chapter 7 -- knowledge of the Absolute is not Absolute knowledge

"that day Allah will call to them and say 'where are My "partners"?, whom ye imagined to be such?'
those against whom the charges will be proved, will say: 'Our Lord! these are the ones whom we led astray; we led them astray as we ourselves were led astray.
we free ourselves from them in Thy Presence.
it was not us they worshiped.
it will be said to them: 'call upon your partners for help.' they will call upon them, but they will not listen to them; and they will see The Penalty. - Holy Koran, surah 28: 62-64

Nnow with Taru and a few others in the ground, the stage was set to take things to the next level. Adwaita and his anti-jew NY mafia had set up a drug smuggling operation to india where hash oil was being bought and imported to the US. sanyassis carried drugs in their dundas, and for some time, it was in vogue throughout the movement, as in some centers it still is. one such drug dealer was chakradhari. he was an old time new Vrindaban fringee with more ex-wives than richard burton and larry king put together. he and nanda kumar were adversaries in more than one area of competition. women, drugs, who had better stuff?.. the usuals.

Chakradhari had, as any drug dealer does, some enemies. One such individual was Tirtha, Kirtanananda Swami's second initiated disciple.

Tirtha is currently serving three life terms for murders he committed in west virginia. west virginia, being the liberal democratic state that it is, does not have a death penalty. had they only read the first two chapters of Sri Gita they would know that a murderer is benefited when the government executes the Villain.

Why doesn't ISKCON take up the mission of Gita and push for tirtha's transfer to California, where a lethal injection awaits him? a letter writing campaign to the senator rockefeller asking for a pardon for tirtha in west virginia would send him to California where all his appeals have been exhausted and they will call him back from the gym, turn off his cable network playboy channel, and put in his arm the last injection he will ever need. the reason no one in ISKCON could or would ever do such an action is not that they lack the male reproductive organs to "do the needful", it is because tirtha was Radhanath's paid assassin and to this day his prison account receives monthly re-supply via the $ 40,000+ monthly donations from the expatriate indian community. this that has been their source of strength shall now become their very undoing. the indian community they have raped, EQUALLY AS BAD AS THEY DID THE GURUKULIS, will now be the base for the next lawsuit and the donors will sit on the sidelines with any more support until this one plays out.

ISKCONners should clearly hold that to kill a murderer is in his, and everyone elses, best interests. cruel and inhumane treatment be damned! let's give the bastards what they so rightfully deserve. therefore ISKCON should advocate that tirtha be released from WV, sent to California and executed, thus saving taxpayers of both states the $ 80,000 per year it costs to keep this human scum alive. ISKCON refuses to do this. let's ask why.

Why does Radhanath keep tirtha supplied with everything he can possibly have in a death row facility? why has new Vrindaban maintained telephone, mail, financial, personal contact with tirtha long after it severed itself from Kirtanananda Swami? wasn't tirtha Kirtanananda Swami's hit man? and, to follow this logic to its ultimate conclusion, the friend of my enemy is also my enemy, shouldn't tirtha be just as despicable in ISKCON eyes as Kirtanananda Swami was?and if he is, why has Radhanath sent him a check every month (using Umapati, Garga rishi, and a string of others), laundered carefully through the new Vrindaban connection Radhanath is now trying so desperately to severe, since the time of sulocan's assassination? the plain and simple factual answer is because Radhanath both ordered the murder and he paid for it. Kirtanananda Swami took the fall on this one for Radhanath. Kirtanananda Swami accepted his fate because only he knew what all he was truly guilty of.

that is, "only him" and KRISHNA, and Bhaktivedanta Swami, and Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, and Bhaktivinode Thakur, and all the hosts of gandharvas, apsaras and demigods that oversee the activities of Lord Caitanya's movement. the subtleties of karmic reactions.

Tirtha is one of three people who had been ordered to kill sulocan. i mean, as in, "you are one of those rare few that KRISHNA has endowed with the ksatriya spirit and the courage enough to do what has to be done". scripture warns that a flatterer is ones worst enemy, but when an egotists ego is being stroked, nothing much else matters to him.

one of the three failed miserably in following said orders.

in Sri Caitanya's teachings, a compilation of Srila bhaktisiddhanta's english discourses, we learn: "we should accept only him as our Guru who employs cent percent of his time in God's service; otherwise we should fail miserably in following him. the Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita taught us:" a true Guru teaches his disciple after his own behaviour and practice; one cannot be the teacher of dharma if one does not perform it himself." another little piggy, he went to market. this one tried to sub-contract out the hit, because like many of the so-called "leaders" of the movement at the time, he was under qualified for most tasks. in the words of a los angeles homicide detective, "this was a 'professional' hit, but it wasn't very professional." the pseudo-ksatriyas claiming to protect the devotee community in LA by occupying the 2nd story apartment opposite the temple were a farce.

malibu's most wanted, watching videos of machine guns being fired and drinking near beer is not REALLLLy protecting anyone, regardless what ramesvara thinks, then or now. They did suggest the san diego temple resident thug, Jeff Cornia (Yudhisthir das, yudhisthir) might be able to help them out and one little piggy took that avenue of approach.

Tirtha took a much more direct approach. he was a product of the US-military industrial approach to world rationing. seize it and then after some time, it becomes yours. that was pretty much what he had gotten out of his understanding of Krishna consciousness thus far, and it fit right in at new Vrindaban. if you can make Guru happy, then your life is a success. while this is philosophically correct, practical application may be somewhat time consuming, depending on the demands ones Guru puts them under. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati has warned us: "the platform speakers of improper conduct, skilled in speeches only, or the professional priests cannot be Gurus.

when a man does not keep himself engaged all the while in Hari-bhajan (service of Hari), then he is anxious to be occupied with other things on the strength of Shri Nam and committing the great aparadha (spiritual offense), unloosing Shri Nam in sinful affairs. a stipend holder or a contractor cannot be a Guru, nor a blind reader of Shrimad Bhagavatam.

first of all refrain from approaching the professional priest." this pretty much leaves Radhanath and Devamrita Swami and Kirtanananda Swami and all the rest of the bogus "swamis"s with not real good long-term prospects, unless they turn their rigs in another direction really soon. not much chance of that happening.

as long as they keep posting their travel schedules and don't lie about that, we're all supposed to believe that what they do is spiritually benefiting anyone. it isn't; it doesn't; it didn't; it won't; it can't; it's balderdash! Sri Isopanishad, mantra twelve informs us:

The Lord states that as soon as one reaches Him by devotional service--which is the one and only way to approach The Personality of Godhead--one attains complete freedom from the bondage of birth and death. in other words, the path of salvation from the material clutches fully depends on the principles of knowledge and detachment gained from serving The Lord.

THE PSUEDO RELIGIONISTS HAVE NEITHER KNOWLEDGE NOR DETACHMENTFROM MATERIAL AFFAIRS, FOR MOST OF THEM WANT TO LIVE IN THE GOLDENSHACKLES OF MATERIAL BONDAGE UNDER THE SHADOW OF PHILANTHROPICACTIVITIES, disguised AS RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES. BY A FALSE DISPLAYOF RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS, THEY PRESENT A SHOW OF DEVOTIONAL SERVICEWHILE INDULGING IN ALL SORTS OF IMMORAL ACTIVITIES. IN THS WAY THEYPASS AS SPIRITUAL MASTERS AND DEVOTEES OF GOD. SUCH VIOLATORS OFRELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE AUTHORITATIVE ACARYAS, the holy teachers in the strict disciplic succession.

They ignore the Vedic injunction acaryopasana -- "one must worship the acarya"-- and KRISHNA's statement in the Bhagavad-gita (4.2) evam parampara-praptam "this supreme science of God is received through the disciplic succession." instead, to mislead the people in general they themselves become so-called acaryas, but they do not even follow the principles of the acaryas.

THESE ROGUES ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS ELEMENT IN HUMAN SOCIETY.

because there is no religious government, they escape punishment by the laws of the state. they cannot, however, escape the law of The Supreme, who has declared in the Bhagavad-gita that envious demons, in the garb of religious propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell (Bg 16.19-20). Sri Isopanisad confirms that these pseudo religionists are heading toward the most obnoxious place in the universe after the completion of their spiritual master business which they conduct simply for sense gratification.

The FBI had the warden call Kuladri and let him know that sulocan would be getting out of prison days in advance because he felt the Krishna's were going to need all the help they could get, short of the FBI doing the hit for them. new Vrindaban would have to come up with their own hit man if this thing was going to happen. this is the point where the government steps in and makes the bust for trying to get someone killed, but this time, they not only let it happen, they aided and abetted new Vrindaban, kuladri, Radhanath, and company, in making deadly sure that it was successfully completed.

the FBI agreed with Radhanath's conclusion that sulocan would go get money from mom and then head back to badger or LA, so tirtha went directly out to California to wait. Tirtha had been chastised when he bragged about having put a sticker on sulocan's van while it was parked in his mother's driveway. this time he didn't want anything to make Radhanath and kuladri mad. sulocan had been in jail for four months and that should have been plenty of time for tirtha to get his act together. he had been in contact with LA's A-Team and they were promising a get away car and the murder weapon, so tirtha could slip in unnoticed. true to the gangster mentality that ran NV at the time, tirtha flew under an assumed name. tirtha felt that he looked like nick nolte, so he flew under that name to attract attention to himself. he was that kind of a guy. having seen the recent photos of nick nolte, some people are beginning to see the similarities.

Sulocan was released from jail. he went home and saw Helga for the last time. he drove to the left coast and went to the home of Steve Forbes. the forbes address was the third address on the list that the FBI and new Vrindaban compiled. on the order of Radhanath, tirtha assassinated sulocan.

Tirtha took the car back to Krishna-katha at the LA temple, screaming past the corporate headquarters of ITV and stopping only to toss the gun. Ttirtha called Randall and top buffoon back in ohio to pick him up at the airport, not knowing that all randall's calls were now monitored by the FBI. still, the FBI did not snap the trap shut until tirtha received the get away money with Kirtanananda Swami's fingerprints on it. Ask Radhanath how come his prints were on that money too. ask him how come he wasn't indicted. prior to the event the talk had been about "devotional service". now that push had come to shove the transportation costs had to be met.

Once tirtha had executed the instructions of his siksa-guru*, he felt that his actions were karma free because the guru, in this case Radhanath, would take all the karma for the act. kind of like the roman catholic church program of selling indulgences granting entrance to heaven on your passing, called a plenary indulgence. plenary indulgences issued by the RC church will no longer be honoured at any outside facilities. neither the Radhanath blessings have much value in or out of the inner circle. still, at that time, to tirtha, it was the only thing that mattered. it was more important than life itself.

Tirtha had been infiltrated by Randall Gorby who was working with FBI to bust new Vrindaban. Gorby was angry because his daughter had been getting sexual with one of the Krishna's and he had thought of this as a way to get even. PB was married and hehad no intention of any thing other than a booty call and to Randall Gorby, casual sex was not something anyone was going to have with his daughter. Still, the dilemma of finding out long after the events occurrence posed it's usual myriad of problems.

Randall worked for and with the Krishna's on a number of occasions and now he was working against them and they were fallibly going right along with his, or rather "their" program. the mythical in determinate "they" was none other than the US justice department in an attempt to subvert one organization that was on the attorney generals notes as a threat to national security. homeland security may have been formed a little too late. just like the time Krishna moved the whole village and kansa's men couldn't find a trace of it.

The current FBI assessment of the threat level posed by the ISKCON movement is that they pose no threat to anyone but themselves, but at that time the Krishnas were the usama bin ladens of their day. The wheeling FBI agents that had been meeting with sulocan, went to the prison and searched all sulocan's belongings and writing from his van and the motel room he was staying in when he got busted. Based on what they found, they formulated and executed a plan that had sulocan staked out like a judas goat so that the feds could act only after the murder had been committed. Randall was the catalyst that set the wheels in motion. an agent provocateur like the best of the watergate era, randall had their confidence to the point that they sought his advice on every thing.

Remember these were the same gang that burned down almost one building a month all winter long from sheer stupidity. the Krishna's were not the sharpest tools in the shed, in spite of what they thought about themselves, but this was almost too easy. randall may not have been sure who, if any, of these clowns would really pull the trigger if the chance presented itself, but he knew that tirtha was both, most eager, and willing to kill someone in cold blood, with no remorse, on the order of some fake spiritual leader. Randall was drawn to tirtha like a magnet pulls iron out of everything else. randall had but one purpose and that was to get someone to kill sulocan. neither randall nor the FBI cared who killed sulocan, just as long as someone did. then they could act.

With Drescher calling the wheeling FBI every hour or so to report this movements, the only thing stopping this from happening was that the Krishna's didn't know where to look for sulocan and that sulocan was still in jail "awaiting trial". awaiting execution would be the more proper way to explain what they did.

The FBI then went to the warden of the northern regional jail, warden bordenkircher, and had him call new Vrindaban. as usual Kuladri handled the police phone contacts. the warden wanted kuladri to come down to the jail. he couldn't explain it over the phone but when kuladri got to the jail he saw what the warden had hinted at over the phone. the FBI had been through all of sulocan's personal effects and they had cherry picked what new Vrindaban would need to locate sulocan after his release. all the phone and mailing address data and his most damning document, his diary.

From the diary, Gaura-shakti and Kuladri made a list of the places mentioned in the diary, the diary was returned to sulocan's personal effects, NV typed up and distributed multiple copies of the spots to search for sulocan, and the FBI had their trap almost set. now all they needed was some bait to draw the rats out in the open. sentencing sulocan to time served on the weapons charge and releasing him was just like dick cheney's quail hunt.

And if the idiot Krishna's can't keep track of him, like back in january of 1986, the FBI will use their technology and the man on the inside, Randall, to "get-r-dun". "he's got to be killed!", "it can't go on like this. someone has got to do something. You need bell telephone equipment to reach out and touch someone. "randall was relentless in his raving about how important this was.

to this day, one of the NV thugs sports a full window decal threatening to "reach out and touch someone". such are the feeble attempts of the materialists to bring anxiety to devotees as often as possible.

the ISKCOWPLOP program run by Balabhadra may have a donor base that supports that life style but one might ask why, when the so-called protectors of cows, brahmins, women and children can't stop to help a women with a flat tire on his own road. he could barely squeeze his vehicle by, but he just managed to, so as to not have to repay anything like the kindness she had been showing him, sending him $ 100 per month for the "cow protection" program which actually bought bullets to kill deer. just as Kirtanananda Swami had had his disagreements with swami maharaj, so did top buffoon. with top buffoon the fight was always over how hard he had to work in the garden and the deer and the rabbits would just come and eat everything. he wanted the right to kill the animals and Srila Swami maharaj refused this foolish request.

there are a number of letters that set the standard for ISKCON with regard to the rights of the citizens of The Holy Dham in deer bodies, but for those using murder to establish their control, animals are the least of their concerns.

Kirtanananda Swami planned to build a new Vrindaban east in india and he had the letterhead printed up. he set up a Kirtanananda Swami safe house as he planned to break from ISKCON. it was 1986 and you either stood with Kirtanananda Swami or you stood with ISKCON. just like the kurksetra conflict, every one was on one side or the other. some of those standing up tallest for Kirtanananda Swami were Radhanath, Bhakti-tirtha, Dasarath suta, top buffoon and the recent convert, Devamrita Swami.

with the departure of bhagavan and bhavananda so close together, Kirtanananda Swami saw jayapataka and tamal Krishna as his only competition for the jagat guru title. ramesvara was takinga 15 year old girl to the mall and buying her trinkets. Hrydayananda had a known history with his secretary. jayatirtha was dead.

Kirtanananda Swami was sure he had the task in hand and he could pull it off.

he was already taking more collections out of tamal's zone than tamal was getting himself and jayapataka wasn't known for his fabulous skamkirtan scores.

Back at NV, Kuladri, who was already indictable for his part in the sulocan murder, suddenly saw the need for foreign travel. when Kirtanananda Swami told kuladri that he would have to move his wife and family to india and run Kirtanananda Swami's new Vrindaban 2 from tikli, kuladri drew up an exit strategy quickly. Kirtanananda Swami dropped the news on kuladri on their trip to india and he left kuladri there. Kirtanananda Swami planned to return to the US and he was to send kutila over as soon as he returned to NV. they would open "a real gurukula" where Kirtanananda Swami could be worshipped in the manner he'd grown accustomed to in NV.

Kirtanananda Swami had pulled his fifty gurukulis from the Vrindaban gurukula when the multi-guru, multi-vyasasan system first came crashing to the courtyard of Vrindaban gurukula. Kirtanananda Swami's attempt at financially devasting ISKCON into submission was having much the effect he sought. as Kirtanananda Swami saw it, soon all the world would be beating a path to his door. he was the jagat guru for the whole universe, they just didn't know it yet, but he was working hard to tell everyone.

at this point, by the spring of 1987, kuladri and Radhanath and three other senior devotees had been warned Kirtanananda Swami was abusing kids, yet they let the charade continue until they were out of harms way with all they required to relocate. kuladri called kutila back at NV with his hastily conceived escape plan before Kirtanananda Swami's jet had even returned to US airspace the opportunity to replace the injured and maybe dying leader had gone horribly awry for the once # 2.

Radhanath had already resigned himself to the indian exile; heck, it was better than being king kong's three holed blow up doll, plus, he would live a doc desai's mansion in bombay, so it wouldn't be so bad. perrier is perrier whether you drink it in west Virginia or in mumbai. Radhanath had the plans for his escape crafted for him by Greg Carlson (Gaura shakti das) and kuladri and the newest recruit to Kirtanananda Swami's criminal enterprise, ISKCON's illustrious GBC chairman, devamrta swami. Devamrita Swami was no neophyte to international travel to avoid prosecution. back in states, he was touted as a hero for running the soviet bloc countries and for using swiss bank accounts the same way the temple devotees went through wax paper. his modus operandi signature was on the list of places one might be able to escape to.

BT swa was with NV 100% and he could be counted on to deliver dasarath to the NVposition. a position statement of the "Prabhupada disciples" living at NV had been printed by Chakravarti and Dinasarana devi and the remnants of Hansadutta's outlaw band from the left coast. they purported "the largest community of Prabhupada disciples in the world", when, in fact at each initiation, everyone was forced to "renew their vows", only this time it was to Kirtanananda Swami and not everyone was all that willing to do that. the once thriving community of over 700 devotees was hard pressed to find enough pujaris to change The Deities clothes. 35 people a day at mangal arti was an average during the transition back to ISKCON fundamentalism from Kirtanananda Swami's interfaith experiment.

all Kirtanananda Swami's cash, everything, had been put in the careof his Vassili, Ronald Nay (Gopinath das, RadhaVrindaban Chandra swami, RVC swa). gopinath had to protect Kirtanananda Swami's interests because Kirtanananda Swami had covered for him when he was ousted as the gurukula headmaster over abuse allegations. in ths case,as to the present day, the abused boy and his family were the ones that had to move and perpetrator became an even more confident supporter of the one covering up the abuse. The sculptor for much of the palace, Joe Cappaletti (Bhagavatananda das) found out that Gopinath had abused his son and he was furious. At all gaunt individual of italian ancestry from the south philly area, Bhagavat came to Kirtanananda Swami first when he heard.

Kirtanananda Swami came to know bhagavat's mind well enough to know that one of them must leave. Now that killing was an accepted option at new Vrindaban, Bhagavat favoured that option. Kirtanananda Swami gave up his palace sculptor to protect his twice fallen gurukula headmaster. These guys give new meaning to the term "headmaster".

The current ISKCON lawsuit settlement offers the doubly abused 2nd generation of Prabhupada disciples a forum to challenge the behaviour of certain individuals, but owing to a variety of factors, no one has. refusing to accept a cashsettlement, or taking a minimal $ 500 payment for voting now as never an option for 614 of the 620 complainants. for those six voting no, the same "powers that be" was not acceptable.

forget about the broken down sankirtan mothers. Forget about the millions of dollars in stolen temple assets. Forget about the abuse of thousands of devotee babies. just take the $ 500 and swear to never speak about this again. yeah, right after you take the release form, wipe your butt with it and then eat the whole page. AND the same management in place afterwards as what brought us here. what a master stroke! Brilliant! as the heir to Kirtanananda Swami's billionaire indian mafia, Radhanath controlled more of ISKCON's india than anyone other than jayapataka. gopal Krishna's puny mumbai mafia, headed by gopal's bihari henchman, Devakinandana posed no threat to Radhanath's gang. hadn't even Radhanath's third rate assistant, mahaprabhu, shamed gopal Krishna into submission on the steps of the juhu temple at sunday feast? didn't mahaprabhu now sit dutifully at Radhanath's feet? couldn't mahaprabhu release "gopal nectarbits" on Radhanath's behalf, as he once did on Kirtanananda Swami's behalf? wouldn't that info be as damning now as it was then? life was good and, as Radhanath assured everyone: "Krishna will protect His devotee". for those not speaking the ISKCRIT language, this means "i have big enough backup to pull this off".

dr. naredra desai (nathji das) was a leader amongst the indian business community. he was at one time the 5th richest man in the world. still in the top 20 of wealth on this planet, he winced when Radhanath promised "if this lawsuit would just go away, my disciple will build a multimillion dollar temple here at NV". it seems that Radhanath a his wealthy disciples may have cancelled those construction plans in favor of a house a sanyassi might fall down to a raise a family in.

Now with his sexual peccadillo's erupting like natural disasters on a displeased planet, the cover up must continue until a new "bonafide jagat guru" can be located. if only swami prabhupada hadn't died and left his body, then we wouldn't be stuck with such poor options. oh, but wait! he didn't have"a material body"; he couldn't have "left it"; he couldn't be "killed" by devious disciples, but his books could be poisoned, and "book bhagavatam" being non-different from "devotee bhagavatm", we could very easily say that someone is poisoning swami maharaj's movement, even up to the present day.

This brings us to the timeless devotee question, "when is it permissible to kill on spiritual grounds?". the last time Iskcon's great minds met and openly discussed this issue was shortly after the sulocan whacking and the discussion was far from open or widely publicized.
