** A Letter from Satsvarupa
My dear friends and disciples, Please accept my humble obeisance. All
glories to Srila Prabhupada. At the request of Pranada and the ISKCON
Resolve Committee, I have written a letter concerning my falldown in 2002.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
-- [PADA: First of all, Srila Prabhupada says that the actual guru is:
equal to Krishna in purity "shaksad hari tvena"; he is absorbing sins --
like Jesus; he sees Krishna twenty four hours a day; he receives direct
instruction from Krishna -- and so on. And yet the bogus ISKCON leaders
like Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami (SDG) and his "advisors" like Sridhara/
Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharajas et al. are always contending that
Krishna's divine successor gurus are "falling down" into illicit sex, even
with married disciples. In other words, the main theme of SDG's post-1977
bogus ISKCON guru project has been all along to claim that "God's living
spokesmen on earth, Krishna's successor gurus and messiahs," are in fact:
chasing their followers wives for sex. Worse the SDG team's "pure as Jesus
gurus" are sometimes drug addicts, perverts, criminals, child molesters,
orchestrators of murders -- and in sum that God's "pure devotee guru
representatives" are more or less -- Satanic.
THE PURE ARE -- FALLEN? And what does SDG's team do when they find that
their alleged "Krishna's Jesus-like pure successor guru," who is "always
receiving direct dictation from God" is actually "engaged in illicit sex
with men, women and children" -- as occurs with regularity in SDG's guru
regime? No problem! Then the "pure devotee guru" is transferred to a higher
authority than God, now he is "under the control of the Guru Resolve
Committee" -- another group of conditioned souls posing as the "higher
authority" for gurus -- or the guru submits to Pranada's psychotherapy
sessions. Yet even the ordinary common man does not "engage in illicit sex
with men, women and children" like the bogus GBC/ Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura
Govinda maharaja's "pure devotees" are doing. In sum, in Satsvarupa Dasa
Goswami's guru scheme -- there is a very loose moral standard for the
behavior of their "pure devotee gurus," i.e. their pure devotees behave
worse than the common man or even the atheists. And in order to "fix" their
messiahs who are addicted to drugs and sex, the guru needs psychotherapy?
And so when their messiah fails, they can blame Sigmund Freud?
"RE-INSTATING" HOMOSEXUAL GURUS. For example, even when Satsvarupa's "guru
project" finds that their "pure as God guru" is "engaged in illicit
homosexual acts with taxi drivers and rikshaw wallas in the Holy dham" --
as was reported to ALL of the ISKCON leaders in 1986 -- that too is not
really any sort of big problem for SDG. The collective bogus GBC merely
"temporarily suspended" their homosexual guru's "guru license," sort of
like being drunk and having one's driver's license "suspended" for six
months by the courts. In short, SDG's regime simply covered-up their
homosexual guru and his child molesting project and then they re-instated
Bhavananada as their "Vishnupada guru" -- despite their knowing that
Bhavananada was engaged in homosexual acts and that he was POLLUTING the
holy dham, and that homosexual child molesters were filtering into the
ISKCON society via Bhavananda's regime, especially in India.
FALLEN GURU - HELLISH IDEA. The leaders --SDG's team -- cannot say they
"did not know" about the banning, beating, molesting and murder issues
because persons like myself, Sulochana and others were reporting all this
to the bogus GBC leaders all along. And Sulochana was indeed murdered for
reporting on these problems. And all of this was WELL known to every member
of ISKCON especially the leaders, because Sulochana's murder story was
covered in every major newspaper in America. In any case, the Vedic
scriptures are clear in their guru standards, they say that pure gurus --
like Narada Muni -- cannot EVER be brought down to the material platform
(i.e. falling down) and moreover it is a severe offense to consider that
Krishna's pure devotee gurus are falling down. And anyone -- like Sridhara/
Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharajas/ SDG/ the bogus ISKCON leaders et al. --
who claim that Krishna's guru successors are falling down -- do so at their
extreme peril -- since scriptures say these deviants are considered as
"residents of hell" (gurusu narah matih -- naraka sah) for their
considering the guru to be an ordinary (fallen) man. Now we have (a) fallen
gurus who (b) need psychotherapy and psycho-active drugs then (c) the guru
resolve committee -- swell!
FAILURE OF PRIESTS not GURUS! No wonder Pranada is falling apart
"physically and mentally," she was told it is her duty to give
"psychotherapy" to the failing "mahabhagavata" pure devotees, and so she
now thinks she failed in her duty to save the world's holy savior -
messiah. No. She has merely been duped by Sats-he-duped-ya. Now SDG admits
that his victim, number 4,000,387 namely Pranada dasi, is suffering
terribly both physically and mentally due to SDG and his ISKCON leader's
team's machinations on her life. We thus hope and pray that Pranada can
recover from all of SDG's vicious brain washing and that her -- and her
bogus GBC handlers -- will read our message herein and try to help her.
Some have told PADA that Pranada is being "tortured to death" by SDG's
"mind control" domination over her. PADA editor replied, "What else is new?
Srila Prabhupada complained about these same leaders, "My only request is,
do not torture me and put me to death." (November 3, 1977)
SUFFERING OF DEVOTEES. If the founding leader of the Hare Krishna religion
Srila Prabhupada has to complain about these people, "do not torture me and
put me to death," then certainly the followers might end up having the same
fate. Indeed there are countless numbers of devotees who were all tortured
by SDG's policy of kicking all of them out of ISKCON. Some of them ended up
as drug addicts -- and some them died terribly from heroin overdose; Some
ended up as prostitutes -- with AIDS; Some devotees told PADA they had
"lost their will to live" from SDG's oppressive regime -- and then they
died very slowly from cancer etc.; Then again the mass of gurukuli children
were tortured in SDG's pedophile death camps for children, and we could go
on here for ten more pages regarding SDG's policy's victims. Then again
many of the children of the ISKCON leaders even suffered: Tripurari's son
is in jail, Bir Krishna's son hates the leaders, Jaggadisha's son hates the
religion, many other children told us how they hate their "devotee"
parents, Gopal Bhatta's son told us his father is a giant hypocrite to
support the bogus guru's regime, ad infinitum.
The only good news here is that maybe SDG now realizes that yet another
person is "physically and mentally devastated" due to his association, he
seems to have some feelings of remorse nowadays and that is good news! Of
course the doubters have told PADA that SDG is only "feeling remorse" of
crocodile tears -- because everyone already knows about the mess he made in
the Pranada situation. Some have told us she might die, so SDG is perhaps
only covering his tracks from yet another one of his vicious attacks on yet
another devotee. Perhaps SDG is only being forced to take interest. The
spotlight is on SDG since everybody knows SDG is responsible for Pranada's
health and mental collapse.
GURU -- MANAGED BY A COMMITTEE? Yet Srila Prabhupada says it is a SEVERE
offense to consider that the guru is in need of mundane psychotherapy and
psycho-active drugs, what to speak of being subordinated to the votes of
some bogus "Guru Resolve Committee." The next good news is that the above
statement from Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami proves our point, that he was only
appointed by Srila Prabhupada as a priest (ritvik) because it is the
priests who are sometimes falling down -- and who are then subordinated to
the juristiction of the Church council monitoring "committee." In sum, the
guru / messiahs are not the ones "falling down with married followers," and
then requiring "Guru committee censure." The "fallen" situation applies
ONLY to neophyte devotees, and of course we also find that priests are
experiencing this type of "lusting after others wives" difficulty. Notice
that the bogus GBC says that God no longer dictates to the guru. Their
committee is now higher than God! They claim to have the power to kick out
Krishna and they have now taken over GOD'S post of "dictation to the guru"!
Either that or their guru is failing because Pranada did not give SDG the
proper dictation from Sigmund Freud's psychotherapy books, the leaders "new
religion"?]
---------------------------------------------------------
** SDG: At a future date, this letter will be posted on the Dandavats
website. I am sending you a copy of this letter now, should you wish to
read it. I am also sending you a GBC preamble describing my current status
and service in ISKCON. We have all been working carefully on this for
months, and I hope you will take this news in a thoughtful and forgiving
spirit. I am personally grateful that this brings us closer to final
closure and that the case will not be re-opened again.
---------------------------------------------------------
[PADA: For starters it does not look like "Dandavats.com" is very happy
about the idea of posting SDG's admission: that he has been a lusty man all
the while he has been posing as their biggest guru writer - scholar. PADA
has heard that there is a fight amongst the leaders on how to deal with the
SDG crisis. Perhaps SDG did not run his idea up Dandavat's flag pole first
of all. It looks like Dandavats wants to continue the cover-up of their
biggest scholarly writer's new phase of melt down. At the same time, simply
posting imperious statements on the bogus GBC's managed site is merely
another layer of problems within the post-1977 ISKCON "gurus." SDG merely
posts his "messages to the devotees" on his official GBC web site
"Dandavats.com," however if anyone has any substantial questions or
objections to his incomprehensible "messages" then the doubters are blocked
or banned from posting any counterpoints there. Thus, since 1977 there has
not been any sort of realistic dialogue between the so-called "gurus" and
the mass of devotees. There is only their "official decree" from the
"gurus" sitting in their ivory towers. And thus no one is allowed to
discuss the validity or merits of their decree. This of course is like the
medieval Vatican system of the "Papal bull" decree, the leaders declare
some bogus idea to be valid, and then the mass of people are forced to
accept that since there is no process for redress or reconciliation. And of
course as soon as we say that SDG's policy has been causing mass starving,
beating and molesting of ISKCON's children, then the leaders will more or
less unite to vilify us and some of them even tried to get us assassinated
since they really are not interested in any dialogue at all, or of the fate
of their own society's children for that matter.
LIMITED APOLOGY. SDG has been "working hard for months" to rectify the sins
he has committed to ONLY one devotee named Pranada, but what about his
regime's vast multitude of sins to others which caused the lives of
thousands of ISKCON devotees to be severely hampered, or ruined, or ended
in death as occured to some dissenters to SDG's violent guru regime? We are
supposed to forgive SDG, fine, but he never admits that his post-1977 guru
regime members were -- never -- gurus in the first place, and that SDG's
whole "guru by appointment" claim was and is a hoax. Thus he has no
authority to destroy ISKCON with his false guru cults, or to create
molesting webs and nests for its children by making homosexual pedophiles
into gurus, or to harass and indeed help orchestrate beatings and murders
of us dissenters, and/or to persecute the other citizens -- the way he has
done all along since 1977. SDG wants us to forgive his sins, while he does
nothing to actually address his actual original sin, for starters --
claiming to be a guru, which has only been possible by SDG's then creating
a violent and repressive regime, which he was never authorized to do.]
-----------------------------
** SDG: If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the devotees
listed below, the SDG sanga, the website SDGonline.org", myself, or
devotees on the monitor committee. Thank you. Yours in service to Srila
Prabhupada, Satsvarupa dasa Goswami
Preamble to Letter from Satsvarupa dasa Goswami by the GBC Executive
Committee. Satsvarupa dasa Goswami (SDG) will assume the status of retired
sannyasi and retired disksa guru. This means SDG will no longer give
initiation nor present himself as an initiating guru. Disciples of SDG may
approach the Monitor Committee members for clarification on any question
they may have.
------------------------------
-- [PADA: Let us get this straight, the bogus ISKCON leaders say their
gurus are pure devotees, they say their gurus are absorbing sins, they say
their gurus are equals to Jesus in purity etc. And yet now all of a sudden,
someone who is being daily worshiped in ISKCON as "equal to Jesus" has to
"retire" from being Jesus, all because he was caught with his hands down
the pants of his followers wives, and he refuses to accept guidance from
Sigmund Freud's psychotherapy? Why does the bogus GBC attack even Jesus?
This is simply piling up more concoction -- upon their already existing
mountain of concoction, which simply begs more questions than SDG gives
answers. For example, exactly what is "a retired sannyasi and retired
diksha guru"? Srila Prabhupada says that one retires by taking sannyasa
(renunciate) -- until one dies. SDG changes all that and now says that "the
sannyasa is retiring -- from sannyasa"? Then at the end of this letter SDG
says he is going to try to recover his sannyasa status, so where is the
retirement? SDG never actually admits he is not qualified to be sannyasa or
guru. An initiating guru absorbs sins -- like Jesus, but if SDG is sinful
himself, how can he absorb the sins of others? This is simply more conundrum.
And where exactly does Srila Prabhupada discuss the process of the previous
gurus who had to "retire" -- because they were exposed in having illicit
sex with a married follower? And when did Srila Prabhupada discuss the
"Guru Monitor Committee"? He never did. Rather the guru is the advisor and
monitor for the whole human society, even the demigods. SDG says he has had
lusty since 1978, but he has been claiming to be a guru since 1978? He
lied. Now he is retiring after making up lies for 30 years? He was lusty
the whole time, so why did he not retire from sannyasa in 1978 and be
honest? Since SDG was lusty all the way back in 1978, he was never a guru.
Thus he is not retiring from guru, he is admitting he never was a guru. Now
SDG claims that the even though the demigods are advised by the acharyas,
suddenly they too cannot act without getting sanction from their new boss,
Malati, Ravindra Swarupa and Giriraja, i.e. the "guru advisory committee"
who are dictating even to "the guru, the sum total of the demigods." Did we
forget to mention that people always ask us if Giriraja has an illicit love
child in South Africa?
Who decided to put Malati dasi, the former self-described "punk rocker
queen diva in a mini-skirt" (along with her alleged lesbian tendencies) --
in charge of "the sum total of the demigods"? People like Yogesvara did?
Sorry, (a) Krishna dictates to the guru, then (b) it is the guru who
dictates to the human society, and even to the demigods, because (c) he is
getting dictation from God, and he is not -- getting his guru dictation
from Malati dd and Sigmund Freud as the ISKCON leaders opine? Where exactly
does Srila Prabhupada say that the guru has to reject receiving direct
dictation from God, and he has to now listen to his new advisor -- a former
punk rocker mini skirt girl? And why has Sridhara, Narayana, Gaura Govinda
maharajas all gone along with these deviations?
No! Srila Prabhupada says quite the opposite, he says that Krishna is the
person who is monitoring and giving direct dictation to the guru from the
heart (chaitya guru). How then can SDG's bogus "Guru Monitor Committee"
over-ride God's dictation? Why hasn't SDG's "Guru Montior Committee" ever
explained where Srila Prabhupada says that Krishna's pure devotee gurus are
"engaged in illicit sex with men, women and children" -- as their gurus are
doing, at least according to their spokesman Jayadvaita swami? Who are the
members of the guru monitor committee anyway, aren't they simply -- more --
of the same league of dubious gurus and their lackeys like Malati dd? Which
previous acharyas were being glorified as "assisting the gopis in God's
loving affairs" while simultaneously they were falling into illicit affairs
and rejecting the Vedas in favor of Sigmund Freud's siddhanta? We could
make easily another ten thousand questions here, but it seems that SDG is
simply pouring coal dust onto a pile of coals, rather than offering any
brilliant illumination regarding the post of Krishna's guru successors.]
------------------------------------
** SDG will have his future publications voluntarily peer reviewed prior to
publication or posting. [1]
------------------------------------
[PADA: This is great news -- except for the fact -- that since 1977 SDG has
been the main writer of almost all the ISKCON GBC's EXISTING foundational
documents regarding gurus and initiations. Now we are being advised that
all of SDG's "past and present" documents are faulty. That means the main
body of documents being used NOW to uphold ISKCON guru's -- are faulty. And
so we need to know when is the bogus GBC going to discard these reams upon
reams of CURRENT ISKCON documents penned by SDG, that they are NOW using to
uphold their guru program today? And what about the tens of thousands of
other SDG's books being distributed even today ALL OVER ISKCON, since they
are just as faulty. Why are these self-admitted bogus books still being
distributed? PADA editor visited an ISKCON temple recently and was given a
copy of SDG's "horrible paintings book" from the temple book shop. Why is
this book STILL in the book shop? SDG's paintings look like paintings made
by the worst Bellvue mental hospital patients, and the bogus GBC thinks
this is divinity. And what about the fact that SDG's co-writers are a wife
stealer like Jaggadisha; a bogus guru like Bhagavan; the biggest apologist
of the "illicit sex with men, women and children guru lineage" Jayadvaita
and so on?
Then again, which previous gurus needed to have their documents "reviewed
and sometimes discarded by a committee" for faults? What exactly is a "guru
writing review committee"? Why didn't the "guru writing committee" inspect
SDG's 1980 document such as "The Mahajanas Have Difficulties" and pull that
offensive document before it was posted as an official ISKCON document? SDG
says in that paper that the Mahajanas are subject to material failures, and
yet that document -- and the thousands of pages of associated documents --
have never been pulled. Why is the bogus GBC saying that the guru is
subject to faults and defects? And -- ok -- ad infinitum. The good news is
that the bogus GBC has finally made a former punk rocker mini-skirt girl
into their "guru writing advisor." This is probably better than having
Jayadvaita swami in charge of that department. And since Jayadvaita is
SDG's co-writer on certain documents, why was he then hand selected by the
bogus GBC to change the books of Srila Prabhupada?]
--------------------------------
** A probation committee will be formed to monitor SDG's progress and
compliance with the GBC approved recommendations.
--------------------------------
[PADA: What? Are not criminals the types of persons who are "on probation,"
and now suddenly -- Krishna's guru successors are also -- on probation too?
Criminals need to be "monitored for compliance" by the Federal Court
probation committee and now -- the guru also needs to be monitored by
another probation committee? Similarly, criminals need to be "reformed" and
SDG says -- the guru also needs to be "reformed." Hmmm, is the guru a
criminal? Once again the bogus GBC mixes terms meant to apply to the
conditioned souls, the neophytes, -- to describe the pure devotees. No, the
pure devotees are not the ones who are on probation, nor are they monitored
by the committee, nor are they in need of reform for immoral and criminal
acts, nor do they need to have their writings censured and removed for
containing discussions of illicit sex -- like SDG's. Nor are pure devotees
"excommunicated for implication in murder" like SDG's and Radhanatha's
"purest devotee on the planet" Kirtananda. Clearly, SDG thinks that the
pure devotees are ordinary men -- or criminals (gurusuh narah matih --
narakah sah).]
---------------------------------
** This committee will serve for one year and at that time provide a report
to the GBC. Malati dasi, Ravindra Swarupa Prabhu and Giriraja Swami have
agreed to serve on the committee. This committee will:
Monitor his progress in accordance with these recommendations. This would
include
1. Regular phone contact with a committee member with a follow-up written
report to the others.
2. Open door policy for godbrothers who want to visit SDG’s ashram in
Delaware. Financial assistance, if necessary, is available to the monitor
committee members travel costs.
3. Report on pastoral activities including following the regulative
principles, chanting, traveling to preach, receiving guests, programs,
writing letters and books for disciples, visiting the Holy Dhamas, etc.
-----------------------------------
[PADA: This "guru monitor committee" process was the same thing SDG's team
did in 1979 with Jayatirtha, and with all their other hundreds of other
"falling gurus." They made a big committee to "monitor Jayatirtha's
progress" and the result was that Jayatirtha was allowed to become the
biggest importer of the "ecstacy drug" into England while the "monitor
committee" was too busy eating big feasts in other countries to even bother
with the problem. Nothing of substance was ever done to contain
Jayatirtha's problems, nor were the same problems with SDG's other bogus
"gurus" ever contained in any meaningful way by the same committee process.
Nor did the leaders halt the flow of several hundred ISKCON devotees to run
off into Jayatirtha's sex, drugs and rock and roll cult.
In fact Jayatirtha's "guru problems" with illicit sex, drugs and
orchestrated murder only got MUCH worse once he was under the watchful eye
of the "guru monitor committee." After "a person equal to Jesus" needs to
be "monitored" for illicit sex, taking drugs, criminality, embezzling
funds, orchestrating murders and drug selling like Jayatirtha was doing,
then that is fine because this guru is "on suspension." Oddly, Jayatirtha
had his head chopped off for "having sex with a followers wife," then again
we had to personally save Hansadutta from getting a shot gun blast in the
face because he was "having sex with a followers wife," Harikesha ran off
with a followers wife, SDG's co-writer Jaggadisha ran off with a followers
wife, SDG himself is currently facing charges of having sex with a
followers wife, other ISKCON gurus have attacked other's wives and so on
and so forth. So it seems that despite having a big "guru monitoring
committee" -- their gurus keep running off and having illicit sex with
their own followers wives -- like the ISKCON guru cult's actual leader Jim
Jones was doing. Maybe, just maybe, these people who are running off to
have sex with the wives of followers -- were not EVER gurus in the first
place? Yas thinks so pardners?]
-------------------------------
** Closure: This case concerning SDG’s relationship with Pranada is closed
and not subject to reinterpretation or reopening as long as the monitor
committee report indicates compliance with these agreed upon measures
[1] Including Yogeswara das, Candramauli Swami, Sacinandana Swami,
Jayadvaita Swami, Haridas das, Tattvavit das so far. Others may be added.
---------------------------------
[PADA: Amazing. Shastra says, "the guru is controlled by Krishna," but
Yogesvara disagrees. Yogesvara says, "hey, let us toss out Krishna out on
the street! I will take over as the the guru's dictation." How puffed up is
this? "We no longer require God anymore, I am taking over His post as the
guru's dictation." Srila Prabhupada says the guru is getting dictation from
within the heart by Krishna, Yogesvara hates that! "Get rid of that foolish
Krishna in the heart! I am the great Yogesvara, I am better than God." Well
nothing new here, so many people thought they could get rid of Krishna and
take over His post, all we have to do is study the Vedas to find countless
examples of the previous Yogesvara types. So Yogesvara is not only God, he
is better than God. "God cannot dictate to his gurus very nicely, God is
such a screw-up, the great Yogesvara has to take over His job." So this is
what happens when one associates with SDG, one tosses God out the window.
Did we forget that SDG says he was an atheist before he joined? So this is
atheism, toss out God and give some mundane man the post of chaitya guru.
So what is Yogesvara really saying de facto, "We need to keep the main
brains behind 'the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual
pedophiles regime' at the helm, so we can crush a few more people like
Pranada." There is not even an ounce of mercy here. Oh great, here are more
people who are "watching the situation" to make sure their "Jesus-like
saints" are not sexing-up the wives of the ISKCON followers. The above
people think that Jesus-like saints are their toy puppets and they are the
"committee managers" of their alleged Jesus-like saints. God's saints are
being "committee managed" by folks like Yogesvara and Malati. Great, so
that means that all the banning, beating, molesting and murders -- ad
infinitum crimes -- are ALSO the fault of the above people, because they
are the "committee managers," main apologists, and hence de facto enforcers
of this situation? Good, they are behind the scenes culprits in these
crimes because they are "the managers" of the GBC's bogus criminal guru
regime. As for closure, there is none, too many people have been banned,
beaten, molested and killed, there is no closure for them because the
perpetrators of this criminal guru regime are simply "under suspension and
review" instead of being removed from office. And if Pranada dies from her
severe collapse caused by SDG's manipulation, which some think may occur in
any case, then where is the "closure" there? It just means SDG got away
with dispatching another devotee. SDG wants "closure" because his wide open
door is emanating a stench.]
---------------------------
** SDG: Letter from Satsvarupa. Dear Maharajas and Prabhus, Please accept
my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I understand that
many devotees still have questions about my past behavior. They doubt why I
continue to have a position as an ISKCON leader. Therefore I would like to
clarify my falldown in 2002, my recovery, service, and relationship to
ISKCON.
-----------------------------
[PADA: This seems to be the process of being a pure devotee of God: (a) Our
pure devotee gurus are in direct communion with God; (b) Our messiahs are
creating sex and drug scandals, (b) This creates doubts in the followers,
(c) Our messiah is sent to Bellvue for ten years of psychotherapy and
psychotropic drug prescriptions, and then he "recovers." (d) But then,
ooops, he was putting his hands down the pants of his therapist, (e) oh
never mind! (f) Yogesvara to the rescue, lets make ex-mini skirted punk
rockers in charge of Krishna and the parampara!]
--------------------------------
** SDG: First of all I would like to apologize to Pranada and Nagaraja
Prabhus, whom I deeply hurt and whose trust I betrayed. I genuinely
apologize to all my disciples, my godbrothers and godsisters, and all
members of ISKCON. I am beginning to understand the depth of the damage my
behavior has caused for everyone, and the compounding of the damage by
initially understating the matter.
---------------------------------
[PADA: This is good, when giving the benefit of doubt, SDG sees that he
might be killing Pranada, but she will simply be another carcass on top of
the heap of thousands of other devotees who died under SDG's giant jack
boots.]
----------------------------------
** SDG: The reaction to this fall has been devastating to the spiritual
lives of so many devotees and created much mistrust in myself. As I have
held a position of high honor in ISKCON my misbehavior naturally throws
doubts upon other leaders in the movement. This is a disservice to ISKCON
and its leaders.
----------------------------------
[PADA: This is actually a good sign in any case since it means the cat
(SDG's cruelty to the devotees) is out of the bag. Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami
is maybe starting to finally realize that his gurus, the people who have
been orchestrating their own selfish illicit sex programs -- even at the
expense of others wives, as well as SDG's "gurus" other immoral and
criminal acts like: orchestrated banning, beating and murders of dissenting
devotees; orchestrated drug selling; orchestrated embezzling, orchestrated
mass molesting of children, orchestrated bankrupting of ISKCON, ad
infinitum, and then having all these gurus's crimes totally exposed on the
world wide internet, newspapers and Television media etc., reflects badly
on ALL of the leaders of ISKCON. Wow, it is about time he is starting to
"realize" this! Yes, they are ALL implicated. Good progress! Shastra says
all those who aided and abetted are equally involved in the crimes.]
----------------------------------------
** SDG: For this, too, I apologize sincerely. I have been praying that Lord
Krsna and Srila Prabhupada forgive me. I realize that many Vaishnavas want
me to be transparent and accept responsibility for my actions, so I am
opening my heart to them in an attempt to bring closure to this sad chapter
in my history. When I first wrote about my relationship with Pranada Dasi,
I understated the length and seriousness of it. I was frightened and wanted
to protect my reputation, Pranada’s reputation, and not cause unnecessary
damage to the faith of many devotees who counted on me to provide a proper
example of Krsna consciousness. In retrospect this was a mistake, and I
hope this letter serves to clarify matters. As a young sannyasi I developed
a secret attraction for Pranada Dasi in 1978 in Los Angeles.
------------------------
-- [PADA: This is the whole problem from square one. SDG admits he was
already feeling lusty desires in 1978, and all along before 1978 obviously,
while simultaneously he has been claiming to be a self realized "renounced"
messiah who is absorbing the sins of the mass of devotees in the ISKCON
society (a diksha guru). Srila Prabhupada had said in early 1977 that none
of his followers were fit for sannyasa and therefore that "everyone should
get married." Yet instead of following the direct order of his guru, SDG
deviated and he concocted that not only he should pose as a bogus sannyasa,
but SDG then rubber stamped many other bogus people as PURE DEVOTEE
renunciates, when Srila Prabhupada had already stated that this process was
not working. Srila Prabhupada also said he wanted to start "family based"
ISKCON (varnasrama) -- again: based on married couples -- and at SDG's Gita
Nagari camp. SDG totally scuttled that direct order from his guru and he
instead created mayhem by making violent "pure devotee sannyasa"
personality cults amongst his associates.
And SDG even personally ruined Gita Nagari by dwindling it down to a few
people with a sort of junk yard of dismantled vehicles and auto parts
scattered about. Cows there were then being mistreated and freezing to
death and so on, all because SDG kicked out the people who were supposed to
start the family based society and care for the cows. In short SDG has been
cheating people knowingly ALL ALONG from the beginning of this bogus guru
escapade. 1978 was the same year that the whole bogus guru process was
started. Instead of SDG's simply standing up and being truthful, he chose
to make up incredible lies that he and his equally lusty associates were
self-realized renounced saints, equal in purity to God. And no one even
knows what happened to the order to make a society based on married
couples, that order seems to have been obscured into the nether regions of
SDG's brain.
Of interest, SDG had already targeted Pranada as his object of lusty
affection, so then he later on manipulated her situation until he could get
her to agree to have an affair with him. That means SDG was calculating all
along how to manipulate her into his private chambers so then he could tug
at her heart strings with his plea for "therapy for the guru." No doubt
Pranada thought she was "servicing" the guru. No wonder she is now so
devastated and distraught. SDG tried to turn her love for Krishna and His
messiahs into mundane lust, and this has basically ruined her life. And now
we know how this occured, SDG did all this knowingly because he was lusting
after her all along.]
-------------------------
** SDG: Later, I gave her and her husband at the time, Vadiraja Dasa,
second initiation. I never revealed this attraction to her or anyone. In
1980 when Pranada Dasi’s marriage to Vadiraja dasa failed I suggested she
move to Gita-nagari. Sometime later she began managing Gita-nagari Press,
my tape ministry, and assisting me in a secretarial role as my typist for
letters to my disciples and other duties required to fulfill my GBC
responsibilities. From 1980 to 1985, due to my ongoing attraction to her, I
instructed her, as her spiritual master, to do many things that were quite
difficult for her. These included moving away from Gita-nagari, leaving her
son behind, and getting married (I had previously insisted she vow never to
remarry). After she married and moved away from my home zone my attraction
subsided. Therefore, my attraction lasted about seven years.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PADA: We will have to consult with Vadiraja if he wants to print more
details, but his basic account is that SDG stole his wife and child and
thereby severely disturbed him and devastated the child.]
------------------------------------
** SDG: In December of 2001, I was at a medical and spiritual low point in
my life. I had wanted to tell Pranada Dasi, before I died of my old
feelings for her because this was a part of my life. Naively I told her of
my prior attachment to her. I did not anticipate the result of my
confession, which was a revival of the old feelings. Thus began an illicit
and intimate romantic phone, e-mail, and letter exchange lasting over a
year. During this year she also visited me three times in Ireland, and
during one such visit, there was physical intimacy.
During this time I was diagnosed with anticipatory anxiety disorder.
Pranada became involved with my care team since she has some expertise in
handling this disorder. Of course, this was a formula for further falldown.
SDG: However, my relationship with Pranada Dasi wasn’t the sum total of my
spiritual life being at a low point.
------------------
[PADA: Srila Prabhupada says the Gurus are always residents of Vaikuntha,
SDG and his bogus ISKCON leaders say, therefore in Vaikuntha the guru is
suffering from "anticipatory anxiety disorder." Why does SDG and his team
attack the spiritual world? Anway, good admission. Pranada dasi is simply
one victim in the huge mountain of tens of thousands of other victims who
were fleeced from their money, driven out of ISKCON on a rail, beaten,
molested as children, and even murdered. And let us not forget about the
billions of other victims, the entire human society, which was supposed to
benefit by presence of the Hare Krishna movement that SDG's regime has
discredited and bankrupted.]
--------------------
** SDG: I was exhausted from the constant migraine pain and reaction to the
doctor’s supervised medical regimen. This low point also manifested in
several ways including reduced japa.
--------------------
[PADA: This is the whole problem with the bogus GBC/ Sridhara/ Narayana/
Gaura Govinda maharaja's guru project, they think that the person who is
"struggling with illicit sex, drugs, and who cannot perform japa
(regulative devotion)" is equal to God in purity and is the messiah who has
descended to save planet earth. And who wants to worship another person
like ourselves who is struggling, when everyone of the rest of us is
"struggling"? Why are we going to worship another drowning man, to save us
from drowning? No, that means we will also drown. We have to worship
someone superior to the struggling.
This "I took too many medications and this made me deviate" is the excuse
that cult leaders like Jim Jones use, "my supervised psychotropic
medications caused me to be exhausted and to misbehave." Why are gurus
taking heavy duty drugs -- while still claiming to be gurus? Satsvarupa has
made statements for more than fifteen years such as "I am the guru of
pills," "the more I chant Hare Krishna, the drier it gets," "I have doubts
about the existence of Krishna," and he always says this is due to his
constant material medical condition. Isn't the guru supposed to be
transcendental to material conditions? You mean to say that when the guru
has a headache, then Krishna becomes a dried out banana peel? And why is
ISKCON advertising that once we are pure, the chanting of God's name will
become "drier and drier" and we will suffering from doubts about the
existence of God, as well as constant headaches? Why do the bogus GBC/
Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharaja team like to advertise that
chanting God's name is some mechanical mundane dry process? This is an
insult to God and the chanting of His holy name.
In any case notice that SDG is always the victim here, he is the person we
need to give sympathy and support to, he is the poor guy who is suffering
from headaches, he is the poor guy who thinks God is a dried banana peel,
but we need not consider the suffering of his countless victims including
thousands of molested children. What about their headaches? What about the
hundreds of anal reconstructive surgeries SDG's pedophile guru process
created? Notice, he is still not admitting that he is the dry mundane
person who has created thousands of victims out of ISKCON's citizens. The
chanting of God's name is not dry, SDG is the dried out materialistic man
here, God is not dry, he is.]
------------------------
** SDG: My simple spiritual analysis of this fall is that Krsna saw some
pride in me. As a spiritual master, sannyasi, and man I failed miserably
before Prabhupada and Krsna. In November 2002 we decided to end the
relationship.
------------------------
-- [PADA: Here we go again, once we are as pure as Jesus, we will be
falling down into sex with the wives of our followers, and this is
Krishna's fault because He gave us "a test" that was too hard? Krishna
wants the pure devotees to fail because this will curb their pride? Where
is this stated in any scriptures, that once a person is as pure as Jesus,
then God will cause him to fall down with a woman to curb his pride? This
is blaming the victim, and now: blaming God as well. Does it not occur to
anyone that SDG is a cheater and not a pure devotee? And he is "failing"
because he has material lusty desires, not because Krishna is "testing the
pride" of someone like Jesus? Actually, some Christians were protesting a
play here in San Francisco because the play was saying that Jesus was being
tempted into lusty behavior, at least the Christians know that is not the
case. No, Krishna has nothing to do with SDG's material desires, that is
all caused by SDG.]
----------------------
** SDG: The way I dealt with Pranada over the years has shaken her to the
core and left her physically and emotionally devastated.
----------------------
-- [PADA: The way you dealt with everyone has left them physically and
emotionally devasted, not just Pranada. We heard that she was very sick and
no wonder, you first ordered her to quit her marriage to Vadiraja (because
Vadiraja refused to worship your child molester guru cult) and so you
forced her into divorce, which also put her child into a tragic tail spin
of being neglected. Then you married her off to a faithful follower of your
child molester pooja cult, namely Nagaraja. Then you made up some hokey
story about how gurus get headaches and need therapy, so that you could get
your paws on her breasts in your "private sessions." Never mind that gurus
are not supposed to need mundane psychotherapy?
Why does a person like Jesus need to pay a psychologist to hear about his
problems anyway? That means that psychotherapy is higher than worship of
God! So you simply confused her with all of your atheistic psycho-babble,
you got her to sympathize that she needs to "save the Jesus like saint," an
impossible task, this is simply a pipe-dream, we neophytes are not supposed
to be given the burden of saving the pure devotee guru from his lusty
desires? This simply placed an impossible burden on her shoulders, she
needs to save the messiah? And if the messiah fails, this is her fault?
This is even Krishna's fault for testing the saint? This is always someone
else's fault, not SDGs? You honor, I robbed the bank and killed people
there, but they should not have got in my way? It is their fault!
---------------------------
** SDG: I am chagrined by my behavior towards her and hope that this letter
of my taking responsibility is a step toward her healing. Since then, I
have undergone four-and-a-half years of professional psychological
counseling, continuing medical psychiatric care, and spiritual
introspection. Over the years my medicine intake has been reduced by the
doctor, so I don’t suffer from the side effects anymore-lethargy, memory
loss, confusion, etc. For the sake of honesty and spiritual improvement, I
feel it is necessary to make some adjustments in my service and position in
ISKCON.
---------------------------
[PADA: None of the above mentioned symptoms occur in any of bona fide
gurus: "professional psychological counseling, medical psychiatric care,
taking too many psychotropic drugs with resulting confusion, lethargy and
memory loss (ad infinitum)." What kind of "pure devotee" is the bogus GBC/
Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda mahraja's team foisting upon human
society? Their lusty, deluded drug addict, who is undergoing treatment for
being a crazy mad man -- is their CHEIF siddhanta document WRITER and is
their idea of "equal to God in purity"? And that is why they employ a
former punk rock girl to advise God's successors and to thus over-ride God?
That means they are attacking God directly, "God is equal to a deluded drug
addict who is lusting after people's wives." This is the bogus GBC/
Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda idea of "pure as God"? This is the person
they hand selected to write all of their "position paper" documents?]
-----------------------------
** SDG: I am back in America (Delaware), living in a humble asrama with
several men and devotee neighbors. We have a regular morning program and
chanting hours. There is facility for devotees to visit, and I welcome this
in a scheduled way as my improved health is allowing. I have felt the
importance of senior association for my continuing recovery. I have
established an open-door policy, which may be contrary to my reclusive
nature, but I think it is important to implement. I will start visiting the
holy dhamas in India as of January to beg forgiveness and accelerate my
purification. I will occasionally travel to see devotees who may not
otherwise get a chance to visit me, but in general I will remain retired
from the forefront of ISKCON preaching. I will now voluntarily implement a
peer review system for my publishing efforts-presently, I am continuing the
series A Poor Man Reads the Bhagavatam, which should go on for the rest of
my years.
-----------------------------
[PADA: Unbelievable. At age 68 SDG is finally going to start to behave like
any brand new temple brahmachari who has just joined ISKCON two days ago,
he is going to start to chant Hare Krishna for a change! And the bogus GBC
says: that makes him the guru messiah of ISKCON? And SDG has to "continue
his psychotherapy recovery," which means he is still surrendered to Sigmund
Freud and not Srila Prabhupada! And just after admitting that he is a drug
addled lusty fool, he is still going to write EVEN more books, which the
other foolish ISKCON leaders will then place into their book stores as "the
writing of a pure devotee." And this means that all along the bogus GBC/
Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharaja team has been so foolish, they
have been promoting people who are surrendered to Sigmund Freud, and his
lineage of later day psychoterapists with their newly found psychotropic
drugs, as equal to Jesus, a guru?]
---------------------------
** SDG: I will no longer give initiation nor present myself as an
initiating guru. I would encourage those who wish to take shelter of senior
Vaishnavas in ISKCON for their spiritual growth to do so. Those who wish to
continue as my disciples can hear from me through my books and website,
through personal correspondence, and whenever possible, in person.
I am now sixty-eight years old. I wish to continue my recommitment to the
sannyasa-asrama that Srila Prabhupada assigned to me. In closing, I hope
this communication will help heal the wounds and serve as a warning to
others who may become lax in their Krsna consciousness as I did.
Your servant,
Satsvarupa dasa Goswami
--------------------------------
-- PADA: [Great, "the spiritual master resides eternally in Vaikuntha,"
except -- when he forgets to take his daily dose of psychotropic pills, and
to see his female massage therapist, and to chant his rounds? Where does
the bogus GBC come up with this stuff? We need to continue to read the
books of, and take "the advise" that gurus need to take psycho-active
pills. The whole human society should follow the example of the pure, so we
all need to take such pills? And we are told that we should still "read the
books and take advice" -- i.e. we should read -- that we need to take even
more pills, and when we are pure we will be in a narcotic stupor because of
these pills. And we need to surrender to Sigmund Freud and not Krishna?
Srila Prabhupada cuts to the chase, he says that the "living guru" process
in the Gaudiya Matha was merely an excuse to consolidate (usurp) all of the
power, assets and AND MONEY of the mission into the hands of a few people.
This has certainly been what has occured in ISKCON. The "power of managing"
has gone away from the local temple president and into the hands of a few
far-flung centralized "absolute guru" authorities, which is the deviation
the leaders tried all along even when Srila Prabhupada was present on the
planet. So he warned -- do not centralize everything and simply give people
vouchers, this will create a situation where there is no enthusiasm. Srila
Prabhupada wanted de-centralized local authority to do the main managing
and to provide the local "living guidance."
The Governing Body was merely supposed to act as a national committee, a
check and balance system for the local leaders, to keep the local programs
within the guidelines of the ISKCON system established by Srila Prabhupada.
Hence the ISKCON "guru deviation" became worse because the centralized
authorties were now "gurus who are in direct communion with God," so there
has been no scope for consultation, questioning or challenging. Yet this
"over-centralized and unquestioned power" is why the bogus GBC/ Sridhara/
Naryana/ Gaura Govinda/ Tripurari/ Rocana/ Kailasha and so many others are
obsessed with creating this system. It gives them (or their pet fellows) a
tremendous scope of powers, actually almost unlimited powers -- and thus
all of the power rests in the hands of the few elite persons who are the
unquestioned "spiritual master messiahs" -- over the lives of the mass of
other devotees, and similar vast powers over the financial assets of
ISKCON, and in sum this makes a cult of extreme exploitation and siphoning
off the manpower and funds into the hands of a few elite. Thus the people
who seek power, even unlimited power as the recognized messiahs, or their
parasites, they all collectively love this system because then they can
milk ISKCON for their own benefit at the expense of the society itself.
Centralized authority is not the model Srila Prabhupada wanted. He wanted
the de-centralized local authority such as the temple president to elect a
regional manager or Governing Body representative. Thus the local devotees
would be doing most of the "hands on" managing of ISKCON, and the Governing
Body would be merely coordinating individual temples efforts to print
books, conduct combined preaching projects, and oversee that the temples
are following the standards established by Srila Prabhupada -- sort of like
a national church council. Of course as soon as we say there needs to be a
council to regulate the affairs of ISKCON, then the bogus GBC/ Sridhara/
Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharajas/ Rocana et al say -- what, you want to
"manage" the society and have "the church idea"? No, then how can we have
our policy to ban, beat, molest and assassinate dissenters if there is
"managing"? So the spiritual renegades always dislike the idea of
managaing, just the criminals dislike the idea of the police.
TEMPORARY WORSHIP OF PURE DEVOTEES NOW ALLOWED. This is why not only SDG
but his clones like Rocana offer a $10,000 reward to anyone who can "prove"
that we need to worship someone like Srila Prabhupada and not their regime
of drug addled zombie clones of a guru. Rather these deviants all say we
need to worship someone else, anyone else, or else Srila Prabhupada's
worship is "church idea." Oddly, when their guru falls down and we need to
"wait" for their guru's psychotropic pills to kick in, we get to worship
Srila Prabhupada as a sort of booby prize. "Devotees can take shelter of
Srila Prabhupada while their guru is under suspension." Yes, we are
actually allowed to temporarily halt our worship of illicit sex, drugs,
Sigmund Freud, psychotherapy, persons implcated in murders, but only for a
moment, we temporarily get the booby prize to worship a pure devotee. Yet
this too is good news, that means they are letting Srila Prabhupada put his
foot back into the door of ISKCON, albeit momentarily.
GURU REFORM Of course, no one has ever explained where the bogus GBC/
Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharaja's and SDG's idea of a "suspended
guru" and then a "re-instated guru" is ever found in the teachings of
Krishna. And what is the "star acheivement" of SDG's "guru reform" -- they
re-instated a known homosexual pedophile as ISKCON's messiah guru, so they
could continue their process of starving, beating, molesting and killing
ISKCON's children from medical neglect. Hence the collective bogus GBC
never explains why they were allowing Bhavananda's pedophile followers to
infliltrate the ISKCON schools and make "webs and nests" of molesters --
who were molesting thousands of ISKCON children right inside of the GBC's
headquarters in Mayapura and Vrndavana -- and why did they "re-instate"
that program's leaders when the molesting crisis was at its peak -- and why
did SDG harass those of us trying to rectify that problem by saying we were
"posion pens" (so SDG and his pedophile worshipping pals could keep the
molesting going on -- and get us assassinated)? And while all this was
going on SDG says he was hiding out in the Howard Johnson motels, popping
pills, so all the money that was supposed to be spent on feeding the
children was being wasted on his extravagant lusty luxury drug addict
lifestyle.
SIGMUND FREUD IS ISKCON'S NEW ACHARYA? Of course, now we find that the
ISKCON "pure as God gurus" need psychotherapy, group counseling (sometimes
called grope counseling here in California) from Pranada types and
"psychotropic drug therapy" as well. Swell! Sigmund Freud is the new
"advisor" to the messiahs! Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami's bogus GBC gurus are in
essence claiming that Krishna's guru successor needs to seek the shelter of
"psychotherapy" -- the teachings of Sigmund Freud. Yet, which previous
acharyas accepted the teachings of Sigmund Freud? None! The good news is
that Freud says that everything revolves around sex life, so this proves
bogus GBC gurus are interested in sex life, the main theme of Sigmund
Freud. Q: "Are you a guru equal Jesus"? A: "Well yes, because my therapist
says I am equal in purity to Jesus since I am taking all my daily dose of
psychotropic pills."
GURU IS ORDINARY MAN. Another problem with SDG is that his "Lilamrta"
contains many passages which indicate that he thinks that Srila Prabhupada
is an ordinary man, for example "his (Srila Prabhupada's) heart cracked
when he heard the loud bells." How does SDG know any of these things? This
is all rambling speculation. And his writings are simply chock full of such
statements, that gurus are lusty, gurus are struggling with sense desires,
gurus are drug addicts, gurus are in need of psychotropic medications,
gurus need to surrender to Sigmund Freud, etc. At the same time SDG/ bogus
GBC/ Sridhara/ Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharaja/ Rocana say that if we
worship a pure devotee "that is the Church idea." So we are left to worship
the ordinary man, not even ordinary, a person who needs to be sent to
Bellvue. So PADA would welcome the GBC to start to worship our local
garbage man, he is not having illicit sex with men, women and children, he
is not hiding out in Howard Johnson's while his children are being starved,
beat and molested, etc. why does not the SDG/ bogus GBC/ Sridhara/
Narayana/ Gaura Govinda maharaja/ Rocana/ Kailash at least worship someone
as elevated as our local garbage man? They cannot, they do not want even
ordinary man, they want to worship deviants.
KARMI LAWYER HAS TO RESCUE SDG's ABUSED CHILDREN. Once we find that the
thousands of victims of SDG's "enforced cult ritualistic worship of
homosexual pedophiles regime" are starting to commit suicide, what does
SDG's team do then? SDG's team starts another "reform" where Harikesha
promises to pay the children some minor sum of money, but then he never
come up with the money. So the suicides get worse because it looks like
there is simply no remorse at all. Then a karmi lawyer named Windle Turley
says, "We need to help these ISKCON children -- and stop the suicides, this
is an emergency." What happens next? How did you guess, Windle Turley is
then villified as "the biggest demon on the planet" -- because he wants to
save the ISKCON children from suicide. Then SDG's team spends hundreds of
thousands of dollars, not on helping the ex-children, but instead on
expensive Los Angeles lawyers to "defeat the molested children." SDG does
not realize, he has already "defeated" the children, they are dying! Yet
the bogus GBC simply meets to discuss how they can further "defeat" the
suicidal victims of SDG's child molester pooja cult.
And how did you guess what happens next? Satsvarupa's most vociferous and
best disciples, namely Sanat (Steve Voith of Angelica New york) and Mukunda
dasa (Mark Whitely of England?) start to say, it is not enought that our
regime that we served starved, beat, molested and killed these children
from medical neglect, now that the children are complaining we need to
"kill the children, chop them up, and feed their body parts to the dogs."
This is the mentality spawned by "association with the pure devotee SDG."
Rather than saying, we should be ashamed that some karmi lawyer has to be
the person who steps forward to save the ISKCON children from suicide due
to our bogus cult, AND because we are also doing nothing for the children,
they villify the whole idea that Srila Prabhupada's children's lives are
worth any more than a penny found in the ditch. The children are worthless,
who is important then? SDG is, he needs money for his drgus and sex
escapades. So this is all coming out more and more, and we hereby thank SDG
for admitting he was never a guru or a sannyasa, good stuff. thanks pd
