Dear Sriman Hansadutta das prabhu: Pamho. AgtSP. Hare Krsna! Please take look at this, Minutes of ISKCON GBC Annual General Meeting [alternatively, view at Dandavats.com]. Please pay particular attention to the portion on female diksha gurus. — YS, Saranga Thakur das
The Bhaktivedantas World Sankirtan Party and Inside Nam Hatta are hosted by Hansadutta das, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada and trustee of The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. Participate or learn more about World Sankirtan Party.
So all this talk in regards to re-uniting, reconciliation and surveys of Prabhupada's disciples for the 1996 Centennial is simply bogus, an unnecessary diversion from the real issue at hand, which is that we are already united as Prabhupada's disciples. No devotee will say he doubts Prabhupada's purity or integrity. All devotees love Prabhupada, and they know Prabhupada loves them. This issue is not in question. The question is: "Do Prabhupada's GBC, guru-acharyas love Prabhupada's disciples?" And if they do, then let them SHOW IT BY DOING AS PRABHUPADA WOULD DO! If you can't think, speak and act like Prabhupada, then how can you present yourselves as Prabhupada's representatives?? Or is it that your ambition is to corral Prabhupada's disciples into your dying institution? more
Dear Saranga Thakur Prabhu, obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Numbers 313 ["Restriction of Participation in ISKCON"] and 315 ["Discipline of Devotees Approved to act as Initiating Gurus"] got the most text space in the list of resolutions. Negative management – no positive devotional solution, only negative management.
No one can say YES, everyone can say NO. Lots of Ministries, reviews, commitees and other bureaucratic tools are available to avoid the responsibility (ability to respond) for these mediocre, dead-headed leaders – to help them avoid the decisions nescessary to lead.
Napoleon said, "I would rather be a sheep in an army of sheep led by a LION, than to be a LION in an army of LIONS led by a sheep."
The ISKCON movement is full of lions, but all the leaders are SHEEP, and the main leader is a wolf in sheeps clothing – Jayadvaita Swami, along with the rascal Fedorowski.
Now just study the situation with a sober eye and tell me if I am mistaken.
Your servant,
Hansadutta das
