Apr 23, 2011 — UK (SUN) —
There once was a time, it seems a long long time ago, when we used to listen to our Sampradaya-Acarya.
It would now appear His Siksa is being edited out of the ISKCON society He created.
For the sake of Srimati Vaisnavi devi dasi, Sriman Pradip Gajjar, ISKCON UK temple managers, and the GBC, our ultimate managerial authority,
I re-present the words of HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Sampradaya Acarya and Founder of ISKCON.
Lets hear for ourselves what Srila Prabhupada says…
Please refer to…
The Science of Self-realization,
printed and distributed by ISKCON here in the UK.
The passage is entitled,
Krishna consciousness: Hindu cult or Divine culture?
The author is Srila Prabhupada.
“There is a misconception that the Krishna consciousness movement represents the Hindu religion…
Sometimes Indians both inside and outside of India think that we are preaching the Hindu religion, but actually we are not… One will not find the word Hindu in the Bhagavad-gita. Indeed, there is no such word as Hindu in the entire Vedic literature…
…people should not think we are preaching a sectarian religion…
The Krishna consciousness movement has nothing to do with the Hindu religion or any system of religion…
One should clearly understand that the Krishna consciousness movement is not preaching the so-called Hindu religion.”
This same vein of theological understanding is repeated many times in Srila Prabhupada’s books, letters, lectures and conversations.
Let us hear once again from the founder of ISKCON…
This quotation is taken from Srila Prabhupada’s letters:
Siksamrta Volume 2
Preaching to the Indian community.
“Our plan is not to sponsor the Hindus or any other group.Our real purpose is to spread Krishna consciousness.”
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Yamuna, May 27, 1969
Now let us move forward to April 23, 2011.
Please remember…
This is only 34 years after the departure of His Divine Grace…
Posted on the Hindu Forum of Britain official website,
on the list of registered Hindu members:
ISKCON Belfast
ISKCON Bhaktivedanta Manor Watford
ISKCON Birmingham
ISKCON Coventry
ISKCON Educational Services Oxford
ISKCON Cardiff
ISKCON Inis Rath
ISKCON Leicester
ISKCON Manchester
ISKCON Radha Krishna Temple
ISKCON South Norwood South London
ISKCON Scotland
ISKCON Swansea Wales
ISKCON is now in the process of promoting Hindu faith schools.
One such Hindu faith school is already in place in Harrow, with another planned for Leicester.
Please do not misunderstand…
we have no problem with Hindus,
but Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON is meant for everyone, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Christian, Atheist, Pagan…
We did not join with Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON to become “Hindus”.
We did not join Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON to promote “Hinduism”.
So Vaisnavi devi dasi… perhaps you and your ISKCON UK management colleagues are the ones who should be looking over your shoulders.
Just who exactly is disobeying the order of the bona fide Sampradaya Acarya?
Just who is the great offender?
May I also add that a simple solution to this offence to our Founder-Acarya is very straight forward…
let those who wish to promote “Hinduism” leave all their wealth and positions acquired while in ISKCON behind and
go elsewhere.
Yes… leave your cars, laptops, house extensions, homes, company credit cards and bank accounts.
Leave behind all those big positions, those big titles.
You may then be free from unwanted criticism and may bless cars and perform weddings to your heart’s content.
You may wish to include fire walking in your repertoire.
Heck… if you need help packing, I may even consider helping…
