Hrdayananda das Goswami Acaryadev, Hridayananda Howard J. Resnick, Iskcon GBC Guru Sannyasi

aka Howard Resnick aka Acaryadeva aka Acaryapada aka Gurudeva

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's Falldowns with Devamrita devi dasi

Hridayananda, born 1948 November 5, as Howard J. Resnick, 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 was living in Miami Beach, in a converted hotel that the temple had purchased. While living there, he developed an attachment to a woman. He pursued a very unhealthy relationship with her – enough so that it certainly constituted a falldown – and serious enough so that the GBC had to step in and put a stop to. Hridayananda did give the relationship up in due course, but not until he was essentially threatened by the GBC. Of course, the GBC did not announce that this was going on, but many devotees in leadership positions at the time knew many of the details. Likewise, we certainly can't assume that Hridayananda is not 'falling down' right now, just because the GBC aren't telling us that's the case.

Hridayananda 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 (tits) 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.

HRIDAYANANDA AND HIS PADA TITLES ?

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?

http://www.harekrsna.org/gbc/black/hridaya.htm. You have NO idea what you are talking about and you need to check your facts. Your web site borders on Defamation of character, which is illegal!!!

My statements have been quoted in: TIME magazine; The New York Times; San Francisco Chronicle; CBS television news; Rolling Stone Magazine; "Monkey On A Stick" book by John Hubner and Linsday Gruson (both writers for newspapers like the New York Times): Windle Turley Lawsuit (we won); Guruvastakam v Tamal lawsuit (we won); various IRM lawsuits (we are not losing these either); Various child molesting lawsuits including a new one -- recently being put together by other ex-child victims of Hrdayananda's molester messiah's cult; The FBI of Florida said my poison case was solid; Legal verified forensics experts said I was right -- that there are poison whispers on "the poison tapes" and that splicing occured on other important tapes; and so on and so forth. So go ahead, sue all of these people for defamation! Good luck there parnder!

Eye-witnesses to GBC meetings said that Hrdayananda was propping up Tamal and Bhavananda (the child molester regime leaders); Hrdayananda even wrote in his Bhagavatam that he loves the two biggest (pedophile) gurus Bhavananada and Kirtanananda (their henchmen killed my associates and wanted to kill me); I have eye-witnessed Hrdayananda speaking alone with women (fobidden for a sannyasa); Hrdayananda was unable to answer my question to him why he was not following the will; and I could go on here for another fifty pages. You have to really ask me a specific question? Which specific factoids are you challenging? As for legal liablilty, I have been calling the GBC a child buggery messiahs cult often in writing, and sometimes way worse than that, since the early 1980s. The legal "statute of limit" time to sue me is well over due? Are you going to sue me -- 28 years after the fact? You seem to have no idea what you are talking about either factually or legally. thanks puranjana dasa

Hridayananda enjoys with women, wearing boxer-shorts, no sannyas dress, no kunti-mala, no neck-beads, no tilak,
no brahmin-thread, no dhotee, no chanting, no aratik, no shaving, just a mundane karmi with long hairs,

Please accept my blessings. I have received the transliteration of Brahma Samhita and also your letter of February 14, 1968. I am very much pleased with the nice job you have done.

Presently I am using one copy of the Gita Press version of Srimad-Bhagavatam in connection with my translating work, but in due course I may send it to you and you may transliterate the second and third cantos at that time. So if you can do this transliteration we have enough assignments. You may work together with Gaurasundara in this connection.

I am always praying to Krishna for your advancement in Krishna Consciousness, all of you, sincere souls.

Hope you are all well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Open Letter to Hridayananda das Goswami Acaryadeva
by Urdhvaga das

Dear Hridayananda das Goswami Acaryadeva (the god amongst the acaryas) [sic].

In your letter published on http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/04-09/editorials4340.htm you say: "never break a devotee", but why they kicked us all out the movement? Why we have been kicked out of our father's house?

Could it be of what you wrote in YOUR "Srimad Bhagavatam"?

You wrote in the Eleventh Canto of your bogus "Srimad Bhagavatam" that the two worst paedophile Iskcon gurus and child molesters [Bhavananda and Kirtanananda] are your 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 YOU Hridayananda das Goswami Acaryadeva (what an offensive title) have stolen this service from Pradyumna and helped to kick him out of Iskcon. Why did you break Pradyumna Prabhu and kicked him out?

Your unscrupulous usurpation of Pradyumna's sacred service marked only the start of your 33 year treachery GBC-teamwork trend of perverting Srila Prabhupada's books and kicking out devotees. You are the worst hypocrite amongst them all.
