Bhaktabhasa .shadow devotees

[Paramananda das]

 

dear devotees 

Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 One siksa disciple of mine was very disturbed by how some devotees treat me, I told him not to worry everything is controlled by Krsna : 

queen Kunti prayed for troubles here is why :

 vipadaḥ santu tāḥ śaśvat
tatra tatra jagad-guro
bhavato darśanaṁ yat syād
apunar bhava-darśanam

I wish that all those calamities would happen again and again so that we could see You again and again, for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths.

 

 janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrībhir
edhamāna-madaḥ pumān
naivārhaty abhidhātuṁ vai
tvām akiñcana-gocaram

My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of [material] progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling.

 

I recall one time in ISKCON Denmark I was bringing my Govardhana Sila and Ugra Narasimha Salagrama sila down to the alter  ,this was at a farm we had (in Broerup the place is called) so the floor was bounching when devotees jumbed on it ,I had told devotees before to be careful they may knock the  Ugra Narasimha Salagrama sila of the alter or GiriGovardhana but the TP who always had something against me kept jumping close to the alter stepping harder so both Silas where knocked of Their beautiful Silver asanas and on the floor. i immidiatly placed them back on their asanas and asked again to not jumb on the floor.They then went and complained to Harikesa my then ISKCON diksa Guru and he chastised me without knowing what took place. 

 I told his his godbrother Astaratha das that was then an ISKCON Guru and headpujari at ISKCON Germany recenly had lost his salagrama sila that he kept in a locket into some icecream while taking prasadam at a preachingprogram in Italy ,it simply fell out and next day the devotees found the Salagrama sila in the icecream.

But in ISKCON if you are not initiated by Srila Prabhupada , you are just considered like dirt and a nobody really . 

Anyhow Harikesa left ISKCON ,the TP dancing and bouncing on the floor left ISKCON and Astaratha das left ISKCON and I have only once seen him in Vrindavana where he was serving cows under the shelter of some Vrijabasi sadhu .

 

"‘A prakrta-bhakta, or materialistic devotee, does not purposefully study the sastra and try to understand the actual standard of pure devotional service. Consequently he does not show proper respect to advanced devotees. He may, however, follow the regulative principles learned from his spiritual master or from his family who worships the Deity. He is to be considered on the material platform, although he is trying to advance in devotional service. Such a person is a bhakta-praya [neophyte devotee], or bhaktabhasa, for he is a little enlightened by Vaisnava philosophy.'

CC Madhya 22.74

Recently I was attacked as usual at ISKCON Potomac by Palaka das a ritvik fellow that I am chanting Hare Ramo , who cares what such an idiot says.

Some devotees came to me and said Prabhu we heard you chant Hare Rama you never chanted Hare Ramo at all.I told them there is a bengali saying:

What a fool can not  speak and a goat not eat .

So many of the local socalled Prabhupada disciples do not know the KC philosophy nicely because they do not really have the qualifications of brahmanas, they do not  chant their rounds or their gayatri mantras even . Some of them have fallen down with mayadevis though married also .One  have stolen money from the temple in the past while serving as a TP and recently had illicit sex with a Spanish woman but his kirtanas is much liked his name is Sastivara, so a society of cheaters and the cheated .His wife told me that time when he had left her and asked my advise, I told her, he has middle age life crisis he will properly come back and he did several months later. 

  When I asked Palaka das what is the meaning of Hare Rama he said Hare is Radharani and Rama is Lord Balarama , I said no   ,Hare is Radha and Rama is Krsna in the Mahamantra. So he prints so many On chanting Hare Krsna magazines  with the ritvik group KBI. but he does not know the real meaning of Hare Krsna.But Braja Bihari and Ananda Vrindavanesvari is worshipping such fellows like Palaka das as a great devotee .Well it is just neophyte politics and ISKCON is always full of it always have been and always will be full of it.Do not worry about me I am fine .

 your servant

 Palaka was furious I distributed BBT books on Janmastami for ISKCON Potomac temple ,this is why he offended me the next day ,because it was not the KBI ritvik books
