Kanistha-adhikaris Thinking They're Maha-bhagavats
BY: GOKULANANDA DAS
Aug 13, 2010 UK (SUN) Dear Prabhus, after reading the recent article, "Answering All of Rasaprema's Questions", it is not surprising that devotees all around the world are confused about what has actually been going on in ISKCON for the last 33 years. Murders, drug trafficking, bogus money-making ventures, banishments from temples for simply asking questions, re-initiations, taking siksa from people whom Srila Prabhupada warned us that rather than helping will only hinder, etc, etc, etc. I would like to make the following statement.
ALL PROBLEMS IN ISKCON SINCE SRILA PRABHUPADA LEFT US ARE DOWN TO ONE SOLE MISTAKE – KANISTHA-ADHIKARIS THINK THEY HAVE BECOME MAHA-BHAGAVATS. BAS.
This includes gurus selling temples they were specifically ordered never to sell by Srila Prabhupada (and don't look for exceptional circumstances, which never included the desire for name, fame, ESPECIALLY FORTUNE and glory).
It includes silly little boys concocting things, like making a jeweled crown, orb and scepter to put on Srila Prabhupada's murti, then having the cheek to wear it themselves for their own "vyasa puja".
It includes "fully liberated souls" falling down to the level of being VOMIT-EATERS, yes, dogs do eat their own vomit -- ever heard the expression CHEWING THE CHEWED, and as anyone who has actually taken the time to read Srila Prabhupada's books will know, any sannyasi who "falls-down" immediately becomes such a vomit eater.
It includes ALL AND ANY DEVIANCE.
Come on Prabhus, better to admit that we are fallen sinners than pretending to be something that we are not.
Better, let us aspire to be THE DOG OF A VAISNAVA -- RATHER THAN THE MASTER OF DOGS. (Oh, and in case anyone thinks I'm calling devotees dogs, I'm not-- only those fools who willingly follow these bogus "gurus" to their destination, as enunciated in the Isopanisad, after their GURU-BUSINESS).
