Jan 29, 2012 — JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN, INDIA (SUN) — It’s always been amazing to me how the cheating propensity is so prominent among ISKCON leadership. Some even mean well but just can’t help themselves, while others have a dark evil side that rises to the surface to devour them completely.
The fear factor seems to be influencing these cheaters to the extent of covering over their intelligence. There’s no shortage of well read leaders who’ve studied Srila Prabhupada’s books, but when it comes to fairness in dealing with devotees or subordinates they change into a greedy nasty wolf wanting to eat the three little pigs.
They’re obviously doing something wrong because they are not receiving the mercy or graces of the Lord. What are the graces of the Lord? It is stated in Srimad Bhagavatam 3.23.7 that the graces of the Lord are abhya, free from fearfulness. In the material world, if someone accumulates a million dollars, he is always full of fear because he is always thinking, what if the money is lost? But the benediction of the Lord, bhagavat-prasada, is never to be lost.
This simple understanding seems to have eluded the ISKCON imitating ‘gurus’. Most know they’re not a maha-bhagavat or pure devotee of Srila Prabhupada’s caliber, but they still fearfully scoop up the dough and stash it outside of ISKCON’s authority. They’re not supposed to do this, but the GBC is weak when it comes to enforcement of their own “resolutions”. Add to that the fact that many also have hidden bank accounts. Justice amongst thieves is impossible.
The fear of losing their security in the form of liquid cash makes it difficult for sleeping at night. Because most of them will not receive social security and have given most of their life, unsuccessfully, trying to develop their Krsna consciousness, they have little material security to fall back on. Becoming broke in their late 50’s or 60’s is just too much anxiety, so they continue their deceitful ways, hoping to get past their fear, or they die.
Srila Prabhupada continues: “when one achieves the grace of the Lord, the result is that sarva-duhkhani, all distresses, are destroyed. When situated in the transcendental position, one is freed from the two kinds of material diseases-hankering and lamentation.”
I’m certainly not on the level to actually see the distress of these 100 or so preposterous counterfeit gentlemen. Some like Umapati literally have no shame, but by seeing through shastra, it’s easy to see they have not actually received the mercy or grace of the Lord. Otherwise, the ISKCON Srila Prabhupada left us wouldn’t be in such a mess.

35 years already gone in fiskcon through this cheating since SRILA PRABHUPADA’s physical disapperance day and the gunda body commission is entangled in heavy soka moha and bhaya, fear, after usurping SRILA PRABHUPADA’s position, movement and devotees.
Now Nr.45 of these cheaters, abuser and fearful robbers got his false ego smashed by not surrendering to the real iskcon.
The whole world is moving by fear of time. Time is SRI KRSNA, KALO SMI (BG.11.32)
I’m glad to announce to all prabhupadanuga maha rati devotees around the globe that i get brahmana diksa on behalf of our beloved acharya on Gaura Purnima by the bonafide ritvik system left by SRILA PRABHUPADA.
My spiritual name will be Abhaya carana seva dasa, so i hope to get rid of this fear by the mercy of guru sadhu and sastra with this proper name, abhaya, which means fearless.
This world is a world full of duality – means everything will turn to the right side by taking shelter in the service of the best Abhaya caranavinda, HDG ACBSP, ki jai!

Nice coincidence that this article should appear with the feature name Abhaya, just at the time Abhaya Carana Seva dasa Prabhu is given this name in service to Srila Prabhupada ! Krishna is very playful.
Hari Bol Prabhus:
Please accept my respects. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I just finished reading Satsarupa das Goswami’s A Lifetime in Preparation.
One thing that stood out was that Prabhupada refused in get involved in the various Gaudiya Math intrigues after the disappearance of his Gurudeva. He worked alone in poverty following his Guru’s instruction to spread the message of Lord Chaitanya to the western world. And look at his success!
So let us follow in his footsteps. Just surrender to Prabhupada’s teachings.
Those interested in ignoring this back and forth nonsense and who want to be engaged in first class devotional service may join us on Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON (http://puredevoteeseva.ning.com). We offer association with very dedicated devotees, free classes, and first – second initiations to qualified applicants.
All glories to the assembled devotees!
Your servant,
Prayag das
For those devotees who have no use for Satsarupa’s writings, Srila Prabhupada stated in the Room Conversation about Mayapura Construction August 19, 1976
“I was finding difficulty to start this mission in India, very, very difficult. With great hardship I published three books. But as soon as I went America, the andha-paìgu-nyäya became successful.”
So Prabhupada himself confirms the difficulties and hardships he faced, no doubt just as an example for us to follow.
Prabhupada stated in a Letter to: Jagannatham Prabhu

“Regarding our Gaudiya Math in Bombay: I am very sorry that you are disappointed in respect of their activities. I know this fact because in 1934 I was one of the active members in starting this Math. The Gowalia Tank center was opened by me, and although I lived separately from the Math, practically I was in charge of the Math and under the instructions from His Divine Grace. Then after His Departure, you know so many unhappy things happened, but, as I was a householder, I remained always aloof from those unhappy incidences.”
Here Prabhupada states that he remained aloof from the unhappy incidents occurring. It is just because he was a householder at the time? Would he have been involved if he had taken sannyasa?
May Nityananda Prabhu bless you dear Abhaya Carana Seva das giving you the strength to follow Srila Prabhupada instructions that´s the real initiation, in association with the noble souls of Srila Prabhupada spiritnet. We got Nityananda Prabhu by our side we do not fear anything. Haribol. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It is wonderful to see that, in spite of so many obstacles, devotees such as Seva Prabhu are still able to take shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. I also wanted to let other devotees and aspiring devotees know that there is a wonderful website: (http://puredevoteeseva.ning.com). that offers additional sat sanga. We have several groups that may be of interest to you and a wonderful opportunity for new devotees to learn the basics of bhakti-yoga up to and including the opportunity to take bonafide diksa. Also Tamohara Prabhu has a very impressive collection of pictures, videos, news items, etc. that can be used to enhance your Krsna Consciousness. I happy to see that so many Prabhupadanugas have congregated on this site. Tamohara’s pure intentions are what attracted me to personally participate and try to make a positive contribution toward spreading Lord Caitanya’s Sankirtan Movement. There is minmal negativity. The majority of items are simply there to help us advance our own Krsna consciousness and be able to speak frankly without feeling that we will be criticized or feel threatened in any way. I feel very “comfortable” there. Hare Krishna!
Faith In Srila Prabhupada and Krishna dispels fear. Why bother with cheaters when the real thing is right here! Read Srila Prabhupada’s books! Enjoy Krishna Katha at puredevoteeseva.ning.com:)

“God told me to be guru”, in India, basically this is what all self-appointed “gurus” say, “God spoke to me in dream to be your guru”.
Similarly we often hear, “Krishna appoints gurus”. This is what Guru Maharaji, Vivekananda, Maharishi, Sri Chinmoy, Sai Baba, also said, “God appointed us..”
Prabhupada: “A guru can become guru when he’s ordered by his guru. That’s all. Otherwise nobody can become guru.”
“So my Guru Maharaja’s idea was amongst the members of GBC who would come out successful and self-effulgent acarya would be automatically selected.”
Notice, this is what Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja instructed to his disciples. Whereas Prabhupada did not order his disciples to be next acarya. Prabhupada instructed, to work under governing body:
“Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, at the time of his departure, requested all his disciples to form a governing body and conduct missionary activities cooperatively.”
And Prabhupada to remain diksa-guru for ISKCON.
