[Ed.: Please also see the subsequent article, "Mahanidhi Denial Reported"]

The following was received from a Swami who would like to remain anonymous:

"Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisance's. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I'm hesitant to share this information because devotees should be shown compassion when they are having difficulties but if the devotee offends Srila Prabhupada, is dishonest and willingly wants to cheat and exploit people destroying their spiritual lives then I'm feeling the truth must be told.

Mahanidhi prabhu has rejected Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON and resigned from preaching the Sankirtan mission His Divine Grace taught us. It seems he was one of the original Gopi Bhav club members along with Tamal Krishna Goswami, Giriraja Swami, Dhanurdhara Swami, BB Govinda Maharaja, Radhanatha Swami, Lokanatha Maharaja, Sachinandana Swami, Bhurijan prabhu and a few others. Mahanidhi has decided to become more in touch with the babajis at Radha Kunda and plans to give Sidha Pranali initiation to a group of women he's been intimate with and have been following him for a while.

This is an accurate account from people very close to him, and know these explanations are true, and are first hand explanations and experiences from devotees who lived at Radha Kunda. With lacs coming from his books sales and admirers donating, throwing money at his "lotus" padas he won't be going hungry anytime soon.

Srila Prabhupada told us in 1971 when we went to Vrndavana, that we cannot live in Radha kunda (we can only visit there temporarily). He said if we try to live there and do "nirjana bhajana" we will simply think of sex life, and we will not be in Radha Kunda -- but Narakah kunda (hell). A fact recently proven.

He also firmly ordered us, that we must never associate with these Radha Kunda babajis, who live there. He said these babajis are very contaminated people with many wrong ideas. It seems Mahanidhi swami ignored these instructions?

Worse, some of these babajis tried to "re-initiate" (hi-jack) Srila Prabhupada's disciples -- even way back then! The babajis said we need to accept them -- to get the real rasika teachings. It is amazing that all these direct orders are being ignored. And the unfortunate result of ignoring these direct orders is: that some of the people who went to Radha Kunda to live there -- ended up -- thinking of women and sex life, just as he warned us -- would happen! Srila Prabhupada said we need to be preachers and not artificial "nirjana bhajana in Radha Kunda babajis."

Until 2002 Aindra prabhu was best friends with Mahanidhi, and Aindra used to come and meet Mahanidhi every day at Radha kunda. But when Aindra came to know about Mahanidhi's so many re-initiations he questioned Mahanidhi Maharaj and they had a big argument and fight about this issue. Maharaja was an eye witness to that fight. Aindra prabhu told Mahanidhi that from now onwards he will have nothing to do with him until he repents and apologizes to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaja, who wishes to remain anonymous, was the one who built Mahanidhi swami's ashram in Radha kunda in 2001. He was going to take initiation from him, and was his right hand secretary and assistant, but in 2003 he came to know about his affair with a woman (who was about 26 years old at the time) and so he rejected him. He then told some of the other ISKCON GBC leaders at that time about Mahanidhi's female association scandal problem, and that the woman had got a divorce to be with Mahanidhi, but they didn't listen. Damodar was his best friend and first disciple of Mahanidhi swami at the time.

Maharaja knew about his connection to women all along, and much more about Mahanidhi Swami's problems, for example that he has taken 5 re-initiations and all the GBC in ISKCON knew about this problem, but no one wants to question him -- as he has been built up in the first place by these ISKCON leaders as ISKCON's (rasika guru) ANSWER TO NARAYAN MAHARAJ.

Worse, in 2003 the Swami saw him make the grossest of offences when he kicked the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM ON HIS VERANDA. And he also said the Bhagavad Gita of Srila Prabhupada contains no nectar, its dry.

Mahanidhi also gave him so-called SIDDHA PRANALI initiation AND he told him to do SMARANAM and YOGA PITHA UPASANA. Mahanidhi's first re-initiation was from Narayan maharaj, then Puri maharaj, then Krsna dasa babaji of Goverdhan, then Ananta dasa pandit of Radha kunda and finally from this Rama Krsnadasa babaji.

Mahanidhi told maharaja and many others in 2003 that Srila Prabhupada is not a pure devotee and he has made many mistakes, so these were all the various reasons for Mahanidhi's rejecting Srila Prabhupada as his guru. Mahanidhi also used to allow meat eaters to hear his rasa lila pastime talks and also to read books like Govinda lila-amrita and Krsna bhava-amrita--asta kaliya lila. Only those who had enough money could become his disciples, the rest he rejected, or he just kept them waiting for his so called causeless mercy -- which he never gave to them, lucky for them.

Radhanath Swami called his book The Art of Chanting, the "Bible" of ISKCON, and Sacinandana Swami called this book a masterpiece. But maharaja knew his book was simply a word for word translation of Ananta dasa pandit's book, which is written in Bengali. Nearly all his books and lectures are a copy and paste of Ananta dasa pandit's books and lectures. Ramesh baba -- the guru in Barsana. He is a sahajiya. And that is why Sacinandana Swami and Radhanath dance like these sahajiyas, they follow these people. This Ramesh baba is the siksha guru of Mahanidhi and [allegedly] "diksha guru" of Sacinandana Swami, Radhanatha and Lokanath Swami, and also Radha Govinda maharaja; they all took re-initiation from Ramesh baba, but very secretively.

Until 2003, maharaja was a part of this inner circle, the nexus, from the outside it looks that they all are in gopi bhava, but once you get in the inner circle you realize it is a horror show. Watch Radhanath, Lokanath, Sacinandana, Mahanidhi closely when they dance or do kirtan, and you will see that how closely they resemble these babajis. Very few know that just before Srila Prabhupada made these negative statements about people taking sannyasa, Mahanidhi swami had approached Srila Prabhupada for sannyasa.

And Srila Prabhupada rejected him saying you are not qualified for sannyasa ---: SRILA PRABHUPADA:

    "And this kind of hypocrisy—they have taken sannyasa and mixing with woman. This is not to be allowed. If you want woman you get yourself married, live respectfully. We have no objection. But this hypocrisy should be stopped. There have been so many fallen down. First of all there will be no sannyasi anymore. I have got very bad experience. And at least, we are not going to create new sannyasis. And those who have fallen down let them marry, live like respectable gentlemen. I have no objection. [...]

    "Get one wife and live like a gentleman. Similarly, woman. Live with one husband fastidiously, with children. What is the wrong there? We have so many grhastha devotees. [...]

    "But what is this nonsense that you take sannyasa and make relation with...? This should be completely stopped."

    (Srila Prabhupada Conversation, 7/1/77)

Then Mahanidhi took sannyasa from Satsvarupa Maharaj and Mahanidhi is the real one responsible for the bogus Lilamrita, he did all the interviews and compiling for Satsvarupa. This fall down will really shake the other GBC's/gurus, since Mahanidhi swami is the siksha guru to many, like Radhanath and Sacinandana Swamis, Bhanu Swami, Lokanath, BB Govinda Swami, Gopal Krishna maharaja etc., etc. Soon we will see the GBC/gurus try to cover it all up, as they have since 2003 already.

On his Vyasa puja this year, Mahanidhi's disciples hired a helicopter and threw flower petals on Radha Kunda. Three days later -- he was gone. Maharaja was told that his disciples pleaded with him not to leave Radha Kunda and sort his problems out. They asked him to leave the association of the old lady (75 years old?). Mahanidhi told them to leave if they wanted but he would not give up her association.

Maharaja spoke with Damodara dasa (Mahanidhi swami's first disciple) and he confirmed the news of maharaja's affair with a 30 yrs old Rasa Rangini dasi (maharaja's 3rd disciple from Delhi). Maharaja was caught with her red handed 2 months back. Radhanath Swami and Gopla Krishna Maharaja are arranging a meeting to somehow cover it all up. They will soon be going to meet with Mahanidhi and help him "rectify." THIS MATAJI WAS MARRIED TO A GUY AND MAHARAJA GOT HER DIVORCED FROM HIM IN 2006. This is the same mataji whom in 2003 I saw with Maharaja in his closed room in a much compromised position." [end]

Honesty and transparency must come from the top to the bottom otherwise a rotten mentality of one will eventually spoil the whole barrel…..
