PADA'S MOST WANTED LIST: Keep us apprised of the whereabouts of Jayapataka, Tamal, Hridayananda and other GBC, thanks.

EXCERPT FROM B-I-F.org ...I was standing to his right side. He turned to me and said, "This is poisoning. The first layer is blood, second is bone and third is marrow." He said to me, "This is slow poison. After giving this poison, the man will die slowly.....no one can judge what is happening." This thing Bonamali explained to me then and there. And he told them also (the two devotees who had brought the sample), "I think it is poison."

Name withheld (quote)" WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE MEDICINES WERE HAVING NO EFFECT , THE THREE KAVIRAJAS WHO HAD WORKED ON SWAMIJI (SRILA PRABHUPADA) MET TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. IT WAS CONCLUDED AT THE MEETING THAT THE SWAMI'S BODY HAD BEEN POISONED AND THAT THE MEDICINES WERE PROVING INEFFECTUAL BECAUSE OF IT. IT WAS FURTHER DECIDED TO MAKE A FORMULA THAT WOULD FIRSTLY DEAL WITH THE POISON, AND HAVING SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED IT, THE SWAMI COULD THEN BE TREATED FOR HIS AILMENT. DURING THE PROCESS OF SECURING THE HERBS FOR THE TASK; SWAMIJI LEFT HIS BODY." (unquote)

PADA EDITOR'S CORNER
Krishna Chaitanya Jacobs (son of ISKCON's guru "Bir Krishna swami" aka Bruce Jacobs) writes below that since many ISKCON properties are nearly empty anyway, what is the big deal if they are lost in a lawsuit? This echos what many people seem to be feeling these days, that the temples are simply empty places where the GBC has started a Sunday "showing of the deity" business to collect funds from the naive hindu class. Srila Prabhupada also commented sardonically how the Christian churches were simply big empty buildings with no preaching life. Then the GBC said, wow, let us also make some hokey popes, start our own inqusition, empty the buildings, and be medieval history part two. But then they said, "wait, why not add homosexual pedophile gurus to the mix? We don't want to be simply part two, we want to be far worse than part one was." How yummy.

Lokanatha swami also wrote many years ago about this same problem in his annual Vyasa puja prayer (around 1988?): that the temples are empty vacant shells, that they are running on skeleton crews, and so, where are the devotees? That we all know, the devotees have been banned and exiled by the GBC. So this trend and tendency has been noted for quite awhile and it seems odd that the GBC thinks the ex-gurukulis will not notice this phenomena. Thus, since the devotees are not being welcomed back, and the enforced exile trend is continued, who cares? That is a mood that is being spawned by the GBC itself and is being noted everywhere, they are, as Krishna Jacobs says, simply greedy.

Another thing that we also noted in our past newsletters is that there seems to be no human faced infrastructure connected to the big buildings either. For example, when mother Tribuvanesvari dasi was laying in a hospital bed dying of cancer, we came to visit her two days before her final departure from her body. Yet it was just a few of us independent devotees, a few of her old friends, and no representatives of big corporate ISKCON came, or apparently took notice, or cared, or helped and so on. This is most unusual? When a member of any other religion is laying on a bed dying in a hospital, their Church always sends over the local priests, various Church elders, and indeed there is often a regular committee formed by the Church to handle exactly such events, as the departure of a member of the religion. There are thus regular prayers offered in shifts by the committee members, photos and flowers are given, condolences are offered, there are grief counselors, there are supportive people asking if the family or its children need practical special care, there are financial assistance programs, and so on. Yet for our ISKCON members, it seems some of the GBC are too busy body building and lifting weights in a spa to take time out to help the citizens? And even today, we know of yet another dear devotee lady who has a serious life threatening disease, indeed she just went to the hospital for an organ failure, and yet no one from the big corporate ISKCON knows or cares?

And then we have yet another complaint from the big corporate types that the ex-children are "greedy for money." Well wait a moment? Many of them never received a proper education or vocational training. Some of them still cannot read and write properly. Many of them have special problems from abuse that makes it difficut for them to focus and learn in any case? As was pointed out to us recently, even in the USA prison system they give the felony prisoners there -- free -- vocational training and off campus college participation. For free. So why is this type of thing such an undue request? Many of the ex-children simply asked for a few paisa for their education or training and got nothing. Some of them simply wanted a few thousand dollars to buy an old pick up truck to start a lawn care business. Yet while there is plenty of money in the GBC's financial pot to serve guys like Satsvarupa for his Howard Johnson motel bills, unlimited money for him to travel around and talk to doctors and psychics and astrologers and shamans and hokey medical practicioners and/or whomever he is visiting, and do not forget his pills and treatments, and who knows what else he is doing while dressed as a karmi in various cities, there are no funds for the children? To sum, feeding Howard Johnson's Motel is the highest priority, not the children? No wonder they are angry. No kidding Sherlock.... ys pada

--------------------------------------

The IRM snafu still goes on.
Yaduraja dasa acting as an IRM spokesman STILL insists that the July 9th 1977 letter from Srila Prabhupada refers to more or future "pure devotees." Tamal is still a pure devotee then by their calculation? Yet the words "pure devotees" are not found in that letter, despite that Yaduraja claims he has a "direct quote" stating same? Yet, when we asked Yaduraja where his "direct quote" is, that the letter refers to pure devotees and not proxy GBCs, he then said that the answer is: pada simply wants to be the next Prabhupada and sit in his seat? Yes in fact we admit, just now we were polishing our new vyasasana with a sign which reads, "sum total of the demigods sits here," except that some people were wondering why we were polishing the front seat to our 1978 Ford Pinto? And in any case, this was his "direct quote" rebuttal. Yet this has nothing to do with the July 9th letter or the IRM statement that it applies (not to proxies but) other, more or future pure devotees?

Then Yaduraja said that our idea that pure devotees are not merely GBC is "abandoning the GBC system." What? Again, this is not what we said. Straw man argument. Then Yaduraja said that the reason the July 9th letter refers to pure devotees is that Srila Prabhupada never countermanded that it does not refer to pure devotees -- like Tamal? Well, since Srila Prabhupada never said it applied to pure devotees in the first place, how could he countermand that now, it does not? This would be like saying that pada has to countermand our stating that the moon is made of green cheese, when, we never said that statement in the first place?

Worse, when we asked the IRM to clarify their statements, that the letter refers to pure devotees, they said that since the letter refers to other or future pure devotees (Tamal a pure devotee?) then a future Haridasa thakura will also have to wear the same hat as Tamal, and a future Haridasa thakura will have to be only given the limited nomenclature of GBC and ritvik, all because the July 9th letter says so. Again, the name "Haridsasa thakura" is not found in the letter either? So after these exhanges, here is what they said next:

2) that there is no order issued by Srila Prabhupada that countermands the July 9th directive. Even though Puranjana initially objected to this point, he now says: "Indeed there is no way a statement can be countermanded when it was never made?"

[PADA: You said that the July 9th letter refers to other or future pure devotees, however it does not. Therefore that Srila Prabhupada was being demanded by you to fix a statement he never made was what we objected to. He never said the July 9th letter was a letter describing other or future pure devotees, as you are still saying up till now as you do below.]

YD: Although Puranjana is clearly muddled on what we are saying (we are only talking about the system Srila Prabhupada established for his followers, however pure or impure they may be)

[PADA: Well now you just contradicted yourself, you are saying that the future pure devotees will not have to be followers of the July 9th letter since it applies to limited folks like Tamal, then, in the same breath, you are also saying they have to follow the system of being GBC ritviks because the July 9th order is for both the pure and impure? And worse, you are demanding that Srila Prabhupada "countermand" his July 9th statements that this order is for other pure devotees, like Tamal? Well Tamal is not a pure devotee, so why are you still saying a pure devotee will have to follow the order to be another limited GBC, or a person like Tamal?]

YD: he does seem now to concede that Srila Prabhupada never issued any sort of order to the effect that the ritvik system would terminate on the day one of his disciples becomes 'pure'.

[PADA: Once again, you are implying that a pure devotee has to follow the system of being a GBC. The letter does not say it applies to pure devotees. Srila Prabhupada simply never said that pure devotees have to follow the system of being a GBC and have the same post as Tamal.]

YD: So before we move on to point 3, can Puranjana prabhu just confirm, with a simple yes or no, whether he now accepts my point 2 above. Please just yes or no. Thanks ys Yaduraja das (what's the betting we get another long muddled speach?)

[PADA: Yes, you are still saying that either Tamal is equal to Haridasa thakura, or that Haridasa thakura is equal to Tamal, because both of them would be viewed in any case as GBC ritviks for 9,500 years.]

1) PRINCE POISONED

A young Thai princess (Luk Pla) was recently convicted of poisoning and killing her husband, prince Thitiphan Yugala. With insecticide. The deceased prince was a cousin to King Bhumibol Aduyadej of Thailand. Seems the nasty little princess wanted to run off with her young lover, a chestnut peddlar, named Uthet Choopwa. And there are those who say that poison is not used nowadays. It is. (from San Francisco Chronicle Feb 20, 2002 p.A2)

----------------------------

2) POISON QUEEN

This news story was first published in the March 2000 edition of the print newsletter, 'The Royal Report.'

QUEEN’S COOK SACKED FOR ‘POISON THREAT’

"The dismissal of a trainee Royal cook – alleged to have made extraordinary remarks about the ease of poisoning the Queen of England’s food – has renewed fears about the Royal Family’s vulnerability to security threats. A PORTER in the Royal kitchens at Sandringham, who was involved in preparing meals for the Queen, has been dismissed after allegedly discussing the ease with which she could have laced the meals with cyanide. Police were called after Monica Traub, a 46-year-old sous-chef who was still under probation, allegedly told fellow staff that she had the ideal opportunity to put poison into the Queen’s food. It was also claimed that she asked a fellow member of staff where she could obtain cyanide.

As a result, Miss Traub was led from the Sandringham estate – where the Queen was in residence – and put onto a train to London after an interview with a police officer and a senior member of the Royal Household. Palace sources confirm that Miss Traub had supplied references that were found acceptable, and was given work last December at Buckingham Palace and Sandringham. In his letter to Miss Traub, written on February 10, Andrew F Farquharson, assistant to the Master of the Household at Buckingham Palace, confirmed that her employment had ceased on February 4. "The reason for this termination," he wrote, "is that you were alleged to have stated that you would have the opportunity TO PLACE POISON IN THE QUEEN'S FOOD AND THAT YOU COULD DO THIS WITHOUT BEING DISCOVERED. (My caps)

This action is regarded as an act of gross misconduct and as you are still within your probation period I am able to dismiss you without notice." Mr Farquharson’s letter informed Miss Traub that her suitcase had been found abandoned, and that she could claim it at Savile Row police station in London. He added that she could collect her belongings from the Royal apartment that she occupied in Marlborough House Mews, London, by giving 24 hours’ notice. Miss Traub said that SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE SHE HAD BEEN DISMISSED, AND THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT CYANIDE LOOKS LIKE. (My caps; now where have we heard innocent statements like this before? Eh BCM?)

She told a national newspaper: "I do remember having a conversation with a cook about how easy it would be to interfere with food for the Royal table. I can’t believe I have been sacked for that. It’s a nightmare for me as it was a dream job. Now I don’t know what I’m going to do." Courtiers remain concerned about security risks among the Royal staff, notably the vetting procedure. We understand that the Queen was not informed of the matter at the time." (It looks as if even the Queen of England isn't safe from would be poisoners!!!!!)

Now that the New Year is upon us, I wonder what one of the GBC Resolutions will be? Most certainly: "To avoid being charged with homocide or anything remotely connected with homocide by poisoning - again - this year." The Vedic Observer.

3) Concerning the Windle Turley Settlement By: Krishna C. Jacobs

There seem to be a number of misconception regarding the Windle Turley lawsuit, specifically the plaintiff's motives and the material consequences of a settlement. Many devotees are under the impression that the temples of ISKCON will be liquidated and the communities destroyed. The plaintiffs have been described as selfish, greedy, irreligious and unfaithful to the principles of Karma and Krishna's mercy.

ISKCON exists as a corporation with assets well over the $400 million amount of the lawsuit. Most of these assets are held in real estate throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, India, Africa, Europe, South America, etc. Much of this real estate is vacant. If the GBC decides to liquidate New Ramana Reti (The largest community temple in North America, Alachua, FL) or other working properties before selling vacant real estate it will be their decision. In fact the only body to necessarily suffer financially from the lawsuit will be the GBC and the corporation itself.

There is no reason why a timely settlement of the suit would disrupt or subtract from the lives of the faithful devotees. On the contrary, a settlement of the suit should encourage the GBC to sell ISKCON's assets to devotees, allowing them to invest in that real estate, thereby expanding the present communities. The most constructive step the GBC and ISKCON administration can take at present is the liquidation of ISKCON's real estate and marketable assets. The cash received through these sales can be put towards an early settlement of the lawsuit. (It is likely that an early settlement will be for significantly less than a final judgment.)

The lawsuit is therefore not an affront to the religion or the Hare Krishna communities but an impetus for the GBC to sell their hoarded properties to devotees. The gurus and sannyasas who are instilling fear into the ISKCON communities through incomplete and deceptive propaganda are guarding their own power (financial control). They are not concerned with innocence or guilt, or the ultimate good of the Hare Krishna communities. They are greedily holding onto their wealth while calling the plaintiffs greedy. They are hypocritically contradicting their ashrams and calling the plaintiffs irreligious. If indeed the gurukulis suffered as a result of their own karma it is time for ISKCON to stop using bias semantics and accept Krishna's lesson.

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

4) IT WAS A TRICK (IRM status)

...We thought that the GBC had agreed for Bangalore to do this (ritviks), but it turned out to be just a trick. So I cannot say if and when this would occur. It seems unlikely that the current GBC will ever agree to ritvik initiations, but you never know, they did recently dump the 'law of disciplic succession'.

[PADA: Well yes, the GBC are always having to add, amend, fix, repair, and jettison things all the time. And yes, they had no intention of allowing a ritvik center to exist within official ISKCON. So yes, they do "make deals" to try to placate people, then they bring out the hatchet. This is also how the GBC dealt with the ex-children. Back-fired there didn't it? ys pd]

5) MAYAPURA BOMB INVESTIGATION (Mahatma dasa)

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I just wanted to know if any one had some news about the bomb blast in Mayapur. Who is responsible. Will the man's (who died) family will sue ISKCON. I think they should look at the possibilities. This is a very important thing. We can not allow that terrorist like bomb blasts that have killed, may be allowed to pass as Srila Prabhupada's and Lord Krishna's teachings!!

ys Mahatma dasa

------------------------------

6) PARTHA DASA WRITES

The reason that you see so many devotees at "functions" when they don't agree with the philosophy of ISKCON, it is because that is all ISKCON is good for, our social interactions. It's a great place for meeting new friends and seeing your old buddies. Also, if you are fortunate, you can get in a good kirtana. Nobody has any argument with that, with seeing Rathayatra, etc. It's when all the chanting and dancing is over, then these ISKCON folks try to guide peoples lives, that is when the problems start. Because they are totally unqualified. It is about more than initiation, but that is a big factor because devotees put so much weight into it. Your "siksa" guru practically ru(i)ns your life. As long as they just chant and dance, there would never be any arguments. It's only when people start aserting their feeble authority on others lives is when everything falls apart.

[PADA: Wow, good summary or what? ys dp]
===============================

7) A FEW WORDS FROM PADA

92. "Advaita Acarya Goswami is an incarnation of the Lord as a devotee. His loud calling was the cause of the Lord's incarnation." (Adi 3.92) NOTE: This is the attitude of an advanced devotee. He prays that other great souls or even incarnations will come to this planet to save the world from its calamitous state. Rather amazingly, due to frustration of late, some devotees have recently said that they do not wish for any more pure devotees to come to this planet to save the fallen souls. Rather, we simply need a strong GBC body. Or some are saying that if more pure devotees come, too bad for them, they will have to be set apart, ostricized, set outside, and have to work independently of the ISKCON devotees. Of course this might be a blessing in disguise for a truly advanced devotee, to avoid the current ISKCON imbroglio and illegal shennanigans. Yet we say, why not pray for more advanced devotees to come and help ISKCON? Why not? Rather we should all pray that many more great and purified souls will come here to help the mission of Lord Chaitanya and save the planet from its disasterous course.

98. "The so-called acharyas of the age of kali are more concerned with exploiting the resources of their followers than mitigating their miseries; but Sri Advaita prabhu, as the ideal acharya, was concerned with improving the condition of the world situation." (Adi 3.98) NOTE: That seems to be the universal problem of post-1977 ISKCON? These post-1977 "acharyas" have been out there living like little tyrant kings, while their subjects have been exploited, especially, the younger children of ISKCON were mistreated very badly. Nothing new here, this is already known: that these bogus gurus are self-interested.

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

8) BONA FIDE SPIRITUAL MASTER

Bg 4.42 P Transcendental Knowledge.
A BONA FIDE spiritual master is in the disciplic succession FROM TIME ETERNAL, and he does NOT DEVIATE AT ALL from the instructions of the Supreme Lord as they were imparted millions of years ago to the sun-god, from whom the instructions of Bhagavad-gita have come down to the earthly kingdom. ONE SHOULD, THEREFORE, FOLLOW THE PATH OF BHAGAVAD-GITA AS IT IS EXPRESSED IN THE GITA ITSELF AND BEWARE OF SELF-INTERESTED PEOPLE AFTER PERSONAL AGGRANDIZEMENT WHO DEVIATE OTHERS FROM THE ACTUAL PATH. The Lord is definitely the supreme person, and His activities are transcendental. One who understands this is a liberated person from the very beginning of his study of the Gita.

Note: Guru is BONA FIDE this is what Srila Prabhupada says. Now the word BONA FIDE means 1) genuine 2) sincere. It is not possible to therefore say at one point one is genuine and then falls down and becomes not genuine. GOLD IS GOLD. Otherwise the word BONA FIDE looses its meaning. Consider this: Bhavananda is said to have homosexually molested even gurukulies in VRINDAVANA and he is still considered as one of their fallen gurus. How can he be a bona fide guru in the first place? So this proves the ISKCON "gurus" manufactured by the GBC do not even know the MEANING of the word BONA FIDE. Gaudiya matha manufactured hypocrites also have the same "acarya" disease.

Srila Prabhupada VERY CLEARLY states "he does NOT DEVIATE AT ALL". Now consider the following example who form the disciplic succession of acaryas.

68-02-13. Letter: Upendra. My Guru Maharaja was in the 10th generation from Lord Caitanya. We are 11th from Lord Caitanya. The disciplic sucession is as follows: 1. Sri Krishna, 2. Brahma, 3. Narada, 4. Vyasa, 5. Madhva, 6. Padmanabha, 7. Nrihari, 8. Madhava, 9. Akshobhya, 10. Jayatirtha, 11. Jnanasindhu, 12. Purusottama, 13. Vidyanidhi, 14. Rajendra, 15. Jayadharma, 16. Purusottama, 17. Vyasatirtha, 18. Laksmipati, 19. Madhavendra Puri, 20. Isvara Puri (Advaita, Nityananda) 21. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, 22. (Svarupa, Sanatana) Rupa, 23. (Jiva) Raghunath, 24. Krishna dasa, 25. Narottama, 26. Visvanatha, 27. (Baladeva.) Jagannatha, 28. (Bhaktivinode) Gaura-kisora, 29. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, Sri Barshabhanavidayitadas, 30. Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta.

SB 3.29.17 P Explanation of Devotional Service by Lord Kapila In Bhagavad-gita, Thirteenth Chapter, it is clearly stated that one should execute devotional service and advance on the path of spiritual knowledge by accepting the acarya. Acaryopasanam: one should worship an acarya, a spiritual master who knows things as they are. The spiritual master must be in the disciplic succession from Krsna. The predecessors of the spiritual master are his spiritual master, his grand spiritual master, his great-grand spiritual master and so on, who form the disciplic succession of acaryas.

How obnoxious to say the guru deviates falls down. Sometimes they say but Brahma fell down BUT at that point Lord Brahma was NOT the acarya. "THIS EXTRAORDINARY IMMORTALITY ON THE PART OF BRAHMA WAS HEARD TO HAVE OCCURRED IN SOME PARTICULAR KALPA, BUT IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE KALPA IN WHICH BRAHMA HEARD DIRECTLY FROM THE LORD THE FOUR ESSENTIAL VERSES OF SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM BECAUSE THE LORD BLESSED BRAHMA, AFTER GIVING HIM LESSONS ON THE BHAGAVATAM, THAT HE WOULD NEVER BE BEWILDERED IN ANY KALPA WHATSOEVER. THIS INDICATES THAT BEFORE THE HEARING OF SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM HE MIGHT HAVE FALLEN A VICTIM TO SUCH SENSUALITY, BUT AFTER HEARING SRIMAD-BHAGAVATAM DIRECTLY FROM THE LORD, THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY OF SUCH FAILURES." SB 3.12.28

So Srila Prabhupada has given us the FULL contents of the disciplic succession with himself the current acarya. In all Srila Prabhupada's books mention ISKCON Founder-Acarya (founder hypen acarya means he is not simply the founder BUT ALSO ITS ACARYA. Founder AND Acarya).

"A BONA FIDE spiritual master is in the disciplic succession FROM TIME ETERNAL" Time eternal? thats correct NITYA SIDDHA: this is Srila Prabhupada. This again confirms his position below: THE PREDICTION

750302BA.ATL Lectures So perhaps my Guru Maharaja, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, attempted to fulfill the desire of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And sometimes in the year 1918, he was brahmacari, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura, his material father, he wanted... Actually, he wanted, Bhaktivinoda Thakura... Of course, everyone wanted. But he wrote one small book, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Teachings and Precepts of Lord Caitanya, in 1896. And he presented that book to the McGill University in Canada. And he very much desired that the foreigners, especially Americans, would join this movement. That was his desire in 1896. And then, in 1918, my Guru Maharaja started with this mission one institution known as Gaudiya Math. Perhaps some of you know the name, Gaudiya Math. And he was trying to spread this message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and by chance OR BY PREDICTION, AS YOU THINK, I WAS TAKEN TO BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKURA BY ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I did not want to go there, but he forcibly took me there. Yes. And he ordered me that "You preach the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu in English language. This is very much essential." So on the first meeting he told me like that. That was my first meeting with him. So at that time I was in favor of Gandhi's movement. So I said that "We are not independent--subjugated. Who will hear about our message?" So Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati Thakura refuted my argument. I was very much pleased. I had so many talks. But I was very much pleased to be defeated, that "This so-called nationalism or any ism, they are all temporary. Real need is the self-realization."

50323AR.MAY Lectures Jayapataka: ...you Srila Prabhupada. Only by your mercy you have brought us to this Krsna consciousness movement. Prabhupada: Yes. I am simply messenger. Mercy is of Bhaktivinoda Thakura and Srila Prabhupada. BEFORE YOUR COMING THEY PREDICTED, THAT "SOMEBODY WILL BRING." MAYBE THAT SOMEBODY I AM. (CHUCKLES) BHAKTIVINODA THAKURA PREDICTED. So anyway, Krsna has given us nice place. Stay here. So you producing food grains?

Note: here Srila Prabhupada uses the word "INDIVIDUALLY" --this is a fact he INDIVIDUALLY preached this cult ALL OVER THE WORLD (ACARYA OF WORLD -- JAGAD-GURU means siksa and Diksa BOTH).

71-02-23. Letter: Jayapataka So far as cooperating with my Godbrothers is concerned, that is not very urgent business. So far until now my Godbrothers have regularly not cooperated with me and by the grace of my Spiritual Master, things are still going ahead. So cooperation or non-cooperation, IT IS THE DESIRE OF BHAKTIVINODE THAKURA TO PREACH THE CAITANYA CULT ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IN 1875 HE PREDICTED THAT SOMEONE WOULD COME VERY SOON WHO WOULD INDIVIDUALLY PREACH THIS CULT ALL OVER THE WORLD. So if his benediction is there and my Guru Maharaja's blessings are there, we can go ahead without any impediment but all of us must be very sincere and serious. We have been a little inflicted by public criticism that we Godbrothers do not work together. My Guru Maharaja wanted also us to work together but some how or other it hasn't happened up until now. So your program of cooperating with Madhava Maharaja is not so important. Best thing is that all we Godbrothers work together. Then the criticism will stop, otherwise even we join together, criticism will go on. So this has been going on for the last 24 years, but everyone of us is doing his best keeping Lord Caitanya in the center. We should be satisfied so much.

Note: although envious persons may not accept Srila Prabhupadas unique position here Srila Prabhupada has actually explained to us that he as THE TRUE ACARYA, THE SPIRITUAL MASTER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD is the ONE SINGULAR person who is the ACARYA OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. It is Srila Prabhupada who is the SPIRITUAL MASTER OF ALL THE VARNAS (BRAHMANA, KSATRIYA, VAISYA AND SUDRA) AND ALL THE ASRAMAS (BRAHMACARYA, GRHASTHA, VANAPRASTHA AND SANNYASA). Srila Prabhupada THE TRUE ACARYA PRESENTS KRSNA TO EVERYONE BY PREACHING THE HOLY NAME OF THE LORD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD(In Srila Prabhupadas books he gives EVERYONE the Holy name).

Antya 7.12 "You have spread the sankirtana movement of Krsna consciousness. Therefore it is evident that You have been empowered by Lord Krsna. There is no question about it. PURPORT Antya 7.12 Sri Madhvacarya has brought our attention to this quotation from the Narayana-samhita: "in the Dvapara-yuga one could satisfy Krsna or Visnu only by worshiping opulently according to the pancaratriki system, but in the age of Kali one can satisfy and worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari simply by chanting His holy name." SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKURA EXPLAINS THAT UNLESS ONE IS DIRECTLY EMPOWERED BY THE CAUSELESS MERCY OF KRSNA, ONE CANNOT BECOME THE SPIRITUAL MASTER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD (JAGAD-GURU).

One cannot become an acarya simply by mental speculation. THE TRUE ACARYA PRESENTS KRSNA TO EVERYONE BY PREACHING THE HOLY NAME OF THE LORD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. Thus the conditioned souls, purified by chanting the holy name, are LIBERATED from the blazing fire of material existence. In this way, spiritual benefit grows increasingly full, like the waxing moon in the sky. THE TRUE ACARYA, THE SPIRITUAL MASTER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD, MUST BE CONSIDERED AN INCARNATION OF KRSNA'S MERCY. INDEED, HE IS PERSONALLY EMBRACING KRSNA. HE IS THEREFORE THE SPIRITUAL MASTER OF ALL THE VARNAS (BRAHMANA, KSATRIYA, VAISYA AND SUDRA) AND ALL THE ASRAMAS (BRAHMACARYA, GRHASTHA, VANAPRASTHA AND SANNYASA). Since he is understood to be the most advanced devotee, he is called paramahamsa-thakura. Thakura is a title of honor offered to the paramahamsa. Therefore one who acts as an acarya, directly presenting Lord Krsna by spreading His name and fame, IS ALSO TO BE CALLED PARAMAHAMSA-THAKURA.

Note: 'The ACARYA will pick up' this indicates as Srila Prabhupada has indicated to us 'the books will do everything' (the spiritual master and his instructions are non-different). 741021SB.MAY Lectures Ata saba hari ara varnasrama-dharma, niskincana haya laya krsnaika sarana.(?) This is the... Varnasrama-dharma, that is material. Varnasrama is planned for material life in a systematic way so that, in due course of time, one may give up the family relationship and take sannyasa and completely devote for Krsna's service. This is the plan of varnasrama-dharma. Varnasrama-dharma is not meant for planning something, and you remain in the family.

No. The Varnasrama... Varna means brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra. Catur-varnyam maya srstam guna-karma-vibhagasah. Guna, not everyone is qualified in the same way. Therefore you... THE ACARYA WILL PICK UP THAT "THEY ARE MEANT FOR BECOMING BRAHMANAS. THEY ARE MEANT FOR KSATRIYAS." OR FOR COMING FROM KSATRIYA FAMILY, OR THE BRAHMANA FAMILY... SO FIRST OF ALL, THESE VARNAS, THEN ASRAMA. The brahmana, one who is qualified as a brahmana, he has to observe the four asramas, a brahmana: the brahmacari-asrama, the grhastha-asrama, the vanaprastha-asrama and sannyasa-asrama. The ksatriya, they'll have to observe three asramas: brahmacari, grhastha and vanaprastha. And the vaisyas, two asramas: brahmacari and grhastha. And sudra, only one asrama, only grhastha. A sudra is never offered sannyasa. A... Only the brahmana is offered.

74-04-28. Letter: Rupanuga You are right about Sridhara Maharaja's genuineness. But in my opinion he is the best of the lot. He is my old friend, at least he executes the regulative principles of devotional service. I do not wish to discuss about activities of my Godbrothers but it is a fact they have no life for preaching work. All are satisfied with a place for residence in the name of a temple, they engage disciples to get foodstuff by transcendental devices and eat and sleep. They have no idea or brain how to broacast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. My Guru Maharaja used to lament many times for this reason and he thought if one man at least had understood the principle of preaching then his mission would achieve success. In the latter days of my Guru Maharaja he was very disgusted.

Actually, he left this world earlier, otherwise he would have continued to live for more years. Still he requested his disciples to form a strong Governing body for preaching the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He never recommended anyone to be acarya of the Gaudiya Math. But Sridhara Maharaja is responsible for disobeying this order of Guru Maharaja, and he and others who are already dead unnecessarily thought that there must be one acarya. If Guru Maharaja could have seen someone who was qualified at that time to be acarya he would have mentioned. Because on the night before he passed away he talked of so many things, but never mentioned an acarya. His idea was acarya was not to be nominated amongst the governing body. HE SAID OPENLY YOU MAKE A GBC AND CONDUCT THE MISSION. SO HIS IDEA WAS AMONGST THE MEMBERS OF GBC WHO WOULD COME OUT SUCCESSFUL AND SELF EFFULGENT ACARYA WOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED.

So Sridhara Maharaja and his two associate gentlemen unauthorizedly selected one acarya and later it proved a failure. The result is now everyone is claiming to be acarya even though they may be kanistha adhikari with no ability to preach. In some of the camps the acarya is being changed three times a year. Therefore we may not commit the same mistake in our ISKCON camp. Actually amongst my Godbrothers no one is qualified to become acarya. So it is better not to mix with my Godbrothers very intimately because instead of inspiring our students and disciples they may sometimes pollute them. This attempt was made previously by them, especially Madhava Maharaja and Tirtha Maharaja and Bon Maharaja but somehow or other I saved the situation. This is going on. We shall be very careful about them and not mix with them. This is my instruction to you all. They cannot help us in our movement, but they are very competent to harm our natural progress. So we must be very careful about them.

9) US AND THEM MENTALITY

We had better do a better job than them. We are a better group than they are. We have the real truth, the real God and they don't. We will win because we on the side of right and they are evil. If you look at these sentences, you will notice one main feature and that is the division between two things. Does God have a division as far as his love for all? Did God divide the world up into so many divisions? Divisions exist because man in his fears, insecurities and selfishness wants them there. Basically, there is really only us. There is no them. But due to lack of understanding, lack of love and compassion, lack of knowledge, lack of humility, and lack of communication, there are many divisions.

Even the body and soul is divided in the sense that we give all our attention to the body and almost none to the soul. If there are no us and them, can there be war, can there be hatred and can there be anger? Yes, there can be but not much, a very minimum. If you are them, how can you do harm to them? It would be like doing harm to one's self. See the point. This does not infer that we do not need police or jails or armies at this present time. What it means is with proper understanding that we are here together on this planet to share not to hoard, to help each other not to exploit each other, and to love thy neighbor in all parts of the world not just next door to you, this world can be nice place instead of this ball of mentally ill and ill-informed people who now inhabit the planet.

10) Dear "Pada," Obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

Yesterday found out from an old SDG "follower" how the court-case is coming along. Asked them what Hare Krsna foundation is since I got an e-mail from them ..did not read it cause i "can't take it anymore":) They said that the court-case was reduced since the lawyers were going for entire Iskcon criminal activities and got "thrown-out." Now it is down to child molesters. I said, "Okay, now I am angry!" To prevent that happening they were supposed to take one-step at a time and build from there.

Is it possible Krsna is making arrangements for time when the Prabhupada-poisoners and their rank-and-file supporters get convicted. Iskcon will go down in history as poisoning their Founder-acarya. They said SDG had a xmas party and that was "nice." (gagme) "Seems like there is pockets of devotees, now, meeting together in different areas." Du-uh! Yeah. Only that they are praising Prabhupada-poisoners and having a party. Have fun-prabhus. As for Hare Krsna foundation; they told me Ambaris Ford is offering to provide assistance to those who want it. Gee how benevolent: He is getting served whatever he asks: like prasad, association, comfortable traveling to the "different pockets of communities." Okay-this idea is only 15-20 years old. I first heard it back in the 80's.

[PADA: If Amburish is offering help to any ISKCON victims this is a very good sign of progress. We'd like more details of this program if this is going on in fact. We should rather encourage this type of progress. At the same time, there are so many victims it would be hard to bring justice to all of us.]

I would like to ask them if they would extend their services in my case. Probably not. What if i said to the "counselors," after Iskcon poisoned Prabhupada to death, killed the Prabhupada-preachers and tortured his children; the Guadiya-math tradition of guru-killing had to stop immediately. Yesterday. There was no other person on the planet with the same idea that i had. Especially not in Iskcon. Indeed, Iskcon was training Prabhupada-haters. I made a humungous mistake and gave myself cancer, trying to gain even a drop of assistance seeking Prabhupad-conscious association was defeated. Now I am old and sick. Thank-you Iskcon and Hare Krsna foundation. The so-called foundation is nothing more than perpetuating the guru-killer propaganda Smoke-screen for the misguided Iskcon leftovers.

Haribol! Bsd
