A devotee was somewhat alarmed when we printed the "death threat" from a
follower of Giriraja swami. This devotee defended Giriraja by stating:
"Giriraja swami would never hurt a fly, he is a kind and gentle devotee,
and he would never order the killing of another Vaishnava." To that, PADA
would say, we should study the "modus operandi" of cult leaders to see how
Giriraja could easily have someone assasinated by his preaching policies.

Lets look at Giriraja himself for a moment. He has been certified as a guru
(co-messiah?) by the GBC. And we already know their history: a violent
homosexual pedophile messiah's clique. Thus, we can easily connect
Giriraja's lineage to violence towards children from his pedigree, and what
to speak of violence to others? In fact, at a time when violence towards
children was at its peak in the 1980s, many other "nice humble guys" were
also voted in as co-gurus?

We have never been able to understand why anyone would want to be "voted in
as a co-guru in a living pedophile messiah's lineage"? Bhavananda had
ALREADY been exposed as a homosexual, while Kirtanananda was being massaged
in public by 30 boys regularly. Why would someone get "voted in as a guru"
with these folks? We would personally rather be voted into the "Satan's
Slaves" motorcycle club as a more pious alternative. What is even more
astonishing is that we often hear GBC's say "Srila such-and-such-pada is: a
guru in good standing" (in the living pedophile messiah's lineage)? Yes,
we'd have to agree, he's in good standing with Yama's agents who have their
noose on his neck? And your point is?

That is the unquestioned history of Giriraja's guru lineage: unspeakable
violence towards children and the murder(s) of dissidents who protested
their child abuser regime. Indeed, we asked the GBC and their lawyers to
find any fault with our paper "Child Molesters: Gurus"? and they have never
questioned even one word of it in almost ten years. Nevermind that there is
also a poison cloud looming over the Giriraja lineage as well, showing that
the circle of violence may be more extensive?

And let us also not lose sight of the main point: the threatening message
is very real, it is not concocted by us, and thus: Giriraja's follower DOES
think that he, or similar other GBC followers, are authorized ("from
scriptures"?) to assassinate other Vaishnavas. And if there were no police
and media to check them, they might follow up on these threats. And he has
learned these policies from the GBC. And, we have had many similar threats
all along, since 1977, from Ramesvara's people, Kirtanananda's people, etc.

For example, as soon as Gunagrahi swami got off the subway stairs in San
Francisco a few years ago, accompanied by a follower of Ramesvara (1986?),
we said, "Hey, how many young girls is Ramesvara dating now"? Gunagrahi
took me aside and said, "See that guy over there? He could break your neck
if you continue to talk like that."

In other words, all along in ISKCON since 1977 there has been a underlying
malevolent mood of hating vaishnavas, and perhaps beating and killing them,
which is a often found in other vicious deviant cults. Meanwhile, the GBC
gurus and their followers are portraying their gurus (even when their gurus
are dating minor aged girls) as someone like Jesus? This goonda-ism to
support and cover-up for the false gurus is considered saintly behavior. As
such, this simply encourages and perpeturates criminal activity in the name
of guru. This in turn creates a whole atmosphere of exploitation, cover-up,
and falsity, spawning things like molestation and abuse.

We have also heard this reasoning all along since 1977, "Oh this GBC would
not hurt a fly, Oh that GBC would not hurt a fly," yes maybe, but devotees
are still being banned, beaten (and killed?) all along? So, a lot of people
may think "Gunagrahi is a nice guy," but he basically threatened to
splatter us on the sidewalk just like some Mafia hit man would have done?
Tripurari swami also told people that we are demons, right in front of the
Carl St. temple, trying to get the same identical sentiments of hatred
fanned against Vaishnavas about the same year.

This is part of their modus operandi: "We are saints, those who disagree
are demons, we are right, they are wrong, so --maybe we can cut out the
tongues of these blasphemers, and we will be blessed by God" (and never
dare question our history)? This "modus operandi" has been around for
thousands of years actually. Even the sahajiyas thought that Lord Chaitanya
was a blasphemer, and they wanted to kill Him. There was also the
inquisition, and so on. Then the Navadvipa caste brahmanas wanted to kill
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta?

When we study bogus preachers like: Jim Jones (Guyana Suicide cult); Jim
and Tammy Faye Baker (Preacher who was having illicit sex with followers);
the Waco cult (illicit sex from a so-called re-incarnation of Jesus), the
"Heaven's Gate" cult, Jayatirtha's "peace Krishnas," and in fact many of
the sahajiya groups of India, we see a pattern. These people often cry in
public, make extremely humble offerings and prayers, and in sum: they are
expert at swaying public opinion in their favor. Then they start to
manipulate the crowd, "Oh, by the way we have some critics, who are demons."

These preachers advertise themselves as "the most humble, self-deprecating
and honest people on earth, humbly trying to serve God through major
adversity," ...the worst adversity being: their exposers and critics. These
bogus preachers may also attack reformers like Lord Jesus and Lord
Caitanya. There are those who will say Srila Prabhupada was poisoned by the
"appointed successor" smarta class, which he had warned us about
repeatedly? And don't these smarta pharisees types attack the bona fide
guru's followers like the Prabhupadanugas?

Then, these false preachers may also fear the dissidents, the media and so
on. And especially, when they are being exposed, they may resort to
creating a potentially violent situation, "Oh just see! Our humble and
sincere preaching efforts, which are simply meant to please God, are being
attacked by Satanic forces and demons." And so, when congressman Ryan went
to Guyana to investigate Jim Jones, he was shot to death on the runway.
Jadurani was beaten nearly to death. When Sulochana was investigating
things, he was assassinated. Taru was assassinated. When Caturbahu said he
was going to "blow the lid off of ISKCON," he was found with his throat
slashed in New Orleans. Police said this was an inside job. Devotees also
tell us there are "lots of bodies" still buried in New Vrindavana. Somehow,
it seems that people felt authorized to take these murderous actions by GBC
preaching policy. And Giriraja is one of the GBC's staunchest supporters?

This idea, "we are the chosen authorized ones," filters down to the
followers. For example, a devotee said that when he complained that the
doors on a temple's restaurant were causing painful splinters, that the
door needed to be replaced, he was told, "Srila Prabhupada appointed Srila
Ramesvara, and Srila Ramesvara appointed me to be in charge, so, if Krishna
wants something fixed it will be revealed through disciplic succession, and
it will be my idea not yours. You are a blashemer."

The devotee who mentioned the door problem was at that time freely giving
14 hours of service, six days a week. When he was fired from the temple
restaurant, they had to hire two people as his replacements, and pay them
big salaries. Thus, the restauant could not afford these salaries and had
to close. In other words, rather than accept the service of a "doubting
Thomas" (of one's absolute authority) better to shut down the whole project
and have nothing. Scorched earth. Similarly, Cowherd men at Gita Nagari
were kicked out on the same basis, and the result was that the cows were
made to suffer horribly.

Jaytirtha was also very expert in this deviant cult mentality. He would
take drugs, then cry and chant weirdly on his vyasasana (?), which many
people mistook for profound spiritual ecstacy. When we protested his
actions, he and the GBC kicked us out. He then offered to make us guru too.
And when we refused, he said, very coldly, "You had better watch your
back." In short, Mr. Spiritual Ecstacy, the GBC's big time "crying in
ecstacy" guru, will --have you maybe assasintated, if you opt to open your
big mouth and expose the GBC's bogus sex and drugs guru program.

We could also argue that everyone is a "nice guy" since they are part and
parcel of Krishna. "The humble sage sees everyone as part and parcel." As
such, Kamsa, Ravana, or the likes of Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, or
even mass murderer Charles Manson, and who knows who else, will set their
little five-year-old niece on their knee and play rocking horse with her
like a loving parent. That is fine, since everyone is part of Krishna, and
thus everyone has at least some light within them. Nonetheless, we as
Vaishnavas have to be able to distiguish what is the actual pure light of
an ACTUAL parampara member, and what is the anartha contaminated light.

Otherwise, as Srila Prabhupada says, religion which defies shastra, or is
smarta, sahajiya, veda vada rata, mayavada, or etc. is simply a disturbance
to human society (utpat). Moreover, the imitation of acharya leads one to
the lowest, most obnoxious regions of the universe, says shastra. And the
supporters of this illusion go there too. So, we cannot artificially say,
"everyone is a nice guy," and then merge some, any, or all of the qualities
of mundane conditioning upon the acharyas. THIS IS NEVER TOLERATED BY
KRISHNA. The Isopanisad is very clear on this, those who indulge in the
imitation of acharyas are better to have never heard of the vedas. This is
the most serious of all crimes. Of course, if one couples the imitation
with a poison complaint of the actual acharya, then it is beyond belief how
bad off are the followers of that lineage...

To sum, Giriraja has told us personally that he thinks gurus fall down
(making him a resident of hell by Srila Prabhupada's standards --"gursuh
narah matih ...narakah sah"). And when we challenged him to defend that, he
had to quote books (and spurious translations) of alleged writings other
than those of Srila Prabhupada. Thus, he speaks exactly like the Gaudiya
Matha deviants who started their relativised (homosexual to boot) acharya
lineage --which resulted in murders. Therefore, we are not at all surprised
that he was voted into the same homosexual lineage beeja which evolved in
the Gaudiya Matha.

And despite that some of the Gaudiya Matha folks are "nice guys," some of
them supported the homosexual (repression by murder) regime of the 1930s,
and later the same thing in the 1970s. They supported the repressors and
agressors of Srila Prabhupada, with poison, as "living gurus." Worse, some
of them have been giving "rasika classes" to the founding fathers of the
guru poisoning, homosexual pedophile, bogus messiah lineage leaders, while
calling the Prabhupadanugas bogus deviants. This is all utpat. Anyway, if
everyone is a nice guy, as Giriraja's sympathizer seems to say, then why
doesn't Giriraja say, "The Prabhupadanugas are also nice guys, so do not
harass them"?
