After The Burn Code
By Kailäsa Candra däsa
HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ
An all-pervading illusion promulgated by “ISKCON” is that the many deviations of the zonal äcärya imposition have been completely overcome in their movement. “Old news, move on.” It is not so, but could they have been overcome in the early years after the zonal imposition?
It would have taken a major effort to have done so, and it may not have even been possible. There was not even a paltry effort made to do so until the mid-Eighties. That the deception set into motion in 1978 has been totally overcome is patently untrue, and it is essential that you realize just how false that “ISKCON” thinking otherwise is.

“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.

Only Experts in Forming Initiation Machines
by Kailäsa Candra däsa
HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ
If you are attracted to Kåñëa consciousnessand have begun research into it,that is most commendable; however, you are only at the beginning of your search into achieving perfection. Specific manifestations of what appear to be Kåñëa conscious institutionsrequire more than general knowledge of Vaiñëavism. As you actually enter into this next and difficult layer, to merely know about the Hare Kåñëa movementwill be seen to benot good enough.
The primary manifestation (or the first manifestation of the movement, so to speak), has changed from what it once was . . . and, after that, it has changed in other ways. There are different brands now. These brand names are what we shall refer to them as, and they will be explained.

This is True
by Kailäsa Candra däsa
HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ
There are many people who believe everything is relative; this is a popular shibboleth in the West. They claim that there is no Absolute Truth, yet such a claim is, in and of itself, stating an absolute. There is Absolute Truth, but it is difficult to realize, especially in this degraded and quarrelsome age of Kali-yuga. Indeed, it is difficult to even realize what is what in every day life, and there are planes above this gross one, far previous to the absolute level. Realizing Absolute Truth automatically encompasses understanding all the levels below it.
The Absolute Truth is total without exceptions. All that works against realizing it—often called mäyä–is an integral feature of it, and this will be explained in some detail, subsequently. You are an embodied being in the material universe, and thus you are constantly being assaulted with illusion, delusion, and many other negative astral principalities in order to keep you from knowing even basic absolute fundamentals.

No Fault/No Blame:
The Big Neo-Mutt Lie
by Kailäsa Candra däsa
HARIÙ OÀ NAMAÙ
“It was a bright, cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen”
George Orwell, 1984
A specter is haunting the Hare Kåñëa movement: It is the specter of Neo-Mutt. It is a ghost that emerged from Gouòéya-Mutt and represents it. The two other major institutions in what appears to be the Kåñëa movement are afflicted by it. In the very late Seventies and early Eighties, Neo-Mutt, in its incipient stage, consisted of second echelon Prabhupäda initiates who crossed the river. They broke their connection to “ISKCON” in order to align themselves with—and become sannyäsés and gurus courtesy of–an old but influential Gouòéya Mutt leader in Navadvipa.

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.

“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.”

ISKCON Authority: Where Did It Originally Come From? — KCd’s Sept. 2022
(And Where Does “ISKCON” Power Come From?)
By Kailäsa Candra däsa
HARIÙ OM NAMAÙ
We find the following excerpt from an important room conversation between His Divine Grace Çrila Prabhupäda and members of his Governing Body Commission at the Krishna-Balaram temple on May 28, 1977 in Våndävan, India:
Leading Secretary (1): The people who they give dékñä to, whose disciple are they?
Prabhupäda: They’re his disciple.
Leading Secretary (1): They’re his disciple.
Prabhupäda: Who is initiating. He is grand disciple.
Leading Secretary (2): Yes.
Leading Secretary (1): That’s clear.
Leading Secretary (2): Then, we have a question . . .
Prabhupäda (interrupting): When I order, “You become guru,” he becomes regular guru. That’s all. He becomes disciple of my disciple. That’s it.
