Dear prabhu's please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Welcome to Volume 9 of our newsletter KICK ON HIS FACE. It's goal is to make counter propaganda against all kinds of bogus personalities and their philosophies. By making counter propaganda people are protected from being misled. If we remain silent, that means we are accepting bogus philosophy. Your servant Sanat dasa

THE PARENTS ARE TO BLAME
==========================
1. Similarly the
messengers (Yamadutas) will deal very seriously
with neglectful guardians.
TRANSLATION
The brahmanas, the cows and the defenseless creatures are My
own body. Those whose faculty of judgment has been impaired by
their own sin look upon these as distinct from Me. They are
just like furious serpents, and they are angrily torn apart by
the bills of the vulturelike messengers of Yamaraja, the
superintendent of sinful persons.
PURPORT
The defenseless creatures, according to Brahma-samhita, are the
cows, brahmanas, women, children and old
men. Of these five, the brahmanas and cows are especially
mentioned in this verse because the Lord is always anxious about
the benefit of the brahmanas and the cows and is prayed to in
this way. The Lord especially instructs, therefore, that no one
should be envious of these five, especially the cows and
brahmanas. In some of the Bhagavatam readings, the word duhitrh
is used instead of duhatih. But in either case, the meaning is
the same. Duhatih means "cow," and duhitrh can also be
used to mean "cow" because the cow is supposed to be
the daughter of the sun-god. Just as children are taken
care of by the parents, women as a class should be
taken care of by the father, husband or grown-up son. Those who
are helpless must be taken care of by their respective
guardians, otherwise the guardians will be subjected to
the punishment of Yamaraja, who is appointed by the
Lord to supervise the activities of sinful living creatures. The
assistants, or messengers, of Yamaraja are likened here to
vultures, and those who do not execute their respective
duties in protecting their wards are compared to serpents. Vultures
deal very seriously with serpents, and similarly the
messengers will deal very seriously with neglectful guardians.

2. CHILD ABUSE :
THE PARENTS ARE TO BLAME
My
dear Arundhati,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated July 19, 1972, and I am simply surprised that you want to give up your child to some other persons, even they are also devotees. For you, child-worship is more important than deity-worship. If you cannot spend time with him, then stop the duties of pujari. At least you must take good care of your son until he is four years old, and if after that time you are unable any more to take care of him then I shall take care. These children are given to us by Krishna, they are Vaisnavas and we must be very careful to protect them. These are not ordinary children, they are Vaikuntha children, and we are very fortunate we can give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness. That is very great responsibility, do not neglect it or be confused. Your duty is very clear. Hoping this will meet you in good health.
Your
ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Hare Krishna prabhus,pamho agtsp. i'm glad to see my letters
to
pratyatosa das have catalyzed so much discussion,world-wide,practically overnight. seems that a nerve has been touched,hmmm? whenever we show Srila Prabhupada's beautiful letter to Mother Arundhati from 1972,people are astonished as to how so many people could pretend not to know how corrupt the leadership was ,and to ignore reality and risk their children's lives by putting them in the hands of perfect strangers! Prabhus,i can only speak from my experience;if Puranjan and others wish to speak from a position of theory or so-called authority,that's their business (with all due respect) but i cannot blindly acquiesce to their-or anybody's-dogmatic or authoritarian conception,as Sri Gurudeva has instructed me voluminously to be "very cautious in accepting anything". His Divine Grace showed by precept and especially example that nothing and no one is to be blindly accepted,or accepted on whim. Srila Prabhupada,for instance,gave ample warnings regarding the lamentable sate of the Gadia Matha following the demise of His great Guru Maharaja in 1936,and the history is well known by any true disciple of HDG--as it is well explicated in Caitanya Caritamrta,in letters,conversations,etc.,etc. Srila /Prabhupada has made no secret that his Godbrothers,for the most part,succumbed to scoundrelism,at least just after His GuruMaharaja's Disappearance,thus it's not quite in order that our exalted Godbrother,Puranjana dasa would suggest that isgone could cleverly (or any other way) pull off the same scheme. Perhaps puranjana (pd) feels guilty that he didn't himself speak out against the attackers of Srila Prabhupada back in the 70s when they were attacking Srila Prabhupada and His movement? Whatever the case,it's not sane to suggest that a "devotee" is someone so easily duped as to follow people who identically mimic a group of spiritual deviants--and even build on said deviation--just after consulting with such useless aparadhis at their guru-killing headquarters! pd states in his April 13 news bull-a-tin that as early as 1972 so-called devotees were attempting to illegally usurp Prabhupada's mission for their own diabolical plan. (Interesting also is that SP's letter to Arundhati is from the same year...?) Now pd's own description smacks to me of treason,HIGH treason. So,why does pd then speciously posit just after this revelation that "parents molested children" were not implicated or "to blame" for their poor progenies plight until the mid eighties 'sometime' when it became ok to (start thinking?) think something might be a-miss?--and that only because the press themselves could easily see through the wizard of ozkcon's thin veil to their corrupt innercore? that rotten to the (inner) core apple of their highanuses? What gives pilgrims? in 1972 the gbc was disbanded by Srila Prabhupad Himself;WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANY RATIONAL,AUTONOMOUS INDIVIDUAL,DEVOTEE,HUMAN BEING,WHATEVER AND WHOMEVER, EVER TRUST THESE BACK-STABBING,PRABHUPADA-BETRAYING SCOUNDRELS AGAIN?!?!? now,pd states that these raksasas were at it as early as 1972,but why does he omit that the first real conspiracy to KILL GURU AND BECOME GURU took place in July,1967,one year after HDG incorporated /his fledgling Matchless Gifts Movement? Yeah,that's the one where ole Currottenananda (Keith hamasura) tried to become more than his spiritual master,and was subsequently exposed as a "Bellevue resident". So,plenty of people knew about this conspiracy;plenty knew also that several others secretly supported kd's renegade activities,such as Satsvaloosa,brahmanda,etc. (and the general conspiracy to usurp funds and NEVER print Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is in its UNABRIDGED FORM,a thing which both exasperated and depressed Srila Prabhupada byHis own admission. (Note: Bg wasn't published like that until 1972--whoah,there's that year AGAIN!--and it was finally published by Macmillan...1972!-seven years after HDG came to the west to preach the Gita in English! And,again,judge a thing by the result:when the JayadweightAswami/SatsHebhutawhole/RavandraDEADwiler-contingent finally got their snakeskins on Bhagavad-gita in 1984--that famous Orwellian year!--the nectarine milk-ambrosia which had sublimelly emanated from the lotus lips of Sri Prabhupada-Vyasa-Krishna Dasa was immediately transformed into poison by those rogue's snakelip-touch. Their orwellian doublespeak was a curse for the universe,and the world has handily gone to perdition ever since... so the conspiracy began from the time these unreliable,self-serving,duplicitous registers 'joined' the movement to disrupt the pure devotee's preaching. Their intent was to hinder Prabhupada's mission,the whole while angling and manoeuvring for supremacy,this could've been seen by anybody who cared to only Deify the beautiful Personality of Srila Prabhupada,and hear His perfect words,act on them without,passion,prejudice or mental speculation....Prabhupada later pointed out that at least His own godbros waited until their Spiritual Master Departed before they began to carve up His Body (and feast?),but the SDoG/Kd/RS/TKillerG/Han Scarry-contingent couldn't wait at least for their Guru Maharaja to return to Krsnaloka before they started carving up iskcon for their own gratification.... If it was known that these people both individually and collectively were deviating quite significantly so early on,if it was known that in 1972 the gbc was suspended by HDG,if it was known that Srila Prabhupada Acarya expressly warned everybody about the debacle of the Gaudia math,and how its leaders were compared to Ravana even in the /fifth /Canto Bhagwatam,if it was known that SP didn't want the same mess introduced in His camp---yet it was known that Kd,etc. had already attempted such introduction of false acarya worship even in Prabhupada's presence,and if it was known that Prabhupada's "DEparture" was very strange,that HDG had summoned all Hs disciples to ?Vrindaban in Nov.,1977 and that key gbc had wilfully intercepted,reinterpreted said messages,and prevented everyone from coming,then WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE PLACE A SPECK OF FAITH IN SUCH SUSPECT PERSONALITIES WHEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THEY CAME OUT WITH SOME LAME BUNCH OF CRAP ABOUT HOW PRABHUPADA (FULLY CONTRADICTING HIMSELF,AS THOUGH HE WERE AN ORDINARY SENILE OLD FOOL?) HAD MIRACULOUSLY BENEDICTED THESE (WANNABE) 'SAINTS' TO BE THE PURE DEVOTEE MESSIAHS OF THE UNIVERSE? AND WE'RE TO BELIEVE THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE not responsible for ignoring all caution,all of the wide body of Prabhupad's instructions,all the evidence about the GM,etc,etc.,and accept such unadulterated nonsense,and furthermore,that such a vox populi mass of fools would be free from reaction even if they were stupid enough to EVEN IMPERIL their OWN PROGENY by sending them into the waiting arms of the kirtananda child-swallowing band of hogs and dogs? Prabhupada said: "because you have no bread,therefore you shall eat rocks??? Is that sane???" [Prabhupada REALLY said that,just the way it is written here.] Actually,the disciples were never without bread,because they always had Prabhupada's books,and even each other to consult with regarding application of Prabhupada's instructions,and chastisement of those who wish to kill guru and become goru. So,no,we cannot accept pd's/pada's un-sane rationalization which conveniently allows people to blame others for their own stupidity,and abandoning of their children. we can cite innumerable evidences to support the Prabhupada-conscious conclusion. for example,HDG,when referring to cheating gurus in general,and gurumaharaji in particular,exclaimed how the false gurus themselves were such fools,but how much more foolish were the westerners to be willingly fooled by them,and to accept their nonsensical teaching. So,tkg&co. are fools,but we are far greater fools for accepting them as successors to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna,not only blindly,but worse,after Prabhupada spent so much of His blood to warn us not to go back to hell. Now we have hell due to our own superlative foolishness,and rather than confess our fault,we like to say these roguish ghuls in isgone are to blame. no,fool,you made your own bed,now lie in it! you are yourself to blame for diving in a shallow creek to cool yourself off! If you go to rascals for treatment,don't yell so loudly when the rascal's prescription worsens your condition! if the bona fide physician is ignored,then after he's kindly and patiently written and re-written the same prescriptions OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN,then why do you now howl so after taking the advice from some quack? is that sane? (and,of course others wish to even blame the physician himself,like some of the mislead gurucoolies,and especially the so-called leaders,who,rather than admit that they have wilfully cheated everybody raped and abused children and covered it up (and,of course,also murdered their spiritual physician,Srila Prabhupada Himself),go to the state-supported 'Sociologist'--E.Burke Rogueford,and the state press ministry (New York Times/Larry Goodstein) and say:"Yeah ! Prabhupada's program was too austere,and we had to relieve ourselves the only way we knew how,..what can we say? It's sad but true,we did our best,Prabhupada made us gurus,he made a mistake,he asked us to distribute his books too much,we got stressed,we raped kids,his instructions are to blame..." So the parents--the primary caregivers,KNEW or SHOULD HAVE KNOW how untrustworthy the so-called gbc was,and therefore,if they themselves weren't prepared to submit THEMSELVES fully prostrated at the gbc'gurus' "lotus feet",say thousands of miles away in some 3rd world country or wherever),and totally at the whims of such characters (and their unknown--and always changing--underlings),then WHY WOULD THEY SUBJECT THEIR OWN 'BELOVED' "GOD-SENT CHILDREN" TO THESE FOLKS??? they themselves wouldn't have surrendered on such a total level to such questionable dudes--people who conceivably would only have rocks to offer,and not bread--so how could these alleged parents possibly have justified doing so with their defenceless children? isn't this tantamount (as per SP's July,'72 Letter to Arundhati) to "neglect" and child abandonment" Wasn't "unwanted progeny/varna sankara" one of the main things Srila Prabhupada warned us about in the BhaGAVAD-GITA? AREN'T THESE 'PARENTS' WHO GAVE UP THEIR CHILDREN TO OTHER PERSONS "EVEN THEY BE DEVOTEES" THE SAME ONES WHO LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AS JAYADEMONCOOL&FRIENDS RE-EDITED PRABHUPADA'S PERFECT SCRIPTURE TO CONFORM TO THEIR OWN IDEOLOGY,NAMELY THAT THE MOTHER AND FATHER SHOULD BE SEPARATED,THE WIFE SHOULD TREAT THE GURU AS HUSBAND,THE FATHER SHOULD BE FREE TO ENJOY UNLIMITED UNRESTRCTED SEX,AND THE KIDS COULD GROW UP TO BE FIRST CLASS JAGHAI/MADHAI TYPES? isn't there a purport in 5th canto where SP talks about this cheating paradigm,and compares such societies to monkey societies,and calls their culture a "sex cult"? So,in essence,aren't these so-called parents whom pd wishes to so facilely excused (while he goes on and on describing the sordid details of Bhavanada's semen-swallowing lilas,ad nauseum),the very ones who have mainly (by omission,eve?) given the green light to the cretins he so avidly exposes? Aren't these parents the very ones to this day acquiescing to the tkg crowd by avoiding confrontation,lawsuits,etc.? And that the only reason ANYTHING HAS BEEN DONE in challenging the corrupt isgone leadershit is because the 'children' themselves came of age and finally stared speaking out? so how long do we have to let the main supporters of child abuse (namely the parents/pita na sajyat) OFF THE HOOK? If pd says it's the mid-'80s,we should accept such unsupportable idea? Hey! i spoke conclusively in 1993 that tkg had murdered Prabhupada;and this information was shared with pd;does that mean he wasn't innocent from that point till July '97 when he finally took my message seriously? So,what,if someone (say the parents of gurucoolies) wants to keep head in sand for 10,16,35 years,that means there's no reaction? We have to wait for sulocana's brains to get splattered before we ONLY BEGIN to wake up and see there's a bit of a problem in paradise? If pd says so,only? i don't think so! not when children's lives are at stake & the future of the hare Krishna movement. you go risk you own life (when your 2-3 feet tall?) in hands of larry gardner-snake,and these other child eating witches and hobgoblins,then we'll see if you have the right to subject another soul to such 'austerity'. let's tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth,ok folks?;otherwise,it's just another cult,and you're trying to be the next PADA in line to be worshipped. and everyone has to explain their position--and NOT capriciously--from the viewpoint of sastra. no cheating and sentimental speculation. keep in mind that Prabhupada's listening,and ALL MOTIVES ARE BEING MONITORED BY THE GOD'S THANKS FOR TIME. please forgive my unintentional offenses. my goal is only to purify myself;because after all Srila Prabhupada said the devotee is his own worst enemy. i am no exception. i am myself a gurukiller,because i sin on strength of chanting. even in 1997 N.Y. RY festival ravinedra svaroop pointed out (on videotape) :"there's nothing poison here but your little mind!" i accept that,and i'll admit it here for the record: my mind is the most poisonous thing i have personal experience of. i cannot say that tamal,satshedupe,rs,et al are MORE poisonous than myself (though there's a lot of gross evidence of them having acted in a superlatively venomous manner),because I can't go inside their mind. however,I'm capable of the worst guruapaharadh,the wild elephant offense on a more or less continuous basis,therefore i need to write the truth for self-purification (and to stay out of jail!) therefore,i ask that no one take my offenses--as revealed herein--very seriously,seeing as what can i write on paper that could compare to the offences my mind can generate at a moment's notice?....the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. OM tat sat sanatana the rogue
ps. Srila Prabhupada's letter to Arundhati,as above-mentioned:
My dear Arundhati, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated July 19,1972,and I am simply surprised that you want to give up your your child to some other persons,even they are also devotees. For you,child-worship is more important than deity-worship. If you cannot spend time with him,then stop the duties of pujari. At least you must take good care of your son until he is four years old,and if after that time you are unable anymore to take care of him than I shall take care. These children are given to us by Krishna,they are Vaisnavas and we must be very careful to protect them. These are not ordinary children,they are Vaikuntha children,and we are very fortunate we can give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness.That is very great responsibility,do not neglect it or be confused. Your duty is very clear. Hoping this will meet you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Two points come to my mind,Prabhu,as i study this letter again (the first time i read it was in 1992 before me and and some friends and family were kicked off the Gita nagari farm with restraining orders for being DEMONS (i.e.. not worshipping Uh-Satsvarupa's holy enema program and Ravinedra's 'let's worship my yummy boathole 'cus I engineered a nifty "reform" in isgone which kept Murlivadaka's murder of Druva das secret for all these years,and what to speak of Prabhupada's,and we paid off the gurucoolies real swell-program',etc.) Anyway,the first point that pops up for me is that Arundhati (and what to speak of OTHERS) evidently missed Srila Prabhupada's points,otherwise,why are there no more correspondences to her from Srila Gurudeva? The other point is that Prabhupada-deva states clearly that it's OUR great 'fortune' to have the opportunity to associate with these "Vaikuntha children" and to take the "great responsibility" to "give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness",and NOT the other way around. Prabhupada does not state that it's THEIR (the 'Krishna-sent,Vaikuntha childrens'') great fortune to have our association,and rather His Divine Grace is intimating that actually the kids are in an unfortunate position in that even their own MOTHERS are a bunch of hippie cop-out-types;the implication is already there:'if even the so-called mothers of these "Vaikuntha children" are 'neglectful' or remiss in their progenies welfare,what will be Krishna's children's plight in the hands of perfect strangers,"even they are also devotees"?! Of course,we know-to some small degree-what was their plight,and this letter,which was ignored then,and is still ignored to this day because the Satsvarupa/ravinedra svarupa/tamal club of gurukillers has minimised Prabhupada's Divine Instructions,Letters,etc. even while claiming that their own (vomit-prose and enema-produced) letters are to be worshipped on the absolute platform ,was and STILL IS perfectly prophetic in hinting at the disaster that will befall Prabhupada's Mission if the Devotees,ie "Krishna's Children",ARE NOT PROPERLY WORSHIPPED,if they are 'neglected',or if their care and Krishna Consciousness are NOT TAKEN as a "great responsibility"... This Srila Prabhupada's Letter is most significant also because it points to the parents as being primarily responsible (and held accountable!) for the protection and well-being of their charges. Prabhupada never indicated otherwise to anyone. And just as Puranjana dasa repeatedly invites anyone to prove that Prabhupada wants molesters in charge of Iskcon and/or Krishna's children,and etc.,i now challenge similarly: show me any evidence in Srila Prabhupada's unlimited teachings that indicates that the parents of His Vaikuntha children do not have primary responsibility in their children's protection and upkeep? This is my challenge to myself and to anyone who wants to first accuse the Bhavananda/jayapotatoe-head'surlivadaka/Kirottenananda-types as the primary 'bad guys'. They were what they were;but why were adult parents sending their children to these creeps even after they'd deviated from Prabhupada's instructions,and stabbed HDG in the back by declaring themselves His successors? (and etc.) No one should say the [innocent] children 'wanted to be cheated',but it may be proper to say that their [so-called] parents wanted to be cheated! And whatever the case may be,the parents WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE fully BY KRISHNA'S GOVERNMENTAL OFFICERS,sastra states this unequivocally. I myself will also be held accountable for my errors in (so-called) parenting,so will every other person who has brought "Krishna's children" into the world. "Judge a thing by the result",is exactly what Srila Prabhupada,Lord Krishna and Lord Yamaraja will do in the end;it's what's being done even now,though we're generally too dull to perceive this fact. So the reform school has missed the point all along. NOT TO MINIMISE THE EGREGIOUS ACTION AND CRIMINAL CONDUCT OF THE ISGONE ASURAS (As above-mentioned), who abused Prabhupada's children to a superlative degree,the first persons looked at and scrutinised for accoutability (in the lives of our children) are we the parents. and why is this point sorely missed? (Srila Prabhupada didn't miss it in His letter to poor Arundhati!) If our children ended up f cked up and walking-disasters,no one is (primarily) more to blame than the children's primary care-givers who are mentioned by sastra to be the parents. "No one should become a father or mother,guru,etc who cannot deliver their charge from the cycle of repeated birth and death,and deliver their child to the louts feet of the bona fide spiritual master,His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Maharaja!" That's clearly stated,and unequivocally clarified in Srila Prabhupada's July 30th,1972 letter to Arundhati-Mata. Thus,why isn't Puranjana dasa,and et al writing the book titled: "CHILD ABANDONERS (ABANDONED TO THE CARE OF KNOWN PAEDOPHILES AND DEVIANTS),NEGLECTERS AND ABUSERS: WE PARENTS?" the problem the next generation from now through 10k years will not be rectified unless and until its rightfully acknowledged that WE parents are primarily responsible for our children upkeep,and how they turn out;the Sastric reference to the parent/guru paradigm cannot be argued;the first guru in society is the parent,mother and father,Srila Prabhupada explains that consistently,and uses His own upbringing to repeatedly stress this point (though i've NEVER seen anyone refer to that in discussing the situation of Prabhupada's spiritual children's being abused 'iskcon'). Even Srila Prabhupada dedicated Krishna Book to His Father,Gour Mohan De,whom HDG attributed credit for Prabhupada's primary 'spiritual education. Srila JagatAcarya Prabhupadaji writes: To My Father,Gour Mohan De (1849-1930) a pure devotee of Krsna,who raised me as a Krsna conscious child from the beginning of my life. In my boyhood ages he instructed me how to play the mrdanga. He gave me Radha-Krsna Vigraha to worship,and he gave me Jaganatha-Ratha to duly observe the festival as my childhood play. He was kind to me,and I imbibed from him the ideas later on solidified by my spiritual master,the eternal father. Thus Prabhupada reveals that the first responsibility for a child's upbringing lies with the father (and mother),and that the parents are not just primary 'material' care givers. No Rather,they are the best well-wishers of their children,always vigilante that their beloved sons and daughters have the best possible facilities for spiritual emancipation,so they can surmount the ocean of suffering and return back home back to Godhead. Certainly,also,the point will no doubt be made by later historians that Sri Gour Mohan De (and his pure devotee wife) ,because of their ardent love for their transcendental child get the credit for Srila Prabhupada's being properly directed to the lotus feet of the perfect Messiah Spiritual Preceptor,Srila Thakura Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada,the Spiritual Master of the Universal Gurudeva,our Srila Prabhupada Maharaja! So,we can see that if the parents are good,the children turn out good,and everything auspicious along the way automatically takes place by the parents good wishes,supervision and unerring vigilance. I know this from experience also. In remembering the abuses,for instance,that I suffered when in Catholic school in 1960 and '61,in retrospect I feel my parents were not in touch with how much I suffered at the hands of my teachers. (Not that this is really bothering me now,but my point is: the parents are the ones who are always accountable for the experiences of their children,and at every step they have the choice to be vigilante and protective of their offspring-or not.) Teachers in gurukulas notwithstanding,the onus for protection falls on the parents. This is absolutely true in all circumstances,however the point is rationalised,or prevaricated. If parents of children in these isgone schools had really monitored their child's education,tested and retested the teachers,the environment,etc.,stayed in contact with other parents (and their children),formed a PTA,parents-teachers committee,been interactive on all levels,kept up correspondence,challenged the school,etc.,if and when problems came up,went directly to the proper law enforcement authorities when even one criminal act was perpetrated,made their own "monkeys on sticks" when even one hair was maligned on the head of even one child,then they would've been doing their duty as "God-sent parents",they would've done their "God-given duty" to Srila Prabhupada,and all This nonsense could have been avoided. And Iskcon would have still a good name. But now,even Srila Prabhupada's name has been maligned because the parents for so long and so consistently avoided their responsibilities (in deferring to the false poison snake worship of Satsvaloser,tamal scorpion weed and RavinedraDEADwyler svaroop,etc.),and finally reports of what has really been perpetrated to thousands of Prabhupad's spiritual children over a two decades period have made it to the surface,and widely publicised in the press.But,the chief deviation is that the parents ignored Srila Prabhupada's direct instructions on all levels,and created their own catastrophe. Because of their wholesale neglect (even while they remained silent about Prabhupada's tortured demise,the murder of Sulocana,who tried to explain the whole deviation,and finally the abuse and cover up of abuse to their own children),now the press is 'logically' blaming Prabhupada,ie. His 'teachings' are responsible for this mess? That's exactly what E.Burke Rogueford and Larry Goodstein said in the front page Oct. 9,1998 New York Times article on the subject of rampant child abuse within ISGONE. THEY 'NATURALLY' BLAME THE LEADER OF THE ORGANIZATION because his followers (except Sulocana and a few others) wholesale disregarded his teachings,offended their guru,worshipped cockroaches,snakes and future aids viruses as "God's Representatives",and the parents of all the children didn't in any way check this nonsense (while being nonsense themselves?);and worse,they looked the other way while their "blessed children" were practically cannibalised,sodomized,and abused in every horrible manner. The worst crime of all? the parents' collective and individual indifference. This indifference to their Spiritual Master's sublime instructions as well as to their blessed children has created a holocaust,which is quickly leading to the destruction of this planet. Without strong,Prabhupada-conscious preachers,the world has fallen into the worst nightmarish degradation,and very soon war will most likely engulf the planet. There is still hope though.We need to get this (above) message out,tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth,the parents have to wake up,go to their children and admit their mistakes,be willing to admit this publicly,and then work to change Iskcon back to the way our Acarya left it. All false gurus and GBC's must be expunged forever from Iskcon soil;all documented crimes punished (including mulivadaka's conspiracy to murder Dhruva dasa to prevent the latter from exposing murli's raping of him In the mid-'80s at Gita Nagari farm),a fund should be set up to support all sincere followers of Srila Prabhupada who were abused by the isgone monsters (both young gurukulies and we who joined the kula of the guru later in life),and all facts properly explained to the press and public. The real monkey on sticks have yet to be made,and when they are revealed,the impression will be powerful: you mess with Krishna's children,you gonna pay--BIG TIME!.... THAT'S ALL,FOLKS! further points RE Srila Prabhupada's July 30,1972 letter to Arundhati: In early 1992 i purchased the Sri Siksamrta,this i did while managing the gita nagari ag dept. the letter in question was posted by me on the temple bulletin board,which i did because my only purported supporter at the farm,a tejuprakash das,was planning to send his second wife's indian children to brindaban rurukula. i had already attempted to verbally dissuade td,and finally i put up the letter for him-and everyone else-to read. he became immediately hardened against me (us in the ag dept) and the letter disappeared from the board. soon td was siding with our avowed enemies,and after a few months 'they' found a pretext to remove me from 'office',and gradually dismantle much of the work we had done for the cows. Within a few months td in fact slipped his kids to the rurukula;he meanwhile was building a house there,and simultaneously i went to the press and reveled what had been going on at the farm,etc. td had to answer our charges,though he had wanted to avoid the conflict by resigning as temple President,and slipping out the back (to india) eventually he did purchase his tickets to vrindaban,and moved his family there. Suddenly his children got deathly ill,and had to be taken out of vrindaban to a hospital in delhi. eventually,td also got very sick,and he had to return to the states for treatment. i heard that he took a long while to recover his health... Prabhupada's letter is perfect. no one should doubt the pure devotee's words;they are infallible. my own wors are fallible however,and i ask you and anyone else whom i may have offended due to my presumptuous demeanor and puffed up mentality. sometimes i go off the deep end and take myself too seriously,forgetting that Krishna resides everywhere as the Supersoul,and is giving everyone intelligence to surrender unto Him. These things will be gradually purified as i continue attempting to render service unto His Divine Grace. vancha kalpa tarubyas ca krpa sindyu byayeva cda patitanam pavanebyo vaisnavaebyo namoh namah. ys sanatana das. |
