Ravindra Svarupa das & GBC
BY: SATYAHIT DASA
Jan 6, USA (SUN) — Ravindra Svarupa's recent article concerning New Vrindaban and Radhanath Swami was thoroughly shredded into negative bits by Rocana prabhu, while Ananda Swarupa dasa utilized the broad picture of ISKCON's negative history after the departure of Srila Prabhupada to dismantle Ravindra Svarupa's letter of glorification of ISKCON's GBC, Radhanath Swami and Tirtha das. We further applaud Ananda Svarupa for his most wonderful article in glorification of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and the great lineage that He appeared in. This small but magnificent piece of glorification of Srila Prabhupada is part of the real Lilamrita of Srila Prabhupada.
Ravindra Svarupa states that some people blame others or the GBC for their own lack of Krsna consciousness, but in reality this is only possible in some cases where the individuals are dangerously psychopathically disturbed. In the case of Rocana and Ananda Svarupa prabhu, along with many others, the fault finding of the GBC is extremely objective thinking having nothing to do with the authors' lack of Krsna consciousness. Actually others, or the GBC, cannot in reality impede anyone's Krsna consciousness. The GBC cannot really interfere with any jiva's relationship with God. Of course, this is known to Ravindra Svarupa, but we spose he wants to make his case clear that anyone who fault finds the GBC joins the lineage of Ramachandra Puri, who even deeply criticized Lord Caitanya Himself. He critiized God. Perhaps Ravindra Svarupa is likening criticism of the GBC to fault finding God.
Anyway, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and his sincerely intelligent and independent devotees. Perhaps one day the sincere youth or guru kuli's may take over ISKCON and run it as it was with Srila Prabhupada. Any administration which accepts the petty changes to Srila Prabhupada's words, hence books, should immediately be fired from any position of authority, along with the word changers.
Some say the GBC and ISKCON gurus pretending to be the same as Srila Prabhupada will die off naturally and that the sincere guru kuli's may take over, but that remains to be seen since the present administration has such a strong grip on the assets of ISKCON.
