Oct 30, 2011 — NEW MEXICO, USA (SUN) — […] That as grand a spiritual institution as ISKCON could itself become mundane is not a new idea. In the Bhagavad-gita at the beginning of the 4th chapter, Krishna describes the system of the guru-parampara and how, in the course of time, the succession had been broken and the knowledge of the science of yoga was lost.

Nov 1, 2011 — MENDOCINO, CALIFORNIA (PADA) — Krishna Kirti (KK) has “publicly rejected” his ex-guru Hridayananda after the homosexual marriage blessing episode. Good progress, except KK still promotes many other GBC guru supporters like Basu Ghosha, Gaura Keshava and so on, ok KK supports the best friends of Hridayananda?
This makes no sense, “we are AGAINST the false gurus, but we are HELPING the promoters of the false gurus?” No wonder nothing ever really gets done in ISKCON, we sweep out the garbage, then bring it back in? Worse, we keep “working with” the people who bring in the garbage in the first place?
Now Krishna Kirti rightly comments that the GBC’s and Radhanath swami’s “Food For Life” program “do not have enough people, so they cannot perform kirtana.” OK, so they do not have enough money to assist getting the right people to manage their food program, BUT meanwhile they are spending $4 million dollars suing our free food program AKSHAYA PATRA — trying to shut us down?
If there is “not enough manpower” to manage their own program, why are they not using their money to bolster their own program with more manpower, and instead they are spending money attacking other’s free food programs?
Why not start correcting the problems in their own free food program? This again makes no sense, their own program needs more money and support, but instead of supporting their own program, they are suing other programs at great expense? Again, it is Krishna Kirti’s friends like Basu Ghosha who are behind the suing program.
So we should support the people who are not able to manage their own free food program; And we should support the mis-managers of the ISKCON’s Bombay Food For Life program; And we should support Basu Ghosha’s plan of spending all their money suing other free food programs, but — then — we should complain of “mission drift.” This makes no sense at all.
Bhakti Vikas swami is also another person who supports spending millions of dollars on lawsuits against other people’s free food programs. Why doesn’t Bhakti Vikas spend a few million fixing the ISKCON FFL food program instead of using all that money on lawyers?
This is a little amazing, we should not drift off course, so we should not fix our own free food program and we should instead spend millions of dollars trying to shut down other free food programs? This sounds like mission drift, indeed mission impossible, to us. ys pd
I have a problem with the wishy washy way things are handled when speaking about these so-called Good as God, Gurus.
They are contaminated personalities with a propensity for power and control.
They have aquired these positions and use them to manipulate the message of Srila Prabupada while pretending to be wise men.
They are in the garb of Indian Sannyasis but they are phonies.
Yes, even though some of them, dead or alive have commited insane acts, still they have their followers.
Everyone needs to wise up and realize that these men are in actually “con-men” .
The think should not be, ” we cannot speak harshly, we might get bad karma, it’s not Krishna Consciousness to speak out that way, etc, ad nauseum.
Say it like it is, ” this bogus gurus are scum, street scum, they are out to do their stuff and it is harmful.”
Don’t think Krishna is going to kill you, or cause you to go blind or any number of things, if you get into the scum guru thought. No, you are helping Prabhupada by exsposing these phonies.
