BIF, May 27 2011, India — Whatever Sri Krishna’s plan re. Bangalore — in the end it will be best for devotees even if we cannot see it in our lifetime.
What we do know is that iskcon’s gbc will jackboot anyone who attempts to move away from their nine-pin guru initiation policy and their filthy sexual history. No one can preach under the shingle of Srila Prabhupada’s mutt without cowering to this regime of arrogant dictators.
To believe that ritvikism is the solution, has always been a naive approach to a very serious and entrenched problem. Even if the gbc were to accept the ism, nothing would change other than the diminution of its proponents. Albeit the gbc was always too dumb to see that.
The solution to the problem lies on the paper trail. How is it that an organization with claims to constant ongoing expansion, cries bankrupt when put under the legal hammer? The answer is simple:- they do not hold valuables or assets in a central bank but have franchised ‘gurus’ who build wealth and accounts individually.
These accounts can never be jeopardized by legal action because they are invisible. Yet the individual accounts are amassed under the iskcon tax-exemption status. So the sixty-four million dollar question is- “How is it that iskcon which was granted tax ex. status under “religious societies,” has franchised individuals (for a percentage?) to exploit the umbrella and keep personal gains tax dry?”
Also, take a look at govt. provisos in place re. pre tax ex. requisites, and then take a close look at the society’s activities in context. Do you see the breaches?
The reason the govts. don’t see it is because orgs. like iskcon disappear off the tax man’s radar soon after receiving the status (read http://www.b-i-f.org “Tax-ex Tex”.) Get a petition together. Demand an audit. Make them visible and accountable.
Prabhupada, Letter to Karandhar, Bombay 18 March, 1971: “…Bookkeeping is the most important item. As you are growing in stature, our accounting system should become very perfect. We have to publish now a short statement of accounts. As we increase our life membership number, we must submit our audited accounts and that will convince the public of our stability.”
“Otherwise, those who are renounced order, those who are brahmacari, for them to keep money separately for his maintenance or for accumulating bank balance is not allowed.”
(Bhagavad-gita lecture New York 1966)
Attack Dogs
In spite of being asked to prove his identity, the ‘Bangalore Correspondent’ failed to do so. We are cognizant with the fact that if someone does not belong to a proper and authorized guru-parampara, what he is popularly known as.
Let me not get into these details. However this ‘Bangalore Correspondent’ is a very nice trained attack dog of guru-fraudsters. I am posting this article as a reply to the following bark of this attack dog: http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/05-11/editorials7298.htm
I would first like to point out that you people are actually doing too much of claptrap about your gurus, about whom the whole world knows. We all didn’t know that inside the glass house you are all living in a state of dream thinking that this temple is Madhu Pandit Prabhu’s. I think you are not aware of the fact that thousands of disciples of Prabhupada are standing with Madhu Pandit Prabhu. He is not alone.
This temple is the property of Srila Prabhupada, which you people now want to loot. It is not 1977, 1981 or 1998, this is 2011. Don’t be under an illusion that you are right. Actually you are all blinded by a guru hoax philosophy.
Let me unveil few facts which readers would be interested to know. JPS and his disciples are stamped to be political. History has recorded this. Let me give an example of what they have done to the disciples of Srila Prabhupada.
In Mumbai, once TKG grabbed the mike, brayed into it ‘His Holiness Bhavananda Maharaja ki jai’ and being joyous His Holiness Bhavananda Maharaja took back the mike and yelled into it ‘His Holiness TKG ki jai’. These kinds of braying are prohibited in the main temple hall.
And it can surely provoke a sign of pity into the mind of anyone by witnessing such behaviour. After this incident, Yashomatinandan Prabhu visited Mayapur during the GBC meetings where he openly mocked the guru fraudsters saying that they were bogus. This angered them as they usually do.
This quality of being angry itself shows that they are not qualified to be the gurus. The spiritual master is totally free from all these 5 qualities – Egoism, envy, ignorance, misery and anger. Those so called spiritual masters then released their dogs with sticks in their hands behind Yashomatinandan Prabhu chasing him all over the campus.
He is a Temple President, the ultimate managing authority in the temple. And he was chased all across the temple by these attack dogs. He then approached His Holiness Hrishikesha Swami requesting him to look what they were doing to him. His Holiness Hrishikesha Swami looked at him and in a convicted state of lost mind, said – “Don’t you think you deserve it?”
Hearing these sharp words Yashomatinandan Prabhu was taken aback. He was then grabbed by those attack dogs, who caught him by his neck and dragged him to the quarters of JPS forcing him to massage JPS’s feet and asking for pardon to be left safely.
This is how they treated such a respectable personality. Such shame on them! Below verse outlines all their qualities perfectly making them the imperfect man to become guru.
dambho darpo ‘bhimanas ca
krodhah parusyam eva ca
ajnanaḿ cabhijatasya
partha sampadam asurim
Pride, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance—these qualities belong to those of demoniac nature, O son of Pritha. Bg 16.4
Why should Madhu Pandit Prabhu walk out of the temple? He is an authorized Temple President chanting his 16 rounds every day, following all 4 regulative principles strictly, sincerely rendering his services as per the instructions of Srila Prabhupada and guiding the devotees as per the instructions of Srila Prabhupada.
Why should he walk out from the temple? YOU SHOULD GET OUT FROM THIS MOVEMENT what to speak of getting out from the temple? It is gurus who have poached the properties of Srila Prabhupada. Many disciples of Prabhupada have left the movement from 1982-1998 but it was only Madhu Pandit Prabhu who stood against the entire false army of these people.
Like you, we are not interested in the positions or the temples. We are more bothered about the preaching. With the control of unelected GBC, this model of preaching will fail as it has already. These gurus have been fighting for the properties. If JPS is such a powerful acharya, why doesn’t he open institutions?
Why personally harassing the disciples of Prabhupada and ripping them of their services? All of you are bound by this offense to Srila Prabhupada. JPS could not even develop Mayapur project, what to speak of maintaining this Bangalore temple. I know it is falling on the deaf ears nonetheless we want readers to know the actual history!
Silence means you are accepting the money and exploiting the temples. As rightly questioned by Aishwarya Kumar, can anyone of your gurus declare their assets and bank accounts in court? JPS was a GBC for Trivandrum, Chennai, Hyderabad – instead of growth, these temples are coming down in their activities.
That Vedanta Chaitanya in Hyderabad, being again one of their kinds tried stopping our preaching. Instead of stopping other’s preaching, he should first try to arrange for the offering of Deities in his own temple who were so lovingly installed by Srila Prabhupada.
You are all interested in the disciples and transferring guru-dakshina into your personal accounts. However there was only such drastic progress in Bangalore temple that due to the endeavors of Madhu Pandit Prabhu. Don’t think he is alone.
Thousands of them are there to fight you people and see to it that Prabhupada’s legacy is protected. For us all Prabhupada is still living and the words he has spoken are our lives.
Is that supposed to be a response to my article? Who asked me to prove my identity? I’m not obligated to prove my identity to anyone. You want to know who I am so that you have gundas come and beat me up like you did to Varada Krsna, is that what you want?
Even Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura wrote articles under assumed names in his newspapers to criticize certain people. Did you know that?
It is beneath my dignity to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Let Vicked and Dandarama, Bangalore correspondent and all the chelas of JPS and the fallen gurus know very well that Krishna as kala is awaiting them in the Supreme Court… We can see that Dandarama is sweating and the Vicked’s seat is getting very hot.
Dear Bangalore Correspondent.
1. I don’t know what relation you have with Rochana Dasa of Sampradaya Sun, who puts up only your articles and tries to avoid us from knowing you are. As per the Vaishnavas in the following article: http://www.prabhupadanugas.eu/news/?p=19868, it seems to me that Rochana Dasa is trying to impersonate himself. This is a very dirty work.
2. We want to know who you are not because to send gundas and beat you up but only to know if you are not a SPY in our temple because you have been writing very live updates. Some of your spies like Rathish, Siddharth and Sanatana Dasa have already met police before they meet Yamaraja.
So basically you are afraid to meet the same fate, which they had. And just like your expert salesman Varada Krishna Dasa (From now we shall all know him as VKD (Wicked/Vicked) and Dandarama.
3. We are not interested in such gundaism like how you people are. You have been planning to get inside the temple with gundas and take over the temple.
4. Whole world knows that Vicked is the one who does this dirty business of beating up devotees. He was not even once beaten by the temple for any such reason. Ask your Vicked only.
5. This work is not called as dignity. Dignity means standing up on your legs, in your name and then speak. That is called dignity. It is not out of fear that you are doing so but it is out of your true love for your Gunda Guru that you are doing such. Words like dignity don’t suit you. Let that be clear.
In early Jan 1978, I gave a $60,000 (sixty thousand (US) dollars) donation to the NYC temple, my requesting a patron membership card, Romapada as TP of NYC 340 W. 55th St. temple, signing the card. (I asked for the patron membership card because due to a mistake on Romapada’s part, his thinking that I was another Godsister who had the same name as me at that time, and had been sexually involved with some sannyasis, when I arrived at the NYC temple, I was told to leave, my being given no reason why. Kirtanananda had just closed the Buffalo temple (and sold the building). I had been given permission from my TP to go to visit Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, my TP writing a letter to Romapada telling him that I would be coming. Long story short, Romapada (I found out later), thinking I was some other person, had given instruction to Trilokesvara prabhu, the receptionist, that when I arrived at the NYC temple, I should not be allowed to come in. So from 2:00pm when I had arrived until 10:00pm, I was being told that I wasn’t allowed to see the Deities, that I had to leave, getting threatened with getting beaten up if I didn’t leave, and getting the police to come to make me leave, yet no explanation was given as to what I “had done” that such thing was happening. When I telephoned my TP (from a public telephone booth), to tell him what was going on, he called Romapada, and I was then told I “could come in.”
After some days I was asked to stay and live in the W. 55th st temple, to serve Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, so I stayed. At this time, I had received a settlement from some previous situation, so I donated $60,000 to the temple, and asked for a patron membership card (and asked for nothing else – no books, etc., that go along with such purchase of this card), only because of what had happened, my thinking that is somehow in the future I ever went to any temple for a visit, I would just present the card and would be giving accommodation. (At that time, life members – Hey, we get MONEY!!! from them!!! – were considered to be much more important than the peons who surrendered their lives to come to live in the temples to serve Srila Prabhupada and Their Lordships. So for the above practical reason, I asked for the card in return for the donation.)
The reason for this story: From 1999 through to 2003, I was taking care of a Godsister who had bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. While I was out of town, she decided to get rid of some things, besides other things, including my ID and the patron membership card.
When I asked for a replacement of the card, the life membership director, Narada Rsi, already having seen the card when I was trying to update it to the new system of an ISKCON Patron membership passport, told me “You have to go to Ramabhadra or Romapada for a new card. I am not allowed to give you.” So after writing to both of them (and getting no replies to the many emails I sent), I finally got to see Romapada directly in 2005, to ask him for the replacement card.
Although this was almost 30 years later from when the donation was made (with Romapada signing the card), he said to me that he “was going to check with the devotee who was the treasurer at that time in the W. 55th st temple. (According to Romapada, this devotee was now living in either CA or Hawaii.) When Romapada got back to me (my still being in NYC, and going to him to ask if he had called), he said he had. He told me “The treasurer doesn’t remember having received such a donation.” THEN Romapada said the following (and I was SHOCKED!!! to hear this): “The brahmacari to whom you gave this money to, must have put it into his bank account.” BANK ACCOUNT!!! IN JANUARY 1978??? (I know that now SOME of these SINyasis have HUGE bank accounts, as do some brahmaCHERRIES, but at THAT!!! time?) I remember reading in Srila Prabhupada’s Krsna Book (I believe in the Sudama Brahmin sections), the explanation of how a brahmacari collects alms on behalf of the Spiritual Master, and EVERYTHING is given to the Spiritual Master; thus, what was the question of a brahmacari having a bank account.
Maybe Romapada was speaking of his OWN bank account? I know he’s a rich SINyasi, between the “donations” he gets and his business ventures; lending Sri Sri Radha-Govinda $90,000 at a high interest rate charged for the loan. (I was told by another devotee it was at 14% interest rate, but I don’t know for sure if 14% is the correct interest rate he charged.) Romapada also does the business of putting up the money for someone to purchase a house, their paying him back at high interest rates. From some devotees connected with the NYC temple throughout the years (from Henry Street on), I was told that Romapada as a brahmacherry, (purposely spelled cherry), did have a bank account.
Wow: HOW NAIVE!!! I was back then…
Your servant,
B. Radha-Govinda
