Who Will Root Out 'PARASITES' at the Highest Level?
BY: GADADHARA DASA
Aug 22, TEXAS (SUN) — A response to Vrashabha Dasa's editorial.
I was glad to read your article, "Simple, But
Powerful Key to Success" about manage- ment of ISKCON. You write:
"I have been a devotee for nearly 20 years, and I can definitely say that there are too many dharma-dvajis in our ISKCON society. [Dharma-dvaji is a person who only looks like a devotee and seemingly follows rules of
sadhana, but who is actually interested in his/her personal selfish goals -
position, recognition, prestige, financial gain ... etc. - rather than in
making serious spiritual advancement by serving Srila Prabhupada]. Those
dharma-dvajis are the most common sources of ISKCON politics and are very
successful in creating crises (emotional, financial ... etc). Such
parasites must be rooted out; and THAT should be the primary service of the
GBC representatives"
However, many of these leaders themselves are "DHARMA DVAJIS" and working
for profit, adoration, and distinction behind the false facade of
devotional service to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.
Most of these big problems of robbing temples and kicking out devotees
were/are done by big leaders. Corrupt leaders appoint corrupt assistants
and they protect each other and honest devotees are driven out.
There have been almost 100 Gurus appointed but few are given post of GBC. Why? Because GBC means "VOTING POWER" and thus "CONTROL". You are qualified to be Guru but you are not qualified to be GBC - that is how GBCs control and keep their power and keep others out and drive away others.
At the highest level, dharma dvaji game is played by ISKCON leaders where talk goes like this:
Prabhu you prepare to be GBC,
Prabhu you prepare to be assistant GBC,
Prabhu you prepare to be Guru,
Prabhu you prepare to take Sannyas,
Prabhu you be chairmen of this committee and you be chairwomen
of that,
Prabhu you prepare to be TP,
So who will root out "PARASITES" at the highest level?
If the top leaders are honest, truthful, clean, pure, and dedicated then
managers at lower level will not dare to exploit their position and power
and any problems found at lower level can be handled effectively and
quickly. However, if top leaders are corrupt then they corrupt the whole
chain of command by appointing and protecting other corrupt individuals.
Wishing You Well,
Your humble servant,
Gadadhar Dasa
