anxiety or discomfort – the body’s attempt to regulate itself when feeling defensive or trapped.

Incongruence leak – when the words and the deeper emotional state don’t match, the body “leaks” the tension through movement.

Given your description—that he’s delivering a controlling, dismissive message—it could suggest that he’s not as internally at ease as his words aim to project. Rocking that’s fast rather than slow usually reads more as agitation than calm contemplation.

I wouldn’t overstate it as a single tell, but in the context you described, it fits with someone trying to keep themselves steady while saying something they know may trigger pushback.

ABD: In full positivity, I can state that this ISKCON leader is part of the problem, in his smiling avoiding of the reality of ISKCON's egregious record of child abuse. He wants victims to be quiet; and their abusers to continue with full respect as leaders of ISKCON. This man is evil.

TT Dasi: He’s completely blind to “reading the room” of ISKCON and needs his mouth sewn shut.

MF Dasi: Shame! This is an Isckon representative speaking about devotee children who suffered abuse. “ in the mode of a ignorance, taking some perverse pleasure in being unhappy”

AP#4 I'm actually traumatised by listening to this person. This person does not understand the internal mental grief that a victim of abuse has. My father was physically abused by his father and he still feels great pain over it. But my grandfather passed away and my father inherit property. Those young people who have been victims must be compensated to assuage their internal torture. 

This person in orange is sociopathically damaged to speak in such a way openly openly about victims of abuse. My father's inheritance assuaged his grief towards his father somewhat. A compensation of sorts is needed. I feel very tempted to drag this person from his high seat and shake him Into human grief reality.

AP# 5: Thank you for sharing that screenshot of article about him condemning and criticising Bhakti Tirtha Swami. If that is authentic, it is very disappointing. I'm not surprised he started going on the offensive against very different preachers. I think he was trying to provoke Bhakti Tirtha being expelled. So he doesnt appear he seceded. But against BTS - that is new and really unnecessary, avoidable. So undiplomatic with slightly petty sounding mistake.

Yet, BVKS never went against ex BVPS. In fact he openly supported him.

MM: Ima puke!

GK: Actually he doesn't understand that victim mentality and injustice trauma are 2 different things. He is just brushing the injustice under the rug, blaming victim mentality, blaming internet

DD: A clever preacher who manages to play on the razor's thread ... always remaining very careful not to touch Iskon to keep western supports and devotees, but criticizing it harshly in the name of a return to a pseudo orthodoxy and vedic culture betrayed by demonic modernity ..... a character to be monitored carefully!

AP 47: But with his praising "positive talking" and judging harshly "victimhood mentality and "negativity talking" ; still, around 80% of Maharaja's narrative here is describing his own behavior.
 
He was the one, a pioneer of negativity dwelling and critiquing.

He has spent years preaching in his "brutalist" style, when one recipe has to work for everyone .He is the one known for using at minimum , mildly negative, indirect- (without names ) critique constantly.He also went step much further. His negative talk levels up a while ago.He

turned it into constant, systematic fault-finding "pastime" .BVKS was the one who actually introduced ( within ISKCON), combo of campaigns of open public badmouthing of his colleagues, and if they had any, their spiritual projects.BVKS especially went after those living in some form im of independency.With his growingly agressive attempts of picking up unreasonably strong, very public fights.

One has to give credit to him-he was boldly punching up, occasionally.

His targets started including such variety of his colleagues and godbrothers; with such strong attempts to instigate public argument - to the point that it was becoming confusing what his real motive is .

Maybe his "negativity campaigns " started as his righteous complaint of "watering down "-from his perspective of purist and tradionalist; but when we add it up; it start to resemble something else.More of machinating , building enough pressure ,with years of passive - aggressive public complaints towards being permitted full autonomy .

MK: Ugh! I can't even get through more than a few seconds without feeling totally sick to my stomach! Repulsive ramblings of a person with no compassion! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคข

HA: He’s an ISKCON guru, what are you all expecting?

ID: Sounds like the Roman Catholic Church ... forgive the offenders and not the victims.

MK: I never liked him. He always shames women and says the most hateful points. I lost my faith listening to lectures like his. How can a purified soul have such a callous heart towards the survivors of abuse? The most hypocritical part for me is that he will recite the past times of Prahlada Mahajah being abused by his demoniac teachers, yet the modern day Vaishnava children who get abused aren't even allowed to talk about it! It's literally the SAME situation as what Prahlada Mahajah went through. I conclude that BVKS has zero spiritual vision. If you can't see the Bhagavatam in action in real life when it is clearly presented to you, then you have no spiritual vision. The Vaishnava kids that were abused in the gurukulas are an example of what happened to Prahlada Mahajah. Wake up ISKCON!!!

GP: We see by the public statements made Many gurus sanyas and other management personnel accept abuse of children as normal in society and not something to complain about, they state clearly by acting and words there alliance and support is for the abuser's and the victims are wrong to complain about abuse. This man says exactly as above.

SH: He looks like he is turning into a slug that hides under dirty damp rocks... I feel physically ill looking at him and hearing his condescending babble.. How does any one with love and compassion for others sit and give him the time of day.. Disgraceful

SS: Yah! What's with all the rocking back and forth? Looks like a mental patient.

ND: Correct. Why is he shaking all the time? Looks weird.

AP 47: With all due respect, but the mass-mentality attitude towards child abuse survivors, organisation's (ISKCON's) cadre shows it's constitutes of large number of spirtual version of drill sargenats. Some regions have history of being ruled by them, setting it as ideal standard. Nearly identical "drill sargeant " raport" with subordinates was common. It apparently was considered by large portion of management as ideal standard. (Obviously, we remove vulgar terms towards white "mlechas" only; require of obedience only by Gurus disciples to BDSM.

PD: Oh oh, better not reject our authority, or else -- you are going to Hades in a hand basket. Ooops, or are we going to Hades in a hand basket following you guys? Heh heh. 

These bad actors keep re-inventing themselves as saints over and over, and Bhakti Vikas swami and his pals are the enablers and facilitators of all this mess. As soon as we clean up one dirty spot, that make ten new dirty spots. No wonder so many people are fried and frustrated with this lot. ys pd

CL: Always ignore this one. He is a fake guru not authorized by Srila Prabhupada. All disciples you initiated are Srila Prabhupada disciples.

KD: Just reading his body language: unable to sit still, blocked by a physical barrier and electronics, far from other human beings, and stone-face lack of empathy and compassion, aside from his victim-blaming, denigration and his own self-righteous criticism of devotees...

Trauma-informed leadership is not even within the realm...
