Jatayu: THE 180 DEGREE INVERSION OF HISTORY:

So many audio tapes and documents are missing from the later months of Srila Prabhupada's life. In the screenshot below, we find memoirs of Yasoda nanda of Tamal's obscurantism accompanying the destruction of records around this time.

Tamal and the others who were operating as a clandestine clique within the movement, did their very best to cover up Srila Prabhupada's instructions on many matters, such as continuing the process of initiations as it had been going on, via the formal appointment of representatives.

Instead, these conspirators announced to the society after Srila Prabhupada's physical departure, that these eleven representatives listed by Srila Prabhupada in the July 9th directive, had instead been appointed as successor acharyas with zonal jurisdictions.

Even today, those who are advocating for the reinstatement of the original system of initiations face stigma, exclusion and even physical harm, for doing so. For example, when the Calcutta temple attempted to reinstate this system, Jayapataka sent his goons to go and beat the devotees, with injuries including broken bones. They also set fire to part of the building.

Mainstream ISKCON devotees however, have been indoctrinated into believing that advocates of the representative system are worse than the devil himself. Why? Because the revelation of this fraud, as well as other adjacent matters, would bring the house of cards of those who hijacked the institution, tumbling down.

PADA's TAXI update:

HKC JAIPUR ARE MAYAPUR AGENTS 

PADA: Thanks prabhu. The Jayapataka followers just now said to you PADA is a bogus taxi driver. Yep, this all started when the HKC Jaipur / Mathura Pati / Prabhupadanugas EU group started complaining that PADA is doing the same job as Jayananda, driving a taxi in San Francisco. And therefore he (and Jayananda) are engaged in sinful low class activity of moving around pizzas, prostitutes and drunks. Wow prabhus, Jayananda is one of the worst deviants in ISKCON, driving a taxi no less! Who knew! 

So yeah, they are demonizing a saint like Jayananda never mind PADA. What this means? Simple, they want to allow children to be raped, beaten and abused -- and not have us bogus taxi drivers protesting their actual child abuse agenda. Good question prabhu! Does that mean the HKC Jaipur and Mayapur guys are working together. Well yep it looks that way. They are certainly colluding together and parroting one another for sure.

The Mayapur and HKC folks also BOTH say -- me and Sulochana are (drunks and) sahajiyas, citing Hari Sauri. Yep -- same thing the Jayapataka Mayapur people say. Bhavananda's bucket boy is the writer / authority for both teams. People who support oral sex with taxi driver's Vishnupada acharyas are always in full agreement! 

And Sulochana said these people (like Hari Sauri / Mayapur / HKC Jaipur) are demonizing us as sahajiyas -- to make us targets for assassination. Sulochana says, they want to get us assassinated -- and they did get one of us assassinated. And the HKC people are proud they support the group that wanted us  assassinated, and did get Sulochana taken out? 

We also said -- Srila Prabhupada complains of poison, and they are trying to discredit us on that issue as well. We are known by our association. For the record, all the politicians, tech bros, drug dealers, drunks and prostitutes I was driving around San Francisco would ALL agree with me, child abuse needs to be contained. That means the average -- Joe six pack -- is more elevated than almost this entire ISKCON lot.

Meanwhile, the Jayapata / Mayapur people wrote to me to complain that our helping various lawsuits (including Bangalore's) has cost them over $100,000,000 -- more than the entire TOVP building. Right. So where does Srila Prabhupada order them to spend $100,000,000 -- fighting with a bogus prostitute and pizza driving taxi walla? Does this make any sense? We have to spend $100,000,000 of ISKCON money -- fighting -- with a bogus taxi walla driver? Where was this ordered in shastra? 

And the HKC Jaipur hero Krishna Kanta said the lawsuit "would make us lose our buildings." OK they admit they own the buildings where their pedophile messiahs are worshiped as acharyas. Kamsahanta said the same thing, we will lose our (pedophile worship) program buildings. Boo hoo! We will lose our wonderful and glorious pedophile worship program, oh gimme a kleenex so I can cry here! 

But none of them ever answers the first questions, why are us bogus drunken sahajiyas / alleged vodka drinking / prostitute driving / taxi driving fools -- the main -- if not only folks protesting child abuse, and they are not? 

So yeah, the Mayapur people and the HKC Jaipur are both criticizing Jayananada as a low class deviant; they are both opposing us for exposing their child abuse agenda; they both cite Hari Sauri as their authority; they both cite Radhanath supporters; they both cite or support the Auschwitz for kids cheer leaders etc. And so yeah, it looks like they are one and the same on the main issues.   

Even the Berkeley police said -- discrediting us enables, empowers and allows mass child abuse, and assorted banning, beating, molesting, suing and -- killing. The real reason they don't approve of PADA? We are exposing them, and their evil child abuse agenda, and such people hate to be exposed. 

Yeah, they talk alike, act alike, think alike, speak alike, and something is really wrong with their opposing mass child abuse. And yep, that is explains why there has been so much rampant abuse, these types of people encouraged and enabled the Auschwitz regime. Anyway yeah, they are both on the same page, which is why Sulochana says -- birds of a feather flop together.

GAURA GOVINDA MAHARAJA FOLKS PROTEST PADA

PADA: Sorry George Joannides: Yep, that is what the Gaura Govinda people said when I said there is a MASS child mistreatment program. "This PD guy is an aparadhi," OK because he does not support our worship of GGM's child predators acharyas. That is why we had to sue Gaura Govinda's guru program for $3M and later for $400M. 

GGM was always hanging out with Dhanurdar, Bhavananda, Bhakti Vidhya Purna, Radhanath, Jayapataka, Dayaram, and the whole Auschwitz for kids ki jaya folks ... so we all know whom GGM prefers to exclusively associate with, and whom and what he supports. The good news is: the Dallas courts ruled in favor of us, twice. Yup. Anyone who defends children is an aparadhi in the GGM scheme, we know all about it, so does the police, so does the children, so does the courts, so does the media. 

Gaura Govinda Maharaja has no authority to promote his homosexual and pedophile guru regime, period. And he was STILL in their company in Mayapur when he left his body, because he wanted to be with -- them -- and he avoided us, and we all know the reason. ys pd

ISKCON Is Already Doing "Ritvik Initiations"

This was inspired by a great question from Guillermo Alberto Lopez Quintero:

"I have started with Paramadviti Maharaj. Am I a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, or do I need a new initiation?"

Reply:

I was travelling in a caravan from London to India in 1994 and started associating with Srila Prabhupada through his book The Science of Self-Realization. I had never heard or seen anything about Indian culture up to that point, and I come from a Muslim background.

Still, Srila Prabhupada preached to me. Prabhupada convinced me to try bhakti-yoga. Prabhupada convinced me to chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Prabhupada convinced me to follow the four regulative principles. Prabhupada convinced me to come and join the temple. Prabhupada convinced me to give my life to Krishna, surrender to Krishna, and serve this transcendental mission.
So Srila Prabhupada was already my diksha-guru in my heart when I came to ISKCON in Vrindavan in 1995. 

Sadly, I was told that I needed "a living diksha-guru," when actually I already had one—a very rare and special one—Srila Prabhupada, an intimate eternal friend of Vrindavan Krishna.

So I received formal initiation on Gaura Purnima in Mayapur-dhama in 1997. My department head sent my recommendation letter to Harikesa Swami. Harikesa Swami chanted on my beads and chose a spiritual name for me.

A Mayapur temple brahmana conducted the fire yajna. Everything was done according to the July 9th Directive concerning how to perform initiations after Srila Prabhupada's physical departure.

The Illusion and the Solution

1. The newly initiated disciple is influenced to mistakenly think that the "ritvik" is his diksha-guru.

Solution: To understand and realize that throughout his spiritual life, Srila Prabhupada has actually been his diksha and siksha-guru.

"Diksa actually means initiating a disciple with transcendental knowledge by which he becomes freed from all material contamination."
(Madhya-lila 4.112, Purport)

2. The appointed "ritvik" mistakenly thinks that acting as a "ritvik" automatically makes him a diksha-guru.

Solution: To understand and realize that he is only acting as Srila Prabhupada's representative, acting on Prabhupada's behalf to choose a spiritual name and chant on beads and Gayatri threads.

"Temple Presidents may henceforward send recommendation for first and second initiation to whichever of these eleven representatives are nearest their temple. After considering the recommendation, these representatives may accept the devotee as an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada by giving a spiritual name, or in the case of second initiation, by chanting on the Gayatri thread, just as Srila Prabhupada has done. The newly initiated devotees are disciples of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the above eleven senior devotees acting as His representative."
(July 9th Signed Directive)

So your "ritvik" initiation was already done by Prabhupada. You simply have to correct your consciousness, and the "ritvik"—in your case, Paramadviti Maharaj—also has to correct his consciousness.
Prabhupada:

"YES, I AM THE SPIRITUAL MASTER OF THIS INSTITUTION, AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY DISCIPLES. They follow the rules and regulations which I ask them to follow, and they are initiated by me spiritually."

https://vanisource.org/.../680312_-_Interview_-_San...

But if you feel your consciousness will be much better by going through a new formal initiation ceremony and receiving a new spiritual name, because it will help you completely disconnect from the person you thought was your diksha-guru for all these years and now focus much more on Srila Prabhupada, then please do go ahead and do that. There is nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Thank you for your wonderful question.

Jayaaaa Prabhupada!

JND

Now let us us look at the specific complaint being raised by Puri Jagannatha temple regarding ISKCON holding Ratha Yatras around the world on dates that differ from the one in Puri.

They have made a claim that Ratha Yatra must be conducted only on Ashadha Shukla Dvitiya, and they state this is the only day specifically given in the Skanda Purana for conducting this festival. Is what they say true? Let us see what Lord Jagannatha actually says in Skanda Purana about the timings:

guṇḍicākhyāṃ mahāyātrāṃ prakurvīyāḥ kṣitīśvara
yasyāḥ saṃkīrtanād eva naraḥ pāpād vimucyate
māghamāsasya pañcamyām aṣṭamyāṃ caitraśuklake
ete kālāḥ praśastā hi guṇḍicākhyamahotsave
viśeṣān mokṣadāṣāḍha-dvitīyā puṣya-saṃyutā
ṛkṣābhāve tithau kāryā sadā sā prītaye mama

"O King, you should perform the great procession known as the Guṇḍicā-yātrā. Simply by chanting its glories, a person is freed from sin. The fifth day of the month of Māgha and the eighth day of the bright fortnight of Caitra are considered especially auspicious times for the festival known as the Guṇḍicā Mahotsava. 

Above all, the Āṣāḍha Śukla Dvitīyā, when joined with the Puṣya constellation, bestows liberation. If Puṣya is absent, it should still always be observed on the Dvitīyā tithi, for My pleasure." - Skanda Purana 2.29.30-32

Very clearly Lord Jagannatha gives a list of different timings which one may choose, of which the best is Ashadha Shukla Dvitiya. It is the best, but it is not the ONLY option. This is Lord Jagannatha's own instruction in the Skanda Purana to Maharaja Indradyumna.

The claim made by the Puri temple is false, and this has already been refuted by ISKCON, who has presented them with 90 pages of scriptural reference showing that the Ratha festival can be conducted on other dates as per the instructions of the scriptures.

Is this really a fight over scripture or "trademarks"?

We find from the following news article in the Indian Express (10 July, 2026) that the king of Puri has said other Ratha processions of Jagannatha can be done on other dates, but he just doesn't want them to use the name "Ratha Yatra". Is that what Skanda Purana told him?

"Gajapati Maharaj further mentioned that Puri temple committee has no objection to ISKCON performing additional 'Rath Processions' for the purpose of propagating Krishna Consciousness at different times of the year. "However, such events cannot be called or described as 'Shree Jagannath Rath Yatra'." - New Indian Express (10 July, 2026)

Is this a disagreement over scripture or over business trademarks? If they agree that the exact same chariot procession can be done on different dates as long as it uses a different branding name, then this is not a disagreement about scriptures.

ADAM DE RITO

America doesn’t drift toward communism because young people suddenly stop believing in freedom. It drifts there when young people stop believing they have a future in capitalism.

For too long, we’ve expected the next generation to inherit the consequences of today’s decisions while denying them a meaningful seat at the table. Skyrocketing housing costs. Record national debt. Rising costs of living. Then we wonder why more young Americans are looking for radical alternatives.

If you believe in free markets, private property, and the American Dream, then the answer isn’t to cling to power forever. The answer is to renew our republic by passing the torch. This isn’t about disrespecting the generations who built America. It’s about ensuring the generations who inherit America still believe it’s worth preserving.

If we want to save American capitalism, we have to give young Americans a reason to believe in it. Read my latest op-ed and let me know where you stand.

PADA: Yep, the torch was not passed to the ISKCON gurukulis. Same issue, they see no future in that movement, so they left en masse. One gurukuli here blew out his brains under a bridge and left a note "I have no place in my own religion." Yep, no future. ys pd
