The sun, the moon, the stars in the sky.
Someone made all of that.
And no doubt I will be moving onto one of these
billions of places in my next life.
I just hope and pray not to forget who that
Someone is, wherever I am placed next.
Oh Krishna, you are my only hope!

The scoundrel who dared to make 5,000 capricious changes to the Bhagavad gita (Jayadvaita Swami on the left) propagates audio recordings of the pedophile convicted by ISKCON himself (Kesava Bharati "Goswami").

To download the files, you will need to register on pCloud (an alternative to Google Drive), but registration is free. This audiobook of Srīla Prabhupāda's complete translations and commentaries has been produced to a high professional standard, and the reading itself is wonderful.

PADA: Apparently! It is like JD says: "Old Mc ISKCON GBC had a farm. E. I. E. oh no. With a pedophile here, pedophile there, here a pedophile, there a pedophile, everywhere a pedophile, pedophile. Old Mc ISKCON GBC had a farm, E. I . E. oh no! One woman severely chastised PADA recently for our saying maybe 50% of the GBC sannyasa gurus are gays, she said it is WAY MORE than that. Oh no!
I'd say, and many others would say, this all about right. Sulochana said -- it is the gay saffron MAFIA, no wonder he is not here now. The good news, people are catching onto their agenda.

DANGER OF ACCEPTING GBC GURUS
PADA: Thanks Namarasa guys. That is why the hundreds of ex-Krishna kids around here, and their parents, avoid ISKCON. They are tired of being told that they did not "use caution" in selecting a GBC guru.Five years old children are not supposed to be selecting from anything like that in the first place, especially dangerous items. But the parents who objected to these GBC gurus, and the massive child mistreatment that resulted, were booted out the door as well. Where was the selection?
They did not have any say in selecting any of this -- and they still don't. Yeah, these children now say, they are blaming us kids for making bad gurus, and being victims, because we made bad choices when were five years old.
Anyway now my friend went to the ISKCON temple recently, and he ended up leading the Sunday Feast kirtan, because none of the Hindus there knew the kirtan tunes or mantras. Sorry, none of this was "chosen and selected" by us, it was forced upon the society and its children.
I told my children to never worship these people, they should worship Prabhupada, and they did. And they thank me all the time because their friends tell them the horror stories of what happens to children in a program which do not follow our idea. ys pd
Back To Prabhupada, Issue 80, 2024
We were recently alerted to a lecture given by ISKCON leader Praghosa Dasa ("PD"), who is a member of numerous GBC committees, due to the "rtvik" (IRM) message it conveyed. The lecture was given at ISKCON London on 30/5/24, and all the quotes in the shaded boxes are from this lecture. Emphases added.
Take diksa from Srila Prabhupada
PD states that Srila Prabhupada is a bona fide spiritual master that one should take shelter of:
"Srila Prabhupada is the ultimate shelter, and it's an infallible shelter. [...] It's a complete and total shelter [...] it's so important for us that we're following somebody who is self-realised. Somebody who is bona fide. Somebody who, you know, you take Srila Prabhupada [...] There was no question of Srila Prabhupada ever doing something that he shouldn't do and all of that kind of thing. So yeah, that's our protection and our shelter."
To emphasise his point that it is Srila Prabhupada who is the person most qualified to provide the shelter we should be seeking, PD makes it clear that the GBC gurus are nothing in comparison to Srila Prabhupada:
"You know, we have got to, and I say this to everyone in the room, young and old, new and old, and whatever: we have got to understand there is a massive difference between the gurus that we take initiation from in ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada. It's like Prabhupada is the moon and they are tiny little twinkling stars"
Thus, PD makes it clear that this bona fide spiritual master, who provides the "ultimate" and best possible shelter that we must take, is Srila Prabhupada, rather than the GBC gurus. But Srila Prabhupada states that one must take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master by initiation, which makes him the diksa guru:
"Any person who is seriously desirous of achieving real happiness must seek out a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation."
(SB, 11.3.21)
The above verse is quoted by Srila Prabhupada over 150 times in his books and lectures. Thus, if we are to follow PD's advice here, then we would need to accept shelter of the bona fide spiritual master, which he states is Srila Prabhupada – a shelter which must be taken by initiation, which would mean we must accept Srila Prabhupada as our diksa guru.
Does not require physical body
In case one may think that Srila Prabhupada cannot be one's diksa guru because he is not physically present, PD goes out of his way to disabuse us of this idea by referring to a quote which we give in The Final Order (TFO):
"And there's a wonderful quote where Prabhupada says guru is the principle, not the body. So it's a principle, it's not an individual – that's all, you know, neither here nor there."
PD refers to the following quote:
"Krishna and His representative is the same. Just like Krishna can be present simultaneously in millions of places. Similarly, the Spiritual Master also can be present wherever the disciple wants. A Spiritual Master is the principle, not the body. Just like a television can be seen in thousands of places by the principle of relay monitoring."
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 28/5/68)
We give this quote in TFO to make exactly the same point that PD makes here – that the principle of accepting the spiritual master does not depend on him having a physical body.
Srila Prabhupada can give diksa
"Diksa is simply, really, if you strip it all away, it's simply connecting you to the parampara. It's a formal procedure that connects us to the parampara."
PD claims that diksa is simply a one-time formal event designed to make a connection, i.e. the initiation ceremony or initiation procedure and rituals. In the next section, we will show that this is actually not a correct definition of diksa. However, if we assume for the sake of argument that PD is correct, what would this mean?
Well, we know for a fact that providing such a formal procedure did not require Srila Prabhupada's physical presence. Because on the 9th of July, 1977, Srila Prabhupada specifically established a system of giving initiation in ISKCON which would not require his physical presence or involvement in any way. Anyone recommended by a temple president would automatically become initiated and formally connected to the parampara without Srila Prabhupada needing to be involved at all:?either for the process of accepting disciples or the initiation ceremony. And all such persons became Srila Prabhupada's initiated disciples.
Thus, according to PD's definition of diksa, Srila Prabhupada would easily be able to continue giving such diksa even after his physical disappearance – just as he did when he was physically present – as the initiation system he established just before physically departing did not require his physical presence, and thus there was no reason to stop it.
Srila Prabhupada still gives diksa
Though PD defined diksa as being a formal procedural ceremony, Srila Prabhupada actually defines diksa as "initiating a disciple with transcendental knowledge" (Cc., Madhya-lila, 4.111, purport), and "receiving the pure knowledge of spiritual consciousness" (Cc., Madhya-lila, 9.61, purport).
And, if we actually use this correct definition of diksa, it makes the case that Srila Prabhupada is ISKCON's diksa guru even more clear cut. Because diksa actually requires the diksa guru to impart transcendental knowledge to the disciple – which PD agrees Srila Prabhupada is doing for everyone in ISKCON since Srila Prabhupada is at least everyone's "pre-eminent siksa guru":
"they [disciples of GBC gurus] have to also understand that Srila Prabhupada, we say ‘pre-eminent siksa guru' [...] pre-eminent siksa guru's not strong enough actually, it's actually not strong enough of a term"
(PD, Interview, 18/11/20)
If Srila Prabhupada is imparting transcendental knowledge "above all others" (the meaning of "pre-eminent"), then there is no question of anyone else in ISKCON being able to surpass him in terms of "initiating with transcendental knowledge" – or giving diksa.
Conclusion
We have yet another ISKCON leader who cannot help but copy the IRM's message even though they are supposed to be opposing it! PD has made a strong case for why one should accept Srila Prabhupada, rather than the GBC gurus, as one's ultimate shelter and diksa guru.

PADA: Yep, the IRM is against "PADA's using vulgar language." Bad language there prabhu! Well yep, but nowadays more and more and more people are calling the GBC guru system -- the homosexual and pedophile acharya's program. Hmmm! That means, our designations may or may not be bad, but they are accurate. ys pd
