==============================

1) ABOUT ADRIDHARANA DASA

[PADA: Adridharana dasa has sent a chill up pada's spine the way he insults the molested and victimized children of ISKCON. He personally threw these children into the mouth of his vicious homosexual pedophile rakshasa camp for 20 years or more. And now he is criticizing the children for having a bad attitude? He should be apologizing to these children, not giving them his best cheeze-ball, snide, cavalier, remorseless, biting, icy criticisms. If the children have a bad attitude, who caused that? We already know: Mr. Adri's enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophile's agenda, which he supported all along, that is who. Of course Adri is always poking holes at us over the poison issue the same way. So Adri was at the scene of the poison complaint, and he was at the scene of the molestation complaint, and now he is giving us his snide cavalier remarks? No remorse. His attitude seems to be ditto of Bhagavan's?

We fear that Adri is another guy who clawed his way to the top of the heap to get a big post in ISKCON by stomping on the heads of our children. As such, it seems that he has gained his big ISKCON post artificially, and politically, and in sum his "big post" was bought by the price of his party's standing upon a huge pile of crushed skulls of these innocent babies? Now, he not only shows no remorse, he is mouthing the same cavalier critical remarks of some other GBC, Bhagavan, and similar others from his so-called ex-camp. Gives me the creeps! And worse, Suhotra now says that all of his problems are from his childhood (see below). So "childhoood problems" can cause "current problems," but that only applies to the GBC and their cronies, and not the ex-gurukulis? What the????]

Dear Puranjana prabhu, pamho. Agtsp.

We have some stuff for Adri, the self styled IRM Chairman. In one of the recent IRM newsletters Adri matter of factly said that he is ready to investigate if information is given to him. So, here for a start we present him with two cases to act upon & take appropriate measures.

1. This is regarding Sattvic his own vice president. Recently an allegation has surfaced in Adri's temple that Sattvic had illegal sex with a lady who is married to Bali Maharaj, a disciple of the fallen Bhavananda. This lady is most probably initiated by JPS but is famous for her loose character & at one time was considering leaving her husband but somehow stayed back.

2. Also recently Sureshwar had sex with a widow. She is the wife of Golokenath (GK), a disciple of JPS. Golokenath passed away in very unusual circumstances. Temple devotees allege that he passed away untimely because of the negligence of the temple authorities. They failed to look after him & give him proper medication at the proper time. They forced a sick devotee to look after another sick devotee. As fate would have it he passed away within a few days. At the crematorium one of GK's Godsister shouted at Mahajan for being the cause of GK's death by neglecting him. Also Chaitanya Das's wife who were very close to GK shouted at Adri & Sattvic for neglecting him which ultimately resulted in death.

So, Dear Adri, please check on the above two facts, investigate them & let us know what you have done to correct the situation. We are expecting a report from you at the earliest. For both the above happenings we will share with you the clue which we happen to know. Both the incidents of illicit sex by Sattvic, your vice president & Sureshwar the care taker of ISKCON House, took place in your famous 22, Gurusaday Road, your very own business house, where on many occasions onions, garlic & wine is also served to facilitate parties.

Btw, for the information of the devotees, we hereby disclose that Rukmini Dasi & Balaram Das are the pen names of a devotee group who have at some or the other time had stayed with Adri & are still in touch with ISKCON. As of now we are 7 in strength. Our sole mission is to expose Adri & his characterless character. Also we request devotees to give us information that they might have about the ISKCON Calcutta temple activities. Specifically we request info on Sattvic, the reigning vice president of ISKCON Calcutta.

The FRO in Calcutta has registered a case against Sattvic for holding two different passports. One of an Irish national which he held uptill '89. After that he has been holding an Italian national passport. He was remanded in police custody under criminal offence. He has been released on bail. His case is still pending & is supposed to come up for hearing in August. He has been forbidden to leave Calcutta & also has to report to the FRO every week. Before '89 he used the Irish passport for coming to India & after '89 he used the Italian passport for entering India. When questioned by the police he denied being the same person, as the photo proved in both the passports were the same. So, now the police want to prove that he was in India before '89. They have something but it is not conclusive enough. What we want is if someone who knew Sattvic being in India before '89 should contact us immediately at rukbala84@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance for all the help. Ys, Rukmini & Balaram

2) SUHOTRA ON LEAVE

Suhotra Swami Requests Leave-of-Absence as Guru and GBC

By the GBC Executive Committee (EC)

Date: 21 June, 2000: H. H. Suhotra Swami, who serves as an initiating guru and as a GBC regional secretary in several European countries, has requested the GBC Executive Committee to grant him a one-year leave-of-absence from his responsibilities as GBC and guru. As a letter from Suhotra Swami appended below explains, a recent sequence of trying events in ISKCON has brought him to an acute awareness of certain personal emotional issues, which for many years he had not confronted and which are rooted in an extremely difficult early family life.

[PADA: A guru is supposed to have already transcended the problems from his family life? "I was immersed in thinking of Radha and Krishna when I suddenly remembered when my sister put a frog down my shirt when I was in third grade." Ummm, what?]

EC: After consulting with senior Godbrothers and with the GBC chairman, Suhotra Swami has concluded that in order to deal with these matters fully and completely, he requires a sabbatical period free from the stresses and demands of his regular duties. In addition he wishes to take the help of professional devotee counseling.

[PADA: Uhhh, ohhh. Another guru "goes on sabbatical." Let's see, Ramesvara went on Sabbatical, and so did Jaggadish, Jayatirtha, Harikesha, and a whole pack more. Satsvarupa has been "on Sabbatical" for the past 47 years. Why is this? "The guru is supposed to give daily guidance," so says the GBC, but he is on vacation? And the guru also needs "professional counseling"? The acharya is a sick mental case puppy? The guru is as good as God, and so, God needs a psychiatrist?]

EC: Ravindra Svarupa dasa, the GBC Chairman, has personally met with Suhotra Swami and discussed the matter in depth with him. Ravindra Svarupa dasa reports that he finds Suhotra Swami's attitude and approach to be highly mature and Krishna conscious, and that he believes that Suhotra Swami ought to be given full emotional and spiritual support by ISKCON devotees, who may anticipate his quick return to his normal duties.

[PADA: You mean his "normal activities" of pretending that he is transcendental and thus cheating the public thereby?]

EC: Accordingly, the Executive Committee grants Suhotra Swami's request for a one-year leave of absence from his guru and GBC duties. This will be for an indeterminate period of time, but at least beyond the GBC meeting at Mayapura, when, as a matter of course, a more complete consideration of his situation will be undertaken.

[PADA: Yep, in Mayapura we can get him ghost-busted.]

EC: The Executive Committee of the European Regional Governing Body will consult with the leaders of the areas in which Suhotra Swami has been serving as GBC to make sure his services are covered during his leave of absence. Suhotra Swami will not perform initiations during his leave, and he has also given written instructions to his disciples. These have been endorsed by the GBC Chairman.

[PADA: A goofball is not a guru, and thus he has no disciples? This is what the GBC and the Gaudiya Matha cannot figure out. Jim Jones also said that he had disciples and that he was like Jesus, no, he was and is a fraud. Only a bona fide guru can take the karma of his flock, make them into bona fide disciples, take them back to Godhead, and so on.]

EC: Any of his disciples may correspond directly with the Chairman if they have further issues or problems. Here is the statement to ISKCON devotees from Suhotra Swami.

--------------
19 June, 2000
Dear Vaisnavas (Maharajas, Prabhus, Prabhvis),

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Taking a straw in my mouth I submit this statement at your lotus feet. There is an account of some of my failings circulating through the e-mail medium. [A comment on that is to be found in the footnote at the bottom.] If that has disturbed you, dear reader, I apologize to you. If I have knowingly or unknowingly offended you by my past behavior, I beg for your forgiveness.

[PADA: Ohh ohh! Pada has caused another maha - bhogha - what? "guru" to have a nervous cantanction attack.]

EC: I have a problem with depression.

[PADA: Well no kidding, you cheat people and you think Krishna is going to make you feel happy? No, you are going to be like you role model: Sats-he-duped-ya. He is also depressed and sitting in a dark room writing prayers to spider man shoes, you are like Mr. Duped-ya.]

EC: Depression is nowadays classified as an illness, not just a moody state of thinking.

[PADA: Well, if you are a guru that means you are thinking of Radha and Krishna 24 hours a day. How come you are depressed? Is Krishna depressing? What kind of rubbish is this? You are a most severe offender. Krishna is depressing? What rubbish! Is it depressing to think of God? NOT! Why not admit that you are not remembering God 24 hours a day like a real guru, rather you viciously self-advertised yourself as such, and that is why you are depressed, you are in illusion and you are a severe offender to boot. You are not thinking of God --at all!]

EC: From a Krsna conscious point of view, the cause of depression is deep-rooted attachment.

[PADA: Umm, so you have deep-rooted depression, deep-rooted attachments, deep-rooted illusions, and in sum deep-rooted forgetfulness of God, so that means you are in deep-rooted maha maya, not yoga maya like a bona fide guru. So, that means you are deep-rooted in cheating us...]

EC: The roots of my depression in this lifetime go back to when I was a child, which was for me a time of special torment.

[PADA: Ohhh really? So, being tormented as a child causes problems later on? Ummm hmmm. So why did you support the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles cult, which tormented our society's children of ISKCON so miserably? You know that tormenting children is bad, so why do you support the violent homosexual pedophile guru's regime?]

EC: I joined ISKCON with a view to flee away from all the problems of my childhood.

[PADA: And then you joined up with the people who created hell for other people's childhood. You got away from your problem by joining another worse problem.]

EC: But the instrument of the practice of bhakti-yoga, i.e. my mind, was not only unstable in the usual sense (cancala), but also deformed under a burden of unhappy issues with my family. Thus for the entire time I've been a devotee I've had nearly zero contact with my family. Of course I found happiness in my new family, ISKCON.

So gradually, somehow or other, I accepted sannyasa, guruship, and membership on the GBC -- not because I wanted these positions particularly; they were for preaching. As a preacher I was not unsuccessful, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada. Temples opened, devotees joined. But from time to time I was bothered by bouts of depression, which weakened my grip on my ISKCON responsibilities. This trend started to became especially problematic in 1996, when I was made chairman of the GBC. In 1997 I was vice-chairman; depression over the "Was Prabhupada poisoned?" issue forced me to resign that post.

[PADA: Well yes, this is good. Good boy! You did something right here. Bravo. There is a spark of light in the cloud of your darkness.]

EC: When in 1998 Harikesa das repudiated Srila Prabhupada, yet another wave of depression swept over me, since I respected Harikesa as my sannyasa guru and thought of him as a staunch Prabhupada man.

[PADA: OK, why would a staunch "Prabhupada man" be the biggest loudmouth defender of the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles, as "Srila Prabhupada's successors"? You are in illusion worse than any karmi, who never supports the above agenda.]

EC: I don't mean for you to take all this as reasons for my depression, though they are certainly precipitation factors. Actually, "reasoning" was part of my problem all along -- that I looked around for different "reasons" for my unhappiness, thinking they could be overthrown by superior logic. But the actual cause lies in the heart.

[PADA: Also good. If the heart is polluted, then there can be no happiness. So why is a person who has a polluted heart being advertised as pure in heart?]

EC: It is the same cause Krsna gives in Bhagavad-gita for Arjuna's unhappiness: hrdaya-daurbalyam, or weakness of heart. Weakness that was already there from a disturbed childhood gradually became more apparent under pressure. With a Godbrother trained in psychological counseling, I've discussed my childhood problems. He was emphatic that they amount to a serious disorder.

[PADA: Well if you have serious mental problems, you should not have been considered as a bona fide parampara guru. This is most offensive.]

EC: I cannot solve a problem like this myself. Since the chairmen of the GBC for years 1999 and 2000 support measures of my recovery rather than my renouncing all position and just fading into oblivion, I have requested the GBC Executive Committee to authorize a program of rehabilitation.

[PADA: Ohh ohh, Ravindra Swarupa still wants the people who de facto admit that they are cracking to remain as "Srila Prabhupada's guru successors." Will he never learn? Yes, Ravindra does not want you to "fade into oblivion" because he is going to court real soon and he needs all the allies he can get. "Don't go riding off into the oblivion sunset cowboy Dusty-pada, the Turley injuns are gonna attack us GBC at midnite, we need all the guns we can get....]

EC: This will involve a leave of absence from GBC/guru responsibilities while I take counseling from a devotee professional. In embracing this program, I think of Srila Prabhupada's statement thus: An exalted devotee of the Lord never thinks that he is a paramahamsa or a liberated person. He always remains a humble servant of the Lord. In all reverse conditions, he agrees to suffer the results of his past life. He never accuses the Lord of putting him into a distressed condition. These are the signs of an exalted devotee. Tat te 'nukampam susamiksyamanah. When suffering reversed conditions, the devotee always considers that the reverse conditions are the Lord's concessions. He is never angry with his master; he is always satisfied with the position his master offers. In any case, he continues performing his duty in devotional service. Such a person is guaranteed promotion back home, back to Godhead. I do not consider myself an exalted devotee, but since these instructions apply to all of us, I am taking them to heart.

Your humble servant, Suhotra Swami

[Footnote] I tried escaping the depression of recent years by taking shelter of writing. I've published three books; the fourth was to be a novel or filmscript set in the year 1951. Why set it in that year? I discovered in a 49 year old issue of *Harper's* magazine a short story entitled "Grandma and the Hindu Monk" that featured a Gaudiya Vaisnava sadhu who arrived in New York and moved in with a Jewish family, where he chanted the holy names, worshiped Tulasi and preached Krsna-bhakti. I conceived of a plot that would take advantage of the prophetic quality of this magazine article.

To catch the flavor of the times I aquired some films-on-video originally produced in the late '40's-early '50's. I also read books from that time and about that time. And I got carried away. My sadhana deteriorated. I was collecting books and videos and whiling away the late hours with them. I admit it was a waste of time. So I've handed over the collection to a devotee in America who majored in film and graphic computer arts and now works professionally in that area. Maybe something will yet come out of the idea.

About the indications of other failings, I beg for your forgiveness and understanding. Due to an unfortunate childhood I have an emotional disorder, and this has influenced my spiritual life. It is only by the amazing power of Srila Prabhupada's mercy that I could serve in his mission at all. I pray that under his loving grace and the loving guidance and support of his sincere followers that the obstacles to favorable devotional service shall be removed.

Subject: Letter from Guru Maharaja
My beloved disciples,

Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Grace. It so happens that I suffer from a condition known as "depression." Depression is classified not simply as an emotional mood, but as a disease. The root of this state of mind goes back to my childhood, and the fruit of it has appeared as a growing inability to get a grip on my responsibilities. I used to think that simply by continuing to travel and preach as I've done for years that I'd overcome all obstacles. I've found that in my case at least it doesn't work.

After consulting with the GBC Executive Committee, I find I need to have at least one year of stress-free life of secluded devotional service and counseling by devotee professionals. For that time my GBC service will be handled by others. I want you to know emphatically that I love all my disciples and am most thankful for their services. I pray to the lotus feet of Krsna for your spiritual security. Please take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and his books; please seek instructions from advanced Vaisnavas in ISKCON.

If you so desire I shall continue on as your spiritual master, but you cannot demand too much of me at the moment. So, for example, if you are having questions and problems that need solving, please seek out others who are qualified to guide you. For the coming period of time my traveling must be reduced to an absolute minimum. I am pained that I cannot visit you for a while. Please understand that I am suffering from an illness. Other senior ISKCON devotees have had to step back from dynamic traveling and preaching due to physical illness. Please pray my illness will pass, and we will see one another again, healthy and happy, as we did in the "good old days!"

Please also understand that I seek the solution to my problems through GBC assistance. Srila Prabhupada desired the GBC to represent his intelligence. Thus I am convinced that I am submitting to Prabhupada's desire in accepting this program of rehabilitation. I request you all to be similarly convinced. If any of *you* are having or will have difficulties, please follow my example in this regard. I thank you again, and again emphasize the fact that I love you and that therefore I cannot leave you. I pray you will continue to reciprocate this love. Hare Krsna.

Your ever well-wisher,

Suhotra Swami

PS Please read my disciple Bhagavat Dharma Prabhu's letter; if you have questions about my letter or his, please contact him. Thanks again.
