seeing through the eyes of scriptures

why not just accept Srila Prabhupada and Sastra ?

Is "Sri Lanka" the Lanka of the Ramayana? (shyamasundaradasa.com)
Shyamasundara das the socalled ISKCON astrologer wrote this misinformation that Sri Lanka is not the place where Lord Ramachandra went,Listen to any lecture of Srila Prabhupada about Ramanavami where Srila Prabhupada states in many places ,that Sri Lanka Cylon is the place of Ravanas kingdom .
It is mentioned in many sastras and confirmed by acaryas, there is the Rama setu from Ramesvarama to Sri Lanka ,there are plenty of evidence of the Rama sethu and the British called it Adams bridge
Adam's Bridge - Wikipedia ,Floating stones with the name Sri Rama can still be seen in temples of Ramesvaram defying gravity ,But Shyamasundara has never been to Ramesvaram like I have , or properly studied Srila Prabhupadas books, because Srila Prabhupada also mentiones in CC that Sri Lanka is the place of Ravana .It is sad when Srila Prabhupadas own disciples become like Judas and denie his teachings. Jayadvaita Swami once challenged Srila Prabhupada about Ahovalam ,being the place of Lord Narasimhas apperance, Srila Prabhupada did not even want to waste his time with JAS childish foolishness, but told he at least you accept Lord Narasimha is everywhere.In this way many Srila Prabhupadas disciples are speculators that have destroyed Srila Prabhupadas teachings.Jadurani claimed Kalki does not appear at the end of this Kali yuga because of Lord Caitanya.Completly contradicting Srimad Bhagavatam and Srila Prabhupada .Many ISKCON temples now challenge fasting on Visnutattva days , and serve grains , ignoring that is detrimental for going back to Godhead.One of the fools opposed to fasting on Visnutattva days is Madhavananda a disciple of Gaura Govinda Maharaja in name only.Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja would strictly fast on Visnuttatva days but not his in name disciple Madhavananda das.He believes it is ok to take grains on Ramanavami ,when Haribhakti Vilasas states if you take grains on Ramanavami you go to hell .

prāpte śrī-rāma-navamīdine martyo vimūḍha-dhīḥ
upoṣaṇaṁ na kurute
kumbhīpākeṣu pacyate
Translation: Moreover, a foolish mortal who does not observe fasting on the arrival of
the Rāma-navamī day gets cooked in the fires of the various Kumbhīpāka hells.

So this process should be adopted, how to become sukrtina. Sukrti means yajna-dana-tapa-kriya. One must perform sacrifices as prescribed in the sastras, and they must give in charity their hard-earned money for Krsna's cause. That is called dana. Yajna, dana, and tapasya. Tapasya. Just like tomorrow is Sri Rama-navami. The tapasya will be that all the devotees will observe fasting from morning till evening. This is called tapasya. Just like Ekadasi day--there is no eating sumptuously. Simply you take little fruits and flowers. Try to avoid that also. You don't take even water. That is really ekadasi. But because we cannot do it--in the Kali-yuga the time is different--therefore we are allowed to take little fruit and milk, which is called anukalpa. These are different methods of tapasya. And yajna. This yajna, sankirtanaih prayair yajnaih, yajanti hi su-medhasah. In this age you cannot perform that big asvamedha yajna, gomedha yajna, rajasuya yajna, so many other yajnas. It is not possible. First of all, you have no means to perform such yajnas, hundreds and hundreds of tons ghee required for putting into the sacrificial fire. You have not even a drop of your ghee. So forget all those yajnas. In this age, yajnaih sankirtanaih prayaih.

Please accept my blessings. I am sorry I am delayed to reply your letter dated March 14, 1968, which I received over a week ago. I am very glad that you are repentant even for some action which is not sanctioned by me. This attitude is very nice and improves one in progressing on the path of devotional service. The Rakhi Bandhan ceremony observed by you under instruction of Prasad isn't approved by our Vaisnava rituals. Of course, such ceremony is observed among the Hindu community as a socio-religious convention. But in our Vaisnava community there is no such observance. Now, forget the incidence, and in future don't be misled by some unauthorized person. Our next ceremony is Lord Ramacandra's Birthday, on the 7th of April. It should be observed in the same way as Lord Caitanya's Appearance Day, namely, fasting up to evening and then accept Prasadam, and all our ceremonies should be performed with continuous Kirtana, of Hare Krishna, Hare Rama. That will make all our functions successful.

68-03-28.Letter: Mahapurusa
So far the Advent Day of Lord Rama Candra, it should be celebrated as Lord Caitanya's Birthday was done. Fasting up to evening, and then take prasadam, and chant Hare Krishna whole day, and be engaged in reading and chanting off and on, chant for some time, then read for some time, then again have Kirtana and so on, throughout the day. If you have not got a Ramayana, then you can read Bhagavad-gita or Srimad-Bhagavatam, that is all right.

Prabhupada: Rama-navami is upavasa up till the... Go to observe fasting up to the evening.
Tamala Krsna: So moon.
Prabhupada: Sunset.

Since many years I learned not to listen to any disciple of Srila Prabhupada when they speak against sastra and Srila Prabhupada,

even a bhakta knows better : BhaktaRobin

to Prabhupadanuga
Hari Bol,
please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Shyamasundara Dasa (an so called ISKCON Astrologer) was again proven false in this nice article:
http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/06-16/editorials13979.htm

I have some experience with this guy myself.
When I was suffering from a severe health problem he told me to do fire sacrifices for 10000US$, which is totally rediculous.
He never told me about the inexpensive/free remedies like Narayana Kavacha given by Srila Prabhupada in the SB!

Despite the fact that Srila Prabhupada was against astrology, these ISKCON astrologers fool the innocent neophytes with their charlatan business.
Here is the proof Srila Prabhupada was against astrology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUtSme0pY6E

I have experienced myself that the so called astrologers and Brahmanas of ISKCON are just cheating people and in Kali Yuga, you can not trust a Brahmana like in other Yugas.
This is the lessons many devotees will have to learn, if they want to survive in this Kali Yuga and give up blind faith into the Brahmana class.

Listen to Srila Prabhupada not to Shyamasundara, Jadurani and Jayadvaita Swami (who has distorted Srila Prabhupadas with his mental speculationes, such as even omitting Lord Ramachandra and removing lines in Srila Prabhupadas purport to Bhagavad Gita 10.31 . thus gradually ISKCON will become a dangerous cult due to the wrong teachings of Srila Prabhupadas discipels ,anyone that teach anything opposed to sastra is a fool , not all disciple of Srila Prabhupadas disciples teach nonsense. Be careful
