Hridayananda
(Howard Resnick), is a self-appointed bogus GBC ISKCON
"guru" clone (clown), he perverts Srila Prabhupadas books, preaches bogus philosophy,
stealing Prabhupadas disciples.
Hridayananda received his rubber stamp guru certificate in Iskcons homosexual
re-coronation ceremony and crowned himself Acaryadeva. He personally picked that
name for himself in the days of the Zonal-Acarya nonsense with the misconception
that the was one of the "acarya
successors" of Srila Prabhupada. He forced his godbrothers to worship
him in a simultanious guru-puja, declaring Prabhupada for dead.
He
wrote in the Eleventh Canto of his bogus "Srimad Bhagavatam" that the two worst
pedophile Iskcon gurus and child molesters [Bhavananda
and Kirtanananda]
are his examples of acaryas to worship as new "successor-gurus", thus
perverting Iskcon and Srila Prabhupadas pure philosophy.
Srila Prabhupad appointed Pradyumna Prabhu to finish translating Cantos 10, 11
and 12 of Srimad Bhagavatam but Hridayananda has stolen this service from Pradyumna
and helped to kick him out of Iskcon. Hridayananda's unscrupulous usurpation of
Pradyumna's sacred service marked only the start of his 28 year treachery GBC-teamwork
trend of perverting Srila Prabhupada's books.
Hridayananda is a nonsense guru, false acarya and bogus Sannyasi, attracted to
luxurious lifestyle and the tatas of women. He
lives like a playboy in Beverly Hills in expansive houses with swimming-pools,
cars and servants. He is a cheater, liar and thief, he
has destroyed many disciples' lives.

AMERICAS, Mar 21 (VNN) Dear Prabhus, accept my humble obeisances, all glories
to Srila Prabhupada.
I just called the Miami ISKCON temple and I was informed that Kesava
Swami and Hridayananda
Swami are going to Bangalore to fight the Ritviks. The Miami temple
doesn't have enough money to pay the bills and yet this is the 3rd time in 3 months
that Kesava Swami has been to India!
Hridayananda Swami has lost 100 disciples in Mexico to Govinda Maharaja,
6 temples in Brazil have closed. It seems also that Hridayananda Swami is bluffing
regards having a Ph.D.. It appears that he only has a diploma from a side course
at the university. He is also reported to have said that Hindi is a low class
language. He is also very famous for insulting every country he goes to. He has
said that South America mean Sudra America and the Mexicans are low class.
In Brazil he had built a home with a big swimming pool for $100,000 then he did
not like the design so he gave it up and he has done the same in Alachua and California.
In Miami he has had hours & hours of conversations with Devamrita dd. He left
for some time and returned to a big party at Devamrita's place here in Alachua.
Another of Hridayananda Swami's pastimes was in Mayapura. Srila Prabhupada was
walking down the stairs (at that time their were no women in the building) and
this woman was walking up the stairs. So Prabhupada asked where she was going.
So she said to Hridayananda Swami's room. Srila Prabhupada called for Hridayananda
Swami and asked for an explanation. Hridayananda Swami said to Prabhupada that
he didn't understand, Prabhupada replied that he may not understand, but it was
still wrong and he should not do it!
Due to his mismanagement the Gaudiya Matha has taken over in South America (5
temples were lost in Colombia.) Hridayananda lives like a playboy in Beverly
Hills with a car which costs $100,000. The Bharata Hill Skp (15 devotees &
4 vans) which traveled all over USA for 2 years (independently of the GBC) doing
really well was closed down and all the top sankirtan devotees were sent to college!
They were collecting for Hridayananda Swami's program at the GTU [Theological
dep. at Berkley Univ.] which was a total failure since they were kicked out from
there and told not to come back. He has destroyed many disciples' lives.

Dear IRG,
If (according to Iskcon Law) all "pada" names have been discontinued,
does the same apply to the name Acaryadeva? Hrdayananda Goswami personally picked
that name for himself in the days of the Acarya nonsense with the misconception
that the was one of the acarya successors of Srila Prabhupada. There are countless
instances to prove that he was overwhelmed by such misconception but lets analyze
two:
1) In 1979 during a visit to Mexico he became mad because a Mexican devotee named
Jaibali dasa, who had first initiation from Srila Prabhupada, wanted to get second
initiation from Satsvarupa Goswami. Hrdayananda Goswami stated that he wouldn't
tolerate this and asked the then Swami Radha Krsna to tell Jaibali that Hrdayananda
was the acarya for Latin America and the Spanish speaking world and that therefore
Jaibali had to take second initiation from him or else he would have to leave
his acarya zone because he wouldn't allow anyone to put in danger the faith of
his other disciples.
Radha Krsna approached Jaibali who immediately told him that he was giving up
the idea of taking second from Satsvarupa Goswami to avoid conflicts. This devotee
at the end left ISKCON and took shelter in the Gaudiya Math as a saner option
for him and currently lives in Tijuana assisting in their mission.
2) In July of 1978 Hrdayananda Goswami arrived in Los Angeles to attend the Rathayatra
Festival. He summoned Radha Krsna to instruct him that from then on all of Srila
Prabhupada's books published by the Spanish BBT had to include his picture because
he was the new acarya for the Spanish speaking world.
Radha Krsna talked with Ramesvara and Satsvarupa Goswami about this and both concluded
that this was a bogus idea that shouldn't be allowed. Radha Krsna informed of
this to Hrdayananda who turned mad but didn't prevail and so Srila Prabhupada's
books were saved from being desecreated. He still forced the Spanish BBT to pay
huge sums for producing his Vyasa puja books and became inimical to the LA Spanish
BBT operation forever.
Radha Krsna doesn't talk about these incidents much but if asked he can confirm
them.
So if Hrdayananda Goswami was overwhelmed by such misconception that he was a
fabulous Acarya and gave himself that name, should the name "Acaryadeva"
still be used in connection to him? Asked already about this he says that the
term "Acaryadeva" and the term "Gurudeva" mean the same and
quotes a statement of Srila Prabhupada to that effect. For him, then, his disciples
are simply saying "gurueva." But, is it the same if we consider all
the deviations and misconceptions that have ocurred in ISKCON during the last
21 years? Srila Prabhupada always wanted that his position as Founder-Acarya of
ISKCON be undertood by all. The use of the name "acarya" or "acaryadeva"
causes confusion as to where does ISKCON stand in terms of authority. Will Hrdayananda
be ready to voluntarily give up that name for the sake of honesty and unity in
the ISKCON institution?
