What About Hridayananda? Quotes from a GBC
BY: RAVANARI DAS
Oct 23, USA (SUN) — The following words, which help explain why Howie the Resneck has basically no one running to his defense, are taken verbatim from a GBC's leaked notes scribed some six years back. Read it and weep:
"What about Hridayananada Maharaja? Two of my sannyasi Godbrothers were here... They say that HM is almost not in ISKCON anymore, and that his older disciples have taken shelter of other spiritual masters because he is wearing only karmi clothes and mixing Krishna consciousness with mundane religion. They say that there is some meeting of ISKCON leadership going on now in USA about him. One of my Godbrothers who came here said he talked to HM for six hours but could not get anywhere with him.
"I remember you said he is like a husband without a wife and they are saying that it will not be surprising if HM is getting together with a woman soon.
"Maharaja came here to see me. We had a nice talk for maybe two hours, He was trying to help Hridayananda Maharaja, but I guess he thinks it is hopeless because Hrd. M. won't listen to anybody. He is not chanting his rounds anymore and he is not reading Shrila Prabhupada's books."
It looks like the Hridaya cover-up has been going on at the highest levels in ISKCON management for a long, long time. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada's faithful Harinamananda Prabhu for bringing these perennial deviations to light. The devotees who have given their very lives to an institution they see as the sacred body of the real Acharyadeva himself deserve to be cheated no longer.
First the GBC must enforce their ruling that all Pada Squad names be no longer foisted on the innocent members. Remember that "Shrila Acharyadeva" took his self-congratulatory moniker along with Shrila Gurupada, "Shrila Harikirtan Thakur"," the two "Shrila Vishnupadas" and the other self-worshipping flock hankering after an easy life on the throne.
Second, the GBC must desist from sheltering deviants in their collective last gasp of good old boy cronyism. And, once having cut the umbilicus of parasites sucking the life out of the governing body that, after all, is not theirs but still belongs to the Founder-Acharyadeva, these entrusted deputies must return to their duties of pushing on Krishna consciousness as a family of love and trust.
