Giriraja Swami asked me an important question ,this is the question and my answer:
My dear Payonidhi Prabhu,
Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I wanted to ask you a confidential question about Aindra Prabhu. In his
appeal on Srila Prabhupada's disappearance day, he quoted Srila Bhaktivinoda
Thakura:
“In both forms of sadhana-bhakti (vaidhi and raga) guru is required. In
vaidhi-bhakti-sadhana, according to the aspirant's…

To spread the holy name around.

Exposing corruption
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
The first corruption that needs to exposed is anything in our hearts that is not favorable to bhakti, this can best be done
by us individually.If someone is acting as a bogus devotee and leader this needs to be exposed publicly.Srila Prabhupada
did not like the cooking of a chicken in New York temple, but many failed to report it due to a "chicken like mentality" .

Braja Sevika writes on Dandavats.com
Thank you for FINALLY pointing out the errant use of the word “senior” in relation to Narayan Maharaja. While he may be older in years, he is the same generation as all Prabhupada’s disciples: they are, in fact, peers.
This is not a fact, Narayana Maharaja joined Gaudiya math in 1946 or so, the disciples of Srila Prabhupada joined ISKCON in minimum 1966, so there is many years of seniority of Narayana…

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura
(1) Obtaining the shelter of the lotus feet of a genuine guru is, without a doubt, a matter of both great fortune and great dilemma for the baddha-jiva (conditioned soul). If, however, a fortunate soul has a sincere longing and ardency to attain a true guru, he does so by the mercy of Sri Krishna.
(2) The baddha-jiva is extremely insignificant; it is impossible for him to realise the magnitude of Sri Guru.
(3) One who,…

Kamsahanta Dasa Prajapati Arjuna ki-jay!
my reponse:
Ouch Kamsahanta calling Arjuna (who is a very nice devotee from Germany) a prajapati is an insult, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura also had many children ....there is no harm for a devotee to be a grhastha and have children even many , this is done according to sastra, one sannyasi once kept telling grhastha's when they had children they had become "busy " shortly after that he got busy himself in…

also Vraja Vilasa stava by Srila Raghunath das Goswami is an important book in this matter

Why Krsna Became Gauranga Mahaprabhu
by Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja
Two Kinds of Maya
Two mayas are there. One is Maha-maya, that is to say, the illusionary energy, and the other is Yoga-maya. Yoga means that which gives you an opportunity to go to Krsna. That is Yoga-maya. That which prevents, that is viyoga-maya or Maha-maya. Yoga means union. Viyoga means separation. So there are two mayas.
Viyoga-maya or Maha-maya is working in the…

GBC Resolution of 1975 number 5 states:
“5) Resolved: The selection of GBC members is that Srila Prabhupada will nominate, and if there is a discrepancy, His Grace will change him. There will be no elections, and the present GBC member will remain.”
Akruranath accused me that I wanted to take legal actions against ISKCON this is very false and
offensive,he wrote:

.Prabhupada, Geneva, June 4, 1974:There are twelve authorities mentioned in the sastra. One of them is Yamaraja. Balir vaiyasakir vayam. This is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Yamaraja is one of the GBC of Krsna. Yes. As we have got twelve GBC’s, similarly Krsna has got GBC’s. Now,
