Disciple of Hridayananda - bogus guru, sannyasi from Mexico

Chandramukha Swami - 'Moonface'

After we published the note " Chamdramukha Travieso "We have received several emails about the lifestyle of our buddy the" moon face. " These mails received confirm that - in this life - one thing is usually accompanied by another. If you use your laptop computer to visit pornographic sites, this is likely to be accompanied by other anarthas - undesirable habits. Conversely, certain anarthas outside the life of a Vaishnava sannyasi pornography can lead to mischief.

In the case of Chandramukha, we have for example the story of a man from Rio de Janeiro who worked at a dealership and knew the devotees. When the devotees heard about his work, appeared shortly after the "Moon Face" at the dealership, karmi well-dressed, and very interested in buying the best auto auto km zero. Chandramukha separately asked the usual discount for "Krishna devotees." The Lord knew the behavior and attitude that must have a quitter, and he was angry and disappointed that a guru and swami of Iskcon seem to be more interested in new cars in Maya rescue the forgotten souls of Krishna.

What is the conclusion of the story? The "Moon Face" bought the big car, Kilometer Zero, the latest model. And the owner of the car was left scratching his head trying to understand the life of resignation in accordance with the Vedic culture.

Tell me more nice things about me.

Chandramukha is a disciple of Hridayananda. However, in recent years and also he is guru in Brazil and started his own disciples! It is natural to conclude that, in many ways, the "Moon Face" is following in the footsteps of Hridayananda - which unfortunately are not the best.

 

Some "disciples" of Chandramukha pranam praise him with this mantra: "Namaste guru prestaya Hrdayananda padasraye." Chandramukha has taken refuge at the feet of Hridayananda and for that reason is a darling of his guru. Padasraye also means following in the footsteps of Hridayananda. And of course, Hridayananda has a long history of permissive behavior with the ladies, so do not be surprised if Chandramukha is following in his footsteps, you are finished visiting porn sites on the Internet.

And of course, Hridayananda has a long history of permissive behavior with the ladies, so do not be surprised if Chandramukha is following in his footsteps, you are finished visiting porn sites on the Internet.

After this note, we will post another written in English, which chronicles the decline of Hridayananda from the days when Srila Prabhupada was with us today. In this context, is really what we expect from Chandramukha the "Moon Face"? The first has its peccadilloes, and the second has more. Consequently, all in the family, as they support each other and let the party continue. Thus, if Brazil will Hridayananda karmi dress, hugging girls, and gets to play ping-pong, Chandramukha probably never going to question such behavior unworthy of the Vaishnava tradition. Rather, play ping-pong with him, and will seek to justify all the devotees believe how lucky they are beyond being able to witness the occurrences of Hridayananda. Chandramukha never have the moral authority to tell Hridayananda is in Maya.

"I'm a disco dancer"

When it came to light for Param gay you, we learned that 20 years ago Hridayananda had heard about another incident before his predatory homosexual, but protected him and sent him to Europe for everyone to forget about it. Then Hridayananda incident must surely consider his follower pornographic Chandranukha a minor thing, but really is not.

But internet pornography or zero mile auto brand are not the only problems Chandramukha. He blamed his temples closed due to mismanagement, being the most recent one in Sao Paulo.

And "Moon Face" has an artistic streak. I love music, and it shows in which mantras invites musicians to play worldly worldly music in the temples - and collect enough Laksmi. Some of these events have been called "Night of Vraja." For example, the night # 5 included the "Show of Mantras" Tomaz Lima, and the launch of Waldemar Falcao new book entitled "The God of everyone." In another event like the band have 14BIS. In all these events in the temple income is charged for admission. And Chandramukha has released several CDs containing mundane new age.

Also announced Chandramukha books published. But what he does is copy text from Srila Prabhupada, and posts by adding your own words and meanings. Many people believe incorrectly handle the work of Srila Prabhupada, and publish books that are vile and refried whether the originals exist.

And it seems that the "moon face" I love money. We received a report that was once organized a campaign to collect funds needed to pay for surgery to a former devotee of the movement, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada. But Chandramukha was in need of money and decided to steal the funds for the operation and no one knew what he did with them.

Although some previous remarks could be more specific that the information so far received, it does give us evidence of a trend in the habits of Chandramukha: He likes the good life and being surrounded by amenities such as good cars, and that is a reflection of Hridayananda behavior of their guru.

The important issue here is that although Chandramukha want to stand as a charismatic leader and a musical talent, that does not qualify as a lineage guru Srila Prabhupada. George Harrison was a talented musician and sincerity, who served Srila Prabhupada and wrote songs that contained the Maha Mantra. However, their money, their qualities and all the important people who knew not what became a Vaishnava guru or a sannyasi.

Chandramukha not about talent at all Artisit of George Harrison. Go to YouTube and listen to some of the howls that gives there. And even sing like a linnet, and throughout Brazil will follow the rhythm, it does not become a guru or a sannyasi. A sannyasi is essentially a renounced material life, devoted to austerity, spiritual practices, and to preach the message purely transcendental. No material attachments is someone who wants to give a turn "devotion" to continue preserving them. And a guru as Srila Prabhupada, should be on the highest platform of personal spiritual development - which excludes porn pages Chandramukha computer.

The dilution of the dignity of Vaishnava guru within the movement that founded Srila Prabhupada is more evident with Chandramukha, for Iskcon gurus and is licensed as individuals like him, second generation, which obviously does not possess the necessary qualities. The single incident of the laptop containing records of visits to porn sites is enough to understand the parody in which the job has become a guru in Iskcon. But if we add the other anarthas already mentioned here, concerning the worldly tendencies of the "moon face", see the total failure of Iskcon to continue the legacy of Srila Prabhupada.

Chandramukha released a CD called "The Best of Two Worlds." Perhaps this is an indication of their aspirations: To have and have Maya Krishna. On the one hand to participate in the legacy and teachings of great masters in the line vaisnavas disciple of Sri Caitanya - and even presented as a spiritual successor to Srila Prabhupada - while visiting porn sites, produce and play new age music much.

Part 2 - by Radha Krishna das - Sunday, July 11, 2010

 

There you go this, Gurudeva.

The "naughty" by Swami Chandramukha lies not in his powers of ping-pong with Hridayananda when he visits Brazil. It has nothing to do with volleyball games organized by past and represent a doubtful example to the devotees who witness this spectacle.

It is going back to my beloved disciple .

 Rather, it lies Chandramukha naughty porno his errors, making it great Gunagrahi fee disciple, Swami and his porn trailer XXX .

The Hridayananda amiguis Chandramukha and playing volleyball.

But who is Chandramukha? He is one of the first disciples of Hridayananda in Brazil and has worked all his life there. He coordinates the Brazilian BBT, travels around the country, and writes books. However, this does not prevent him from doing mischief detailed below. Although Chandramukha attributed many achievements, he is actually part of the general problem that exists in Iskcon, not the solution. In your case this is due to blind acceptance of Hridayananda, because the result is helping to perpetuate a false and corrupt "gurus" and "sannyasi" that steals dignity to the institution founded by Srila Prabhupada.

The following is a letter sent to Chandramukha compares it with the rumors that have emerged against him. The text is originally in Portuguese.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Chandramukha Dear Swami.

Bows. TLGASP!

This message has been copied to some devotees with representation in the Brazilian Yatra.

Iskcon recently went through strong turbulence, related to events involving the person Prabhu Param Gati.

Now we have a Swami who frequents porn sites!!

Exactly for that reason could not stop to consider the principles of time, place and circumstance to address an issue that I will refer in this message, to make it happen in a beneficial way.

Thus, taking into account the institutional moment we were facing, I felt right not to comment earlier.

Today, seeing that Iskcon Brazil showed maturity to deal with obstacles which are related to one of its most active leaders, are trained enough, I think, to deal with other equally delicate situations.

It is important to clarify that my intention is to ensure the good of the institution founded by Srila Prabhupada, and the good of your own spiritual life, having seen Escelsa position you occupy, with broad representation.

As we know, the life of a devotee of your high hierarchy must be crystal clear as pure water, no obscurities to come and meet your character.

A few months ago there was a serious accusation against you, motivated by verifying a number of records access to pornographic sites from your laptop, a fact revealed by a devotee who had made him - at your request - a maintenance service.

On that occasion, in your preliminary defense to the Executive Committee of CGB, according to information received, you also claims that other people made use of your laptop. The delicate stage in which the yatra Brazilian was still shocked by the announcement of the conduct of Param Gati Prabhu, certainly had weight so that the committee accept the rationale so simplistic that you gave without taking inquiries that come to an effective clarification.

We must also consider the fact that, as you know, there is an institutional norm for devotees who hold positions of leadership, in the sense of avoiding disciples and / or consultants have access to this important piece of work [the leader's computer] containing highly confidential data.

Presented in context and, in my view, at least you should commit to immediately submit a list of those with access to your computer, and that there was an effort to find the alleged offender, so that, properly identified, and being a member of the institution, is reprimanded in an exemplary manner, and at the same time, of course, end up strictly with any questions you have about your behavior.

I'm sure you being a devotee who favors preserving Iskcon and the image of a leader, you will agree that it is not possible to address this issue in a superficial way, and you understand the need to delve deeper into a measure which, again, it is to verify these records accessible on the laptop of a corporate guru.

You have maintained a traditional position as guardian of ISKCON Srila Prabhupada, and therefore I have no doubt you will understand my intentions, and address them proactively.

Haribol!

Sincerely.

Krpa Mahaprabhu das

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

In short, a devotee maintenance on Chandramukha notebook computer, and found there records of visits were made to pornographic Internet sites. When Chandramukha was asked why, he replied that several devotees use their computer and therefore should have been one of them and not him.

From here I'll work on my laptop.

But the author of the letter, das Krpa Mahaprabhu, he doubts that explanation and asked to provide a list of who had access to his computer to investigate and find out who he used to visit those pornography sites. However, it also makes the observation that the leaders are instructed to take good care of their computers due to the sensitivity of the information they contain. This being so, how could anyone get the computer to view porn sites Chandramukha?

Krpa Mahaprabhu das seems to be very gentlemanly and Chandramukha decide to give the benefit of the doubt. However, it is unlikely that others have used computer soul as "sublime" to view pornographic sites. Most likely it was Chandramukha those who visited pornographic sites, but being discovered shirked his responsibility and tried to find scapegoats.

We have seen this behavior when someone is caught repeatedly committing fouls against the regulative principles. To begin with, in my own case - in 1989 - I initially denied the accusations when I was confronted with my slip to the vows of sannyasa. Fortunately I had the good sense to recognize almost immediately. We also got to see this behavior in the chaos of Satsvarupa, Paramgati and many others who put innocent face of an angel to be questioned about their behavior.

The author, Krpa Mahaprabhu says that when the facts came to light, the yatra [program] Brazilian was in the midst of the storm caused by Paramgati. But he is confident that the yatra is strong enough to face the realities that emerge, even very unpleasant.

The important thing here is how he will act Chandramukha. We know he has a career within ISKCON, and that through the years and much effort has been standing with the community iskconiana. Now we have two paths to follow.

The first is to become the innocent and let the storm winds subside. Members, followers and supporters have repeatedly shown Iskcon be short of memory. If you bet Chandramukha that, perhaps in a short time all is forgotten and it appears as if nothing had happened.

However, the problem with this is that is a hoax. If you violated your vows of sannyasi then you do not deserve to stand as one. To insist on calling swami is due solely to the addiction and privileges you have and want to continue operating.

The second way is to stop being officially sannyasi to preserve the dignity of so lofty that lineage and that in fact they are. The service has been doing Chandramukha can continue without the false title of sannyasi. There is no impediment to it. Only the attachment, the false ego and deceit motivate him to continue presenting himself as something that is not.

Chandramukha could also demonstrate, as Krpa Mahaprabhu asked, that was someone else who used his computer devotional for internet porn sites. As the devotees who had access to that computer could also more easily use other computers to view pornographic sites, it is unlikely then that have used the laptop to Chandramukha to view internet porn.

Krishna Kanta Desai - selfappointed bogus IRM member

Krishna Kanta Desai = KK = Kaw Kaw - writes bogus IRM POSITION papers

 

From Pada Newsletter April 16, 2005

IRM SNAFU (BIF)

RE: Krishna Kanta = KK = Kaw Kaw
Dear PADA, Hare Krishna. PAMHO. All Glories to His Divine Grace.
We have been meaning to thank you for keeping us up to date with your NL's, but it was difficult due to moving into new premises and having problems with securing an internet connection. Anyway, thanks. Yes we have read the article by Kaw Kaw (IRM), which was published under the name of another one of his split personalities - Pyaju Raj (the onion king). Previously he would write under the name - Adridharana, but when the cops started chasing the real Adridharana, KK found himself another subjected spoof. He is more twisted than a corkscrew in a tornado. Anyway, in sympathy with his Attention Deficit Disorder, and in full knowledge that Kaw Kaw hangs onto every word in the PADA newsletter, we will tap out a short counter.
[PADA: Yes, it is true that Krishna Kanta Desai has been writing the IRM's "position papers," plagazing (ok stealing) most of his material from old PADA, Karnamrita, Rupa Vilas, Sulochana and VVR articles written in the 1980s, while not giving any credit to the original authors, and then signing these papers as "Adridharana dasa." That is because Adri had some credibility perhaps, while everyone knows that Krishna Kanta is a newbie to all this. And yes, now that Adri is in his own legal trouble, this has foiled the IRM's plan to forward Adri as their main credible spokesman. Perhaps all this is coming to a head now that Adri's legal problems are growing. In any case, this has created the impression that the IRM makes things up, falsifies signatures and documents, i.e. they are plagarizers and liars.]
* BIF: Although he side-stepped our allegations of sensational reporting to facilitate debate in his comfort zone, he did what we expected, and that is to open himself up. His article, basically, was the same old same old "Kaw Kaw is a clever crow" nonsense, with the same old "did not defeat my points" drivel. We did our best to explain things to him, it is not our fault that he has a cranium density problem. So in all honesty we will not even pretend to address any of his "points". Instead, his reduction to absurdity will make him easier understood.
[PADA: The real problem is that Krishna Kanta Desai can be defeated by any five year old child who speaks hindi, since any child knows that a poison complaint is being uttered by Srila Prabhupada. Kaw Kaw Desai keeps saying "there is no proof," while all other hindi speakers, including those only five years old, say "there is proof." So, Kaw Kaw is "not accepting proof," that is another thing. Worse (for the IRM), many more people are accepting, and as the IRM lumbers along like a tortise in a stupor more and more folks move on board with the issue. Naturally, this makes people think some of the IRM bosses are either fools or GBC spies/ plants and so on.]
* BIF: First, Kaw Kaw gives us two reasons why a professional investigation into Srila Prabhupada's poisoning should not be undertaken. Just see: 1) At best remove less than a handful of Gurus from their positions (those allegedly involved as accessories to the crime, with the chief suspect Tamal Krishna Goswami having already died), leaving the vast majority to carry on their unauthorized practices.
[PADA: Yes, Jesus was crucified, but why acknowlege that? This will only implicate Judas and Pontius Pilate, yet how will that enhance the position of the IRM leaders? Better that we re-write history, and make pretend no poisoning happened. Thanks Saksi ji, yes this is the root issue, the IRM has no concern for the poisoning of the pure devotee, unless they can benefit by getting some political mileage out of it. This is what they told us right out of the box, "The IRM cannot endorse the poison issue for political reasons." The pure devotee is not important, politics is important.]
2) Be proven at the risk of disturbing Srila Prabhupada's Samadhi (sacred burial place) to carry out an autopsy. An act most of his disciples would find completely unacceptable.
[PADA: Yes, because the IRM is downplaying the evidence PADA and BIF are forwarding, the IRM are the ones trying to force an exhumation, as many folks pointed out. The IRM is the exact party demanding "further proof" i.e. the IRM is the exact party de facto demanding an exhumation.]
* In the first point we see- Kaw Kaw believes that exposing Srila Prabhupada's murderers would only be justified if it facilitated a coup. He shows no love for His Divine Grace, nor the slightest affinity for truth or justice. To him, Srila Prabhupada's Society is nothing more than a political arena in which his miserable existence could score some brownies. In the second point we immediately recognise the sensationalism with which this hack promotes his distortions. Just like his GBC bosses, Kaw Kaw persists with the paradox of "no evidence" but attempts to thwart the investigation with the old GBC scare-mongering - "they may exhume." Where do these clowns get the idea that the Indian judiciary, or any judiciary for that matter, whimsically allocates government funds for such purposes? Is it any wonder that the IRM has gone RIP? An exhumation is not the prerogative of claimants, it is ordered by the judiciary based on evidence which demands conclusion.
[PADA: And it is the IRM whom are the ones demanding further evidence, i.e. the IRM wants to force an exhumation.]
* Secondly, had the GBC in 1977 carried out desiderata, we would never have reached this juncture.
[PADA: Yep, and had Adridharana dasa notified all of us about the poison complaint in 1977, almost none of the GBC's crimes could have occured because the rank and file devotees would have become suspect of their whole guru appointment. And "the poison case" would have been investigated close to the time of the crime, with much more viable and readily available evidences. Adridharana is one of the main persons who thwarted things to the point where he now de facto says, "Well, why are we not exhuming, since I hid the whole thing for so long"? He hides the evidence, and then he says, "Well, you may have to search further since I hid the whole thing for so long, and would have hid it forever if I could have got away with that," and he is PROUD he messed the whole case up from square one!]
* Thirdly, had the GBC subsequently accepted onus (it is their responsibility, really) the plaintiffs would not be exposed, as they are to time, expense, and cult psychosis. Fourthly, the liability of exhumation may never arise unless evidence is solid, and where suspects persist in denial.
[PADA: Umm, you mean like Adridharana, who is persisting in denial despite he origianlly said that there was a poison complaint and he was alarmed by it?]
* In any case, a government investigation should be carried out to establish the truth. Truth is above all else. So we will say to the crow what we have said to his handlers - Albeit your chicanery may excite party-liners into seeing fault where there is none i.e., it is an offence perpetrated by the plaintiffs; the laws of God and mammon are more holistic and all-encompassing than the law of carrion crow.
[PADA: Exactly, we have asked both the GBC and Adridharana and his IRM to help us pursue this case through the proper channels, and notice, they refuse to help, since they do not want the truth to come out.]
* In the quest for clarification, we need to perch Kaw Kaw on one tiring lie: why does he persistently claim that BIF has directly accused certain members of the GBC of poisoning Srila Prabhupada? We have requested him to show us where we have done this, instead he again stated in a recent IRM newsletter - ".... BIF launching an endless campaign that Srila Prabhupada was poisoned by certain members of the GBC....". Only a bird-brain would believe that BIF will expose members to litigation. Anyone can see that our reports are generously peppered with words like "alleged" and "suspect". And these suspicions, understandably, are placed among those who were there at the time and profited by the tragedy.
[PADA: Unfortunately, one of the main group of people who profited from the tragedy were the elites, ok people like the IRM's Adridharana dasa, who became the darling of the GBC as one of their biggest leaders from 1977 - 1997. As a result of Adri being in the room at the time of the poisoning, and his failure to report and/or take action upon hearing the poison complaint, he has implicated -- himself. Nevermind that, Adridharana is implicated in countless crimes that went on from 1977 - 1997 when he was the biggest henchman for one of the worst criminals, Jayapataka swami.]
* Further, our reasons for suspicion have been clearly referenced. Besides, as far as we know, Bhavananda is not a GBC member, nor is Bhakti Caru, nor was Tamal prior to his death, nor is Satadhanya. The only GBC member mentioned among our suspects is Jayapataka, who we believe to be Kaw Kaw's handler, and one of the reasons for Kaw Kaw's convolutions. Our bone with the GBC is that considering the evidence presented in professional conclusions, they have not accepted onus. The BIF mission is to initiate an investigation to establish the truth. Whether we are right or wrong in our suspicions, it is yet to be decided. However, unlike the IRM, who were legally exterminated by the GBC but continue to moan like ghosts from a grave, BIF will feel great relief if proved wrong.
[PADA: Again, the problem here is that due to the malefic behaviors of the GBC, including molesting, banning, beating and murdering the devotees of Srila Prabhupada, many now suspect that they would have ill-treated the father (Srila Prabhupada) the same way they ill-treated his children, and thus many folks accept that a poisoning of Srila Prabhupada would perfectly conform to all their other subsequent post-1977 actions. "It (the poison complaint) makes sense," is the comment we hear repeated all the time.]
* Just another point, or enigma if you like, before dispelling the crow and his IRM ghost: In his latest caw on the IRM newsletter we are told in reply to our disclosure that Kaw Kaw never goes to worship Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, Bangalore- "Of course the fact that KK lives nowhere near a temple is not mentioned by BIF." This is indeed a startling revelation from someone living in India, where temples are everywhere. But the most enigmatic twist in this statement is that the crow designates Bangalore Mandir as the IRM "Head Quarters," yet the IRM 'top brass' does not go there. We find it very difficult to understand how Madhu Pandit Prabhu,(IRM CHAIRMEN) who is one of the most dedicated disciples of Srila Prabhupada on the planet today, and the architect of elaborate worship to Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, can allow the Temple and Deities to be used in this way. Furthermore, when we read in the latest IRM newsletter that Adridharana Das is still an active member of the IRM: "...and if all that were not enough, for good measure throws in an attack on Adridharana Das too (another member of the IRM)!" we must ask Madhu Pandit Prabhu why he chooses to associate his seva, the reputation of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, and his own reputation, with lying sensationalists and fugitives from the law?
[PADA: Yep, if Krishna Kanta lives near the temple, and almost never attends, that is what most of the GBC's gurus are doing? Sometimes they might show up for some show bottle performance, just like KK does. And if Adri is wanted by the police, and he is being hidden as a fugitive from justice by Madhu Pandit, then this implicates Madhu Pandit and the whole Bangalore project.]

Thank You, Jaya Srila Prabhupada! BIF

Krishna Kanta Divides the Church

RE: Krishna Kanta = KK = Kaw Kaw

Hare Krishna Pada Editor and Readers, Dandavats. All Glories to His Divine Grace.

We are looking with interest at the latest publication of the Back to Krishna Kant (Kaw Kaw) magazine that has found its way to our notice. What we discover is a split; a split that could prove, undoubtedly, a major move in the right direction for the stagnant ritvik movement.

Under the heading- "Set up your own matha/society", page 5 section 3, Kaw Kaw's makes this startling revelation- "Also, but not always, another feature of this system is that the 'GBC/ritviks/Temple Presidents' are collapsed into one single person or group of persons controlled by one person, who will then act as a self-appointed 'ritvik acarya' to dispense 'ritvik initations' like confetti to anyone and everyone. This allows the 'ritvik acarya' to promote himself as the 'giver of initiation' (rather like the bogus gurus do), and hence take on some status vis-a-vis those seeking initiation 'from Srila Prabhupada'.

[PADA: What is clear here is that Krishna Kanta Desai has as much contempt for Srila Prabhupada's ritvik system as he does for the GBC's guru system. Worse, KKD wanted us to help him populate his version of the ritvik system with the poisoners of Prabhupada in 1997. He wanted us to help him convert the GBC's bogus gurus into the IRM's "new ritviks. So he wanted to make the self-appointed gurus into self-appointed ritviks and compromise with the evil doers, because he self-appointed himself as the emporer of the ritvik proposal from Srila Prabhupada. And when we did not agree to support his good ole GBC guru boys as our new saviors, KKD said "lets go to war against PADA." So he wanted to divide the Church, as the Bible says, "Those who will divide my church are the servants of Beelzebub." ]

BIF: Now isn't that a revelation? We know that the GBC have unanimously rejected the ritvik system, so the GBC referred to by Kaw Kaw is simply a cloak under which he hides a dagger. No members of the GBC perform ritvik initiations. So who is the dagger for? When we look at the reference to 'ritviks' and 'Temple Presidents', Kaw Kaw's targets becomes apparent, and the split for which many have waited, is revealed.

Where on this planet are "ritviks/Temple Presidents" performing initiations on behalf of Srila Prabhupada? The only ritviks or Temple Presidents, or ritvik Temple Presidents that we know of are Madhu Pandit Prabhu, Temple President of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra Mandir, Bangalore, and Sundar Gopal Prabhu, Temple President of Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan Mandir, Singapore. Surely this cannot be true! we hear you cry. After all, these devotees, along with Kaw Kaw, were leaders of the IRM/ritvik movement. Yes this is true, but it appears that Madhu Pandit Prabhu has had enough of Kaw Kaw's stagnant philosophy, which is taking the movement back to Kaw Kaw rather than forward to Srila Prabhupada. Also, a devotee can only take so much. Kaw Kaw's mind-set: slippers, short pants, dirty bead-bag, garbled mantras, lack of saddhana and Mars Bar munching, has taken its toll on close associates and well-wishers alike. Like in current Iskcon; only the mushrooms remain.

However, none of this has phased Kaw Kaw. As we have explained in earlier posts, his cranium density problem allows him to convert fact into fiction and unabashed self-praise, like in these excerpts from his recently published Back to Kaw Kaw magazine. What we must understand when reading the excerpts, is that Kaw Kaw is publishing quotes of one GBC voted-in guru (Sankarsana das) to praise himself; the very mob he has damned as liars, cheats and charlatans. But does this stop the crow from cawing? Apparently not.

"It seems as if even the ISKCON Gurus can't help but praise BTP (Back to Kaw Kaw) and it's editor (Kaw Kaw), as the quotes from one ISKCON Guru below reveal: ".....I have to admit I share the same disgusted feelings that Krishna Kant has in this regard." "It's especially nice that Krishna Kant has agreed to join our discussion. He is no doubt one of the most powerful spiritual leaders on the planet today...[....]...Krishna Kant and I have had such a long-standing correspondence relationship that he has become for me just like an old friend. I have no doubt learned a lot about proper Vaisnava dealing through my association with him, and I feel that I can continue to grow as a Vaisnava through my association with him..[...]...If he and I were physically in the same room right now I would give him a warm hug." "Krishna Kant is a powerful leader there is no doubt. Because he is chanting Hare Krishna I also accept that he is spiritual."

We do not know this Sankarsan das, but it would not surprise us one iota to discover that he is a homosexual with the hots for Kaw Kaw. After all, it is common knowledge that ISKCON's ecclesiastical head is riddled with perversion. The wacky statements above also tie in with our belief that Kaw Kaw was, and to a lesser degree, still is, a Jayapataka mole, supported and paid for by the GBC to derail the ritvik movement, and to finger those among them that they cannot publicly do themselves; as he is doing to Sankarsana das by making his quotes pubic.

In regards to being a powerful leader... intelligent devotees saw through Kaw Kaw much earlier in the piece. He lost support no sooner than he was put under scope. And, as this article reveals, it seems that those powerful friends who persistently put faith in the possibility of Kaw Kaw's reformation, have finally decided to abandon that hope.

In an effort to promote himself as champion, Kaw Kaw made the same mistake as did most of the now extinct former leaders of ISKCON: they attempted to use Srila Prabhupada as a stepping-stone. In the end they became hard-hearted, rigid and regimented; traits that are often mistaken for religious fervour; traits that are glaringly visible in Kaw Kaw's persona. Sri Krishna is the ability in man, and service to Him through regular worship of Bhagavata can pierce the knot within the heartt. Kaw Kaw must now seriously consider allocating time to his spiritual betterment, as we suggested to him earlier. As paramatma within the heart, Bhagavan can see and know all things. Therefore Kaw Kaw must please Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga through devotional service, then he will not need quotes from GBC certified 'gurus' to convince us of his Krishna consciousness and leadership qualities. We will know it from paramatma within the heart. "An age is called Dark, not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it." YS BIF

[PADA: Krishna Kanta wanted us to drop the poison issue in 1997. That means he has no concern for the poison complaint from the pure devotee. He is outside of the loop of Prabhupadanugas for this reason, he has no love for His Divine Grace because he sides with his attackers. Ys pd]

Harinam Diksha Ceremonies held in Srila Prabhupada’s Temples

Vrindavan, Bangalore, Chennai, Mysore and Hubli, On March 19th 2011

It was a very emotional and historic day for all followers of Srila Prabhupada, as hundreds of them formally accepted him as their diksha guru. The formal diksha ceremony was held in Hare Krishna centres of Bangalore, Mysore, Hubli, Vrindavan and Chennai. The respective Presidents of the temples conducted the harinam diksha and second initiation ceremonies.

The ceremony consisted of each of the devotees taking an oath in front of Srila Prabhupada’s deities that they will follow the four regulative principles and chant at least sixteen rounds of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra daily. Following which each of them were given japa beads which were already chanted on by the GBC appointed rtviks and the temple presidents announced the initiated disciples’ names declaring to all present that these devotees were accepted formally as disciples of His Divine Grace.

This was followed by a Vaishnava homa, fire sacrifice which was performed by the devotees of temple with the respective presidents presiding over it. All devotees participated with great enthusiasm in the kirtan which followed the fire sacrifice. Kirtans in the temple were always ecstatic but todays’ kirtan was more ecstatic because of the fact that all of them had formally accepted the shelter of the lotus feet of a pure devotee.

One of the highlight of this time was that about 3 devotees from Russia, headed by Krishna Kirtan Prabhu, also formally took harinam diksha and accepted Srila Prabhupada as their spiritual master.

The ceremony was preceded by a short discourse given by each of the temple presidents, in which they explained the significance of the ceremony.

Following is an excerpt of the address given by Sri Madhupandit dasa, President ISKCON Bangalore:

Today is a historic day for the followers of Srila Prabhupada. As we all know, after Srila Prabhupada’s physical departure, his direction on how initiation has to be conducted was not followed. As an institution at large, a new deviant system was followed, and is still being followed in the other ISKCON temples.

Only in 1998-99, we the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore became aware of the actual directions given by Srila Prabhupada in the form of an institutional directive of July 9th, 1977 where he had directed that he will still remain the diksha guru giving initiations with the eleven devotees he appointed acting as ritviks or representatives of the acaryas.

But in ISKCON at large, the eleven had started acting as diksha gurus without authorization by Srila Prabhupada. And since some of the eleven had fallen away from spiritual path, the GBCs had appointed several more diksha gurus, once again without authorization from Srila Prabhupada.

After we became aware of all these deviations, we asserted that we shall follow the directions of Srila Prabhupada in the matter of initiations and as you are all aware has led to litigations, and Srila Prabhupada has mercifully protected us all along.
There was yet another deviation that the ISKCON temples all over the world have become guilty of. Srila Prabhupada had given a written document in 1970 called the Direction of Management for the formation and functioning of the GBCs.

According to this document, the GBCs have to be for a period of three years and should be reelected once every three years by the body of Temple Presidents.  ISKCON has not been conducting the elections of the GBCs.

Considering all these, in the year 2008, the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore group, who had, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, set up separate centers in India with about 17 Temple Presidents, conducted elections and appointed a ten member GBC for our group of devotees.
Further, a few months back, GBC body passed a resolution that the GBC body shall appoint the rtviks for the purpose of performing initiations.

This important resolution for appointment of rtviks was also ratified by all the devotees in the temples through a referendum.
The GBC body has passed a resolution recently that all the current members of GBC will act as the Ritviks. And to avoid any misunderstanding or creation of incorrect trends in the community of devotees, it has also been decided that even though every word of July 9th directive is followed in letter and spirit in initiating devotees, the particular ritvik for a particular devotee being initiated shall not be disclosed.

All the devotees must understand that Srila Prabhupada is their diksha guru and they should serve his mission through the institutional arrangement of temples, temple devotees, Temple President and GBCs.

All the devotees present here today for the Initiation ceremony, on this auspicious day of Gaura Purnima 2011, have been recommended by the respective Temple Presidents and they are taking eternal shelter of Srila Prabhupada as his disciple agreeing to chant 16 rounds everyday and follow four regulative principles.

Praying for Srila Prabhupada’s mercy to give us protection and guidance to conduct his sacred mission, let us conduct today’s initiation for the first time in the history of ISKCON, according to Srila Prabhupada’s own direction given in the July 9th 1977 directive.
Each of the devotees taking the diksha took an oath as given below:

Dear Srila Prabupada,

Please give me eternal shelter at your lotus feet and accept me as your disciple.

1.    I agree to chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha-mantra everyday throughout my life.

2.    I agree to follow 4 regulative principles throughout my life. The 4 regulative principles are

a.    No meat eating

b.    No intoxication

c.    No gambling

d.   No illicit sex.
