1) Rape accused found dead in jail

The Pioneer

Kolkota (Agencies) - An International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) employee, Sureswar Das, in judicial custody for allegedly raping a widow, was on Thursday found dead in his cell in Presidency Jail. Inspector General (Prisons), Balkar Singh, told that Das alias Sarkar, had "committed suicide" by hanging himself with a towel. Das, caretaker of an ISKCON unit in the metropolis, had allegedly raped a widow on June 29 in his office premises. His bail was rejected by a Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on July 20.

The discovery of Das's body in the early hours of the day created a flutter in the jail and the local police were informed. Singh said as per rules, he would seek a detailed report on Das' death.

2) Vrindavana imbroglio

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

Hare Krsna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am so mad, I don't know what to do. Things are going on at the Sri Sri Krsna Balaram Mandir in Vrndaban which have shocked and frightened me deeply.

Srila Prabhupada struggled for so many years to create all the wonderful, transcendental facets of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness, his personal offering (for the next ten thousand years) to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, to save the Entire World and bring us all back home, Back to Godhead.

Doesn't anybody still remember what we were before ISKCON gave us shelter? Doesn't anybody see that despite our serious failings, conditioned souls are still finding shelter in Srila Prahhupada's ISKCON? The last thing Srila Prabhupada instructed his disciples was, "It is not necessary to increase anything, but PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYTHING I HAVE DEVELOPED BECOME REDUCED." Does anyone remember this?

WAKE UP PEOPLE! THE HEAD PUJARI OF SRILA PRAHUPADA'S VRNDABAN TEMPLE IS A DISCIPLE OF NARAYANA MAHARAJA. THE TEMPLE PRESIDENT IS ALSO NM'S FOLLOWER. BOTH OF THESE MEN, IN CONJUNCTION WITH NUMEROUS OTHER SRILA PRABHUPADA INSURGENTS AND NM DISCIPLES ARE COVERTLY PLOTTING TO TURN OVER ALL SRILA PRABHUPADA'S ASSETS,TEMPLES AND BHAKTAS INTO THE WAITING HANDS OF NARAYANA MAHARAJA, WHO HAS FULLY CONVINCED THEM THAT HE IS THE ACARYA OF ISKCON AND OPENLY CLAIMS ISKCON AS HIS OWN:

"Srila Swamiji told me to give him samadhi, and I did it. He had so much faith in me. I am not his uttara adhikari (successor). Actually I am. Those who are falling down are his successors outwardly, but spiritually and transcendentally, I am his successor." (Qouote by Narayan Maharaja, see VNN, World, 5-10-00, "What is the Gaudiya Sampradaya?" Srila Prabhupada ORDERS all his followers to not mix with the Gaudiya Matha:

"WE SHALL BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THEM AND NOT MIX WITH THEM. THIS IS MY INSTRUCTION TO YOU ALL. THEY CANNOT HELP OUR MOVEMENT, BUT THEY ARE VERY COMPETENT TO HARM OUR NATURAL PROGRESS. SO WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THEM." Letter to Rupanuga 7/4/52

"Any opinion different from the opinion of the spiritual master is useless. One cannot infiltrate materially concocted ideas into spiritual advancement." CC Adi 12, 9 Although wolves in sheeps' clothing have infiltrated ISKCON at the highest levels, they smokescreen that ISKCON: "needn't worry about Srila Narayan Maharaj "taking over" iskcon." "There is not much to take over anymore anyway except cumbersome under utlized real estate." (Puru das quote, VNN.)

[PADA: Well, the GBC infiltered these ideas in by long-standing assocations with Sridhara Maharaja, Narayana Maharaja, various babajis, astrolgers, ghost-busters and so on. In fact, their ghost buster was ordering the entire GBC around in 1990, and he de facto took over ISKCON and made a ghost busting of gurus and temple program that went on for years. The GBC was openly saying that ISKCON was being run by evil ghosts? This is the GBC's fault mainly... Of interest, just when the GBC said that Krishna's pure shakshat successors are overtaken by ghosts, Narayana Maharaja became their biggest public defender in the ISKCON Journal. Apparently, NM thinks that ghosts are more powerful than Krishna, which is the upshot of their 1990 idea? We think demon ghosts are greater than God, yes we do, for the Gaudiya Matha tells me to.... oh swell.]

Srila Prabhupada must be furious to hear His transcendentally beautiful, world-famous Temple of Sri Sri Radha Shyamasundara, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Krsna and Balarama called "cumbersome under utilized real estate." by materialistic rascal ingrates. (His sincere followers will also be outraged.) But He will be more furious if the ISKCON leaders, who have somehow allowed NM's followers to infiltrate his society to this extent, let things deteriorate further until NM's followers completely take over His Entire Life's Work and destroy Lord Caitanya's Movement."

SRILA PRABHUPADA WANTS IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN TO REMOVE THESE DANGEROUS SNAKES AND HAVE THEM REPLACED WITH HIS GENUINE, FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS. DEATH WOULD BE PREFERABLE TO FAILURE. "A devoted disciple of the Spiritual Master would rather die with the Spiritual Master than fail to execute the Spiritual Master's mission ...it is the duty of the disciples to take charge of the mission of the Spiritual Master and execute it properly. Otherwise, the disciple should decide to die along with the Spiritual Master. In other words, to execute the will of the Spiritual Master, the disciple should be prepared to lay down his life and abandon all personal consideration." SB 4.28.50

[PADA: Oh, oh. It is the fourth canto story of King Puranjana again. We knew this name was going to have some strange hidden meanings the day we got it. Oh oh. Yet we feel blessed because it saved us from all kinds of unforseen problems. "Puranjana is the junkyard dog of ISKCON," yes and thank you Krishna for that. And let me hide under this here junk car and watch my freaking tail!]

Thank you for your immediate attention. Your servant,

Jaya Prabhupada dasi

[PADA: Well, first of all, where is your army to takeover the temple there?]

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

Dear Puranjana das,

Haribol and Jaya Srila Prabhupada! How're you? Thanks for posting my article on your newsletter. I accept the criticisms you commented on it, as i realize that you have all along said many things to the same effect, and that this is nothing new in regards to Srila Prabhupada being defamed, misquoted, misunderstood, etc.

This whole gurukulla thing is very hot and touchy and has brought up many issues among thinking devotees who are willing to confront these issues. My brother and sister-in-law left Iskcon years ago due to what they saw as abuse and mismanagement, etc. Anyway, last night i had dinner with them and we talked about the court case etc, which doesn't surprise them the least.

[PADA: This is the point we have made all along. The corruption was known to many of us, and even to many congregation members like your relatives, yet little or no action was undertaken to fix it. Mostly, people just abandoned ship. Thus, in the Gaudiya Matha they also had (a) one party that deviated, and (b) one party that left (abandoned), and both were useless. The good news is that leaving is vastly superior to staying and supporting the corruption.]

SD: They brought up some points which i wish you would please clarify to me. They said that Srila Prabhupada did know about the Dallas school abuse and that nothing was done about it back then, and then more schools were started when the Dallas school was closed. They said the dallas school was closed by outside authorities, and would have gone on if they hadn't intervened.

[PADA: We are not sure of the actual history of the gurukula transitions because I was in England where there was none at that time? We had wanted Mukunda dasa to investigate all of this on the folio, but as soon as we asked him to do that he decided instead to kill us off, and make us into chopped terrier stew and feed us to the GBC. Another good plan gone haywire? If anyone else knows for sure they can write to us. However, we do know that Srila Prabhupada wanted the children to be treated nicely and that this was not done. We do know that he was having a hard time getting the GBC to do what he really wanted at all. We do know that they poisoned him when he wanted to pull down the bogus sannyasis and make a varnasrama householder program, which would have been good for the kids.]

SD: They also said that Srila Prabhupada is responsible for the institution he started, which included the schools. And that he was supposed to know everything, being a perfect person.

[PADA: Well then, they are saying that the activities of Judas are due to his following the orders of Jesus? This makes no sense.]

SD: I know that I am responsible in part for my daughter's abuse because i allowed her to stay in the gurkulla. i was also abused by the temples, and my husband, but ultimately i have to accept responsibility for what occured in my life and my child's. Anyway, thus said, i would really appreciate it if you could please respond to my above questions, thank you so much. the only association i have is myself pretty much. i am getting to know another devotee in the area again, but right now it's me and the computer, so i'm reaching out to you. hope you are well. Hare Krishna!!! your god-sister in distress, Saradiya dasi

PS the reason i'm asking you these questions is because maybe you might have access to info which i'm aware of. i thought about asking Dayananda, who was the gurukulla headmaster at Dallas, i think, but what would i get from that? would he even tell me the truth, i don't know. i know deep down inside my heart that Srila Prabhupada would not want to abuse or hurt any soul, of course. i still have questions as to what really did happen with the Dallas school. when this case comes to trial is probably when everyone will really find out the truth of the matter.

[PADA: Well, this is the trouble, the "whole truth" is going to be hard to come out clean in this regard. For starters, Srila Prabhupada's poisoning is at the root of this rotten castor bean tree, and people are wondering --why has the tree of ISKCON become so bad off?, without taking into account the poisoning of the root? It is sort of like looking at a plane crash without looking at the black box recorder? We have to start at point "a" "vahi bat, it is the same old history, I am being given poison." If this point is not understood, then 2+2=5 will not produce any further good calculations.
