ISKCON! FISKCON!
BY: KRSNACANDRA DASA
Feb 09, SRI VRNDAVAN DHAM (SUN) — Firstly I would like to thank Gurukripa and Hamsavatar prabhus for their honest and heartfelt disclosure; the outcome of these revelations will in time prove very important for the future of ISKCON. I pray that devotees have the intelligence and fortitude to follow the points that they have raised to their natural conclusion.
We have seen over the last few years a groundswell of public opinion on how ISKCON has been taken over by so-called devotees who have used and abused Srila Prabhupada's name and his movement, ISKCON, to their personal advantage.
This simply must stop. It is now time for True Prabhupada men and women to make a stand.
At this point in ISKCON's history we must focus our attention on the issues relating to the hostile takeover of ISKCON by individuals who have proven time and time again to not have Srila Prabhupada or his true followers' best intentions at heart.
Two ISKCONs are in existence today. One is the true ISKCON, which is Srila Prabhupada's gift to us. The other one is what I prefer to term "FISKCON" or Fraudulent ISKCON. This FISKCON is the creation of individuals who have "hijacked" the true ISKCON and have corrupted it to meet their own agenda. The basis of this FISKCON is a "CON", a lie. They have no authority to be in control of the true followers of ISKCON or to represent its Founder/Acarya, Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada had a similar choice as we. He chose to follow his guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati. Instead of joining the Math System or "guru franchise system", he chose to continue the true Gaudiya Math, ISKCON. Similarly, we too must take sides:
1. We must begin to speak and tell our stories.
2. We must stop listening to or associating with devotees who work for FISKCON.
3. We must stop supporting them or their projects in any way.
4. We must not, under any circumstance, give them money.
5. We must stop distributing their books and demand to only distribute Srila Prabhupada's books.
6. We must hold Temple Community meetings and vote the Temple Presidents out if they support FISKCON.
7. We must vote for our own GBC Member and not accept ones that were appointed by FISKCON.
8. If not initiated, then find a (siksa) devotee in ISKCON who is qualified and take shelter of them, and focus on Srila Prabhupada and the true ISKCON.
Thirty-two (32) years, over three decades, have elapsed since Srila Prabhupada's movement, ISKCON, was hijacked and held hostage by these terrorists.
There are no more excuses!
Their fear inspiring threats of excommunication of true followers of Srila Prabhupada from ISKCON hold no sway in 2009.
Many devotees have left, either by their own volition or they have been pushed out - by the usurpers. Some devotees at this moment are considering leaving, however we must understand that ISKCON does not belong to anyone. Srila Prabhupada established ISKCON for all sincere souls to come and live with him in his house. To live in Srila Prabhupada's house is our right.
No one, absolutely no one, can force us out, nor should we for any reason leave ISKCON!
They are the minority and we are the majority.
At this moment, we know that they are in panic mode. Gurukripa's letter has caused incredible waves of fear through their ranks and will be the subject of many extraordinary GBC meetings…
The wind of change is blowing in our movement. They can smell it in the air. Their ability to cover up their sins (damage control) no longer has any potency.
It is now time for the true followers of Srila Prabhupada to make a stand. We must have zero tolerance for Terrorists! They have no authority or any power to do one single thing in opposition to Srila Prabhupada or ISKCON, except by our compliance and support. We must stop supporting them or their cause and realign ourselves with Srila Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON and take back, for Srila Prabhupada, what they have stolen.
