Q: What is happening in Bangalore? Heard it is still ritvik?
--------------------------------------

1) NARAYANAN MAHARAJA IS THE NEW ACHARYA OF ISKCON, ummm well maybe

Apparently, the followers of Narayana Maharaja are now circulating a new leaflet which claims that he is Krishna's newest "successor" and indeed he is "ISKCON's next acharya." Narayana Maharaja is thus being advertised as the new heir apparent, next in line guru successor to Krishna, and indeed the new sum total of the demigods, and so on. Of course this phenomena is not new. For centuries in India and certainly within post 1977 ISKCON many different persons have tried to paint themselves as "the next REALLY REAL successor guru to Krishna -- out of the pack of ersatz gurus" and so on. Many folks from the post 1936 Gaudiya Matha did this as well as the post 1977 ISKCON GBC.

Of course in the ISKCON situation, no one seems to be able to answer the first question: "Why have these alleged 'new successors to God' like Sridhara Maharaja, Narayana Maharaja et al. collaborated, corraborated, assisted, given blessings to, and in sum supported the (GBC's) enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles as God's successor's regime as they have done? And Narayana Maharaja has also endorsed the post 1936 Gaudiya Matha's homosexual guru lineage's founder fathers (such as Sridhara Maharaja) as his idea of bona fide gurus as well? This begs the question, which previous bona fide "successors to God" aided and abetted such violent homosexual "guru" lineages, and/or partook in such lineages, and/or encouraged such lineages, and/or endorsed such lineages and worse, acted as the high priest "conjugal love" expert "rasika" advisor to such homosexual and even pedophile "guru" lineages like Narayana Maharaja has done? Perhaps there is no good answer to this question? No kidding. And that is why they do not reply -- they cannot.

First of all, after 1936 in India some deviants declared that homosexuals and other persons (described by Srila Prabhupada as motivated fools) were "Krishna's successor gurus." According to Narayana Maharaja, whose statements were printed in the 1990 "ISKCON Journal," the founder fathers of this homosexual worshipping deviation are his idea of "acharyas" i.e. Jesus-like pure devotees and Krishna's successors. Of course nevermind that one of the odious results of Narayana Maharaja associate's "guru" deviation was that innocent people in the post 1936 Gaudiya Matha were forced to worship violent homosexuals -- or face being banned, beaten and assassinated for non -compliance. And indeed some "dissidents" were in fact beaten and murdered. Nevermind also that the beatings and murders also produced bad media publicity for the Krishna religion all over India, and discouraged many other people from participating in any relgion due to their creating a corrupt impression of religion. In other words, a host of inauspicious reactions were generated from their idea of worshipping homosexuals and other deviants as "God's successors." For example Srila Prabhupada says such religious scandals increase atheism and a lack of desire amongst the general populace to take to spiritual life.

Recently, one of Narayana Maharaja's publications cited his friend Bhagavata Maharaja saying "there is nothing wrong" with their making Ananta Vasudeva (a homosexual) as their guru as they did in 1936. Yes, there is "nothing wrong" with their falsely rubber stamping homosexuals as gurus, and the resultant program of oppressing if not murdering those of us who disagree. Of course if we tell Narayana Maharaja that people are still worshipping (so-called departed) pure devotee gurus like LORD JESUS he will become angry and declare that the worship of Jesus is bogus because they have a system of (Christian) "priests." Bogus priests! (ritviks) he angrily protests. Not found in scriptures he says. To sum, worship of Jesus is bogus but -- his idea, worship of violent murderers and child molesters and homosexuals is what he has recommended. And he still insists in his publications "there is nothing wrong with this (worship of homosexuals as Christ-like saints)"? Yep, worship of Jesus is BAD, EVIL, SATANIC, whereas worship of NM's little butt bugger buddies project, well now that has been his idea of bona fide. Oh fer sure. That is why the Bible says, beware the anti-Christ. No kidding. Yep. "Nothing wrong with this, hey, kill the devotees of God, why not, it is good sport"? Of course, save a few of them so you can have illicit sex with men, women and children, nothing wrong with that either?

Nevermind that in NM's "guru's" 1936 imbroglio a child was poisoned and killed to preserve the reputation of their post 1936 bogus "guru." Nevermind that this deviation was condemned by other Krishna devotees like Srila Prabhupada as "killing guru" and so on. Nevermind that Srila Prabhupada had also said that some of these 1936 founder fathers of the worship of deviants -- wanted to commit violence upon him and that a guard should be posted to protect him from some of Narayana Maharaja's alleged "gurus"? Nevermind that Srila Prabhupada's poison complaint is suspected by some to be linked with the people who wanted to do violence to him -- i.e. Narayana Maharaja's "gurus"? Nevermind that as soon as Srila Prabhupada's poison complaint came out NM was spitting mad at us and he was making horrible faces at us for -- attacking his "guru" pals, the probable poisoners of the pure devotee. Yep, we love Judas, Pontius Pilate and the Roman Soldiers. And did he ever apologize to us for doing that? Nope. Wrong and proud of it. Nothing wrong with this.... ummm, ya think?

Worse, after 1977 another homosexual guru outcropping emerged in the shape of the ISKCON GBC and to no one's surprise, Narayana Maharaja again began to prop up this "worship of homosexuals as Jesus-like saints and gurus" deviation as well. Except this time, Narayana Maharaja's alleged "gurus" were not only homosexuals but also pedophiles who created a huge webs and nests infrastructure of molesting of children especially in India. And nevermind that some of the worst molesting was going on right at Narayana Maharaja's feet, at his doorstep, in Vrindavana India. Local doctors were alarmed that so many young boys, in what Narayana Maharaja said were his idea of "guru's" schools, were having to get "anal reconstructive surgery operations." Yet all this is the apparent by-product of a lineage of "gurus" who were openly advertised as "pure devotees like Jesus" with Narayana Maharja's knowledge, and indeed he was supporting the GBC while they were making these odious juxtapositions of deviants with bona fide saints like Jesus.

In 1984 the GBC was again seeking out Narayana Maharaja's help, this time to substantiate their idea that pure devotees of God, Jesus-like saints, are sometimes prone to become fallen (and engage in what GBC guru Jayadvaita swami admits is: illicit sex with men, women and children and so on). And so they mutually hammered out a scheme called "re-initiations." Yes, when your "bona fide Jesus-like guru" falls down, you need to get "another initiation from another guru," albeit another guru who was voted in by the homosexuals and pedophile gurus? Yep, when your guru is out having sex with mom, pop and the kids, he has to vote in another successor, NM's new wave of buddies. And just after they reinstated a known homosexual pedophile as a person they said was "Vishnupada," and another was "Jesus" as they said in their BTG, NM stepped up to the plate to go to bat for this violent pedophile worship regime.

This was the policy (that gurus like Jesus sometimes are deviants) that ISKCON guru Satsvarupa dasa goswami writes that Narayana Maharaja had assisted the GBC with at that time: "gurus are deviants, gurus fall down." Of course all the while he has said that the GBC could not have been mere administrators (or priests) rather that they are gurus. In other words, had he said that the GBC are mere administrators (or at best priests) who could fail, this would have made sense because a Church administrator can fail. Yet Narayana Maharaja gets very angry when we try to say his homosexual pedophile gurus are or were only administrators, or not even that? No, he insists that they are or were gurus. By 1986 the GBC's homosexual and pedophile guru lineage's activity was very widespread in ISKCON, under the umbrella of their enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophile's regime which now had Narayana Maharaja on board as a sort of legal/ scripture/ cheerleader/ advisor and "God's conjugal love" preacher to the GBC "gurus." Persons such as myself and Sulochana dasa (Steve Bryant) tried to publicy object to their corrupt project, and after Sulochana was killed, NM supported his killers as a guru lineage all the more. Murder is fine, because when you object to their molester beeja lineage you deserve worse. Nothing wrong with this, hey murder is not wrong?

And yep, amongst our worst opponents were folks like Narayana Maharaja. He said that our idea that their molester guru lineage was bogus was "not found in scriptures." Narayana Maharaja was instead pouding the drum for his idea that you need to worship a living (homosexual pedophile) guru in order to attain God, and this was his interpretation of the holy scriptures (the Vedas). Nevermind that the Vedas say that a person has to be pure before he can be worshipped as guru. Nevermind that homosexuality is condemned in the Vedas, and even in the Bible, as extremely sinful, and so on.

Nevermind that the practical results of Narayana Maharaja's endorsing the GBC's homosexual and pedophile guru lineage was that children were being mass molested, even right in front of his face in India. Nevermind that those of us who objected to his homosexual pedophile worship project were being banned, beaten and assassinated. So no wonder then, the followers of Narayana Maharaja folks are now openly advertsing that he (NM) is their newest "current acharya" for ISKCON since he supported homosexual guru lineages in the post 1930s and post 1970s, that is their idea of purity? Narayana Maharaja has been the GBC's bucket boy helper for many years, so how did he become: the next Jesus-like acharya? Banning, beating, molesting, in the name of Jesus-like guru, nothing wrong with that, de facto says his pal Bhagavata Mj.

NM has helped the molester worship program along and now he thinks this makes him as good as God? NM was also never even a member of ISKCON. So how did he become the next leader of ISKCON? As the sincere lawyer for the homosexual pooja project, he has become the pure "sevant of Radharani"? And NM was teaching "the pastimes of Radha and the gopis" to these -- homosexual pedophile guru lineage founder fathers? And so now Narayana Maharaja, being very proud of his work of helping the GBC create their trail of molestation, murder, misrepresenting Krishna and so on, while teaching his molester and murderer guru lineage fools about Radharani all along the way, he is the greatest person in the universe? "I was Al Capone's car driver, so doesn't this not make me the next Pope, Jesus de facto successor"? Oh fer sure!

Their temple is "Common Law Temple - unregistered." Wow, big ISKCON acharya, he has no temples at all? Oddly, at the bottom of the leaflet it also says that anyone who attents their programs may be "no longer able permitted to participate in functions sponsored by ISKCON." Well, if you are the acharya of ISKCON: why are the people who will going to your ISKCON program not going to be allowed to go to ISKCON? This has a lot of people baffled? And how does this look to the public, "Hi, meet the current guru for ISKCON, but wait: going to hear him will ban you from ISKCON"? This is what they advertise to the public. Major confusion and/or what appears probably to the public to be some type of major in-fighting politics. Hence: before the public has any idea "who is Krishna" they are right away notified there are some heavy handed politics going on among the "Krishnas" which means they will stay away. Why do we want to hand out a pamphlet advertising a program which says that there are politics going on right from the get-go?

Dristadyumna prabhu (apparently he is now a supporter of the GBC's ex-shiskha guru NM) went to Los Angeles and was asked to leave by Svavasa. So this is actually good. Why do we want the biggest shastric/ legal advocate/ cheerlader of the GBC's enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexuals pedophiles guru lineage, i.e. Narayana Maharaja, on ISKCON's property? Is he not aware that his support of the worship of homosexuals and pedophiles as God's living successors has caused untold grief to ISKCON? thanks pd

2) BOTH DOORS ARE OPEN (pada)

There are ways to view evidence to support that there will be NO more gurus, but only a ritvik system, maybe till the end of Kali yuga. There are also ways to view evidence that there WILL be more gurus, and indeed that the acharyas are hopeful that "at least one person will understand their preaching," or that an already existing pure devotee will descend to our realm as "a ray of Vishnu who will appear soon (as Srila Bhaktivinode prayed Srila Saraswati would appear: and so on)." Of course the GBC likes to flaunt these types of quotes, "You will be guru when the training is complete" and so on, so we have to admit these quotes exist. Of course if they are ready to be guru now is in question.

Srila Saraswati was supposed to be a manjari assistant of Radharani by the way. Would we like to have this type of person here right now to help us, we'd say, sure why not? Yet we also have to take care not to rubber stamp conditioned souls as this level of guru, also agreed. Overall, we'd say the evidence is that the guru hopes his followers will become more pure and further their mission so on. Yet we would say that both views can be supported and it is unknown by us how this will all unfold in the future but we should be able to accomodate either possibility as Krishna's arrangement. Either view might end up being what occurs but for us to pre-judge the future is vain, since our crystal ball attempts are amatuerish at best and moreover, we are not in charge of Krishna.

So, yes both Harinama and Madhuvisa are correct and for sure they have quotes that need to be considered. There are quotes to apparently indicate that there will be an indefinate ritvik system, and there are also quotes of hopeful wishes for existing devotees on this planet to advance, and/or have an already advanced devotee appear here and in sum to descend to here. To say that either case is exclusive, and will happen for sure, is incorrect and it is a narrow understanding of the whole body of quotes.

We are saying that we have to accomodate all of these quotes and citations and allow for both doors to open, as these two potential paths of citations accomodate. To use over-emphasis on a few quotes and disregard for other quotes as the IRM for example has done, even though we may agree with some of their idea, has harmed us because our opponents attack their mis-citing and/or disregarding of things like the quotes Madhuvisa and others have forwarded.

We need to have a balanced view, that the acharya Srila Prabhupada clearly allowed for either door to open as Krishna's will. As he was dependent on Krishna's will, so we as his followers should be. Either door can open. Right now we should concentrate on uniting to get the first piece of Srila Prabhupada's order together to get his movement in some form of order. Yet we cannot allow others to use dirty tricks like the IRM has done by citing Tamal as their authority in the middle of all this. The IRM citing of Tamal supports nothing that Srila Prabhupada wanted but simply adds weight to the molester beejer guru lineage, and this is a view that is outside the ball park of anything Srila Prabhupada wanted. To sum, we can tolerate the "no guru except Srila Prabhupada ever idea," and "the next guru might possibly come soon idea," both ideas can be supported from quotes, but that Tamal should be supported as an authority, the IRM view, has no shelter anywhere.

So to sum, we should try to be more tolerant of both the Harinama and Madhuvisa views, because either view is distinctly possible for the future and both are supported by many citations from shastra. This is because Srila Prabhupada left either option open ended as Krishna's will, but we should try to combine the ideas since there is an open door option of both options, and either is going to be carried out by the will of Krishna and not us. This is why it is a little odd for me, I have always since 1980 supported that both views can be distinctly possible and that both can be supported from citations, the only difference is that I think we cannot control either option occuring and that it is a futile effort to do so. hope this helps, ys pd

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

3) BIF PART THREE/B

Part Three/B is a discrete study of the 'statement' made by Bhakticaru. Posted on the VNN website ( 'Let The Truth Prevail' 4/10/99), the statement was later enshrined in the GBC book 'Not That I am Poisoned" (NTIP) pg 121).

A gospel of guile, the 'statement' is ninety-five percent half mental. In its exploration, we find a complex persona hidden at its font. A pin-up-pundit for ambiguity. A man whom Srila Prabhupada trusted like a son. A man honoured with first second and sannyas initiations all in the space of two months. A man to whom Srila Prabhupada confided secretly in Bengali that someone had poisoned him. A man who said out loud, "Someone has poisoned him !!" (T-45, side B) but later (after a meeting out of earshot) sided with the cabal and accepted his share of the spoils. Now, like the others, he walks the walk and talks the talk of a 'guru', secure in the illusion of cult allegiance. Please find below (in red italics) the dissected 'statement' (and other declarations made by Bhakticaru) with comments/observation and polemic fact proffered after each section.

"Recently one of our god-brothers, Nityananda dasa adhikari, wrote a book called, "Someone has Poisoned Me" and alleged that the cause of Srila Prabhupada's disappearance from this planet is arsenic poisoning, and the ones who were serving His Divine Grace at that time administered him that poison."

No. Nityananda das did not allege. All allegations were made by high-profiled experts in the fields of forensic audio and hair analysis. Even so, Nityananda das maintained neutrality. Here is his opinion as expressed in his book: "Someone Has Poisoned Me." (SHPM) (Excerpts. Opening page):- "....the evidence is solid that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned, but by whom is not yet known." . He next says (same page): ".....most probably carried out by some of his "closest" disciples." The truth is; unless we believe (as Bhakticaru did in '77) the explanation of the kaviraja, "......some demon has given him poison," as if some witch flew in on a broomstick from Pixieland to do the job, there could be no other deduction. We have read H.C.Andersen and the Brothers Grimm; witches don't use poison, they live in marshmallow houses and roast their victims in chocolate ovens. Furthermore, when we follow the money trail it does not lead to the Wicked-Witch-From-The-West, it leads to Srila Prabhupada's "closest" disciples. The ones who were serving His Divine Grace at the time....... The wealthy inheritors. The GBC puppet masters.

"Since I was one of Srila Prabhupada's personal servants at that time, taking care of his food and medicines, according to that book, I am naturally a suspect."

To imply that suspicions arose according to that book, is a willful attempt to negate the evidence in hand. For the information of Bhakticaru and anyone else sheltering in this misprision, it should be categorically understood: The evidence gave genesis to the suspicions and the book (SHPM), not the other way 'round. And what the irrefutable evidence reveals, is an acceptance by Srila Prabhupada's personal servants of an attempt to poison him. Furthermore, when we discover that no endeavour was made to confirm or deny the fact, there is little alternative but to suspect a conspiracy to murder. And then again, when we sift through debris, dubiety, and gangland style takeover in the aftermath, suspicions are based cemented and solidified.

"When I first heard about this allegation I considered it to be so absurd that I did not think it deserved any response."

Bhakticaru is implying here that he first heard this absurd allegation in Nityananda prabhu's book (SHPM). Of course, we know this is untrue. The fact is, Nityananda prabhu (like Bhakticaru and the rest of us) first heard it from Srila Prabhupada (T-44, side A). However this writer could be wrong. Bhakticaru may be referring to Srila Prabhupada as absurd, when he first said, "Someone said (I have) been poisoned .....it's possible. But that wouldn't make any sense, would it? Because, Bhakticaru didn't tell Srila Prabhupada, "That's absurd, I don't think it deserves any response" Quite to the contrary, he responded with, "Who said, Srila Prabhupada?" and "Someone has poisoned him here !!" And that's the first time ever anyone heard about it.

"I could not even imagine that anyone with a rational mind would give any credence to such an allegation. However, yesterday I received a com message from Hari Sauri prabhu, one of Srila Prabhupada's personal servants and the author of "The Transcendental Diary", saying, " The (poison) issue must be dealt with directly............"

So, now Bhakticaru tells us he has been suffering from a neurological condition since ' 77. Without once again reiterating quotes from the 'Conversation Tapes" (44, 45 & 46,) we remind readers of the credence given by Bhakticaru (and all others present) to the poison allegation made by His Divine Grace. The irrationality of Bhakticaru's 180 degree pivot away from the facts is what intrigues us. Nowhere on the tapes can we hear anything but concern by Bhakticaru. Before and after the departure of His Divine Grace and throughout the years since, he has expressed anxiety about the poisoning. There are devotees who are willing to take the stand and testify to this fact. Yet, suddenly, when the heat comes down and the issue is being dealt with directly, he wants a quick exit.

And Bhakticaru's usage of Hari Sauri position as: Srila Prabhupada's personal servant to add weight to the cause, may make the gang feel like the gang looks good, but it does nothing for us. Hari Sauri wasn't even there at the time. His tenure as personal servant was terminated in March of '77, just prior to Srila Prabhupada's sudden downturn. Besides, this writer will take oath that he heard Hari Sauri give a lecture (in Melbourne '85) where he admitted that Srila Prabhupada had tested the commitment of his personal servants to the maximum, and some of his disciples were wishing he would just pass away. It was incomprehensible at the time, but makes plenty savvy now. This does not mean that Hari Sauri is guilty of a felony. Due process works of a premise that all are innocent until proven guilty. But, we must hasten to add, all are suspect until proven innocent. If the suspects suppose that the book: "Not that I am Poisoned" (NTIP) has vindicated them, they meet posterity with one foot on a banana peel and the other in infamy. NTIP is a badge of guilt, designed by conscience and forged by karma .

"......That must include direct statements from yourself (Tamal Krsna Goswami), Bhakti Caru, Bhavananda, Jayapataka et. al. When the persons that were there present their experiences collectively it makes a very powerful statement. I want to repeat, it MUST be done. Therefore, I felt somewhat compelled to write this statement."

Here we have a list of suspects corresponding with the view of many outside the ISKCON protectorate. Is it a coincidence that the others are simply et. al. while the principals are mentioned by name? We think not. If Bhavananda's (Bacis') statement was to be believed, then the et. al. could have run up to hundreds if not thousands, yet, the above listing shows only four names. Our four suspects. The others (et. al,) are simply the eulogists for these four. Before branding us defamatory, please read "Testimonies," in the GBC book "Not that I am Poisoned" (NTIP). What you will discover is that three (Jayapataka didn't post a 'statement') of the principals mentioned above, defend themselves directly against the allegations while the others (et. al.) defend them as well. If the others (et. al.) were guilty they would have defended themselves.....Right? But they don't. They defend the principals, and in so doing convey to us; that what we know is also what they believe, id est: The four principals mentioned above are the prime suspects.

"When the persons that were there present their experiences collectively it makes a very powerful statement." But why make powerful statements? Why use power at all unless to subdue and subjugate? Why not take basic steps to erase misconceptions by exposing the truth? If the whole issue is as irrational and absurd as Bhakticaru makes out, what need is there for further ado? Let's make appointments with the polygrapher and voice stress analyst. We have financially supported the cult for years, it will not hurt to go that extra yard. So we will arrange and pay for the tests. That's right, it's on us. Any go-go-guru-wallah/walli reading this offer, should immediately scamper off to the lotus feet of the Enlightened Ones and tell them about this charity offer. Thank you.

"Just in case you do not know me and wondering why Hari Sauri Prabhu is asking me to address this issue, I will give a brief introduction about myself - I am one of the last disciples of Srila Prabhupada. I met His Divine Grace in January of 1977. In March, during the Gaura-Purnima Festival, in Mayapur, he gave me first and second initiations. He personally appointed me as his secretary for Indian affairs. Once he instructed me not to get involved with any woman and offer this life completely to Krsna, and soon after that, in May, he gave me sannyas in Sridham Vrindavan. I had the good fortune to serve His Divine Grace's transcendental body until his disappearance pastime from this planet."

We know who Bhakticaru is. We also know that in the space of a few years he joined the other suspects in touting himself 'As good as God'. Like them, he has servants across the globe, takes rose water foot baths, collects donations under duress selling tickets back to Godhead, and his decadent birthday parties are all par for the 'guru' course. Scams and menial abuse are also some of the accusations being hurled in cyber space at this dubious expansion of Godhead. However, our interests lie in the ambiguity of this man. The closer we look, the more distorted semantics we see. Here are three samples from a "Disappearance Day Offering" made to Srila Prabhupada: ('Offering' in red. Our comments in blue)

"...Prabhupada did not say anything and then in a very soft voice he told me, "Didn't I teach you that the spirit soul is eternal and he never dies?" (Yes, we have also heard that Srila Prabhupada whispered to him in a very soft Bengali voice: "ke aamake visha deyeche" (Someone has given me poison) but Bhakticaru did nothing positive about either of the two whispers. He never did a thing about the poisoning, and he jumped into Srila Prabhupada's shoes at the first possible opportunity.)

"That one statement gave me a profound realization: how could the person who taught me that the spirit soul never dies ever die himself? He will always be with us, although some day he may disappear from our mundane vision" (What profound realization is Bhakticaru talking about? There's nothing in his suitcase supporting the belief Srila Prabhupada is immutable or inimitable. His activities speak so loudly we can't hear what he says. If he actually believes that Srila Prabhupada is sempiternal, he must be holding His Divine Grace prisoner in the darkness of his schizophrenic heart. From all available evidence, Bhakticaru has seized ISKCON along with other corporate 'gurus', and is systematically destroying it.)

"Nevertheless, everyday, in all the temples of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada is worshipped by everyone. Then why do we hesitate to tell a new comer who is searching for a guru that Srila Prabhupada, the best guru the world has ever seen, is still here, and one can surrender unto him and go back to Godhead very easily?" (ISKCON's worship of Srila Prabhupada amounts to one song a day; Sri guru charana padma...while the 'living gurus' rake in the royalties? Even so, we seriously believe the only reason Srila Prabhupada gets that song-a-day, is to keep the "Indian acarya" memory alive. It collects the Indian money. And, they do tell a new comer who is searching for a guru that Srila Prabhupada, the best guru the world has ever seen, is still here.....they hand out his books. It's why people go to the temple, because they read Srila Prabhupada's books. They go to the temple for his association. What happens then is a capture by order of the Temple President, who secures his "officer for life" position by steering the victim to an "ISKCON certified guru" for initiation into the sect. This maneuver locks the aspirant into "spiritual obedience mode". Under direct instructions and from fear of transgressing spiritual laws, the new initiate keeps his "guru" and temple buoyant by accepting slavery in the guise of transcendence. Or does Bhakticaru believe postulants actually come along looking to buy his bhoga? Or that of his guru confederacy? Okay. Back to the 'statement'.

"From Srila Prabhupada we learnt that a vaisnava does not defend himself."

We have already dealt with this contravention in our last report (3/A). In that report we used the IRM intercepted COM messages by Thomas Herzig (Tamal Krsna, the leader of the group) to cult members. The messages expose a propaganda network structured exclusively to mount a proxy defense. A grid, to which everyone/anyone (within the sect) with literacy and/or articulation, are being conscripted as advocates.

"Therefore, in this response to Nityananda dasa's allegation I will not try to defend myself, however I feel it is my solemn duty to defend those who are innocent, with my honest testimony."

No. Bhakticaru defends himself throughout this 'statement,' and more so towards the end. Anyway, we strongly advise Bhakticaru to arrange his own house. Or as the karmis say 'cover his own butt.' There are many questions that he needs to answer for his own exculpation. Why didn't he alert authorities to a possible homicide? Why didn't he (as the nurse) ask for a blood test? Demand, witness, and document a Death Certificate? Why was he 'nursing' a patient with acute diabetes? What are his 'nursing' qualifications? Who instructed him to do the job? Why was he picked? Why was he giving Srila Prabhupada 'mishti jaal,' (sweet water) and 'mishti doodh' (sweet milk)? Did he know that sugar is toxic to a diabetic? Who told him to do it? What were his reasons for accepting the instruction? To what purpose was the instruction carried out? From the "Conversation Tape" (T-46) we have reason to believe that sugar was plied into His Divine Grace on a regular basis. Here's why: SP: Beshi mishti hoyeche (It has become too sweet). Hoyeche= past continuos tense. This tells us; at other times it was not as sweet, but it was constant and sweet nevertheless. Furthermore, we were told by a very credible witness (a doctor on tape) that Srila Prabhupada was complaining that his 'minders' would not give him rasagolla (sweet in sugar syrup). So we know that there was an awareness of sugar as toxic. But why was it being fed to Srila Prabhupada in milk, and in water? And to the extent where His Divine Grace complained of excess?

"The author of the book is accusing Tamal Krishna Goswami as the main suspect."

Tamal Krsna is the epitome of the secretary who wanted to be boss. This is not just our opinion, but the opinion of everyone who knows him, and the history of ISKCON politics (post Prabhupada) confirms this. Here is what Srila Prabhupada had to say about him: SP: " Of all the GBC, he," indicating Tamala Krsna Maharaja (Herzig) with a tip of his head, "is the most intelligent. But the problem is, those with intelligence want to control everything. And he wants to control the whole Society." (Excerpt from : "A Transcendental Diary" by Hari Sauri dasa). Is Bhakticaru denying this? 'If ' Nityananda das is accusing Herzig as the main suspect.....he's right. And 'if ' this crime is proved positive, Bhakticaru also will be accused of ; Murder, Conspiracy to murder, Aiding and abetting, Being an accessory before and after the fact, Being party to a conspiracy to conceal the truth, and all those other charges with which prosecutors force gangland-gods to genuflect. So, the togetherness exhibited by Bhakticaru does not surprise us at all. It's a dark resin that sticks this macabre brotherhood together.

"I do not know how well Nityananda dasa knows Tamal Krsna Maharaj and how closely he associated with him, but while serving Srila Prabhupada I had the opportunity to associate with him very closely and lived with him in the same room for about seven months."

Here we have a possible out-of-earshot scenario where pressure was applied and opinions overruled. A room in which the alarming acceptance: "Someone has poisoned him here," was transformed to a pivotal: "...so absurd that I did not think it deserved any response." Also, what we have is a seven month timespan for the 'elder brother' to mentally exert, psychologically subjugate, plan, execute, justify, and brainwash his subordinate siblings with promises of a higher taste.....GURUDOM. If we believe Herzig when he says it was him and not Srila Prabhupada who wrote the July 9th Letter (appointing "Officiating Priests" not "Gurus"), then we must also believe he was in a strong position to write a "Sole Acarya Letter". History informs us he attempted a coup (post Prabhupada) but failed. The question is not whether he wanted to be the sole inheritor, he did. So, why didn't he write a "Sole Acarya Letter" with him as the Chosen One? There can be only three answers to this question: 1) The July 9th letter was in fact a Srila Prabhupada dictate and not Herzig's invention as claimed by him. 2) Srila Prabhupada's poisoning was a cabal engendered endeavour contracting equal portions of the 'guru' pie. A done deal. Or 3) Both. The first instigating the second.

"During those days I saw what a deep love and respect he had for Srila Prabhupada, and I also saw what a deep confidence His Divine Grace had in him."

We are not concerned with Herzig's love, but Bhakticaru's love and respect for Herzig. After all, Srila Prabhupada did tell these guys about the poisoning (Prabhupada disclosed his thoughts that someone had poisoned him") (TKG's Diary, page 340), Bhakticaru also admits it on tape. Herzig was the leader of the mob, he made no attempt to do anything about it. Yet, Bhakticaru defends him.....Why? Was Srila Prabhupada senile? Was he hallucinating? Seeing bogey-men? We would like to know what these 'disciples' were thinking at the time? Our own listening to the 'Conversation Tapes,' reveals an extremely sharp acarya speaking in three languages, dealing with everyone from a platform of transcendence and wit. Why did his whispering disciples refuse to act on his complaint? Who decided that nothing should be done? Was there a meeting? (If not why not?) Who called the meeting (or decided against it)? Where was the meeting held? Who attended? What was said and by who? Was there a vote? How many in favour? How many against? Why did Bhakticaru agree? Or was there really no consensus at all? Did everyone simply go along with the hierarchy which certified them gods later?

"Tamal Krsna Maharaj has a very heavy side but one should not judge him only from that point of view. He has a very soft side as well. Anyone who knows him knows well how aggressive and demanding he can be and to live with him for seven months was not always easy for me, to say the least."

How heavy is very heavy? Heavy enough to kill? Without having to judge him at all, this description of a transcendental goswami's mood swings are alarming. Bhakticaru tells us Herzig is very heavy, aggressive, demanding and not easy to live with. Sounds like Herzig rides a pendulum across the emotional spectrum. Is he neurotic? Psychotic? A cult chameleon, camouflaged by crisis and corporate considerations? Did he in fact willfully deface a directive and destroy by division the sanctity of ISKCON? Is he a link to the disclipic succession or the missing link? Or is he linked to Charley Peace, Martin Bryant, Ted Bundy, Peter Kurten, John Ball, etc., etc. All these not so gentle men, had soft sides with bouts of very heavy aggression and demands.

"Yet I will honestly admit that I have seen his other side also and I have many sweet memories of my days with him. I have received elder brotherly affection and care from him that created a deep bond between us."

Here Bhakticaru tells us he will honestly admit to having seen his (Herzig's) other side also. Is he honestly telling us he honestly admits to seeing one side, but dishonestly admits to seeing the other? However we read this declaration, it would appear that Herzig's side that gives Bhakticaru sweet memories are rare, or at least on par with the side that doesn't. And Bhakticaru cannot honestly admit it. This inadvertent revelation of Herzig's Jeckyll-and-Hyde extremities by a fellow suspect is noteworthy indeed. Furthermore, Bhakticaru specifically states his reasons for the deep bond as: elder brotherly affection. Everyone (well almost) with an elder brother can understand the ascendancy, superiority, sway and supremacy involved. And this is natural amongst biological siblings, what to speak of brotherhood in an hierarchical cult. When we put it in the framework of inheritance triggered parricide............Big brother certainly knows best.

"Although from time to time we experienced our differences yet our relationship remained intact. I decided to mention about this perception of mine because I have seen many a times some devotees carry an inaccurate image of other devotees that obscure their perception."

For those who are unfamiliar with cult arrogance, here is a small dose. Bhakticaru offers his perception of Herzig as summum bonum, while pointing out the inaccurate images carried by others as obscured perceptions. Psychiatry is just one more attribute of this fully cognizant ISKCON-certified-god. Does he know, Kurten butchered people in the day and led vigilante processions at night in search of the murderer? And not once did his wife or children suspect him of being The Mass Murderer of Dusseldorf. Anyway, to this point in Bhakticaru's 'statement', there is no mention of why nothing was done about Srila Prabhupada's complaint. Why were they whispering about poison around Prabhupada's deathbed? Why did Srila Prabhupada have 2,600 ppb of arsenic in his hair? Why was Bhakticaru nursing an acute diabetic without any training? Who told him to? Why was he poisoning an elderly diabetic with sugar? Why were Srila Prabhupada's complaints buried in secrecy? Why weren't the authorities notified? Or other disciples? Bhakticaru, the certified ISKCON guru/god must now worry about his own obscured perceptions and inaccurate images of others.

"It is quite interesting to note that although Nityananda dasa wrote one whole book based on some whispers and an incorrect and dubious analysis of some hairs, was nowhere near Srila Prabhupada in those days in Vrindavan. If he was then he would have seen how absurd his suspicion and accusition is." (He does make mistakes).

At least, we can be sure Nityananda das did not kill Srila Prabhupada, or profit by his death. And, unless Bhakticaru & Co: are exposed by ISKCON to due process, we are naturally inclined to believe they did. Also, Bhakticaru's attempt to minimize Nityananda das' book simply demonstrates further the 'criminal defense mode' adopted by the suspects in this case. Nityananda das reported forensic evidence (with attached appendixes) as detailed by recognized experts in the field (unlike Bhakticaru's shady nursing capabilities). The forensic reports have been further corroborated by more recent and intense forensic analysis. Now there are three cutting-edge audio forensic scientist' with their thumbs up. Further forensic work on hair clippings are also being done. Although the first tests proved positive and irrevocable, more expert opinion adds weight to the ball-and-chain. Bhakticaru's deduction that Nityananda's book is based on some whispers and an incorrect and dubious analysis of some hairs, has been borrowed from NTIP. All of the 'experts' produced by this book (NTIP) to refute the evidence, have started back-pedaling. Visions of confronting recognized experts across a courtroom is certainly taking its toll. And really, who wants to punch above his weight? As we warned earlier; anyone dependent on this book (NTIP) for vindication, meets fate with one foot on a banana peel and the other in infamy. And now, adding slip to slime, a new book containing updated evidence is under compilation. Happy sliding Mr. 'Caru.

"If he was present then he would have seen, what to speak of poisoning Srila Prabhupada, the devotees around Srila Prabhupada were praying to Krsna to let Srila Prabhupada stay on this planet in exchange of their lives."

Yes. There was a great deal of praying going on. Even Srila Prabhupada noticed this. Here are his thoughts on the matter: SP: "You are all here praying for me to live and 'they' are in the next room praying for me to die" (unattested). Bhakticaru's prayers should have been for a qualified nurse who would 1) Not have been subjected to the influence of an elder brother 2) Administered medication from a locked cabinet 3) Known enough about diabetes to not feed the patient sugar. 4) Asked for an immediate blood-test and formal inquiry into the poison allegations made by Srila Prabhupada. 5) Lodged a Death Certificate.

Let's leave aside exchange of their lives or other such extreme measures, there is no need for GBC theatrics. We are quite content at this stage for Bhakticaru, Herzig, Bacis and Jayapataka to do polygraph tests, voice stress tests, answer questions/make attested statements. There is no reason to offer Krsna an exchange of life. Unless one's life is clean He does not accept. And He didn't.

"It is extremely unfortunate that Nityananda dasa is so obsessed with some whispers, but he is not listening to the exchanges that are so loud and clear. If he was present there then he would have seen that just a couple of days before Srila Prabhupada left this planet he wa told his very intimate god-brother, Srila Krsnadasa Babaji Maharaj, with tears rolling down from his eyes, "See, how much they love me!" ( wa. He does make mistakes)

What Bhakticaru is trying to accomplish with this quote, is to erase all other relevant documented evidence by highlighting Srila Prabhupada's drooling appreciation for his (non-toxic) nurses. The argument he offers is: If Srila Prabhupada suspected us, why would he say, "See how much they love me!" This is the same logic that instructs a simpleton to kill with poison and then blame it on the Pixies. What Srila Prabhupada said was: "......Someone has given poison." (T-44/A) "....Someone had poisoned him." (TKG's Diary, pg: 340)). He never said, "....They have poisoned me." It is us (investigating) with facts and hindsight, who see it as a cabal at work. For Srila Prabhupada to say "..they love me" doesn't mean, "Someone didn't poison me." The fact that Bhakticaru accepts the plural as guilty, further affirms our belief in the conspiracy theory. Here's the quote under attention and in context (T-46/B). Bengali to English translation by this author, with comments (in brackets):

Tamala Krsna: Actually, Srila Prabhupada, we're so much attached to you that you practically drive us to madness sometimes. Tonight we were becoming mad. (Here Herzig admits to the psychosis intimated by Bhakticaru earlier)

SP: No, no, I shall not do that. (Well, who wants to antagonize a madman?)

(This next line of endearment is the one Bhakticaru hopes will detoxify the accusations. It is important to note how quickly he accepts 'they' in this quote to be himself and his partners, but how he pretends the 'these friends' quote (T-44/A) made by Srila Prabhupada earlier (in which he identifies them as being the 'poison whisperers') has nothing to do with him or his mates. These 'loving disciples' treated Srila Prabhupada as if he was having a close encounter of the third kind. Or a tete-a-tete with those poisonous Pixies. And they still will not explain what was going on. Instead, we have these irrelevant 'statements'.)

SP: (Bengali) Babaji Maharaja, dekhchen to era kirom bhabe, bhalobashe.

Trans: Babaji Maharaja, do you see how they love (me)?

Krsna Das Babaji: Dekhchi to, shabi adbhut Maharaja..... Eder theeke onek kichu shikbar aache Maharaja.

Trans: I do observe. It's amazing Maharaja. There is much good to learn from them Maharaja. (More bad than good if the current ISKCON situation is any indication)

SP: Aar eyi Bhavananda, recently ki safai koreche akebare.

Trans: And this Bhavananda, has done so much cleaning recently. (Here is the cause for Srila Prabhupada's sentiment, not Bhakticaru or the half-mad-Herzig. It was Bhavananda (Bacis) who needed all the mercy he could get......and the medication he didn't)

KDB: Bhagaban dekhben.

Trans: God will watchover.

SP: Aakhere ghushkhora.....

Trans: In the end it is........

SP: Loke gaye thuk thuk diyeche.

Trans: People have spat on his body.

Why did people spit on Bacis back then? Why do they spit at the thought of him now? A regular spittoon that's our Bacis. Nevertheless, the quote and the context in which it was made has been presented in its entirety. We leave it to our readers to decide whether such an endearment would have stopped the malignancy or reversed the effect of poison, or cancel out documented forensic evidence, witness statements, and declarations made by His Divine Grace.

"If he (Nityananda das) was attending Srila Prabhupada in the early hours in Vrindavan, he would have heard Srila Prabhupada as soon as his Divine Grace woke up, "Where is Tamal? Ask him to come to me." And then he would have seen a very sweet loving exchange between them. Srila Prabhupada talking to him about the affairs of the movement, his various concerns about the future of this movement and what should be done to protect this movement."

And where was the loving exchange when it was most necessary? When Srila Prabhupada "........ disclosed his thoughts that someone had poisoned him." (TKG's Diary, page 340). Why didn't Herzig (TKG) show some sweet love then? Why didn't Bhakticaru show any sweet love when he was told and hollered out: "Someone gave him poison here" ? ( T-45, side B). It is not that His Divine Grace was senile or hallucinatory (as audio tapes will verify,) his mind was sharper than any of the eager beavers present. Yet, his loving disciples chose to treat him as non compos mentis. It is also interesting to hear Bhakticaru mention Srila Prabhupada's concerns to protect this movement. It appears that the protection Srila Prabhupada wanted has been misinterpreted as protection racket. Members of the sect have been victimized, ostracized and demonized for speaking out against the gangland style takeover of assets and psychologically imposed slavery. For a more authoritative report on the protection racket fiasco, let us refer to Bhakticaru's 'Disappearance Day Offering." Being a member of the ISKCON citadel, he has a bird's-eye-view of the disappearing gravy train.

Ksna.org (20/11/'01) Bhakticaru: "However, today we see how miserably we failed to fulfill that instruction. Srila Prabhupada's greatest asset was his devotees, and that asset we started to lose first. Now we are about to lose everything else that His Divine Grace gave us to maintain.I do not want to blame anyone for all the mistakes that were made, but we must nonetheless recognize them and learn our lesson from them. Therefore, with all sincerity, I say that we are losing everything because we had been thinking that Srila Prabhupada is now dead and gone, and we started to claim our shares of our inheritance." ( There is good reason to feel this way. The Turley case for child abuse is soon to resurface. Turley says the claim is still Four Hundred million dollars. Protect that !! ). Back to the 'statement'.

"If Nityananda dasa was present there then he would have also seen that there were hundreds of devotees whose hearts were so full with their love for Srila Prabhupada that they were prepared to do anything for him. There were personalities like Gurukripa, who used to attend Srila Prabhupda everyday from 12 midnight to 2 in the morning. If Srila Prabhupada really suspected that someone had poisoned him, then all he had to do is just tell Gurukripa. Anyone who knows Gurukripa knows what would have happened then."

What to speak of hundreds of devotees, there could have been millions of devotees. For the very fact that they were never told of Srila Prabhupada's complaint, no one was ever the wiser. As it is, twenty years later (and by sheer accident) we heard about it. Immediately after, Herzig, knowing the fat was in the fire, released his 'diary' in a bid to normalize the monstrosity. And as for Gurukripa not being told by Srila Prabhupada; we don't hear his voice anywhere in the "poison conversations." So, our query is not "Why didn't Srila Prabhupada tell him about the poisoning?" His Divine Grace was bedridden, he could not go searching for Gurukripa. Our query is to the cabal: "Why didn't you godbrothers tell him about it? You were not bedridden." The fact that Gurukripa Prabhu hasn't mentioned a word about it in twenty four years, suggests the cabal shut him out. And everyone else as well.

And it is not only Gurukripa, Srila Prabhupada had to just tell any one of the few hundred devotees that were there, and one can only imagine what the reaction would have been like.

But he did. He told Bhakticaru, Herzig, the kaviraja, Bacis and Jayapataka. There was not even a knee-jerk-reaction to the plaint. For the benefit of Bhakticaru who appears to be suffering from a memory lapse ; Between Nov: 8th and 14th (Audio Tapes T-44, 45 & 46) visitors were few and monitored. If Bhakticaru is trying to suggest (as Bacis did) that hundred of devotees had access to Prabhupada, he's lying. Yadubara's film (The Final Lesson) although showing a number of devotees present at Srila Prabhupada's deathbed, does not say that they gate-crashed only in the last and final stage of departure, when the kirtan had reached a crescendo. Besides, what was the need of the Founder to disrupt (or more) a fledgling ISKCON, for a dastardly deed already done. Where is the sense in that? But now, twenty four years later, when the philosophy has outgrown the institution, it has mysteriously resurrected accompanied by evidence apparitions and instructions to purge.

Those who are suspecting that Srila Prabhupada has been poisoned by some of his disciples, I will request them to go deep within their hearts and ask whether it is at all possible for a vaisnava, who does not even kill an ant, to murder his spiritual master.

And which vaisnava is that?

One evening I was with Tamal Krishna Maharaj in our room in Vrindavan. A mosquito was sucking his blood sitting on his leg. It had become quite bloated with the blood that it sucked from his body. A sudden pain from the bite made Tamal Krishna Maharaj aware of that mosquito. His hand rose in a natural reflex to strike that little creature, but stopped all of a sudden, then it came down slowly and flicked the mosquito away from his leg. The person who would not even kill the mosquito that was sucking his blood, how can anyone think that he gave poison to his spiritual master.

If this is the best defense Bhakticaru can offer, it's going to take gallons of 'sweet milk' to get rid of this investigation. Here's an excerpt taken from a BIF (Bhaktivedanta Investigation Force) posting on PADA:

According to him: if Tamala couldn't even kill a mosquito he was incapable of poisoning his spiritual master. So if we accept this logic, then Tamala could possibly have poisoned Srila Prabhupada if he was a mosquito killer. Okay. A BIF operative, had no idea how an after-prasadam discussion (taped), would have any bearing on this story. But it did. Here it is:

Induleikha Mataji (IM) : It was in ' 95 at Mayapura. I was having some problems with him (her husband) and needed to talk to TKG to help me with some direction. I remember it was Mayapura because there was no brahmacarini asram and I was having difficulty finding a place to stay. So I went up to see him.

BIF: Where exactly did Tamala meet with you?

IM: It was upstairs in one of those rooms in the conch building.

BIF: Who else was there? Where were you in proximity to Tamala? And where was he?

IM: I don't remember who else was there, but I remember sitting on the floor. Tamala was sitting up on a bed looking down.

BIF: Okay. So what happened next?

IM: A mosquito was trying to bite me. It sat on my face and I drove it off. Soon it was back again, this time it landed on my arm. I shooed it off again. Then I heard TKG say, "Kill it." I looked up. He was looking straight at me. "Kill it," he repeated. His eyes were intense (she demonstrated by fixing her eyes without blinking).

BIF: What did you do?

IM: I was scared. The mosquito had gone. I remember feeling some relief. But then it was back again and TKG was saying again, "Kill it !... I said kill it !"

BIF: Why didn't you just kill it?

IM: I didn't want to. Besides, I would have blood all over my hands. So I said to him, "No I won't."

BIF: Wow! And then what?

IM: He just glowered at me, then got up and walked straight out the room without saying another word.

So much for Tamala's soft heart. He wanted the mosquito dead, and when it wasn't killed he rejected the pleas of a woman who needed his help and guidance.

(Name withheld) (quote) "Tamala is a very cruel man. He is capable of the most heinous atrocities" (unquote). So Bhakticaru can take his eulogies of Tamala and stick it where the monkey stuck his last nut. We are not impressed. (End of excerpt). Back to the 'statement'.

"Srila Prabhupada went to Vrindavan in May from Hrisikesa to leave his body. Everyone present there was aware of that. The conspiracy to eliminate him was not the reality rather the reality was intense prayer to Krsna not to let Srila Prabhupada go away from their midst."

Many great personalities have predicted their own demise. This is not an excuse for murder. It is a firm belief by those involved with this investigation, that His Divine Grace (seeing his demise at hand) gave clearly defined dictates (just as his precepts are clearly defined in his writings) for the ongoing function of his ISKCON Society. His Will, The July 9th Letter and relative audio tape recordings, lend heavily to this theory. It is also our firm belief that his dictates were proving incompatible with the calculations of his expectant 'inheritors'. ( ".. ....we had been thinking that Srila Prabhupada is now dead and gone, and we started to claim our shares of our inheritance. Excerpt. Bhakticaru's 'Offering....'). It is quite realistic under the circumstances (corroborated by forensic evidence and related facts) to suspect a decision by clandestine caucus, to prematurely dispose of His Divine Grace. To urgently do away with senility threatening tradition. And to simultaneously fulfill the suicidal desires (according to Herzig's taped conversation dated 11/77) of a suffering old man.

"I personally learnt a wonderful lesson from this allegation. I must have developed some pride due to my good fortune in serving SrilaPrabhupada those days. Now Krsna, the destroyer of pride, is mercifully taking care of that. While I, due to my false ego, was feeling proud that I served Krsna's pure devotee, the world is seeing me as the one who gave him poison. It is indeed Krsna's causeless mercy."

Bhakticaru should reserve his final analysis for later. Sri Krsna's destruction of pride has not yet begun. His devotees (Srila Prabhupada's disciples and followers) have been crying out to Him for many years now. This is merely the calm before the storm. The world seeing me as the one who gave him poison isn't half as bad as the law prosecuting me as an accomplice to murder.

"I used to feel very impressed by one statement of Srila Prabodhananda Saraswati, a very intimate associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the uncle of Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami, "If the whole world glorifies me but Krsna does not recognize me then what is the use of that glorification. If the whole world spits at me but Krsna recognizes me then who cares about that spitting."

Srila Prabodhananda Saraswati is indeed an intimate associate of Chaitanya Deva. He is also often quoted by His Divine Grace. For Bhakticaru to expect the same recognition by Krsna, is presumptuous to say the least. After all, his only claim to fame (and he never ceases to remind us) is his short 'nursing' stint. And even that hangs under an arsenic cloud. His certified guruship earns no recognition from any other than ISKCON's internal revenue. And his spiritual timidity is enunciated by his gurus inc. membership, which is also an argy-bargy protectorate for gross spiritual incompetence. He is not even a guru in the traditional sense of the word. If he was, he'd open his own matha, write and propound his own precepts, make his own disciples and depend singularly and totally on Krsna, not hang around clinging to his ISKCON-guru-breadbox in spite of the flying saliva. What right does he have, expecting personal recognition from the Surpreme Personality of Godhead?

"Very mercifully Krsna is giving me the opportunity to apply this wonderful instruction in my own life. This allegation is making me aware about the futility of mundane adoration and importance of Krsna's recognition. No matter what the world thinks, Krsna knows everything. Therefore what is the use of worrying about my image in this world? After all, sitting in my heart Krsna knows about all that I think and do. The conditioned souls of this material world may make mistakes in their judgment, but Krsna will never make any mistake. I have taken shelter of Him and surrendered myself unto Him, now let Him decide what I deserve."

Proud to be humble. Here is a man who speaks of The conditioned souls of this material world making mistakes. Is Bhakticaru referring to everyone else? Or is he calling himself a conditioned soul as well? We believe the former to be the case. Because, he goes on to say, I have taken shelter of Him (Krsna). This means, he has reached the Surpreme Goal. The same shelter being quested by sages and transcendentalists for eons of time. Therefore we must accede, he is beyond making mistakes. A pure devotee. And he got there on an ISKCON-issued-guru-passport. Is he a sakha or are we suckers? Bhakticaru's desire for grandiose role playing is in keeping with sect phenomena. Frankly, we don't care if he thinks he sits on the right hand of God. Our concerns are for his starring role in '77, in which he played a disciple who played an unqualified nurse who may have been homicidal.

To this world I will declare clear and loudly, "IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY ABSURD ALLEGATION THAT SRILA PRABHUPADA HAS BEEN POISONED BY HIS DISCIPLES. IF ANYONE INTENTIONALLY POISONED SRILA PRABHUPADA, THEN IT MUST BE ME BECAUSE THOSE DAYS I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO USED TO GIVE PRASAD AND MEDICINE TO HIS DIVINE GRACE. WHATEVER HE ATE AND DRANK WENT THROUGH MY HAND."

With permission from BIF (and our readers,) we will use an excerpt from their Report 5/1, posted on PADA some months ago:

Please note: Bhakticaru believes it is an absolutely absurd allegation that Srila Prabhupada has been poisoned by his disciples. There is no need for any reverse speech analysis here. What he's saying is; it would not be absurd to believe that Srila Prabhupada could have been poisoned by someone other than his disciples. In fact, he doesn't argue against the poisoning at all. Then he says (quote) "If anyone intentionally poisoned Srila Prabhupada then it must be me....."( unquote). So we must assume; since he is not disputing the fact that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned, and if it was not "intentionally" done by him, then it must have been done "accidentally" by someone else. A disassociated demon on a busman's holiday perhaps?? Here it is: Kaviraja: (quote) "Listen, this is the understanding that some raksasa (wicked Pixie/Warlock) may have given (poison)......Caru swami ( Bhakticaru says "yes" ).....some raksasa has given (poison). This can happen. It's not impossible (unquote). Is this sanity? Can you imagine what a jury would think? Who allowed this man near Srila Prabhupada? But most importantly: Why didn't this "absurd" and "irrational" deduction cause any anxiety or need for clarification from Bhakticaru, Tamala, Jayapataka or Bhavananda? They were all there. How is it that a suggestion so far-fetched didn't so much as raise a coo-ee from these cowboys? WHY?? Can we see the coven if not the covenant? The mob if not the hit? The poisoners if not the poison? (end of excerpt). Back to the 'statement'.

"Let the omniscient, omnipotent Supreme Personality of Godhead judge me. If I committed such a heinous crime towards the most dear devotee of the Lord, to whom I owe everything, including my very existence, then let me suffer eternally in the darkest region of the hell."

No! According to the Vedas and in keeping with secular law, murder suspects should be tried and sentenced in this world. By Vedic injunction, this absolves the crime and avoids severe complications in the next world. If the suspects perchance, succeed in sheltering behind the ISKCON protectorate without being subjected to due process; investigators will leave enough documented forensic evidence and personal testimonials (for posterity) to have their remains removed to a potter's field.

"If any of Srila Prabhupada's disciples, whose heart is steeped with his love for Srila Prabhupada, wants to take the law in his hand and judge me, I will welcome that also. I give him full freedom to judge and do whatever he wants to do with me. I can assure him that I will accept that judgment without any protest."

ISKCON is not an enclave, subject to its own constitutional laws. This false understanding that gives shelter to felons, and expels members who have sacrificed years of labour, money, skills, and inheritance, by judging them without proper notification representation or precedence, is bigotry. And above all else, countermands the laws of God and State. We are not interested in Bhakticaru's invitation to judge him. Rather, the suspects should make public their willingness to submit to polygraph and voice stress analysis, and to making attested statements. When they are prepared to do this, we will make arrangements to bring this matter to a close.

If someone wants to take me to the mundane court also, he can do so. There also I will give the same testimony, "IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY ABSURD ALLEGATION THAT Srila PRABHUPADA HAS BEEN POISONED BY HIS DISCIPLES. IF ANYONE INTENTIONALLY POISONED Srila PRABHUPADA, THEN IT MUST BE ME BECAUSE THOSE DAYS I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO USED TO GIVE PRASAD AND MEDICINE TO HIS DIVINE GRACE. WHATEVER HE ATE AND DRANK WENT THROUGH MY HAND."

Waiting to receive your judgment and aspiring to remain a servant of the vaisnavas,

It is the jurisdiction of the court to make judgments. This is not our field of activity or ISKCON's. We will accept whatever the polygraph , voice tests, and professional investigators recommend. If the tests prove negative, we are ready to accept and publicly state the fact. However, if suspects believe that we are simply dogs barking at the passing ISKCON caravan ...... they'd believe anything.

Bhakti Caru Swami.

Yeah....anything..
