Indradyumna Swami’s Girls and Bikini Entourage
Indradyumna Swami loves to play photographer taking photos of bikini girls
These photos are very sweet and innocent and fall into the category of family photos, where the adult is usually a relative, close family friend or Father Christmas. They are certainly not in the realm of the activities of a sannyasi.
Indradyumna Swami knows exactly what he is doing and so is not innocent. He knows very well his duty and responsibility as an ISKCON sannyasi. He knows very well that Srila Prabhupada, sastra and Vaisnava tradition instructs that a sannyasi should never act in such a unchaste manner. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that he is intentionally besmirching and degrading the sannyasi ashram to play his role in destroying Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON from within. No matter how much preaching he is doing does not equate with such flagrant violation of the sacred sannyas ashram moral code and blatant disobedience to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.
Indradyumna Swami –
Likes to be around young and little girls. He likes to play the role of the “spiritual” uncle and grandpa. He enjoys hugging little girls; he takes pleasure playing with them whilst they sit on his lap. He is very special sannyasi, because he can do all that without any problems. He loves to play photographer taking photos of bikini girls and posting them on his profile for everyone to see how special he and his “preaching” is. He also likes to enjoy the luxury of a five star hotels, as any normal FISKCON sannyasi should.
Yes, you can be swami playing with girls, just smile, be nice and sweet, pat people on the back, or just give’em a hug, is all-right as long as you follow the criminal elite of FISKCON.
Indradyumna Swami is well known for his affection of cute pretty little girls. The parents of these children offer their little darlings to him with open arms. The Swami on the other hand is always eager to accept their children with open arms – well from the photographic evidence he only likes the cute ones…
From a concerned mother: Being a parent it concerns me deeply about the Tours that ISwami [Indradyumna Swami] is conducting in Poland. To many of us parents these tours are nothing but using Krishna Consciousness to gain followers and fame. Iswami uses sexuality to sell his image as a God like Guru. The girls from very young fall for this sleaze and innocently follow him around like love sick puppies. How do I know this? My daughter was one of them. She fell in love with Iswami when he came to our Temple when she was six years old. My daughter grew up in love with Iswami. It was as simple as that. As a parent I have watched the shenanigans of Iswami and how he uses his sex appeal to attract little girls to fall in love with him. He openly says that he loves them. He said this to our daughter once and she was overjoyed. » more «
Indradyumna’s Beach Party Girls
After a few public complaints, Indradyumna Swami has finally removed some of the more lewd photos of little girls and young women in bikinis from his public photo collections on his personal Facebook account. His reasoning for doing so is yet to be revealed, however the fact that they have been selectively removed is quite possibly indicative of the pressure being placed upon him from public outrage. However, one would sincerely hope and pray that it is from the realization that he is in a fallen state of consciousness which needs to be rectified.
Indradyumna’s disciples will never use the censored photos photo album to show their Grandparents or their friends while proudly proclaiming them as the glorious preaching activities of their beloved guru Mahārāja. The other photos, singled out, could be taken as preaching activities like any scenes showing Hari Nama or scenes which depict book distribution etc but semi naked girls and women in bikinis can never be singled out as a ‘theme’ and made into a collection. Think about what kind of person would have such a collection? Would a Vaiṣṇava Ācārya have such a collection? Surely most moral people or religious people would consider it something verging on soft core pornography? I believe most moral people would make the very same distinction.
The important question is – how come the disciples cannot make this distinction? To the rational mind and proper intelligence it is not possible to reconcile the activities of their guru with any moral or spiritual code. Yet somehow the disciple’s natural defence mechanism ‘kicks in’ which ensures that they don’t see the wrong in their guru’s actions or activities against their better judgement. They thus enter a state of denial where no reason or falsifiable evidence can make any difference to their choices. They can in this state of delusion commit heinous and violent crimes against those who they believe are attacking them or their gurus.
They do not want to be disillusioned… They want to remain in illusion for it is better than facing the fact that the choices they have made have been wrong. Their guru is not a pure devotee even though the GBC has appointed them as such and their fellow ‘illusionites’ worship them and chant their guru’s glories. When someone is in such a state of denial, especially if that person is denying the truth of the actual status of their guru, they are enabling their guru to stay in the state of illusion. Who will help this poor wretched soul then? Not the GBC or their so called peers or friends. They all desire that the abhorrent behaviour is covered up.
Sin-dradyumna Swami – A Disciples Tale…
Kṛṣṇacandra Dāsa – Śrī Vṛndāvan Dham:
I am writing in response to the below ‘comment’ to the Article “Indradyumna Swami – What Would Śrīla Prabhupāda Say?” As this is the only comment from a disciple I decided to address the ‘logical inconsistencies’ in an article rather than leaving it as a comment. The following is the unedited comment:
Haribol!
I offer my humble reverence to my Guru Śrīla Indradyumna Swami, all devoties and all normal People
In the past the People wos bathing in Cloths and not in Bikinis or bathing underwears.
I am shure that in the Time of Śrī Krisna Caitanya wos not posible to found a beach where many thousands naked people are lying hours and do nothing.
How should Swami preach, when he should not at all to see, woman in bikini or to speak with inappropriate dressed woman.
Can anyone say to Indradyumna Swami, you can not go to the beach, playing Mṛdaṅga and preach, cose on the beach are many “naked” People.
And if some of them begin dancing, in Kīrtana or wishing making Foto with you , you should jump into the Baltik Sea, or make a suicide.
Maybe Devoties should build a PAPA-MOBILE for Indradyumna Swami to protect from naked People, and when Devoties going in Harinām we can drive Indradymna Swami in PAPA- MOBILE or GURU-MOBILE…..cool ..that will be very funny ..;)
Kavitā d & Familie (Austria)
Dear Kavitā D, please forgive me but I am not sure if you are joking or serious with this comment?
However, I shall take it that you are serious…
It is important to note that when I wrote the above article my intention was to; not only expose the “fallacy” that an ISKCON Sannyāsa represents our Vaiṣṇava tradition of renunciation; but to also open a forum for any of Indradyumna Swami’s followers to give intelligent rationale why he should be allowed to maintain his Sannyāsa status after being exposed as being a vāntāśī in such an blatantly obvious way.
However, you offer only ‘excuses’ for his misbehaviour which is merely a ‘defence mechanism’ and most definitely not a rationale based on śāstric evidence which can exonerate or give license for amoral activity.
You give the idea of a Pope Mobile as if it was a joke but when you considered what role this man plays in your life as his disciple, and then draw parallels to his status being similar to that of the Pope himself for the Roman Catholics. The Pope of course would never degrade himself to take photos of little girls in bikinis so why do you accept that your Sannyāsa Guru would do what the Pope would not?
I suppose you have not heard that in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s time it was the 60s and 70s – the age of Sex Drugs and Rock’n’roll, it was the flower children era, the hippie era, the free sex era, there were plenty of naked women around and plenty of cameras and of course plenty of beaches.
But you never saw Śrīla Prabhupāda taking photos of little girls or women in bikinis!!!!! You never saw His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda degrade himself to enact such a amoral and reprehensible behaviour as taking gratuitous photos of half naked females.
Śrīla Prabhupāda is an ambassador of the Lord sent here to teach pure devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He was not here to parade around with Barbie Doll Damsels sporting a baseball cap and camera as he stalks the beach looking for random little girls in bikinis to photograph and publish on his “Facebook” account!
Indradyumna Swami has no business being on a beach where there are half naked women. He is a Sannyāsa for God’s sake!
Take a look at the photos on Indradyumna Swami’s Girls article and tell me in how many of those photos is one able to discern that there is anything devotional going on? If you took all of those photos that I provided in that article and posted them as an album on your own Facebook account I bet your wife would have something to say about it!
Even the most modernistic liberated feminist woman groomed in the political correctness of the Secular society will not tolerate such a perverted collection of photos.
There is no sign of a Harināma party. No sign of any devotees. Just little girls in bikinis… Think about it for a moment. These are simply gratuitous photos of half naked little girls and young women who could be anywhere on any beach… What good is there in that?
Are you out of your mind? Have you any common sense or common decency? What happened to you?
Did you come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness to be shoved into more ignorance than the so called “NORMAL” people of this world?
If you seriously cannot understand what I am saying then there is no hope for you whatsoever. You and your guru Sindradyumna Swami are headed for somewhere no normal person would voluntarily go…
If your comment is a meant as a joke then fine but if you are actually being serious, if you actually believe that the Swami is correct by any standard then you are in one hell of an illusion…
Establish first that he is following Śrīla Prabhupāda, then that he is a pure devotee, then that his taking of photos of little girls in bikinis with no reference to any spiritual activity is for preaching… Then you have something to say, something worthy of writing and something worthy of listening to…
Remember that one should not commit offences on the strength of chanting the Holy Name of the Lord. No amount of festival tours, no amount of whipping up the crowd into a frenzy of passionate sensual ecstasy, no amount of prasādam distributed will nullify his sinful activities. A pure devotee does not intentionally sin and chant simultaneously. It does not work this way. WAKE UP! JĪVA JĀGO!
Rajesh says:
Poeple like you supported Sahjiya Sexyasi Gurus and spoiled Srila Prabhupada’s mission into Cheap Sexyasi Sahajiya Cult. There were beaches in Srila Prabhupada’s time. Come on! beaches are not a new invention! Srila Prabhupada never painted hands of young women the way Sindradyumna Sexyasi did. You people does not know what is real Guru and what are Sanyasa standards. You people don’t WANT to realize why Mahaprabhu punished Junior Haridasa. You people does not know why Srila Prabhupada rejected to talk to his 70 year old sister alone.(To set standards). To sahajiya people like you Illicit sex is a Religiosity. All Glories to your Sahajiya Sexyasa Cult.
Bhakta Aaron says:
Sin-dradyumna Swami is a old lusty guy, a pervert Sexyasi lusting after young gils.
I was into S-indradymna Swami for years but it freaked me out how the girls go after him and the guys hang around to make money or get with the girls. Then I got real. I educated myself on what a pure devotee is. But come on are you so dumb to think that the swami is the real thing? He is an old pervert who needs to get married and have his own kids instead of lusting after other peoples kids. Get real. What sort of trip is this old fool on to think he can parade around taking photos like that? What about the other old lusty guys hanging around him like they too can get some action. This is sick sick sick. Wake up if you have girls then keep them the hell away from that guy he is trouble spelt PERVERT!

Is this Swami Indradumana or a Jayapataka Swami or Radhanath swami or any other Swami or Sanayssi or any other so called self made GBC gurus in the present Iskcon or gurus in the Gaudiya Maths KRSNA CONSCIOUS ?????????
HDG. Srila Prabhupada explains what it takes to become KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS during the Morning Walk — December 10, 1975, Vrndavana ;
Visala: I remember over five years ago you telling me about, “If you read the first nine cantos of Srimad-Bhagavatam, you become fully Krsna conscious.” Would you kindly tell me what does it mean to be fully Krsna conscious?
Prabhupada: What do you understand, fully Krsna conscious?
Visala: What does it mean to be fully Krsna conscious?
Prabhupada: No, what you mean, first of all let me know.
Harikesa: What do you think fully Krsna concious means? You tell Prabhupada.
Visala: It’s to see Krsna face to face?
Prabhupada: That means Krsna conscious? Everyone is seeing Krsna face to face. When you go to the temple Krsna is there, and you are seeing. Does it mean everyone is Krsna conscious?
Visala: No.
Prabhupada: Then what is the meaning of Krsna conscious?
Indian man: Brahma-bhutah prasannatma na socati na kanksati [Bg. 18.54].
Prabhupada: Hm, that is part of Krsna consciousness, brahma bhutah. Real Krsna consciousness is: “Krsna is master, I am servant.” This is Krsna consciousness.
Visala: To understand that you’re the servant and Krsna is the master. I see.
Prabhupada: When you fully understand, that is your Krsna… That is Krsna conscious. [break] So long you think that “I can also become like Krsna,” then you are not Krsna conscious.
Visala: In other words, if you still have material desires you can’t be fully Krsna conscious.
Prabhupada: Yes. That is the beginning of Krsna consciousness, anyabhilasita-sunyam [Brs. 1.1.11]. Make all your material desires zero.
Visala: Thank you very much.
Prabhupada: That is Krsna conscious. You should only desire to serve Krsna. [break] …clear or not?
Visala: Very clear. Thank you very much.
Harikesa: What if a person doesn’t desire material enjoyment, but still, there is so much dirt?
Prabhupada: Hm? Who is that person who has no material desires?
Harikesa: A person really wants to be Krsna conscious, but somehow or another, so much dirts gets in the way.
Prabhupada: Yes. Dirt means it is not yet zero. I said that all material desires should be made zero.
Anyabhilasita-sunyam [Brs. 1.1.11].
Harikesa: As soon as the desires completely change, then everything else is purified.
Prabhupada: Yes. As Arjuna said, karisye vacana tava, nasto mohah: “Now my illusion is over. I agree to act as you say.” This is Krsna conscious. Nasto moha smrtir labdh tvat prasadan madhusudana. [break] The moha is there. Moha means these desires are illusion, like dreaming. In dream we see so many things. They are all false. In dreaming I am seeing that somebody is coming to kill me but there is nobody, but still, I am dreaming. This is called moha. So when one is free from moha, then he’s Krsna conscious. The whole material world is going on under such illusion. Therefore it is called maya.
Hare Krsna. Thank you. (end)
Jai Srila Prabhupada.
IDS would roll into our centre and dominate the men with his Alpha Male addiction. He was famous for kicking the devotees up the arse when they danced in kirtan just to belittle them. The ladies and girls would all laugh, thinking it a great joke. Husbands became laughing stock in the eyes of the wives. Never mind that these were the guys working rain or shine year round to keep the centre open so he could come and take service and money from everyone without lifting a finger. You have to ask yourself, who the hell behaves like that?
These ‘senior devotees’ appear so heavily conditioned by their sense of superiority that they cannot see, let alone hear, what others clearly observe. As I write, several famous men who held big positions in the entertainment industry, (and were considered beyond reproach) are facing court cases for child molestation. But no worries mate our swamis are above that,.. pure.. like Bhavananda ,.. Lokanatha,..err I mean Prabhavisnu,.. okay give me a minute,…?
Joking aside, surely a sincere, intellegent swami would see how inappropriate this behaviour is in this day and age? So the big question is, why can’t he give it up??
PS: I challenge anyone who is offended by the above article to photocopy the accompanying pictures and show them to your work friends, parents, brothers, sisters, and others who are not emotionally attached to the situation. And then listen REAL CAREFUL to their response. If you are unwilling to do this then maybe it’s because deep down inside you know there’s no way in the world that this is even a little bit OKAY.
Here in Australia, the law is so strict that you can be prosecuted for taking photos of children anywhere, such as parks, swimming pools, beaches, kid’s sporting games etc…even of your own kids!
Srila Prabhupada banned this bogus ‘sannyasa’ asram in 1977, but still there are 30 or more on the GBC wanna-be waiting list from the 2013 AGM. Such a disgrace!
BTW in the poster advertising his programs appearing in Sun article http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/01-14/editorials11252.htm , the swami is shown as being way above Krsna, what to speak of the tiny photo of Srila Prabhupada, barely visible in the bottom left hand corner.

Slimy lusty guys are going to immediately like these photos very much and think to join the Hare Krishna movement to get facility to enjoy, dance and eat with loving women and budding young girls, polluting their natural desire to love Lord Krishna into lusting over them. Thus the movement started to destroy this enjoying sensual spirit in all of us will become the movement to join if you want to play the roles of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna to extreme. It has to be stopped.
“Regarding the position of a person who does not speak even when he knows the truth: jani saksi nahi deya tara papa haya. A person who knows things as they are and still does not bear witness becomes involved in sinful activities.’”
(Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, May 17, 1975, Perth, Australia)
Women need to take up the charge against this heavily. We want to be servants of Sri Krishna and His surrendered, pure servants like Srila Prabhupada so we can make our human lives successful not to be fooled yet again into some unauthorized, weird sexual attraction and attachment to a Krishna wanna-be.
“And this kind of hypocrisy–they have taken sannyasa and mixing with woman. This is not to be allowed. If you want woman you get yourself married, live respectfully. We have no objection. But this hypocrisy should be stopped. There have been so many fallen down. First of all there will be no sannyasi anymore. I have got very bad experience. And at least, we are not going to create new sannyasis. And those who have fallen down, let them marry, live like respectable gentlemen. I have no objection. […]
Get one wife and live like a gentleman. Similarly woman. Live with one husband fastidiously, with children. What is the wrong there? We have so many grhastha devotees. […]
But what is this nonsense that you take sannyasa and make relation with…? This should be completely stopped.”

Sannyasa ashram outlawed in ISKCON after 1977
“If you talk in the modern society they will laugh: “What nonsense this man is… ‘By sex life one becomes conditioned.’ “ They cannot understand. Hare Krsna…This should be strictly outlawed, no more sannyasis. And those sannyasis who have fallen, you get them married, live like a… No more this showbottle, cheating. It is very ludicrous. Even there is a promise that “We shall not fall down again,” that is also not believable. What is the use?”

Sannyasis forbidden from business activities
“Business must be done by the grhasthas, not by the sannyasis or brahmacaris.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 22/1/76)
“The brahmacaris and sannyasis must stick to the temple activities.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 4/9/75)
Useless activities for sannyasis
“This is Vedic civilization, not to waste a single moment of life for useless attempt. That is Vedic civilization. Every moment should be utilized. Especially for the human being, it’s so valuable. And they are finding out sporting, swimming and surfing—simply all programs of wasting time, especially in the Western countries. How much they have invented, I see only and laugh. The elderly men of your age, of course, maybe my age also, they are swimming and surfing”.
(Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, 11/11/75)
“We are not interested in these things like hatha-yoga and swimming. We do not encourage such useless activities.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 6/1/75)
Sannyasis living at the expense of householders not accepted by Lord Caitanya
“Then this is a hint by Lord Caitanya that a sannyasi who has renounced everything, if he lives very gorgeously, with good dress, and good house, and apartment…
No. This is not approved by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Then what is that? Whatever is absolutely necessity, he should accept, not more. Yes. That is renounced order of life, not that in the name of renounced order of life he should live at the expense of the householders, very gorgeously. No. This is not sannyasa.
It is not accepted by Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s sampradaya.”
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 21/11/66)
Below we read a report by disciples of ISKCON GBC voted-in guru, HH Bhakti Caru Swami (BCS), describing him directing business ventures, engaging in swimming, saunas, jacuzzis, and also enjoying the facilities of a householder. We will let the readers decide in light of the above quotes if these activities are compatible with the austere sannyasa ashrama:
“There, Guru Maharaja is able to ‘take it easy,’ so to speak, namely resting, catching up on correspondence, and guiding the various business ventures of (…) prabhu and his associates. Every morning at seven, Guru Maharaja goes down to the indoor pool to swim several laps and spend time in the sauna, one after another, repeatedly for four or five times. […]
On Gurudev’s request in the Jacuzzi this morning […]
On a previous day Gurudev whilst sitting in the Jacuzzi […]
This morning Gurudev continued to glorify (…) Prabhu’s mother, expressing how nice she was, and how beautiful her home in Beverly Hills was. Gurudev recalled “I swam in the pool in the backyard, it was a nice pool”.
“An easily identifiable and shameless sinner slides into depravity alone, whereas a sinful man posing as a saint is far worse because he drags his followers along with him down to the darkest hell.” (Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata 2.20.140-41)

Krsna consciousness is not a public global show polluted by our sentiments contaminate by the stink influences of the three gunas of material nature. Better to stay alone then by making spiritual wealth in the paravyoma instead of accumulate more duskhotta bad karma by being proud to say this is my life, but the so called flickring happiness you are feeling among young teen girls in bikini is like the pleasure feeled by the worm inside the stools.
Come one we know is difficulty to behave through a unknowing spiritual identity but this is not the parampara way to show to the world about what you aren’t, a genuine sannyasi never behaves like that, he is too busy to save himself by practicing the renounce order of life you are busy for the opposite purpose,kamala dala jala jivana talamala it’s all flickring and aparampara what you are doing. It is true that God makes people blind who are too lusty, i think you are one of them just wait for the fake reflection to disappear again then you can understand that you just been a puppet in the hands of the gunas by spoiling the mercy of SRILA PRABHUPADA on you.
Wake up you are not getting younger anymore given up this mood of fake rasa lila desire and make wise people to stop to laugh on your ridiculous behavior surround by naked children, find out who you are first then you can behave wisely not like that

These ISKCON Anti Ritvik womaniser types are not sannyasis they are SEX-yasis and SIN-yasis.
Sannyasa Asram is to lead a life of TAPASYA austere life to preach the message of Krsna. The bodily needs are kept to the BARE MINIMUM eating like Ragunatha das Goswami to CONTROL the senses:
SB 1.3.13
This spiritual realization is obtained by tapasya, or undergoing voluntarily the path of penance and abstinence from material pleasure. THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED FOR ABSTINENCE IN MATERIAL PLEASURES ARE CALLED DHIRA, OR MEN UNDISTURBED BY THE SENSES. ONLY THESE DHIRAS CAN ACCEPT THE ORDERS OF SANNYASA, AND THEY CAN GRADUALLY RISE TO THE STATUS OF THE PARAMAHAMSA, WHICH IS ADORED BY ALL MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
SB 3.24.34 P
Actually, sannyasa, or renunciation of material household life, necessitates complete absorption in Krsna consciousness and immersion in the self. ONE DOES NOT TAKE SANNYASA, FREEDOM FROM FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY IN THE RENOUNCED ORDER OF LIFE, TO MAKE ANOTHER FAMILY OR TO CREATE AN EMBARRASSING TRANSCENDENTAL FRAUD IN THE NAME OF SANNYASA. THE SANNYASI’S BUSINESS IS NOT TO BECOME PROPRIETOR OF SO MANY THINGS AND AMASS MONEY FROM THE INNOCENT PUBLIC
Antya 12.113
“Have I taken sannyasa for such happiness? Accepting this oil would bring My ruination, and all of you would laugh.
Antya 12.113P
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu declared Himself a strict sannyasi. A SANNYASI IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE HELP FROM ANYONE. Retaining a masseur to give Him massages would indicate His DEPENDENCE ON OTHERS. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to follow very strictly the principle of not accepting anyone’s help for His bodily comfort.
72-07-29. Letter: Hrdayananda
SANNYASI MUST BE INDEPENDENT AND NOT RELY UPON TEMPLES TO PAY HIS EXPENSIVE TRAVELLING COSTS, SIMPLY HE MUST TAKE KRISHNA’S MERCY WHENEVER AND WHEREVER IT IS OFFERED.
SB 1.6.13 P
It is the DUTY OF A MENDICANT (PARIVRAJAKACARYA) TO EXPERIENCE ALL VARIETIES OF GOD’S CREATION BY TRAVELING ALONE THROUGH ALL FORESTS, HILLS, TOWNS, VILLAGES, ETC., TO GAIN FAITH IN GOD AND STRENGTH OF MIND AS WELL AS TO ENLIGHTEN THE INHABITANTS WITH THE MESSAGE OF GOD. A SANNYASI IS DUTY-BOUND TO TAKE ALL THESE RISKS WITHOUT FEAR, and the most typical sannyasi of the present age is Lord Caitanya, who traveled in the same manner through the central Indian jungles, enlightening even the tigers, bears, snakes, deer, elephants and many other jungle animals. In this age of Kali, sannyasa is forbidden for ordinary men. ONE WHO CHANGES HIS DRESS TO MAKE PROPAGANDA IS A DIFFERENT MAN FROM THE ORIGINAL IDEAL SANNYASI. One should, however, take the vow to stop social intercourse completely and devote life exclusively to the service of the Lord. THE CHANGE OF DRESS IS ONLY A FORMALITY. LORD CAITANYA DID NOT ACCEPT THE NAME OF A SANNYASI, AND IN THIS AGE OF KALI THE SO-CALLED SANNYASIS SHOULD NOT CHANGE THEIR FORMER NAMES, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF LORD CAITANYA. In this age, devotional service of hearing and repeating the holy glories of the Lord is strongly recommended, and one who takes the vow of renunciation of family life need not imitate the parivrajakacarya like Narada or Lord Caitanya, BUT MAY SIT DOWN AT SOME HOLY PLACE AND DEVOTE HIS WHOLE TIME AND ENERGY TO HEAR AND REPEATEDLY CHANT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES LEFT BY THE GREAT ACARYAS LIKE THE SIX GOSVAMIS OF VRNDAVANA.
Madhya 7.23
“BEING A SANNYASI, I HAVE A DUTY TO LIE DOWN ON THE GROUND AND TAKE A BATH THREE TIMES A DAY, EVEN DURING THE WINTER. But Mukunda becomes very unhappy when he sees My severe austerities.
730803BG.LON
Prabhupada: Anasritah karma-phalam karyam karma karoti yah. Do not take shelter of your result of your activities. You must take it as duty. He is sannyasi. Anasritam karma-phalam karyam karma karoti yah, sa sannyasi. He’s actually sannyasi. A SANNYASI DOES NOT BECOME SIMPLY BY CHANGING DRESS. NO. SANNYASI MEANS HE’S TO WORK FOR KRSNA. WITHOUT TAKING SHELTER OF THE RESULT. It doesn’t matter. “Krsna has ordered, and Krsna’s representative has ordered. Therefore I have to do it.” Karyam karma karoti yah. sa sannyasi.
76-01-13.Letter: Jayatirtha
SO FAR YOUR SUGGESTION THAT THEY SEW CLOTHES FOR THE SANNYASIS DEITIES IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Sannyasis may have NO connection with women
Madhya 3.6P
In connection with this verse, which is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.23.57), Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that of the sixty-four items required for rendering devotional service, acceptance of the symbolic marks of sannyasa is a regulative principle. If one accepts the sannyasa order, his main business is to devote his life completely to the service of Mukunda, Krsna. IF ONE DOES NOT COMPLETELY DEVOTE HIS MIND AND BODY TO THE SERVICE OF THE LORD, HE DOES NOT ACTUALLY BECOME A SANNYASI. IT IS NOT SIMPLY A MATTER OF CHANGING DRESS. In Bhagavad-gita (6.1) it is also stated, anasritah karma-phalam karyam karma karoti yah. sa sannyasi ca yogi ca: one who works devotedly for the satisfaction of Krsna is a sannyasi. THE DRESS IS NOT SANNYASA, BUT THE ATTITUDE OF SERVICE TO KRSNA IS.

SO FAR THE QUESTION OF MARRIAGE, THIS IS GENERALLY NOT THE CONCERN OF A SANNYASI. THEREFORE I HAVE ASKED THE TEMPLE PRESIDENTS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER IN A MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE WAY. I therefore request you to approach the temple president there and the GBC and ask for their advise.
SB 7.12.7 P
Brahmacarya essentially means the vow not to marry but to observe strict celibacy (brhad-vrata). A BRAHMACARI OR SANNYASI SHOULD AVOID TALKING WITH WOMEN OR READING LITERATURE CONCERNING TALKS BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN. THE INJUNCTION RESTRICTING ASSOCIATION WITH WOMEN IS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE.
Madhya 15.193
A SANNYASI SHOULD NOT COOK FOOD FOR HIMSELF OR ACCEPT AN INVITATION TO EAT AT A DEVOTEE’S HOUSE CONTINUOUSLY FOR MANY DAYS. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was very kind and affectionate toward His devotees, yet He would not accept a long invitation at Sarvabhauma’s house. Out of affection, He accepted only five days in the month.
Antya 8.85
“For a sannyasi to indulge in SATISFYING THE TONGUE is a great offense. THE DUTY OF A SANNYASI IS TO EAT ONLY AS MUCH AS NEEDED TO KEEP BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER.”
680824BG.MON
Even at the time of death you are very sorry because you have to change the body. Even for changing one apartment for another apartment you are sorry. THEREFORE FOR A SANNYASI IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HE SHOULD NOT LIVE MORE THAN THREE DAYS IN A PLACE. BECAUSE AS SOON AS HE LIVES MORE THAN THREE DAYS, HE’LL GET SOME ATTACHMENT. ATTACHMENT. SO HE IS FORBIDDEN.
Note:EATING ONLY AS MUCH AS NEEDED TO KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE
SB 7.15.30 P
THIS IS THE PROCESS FOR CONQUERING THE AGITATION OF THE MIND. ONE IS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE LEAVE OF HIS FAMILY AND LIVE ALONE, MAINTAINING BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER BY BEGGING ALMS AND EATING ONLY AS MUCH AS NEEDED TO KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE. Without such a process, one cannot conquer lusty desires. Sannyasa means accepting a life of begging, which makes one AUTOMATICALLY VERY HUMBLE AND MEEK AND FREE FROM LUSTY DESIRES.
Madhya 3.70
prabhu kahe—-sannyasira bhaksya nahe upakarana
iha khaile kaiche haya indriya varana
SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe–the Lord said; sannyasira–by a sannyasi; bhaksya–to be eaten; nahe–this is not; upakarana–varieties of food; iha–this; khaile–if eating; kaiche–how; haya–there is; indriya–senses; varana–controlling.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “IT IS NOT PROPER FOR A SANNYASI TO EAT SUCH A VARIETY OF FOODS. IF HE DOES, HOW CAN HE CONTROL HIS SENSES?”
THE WORD UPAKARANA INDICATES A VARIETY OF FOODS, SUCH AS DAL, VEGETABLES AND OTHER VARIETIES OF POSSIBLE DISHES THAT ONE CAN EAT VERY NICELY WITH RICE. IT IS NOT PROPER, HOWEVER, FOR A SANNYASI TO EAT SUCH PALATABLE DISHES. IF HE DID SO, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL HIS SENSES. SRI CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU DID NOT ENCOURAGE SANNYASIS TO EAT VERY PALATABLE DISHES, FOR THE WHOLE VAISNAVA CULT IS VAIRAGYA-VIDYA, AS RENOUNCED AS POSSIBLE. CAITANYA MAHAPRABHU ALSO ADVISED RAGHUNATHA DASA GOSVAMI NOT TO EAT VERY PALATABLE DISHES, WEAR VERY NICE GARMENTS OR TALK ON MUNDANE SUBJECTS. THESE THINGS ARE ALL PROHIBITED FOR THOSE IN THE RENOUNCED ORDER. A devotee does not accept anything to eat that is not first offered to Krsna. All the rich foods offered to Krsna are given to the grhasthas, the householders.
SB 7.13.1
Sri Narada Muni said: A person able to cultivate spiritual knowledge should renounce all material connections, AND MERELY KEEPING THE BODY INHABITABLE, he should travel from one place to another, passing only one night in each village. In this way, WITHOUT DEPENDENCE IN REGARD TO THE NEEDS OF THE BODY, the sannyasi should TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD.
He’s a disgusting, dirty old man. Even Karmis can see this. How much longer will this go on? he is sick. No normal person does this.
The person is indeed a KARMI in the dress of a Vaishnava Sannyasis.
The qualifications of a Vaishnava Sannyasis is voluntarily busy in rendering loving devotional services to the Lord and to the Spiritual Master being free from all material desire according to the Sastras.
Does the person’s activities in the pictures shown fall in that category ?
It does not look like at all, to a sane person.
You have to be INSANE even to think that he is a Sannyasis let alone following him in admiration for his pleasure.
It simply shows that he is a KARMI in the dress of a Sannyasis, a cheating business and people who wants to get cheated follows that type of Karmi all in the name of Krsna Consciousness.
Is it not TRUE ?
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
A Message from Sri Jagadananda Pandit
Srila Prabhupada states in his purport Sri Upadesamrta Verse 1:
“In his book Prema-vivarta, Chapter seven Sri Jagadananda Pandit says: ‘My dear brother, you are in the renounced order of life and should not listen to talk about worldly things, nor should you talk about worldly things when you meet with others. Do not think of women even in dreams. You have accepted the renounced order of life with a vow that forbids you to associate with women.
If you wish to associate with Caitanya Mahaprabhu, you must always remember the incident of Chota Haridas and how he was rejected by the Lord. Do not eat luxurious dishes or dress in fine garments, but always remain humble and serve Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Krsna in your heart of hearts’…….Unless one is master of his senses, he should not be called gosvami, but go-dasa, servant of the senses.”
“The sex impulse is so strong that even by seeing, touching or talking, coming into contact with, or even thinking of the opposite sex – even in so many subtle ways – one becomes sexually impelled. Consequently, a brahmacari or sannyasi is prohibited to associate with women, especially in a secret place. The sastras enjoin that one should not even talk to a woman in a secret place, even if she happens to be one’s own daughter, sisiter or mother. The sex impulse is so strong that even if one is very learned. he becomes agitated in such circumstances.”
