ISKCON is full of nasty politics and for years I did not care to respond.I have already previously written about the nonsense at  ISKCON Berkely .Since Hansadutta was there this temple has been having one more crazy leader after the other just like himself.In 1994 the US BBT and Harivila das invited me to return to distribute books after at failed attempt to marry me of to some fallen female disciple of one fallen ISKCON sannyasi (he was later expelled due to his…

dear devotees Please accept my humble obaisences All glories to Srila Prabhupada Many devotees talk about Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and think their offerings of flowers will be enough on his holy disapperance day: Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura about chanting 64 rounds.

sometime when I read some of Srila Prabhupadas own disciples treatment of Srila Prabhupada I get disgusted ,there is a discussion about Icecream and one disciple added Srila Prabhupada spoke Gibberish. The fact is many of Srila Prabhupadas own disciples do not respect him , they do not regularly read his books or listen to his lectures.They find faults with Srila Prabhupada that they know better than he .His books are not good enough full of Gibberish so we need to edit them.Srila Prabhupada…

dear Pancaratna Prabhu

 Some nonsense neophyte want to use ISKCON  and Gauidya math for their Dictatorship mentality , but Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada and Srila Prabhupada said we must cooperate in KC , Srila Prabhupada wrote that no leader in ISKCON should misuse their temporary authority in this material world or they will be punished .We have no dictatorship in KC ,only demons become dictators …

I once heard this song by a devotee : Eat sleep mate and defend.... animals animals animals. The fact is in Kali yuga most are born in papa yonis sinful bellies of meat eating or materialistic women. But even when born into devotee families we see many do not take to chanting even daily 16 rounds.

 On Lord Ramachandra's appearance day , Ananda Vrindavana the TP of ISKCON DC dared start talking about  graceism and racisme. So many times at the temple she goes I am Irish I am Irish I am Irish, she repeats it as a mantra showing she is completly in the bodily concept of life.
