Kamalakanta das attack on President Obama

[Paramananda das]

dear devotees

Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Personally I am of the opinion if there was some more democrazy in ISKCON the leaders would have to be accountabel, that is why Srila Prabhupada established the DOM ,Document of Management, however it was not implemented but still remains a legal document for ISKCON  .

Srila Prabhupadas supporting instruction for his DOM

My Dear  Mukunda das:

Please  accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated September 22, 1974  and have noted the contents. Regarding the election  of President, a president can only be changed by vote. If no vote was taken,  then the president cannot be changed. Neither Hamsaduta can change the president  whimsically or can anybody else change the president. According the "Direction of Management'' the GBC cannot change the President but only by vote can it  be done. The GBC's business is to see that  the President and the members are doing nicely, following the regulative  principles, and chanting 16 rounds and that other things are going on  nicely.

If it  was decided by vote that Hamsaduta would select the president then Hamsaduta is  right. Without authority Hamsaduta cannot change the election. If the vote was in favor of Madhavananda, then  Hamsaduta cannot whimsically change the vote. But, if by vote he was authorized  to select the president, then whomever he selects is right. I was not informed  by my secretary that Hamsaduta was authorized by vote to make the selection.  But, why was Hamsaduta authorized if the vote was already taken? This I do not  know.

On the whole I understand there are so many contradictions, so  in the presence of all members you may take the vote again and decide  finally.

You may inform Prabhavisnu that I have received his letter dated  22/9/74.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta  Swami ACBS/bs

Letter to: Rupanuga: Bombay 7  November, 1974

Washington, DC

My Dear Rupanuga das:

Please  accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated November 1, 1974  with enclosed clipping. But, I have not yet received the report of the inquiry  commission investigating the charges against Bali Mardan. (Later on heard  something by telephone message to Brahmananda)

Regarding  your GBC report, at the Buffalo farm the deer were eating daily the crop or all  at once? Regarding Boston, it is a better house they have now purchased? What is  the price and what are the facilities? Regarding the book distribution  increasing in Philadelphia. yes we are getting such reports of increasing book  distribution from all over. In L.A. they have sold over 600 copies of the new  Srimad-Bhagavatam in one weekend.

Atlanta  facility of 10 acre and 3 building sounds very nice. Purchasing or renting  doesn't matter. Only here in India is a purchased house more important than a  rented house. The prasadam program must be continued and increased. It is very  good program for attracting the students. They have never tasted this kind of  foodstuffs. Regarding Miami that you want to replace  Abhirama, yes a capable man must be there, what can be done. But I have already  written that he can marry that girl and divorce his wife. Regarding  Washington, D.C., that Damodara is also resigning, we are increasing in so many  ways, but our men are deteriorating. What to do? Regarding Gainesville  installation of Gaura-Nitai, where did you get the murtis from?

I hope this  meets you in good health.

N.B. Regarding replacing Abhirama and Damodara I refer to the "Direction of Management'' as follows: "Removal of a Temple President by GBC  requires support by the local Temple members.'' Therefore you should take a vote of the Temple  members and do the needful. A.C. B.S.

Kamalakanta das is angry President Obama became elected president of United States:

Calling him a Raksasa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raksasa

'The President is not a man eater or a cannibal , it sounds like this Kamalakanta is a racist that thinks all black bodied persons are Raksasas?

Sounds like he is frustrated Romney did not win.That is all.He sounds like he was born in the deep south of United States where rednecks still call black bodied persons for niggers and have Ku klux klan and federate flags.

He is a republican no doubt:

He quotes:

Srimad  Bhagavatam 5.14.16:

"Government men  are always like carnivorous demons called Rakshasas [man-eaters]. Sometimes  these government men turn against the conditioned soul and take away all his  accumulated wealth. Being bereft of his life's reserved wealth, the conditioned  soul loses all enthusiasm. Indeed, it is as though he loses his life."

PURPORT

The word rāja-kula-rakṣasā is very significant. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was compiled about five thousand years ago, yet government men are referred to as Rākṣasas, or carnivorous demons. If government men are opposed to a person, that person will be bereft of all his riches, which he has accumulated with great care over a of time. Actually no one wants to pay — even government men themselves try to avoid these taxes — but at unfavorable times income taxes are exacted forcibly, and the taxpayers become very morose.

However Lord Ramachandra also  had income tax, how can a country run without taxes being paid? The more money one makes the more taxes one should pay this is civilized .

then he quotes:

Lecture in  Bombay, March 22, 1974:

"The first  teaching of Bhagavad-gita should be taken by the persons who are going to be  elected in the government service. The public should be aware of this. If  somebody comes to canvass for votes, you should first inquire, "Have you have  read Bhagavad-gita? Mahatma Gandhi read Bhagavad-gita. Why shouldn't you? Do you  know what is Bhagavad-gita? If so, then I will give you my vote. Otherwise, get  out."… It is a great necessity that government men must study Bhagavad-gita.  Otherwise, don't give them vote."

President Obama has met with Radhanath Swami and I am sure he will be glad to read Bhagavad Gita, we should send him a copy, address is there if you need it.

Bill Clinton got Srila Prabhupadas books , I sold one to Chelsea Clinton once ( Sri Isopanisad)  and later gave her  a copy when I recognized it was her SSR and one for her dad.This year he hugged a sankirtana devotee who gave him Bhagavad Gita.

Kamalakanta   is even angry US killed Anwar Awlaki he was a main person in the  al-Qaeda that motivated person to attack US on 9/11 2001. I guess he thinks Anwar Awlaki would  have made a better president than Obama.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Aulaqi

Kamalakanth you want a white house with Rebel flag or Muslim flag ? You call Obama a demon, I think you are the demon.And you dare tell black bodied devotees they are all in the bodily concept.You are crazy.Surprised he was not angry President Obama had Osama bin Laden killed? Oh you properly are one of the republicans that think and preach Osama and Obama are the same....

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS,  INCORPORATED

FOUNDER-ACHARYA: HIS DIVINE  GRACE

A. C.  BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA

---

DIRECTION OF

I, the undersigned, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami,  disciple of Om Visnupad Paramhansa 108 Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati  Gosvami Maharaj Prabhupada, came in the United States in 1965 on September 18th  for the purpose of starting Krishna Consciousness Movement. For one year I had  no shelter. I was travelling in many parts of this country. Then in 1966, July,  I incorporated the Society under the name and style the International Society  for Krishna Consciousness, briefly ISKCON. was Mr. J. Goldsmith. Gradually the Society  increased, and one after another branches were opened. Now we have got  thirty-four (34) branches enlisted herewith:

Amsterdam,  Holland Atlanta, Georgia..............1476 Oxford Rd. N.E.  30322 Baltimore, Maryland...........1300 N. Calvert St. Berkeley,  California..........2710 Durant Avenue 94704 Berlin, West Germany Boston,  Massachusetts........ 40 N. Beacon St. 02134 Boulder,  Colorado.............623 Concord St. Buffalo, New York.............40  Englewood Ave. 14214 Chicago, Illinois.............2210 N.

Washington,  D.C...............2015 Q Street N.W. 20009

As we have increased our volume of activities, now I think  a Governing Body Commission (hereinafter referred to as the GBC) should be  established. I am getting old, 75 years old, therefore at any time I may be out  of the scene, therefore I think it is necessary to give instruction to my  disciples how they shall manage the whole institution. They are already managing  individual centers represented by one president, one secretary and one  treasurer, and in my opinion they are doing nice. But we want still more  improvement in the standard of Temple management, propaganda for Krishna  Consciousness, distribution of books and literatures, opening of new centers and  educating devotees to the right standard.

Therefore, I have decided to adopt the following principles  and I hope my beloved disciples will kindly accept them. There was a meeting in  San Francisco during the Ratha Yatra festival 1970 and many presidents of the  centers were present. In that meeting it was resolved that an ad hoc committee  be set up to form the constitution which is taken into consideration. My duty  was to first appoint twelve (12) persons to my free choice amongst my disciples  and I do it now and their names are as follows:

1. Sriman  Rupanuga Das Adhikary 2. Sriman Bhagavandas Adhikary 3. Sriman  Syamsundar Das Adhikary 4. Sriman Satsvarupa Das Adhikary 5. Sriman  Karandhar Das Adhikary 6. Sriman Hansadutta Das Adhikary 7. Sriman  Tamala Krsna Das Adhikary 8. Sriman Sudama Das Adhikary 9. Sriman Bali  Mardan Das Brahmacary 10. Sriman Jagadisa Das Adhikary 11. Sriman  Hayagriva Das Adhikary 12. Sriman Krsnadas Adhikary

These personalities are now considered as my direct  representatives. While I am living they will act as my zonal secretaries and  after my demise they will be known as Executors.

I have already awarded Sannyas or the renounced order of  life to some of my students and they have also got very important duties to  perform in this connection. The Sannyasis will travel to our different centers  for preaching purpose as well as enlightening the members of the center for  spiritual advancement. The Sannyasis will suggest for opening new centers in  suitable places and the GBC will take action on it. As was stipulated by the ad  hoc committee, the function of the GBC will be as follows with particulars:

PARTICULARS OF THE GOVERNING BODY COMMISSION

"The purpose of the Governing Body Commission is to act as  the instrument for the execution of the Will of His Divine Grace. And further,

1. The GBC oversees all operations and management of  ISKCON, as it receives direction from Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Grace has  the final approval in all matters.

2. His Divine Grace will select the initial 12 members of  the GBC. In the succeeding years the GBC will be elected by a vote of all Temple  presidents who will vote for 8 from a ballot of all Temple presidents, which may  also include any secretary who is in charge of a Temple. Those 8 with the  greatest number of votes will be members for the next term of GBC. Srila  Prabhupada will choose to retain four commissioners. In the event of Srila  Prabhupada's absence, the retiring members will decide which four will remain.

3. The commissioners will serve for a period of 3 years,  and they may be re-elected at the end of this period.

4. The chairman is elected by the GBC for each meeting. He  has no veto power, but in even of a vote tie, his vote will decide. The same  will apply for votes cast by mail between regular meetings.

5. Throughout the year, each of the commissioners will stay  with His Divine Grace for one month at a time and keep the other commissioners  informed of His Divine Grace's instructions.

6. The primary objective of the GBC is to organize the  opening of new Temples and to maintain the established Temples.

7. Advice will be given by the GBC in cases of real  property purchases, which will be in the name of ISKCON, INC. (Trucks or other  vehicles will be purchased in the name of the local president).

8. Removal of a Temple president by the GBC requires  support by the local Temple members.

9. The GBC has no jurisdiction in the publication of  manuscripts, which will be handled by a separate committee; profits to be  returned to Srila Prabhupada."

So far my books are  concerned, I am setting up a different body of management known as the  BHAKTIVEDANTA BOOK TRUST. The trustees of this body are also members of the GBC,  but their function is not dependent on the GBC. ISKCON Press was created for the  exclusive publication of my books and literatures and should be continued in  that way. During my absence no one shall live in my apartment.
