seeing through the eyes of scriptures

Dandavat pranams
All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Actually Radhanath Swami has promoted Krsna das a disciple of Karoli Baba, and this Krsna das is an atheist,. I choose the association of Tripurari Swami  than anyone that promotes athiests and mayavadis.Ramabhadra das
in New York says he  rather wants to associate with mayavadis than me, because I have exposed his running a bingo hall with meat prices.Tripurari Swami has also understood about Srila Prabhupadas sthiya bhava eternal relationship with Krsna, better than most in ISKCON and Narayana Maharaja .Because Srila Prabhupada revealed this to Srila Sridhara Swami  http://harmonist.us/2009/06/sakhyams-razor-revisited/   (this just touches some of this issue)
Srila Prabhupada called Tripurari Swami the incarnation of bookdistribution.But he is bad for ISKCON business   ?????  http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/news/08-12/news4405.htm .
Well material world is full of  material controversies and the spiritual world full of "controversies about Krsna"
There is some controversies also about Tripurari Swami saying that Prabhupada encouraged gays to marry gays, however he also has stated:
   
Q – Could you tell me exactly what Hinduism’s view is on sexuality and things  such as homosexuality and the concept of an Indian woman being covered from head  to toe? I read that ancient India was sexually liberated as the Kama  Sutra and the Khajuraho temple illustrate but modern Indian society is  extremely conservative and any kind of sex talk is taboo. Being an  Indian-American teenager, it’s very confusing to me. Can you explain what our  religion says about these issues?
A – “Hindu religious scripture clearly  mandates that for sexual relationships to be spiritually progressive they must  be tied to commitment, generally in the form of sacred vows of marriage. The  spirit behind this policy is that the sexual urge, which animates the world,  must be regulated if it is to be transcended.
“Hindu scripture is largely  silent on homosexuality, although it may be acknowledged in books such as the Kama Sutra, but not with regard to spiritual progress. Modern Hinduism  for the most part condemns homosexuality but misunderstands it to be an improper  choice rather than psychophysical reality that some people are born with,  rendering them as attracted to the same sex, as heterosexuals are attracted to  the opposite sex. As modern society has come to better understand this  phenomenon, it is also imperative that Hindu traditions do the same if they are  to remain vital.
“A dynamic approach in doing so might involve  encouraging homosexuals to also establish committed relationships in an effort  to help them transcend sexuality altogether, as is done in the case of  heterosexuals. Of course, such relationships would not include raising children,  which is a significant consequence, if not deterrent, to continue sexuality.  However, committed homosexual relationships may provide other impetuses for  spirituality such as more time for spiritual practice and seva to compensate for  this.
“Although my Guru Maharaja frowned on homosexuality in general, he  was also very practical, flexible, and compassionate. One of his earliest  disciples was a gay man who once related how he had ultimately discussed his  sexual orientation with Srila Prabhupada. He said that at that point Srila  Prabhupada said, ‘Then just find a nice boy, stay with him and practice Krsna  consciousness.’
“I also had the experience of meeting a transsexual who  explained her sexual orientation and confusion to Srila Prabhupada before  committing to an operation. She told me that Prabhupada told her, ‘Just pick one  or the other [sex] and stick with it.’ Those who knew him well would have  expected him to say something like this in both of these incidences. Again, he  was very flexible and compassionate.
“I believe that Hinduism originally  held a much more broadminded view on sexuality than many of its expressions do  today. Over the years Muslim and Victorian standards have had some influence on  socio-religious aspects of Hinduism, examples of which are the covering of a  woman’s body from head to toe.”

comment :   :  "He said that at that point Srila  Prabhupada said, ‘Then just find a nice boy, stay with him and practice Krsna  consciousness.’
This is a total fabrication ,and I wonder why Tripurari Swami would believe in this nonsense?
   I prefere to see the good in Radhanath Swami and Tripurari Swami....but these are some points.I do not know who reinitiates who. ISKCON Gurus has reinitated initiated disciples of Narayana Maharaja.And ISKCON claims he reinitiated some , for example most take offence to Jadurani being Shyamarani ,  though it was a nick name.Andthough I took reinitiation from Narayana Maharaja I never condoned her changing her name.She also promotes there is no Kalki avatara in the end of this Kali yuga. And some find faults:
Well then ISKCON has promoted false Gurus  like Bhavananda das that sexually molested many children, so Ananta Vasudev and Bhavananda  does not define the actual character of Srila Sridhara Swami or Srila Prabhupada or any members in ISKCON and Gaudiya math. Gaudiya math and ISKCON should be seen as brothers.Just like Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada reached out to the Madhava Sampradaya calling them brothers.
http://gosai.com/writings/a-word-to-our-madhva-brethren  Srila Prabhupada writes in Bhagavad Gita 15 chapter one should find a society of Krsna conscious persons to associate with ,he  did not say only ISKCON.This is significant.There is neophyte sannyasis in ISKCON that preach that ISKCON will take over the world.However Srila Prabhupada for example in a convrsation with George Harrison states this is not possible, but if a few persons can become KC ,the more the better then this can gradually change the world for something better...In Australia Srila Prabhupada told one mataji also that ISKCON is not meant for ruling the world this is not our business (we can not even properly maintain the temples what to speak of the world) we are brahmins meant to give spiritual advise.
Anyway this taking over the world is used to make young brahmacaries sell more books, and old trick used by Danavir and Bhkati Vikas Swami to this day, well if it makes more books being distributed? But keeping and teaching such ignorance will lead such blind followers frustrated as the whole world is not becoming KC ....and every member in ISKCON is not even ready to distribute Srila Prabhupadas books 5 days a week and do constant Harinamas so this is all just business dealings and Putana tattva teachings/
Anyway I prefere Tripurari Swami a million times to mayavadis and demigod worshippers that has previously been allowed to speak at ISKCON .Tripurari Swami is not an enemy ,he tries his best to teach bhakti and should be respected.
When I exposed demigod worship in ISKCON Potomac in 1995 , I was asked to leave the temple, I stayed with some disciples of Tripurari Swami  for 3 months, and one day I talked with Sesa who asked if I had joined ,Tripurari Swami, I should have said yes because Tripurari Swami never allows mayavadis to preach in the temple room like Sesa and Anuttama and others allowed.....Srila Sridhara Swami and Srila Prabhupada was close they should be seen as god brothers ...Gaudiya math is not the enemy maybe an uncontrolled mind is????
Solution? Chant Hare Krishna and go back home fo Godhead.

PS By the way the GBC asked Srila Sridhara Swami for some advise after Prabhupada passed away, so later he was blamed also for the opulent worship and uncontrolled power of the 11 Gurus, that even made their godbrothers worship them....he had nothing to do with this at all ...
I like to humbly advise the readers of this to the holy words of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada:
He is strongly warning:
The church that has the best chance of survival in this damned world is that  of atheism under the convenient guise of theism. The churches have always proved  the staunchest upholders of the grossest form of worldliness from which even the  worst of non-ecclesiastical criminals are found to recoil.
It is not from any deliberate opposition to the ordained clergy that these  observations are made. The original purpose of the established churches of  the world may not always be objectionable. But no stable religious arrangement  for instructing the masses has yet been successful. The Supreme Lord Sri  Caitanya Mahaprabhu, in pursuance of the teachings of the scriptures enjoins all  absence of conventionalism for the teachers of the eternal religion. It does not  follow that the mechanical adoption of the unconventional life by any person  will make him a fit teacher of religion. Regulation is necessary for  controlling the inherent worldliness of conditional souls.
But no mechanical regulation has any value, even for such a purpose. The  bona-fide teacher of religion is neither any product of nor the favourer of, any  mechanical system. In his hands no system has likewise, the chance of  degenerating into a lifeless arrangement
. The mere pursuit of fixed  doctrines and fixed liturgies cannot hold a person to the true spirit of  doctrine or liturgy.
The idea of an organised church in an intelligible form, indeed, marks the  close of the living spiritual movement. The great ecclesiastical establishments  are the dikes and the dams to retain the current that cannot be held by any such  contrivances. They, indeed, indicate a desire on the part of the masses to  exploit a spiritual movement for their own purpose.
They also unmistakably  indicate the end of the absolute and unconventional guidance of the bona-fide  spiritual teacher. The people of this world understand preventive systems, they  have no idea at all of the unprevented positive eternal life. Neither can there  be any earthy contrivance for the permanent preservation of the life eternal on  this mundane plane on the popular scale.
from his article about Putana tattva ...
