Mayavadis expelled from ISKCON Sweden"
I believe it was in 1981 and I was talking with Harikesa on the phone .I was telling him how some devotees had mayavadi books in the locker in the Brahmacari asrama ,because 3 devotees for some reasons had such books ,I just happened to see them and thought it was weird.Harikesa took no prisoners when he came to Korsnaas Gaard.First he gave some classes about being a person and not just a Hare Krsna zombie.Often in Sweden devotees are extremely impersonal I do not think it has changed in 40 years. But everywhere lot of devotees take shelter of being extremely impersonal Actually Harikesas classes on why even some devotees just "merge in ISKCON" and become like impersonalists was really good .I wish those classes where still there ,those where some of the best he ever gave. One Swedish devotee had joined in Copenhagen in end of 1979 and initiated I forgot his name now,since it is so many years ago . But Harikesa hammered him for being an impersonalist ,at this point he was brahmin initiated and I had been with him on bookdistribution in Stockholm a few days before and he did well .Harikesa blew my mind by kicking him out of the temple and another devotee who was a cook ,he is one of the devotees with the mayvadi books .I felt bad like hell ,I should have just kept my mouth shut ? To this day it was a bewildering experience .I recall Yasoda dulal Prabhu and myself hugged him and paid obaisences to him as he had to pack his stuff and leave the temple .I still feel bad to this day almost 40 years later.I pray for him and wonder what became of him.I wish at least I could remember his nam
