Prabhupada disciples needs to set a standard and follow Prabhupada

I just wrote this to Bhrgupati Prabhu
Prabhupada disciples needs to see a standard and follow Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada set standards for ISKCON chanting on beads he said :
My request to all of you is that you very seriously stick to the principles of devotional service as you have learned them, and especially observe strictly the four prohibitions and without fail always chant at least 16 rounds on your beads daily. In this way you will be always happy.
We can follow his example, however, by chanting sixteen rounds of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra on beads every day and offering respect to the tulasi plant. This is not at all difficult for anyone, and the process of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra with a vow before the tulasi plant has such great spiritual potency that simply by doing this one can become spiritually strong. Therefore we request the members of the Hare Krishna movement to follow Haridasa Thakura’s example rigidly. Chanting sixteen rounds does not take much time, nor is offering respects to the tulasi plant difficult. The process has immense spiritual potency. One should not miss this opportunity. (Caitanya-caritamrta Antya-lila 3.100)
Some Prabhupada disciples like Bhanu Swami does not wear Vaisnava tilaka some Prabhupada disciples teach it is ok to take grains on Visnutattva days , if you are Prahbupada disciples you all better Damn well follow Srila Prabhupada , because for years we have tolerated deviant Prabhupada disciples
I was having to leave the temple so I could continue distribute Srila Prabhupadas books because I was tired of selling illegal paintings, Srila Prabhupada wrote in his many letters Stop sellings anything in ISKCON BUT MY BOOKS ..I was in ISKCON Brooklyn last year for Prabhupadas Vaysa puja and Janmastami grains were served by Hansarupa Prabhu on Janmastami how long we have to tolerate deviant Prabhupada disciples ? I am not trying to be to much a hardliner but chanting on beads should be done , fasting from grains on Janmastami yes it is a must Srila Sanatana Goswami supports this statement in his Digdarshini Tika where he states, “Just as one follows the rules of fasting on each Ekadasi, the same rules should be followed for fasting on Janmastami.
Prabhupada disciples want to get the respect but also need to act accordingly , Bhanu Swami would never have dared showed up in front of Srila Prabhupada without Gopi chandan ? What is his aversion to Gopi chandan ? Lord Caitanya send students back from His school in Navadvipa untill they showed up with tilaka now why is Bhanu Swami so deviant to show up day by day at GBC meetings without Gopichandan on his forehead?
If anyone has any doubts about wearing gopichandan look up Srila Prabhupada many quotes and see chapter 11 of my book Vaisnava Amrta that glorifies wearing Gopi chandan
from Garga Samhita
maha-nadinam snanasya
punyam tasya dine dine
ngopi-chandana-mudrabhir
mudrito yah sada bhavet
A person who daily wears gopi-chandana tilaka attains the pious result of daily bathing in all sacred rivers.
By the way in 2010 Bhanu Swami stated to Sri Vallabha Yatra leader of ISKCON Dubai that devotees do not need to fast from grains on Nityananda trayodasi thus contradicting Srila Prabhupada and Srila Sarvabhauma Bhattacaryas who in his 108 names of Lord Nityananda state all devotees on Nityananda Trayodasi fast (full day fasting or at least fast from grains )
