Calculated Mission Drift



Calculated Mission Drift

BY: BHAKTA DAVE

Recent topical articles in the Sampradaya Sun relating to the many deviations within ISKCON seem to fall short of calling out the designers of these deviations and those who have allowed their implementation. Citing the three types of criticism aforementioned by Sriman Jaya Madhava Prabhu coming from Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur's Vaisnava Ninda, this essay follows proper procedure in exposing those who seek to usurp the position of the nitya-siddha Acarya, Srila Prabhupada.

[PADA: Good, sums up the whole issue, people have tried to usurp the position of the acharya Srila Prabhupada, and they were aided and abetted by those who "allowed" and facilitated that deviation. There was a double sided problem, those who "designed" and created these deviations, and those who "allowed the implementation of the deviations." 

As one devotee recently commented, we saw garbage constantly being swept under the rug, until finally -- ISKCON became the garbage filled rug and was no longer ISKCON. PADA's idea is -- Srila Prabhupada is a great soul from a culture that seeks pure service to God, and he was able to introduce that great culture into a very vicious and contaminated Western culture -- to some extent -- but the Western culture sort of ate up the great culture, and the Western culture largely just went back to its status quo contaminated status. 

Part of this reasoning is -- our thinking that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned by a coterie of these Western disciples, and this was the root cause of the introduction of the main contamination. Then a lot of the Western "regular congregation members," the so-called rank and file, many of them also began promoting the bad core coterie as "gurus," thus they "allowed the implementation of deviations." In sum, the rank and file were unable or unwilling to counteract the contaminated core coterie, and so the bad guys sort of won by default. Then again, this is sort of the expected collective karma of all this, and this is why Srila Prabhupada said 95 percent of you will go back to being hippies after I depart.]  

The exponential downward spiraling of world culture is undoubtedly a result of the progression of Kali Yuga. However, there exists a primary agency which, acting entirely under the influence of tamas and rajas, works with mechanical precision to effect the degradation of society worldwide. This network of financial control coupled with total information control works in tandem to enslave whole countries while subduing the populi with base forms of entertainment, known as "weapons of mass distraction". These entertainment networks are also the news networks, as there is now virtually no hard news left except that which is carefully filtered and retouched to keep the people in fear, thus creating an artificial dependency on the governmental structure for perceived security against contrived threats.

[PADA: Right, a lot of devotees, including a number of the ex-gurus, simply went back to mundane life which is controlled by rajas and tamas. Information in ISKCON was also "carefully filtered and retouched," and it still is. For example Mukunda's "ISKCON World Review" presented a glossy image of impressive accomplishments, while at the same time the mass devotees were being forced out of ISKCON in a mass exodus, and there were brutal media reports of all kinds of wrong doings.]

True investigative reporting is primarily absent from these formats. It is now most exclusively found online. The result of this shift has savaged the readership and viewership of mainstream publications and networks while skyrocketing the "ratings" of online forums, blogs and news aggregators.

We have observed, within the hierarchical structure of ISKCON, a similar top-down approach to controlling the minds and mindsets of existing and new members. The GBC has adopted a unilateral and iron-fisted methodology for dealing with those who plainly see that the "Emperor has no clothes". Repeated falldowns and ever increasingly bizarre deviations are covered up, exactly as they are done in secular governance, with the result being that the temple members and congregational attendees alike have to turn their heads and hold their noses in order to take darsana of Sri Sri Radha Krsna in the temple and partake of Their prasad.

[PADA: Right, this is what happens when the garbage being swept under the rug becomes the rug, people have to "hold their noses" when they enter the official ISKCON process. After Ravindra Swarupa caused so much pain and hardship for the Philadelphia devotees, Anuttama rewards him by setting him up in Potomac. After gurus are caught deviating, they are often only slapped on the wrist and allowed back. Its just like the karmi society where evil politicians rub each other's backs and reward their loyalists, even if these loyalists have caused all kinds of pain and problems for the masses due to their mis-managing. In other words, current ISKCON has become simply another corrupt operation not unlike karmi political operatives.]

Phalena pariciyate. The fruits have fallen so far from the tree that they are mostly unrecognizable. 

[PADA: Right, the post of guru went from being a resident of Krishna loka, to a person engaged in illicit sex and taking drugs. Thus the by-product "fruit" no longer represents the original tree.]  

Sri Krsna plainly says paurisam nrsu, that He is the ability in man, and he can remove the ability of those whose behavior besmirks the reputation of Srila Prabhupada at a moment's notice. Sri Krsna also says, unequivocally, that He is the source of all remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. Sarvasya caham hrdi sannivistah. The Sanskritsarvasya, 'of all', leaves no wiggle room.

[PADA: Right, when Jayadvaita swami  wrote -- in ISKCON the GBC's gurus are caught engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children, it seems he was being being forced to admit what kind of "pure chain to God" his bogus GBC program really is promoting here. Oftentimes, its the statements of these leaders that expose their lack of faith and other real problems. When Hrdayananda said -- Srila Prabhupada has been defeated by mundane academia, and that he has overstepped his authority, that was an admission that not only he, but the entire GBC that supports him, have no faith in Krishna or in the guru of ISKCON, for starters.] 

The big, big 'sannyasis' with their six- or seven-figure bank accounts can have their ability to remember Krsna's lotus feet removed. Their bank accounts can also be liquidated or converted to worthless paper at the drop of a hat. This is not unknown to these pretenders, so they willingly go along with the scam, the parody of wealth known as fiat currency, for it fits in nicely with their plans of temporal enjoyment. Srila Prabhupada's divine plan for daivi-varnasrama pulls the rug out from under this imaginary, debt-based wealth by establishing small, independent farm communities. This model eliminates the need for fractional reserve banking, as the cows and the land provide all the real and tangible wealth that the householders need, and the true renunciates subsist perfectly well on the charity provided by these Krsna conscious households.

[PADA: Right, thats the first thing the GBC dismantled and destroyed, the farms and varnasrama program.]

Unfortunately, ISKCON has adopted the neoliberal ideas of the sectarian West epitomised by Hridyananda Maharaja's glaring philosophical inebrieties. 

[PADA: Right, he is still recognized as an acharya by the GBC, which means they are all endorsing his statements and actions, and they allow him to legally use the name of ISKCON. Shameless.]

Western Vaisnavis, aspiring for power and a large base of sycophantic disciples from whom to extract excessive daksina, fail to acknowledge that Srimati Jahnava Devi was and is an eternal associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and an eternal associate of Sri Sri Radhika Devi and Krsna in Goloka Vrndavana. By applying some critical thinking and allowing Srila Prabhupada to open one's eyes with the torchlight of knowledge - caksur unmilitam yena - one can see through the ruse currently operating as ISKCON in America and Great Britain which, incidentally, house the primary players in the secular power structure (New York City, Washington D.C. and London) working at fever pitch to crush the spirit of the struggling populus.

[PADA: Good, yep the GBC has mishandled women so badly, they are alienated to the core. So now the GBC are offering a few cheap baubles of "women guru posts" to appease the female class. Its not going to undo decades of anti-women programs and policies, nor will women gurus cause anything more than another heap of garbage problems to go under the rug.]   
Srila Prabhupada said that Krsna consciousness is not possible on the hellish planets, because the mind is too disturbed. 

[PADA: Seems to have been the bogus GBC's plan all along, create major chaos, crises and a constant stream of disturbances, thus no one will advance in understanding, and then the masses will not notice all the trouble they are making. The good news for us is, the karmi society did notice all this dangerous chaos, and they saved us from being beaten up -- if not eaten up -- by the bogus GBC's iron fisted deviant and violent culture.]

The demons controlling the secular world are well aware of this and are frantically trying to subvert any grassroots efforts to unseat them from power while simultaneously creating 'terror' events to keep people scared and dependent on government "security". The leaders of ISKCON who have 'drunk the Koolaid' have consciously traded off the preyas for the sreyas. They react to any attempt to put ISKCON back on track with petulant cries of 'guru aparadh'. Srila Prabhupada told us that there is no such thing as a bad guru. If he is bad, he's not guru.

It is time to stand up for Srila Prabhupada and defend his position as nitya-siddha jagad guru. We must preach strongly and truthfully. The Mayavadis used to cross the street when they saw Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati coming. He was Lion-guru. We can't imitate. We can only follow.

[PADA: Great ideas here. Lets do it. yd pd]
