RE: Ayodhya's Rama Temple (Yahoo News)

India Hindu Temple Explainer

Ayodhya’s airport can barely accommodate the influx of private jets. “The planes will depart after dropping guests,” airport manager Saurabh Singh said.

The temple was built over a razed mosque, and most political opposition leaders are boycotting the temple's opening, saying it doesn't befit a secular India.

However, the attendees are some of India's most influential people: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan.

Ahead of the upcoming general election, Modi’s Hindu nationalist party is using the elaborate consecration ceremony to lobby the country's Hindu majority.

THE LEGEND OF RAM, THE PRINCE OF AYODHYA

The temple will be the sacred abode of one of the Hindu pantheon's most popular gods, Ram, who Hindus believe was born at the exact site in Ayodhya.

Millions of Hindus worship Lord Ram with an intense belief that chanting his name in times of adversity will bring peace and prosperity, and most of those who practice Hinduism keep idols of Ram in their homes. Major Hindu festivals like Dussehra and Diwali are associated with mythological tales of Ram extolling the virtues of truth, sacrifice and ethical governance.

The mythological Hindu epic “Ramayan," which tells the story of Ram’s journey from prince to king, has often been adapted in popular culture. One of the most-viewed fabled shows is the TV series “Ramayan” created in the 1980s, which continues to have a faithful audience.

Ram’s divinity is not only a dominant religious force in India but also part of the cultural heritage in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar and Malaysia.

A TEMPLE RISES

Spread over nearly 3 hectares (7.4 acres), the temple — which is still being built — has an estimated cost of $217 million. It's made with pink sandstone, adorned with intricate carvings, and has 46 doors — 42 of which will have a layer of gold.

Anil Mishra, a member of the trust overseeing the construction, said the temple blends traditional design with cutting-edge technology and is “crafted without the use of iron, steel, or cement."

A 1.3-meter (4.25-foot) dark stone sculpture depicting Ram was installed in the temple’s inner sanctum for Monday’s consecration. The religious ritual of “Pran Pratishtha," which signifies giving life to the idol, will be conducted according to Hindu Vedic scriptures. The deity can then receive and bless devotees.

After the ceremony, the temple will open to the public and an estimated 100,000 devotees are likely to visit daily, authorities say.

AYODHYA, PAST AND PRESENT

The city known for its narrow lanes crowded with Hindu pilgrims and shops selling miniature Ram idols, has been given a facelift with modern infrastructure and services. Ayodhya’s modest airstrip has grown into an expansive international airport with a 2.2-kilometer (about 1.4-mile) runway in the first phase. The clean railway station has a daily passenger capacity of about 50,000 people.

“The historical and spiritual significance of Ayodhya makes it a compelling destination,” and a huge surge in demand is anticipated, said Ravi Singh, a representative of the Indian Hotels Company Limited.

THE CONTROVERSY

Ayodhya has been at the center of India’s turbulent politics and the Hindu majoritarian quest to redeem the country’s religious past for decades. Its diverse, multicultural past was overrun by strident Hindu nationalism after mobs demolished the 16th-century Babri mosque in 1992.

Hindus won a prolonged legal battle in 2019, allowing them to build the temple. Hindus make up about 80% of India’s population but the country is also home to some 200 million Muslims who have frequently come under attack by Hindu nationalists.

Modi has been the face of an unprecedented — and unapologetic — fusion of religion and politics in India and led the temple’s groundbreaking ceremony in 2020.

Critics say the idea of a diverse, constitutionally secular state leading a Hindu religious ritual is deplorable. Most opposition leaders have declined the invitation, saying the event is being used for political campaigning by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, which promised to build a Ram temple as part of its election strategy.

Modi has asked people to publicly celebrate the consecration by lighting lamps at homes and temples. The message is clear: Mobilization of Hindu voters will be a key issue in the upcoming national election as Modi looks to extend his rule for a record third-consecutive term.

ISKCON's Pedo Nath Invades Ayodhya

 



KD: Hare Krishna! Is that a bad thing? I am very excited about the opening of the Rama mandir, but was wondering what is ISKCON's position on it.

PA Dasi: Not a great look ... to have ISKCON's most notorious pedophile Guru front lining on the International stage representing Srila Prabhupada. 

AD: ISKCON simply cannot stop the policy of glorifying pedophiles as Rama's guru successors. When Ravana is being advertised as Rama's successor, you know none of them care about Lord Rama at all.

KSA: If your divine movement is being represented by a confirmed criminal, is that a good thing?

PA Dasi: ISKCON's Pedo Army of Ravana has descended on Ayodhya looking for revenge from being killed by Lord Ramachandra. Now they have manifested as Dvivida Gorilla to try to destroy Lord Krishna from the inside by infiltrating Srila Prabhupada's transcendental spiritual movement.

Jai Pedo Nath Swami, all glories to your p*ssy grabbing child molesting, just couldn't stop yourself because Maya Devi made you do it? May the Truth of Satya Devi be self effulgent and burn to ashes all those that are Prakrita Sahajya Kali Chela parasite pedophiles in Iskcon ... International society for Krishna consciousness. It's time Iskcon turfed out all the Pedo-con Sanyasi Rapist Gurus and stopped bringing Iskcon into disrepute.

S Dasi: Amen to that. Why would ISKCON glorify a known pedophile in Ayodhya to contaminate the glorification of Lord Rama? What does that say about their affection for Lord Rama? Isn't it always pedophiles or their enablers front and center representing ISKCON?

WA: He is the center of the ISKCON universe. Fiskcon is full of narcissistic deviates, like minded.

TP: At least some of us are in the true ISKCON... luckily.

ZD: I am always amazed ... that we are still surprised ... how ISKCON, the gbc, their gurus ... and basically whole lot of them, does not give a f... about any protest, critics, moral principles, who is Krishna and who is His successor or  anything else ...

MA Dasi: OMG. 

MMD: Deena bandhu likes it. Of course, he helped bury a pedophile in a samadhi in the dham. Bring on the glorification of pedophiles ... and they love it. Try to worship Srila Prabhupada? And they beat on you with bamboo sticks and spend millions suing you ... to have you removed from ISKCON. This is a good sign though, it means we were right all along ... to call them pedophile worshipers. They are an official pedophile worshiping cult and this is further proof.

PADA: Yeah and Bhakti Vikas swami says that we Westerners cannot understand how Krishna's successors are most of the time fallen debauchees. And he is a big "shiksha advisor" of the India ICC committee. 

When Harikesh said that gurus can wear condoms, someone said -- "oh good, when we find a used condom on the road, we should take it home and worship that as maha." Yep, that is the state of the India ICC committee folks, they think condom pada was part of the parampara. 

He was as good as God, and most of the time -- the good as God fal down as their mentor BVKS says. And then they wonder why we Westerners don't agree with their program? Yeesh! Anyway, the good news is, more people are catching on to the GBC's pedophile messiah's / condom pada guru scam. It is collapsing, and none too soon!

Jay Seva Writes PADA 01 21 24

Soldier's wife demands husband's return at Putin HQ (yahoo.com)

PADA: Yeah, you want to give me back my husband, when he is a stump with no arms and legs, thanks Mr. Russian government! It is always the women and children who get the short end of the stick with these Kali wars.  

========

HENRY DOKTORSKI

Just received some nice encouragement from a former ISKCON devotee in the United Kingdom who just ordered Killing For Krishna. He says:

Henry Prabhu, I served as a faithful servant for 24 years in the ashram , and then I was thrown out onto the streets!! I began "researching" about this stuff (anomolies in ISKCON) when it was not even legal to talk about it in the temple. I was marked as, what did they say, incorrigible! 

I really appreciate your work, Prabhu. The value and importance of your work will be felt for hundreds of years!!!! I will make a mission to buy all your books and work on presenting them to the world where ever I go.

VK United Kingdom

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





JAY SEVA WRITES

After all it is said that an envious man can't be controlled by no means, at least within the boundary of the humans made laws. You're insane, it's in a way good that you, the destroyer of so many peoples lives are so conspicuously uncontrollable nonsense blabbing drunkard and God know what else. 

PADA: OK well that is what you GBC ilk folks have argued all along, that we "dissenters" are drunken sahajiyas, who watch TV etc. And now you -- and Kailasa chandra folks -- are repeating what the Kirtanananda followers said about us, because you and Kailasa chandra are more in the Kirtanananda camp -- and that is why you accept and cite them as your authority.

Which self evidently means, only us drunken sahajiyas know there is a MAJOR problem with criminal mass child abuse, while you Kirtanananda groupies don't know that. We so-called drunk sahajiyas -- at least tried to do something to address the issue, while you guys did nothing, except -- try to stop us from protesting and addressing the issue -- by calling us crazy drunks. 

Yep, only a babbling drunk knows mass child abuse is a criminal problem, while you de facto Kirtanananda guys wanted to stop us from protesting -- self evidently -- to save your pedo messiah's project. As soon as the topic of child abuse comes up, you guys always start talking about crazy babbling drunks -- to discredit the complaints about your child abuse regime. 

Same thing with Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad UK / HKC Jaipur et al., they also say anyone complaining about mass child abuse is "a crazy babbling drunk" citing their Kirtanananda camp authority. Sorry, Kirtanananda's camp and their slogans are not my authority. 

We all know this about you poor old loser pizza boy. Your hate for the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna and His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada whom you do consequently offend for decades will not go unpunished.

PADA: Well yeah, the pizza eating mundane society and their law enforcement / courts / media had to help me address your mass child abuse process, while the "devotees" [like you guys] -- as a class -- didn't help. The "devotees" in fact many times try to hinder us from protesting your Kirtanananda guru folks process. I agree. 

You dragged the Lordships into your dirty network of conspiracies and legal actions as an act of revenge for your own children going to ISKCON gurukulas.

PADA: These kids never were sent to any ISKCON gurukulas, but even if they did, what does that matter? Mass child abuse needs to be countered -- whether this kid or that kid ever participated or didn't. Notice you are making insinuation about some kids being in ISKCON gurukulas, when they were never there. That means you are attacking children by misrepresenting their situation. But that is typical of you Kirtanananda groupies. Attack children first, ask questions later. Why does your program always involve attacking children? 

I also forgot, you guys don't want us to "take revenge" on your molester messiah's program, you wanted to be well behaved / goody two shoes / acquiescing / unicorns and rainbows / sitting on the side lines / while the mass abuse runs amok. That is basically what even the media folks have told me, most devotees do not want any protest. Worse, "the devotees" will often -- as not -- protest -- PADA's  protest.

Even Arjuna was told BY KRISHNA to avenge the attacks his family was getting, but you goody two shoes nice guys have no idea that revenge is sometimes required, even in the case of mass molesting of children. Sorry, if you don't take revenge on mass child abuse, you are implicated in acquiescing.   

What about the torn apart anuses?! 

PADA: Good question. Why are you against us for trying to save children from getting torn apart anuses? Are you saying you do not want that process challenged --- ummm -- like many of your fellow GBC-ophiles? We should not challenge or "take revenge" on a program that is assaulting children? We are at least trying to fix that problem, you guys are trying to stop us, guess whose side you are on? And guess whose side many victims / law enforcement / media tell me you guys are on?  

You and all the parents of the raped in gurukula children should be counted as co-responsible for what happened with their children. 

PADA: So why are you saying we should not take action to fix the problem? We are trying to be as responsible as we can be to solve the situation, so we should sit back and not fix it. That makes you co-responsible because you are trying to stop us people from challenging the problem. But yeah, the parents should have helped us more, and reported all this to law enforcement, that is also true.

And blame Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Krishna for every or in fact any nonsense made allegedly in Their name or because of Them. 

PADA: But you de facto are blaming Krishna by saying it is wrong for us to address the problem, that means you guys are "leaving it up to Krishna." How many times I heard "leave it to Krishna" from you guys? Krishna is not our hand maiden, we have to take steps to fix things ourselves. Attacking the whistle blowers is helping the regime and not the victims. 

God is not our personal janitor. So you guys doing nothing makes Krishna and His devotees look bad. Sorry, it is ALL of our jobs to fix things, not "leave it up to Krishna" to try to shuffle the load onto Him and make Him look bad. If Prabhupada's devotees allow a criminal molester messiah's program to take over their religion, it makes Krishna look bad. Many media people have said -- thank God we met you, at least some Krishna's are protesting.

I am in favor of not allowing these crimes to happen. I also never said Krishna created this mess, I said the leaders and acquiescing rank and file did. Yes Krishna allowed that, but He also "allows" wars, animal slaughter, and so many countless horrible things, but that does not mean He endorses or approves of these bad behaviors. He does allow bad people to do bad things, that is not His endorsement.  

This is but the message you foolishly largely perpetuated in the public sphere. 

PADA: Yeah but the police, FBI and media folks said the only reason I lived is by going public. It made me too loud, too conspicuous, too obvious, and too significant of a target. Apart from that, why would you want child abuse problems not made public, which saves the regime and not the children? 

Why do you want to defend mass child abuse by not alerting the parents to the issue? We are not allowed to bring any of this up inside ISKCON, it has to be public courts and media -- or not at all. I forgot, you guys wanted nothing at all, so the children would have had no relief. At least we gave the victims some support, what did you guys do then or now? So we made this public, and then hundreds of kids were pulled out of GBC schools. And you wanted them to stay there? 

You are feeding demons with your own hate to Prabhupada and Krishna.

PADA: Wow, so anyone who objects to mass child abuse hates Krishna. Well everyone I know says that your policy of allowing child abuse is hating on Krishna and His parts and parcels. Allowing children to be abused is how to love Krishna? No wonder so many of the ex-children victims ended up against Krishna. Saving children from abuse is helping the children from the demons, and opposing us is feeding the demons by enabling them.

Therefore you can't chant. 

PADA: OK well that is what Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur folks also said, the reason I oppose their mass child mistreatment defense is -- I am not chanting my rounds. Oh, so the people who defend mass child abuse are chanting? Horrible advert for chanting! And these HKC Jaipur groupie guys were also quoting Kirtanananda's people that we are drunks. They are with Kirtanananda's program and that makes them sincere chanters? 

Therefore you drink cheap alcohol.

PADA: Well yeah, after listening to you guys, I should be taking a bottle of percodans and two bottles of Vodka every few days, hee hee. You got me there pardner!  

And you get help from your friends from the law enforcement or mass media. 

PADA: Well yeah, they understand that mass child abuse is evil and needs to be checked. And yeah you guys are upset that hundreds of kids were pulled out of your guru schools -- thanks to our lawsuit, and probably thousands more were never sent -- thanks to us. You are angry that you could not victimize more of your little victims. Got it. 

OK so anyone who cites Kirtanananda Bhakti pedo pada that we are drunks [like you, Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur / Kailasa and his people] is authorized, and anyone who opposes is insane. Yep, anyone who says children should not be mistreated is insane, and quoting Bhakti pedo pada is sane. 

We got that already. Why are you and Kailasa folks always citing Bhakti pedo pada's folks, a bogus fraud guru who was being advertised as another Jesus? Why are you guys in bed with Bhakti pedo pada aka your new Jesus? And why cannot any of you answer the question since 1986? 

But you are correct, we had to get the pizza society to sue your program for $400,000,000 while you guys have been still citing Bhakti pedo pada meister's project. Yep, we had hundreds of kids pulled out of your guys "guru schools" and you have been upset ever since that we cut the supply line of your victims. 

Wow, so anyone who is not citing Bhakti pedo pada is envious, that is what Bhakti pedo pada said, and you are his puppet. Got it. Only the sincere chanters are citing Bhakti pedo pada. Sheesh! The only logical explanation? You wanted those hundreds of kids not to be pulled out ... so you could make a fresh wave of your victims. We understand your agenda, and so do the courts. And so does Lord Yamaraja. 

Anyway good luck. I feel sorry for your guys. You and Kailasa chandra have done nothing to alleviate the child mistreatment problem, and you never will. And you cannot build any alternative society -- by citing the slogans of the Pedo pada folks. It is just turning people off. And Mukunda citing the Hitler folks is also not making any progress, and it turns people away from the religion. We need to address problems in a sane and sober manner if we are going to make a sane and sober society.

Bhagavat Maharaja / Mrkanda Fitch vs Padmagarbha dasa


LETS BURN ISKCON DOWN!
[To cover our complicity in making it into a mess]

BHAGAVAT MAHARAJA

PADA: Yeah sannyasa and householders have different standards. And that is why the GBC kicked out nearly all of the householders, but they kept a few householders who supported their false society as window dressing, and that made a haven for false renunciates and numerous of their perp friends. And Bhagavat knows sannyasa was forbidden -- and yet he went ahead and made himself one anyway. And Bhagavat works hand in glove with the Narayan Maharaja folks, who were the biggest cheer leaders of Tamal's false renunciate regime. 

We have to distinguish the misuse of sannyasa over all, starting with answering -- if sannyasa is suspended, why are more than a hundred subsequently made, or a hundred more were made from them taking off with the Gaudiya Matha or NM camps, and they still are being made -- before we reigned in the previous troubles they made -- ok such as their child mistreatment circus? And why are us householders still being shunned, purged, blocked e-mails, if not sued, and / or removed and exiled by various tricks and so on -- even now? And waiting for people like the false renunciates to explain any of this is like waiting for a fairy to glide down from heaven and hand you a check for $1,000,000. It is not likely to happen. ys pd

=========

Mrkanda Fitch

Boiling and flushing the baby with the bath water or throwing all sincere members and leaders of the institution under the bus because of the faults end sins of a few is not at all the solution! 

PADA: Yeah we keep hearing this. The worshipers of the GBC's homosexual and pedophile guru lineage, that bans, beats, molests, sues and kills vaishnavas -- are "sincere followers." A news reporter from Britain visited Hitler -- and he wrote that Hitler is -- the nicest person he ever met -- who was bouncing a baby on his knee, and all of his servants were very kind. This is called blind following and sentiment. We are not tossing the sincere under the bus, they are already under the bus, and we are trying to get them out of there!

As with anything purgative, the cancer and autoimmune disease of the spiritual / social body simply must be cleansed and purified so that the internal environment is no longer accepting nor fertile for diseased attitudes and behaviors to persist or grow!

Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch the evidence is overwhelming that ISKCON's gurus were neither authorized by Srila Prabhupada to occupy the guru seat, nor are ANY of them qualified! So the most compassionate thing one can do for the body of ISKCON is to expose them all for being the pretenders they are. If we do not do so, this is what Srila Prabhupada states is the fate of all the sincere prabhus who joined this Movement after November 1977.

"Unless one is initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, ALL his devotional activities are useless! A person who is not properly initiated can descend again into the animal species." [SP, Madhya Lila 15:108]

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das Okay Prabhu, apparently you could have would have should have done better!! So come on, be the next real Acharya and inaugurate the next real face and phase of Srīla Prabhupāda's ISKCON!!! Come on let's do it together and stop bitching from the ditch or critiquing from the sidelines!

PADA: Right. When Vaishnavas are being banned, beaten, molested, sued and assassinated, we should not complain. OK and that has enabled all these crimes left, right and center. Thousands of children have been molested, and yet the people who complain are "bitching" and moaning [about insignificant issues]. OK, but making children an insignificant bitching and moaning issue is how our society got thousands of them abused, and that also discredited the dissenters, which is how they got assassinated. The only winners are the perps and their enablers. 

Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch, all my arguments I backed up with quotes by Srila Prabhupada, so you laughing and ridiculing me is actually you laughing and ridiculing Srila Prabhupada! 

PADA: It is also ridiculing all the victims.

The following words by His Divine Grace are spoken about those who defy His Instructions/words!

"A siksa guru who instructs against the instructions of a spiritual [master], he is not a siksa guru, he is a Demon!

The first offense is guror avajna, defying the authority of guru. This is the first offense! So one who is offensive, how can he make advance in chanting? He can not make! Then everything is finished in the beginning." [Bg 17:1-3, Honolulu, 07-04-74]

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das sorry Uncle, but simply because you are very stubbornly fixated on your own opinion and misappropriating Srīla Prabhupāda's quotations and authority to bolster your confirmation biased prejudgements does not make your suppositions objectively true, and certainly does not in turn make my assertions false! That is the problem with you first generation devotees, is that you have very little if any courageous vulnerability and radical honesty when challenged to face and consider perspectives and truths which are beyond your limited present purview, especially when so heavily conditioned by self righteous anger and pride!! 

PADA: Yep, heard that exact thing over and over, you are addressing banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and assassinations due to "excess pride." In other words, blame the messenger so the message is silenced. 

And it has worked pretty good for these folks, thousands were banned, a number were beaten, some were sued, some had to be sued, many were molested, and some were assassinated -- and we are wrong to address this because -- it has nothing to do with these victims -- but everything to do with the evil dissenters prideful nature. So this is argumentum ad hominem, we cannot address your points, so we assassinate your character. Blame the messenger.   

No amount of smashing or bashing others in the name of Srīla Prabhupāda or Krishna or any other pure or perfect Personality or philosophy will effectively or favorably change the heart of any wayward person! Only absolute golden-hearted Grace of touchstone -like humble preaching as exemplified by Haridas Thākur and Lord Nityananda will accomplish that! ha ha hah!    

PADA: Yep, heard that thousands of times, our complaining about mass child abuse etc. is not going to change anything. Just let the victims be abused and shut up. OK and that is what happened -- thanks to these cheer leaders shouting us down. You guys shouted us down, that makes you co-conspirators with the regime. 

Padmagarbha Das You can laugh and gaffaw and bluster and pontificate as much as you want! But what is your real and systematically effective proposed solution!? Yeah sure, you and so many others have incessant criticism for the faulty leaders of present and since 1977, BUT WHAT IS THE ACTUAL AND ONGOING PRESENT AND COMPLETE SOLUTION DECLARATION AND DEDICATION!? 

Until and unless you are the solution then you are simply agitating and perpetuating the problem! And sorry not sorry, but all the old folks are going to be dead very soon and the insane chaotic mess left behind will be up to us second gen and third gen devotees to figure out and straighten out one way or another with or without your supposedly mature help! Hare Krishna     

PADA: It is rather amazing how people like Mrkanda seem so ready to pounce when anyone addresses the worship of homosexuals, pedophiles and deviants as messiahs project.

Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch there is a very simple solution to ALL of ISKCON's problems, and that is to put Srila Prabhupada back into the center!

All gurus resign and very publicly confess that they lied to everyone, and that they never had any qualification and above all NO authority to consider ANY of those who took shelter in ISKCON after Srila Prabhupada's departure as their own disciples. Then ALL the names of those prabhus who wish to accept Srila Prabhupada as their diksa guru will have their names entered into Srila Prabhupada's disciple book.

Those "gurus" who refuse to resign will be excommunicated/banned from ISKCON and they can open their own Centers somewhere along with those "disciples" who wish to go with them.

After that the DOM [Direction of Management] would be adopted, and new leaders [GBCs, TPs ,etc.] would be chosen by the general devotees along with dedicated members of the Congregation [Life Members, etc.].

And further, ALL "Changed Books" would be burned, and Original Books would be exchanged free of charge for those individuals who no longer wish to keep the 'edited' ones!

Personally I believe that those gurus who resign should consider following the example of Visnujana. This would save them from much suffering in their next lives!

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das Yeah that's a nice fantasy, but ritvic philosophy is not the answer. Only the actual purifying transparent via media program and shiksha adhikar is pertinent. Making this another Jesus movement who is "the only way truth and life..." isn't going to help anything or anyone. Yes, following Srīla Prabhupāda is the active ingredient in our effective progressive devotion, but demonizing and dehumanizing everyone who doesn't want to worship like you is just another form of foolish fanaticism.

PADA: Yep, anyone who does not join the Alachua program of worshiping their illicit sex with men, women and children messiahs club is "making Srila Prabhupada into another Jesus." What does Jesus have to do with a program that worships homosexuals and pedophiles as its messiahs? 

Mrkanda Fitch

I'm just sick and tired of so-called problem obsessed critics trying to battle the mode of ignorance using the mode of passion! Only solutions primarily stemming from and situated in pure goodness will have any hope of solving and satisfying anyone or anything! Reactivity is for rodents! The only way to solve bad leadership is replacing it with good leadership! So you yourself become the solution and the leader and then it will no longer matter how the past pained you.   

PADA: OK  thousands were banned, a number were beaten, some were sued, some had to be sued, thousands were molested -- some were assassinated, and anyone who exposes that process "is in the modes of passion and ignorance." 

Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch ritvik is not a "philosophy", it is the process of initiating the new disciples ordered by Srila Prabhupada in HIS ISKCON "AFTER" His departure.

[Vrndavan, may 28, 1977]

Satsvarupa: "Then our next question concerns initiations in the future, PARTICULAR AT THAT TIME WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER WITH US. We want to know how first and second initiations would be conducted."

Prabhupada: "Yes; I shall recommend some of you. After this is settled up, I shall recommend some of you to act as officiating acharyas."

Tamala Krsna: "Is that called ritvik-acharya?"

Prabhupada: "Ritvik yes."

This was followed up with the July 9th written directive in which Srila Prabhupada named eleven "Officiating Acaryas/Ritviks" and also stated that this is to be the process of initiation HENCEFORWARD in ISKCON.

May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'TAMAL KRISHNA GOSWAMI ON WHAT PRABHUPADA SAID You cannot show me anything on tape or in writing where Prabhupada says, appoint these eleven as gurus. It does not exist, because he never appointed any gurus. This is a myth. Pyramid House Confessions, Topanga Canyon, 12-3-80 

Govinda Dasi

Mrkanda Fitch Agreed. And this is one very good way to purge it! 

PADA: Govinda dasi has been hanging out with the Narayan Maharaja people, who promoted the whole GBC illicit sex deviants as acharyas and rasika. And she says GBC gurus like Gaura Govinda are bona fide [because he was voted in along with sex with taxi drivers?]. And she had me kicked off the ISKCON history forum by calling me a "ritvik snitvik." Now she says ISKCON should be burned down, well yeah, that would cover up her complicity in supporting the cheer leaders of the regime.

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das Yes, but ritvic is not functionally different than simple transparent via media etiquette of offering up your disciple to your Guru, because He is the Ultama Adhikari Savior. So if an acting Guru is on a good Madhyama platform but in good standing and sincerely progressing then what is the harm of them acting as shiksha Guru and linking the Diksha through them to the Parampara!? Our entire lineage is like that! There is no need for something new! Only for genuine transparent sincerity, surrender, and practice.

PADA: A Madhyam cannot absorb sins, and he can also fall down. We are not supposed to worship conditioned souls as acharyas.

Mrkanda Fitch Padmagarbha Das H.G. Tamal Krishna Goswami was basically active as a leader since 1970, and then acting in the position of Guru (of whatever type) following that until his death in 2002. So you and others might say that he was acting as a "false guru" for 25 years following the disappearance of Srīla Prabhupāda. Yet it has been 22 years since then, and we can see that it was primarily immaturity and a bit of prideful foolishness, rather than any real sense of "evil hubris", that influenced him and others to prematurely take up the mantle and artificial role of "pure devotee Acharya".... 

But again, why continuously focus on the worst and negatively reinforce that in our own consciousness and in perpetuity rather than understanding it as human error and a profound learning experience through the burning of what doesn't work!? And yes he was still a very good and sincere devotee and disciple and even shiksha Guru for many wonderful devotees who are even still following and serving very nicely! 

PADA: We keep hearing this all the time, worshiping an illicit sex with men, women and children guru process is "serving nicely." Serving whom?

And I'm sorry, but my dear father-in-law and others who are so fixated on the supposed poison theory are simply themselves transmitters of poison hearted and black-minded demonic projection obsession! 

PADA: OK Srila Prabhupada is complaining about "poison" because he was a transmitter of demonic projection? I have no idea what that even means? The people who are making Prabhupada complain of poison are the black minded, notice how Mrkanda reverses the whole situation to glorify the actual black minded. Did we forget to mention that evidently thousands of Mrkanda's gurukula colleages were raped, beaten and mistreated severely by his "sincere devotees" regime and program?

So no! Such defamation and fatalistic narrative perpetuation is not at all favorable nor of actual service to His Divine Grace Srīla Prabhupāda! And the whole attitude of let's burn the institution down is just some mode of passion self aggrandizement retaliatory wounded ego revenge fantasy of those god brothers and sisters who can't or won't learn from the burn yet welcome the humility of letting bygones be bygones and primarily focus instead upon being the agents of substantial love and leadership that they so desperately would have wanted to see in their elder siblings! Good luck to all of you in your last final years of pure and simple righteous representation and legacy leaving. Jai Srīla Prabhupāda.

PADA: OK but devotees are still being banned, removed, exiled, sued, harassed and etc. And they are now trying to scuttle and remove the Child Protection Officers etc. They have no learned anything.

Padmagarbha Mrkanda Fitch this is how Srila Prabhupada describes those you consider merely <immature and a bit prideful and foolish>. But then, what is the point of me quoting Srila Prabhupada to someone who clearly has ABSOLUTELY NO faith or RESPECT in His words or His teachings. You are the perfect poster child of what are the results of the most heinous crime of this Yuga committed by a bunch of pathetic and most ambitious neophytes, or, as Srila Prabhupada calls them, <Rogues who are the most dangerous elements in human society>. You even show the very same most offensive disrespect and total disdain towards your wife's father, accusing him and those who share his conviction that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned of being <poison hearted and [guilty of] black-minded demonic projection obsession>. 

PADA: Well yeah, Mrkanda has "family issues" and no kidding, he is defending the Judas sabha of ISKCON and he thinks our complaining about the mass molesting etc. is "black hearted demoniac projection" and whining about nothing important. Calling his father in law a black hearted demon, then he wonders why he has family problems? And then Mrkanda's family and other families have to suffer, and they are, while he pontificates on "unity." We are going to unite with the people calling us black hearted demons, mainly because -- we do not accept their homosexual and pedophile messiah's program?

Padmagarbha: I personally listened [on tape] to Srila Prabhupada, on three different occasions saying that He was being poisoned. And according to Naveen Krishna dasa -- Srila Prabhupada said it also numerous times in Hindi and Bengali to Kavirajas and other guests! And then there is sufficient forensic evidence as well!

"By a false display of religious sentiments, they present a show of devotional service while indulging in all sorts of immoral activities. In this way they pass as spiritual masters and devotees of God. SUCH VIOLATORS OF RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE AUTHORITATIVE ACARYAS, THE HOLY TEACHERS IN THE STRICT DISCIPLIC SUCCESSION! To mislead the people in general, they themselves become so-called acaryas, but they do not even follow the principles of the acaryas.

THESE ROGUES ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS ELEMENTS IN HUMAN SOCIETY. Because there is no religious government, they escape punishment by the law of the State. They cannot, however, escape the law of the Supreme, who has clearly declared in Bhagavat Gita [16.19-20] that envious demons in the garb of religious propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell. Sri Isopanisad confirms that these pseudo religionists are heading towards the MOST obnoxious place in the Universe after the completion of their spiritual master business, which they conduct simply for sense gratification." [SP purport, Sri Isopanisad, Mantra Twelve]

Malati Devi Dasi: You can burn whatever externals you want but the problem is with the persons wearing / using them. Plus, not everyone in saffron commits these crimes. White dhoti’s do, too.

UTKRISHT MENDIRATTA Mugshot 01-14-2024 15:08:00 Wake County, North Carolina - Busted In Wake County

Padmagarbha Das: Malati Devi Dasi the following words by Srila Prabhupada applies to those leaders in ISKCON dressed in saffron or white who <did not commit crimes>, but who tolerated them by not speaking up!

"One who is mischievous, he is culprit. But one who tolerates mischievous activity, he is also culprit. If you are mischievous, you are criminal. But...if you tolerate mischievous activities that is also criminal.

[Morning Walk -- Los Angeles, May 3, 1973]

Mrkanda Fitch: Padmagarbha Das Yes, and the main problem is that too many are worried and concerned with being saintly and not righteous!! There is no practical nor ideal way to attain and sustain brahminical culture without real, trained, and empowered Ksatriyas!! Just as there is no useful connection of the head to the body without a neck and shoulders! 

PADA: Yeah saying the whistle blowers on mass child abuse are black hearted demons is defending -- mass child abuse, it is not defending dharma.

 Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch the truth is, EVERY SINGLE ONE of ISKCON's leaders [Gurus, GBCs, Sannyasis, and Temple Presidents] is a criminal. They are all either unauthorized gurus, or enablers of those claiming to be gurus!

"One should not pose as a spiritual master for the benefit of material gain. It is illegal [criminal] to become a spiritual master if one is unable to deliver the disciple!" [SB, 2.6.7]

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das I don't agree. Just because your house has become infested with rodents or insects doesn't mean you are culpable for that problem, only that you are responsible for their extermination!! This movement is only at best 50 years old, and there has hardly been two decades of any sense of cognizant and mature adulthood, if that, since it started! And this entire KaliYuga is an ocean of faults! 

So if we want to put ourselves on a pedestal and in the judges seat and pretend that Mahaprabhu's movement is primarily about killing or coercively correcting demons or even demonic mentality, rather than transforming it through copious amounts of merciful Divine Love and Grace, then we are simply prideful fools and are kicking the karmic and Dharmic can down the road while throwing the baby out with the bath water and others under the bus!

PADA: So we should allow children to worship an illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara to promote dharma? And they are still worshiping predators like Lokanath. 

Padmagarbha Das

Mrkanda Fitch

Srila Prabhupāda: Our business is to point out who is not a saint. (Morning Walk — April 10, 1974, Bombay)

So, please, which leader in ISKCON, presently and in the past has ever made an attempt to <exterminate> any of the rodents and insects?

Above I posted a quote by Srila Prabhupada where he equally condemns those who <tolerate mischievous behavior> with those engaged in it.

Actually your opinion, or mine on this matter they do not count, it is Srila Prabhupada who is on the Judges Seat, and only His instructions and teachings should be considered, PERIOD! Those who disagree should either start their own Movement, or join another!

"The fact is that I am the only one in India who is openly criticizing, not only demigod worship and impersonalism, but everything that falls short of complete surrender to Krishna. My Guru Maharaja never compromised in His preaching, nor will I NOR SHOULD ANY OF MY STUDENTS. We are firmly convinced that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and all other are His part and parcel servants. This we must declare boldly to the whole world, that they should not foolishly dream of world peace unless they are prepared to surrender fully to Krishna as Supreme Lord.

[ Excerpt from Letter to Giriraja -- Bombay 3 January, 1972]

Mrkanda Fitch

Padmagarbha Das are you on the level of Srīla Prabhupāda, who has the executive decision making maturity and power to transcendently discern, unfailingly see clearly, and thus be purely empowered to point out any and every and only the shadowy and poisonous faults of others, all the while maintaining a genuine merciful mood of fatherly correction towards them? And not fall victim and switch to perpetration in being triggered and then projecting your own unacknowledged shadows and personal faults!? 

You can talk and quote all you want until you are proverbially black and blue in the face about supposed idealism of scripture and previous Acharya's teachings, but until and unless we get down in the trenches of vulnerably and courageously facing the real enemies which are the Anarthas hiding behind the mess in our own mirror enough to become the empowered solution that we so desperately want to see in the world and in the movement, then we are simply fanning the flames with our self-righteous problem obsessed discontentment campaigns! You have to own it to shift it, and no amount of pointing blame or projecting shame will change anyone or anything for the better ever!

PADA: But Mrkanada and his GBC ilk have no problem judging that us opponents of pedophile messiahs are black hearted demons? 

D Devi Dasi

Padmagarbha Das

yes Srila Prabhupada Said on many occasions that we need to expose any rascals. He wanted all of his disciples to do this when necessary. He did not say one has to be 100% purely on the saintly platform same as him in order to try to expose.

I'm glad you put this comment here.

And why do others think that when sincere disciples try to expose nonsense (which is tearing apart the movement from the inside) It means they don't practice devotional service and read the books and develop love for krishna? I have seen it for years where they ask those who are trying to expose and reveal the truth… They always say why don't you practice Krishna consciousness instead? Why don't you chant and do this and that instead? I say do both!  

It is immature to think that you cannot do these two things side-by-side which is what I know you are trying to do. We may do it imperfectly but the sincere disciples attempt to practice devotional service and surrender 100% and also expose the ones who are actually destroying from within  . this is wanted. There are a lot of innocent ones who cannot find it in their hearts to follow the authorities in this deviated institutional complex  . they can't pinpoint it and they don't really understand what's going on and it is the duty of all disciples who do understand… to try to expose and clean up the mess to clear the path for the innocent ones. 

It's a dirty job but it needs to be done. Someone has to do it. Arjuna did not want to kill all of his family members and teachers and friends on the battlefield but he showed by example that one must give up high material principles and moral right and wrong in order to 100% surrender to Krishna. We cannot be concerned at all what others think but we can continue sincerely to develop love and practice devotional service and side-by-side expose those who are dirtying the path of devotion for innocent practitioners and followers. Keep up the good work because Krishna knows your heart and you are doing the best you can to expose the culprits and follow Srila Prabhupada's instructions for self-sufficiency etc. etc.  

PADA: Yeah, it is a dirty job. And the people calling us black hearted demons are helping make us targets for assassination, and that enables all the bannning, beating, molesting, suing and -- killing of vaishnavas. 

At the same time I really cannot fully blame a lot of these ISKCON youth for being defenders of the homosexual and pedophile messiah's club. A lot of their parents went after me tooth and nail when we exposed their pedo pada society, and their children just took over for them later on. Having said that, promoting or covering for pedo messiah's clubs is still a sinful illusion, and it is still our responsibility to counter it, and we cannot say "everyone else was doing it" to Yamaraja. ys pd

Bhakti Caru Swami / Madhu Pandit Dasa / Ritvik Issue in ISKCON

PADA: Yeah, we should NOT call ourselves the ritvik system. We should be the "Prabhupada acharya" system. Good idea. 

Oh boy, got some pretty heavy negative comments on Bhakti Vikas swami saying that the fallen down guru idea is acceptable in India, but not the West. 

Nope, the fallen down guru idea is not bona fide anywhere, India or West or anywhere else. Who wants to worship a guru parampara where the guru "links" are falling down left, right and center into lusty and debauchee behaviors? Not popular anywhere actually.

Flat Earthers Flattened (Mahesh Raja)

PADA: I got into another flat earth Krishna devotee conversation, and I said the ancient mariners had to make different overhead constellation maps for the upper and lower parts of earth. And they replied, many maps at the time shows the earth as flat. OK, we are talking about overhead constellation maps and not earth maps. They just cannot seem to focus. 

But a lot of the flat earth devotees are into all sorts of other conspiracy theories, like -- the Zionist bankers are making nano bots to inject into us etc. and it seems they are prone to going off into these speculations. Another one of them told me NASA is faking the photos. Oh oh, there was no NASA when the ancient mariners were making their constellation maps? 

Anyway, thanks to Mahesh Raja prabhu for this compilation.

BHU-MANDAL

Note: What is Bhu-mandala? Bhu-mandala is DUAL COMPOUND word. Bhu means earth and mandala means group. So the Bhu-mandala PLANETARY System means that there are EARTHLY PLANETS grouped together.

Our planet is called JAMBUDVIPA is in that GROUP of SAPTA (SEVEN) EARTHLY PLANETS.(1) JAMBU, (2) Saka, (3) Salmali, (4) Kusa, (5) Kraunca, (6) Gomeda, or Plaksa, and (7) Puskara. The word (dvipa) ISLAND is used in this sense because there is OCEAN OF SPACE and the EGG SHAPED PLANETS are floating in that OCEAN OF SPACE. Our planet JAMBUDVIPA is surrounded by SALT water ocean: there are various kinds of oceans in other planets. Somewhere there is an ocean of milk, somewhere there is an ocean of oil, and somewhere there is an ocean of liquor and many other types of oceans.

730930BG.BOM Lectures
That point is missing. Real enjoyer or proprietor is Krsna. Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram. He’s the proprietor. Sarva loka, not only of this loka, earthly planet, but there are innumerable planets within this universe and there are innumerable universes also, not one universe. Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti. Jagad-anda means universe. It is just like EGG SHAPE. ANDA. You can see this universe, the sky is…, horizon. So it is just like egg shape. ALL THE PLANETS AND THE UNIVERSES, THEY ARE EGG SHAPED. THEREFORE they are called ANDA, jagad-ANDA, brahmANDA. So this jagad-ANDA.

TRANSLATION
When Priyavrata drove his chariot behind the sun, the rims of his chariot wheels created impressions that later became seven oceans, dividing the planetary system known as Bhu-mandala into seven islands.

PURPORT

Sometimes the planets in outer space are called islands. We have experience of various types of islands in the ocean, and similarly the various planets, divided into fourteen lokas, are islands in the ocean of space. As Priyavrata drove his chariot behind the sun, he created seven different types of oceans and planetary systems, which altogether are known as Bhu-mandala, or Bhuloka. In the Gayatri mantra, we chant, om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam. Above the Bhuloka planetary system is Bhuvarloka, and above that is Svargaloka, the heavenly planetary system. All these planetary systems are controlled by Savita, the sun-god. By chanting the Gayatri mantra just after rising early in the morning, one worships the sun-god.


SB 5.16.1 P A Description of Jambudvipa

In this verse it is stated that the planetary system known as Bhu-mandala extends to the limits of the sunshine. According to modern science, the sunshine reaches earth from a distance of 93,000,000 miles. If we calculate according to this modern information, 93,000,000 miles can be considered the radius of Bhu-mandala. In the Gayatri mantra, we chant om bhur bhuvah svah. 

The word bhur refers to Bhu-mandala. Tat savitur varenyam: the sunshine spreads throughout Bhu-mandala. Therefore the sun is worshipable. The stars, which are known as naksatra, are not different suns, as modern astronomers suppose. From Bhagavad-gita (10.21) we understand that the stars are similar to the moon (naksatranam aham sasi). Like the moon, the stars reflect the sunshine. Apart from our modern distinguished estimations of where the planetary systems are located, we can understand that the sky and its various planets were studied long, long before Srimad-Bhagavatam was compiled. Sukadeva Gosvami explained the location of the planets, and this indicates that the information was known long, long before Sukadeva Gosvami related it to Maharaja Pariksit. The location of the various planetary systems was not unknown to the sages who flourished in the Vedic age.

SB 5.1.32 The Activities of Maharaja Priyavrata

The names of the islands are JAMBU, Plaksa, Salmali, Kusa, Kraunca, Saka and Puskara. Each island is twice as large as the one preceding it, and each is surrounded by a LIQUID substance, beyond which is the next island.

Madhya 20.218 Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Instructs Sanatana Gosvami in the Science

"Within the universe the Lord is situated in different spiritual manifestations. These are situated on seven islands in nine sections. Thus Their pastimes are going on.

PURPORT

The seven islands are mentioned in the Siddhanta-siromani:

The seven islands (dvipas) are known as (1) JAMBU, (2) Saka, (3) Salmali, (4) Kusa, (5) Kraunca, (6) Gomeda, or Plaksa, and (7) Puskara. The planets are called dvipa. Outer space is like an OCEAN OF AIR. Just as there are islands in the watery ocean, these PLANETS in the OCEAN OF SPACE are called dvipas, or islands in outer space. There are NINE KHANDAS, known as (1) Bharata, (2) Kinnara, (3) Hari, (4) Kuru, (5) Hiranmaya, (6) Ramyaka, (7) Ilavrta, (8) Bhadrasva and (9) Ketumala. THESE ARE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE JAMBUDVIPA.

KB 1 Advent of Lord Krsna

In the Vedic mantras, there is a particular type of prayer called Purusa-sukta. Generally, the demigods offer their obeisances unto Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by chanting the Purusa-sukta. It is understood herein that the predominating deity of every planet can see the supreme lord of this universe, Brahma, whenever there is some disturbance in his planet. And Brahma can approach the Supreme Lord Visnu, not by seeing Him directly, but by standing on the shore of the ocean of milk. There is a planet within this universe called Svetadvipa, and on that planet there is an ocean of milk. 

It is understood from various Vedic literatures that just as there is the ocean of salt water within this planet, there are various kinds of oceans in other planets. Somewhere there is an ocean of milk, somewhere there is an ocean of oil, and somewhere there is an ocean of liquor and many other types of oceans. Purusa-sukta is the standard prayer which the demigods recite to appease the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ksirodakasayi-Visnu. Because He is lying on the ocean of milk, He is called Ksirodakasayi-Visnu. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, through whom all the incarnations within this universe appear.

KB 89 The Superexcellent Power of Krsna

Seated on His chariot with Arjuna, Krsna began to proceed north, crossing over many planetary systems. These are described in the Srimad-Bhagavatam as SAPTA-DVIPA. Dvipa means island. All these planets, are sometimes described in the Vedic literature as dvipas. THE PLANET ON WHICH WE ARE LIVING IS CALLED JAMBUDVIPA. 

Outer space is taken as a great ocean of air, and within that great ocean of air there are many islands, which are the different planets. In each and every planet there are oceans also. In some of the planets, the oceans are of salt water, and in some of them there are oceans of milk. In others there are oceans of liquor, and in others there are oceans of ghee or oil. There are different kinds of mountains also. Each and every planet has a different type of atmosphere.

Note: There is earthly planets. Therefore earthly planetary system also. They are mistaking as flat Islands circles BUT these are ACTUALLY (BHU) EGG SHAPED EARTHLY PLANETS with different oceans salt,milk etc these are ISLANDS of the the AIR----- ALSO---- called PLANETS:

Bg 14.18 T The Three Modes Of Material Nature
Those situated in the mode of goodness gradually go upward to the higher planets; those in the mode of passion live on the earthly planets; and those in the mode of ignorance go down to the hellish worlds.

Upendra: "This part of the spiritual sky, called the mahat-tattva, is only an insignificant portion of the whole spiritual sky, and within this mahat-tattva there are innumerable universes. All these universes collectively is produced by the Karanarnavasayi Visnu called also the Maha-Visnu who simply throws His glance only to impregnate the material sky to manifest." 

Text 2. Translation: "Another plenary part of the purusa is lying down within the water of the universe from the navel lake of His body which has sprouted the lotus stem (which is the body of the universe) and on the top, from the lotus flower Brahma the master of all engineers of the universe, is generated." Purport: "The First purusa is the Karanodakasayi Visnu. 

From the skinholes of Him innumerable universes have sprung up. In each and every one of them the purusa enters as the Garbhodakasayi Visnu. He is lying in half portion of the universe full with water of His body. And from the navel of Garbhodakasayi Visnu has sprung up the stem of the lotus flower the birth place of Brahma who is the father of all living beings and the master of all the demigod engineers engaged in the matter of perfect design and working of the universal order. 

Within the stem of the lotus there are fourteen divisions of planetary system and the earthly planets are situated in the middle. Upwards there are other better planetary systems and the topmost system is called Brahmaloka or the Satyaloka. Downwards the earthly planetary system there are seven downwards planetary systems domiciled by the asuras and similar other most materialistic living beings. From this Garbhodakasayi Visnu there is expansion of the Ksirodakasayi Visnu who is the collective Paramatma of all living beings. He is called Hari and from Him all incarnations within the universe are expanded."

At the end of the millennium,the would-be Vaivasvata Manu, of the name Satyavrata, would see that the Lord in the fish incarnation is the shelter of all kinds of living entities, up to those in the EARTHLY PLANETS. Because of my fear of the vast water at the end of the millennium, the Vedas come out of my [Brahmā’s] mouth, and the Lord enjoys those vast waters and protects the Vedas.

PURPORT

During one day of Brahmā there are fourteen Manus, and at the end of each Manu there is devastation up to THE EARTHLY PLANETS, and the vast water is fearful even to Brahmā. So in the beginning of the would-be Vaivasvata Manu, such devastation would be seen by him.There would be many other incidents also, such as the killing of the famous Śaṅkhāsura. This foretelling is by the past experience of Brahmājī, who knew that in that fearful devastating scene, the Vedas would come out of his mouth, but the Lord in His fish incarnation not only would save all living entities, namely the demigods, animals, men and great sages, but would also save the Vedas.

There are three material modes of nature. If you keep yourself in touch with the material modes of nature of goodness, then you will be promoted to the higher standard of life. Urdhvam gacchanti sattva-sthah. Therefore at least, you may enjoy material life, but you should keep yourself to the standard of brahminical culture. Then there is guarantee that you don't degrade yourself; you get higher status of life in the higher planetary system: Janaloka, Maharloka, Tapoloka, Satyaloka. 

Then you will get... But if you keep yourself as it is, then you will remain in this planetary system. This is called bhur-loka. Bhur-loka. Om bhur bhuvah svah tat-savituh. You have gayatri-mantra. This is called bhu-loka. Bhuvar-loka. Then, above this, there is bhuvar-loka; then, above this, the heavenly planets. There is system. And if you keep yourself in the association of the modes of ignorance, or foolishness, then you go down. Jaghanya-guna-vrtti-stha adho gacchanti tamasah. Jaghanya-guna. Tamasika means abominable character. The abominable character means these four things: illicit sex, intoxication, meat-eating and gambling. This is tamo-guna, exhibition of tamo-guna. 

So, if you continue to keep yourself in the association of the modes of ignorance, then you are going to become adhah. Adhah means down. Down means there are many other planetary system. Just like upper there are bhur bhuvah svah, Jana, Mahar, like that, and down also: Tala, Atala, Vitala, Talatala, Patala, like that. There is system.

SB 5.1.31 P The Activities of Maharaja Priyavrata

Sometimes the planets in outer space are called islands. We have experience of various types of islands in the ocean, and similarly the various planets, divided into fourteen lokas, are islands in the ocean of space. As Priyavrata drove his chariot behind the sun, he created seven different types of oceans and planetary systems, which altogether are known as Bhu-mandala, or Bhuloka. In the Gayatri mantra, we chant, om BHUR bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam. Above the Bhuloka planetary system is BHUVARloka, and above that is SVARgaloka, the heavenly planetary system. All these planetary systems are controlled by Savita, the sun-god. By chanting the Gayatri mantra just after rising early in the morning, one worships the sun-god.

SB 5.1.32 The Activities of Maharaja Priyavrata

The names of the islands are Jambu, Plaksa, Salmali, Kusa, Kraunca, Saka and Puskara. Each island is twice as large as the one preceding it, and each is surrounded BY A LIQUID SUBSTANCE, beyond which is the next island.

KB 1 Advent of Lord Krsna

In the Vedic mantras, there is a particular type of prayer called Purusa-sukta. Generally, the demigods offer their obeisances unto Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by chanting the Purusa-sukta. It is understood herein that the predominating deity of every planet can see the supreme lord of this universe, Brahma, whenever there is some disturbance in his planet. 

And Brahma can approach the Supreme Lord Visnu, not by seeing Him directly, but by standing on the shore of the ocean of milk. There is a planet within this universe called Svetadvipa, and on that planet there is an ocean of milk. It is understood from various Vedic literatures that just as there is the ocean of salt water within this planet, there are various kinds of oceans in other planets. Somewhere there is an ocean of milk, somewhere there is an ocean of oil, and somewhere there is an ocean of liquor and many other types of oceans. 

Purusa-sukta is the standard prayer which the demigods recite to appease the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ksirodakasayi-Visnu. Because He is lying on the ocean of milk, He is called Ksirodakasayi-Visnu. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, through whom all the incarnations within this universe appear.

KB 89 The Superexcellent Power of Krsna

Seated on His chariot with Arjuna, Krsna began to proceed north, crossing over many planetary systems. These are described in the Srimad-Bhagavatam as sapta-dvipa. Dvipa means island. All these planets, are sometimes described in the Vedic literature as dvipas. THE PLANET ON WHICH WE ARE LIVING IS CALLED JAMBUDVIPA. Outer space is taken as a great ocean of air, and within that great ocean of air there are many islands, which are the different planets. In each and every planet there are oceans also. In some of the planets, the oceans are of salt water, and in some of them there are oceans of milk. In others there are oceans of liquor, and in others there are oceans of ghee or oil. There are different kinds of mountains also. Each and every planet has a different type of atmosphere.



Where do we go when we fall off the edge?

Bhakti Vikas Swami's Debauchee Gurus 01 17 24

PADA: Wow. Bhakti Vikas says that the "guru falling down" is acceptable in Hindu culture, but not so much in the West. Yeah, hee hee. Western people know that the guru has to be on the standard of Jesus. He has to be as good as God [in purity] or else they won't accept that the person as a guru. Whereas -- the BVKS "India Continental Committee" [ICC] folks have complained to me that I do not promote worship of their homosexual, pedophile, drunks, porno swamis etc. "guru parampara from Vaikuntha" because I am "a bogus mleccha." Well yup.  

After 1978 Bhakti Vikas swami helped introduce the process that Krishna's successors and acharyas are commonly falling into illicit sex with men, women and children, and orchestrating mass banning, some beatings, mass molesting of children, and some assassinations of dissenters. And that behavior is supposed to be "qualitatively as good as God"? YEESH PILGRIMS!  

Then BVKS says at the same time, we still should see his GBC annointed gurus as good as God. Ummm, BVKS's illicit sex with men, women and children guru process is equal to God in purity? So this is why Srila Prabhupada says that when a person [like BVKS] says the successors to God are often common mundane debauchees, it is the same as saying that God is a mundane man and a debauchee [because the guru is quality the same as God]. What kind of "philosophy" is it -- when we say -- illicit sex with men, women and children is "qualitatively the same as God"? Wow, and moreover these BVKS debauchee gurus are "the mercy incarnation of God." 

And when children get molested from the BVKS regime "they selected the wrong guru because they wanted to be cheated." The five years old children did not select their guru, BVKS selected these gurus and forced the children to accept. And I have a friend who lives near an ISKCON temple -- managed by one of these BVKS gurus, and my friend says he could never introduce the idea that these BVKS gurus are bogus "because they will beat me up or maybe kill me."

Yeesh! All this banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and terminating dissenters is "the mercy of God"? All of your suffering -- made by our BVKS gurus program -- is "Krishna's arrangement." And so -- your suffering -- ok like banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and terminating us dissenters -- is "your karma." 

And we are not going to find pure devotees loitering on the street. Well no, but we are going to find BVKS gurus loitering in the gambling halls in Reno chatting with the dancing girls. And some of his alleged messiahs are drinking Vodka, loitering in private rooms doing lusty things with maybe men, women and / or children, and / or watching porno, offering LSD to the shalagram etc. 

But even if so many are falling, we still have to accept they are gurus. And this is the parampara system -- of gurus falling into illicit sex with men, women and children -- left, right and center? There is good news, the illicit sex messiahs program voted in more gurus, like BVKS. We all recall that BVKS was saying Radhanath was preaching Mayavada and he was discussing lusty things in his book, and so Radhanath is not bona fide. But then BVKS recanted and apologized. 

And now BVKS just says that his promoting the worship of his illicit sex guru parampara is "found in shastra." Well yeah, Satan's Bible will tell us to worship the sinful. Then BVKS says that there will be people who take the role of guru and not fulfil it. OK but you do not "take the role of guru," you have to get the order from Krishna. Anyway, BVKS is rambling a lot here. They are gurus, we annointed them, but then they may be deviating, because we do not even bother to find out if our gurus are bona fide or not, we just rubber stamp them en masse.

And if you are cheated, you cheated others previously. Blame the victim. Well, BVKS has a licence to cheat us! Who knew! BVKS says the ritviks are bogus, yeah, worship of a pure devotee is not a good idea is it! So he wants people to worship his molester lineage pals like Lokanath swami, and the other fools, lusty dogs, Vodka drinkers, porno swamis, sex with cats pada -- and who knows what else. Anyway, here it is folks, Krishna wanted gurus, and therefore, He wanted you to follow BVKS and worship his lineage of debauchees. 

There is good news, more and more people are asking why they are promoting these assorted homos, pedos, deviants, crooks, alcoholics, lusty dogs etc. as "God's successors." Wow, challenging BVKS pedo messiahs project means -- we have no faith in Krishna. Good luck with that. Hee hee!

BVKS wants our blessings. Yeah, but we cannot bless you when shastra says -- anyone who is a false guru, or who promotes same, goes to the most obnoxious regions. Our blessings won't save anyone who does that, this deviant action is not forgiven by the Lord -- or any agents of the Lord. Our blessings do not have the potency to upend the laws of God. 

BVKS has also taken a lot of karma from a lot of people, and he will take all that burden with him into his next life. Srila Prabhupada says -- only an Uttama can take sins -- because he has brahmana tejyas to burn them off. Anyone else who takes sins -- keeps them with him into his next life. That is one reason they have to go to the most obnoxious regions, to rectify all these sins they have taken without authority.

Anyway! Yeah, good questions coming up more and more. Goody!
