Grief At The Bhaktivedanta Manor

EUROPE - January 31, 2000 VNN5371

BHAKTIVEDANTA MANOR, ENGLAND, Jan 31 (VNN)
BY SATYAM DAS

Ambarish Das was found hanged in his home on Tuesday morning, January 18th, with japa beads in his hand. He was a disciple of Lokanath Swami. It is assumed that he died on Monday evening.

Two days before, he had been removed from his salaried position as head of the kitchens at Bhaktivedanta Manor by temple president Vipramukhya Swami. He had told him that he was useless and unwanted. While Ambarish was at the Manor on Monday, some devotees noticed how desperate he looked. Some devotees tried to console him by saying that he had done a very difficult service very nicely for quite a few years. Ambarish replied that this wasn't what he had been told and that he was told that he was completely useless and unwanted.

The devotees in the community can't understand why he had been removed from his position (except that it was noted that someone quite friendly with Vipramukhya Swami was to take over as head of the kitchens). Ambarish Prabhu was already having financial difficulties at the time that the TP sacked him, a fact that was known to and ignored by the management. It is believed that losing this paid position doing something that he dedicated his life for (Bhaktivedanta Manor has enormous numbers of guests visiting each week and especially on holidays like Krsna Janmastami). The whole devotee community (except Vipramukhya Swami) is in agreement that Ambarish Prabhu had done a good job managing such a huge operation, every day, with long hours. His wife was out of the country at the time at the funeral of her own mother, money for which was also coming out of his meager salary.

The Manor devotees are devastated by the tragic death of Ambarish Prabhu, and much fear has been generated as several brahmacaris as well as a few householders are now confiding their own suicidal tendencies. One devotee who has also been faithfully engaged in a paid service position was also sacked at the same time as Ambarish has also admitted his desperate feelings as well.

Understanding that there is an emotional crisis in the community of devotees, several senior devotees tried to officially meet together to discuss what has gone wrong within the local devotee community. Vipramukhya Maharaja opposed the meetings from taking place.

Vipramukhya Swami had left the country suddenly the day after Ambarish's death while the whole community was in the throws of experiencing very painful grief. Now he is back in the country. Many devotees feel that by blocking any meetings that he is trying to prevent them from trying to understand what is causing the massive dissatisfaction in the hearts of the devotees

The devotees at the Manor are desperately clinging to the idea that meetings are going to solve things when it's actually sadhu sanga and hari katha that's missing. Perhaps a future article can discuss real spiritual solutions to the practical problems the devotees in the UK are presently facing, but only after the facts are known by the devotee community at large.

Your Servant,
Satyam Das

[PADA: Some years ago, we personally witnessed a lady devotee die very slowly of cancer. And she told me she was mortified, having been kicked out of her service to the deity, just as the Gaudiya Matha goonda gurus kicked people out of the Gaudiya Matha temples. Well, chalk up another dead victim. Wasn't Vipramukhya the cause of the Jayatirtha murder(s) by spawning that outrageous cult? This dangerous cult leader should be reported to the England immigration authorities and Scotland Yard as the behind the scenes cheerleader for fanning vicious cult activity.]

FROM UK: We have just heard some shocking news. There was a well known Indian devotee called Ambarisha dasa at Bhaktivedanta Manor he commited suicide. He was very well liked especially by the Hindus. He came from South Africa. He is known to have served as Head Cook at the Manor for many years. However --It is understood that he was sacked from this service which he really enjoyed and a notice was put up on the board by the arrangement of Vipramukhya swami.

His "service" was transfered to Bhaktivedanta Manor Fund: this is where devotees are required to hassle Hindus for money. Many know and say that much of this money that is collected is going to the personal paypackets of the gang of few who control the Manor. Its a well know fact that Srila Prabhupada did not want this *salary paid devotees* business. It appears and some say that Ambarish was humiliated and disgusted as he tried to do a few days of hassling but on last Tuesday he hanged himself. This topic of his suicide is treated as low profile perhaps some good "execuse?" needs to be invented by the Manor authorities yet?

Blame it on his wife since they were newly married? We doubt this will convince devotees or many folk. Its also reported that Ambarish wanted to go to Canada where its said his wife went to go for bereavement with a very close relative. Some devotees say Manor authorities forcefully refused to let Ambarish go with her saying his service was more need here.

Fie on Vipramukhya Swami for causing the death of Krishna’s devotees. He should go and kill himself, otherwise the Yamaduttas will take care of him. Fie on Lokanath Swami for not protecting his disciple, he has stolen from Srila Prabhupada, by posing as bogus successor guru. Fie on all the devotees of the Bhaktivedanta Manor for supporting this bogus Temple president Vipramukhya, who is not qualified to lead other devotees.

This heartless rascal Vipramukhya should be reported to the local police for mismanagement and thrown out of the temple and country by the whole congregation of devotees. Don't associate with such demoniac people, otherwise you become like them, heartless like stone, without feeling. Shame upon you all, for not protecting your brother, but worshipping homosexual paedophile gurus and bogus swamis. You indoctrinated brainless zombies and robots, without discrimination and feelings, brainwashed by bogus Isk con philosophy. Great Briton reduced to worms controlled by foreign snakes - really great. Why are you not using your intelligence? Please wake up or you will be the next one.

Vipramukhya is also known as Viper-Mukh or poisonous mouth, meaning anyone associating with him will eventually be killed by his poisonous bite. Snakes are always envious without reason to anyone who comes to close to them, biting without warning, killing people. Srila Prabhupada says that there is no need to feed Snakes with milk, they become even more poisonous. So please stop supporting these false swamis and gurus (religious propagandists) who have taken over the Bhaktivedanta Manor for exploiting Srila Prabhupada’s legacy. They don't care for anyone, except themselves. The blind followers follow the blind leaders, who pretend to see, but both will fall into the ditch.

"Suicide of devotees is the result of worshipping bogus gurus and swamis"

Srila Prabhupada: "A devotee should have intelligence to know who is deviating. Surrender by your intelligence but don't surrender your intelligence." (SP to Bali Mardana, 1974)

Aruna Das

[PADA: This below (suicide of devotees) is the result of worshipping bogus gurus. Oh, by the way, my son met his old friend (an ex-GBC guru's son) the other day and that old friend now eats meat, even steaks. This is because many people who follow the GBC system see that it is bogus and so later they become faithless. KKD also says that we should have made one phone call to halt the madness in 1984, yet when we approached his guru Tripurari, he called us a demon and he wanted to get voted into the pedo-lineage? We did much more than one call, we made hundreds of calls, no one cared, especially the Gaudiya Matha clique.

A report says that many other devotees at the manor are feeling suicidal, as was the mood among the followers of Jim Jones, David Koresh, Charles Manson, Aum Supreme, Heaven's Gate Halle Bopp comet-ites, and many similar mad cults at their end. We think this should mood at the manor should be reported to some authorities, and the names of the leaders there should be reported to them for a full investigation. Thanks pd]

a) The karmi name of the devotee who commited suicide at Bhakivedanta Manor, and the name and address of his parents or other relatives.
b) The karmi name of the above devotee's wife and her family name and address.

It would seem that if the wife of the suicide victim was already grieving over the loss of her mother, and as such, this would have been a particularly bad time to approach her husband with a sacking from his service. "It seems like almost unbelievable heartless activity," a devotee was crying to us on the phone. I said, "Believe it, these guys are gestapos, we have to get our heads out of the sand."

It should also be noted that Vipramukhya swami has caused the infamous "guru's head chopping off" incident in England with his sub-violent fanatical support of Jayatirtha. This also resulted in: Thousands of devotees blooping from ISKCON; Hundreds of devotees joining Jayatirtha's cult; Millions of people later reading about JT's murder; Another murder of a dissident in Nepal; At least one suicide attempt in the USA; A loaded gun being brought out in a Berkeley theater by one of JT's followers who was taking the drug "ecstacy"; And who knows what other kinds of drug dealings, beatings, molestations, murders, so on and so forth? A devotee who visited Jayatirtha's "farm" in 1985 said that a young girl maybe nine years old was very oddly walking around naked, everyone looked stoned on drugs, and that the whole atmosphere there looked like a zoo. Of course some of JT's followers wanted to kill me in 1985, and they threatened me as such....pada.
