An Open Letter to Bhakta Mladen

Greetings Bhakta Mladen, Hare Krishna.
Upon considering all the warped ideas you presented to me in the exchange we had not long ago (about theorigination of jiva), I’ve been contemplating the ways as to how I can confront these major philosophical contradictions, bringing them to an end (and an end to your confusion). On the other hand, everything we managed so far between ourselves in our day-to-day activities (whenever we would meet) was working quite nicely.

However, can it really go on unless this issue is resolved? This letter that I write to you is a sort of challenge, although notentirely antagonistic, but also not a friendly challenge. Nothing in it is personally against you as a spirit soul. However, it is confrontational against the misconceptions that you’re nourishing within yourself for far too long.
I am being sharp in tone here, not harsh. By now, you surely know where I’m getting this knowledge from, so that should be of no surprise to you. Either accept it with realization and higher intelligence or you can continue pushing your Neo-Mutt speculations.

“The Whole Thing Would Have Been Killed”

by Kailäsa Candra däsa

HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ

The majority of disciples, adherents, and even casual followers of Prabhupäda’s branch of Lord Caitanya’s Hare Kåñëa line believe, with no lack of evidence, that things have not gone well in the G.B.C. since he left the scene in late 1977. There must be reasons for that, and we shall focus on them and their root causes.

As most of you know, Prabhupäda created what he called a governing body commission for his movement in 1970. What led to that creation is a long story; there is no need, for the purpose of this podcast, to get into that creation history. There IS a need, however, to discuss just how that Commission played out—in terms of its misdeeds, in particular.

Oppressive and Aggressive: The Zonal Äcärya Takeover

by Kailäsa Candra däsa

HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ

To mistake material energy for spiritual (or to mistake spiritual energy to be material) is the plight of deluded souls. This delusion of all conditioned souls situated in the lower modes extends to process, as logically it must. To mistake a material process as being conducive to spiritual advancement is certainly a manifestation of avidyä. This particular avidyä is strongly promoted in organized religions which are not under the direct and perfect guidance of THE ÄCÄRYA. The fabricated, so-called “ISKCON” confederation is one such institution.

Anti-matter means there are two things: Spirit and matter. Anti-matter means spirit. Matter is destructible, but anti-matter is not. A genuine religion or sanätana-dharma is an occult theism. It requires perfect knowledge free from all corruption or compromise. Its process for deliverance from matter must also be perfect. A genuine bhakti process must be perfectly connected to the transcendental world of anti-matter in order to produce the real result, vimukti.

Dons of the “ISKCON” Empire

by Kailäsa Candra däsa

HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ

evaà paramparä-präptam
imaà räjarñayo viduù

“Having thus been received by disciplic succession, this spiritual science was understood by the self-realized kings. That great science of yoga was scattered (destroyed) in this world by the influence of time.”

Concerning Initiation

Written by VF member Puëòarék

On May 28,1977, in respect to diksha initiations after his disappearance (less than six months later on November 14th), Srila Prabhupada stated: “When I order, ‘You become guru,’ he becomes regular guru. That’s all. He becomes disciple of my disciple. That’s it.” Upon the command of Prabhupada, one of his initiated disciples becomes a “regular,” i.e., under rules and regulations, a madhyam diksha-guru, and those he initiates become the initiated disciples of Prabhupada’s authorized diksha-guru disciple.

They become a “grand disciple” of Prabhupada. ibid, “He is grand-disciple.”Any such authorized guru in the Madhva-Gauòéya sampradya will not consider himself a guru on any level above a madhyam, at least until he has proven himself fully obedient to the rules and regulations incumbent upon him, particularly in accord with the guru-vani which preceded him, as recorded in that May room conversation.

If the Shoe Fits

Lord_Nrshimadeva

Let us deconstruct a disastrous article, entitled “God-given Rejection of Nonsense.” We shall cull out quotes from this screed, Hanuman’s recent broadside, and then we shall comment upon them. We deconstruct it in order for you to utilize your free will in the right way and reject the apa-siddhanta, misrepresentations, and offenses it is pushing and projecting. Thus, his title for the article is made applicable. Who is pushing nonsense? A rhetorical question, obviously.
