APD: With great sadness, we must inform the community that Sriman Uttam Krishna Prabhu (India) has been added to the list of our reports. Uttam Krishna Das presents himself as a peaceful "brahmachari" monk, but in practice, he likes to surround himself with young girls with whom he constantly chats privately and even receives from them some letters inappropriate for a “celibate” monk.
When the scandal of BV Vana and his sect of thugs came to light, Uttam Krishna chose to cling to his selfish share of influence over others rather than to reality. Therefore, unfortunately, we now have to make public the deception of this false monk so that the community may know the truth and decide whether or not to continue being around him, especially if they have young daughters.

While the power brokers in the spiritual marketplace are churning out "official" credentials, a quiet substitution is taking place behind the scenes. At the Moscow Book Fair (Indian pavilion, supported by the Embassy and the Ministry of Culture), we were once again presented with a "complete library" of Srila Prabhupada—but the truth is far from on display. Below are facts, documents, and questions that the organizers and "official" publishers are unwilling to discuss.
ANOTHER FAKE SADHU?
During his previous visit to Chile, and given that we were friends, I (Janardan) discovered one of those letters and saw it with my own eyes. After that, I tried to speak with him to offer my support and make him aware of the danger of his situation, hoping he would reflect and step down from his platform as a “celibate preaching monk,” considering that in some countries he is even treated almost as a guru.

RUSSIAN NEWS: BBT, changes Prabhupada books, and the "Indian" facade at the Moscow International Book Fair—who is replacing Prabhupada and why? An expose.
While the power brokers in the spiritual marketplace are churning out "official" credentials, a quiet substitution is taking place behind the scenes. At the Moscow Book Fair (Indian pavilion, supported by the Embassy and the Ministry of Culture), we were once again presented with a "complete library" of Srila Prabhupada—but the truth is far from on display. Below are facts, documents, and questions that the organizers and "official" publishers are unwilling to discuss.
In short: there is historical, legal, and editorial confusion between the various organizations using the BBT brand; at the same time, independent researchers and a number of former and current devotees are publicly pointing out unauthorized edits and the fact that some of the "new" editions do not match what Prabhupada originally intended. This can't be dismissed as trivial quibbles—it's a question of the authenticity of sacred heritage. Details below.
1) BBT at the fair—is it really the "original BBT"?
The organizers and the Indian delegation did indeed announce the presence of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust at the Moscow fair and the participation of the Indian side (Ambassador V. Kumar and the National Book Trust). These official reports are included in the press releases and news from the Indian pavilion.
However, there has been long-standing legal and identity confusion between several organizations with similar names—the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (the original trust established by Prabhupada) and Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc. (BBTI), a corporation created later. Independent resources and schisms within the Vaishnava community detail that these are different legal entities and that rights and control over the texts have been disputed.
2) Editorial Changes – Official Acknowledgment and Criticism.
The alarm is not unfounded: back in 2019–2022, the BBT and related agencies created editorial committees and publicly discussed the "issue of changes" to Prabhupada's books—meaning, the representatives themselves acknowledged the discussion and intervention. This isn't just rumor—there are public BBT materials stating the creation of an Editorial Review Panel to resolve disputes over edits.
At the same time, independent websites and groups (critical of the current management of Prabhupada's estate) are publishing specific accusations: changes are being made to bring the texts into line with the current ideology and practices of the governing bodies; there are examples of reworkings and deletions, as well as loud claims of "rewriting" of texts. These materials document instances in which many devotees have demanded transparency and the preservation of the author's texts.
3) BBT vs. BBTi – Who is "official" and whom to trust?
The history of these disputes is long: legal and public disputes over rights, copyright transfer, and who has the right to publish "original" texts are contained in archived publications. Some websites representing the viewpoint of opponents of the current team call BBTI an "inauthentic" organization that appropriated the brand and rights years after Prabhupada's passing. This explains why exhibitions sometimes display "BBT" in a broad sense, while in reality, a completely different legal entity may be operating under this name.
4) What does this mean for the reader and for the fair?
— When official venues (including national pavilions supported by embassies) provide a platform for publications with questionable editorial histories, this undermines the reader's right to the authentic text and misleads the public. We can't simply dismiss this: we are talking about the movement's core texts.
Conclusions and demands (what should be required of organizers and publishers):
Conclusions and demands (what should be required of organizers and publishers):
1. A full public declaration of who exactly represented BBT at the fair (legal name, office, contact information).
2. A complete list of the publications whose versions were exhibited, and information about what editorial changes/translations were made (and by whom).
3. Access to Prabhupada's archives/original dictations/author's manuscripts for independent verification, so that readers can compare.
Srila Prabhupada's name must not be allowed to become a brand for political and internal maneuvering. When government support (the Indian pavilion, the embassy) and a merry-go-round of PR reports mask real editorial and legal confusion, the public must ask: whose version is being presented? We have a right to the original, not "negotiated versions" or "administrative adaptations." The truth must be transparent - and we will demand it.

GBC’S DECEIT # EIGHT of TEN:
OFF-THE-WALL CONCLUSIONS, SELECTIVE OMISSIONS
(1) GBC stated that since many devotees ate Srila Prabhupada’s maha prasadam in 1977 and they did not become ill, therefore Srila Prabhupada was not poisoned. This insane logic assumes Srila Prabhupada was poisoned via food that was then distributed. However, most likely, poison was given intermittently or in food / drinks which were not distributed. Poisoners would know not to poison others too, to avoid detection.
PADA: Yeah, the poisoners did not know it would not be a good idea to poison everyone else. So they would have poisoned everyone else too. Really?
(2) GBC never explained their hero Tamal Krishna Goswami’s “mercy killing” interview, Srila Prabhupada’s poisoning statements, nor Srila Prabhupada’s conversation with his caretakers, who clearly accept and acknowledge Srila Prabhupada’s homicidal poisoning. Why?
(3) A GBC film included a clip from Primeau Forensics on how whispers are often misinterpreted by what the listener wants to hear, recommending a forensic analysis, and yet, the GBC never countered eight expert audio forensic studies on these whispers with their own study. Why?
PADA: Yeah, Balavanta was the GBC investigator. He is neighbors with the people doing the forensic whisper study. Then he suddenly bails out and quits. Hmmm?
(4) GBC stated that caretakers would not talk / whisper about poisoning on tape, so the “poison theory” is ridiculous.
BUT: multiple forensic studies have verified the poison whispers, so it appears the caretakers thought the tape recorder could not pick up their background speaking! Also, why were they whispering?
PADA: Yeah this looks like a weak idea. I myself did not know the whispers were on the tape, it takes some good audio equipment to bring them up. The whispers are further evidence, plain and simple.
(5) GBC says the “poison theory” was concocted from nothing due to malice. What matters is the messenger’s hidden motives, not the real evidence? This is standard propaganda methodology: to attribute an ill motive to the adversary and discard the facts. But the evidence of poisoning is irrefutable, certified, and not a theory.
PADA: Yeah attack the messenger.
(6) GBC book: “To suggest that Srila Prabhupada felt like he was being poisoned by his most trusted men implies he didn’t have common sense to immediately send anyone away he did not trust …he could summon mystic powers and know who was betraying him … Srila Prabhupada just went along with it? Srila Prabhupada would have outsmarted his envious disciples and is offensively portrayed like a confused martyr, willing to sacrifice his own life, being so tolerant, compassionate.”
This errant interpretation negates Srila Prabhupada’s poisoning? This idea that he would have saved himself and stopped the poisoning is flawed. Jesus accepted his crucifixion, carrying his own cross, and did not use mystic powers to save himself. Did Haridas Thakur stop his tormentors? What of Prahlad or Mirabhai? Yes, the pure devotee has inconceivable mercy and tolerance.
PADA: Does not seem to hold a lot of water either. Jesus knew he was in trouble, he could have left the area, but he stayed. What difference does that make?
(7) GBC: “With all due respect to Dr. Morris and his Hyperpure Dermanium Generator Detector at Univ. Missouri, he simply isn’t a toxicological expert.” But Dr. Morris did not make a toxicological evaluation of the cadmium findings (he simply did the tests).
Meanwhile, the GBC has no experts on 250 X normal average hair cadmium, and instead, they ridicule Dr. Morris. Such hypocrisy! Dr. J S Morris has testified in court hundreds of times and his credentials were never questioned.
(8) GBC: “If this were heard by a trial jury, the prosecuting attorney would have to explain with great detail where the poison was acquired, who obtained it and how they learned to administer it.”
PADA: Nope, why would this be required? A lot of these things can be found by doing some research in a library. Never mind that, some poisons tell you on the bottle that this product can kill a person.
Actually, the hair tests are court-quality proof that Srila Prabhupada WAS lethally, homicidally poisoned, and who did the poisoning is a separate issue. The GBC ridicules the notion of cadmium poisoning as “complicated, difficult.” But cadmium salts are readily available and can easily taint food/drink, and hair tests prove a lethal poisoning took place. A six-year forensic study by Truth Labs (India) determined the caretakers did it, likely led by Tamal.

(9) GBC: “This poison conspiracy has caused so much alienation, hurt, resentment, and chaos in all branches of the Vaishnava community, and this rumor has been so disruptive to Lord Chaitanya’s movement.” Well, the truth can hurt, but ultimately it heals, and honesty is the best path. Why hide from or fear the truth? We must use our intelligence to ascertain the truth. Study the facts and evidence-- judge for yourself.
(10) GBC: “The hair samples, which changed hands many times, were not stored in a clean, controlled environment and could have even been replaced with other hairs by a zealot disciple, are all possible.” This is false. The hair samples’ chain of custody was impeccable, fully documented, and the GBC had custody throughout (and no one else). Dr. Morris was engaged by the GBC’s Balavanta das. This doubt-mongering is dishonesty and deception. Why does the GBC disparage the tests they arranged with Dr. Morris and invited others to pay for? Further, there is so much other evidence confirming the hair tests.

Collapse of the Artificial Banking
January 21, 1977, Bhubaneswar
"Rāmeśvara: (...) And you mentioned about the gold standard, that this is very bad, this artificial standard of monetary exchange.
Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. It is very bad.
Rāmeśvara: In the future this is something that we should try to correct.
Prabhupāda: You should introduce coin, real money.
Hari-śauri: Real gold coins. No paper.
Prabhupāda: Anyone has got money… It is fact. And what is this nonsense, keeping some paper and thinking that he has got money? How cheating it is going on, from government’s side. And therefore artificial inflation. You can print, so the price is increased. Because you haven’t got to pay him real money—you print and pay him—and he will ask, “Give me this money. Then I’ll supply.” “All right, take.” You print and pay.
Rāmeśvara: It’s definitely a means that the government has for controlling. Because they can withdraw money, pull it back out of circulation by increasing the interest the banks give, or they can get more money in…
Prabhupāda: Anything done artificially.
Rāmeśvara: Yes. They control the amount of money, interest on loans. It’s all standardized from what they call the Federal Reserve system. This was introduced during the Depression by the bankers.
Prabhupāda: Whatever they do, when you receive money in the paper it has no value. Bad money. It is bad money. It is not good money.
Rāmeśvara: Actually, most purchasing in America is done on credit now. Even a step beyond paper money is credit—no money, buying on no money; loans.
Prabhupāda: That is in India also.
Rāmeśvara: We don’t find these things in Vedic culture too much. Now one thing is…
Prabhupāda: There was never paper money.
Hari-śauri: No. They used to…
Prabhupāda: That barter system: “You have got rice; I have got something else. So I give you something; you give me something.”
Hari-śauri: But isn’t inflation still possible even with coins? Even if you have gold coins, isn’t inflation still possible?
Prabhupāda: No, gold is acceptable by everyone.
Rāmeśvara: The main point is the barter system.
Hari-śauri: Yes, well its value is recognized by what it can…, by its purchasing power.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: So you can alter… Say, you like have one gold coin. You can alter what it…
Prabhupāda: No. If you introduce real metal coin, then there will be no inflation.
Hari-śauri: There’s only a certain amount of metal.
Prabhupāda: That’s all right. The exchange… The more demand, more price. So suppose here is a spectacle. I am demanding ten rupees. So both of you are customer, and you are asking for this spectacle. Then I am increasing my price. So if you can pay me by printing paper, you’ll accept any price. That means artificially price is increased. Is it not?
Rāmeśvara: Yes.
Hari-śauri: So the idea is that with coins the man who has the goods, he can’t…
Prabhupāda: Therefore… Suppose he has got ten coins, you have got ten coins; I am wanting fifteen coins. So there will be no competition. I have to accept either from you or you, ten coins.
Hari-śauri: Right. Because there’s only that much money.
Prabhupāda: But if I increase price and if you print… If you have got power to print, “All right. Take fifteen coins, er, fifteen rupees.” But you print and pay me. But if the gold, the coin, is there, you cannot increase on that.
Hari-śauri: He can’t increase the price of the product, and the man who got…, ‘cause there’s only a certain amount of money there.
Prabhupāda: But I can increase the price, provided you pay me. But by printing, it is easier. But if you have to collect coins, that will be difficult, so there will be no artificial increase of…
Hari-śauri: Yes. Coins is a check…
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: …on charging too much.
Prabhupāda: That is wanted. And these rascals, they are artificially printing paper as money. And I am a rascal; I’m demanding more because I have got customer.
Rāmeśvara: The difference between Vedic culture and…, the Kṛṣṇa conscious culture and the modern culture is very, very dramatic, very big difference. So the transforming of society…
Prabhupāda: And besides that, if we concentrate in farm project there will be no need of exchange, because I’ll be satisfied with my products, that’s all. There is no need of exchange. Whatever I need, I get in my farm.
Rāmeśvara: Weaving, cloth.
Prabhupāda: Everything you get. So I haven’t got to go outside for exchange. If you are satisfied in your farm, I am satisfied, then where is question of exchange? There is no need of artificial… So this banking, “fanking,” everything will collapse automatically. There is no money, who is going to keep money in the bank?"
