Open Letter to ISKCON GBC and Members
BY: DEVAPRASTHA DAS
Jan 21, 2012 — UK (SUN) — Dear Members of the GBC and ISKCON, we have seen that another diksa guru has fallen, one of many. We are told that the GBC is the ultimate authority, yet many times you fall publicly. What are we members to think? It's lila?
Three of you dismissed me as an aparadhi after I told you I found my guru masturbating with pornography. What will you do when evidence is presented? How will you take care of devotees whose gurus fall?
Are we to continue to see GBC as ultimate? Are we to continue surrendering?
Prabhavisnu has 1,500 disciples, how are they feeling now? Harikesa had far more than that, and my guru has half as much as him, maybe 3,000.
Please know that I have taken one item of pornographic magazine, and will request you to check if his fingerprints match on it. This will be a legal case -- me against the so-called guru. I have one godsister who says she feels uncomfortable in his presence, like he undresses her with his eyes.
I agree with Rupanuga Prabhu, let's take shelter of Srila Prabhupada and forget these other people. When will you allow us to do so without us becoming labeled aparadhis?
And I want to suggest you stop these guru seminars on how to be a good guru. It doesn't make sense, Anuttama is one instructor of those classes and he is grihasta. How silly is this?
I am not upset, I'm relieved, I now know what the truth is and how to worship, and who.
Devaprastha
