Is Guru Gauranga das "Off the Tracks"?
BY: MAHAVIDYA DAS (ACBSP)
Sep 08, UK (SUN) —
Guru Gauranga prabhu has written, "If Srila Prabhupada was here how would He react if he thought ISKCON was going off the track?"
A valid point.
Why not ask some of Srila Prabhupada's earlier disciples?
One could, if one wished, read Srila Prabhupada's own compiled letters, i.e., Siksamrta.
If Guru Gauranga prabhu would take the time to look at ISKCON history,
when Srila Prabhupada was personally present,
he may be obliged to note that His Divine Grace was fiercely protective of His ISKCON society.
We only have to see Srila Prabhupada's dealings with the 4 errant sannyasis.
Or perhaps Srila Prabhupada's dealing with Nitai das.
Or how Srila Prabhupada dealt with child abusers.
Or how Srila Prabhupada told us to deal with money.
(In one instance Srila Prabhupada told the devotees to prosecute one rascal).
Or Srila Prabhupada's instructions on security.
Or how Srila Prabhupada told us NOT to visit His god brothers, etc .
Or how Srila Prabhupada reacted to changes on His books.
All of this is document-able.
We should be studying Srila Prabhupada's motivation.
As followers of His Divine Grace we have a duty to follow and preserve His teachings.
Perhaps…
according to Guru Gauranga das,
Srila Prabhupada should simply leave ISKCON.
Perhaps…
according to Guru Gauranga das,
we should let ISKCON go off the tracks.
Those who complain are simply faultfinders, envious, etc., etc., etc. , blah bhah bhah.
Perhaps...
we should be studying Guru Gauranga das's motivations.
Why is it that Guru Gauranga das,
and the leadership that he defends,
do NOT speak up
when required
to protect Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON?
