Tamal Krishna Goswami's
activities
From Madhudvisa das:
Madhudvisa das: Remembering some of Tamal Krishna's activities is a very emotional
and painful experience for many devotees including myself. Under Tamal Krishna's
management ISKCON has gone from the huge poweful organization Prabhupada left
us to almost nothing today. And Tamal Krishna was one of the main architects of
the policies that converted ISKCON into a pile of smoking ashes... At this point
Krishna has decided to remove Tamal from the scene.
It is a relief for many devotees including myself because among other things Tamal
was the leader of ISKCON's "war against the ritviks." He had a personal
vendetta against me and was determined to destroy me and stop me from preaching
also.
Tamal’s "war against the ritviks" was very unjust and because of it I am banned from every ISKCON temple in the world and I am forced to preach seperately from ISKCON. If I go to an ISKCON temple I am blasphemed and often bashed by the temple authorities and devotees. And what is my "crime?"--I have accepted Srila Prabhupada as my guru.
Tamal had dedicated his life to destroying anyone like me who has accepted Srila Prabhupada as his guru and realizes that Prabhupada is still living. He was trying to prove no one can have direct access to Srila Prabhupada now. He wanted me to believe that Prabhupada can not be my guru at all... His idea was the only way I could become Krishna conscious is if I took initiation from a GBC approved guru... His philosophy was Prabhupada can no longer accept disciples because he is dead...
This idea is completely false and completely against the teachings of Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada said "I am living in my books." Prabhupada is not different from his books, his vani. He is living in his vani and we can all personally associate with him through his vani and he can also initiate us into the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra through his books.
As a result of the offences to Srila Prabhupada and so many of his disciples Tamal's "war against the ritviks" has created ISKCON is burning up in an ocean of offences.
So we are glad that Tamal has been taken away by Krishna as he attacked anyone who accepted Srila Prabhupada as his guru in such a terrible way and encouraged other ISKCON leaders to do the same thing. But at the same time we are hoping that Tamal goes back home, back to Godhead. We have all good wishes for him, we have forgiven him for his attacks, but still we are very glad that Krishna has taken him away.
It is difficult to comprehend the scale of Tamal's activities and the number of Srila Prabhupada's disciples he offended. We praise him for his great service to Srila Prabhupada in the early days but we can not help but remember his offences to Srila Prabhupada and his godbrothers in more recent years.
In 1977 Tamal hid Srila Prabhupada's orders to continue the already existing ritvik initiation system after Srila Prabhupada's disappearance. Instead he introduced the "zonal acarya system" which falsely elevated 11 unqualified men to the position of acaryas who had to be accepted as being non-different from Srila Prabhupada and who had to be worshipped even by Srila Prabhupada's disciples as if they were their guru. If any disciple of Srila Prabhupada refused to worship the "acarya" in his area as his guru Tamal declared he was a demon, an offender and the "demon" was at least thrown out of ISKCON and severely blasphemed by the temple authorities, many times he was bashed and sometimes killed...
Everyone --even ISKCON and the GBC-- today agrees that Tamal's "zonal acarya system" was completely wrong and against the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and they admit the whole thing was a great mistake. But there are only two options. Srila Prabhupada appointed acaryas or Srila Prabhupada appointed ritviks. And everyone agrees Srila Prabhupada did not appoint acaryas.
Tamal's impact on ISKCON and on the lives
of many of his godbrothers was devastating. And you can not expect us to forget
that.

YES, YES, YES, the Maha-Demon Tamal, thats right.
Of this I am 100% convinced. According to an audio tape that
was exposed by Isa dasa (and is available as a audio
file on VNN) Tamal Krishna had said in November 1977 (to Satsvarupa) that
Srila Prabhupada had often asked for "medicine" that would take his
life because he had wanted to die. In other words, Srila Prabhupada had allegedly
asked Tamal for "medicine" that would take his life ...so that he could
commit suicide. And YES Tamal gave it.
------------------------------
From Aruna das, Austria:
Actually Tamal
Krishna was a kali
chela pseudo devotee, religious
propagandist with demoniac mentality who killed his guru to
sit in his seat. Actually he was a Rakshasa. Kaviraja:
dehhiye, bat hi hai, hi hoi rahshas ne diya ho. Translation:
Look, this is the thing, that maybe some rakshasa gave him poison.

Subject: Re: Calling a Snake a Snake
..I completely agree with what you said and that Tamal was certainly a demon.
But somehow Srila Prabhupada engaged him in a lot of devotional service as well.
..We got many comments by the ISKCON types and of course they can not understand
how Tamal is a demon.
..Now Krishna has taken him out of the picture so the problem is solved. So now
the whole attempt to bring Tamal to justice can end. Krishna has brought him to
justice and Krishna is dealing with him in whatever way He considers Tamal deserves.
So we can forget about him now and get on with the positive preaching.
..If he did poision Prabhupada he is getting what he deserves now and if anyone
else was involved in the poisioning they will also get it in due course.
