Srila Sripada is now in Mumbai.

Dear prabhu;
Please accept my respects. All glories to our real guru, Srila Prabhupada.

Whoever you are who keeps sending me notices about "Srila Sripada," I want
to set the record straight: About a year ago I sent a letter to Maharaja,
expressing that according to my understanding (and all available documentation)
Srila Prabhupada never appointed any Diksa gurus. Furthermore, it seems obvious
to any unbiased person that he set into motion a system for ISKCON
initiations long before he retired from his manifest pastimes here, and he
definitely did not authorize the G.B.C. to elect, re-elect, approve, veto,
rubber-stamp, vote-in, control, suspend, evict, appoint or monitor gurus,
or otherwise dabble in an area which is obviously outside of their conditioned
jurisdiction.

I received no reply.

There are rumors circulating that Maharaja had a rather ghastly fall-down
on a train in India some time ago. To those of us who don't agree with the
GBC's "guru rubber-stamping," such news is not at all surprising. When a
fallen person falls down, so what? Although I accept the name, "Jaya Krsna
dasa", which I was awarded at formal initiation, I will never, ever consider
Bhaktisvarupa Damodara my Diksa-guru. Srila Prabhupada is, was, and
will continue to be my eternal guru --forever-- end of discussion.
All the GBC was ever authorized to appoint was Rtviks, as a veritable deluge
of evidence is now establishing while the "glow-worm gurus" of the GBC burn up
one by one.

Since you probably consider Bhaktisvarupa Damodara to be a paramahamsa or
something similar, I expect that you will brand me a "demon", and pray for
my imminent destruction. Fine. I say it's about time we all took sides.

Your side (apparently): The wayward GBC, ambitious pretender gurus,
fallen-guru rationalizers, in-jail gurus, rajneesh-styled Prabhupada
blasphemer gurus, thug-gurus, fanatical followers, bewildered neophytes,
disciple-raping pedophiles.

My side: The children who have been abused, the women who have been abused,
the 90% of Srila Prabhupada's original followers who were kicked out by GBC
thugery, people who are inspired by Srila Prabhupada and NOT the ISKCON
guru-clique, the abused cows, the media, common sense.

Yes, prabhu, let us put our "laxmi" where our mouths are. I'm sure in the
heat of "offenses" the Pandava-footstep-followers will emerge smelling like
roses, while the molester worshippers.. Jiv jago, prabhu- it's never too late.

Hare Krsna!
Your servant, Jaya Krsna dasa.

P.S. Did you know that when Srila Prabhupada was asked "Who poisoned you?"
he responded "Sab milkar," which means essentially "My disciples"? It
wouldn't surprise me if such news would make even a dead stone quiver in fear.

What's your reaction?
