Jayapataka Swami, a.k.a. Gordon John Erdman (USA), a self-appointed ISKCON Guru and GBC, is one of the largest supporters of child molester and pedophile Bhavananada Swami (an ex-ISKCON Guru, GBC, and Sanyasi - in good standing within ISKCON). He is the main suspect in poisoning the Founder Acharya of ISKCON, HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.

 

In the Turley Case of 2000, Jaya Pataka Swami and Bhavananda Swami et al were accused of Child Abuse within the ISKCON Society during the 1970’s and 1980’s. To escape justice ISKCON Gurus filed bankruptcy. With the help of their lawyers they got away with an out of court settlement. Mr. Gordon has about 18,000 disciples, followers or congregational members. They donate (Guru-dakshina) to their Guru at least once a year during Mr. Gordon’s birth day. He is getting in average of $9 million per year.

 

 

 

 

“...many of Bhavananda's previous episodes of child abuse happened on Jayapataka Swami's watch… The undisputed fact remains that Bhavananda has taken a very prominent position within ISKCON Mayapur, which is the ISKCON equivalent of the Vatican in terms of importance and visibility for the society. This position was given to him by the local GBC, Jayapatka Swami, who is Bhavananda's old friend. While the Child Protection Office has banned Bhavananda for lifetime from holding a position of importance in ISKCON with a title such as "Treasurer" or "GBC", Jayapataka Swami has clearly seen fit to give Bhavananda an "unnamed" position of significant importance.”

During a private darshan at Bukit Mertajam on 12 June 1999, Bhaktin Mala, a local devotee, put forth questions to Jayapataka Swami on the poison issue. Also present during the darshan were other local devotees such as H.G. Krishna Parayana das, H.G. Guna Avatar das, their respective wives, etc. In reply, Maharaja indicated that Srila Prabhupada had been close to the Gaudiya Matha during his final days on the planet and had taken food from them. He even went on to remark in his own words that "they (The Gaudiya Matha) might have done it (poisoned Prabhupada)".

THE BLUNDER OF 11 ACHARYA SUCCESSORS:

Or, should we directly infer that the very same disciples (such as Giriraja Swami, Jayapataka Swami etc.) who "spaced-out" in a critical service such as drafting their spiritual master’s Final Will in his very presence, have shortly after his departure confidently assumed the role of the next acarya also as a result of being "spaced-out"?”
