Will
HH Bhakti Charu
Swami take the next step?
Will HH Bhakti Charu Swami take the next step?
Date: 07. Feb. 2000
Dear Prabhus:
PAMHHO, AGTSP, and Hare Krishna. I like to share few thoughts about
resignation of HH Bhakti Charu Swami from the GBC.
First, I would like to thank Ameyatma Prabhu
for continuing his efforts for protecting
and upholding Srila Prabhupada's name, fame, and his teachings. He has made
many good points in his letter to HH BCS and JPS.
Second, in this case, Dhyankund Devi made
the initial offense of belittling
Srila Prabhupada and Madhusudani Radha made the second offense by allowing/
publishing/ supporting such offenses and by removing Mahananda Prabhu from
the conference because he challenged such belittling taking place on a
public WEB site claiming to be friend of the GBC but not controlled by the
GBC (one may ask then how is the GBC final authority of ISKCON if you can
not be controlled by the GBC? You see! These guys are
openly defying the GBC.)
Third, the greatest offense was made by
the ISKCON leaders (GBCs, Gurus,
Sanyasis, TPs) who did nothing to challenge Dhyankund's views belittling
Srila Prabhupada. One has to conclude that the ISKCON GBCs and Gurus must
think that there is nothing wrong in views expressed by Dhyankunda and
others. So belittling of Srila Prabhupada continues.
Fourth, so in this regard every one should
appreciate that HH Bhakti Charu
Swami has recognized his failure to protect the name and fame of Srila
Prabhupada and has resigned as GBC. As Vidurji walked out from the kingdom
of corrupt kurus, this statement accepting his failure by HH BCS may bring
some thing good. At least GBC junta has to face the fact that one of them
made his displeasure with them known to the public.
Fifth, one may raise few questions as to
why HH BCS resigned from the GBC
and what would he accomplish by doing it? Why did he not stay within the
system and try to correct the system? Is he resigning because of this issue
or many more issues? One may feel that BCS must have lost hope and felt
that the GBC junta and Gang of Rubber Stamped Gurus is beyond repair.
Otherwise, why resign?
Sixth, one may ask where was HH BCS over
the last 22 years during which
more than 90% of Srila Prabhupada's disciples have been driven away, once
flourishing North American temples have been empty at least for last 15
years, Back To Godhead Magazine circulation has gone down from 1 million a
month in 1975 to less than 10 thousand a month now.
Seventh, one may further ask where was
HH BCS over the last 22 years during
which so many men, women, and children were intimidated, raped, molested,
and some devotees have been even murdered. One can give benefit of doubt
and conclude that better late then never that HH BCS has now awakened.
Eighth, most will agree that the GBC junta
is a very clever gang of
politicians expert at manipulating people despite their well known
mistakes, if not crimes. They make statement to soften up any one who
starts to doubt or question them or any thing that in not in line of their
thoughts. HH BCS admits how he himself was softened up when he says: "As
a
matter of fact a couple of months back I voiced my concern about this
issue in the com after receiving a letter from Shyamasundar Prabhu. And
when Jayapataka Maharaj mentioned that she apologized for her mistake I
felt satisfied and decided to drop the issue.". But then he says: "However,
now I can see that that apology was not real".
Ninth, the
question is what will HH BCS do now and what will the GBC junta
and gang of Gurus will do to HH BCS? Tenth, HH BCS says in his resignation
letter: "I don't know Ameyatma Prabhu personally, nevertheless, I hear
his
voice as the echo of the helpless cry of many sincere followers of Srila Prabhupada.
I feel extremely regretful about my inability to do anything to defend Srila
Prabhupada's honor and protect his ISKCON. Therefore, I hear by submit my
resignation from the GBC as one of its members."
Eleventh, my suggestion is that Maharaj
should become fearless and expose
all nonsense that has gone within the ISKCON walls for last 22 years. Full
house cleaning is required. No use giving up. You have been teaching
Bhagavad Gita so long. How can you give up? What is meaning of words like
"yuddhaya krit nischaya" and "hato va prapyasi swargam"
etc. Maharaj, do
not give up but stand up and fight.
Twelfth, apology and regrets have purpose.
Apology should mean admission of
mistake, repentance for the mistake, restitution, and correction in
behavior. Without these elements apology has no meaning. The fake or forced
apology has no meaning. So now act to promote the truth. Thirteenth, now
you have unshackled your self from the trappings of GBC junta. Even then
the GBC junta will try to pacify you and some how try to
keep you in their control. But will you take the next step? Maharaj, will
you act as an unshackled brave and free men seeking the truth, listening
the truth, promoting the truth and uprooting the evil no matter where you
find it? This has to be the conclusion after one wakes up from the regrets
and feelings of inability. Surely, you can do at least few things.
Fourteenth, Otherwise, Maharaj, the mood
of pastering each other with
praise will continue in GBC junta without your leadership, as pointed out
by Ameyatma Prabhu. Here is the Sanskrit verse: Ustranam grahe lagnam,
gardabhaha shanti pathakaha | parasparam prashasanti, aho rupam, aho dvani ||
Once there was a marriage ceremony at the house of
the camels, and donkeys
were invited as priests (rittviks) to perform peace ceremony. But what
happened is that during the occasion they lavishly praised each other. The
donkeys praised beautiful features of the camels and the camels praised the
sweet voice of the donkeys. Maharaj,
you said: "I hear his voice as the echo
of the helpless cry of many sincere followers of Srila Prabhupada".
Please take the next step and do some thing, even if it may be too little.
So many devotees are looking for good leaders. Please be one.
Thank you and Hare Krishna.
Your friend and humble servant, Gadadhar Dasa

Comment by Aruna Das
BCS why are you dancing on the peace ceremony of Donkeys and Camels to be lavishly
praised by them and than resign from the GBC after plotting with them, posing
as an exclusive
living successor link, preaching bogus philosophy, exploiting Srila Prabhupada's
disciples, temples and legacy? Why don’t you resign from your big false ego
and return to Srila Prabhupada’s Iskcon what you have stolen.
You certainly are a great guru, but a great bogus guru. You can not deceive
us with your artificial sweet bengali smile because we know by turning around
you will stab devotees in their back with your living guru concoction, declaring
Srila Prabhupada as a dead link. You are a real "goo-roo"
In one of his letters Ganapati & Prabhupadanugas write: "until main "goo-roo" players are locked into life-sentence prisons, or executed on the electric chairs, it is better to have no temples at all."
We agree, (with the electric chair).
