HK Project Kirtan / JPS Health / Retiring Politicians / Vaishnava Revolution 07 08 26

This is part of the Narada UK Hare Krishna Project program. I love that they are doing kirtans and distributing original books. At the same time, someone asked me if the persons giving diksha initiations in their group are acting as ritviks, or as self standing diksha gurus (same as GBC). I am not sure. Maybe some readers can inform us. For the record, PADA does not believe any of us conditioned soul devotees have the potency to give pure divyam jnanam and absorb sins, aka be diksha gurus.

JPS HEALTH 

Guru Maharaj's ability to digest food and intestinal process has slowed down. There were episodes of vomiting. Keep praying!

Health Message of Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj

Hare Krishna Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj's disciples and well wishers,
Kindly accept our humble regards.

Victory to Srila Prabhupada!

With the endless grace of Sri Sri Radha Madhav and sincere prayers of devotees all over the world, Guru Maharaj was able to stay with very short ventilator assistance for few hours today. His lung function is less. The process of completely removing him off the ventilator is delayed.

Most of the morning Guru Maharaj is fully alert, able to respond and actively communicated with everyone around him. Today he wanted to know through an alphabet chart, whether he can go to the temple to visit Sri Sri Vigra and participate in the Vyaspuja program of Srila Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaj. He wanted to know more, what else can he do personally for speedy recovery. 

At the end of the day his energy goes down a little. His intestine process has slowed down and is not absorbing, and doctors are working to get it back to normal. Plastic surgeon Dr. Orton Guru Maharaj's previous skin operation site expressed satisfaction that the wound is healing nicely. 

Tomorrow Guru Maharaj's traciostomy tube will be changed regularly, which is a normal and scheduled part of his ongoing treatment. We sincerely pray, that this process is completed seamlessly and further supports her journey towards the next phase of recovery and rehab.

We humbly request all devotees, disciples and well-wishers, continue our sincere prayers at the feet of Sri Sri Radha Madhav and Bhagwan Nrisinghadev, that Guru Maharaj gains more strength every day and slowly move forward to the path of rehabilitation.

Mahabrah Das

PADA: Yep, very ironic that Jayapataka is vomiting and his digestive system is not working. He was eating as much as four giant Walrus all the time, while various kids in his gurukula system had their bones sticking out from lack of nutrition. Obviously, he was siphoning food meant for the kids for himself. 

Now, after eating to make himself the size of an actual walrus, he is having all sorts of health issues. JPS gets all sorts of Saudi Prince billionaire health care while many of the kids in his gurukula system struggled to be able to read and write after they were pushed into the material world when Jayapataka's schools failed them. 

A number of those kids were living in their cars when I was in LA, they had no support from any sector evidently. OK they did not get $.10 cents of support never mind billionaire's health care.

I honestly cannot understand why JPS takes so much effort to stay in his current body, which is basically a basket case, unless he is afraid of what happens to him when he leaves this body. It is oddly ironic that his followers like to picture him eating his walrus sized meals as some sort of greatly spiritual process, when in fact this process was causing his organs to fail. In any case, he is on his way out one way or the other.  

=================

As Srila Prabhupada says, these politicians stay

in office until the day they die, they do not retire

to perform religious activity. In sum, they are in illusion. 

And a lot of them seem to be way out of touch with the

actual modern world situation, they are living in the past.

AMERICA'S FOREVER WARS

PADA: Thanks JK prabhu. Do I want the Democrats to win the mid-terms? Well first of all, we have to congratulate the greenest green energy president in USA history, the current MAGA one. Thanks to his plan to shut off the world's oil supply, China is getting a record amount of green energy products orders. One factory said they are 5 years back ordered. 

I favor green energy over carbon, but all material things have defects. The best thing is natural organic farming and low impact living, aka simple living, which Srila Prabhupada encouraged, but that is not happening much -- even with devotees. And the way the rain fall is getting so out of whack all over the place, it is hard to figure out where good places are for any natural farming. There are a few devotee efforts here and there, but it is not wide scale.

That being said, I do not want to see the USA entangled and engaged in another one of the neo-con $$$ multi-trillion dollar never ending middle East wars, especially since this might end up with boots on the ground and all sorts of dangerous escalation, perhaps heading USA into WW III. 

In sum, I don't think more and more -- forever wars -- in the Persian gulf area benefits USA, or benefits the people there. And I see no other way to get a voting block to end financing and supporting these forever wars other than getting these neo-cons out of office. I think even the USA public is getting tired of these never ending ad infinitum conflicts, and the trillions of dollars cost expense. 

But the neo-cons are clearly addicted to these endless conflicts, so I think we need to finally weed them out of government. Unfortunately, after we get stuck in all these trade wars, and actual wars, when the next guy takes over the USA government, he will have a giant pile of problems on his plate from day one. And he won't be able to undo all the damage that is currently being done by any easy means.

AMERICAN EMPIRE Dying - But Fighting To Stay Alive

America's empire is dying. It can feel it. So it's fighting desperately to stay alive through military FORCE. Can't negotiate anymore. Only dominates. Lost soft power (nobody respects American values). Dollar collapsing. US treasuries losing buyers. Nations buying GOLD instead. America faces fiscal crisis. So what does it do? Starts wars. Iran war, Ukraine war, threatens Taiwan war, plans Cuba invasion. 

Every conflict = attempt to reassert dominance.

Every military action = assertion of empire. But here's the problem: military force is VERY EXPENSIVE. Each war costs trillions. Wars accelerate dollar collapse. Wars accelerate loss of allies. Wars accelerate economic breakdown. So America is literally killing itself to preserve empire. 

Jiang: this is terminal stage of empire. Dying empires always increase military aggression. Rome did this. Ottoman Empire did this. America is doing it now.
Can't stop because stopping = admitting empire is over. So it fights to the end. The end is coming fast.

WHERE IS THE GBC MANAGEMENT?

Bhakti Sundar, discovered with addiction to pornography and other worldly habits and demands, mistreatment of devotees, plotting and intrigue towards others.
Bhakti Gauravani, a materialist, family man disguised as a sannyasi quitter for convenience.

Jayapataka could never fulfill the sadhana of morning discipline and cultivated, favoured and supported his disciple mafias -- forming a separatist sect within ISKCON. Even the other GBC are afraid to confront or oppose him.  

Jayadwaita, is the literary assassin of Prabhupada's books. Bhakti Vikas, is a mentally ill person with a lot of theory of ancient Vedic stories but devoid of mercy, sympathy for abusers, with a heart as cruel as his gloomy facial expression. Hridayananda, too much water in milk in the name of inclusion and spiritual intellectualism in his hodge podge called Krishna West.

And so the list can go on with names of dubious characters, some have already died but all have deviated, and have fanatical gullible followers with no true purpose of spiritual life. They also are knowing behind the scenes that their lives as living deities has been a farce.

VAISHNAVA REVOLUTION

Srila Prabhupada explains that “viplavah” means revolution. And this is most beneficial revolution that should lead to a real spiritualization of human society. Therefore, all glories to the great Vaisnava revolution! 

But… it’s still far from grand-scale results or making even one country headed by Vaisnavas, and one of the reasons for this is that in 1977-78 another revolution took place- a destructive one. Perhaps there is no proper word to describe how criminal it was. But it was anti-Prabhupada rebellion, a coup, a takeover of ISKCON by some ISKCON top managers (perhaps in conjunction with some outside demoniac forces). 

This destructive revolution that has already taken place forces us to do counter-revolution to neutralize the negative consequences of the anti-Prabhupada / anti-ritvik revolution. The key organizer of the coup, Tamal Krishna (Thomas Herzig), even in the presence of Srila Prabhupada, took steps towards a destructive “revolution”, which leads to the “dissolution” of ISKCON and the “no solution” of problems associated with the loss of true spirituality in human society around the world. Who said that? Srila Prabhupada himself. Quote from the “Transcendental Diary” by Hari Sauri das, Srila Prabhupada’s personal servant:

“Prabhupāda’s face was flushed. His back straightened, and his upper lip twitched on the left side. His anger was barely restrained. His hands shook as he held his tilaka mirror and applied the sacred clay to his forehead. “Why not GBC? All your resolutions are finished. First resolution, then revolution, then dissolution — no solution! I have to manage everything myself! I give you a little power, and you create havoc! GBC is for solving situations, not for creating situations… Now I take everything from you. You can either go to China, or you simply sit here in Māyāpur and chant!” (TD, March 15th, 1976)

The background of the incident and the reason why Srila Prabhupada assessed the situation so seriously and took drastic measures may not be very clear from the above quote. Tamal Krishna Gosvami began to emphasize the difference between grihasthas (householders) and sannyasis / brahmacharis (monks). 

Also, at his insistence in 1976 (when he was the GBC Chairman) GBC members passed resolutions that imposed restrictions on grihasthas and women in temples (these resolutions were canceled by Srila Prabhupada). In addition, a campaign was launched to remove the presidents of the temples who are grihasthas and move all the grihasthas to farms, after which the people of Tamal Krishna, the leader of many brahmacaris and traveling sannyasis, were to take leadership positions at ISKCON temples in North America. 

This is what Srila Prabhupada meant when he talked of Tamal’s ambitions, the attempt to stage a revolution through GBC resolutions and TKG’s desire: “he wants to control the whole Society. He wants to be the supreme controller.” (TD, March 14th, 1976).

An even more serious attempt to push on destructive revolution through adoption of destructive GBC resolutions occurred after Srila Prabhupada’s physical departure, when in the spring of 1978, the renegades led by Tamal Krishna deceived others and fraudulently imposed new acaryas on ISKCON (fake ones whom Srila Prabhupada never authorized as diksa gurus, but appointed them as first official ritviks). Satsvarupa briefly describes what were happening at the GBC meetings in 1978:

“March 12: There is no single successor. There is no single best party. We are all parts of this great movement. But one can easily cheat. It is futile to try to take over Krishna’s movement… so uncouth and untrained that we fight for position. It seems we would fight to the death over it.” 

(Iskcon in the 1970s: Diaries, by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami).

As a result of the cheating regarding new “successors”, ISKCON stumbled and fell into the abyss of systematic deviations and catastrophes. Knowing this history helps understand what happened to ISKCON after Srila Prabhupada’s physical departure. Some persons wanted it and deserved it, so Krishna allowed that to happen, but He also managed to preserve many evidence that subsequently became publicly known that will help restore or rebuild Srila Prabhupada’s society according to his instructions for those who sincerely wish to follow them.

There is a recording of former maya-ISKCON guru and GBC Rupanuga das telling the following:

Rupanuga das: After disappearance the whole thing fell apart when the GBC was hijacked.

Interviewer: What do you mean ‘hijacked’?

Rupanuga das: It was taken over by the gurus.

Interviewer: Oh, you mean the eleven or twelve whoever they were?

Rupanuga das: Yeah, eleven. There were 22 or 23 of us and when a half of them became gurus, they took over because they had the control of men, the new men. There was an army, they were making an army. And they also replaced Srila Prabhupada’s disciples, and they jabbed their people into many positions. You know, elbowed them out.

Interviewer: So, ISKCON has been hijacked, according to Rupanuga prabhu.

Rupanuga das: Yes.

Interviewer: Oh, wow!

Rupanuga das: It’s not just according to me. Other persons see it the same way. ‘Hijacked’ is nothing new concept. But that’s what happened. It’s been hijacked.

Interviewer: Mafia has taken over.

Rupanuga das: It was started with the GBC. When you hijack the GBC, you know, the next step was the whole movement, because the GBC was in charge of the movement. Everybody knew it. So they hijacked in the sense took it over and utilized it for their own purposes. 

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InxkOQbiia8)

PADA: Oddly, Rupanuga became the biggest cheer leader of the GBC gurus and personal defender of Kirtanananda when me and Sulochana challenged their regime. He knew it was a hijacking, and defended the hijackers? He has never actually explained any of this. ISKCON was hijacked, and I served the hijackers?

As a result, maya-ISKCON has practically lost spiritual purity and strength due to serious, systematic deviations from Srila Prabhupada’s orders and standards. This simple but fundamental principle that ISKCON is Srila Prabhupada’s society, that he is the founder, current acarya and supreme authority on all the matters of ISKCON, and that his instructions and standards are to be sincerely, strictly followed and maintained, is essentially lost in maya-ISKCON. 

Whatever their lip-service may be, their real focus is no more Srila Prabhupada but non-liberated, unauthorized gurus who fall down. They distract too much energy, time, money, etc. from maya-ISKCON only to direct people to the wrong, dangerous path. The institution has been turned into a corrupted society. How can it have vibrant preaching, stable development and spiritual success on such a broken basis?

“Subject: Nomination of HH Janananda Prabhu as Diksa Guru: “Hare Krishna. I am abstaining as usual  […] Having gurus crash and burn every few years is the main cause of ISKCON’s diminshed [sic] reputation and strength and I don’t see what we have put in place to break this pattern.” 

(Email from Badrinarayan Dasa, now maya-ISKCON guru himself, to secretary of GBC Executive Committee, 2/2/04, 18:12 -0800, PAMHO, 7786126)

Therefore, Prabhupadanugas are trying to organize an uprising against the bogus gurus and their false doctrines. This is a beneficial revolution. More precisely, a counter-revolution aimed at restoring and/or rebuilding (if it’s impossible to reclaim the original ISKCON) authentic society of Srila Prabhupada, with his position as current link acarya, diksa guru and his instructions on ritvik initiations, as well as other standards given by Srila Prabhupada. What’s wrong with that? 

Rejecting false gurus? Sincere acceptance of the genuine acarya’s instructions? This is the duty of every follower of Srila Prabhupada. Are we stonehearted? We should feel moved and be ready to help Srila Prabhupada and his movement, Lord Caitanya’s movement in such a situation, otherwise what else can touch our hearts?
