Foolish devotees banned pure devotees like Srila Narayana Maharaja and Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja

There were many temples in ISKCON that banned both Srila Narayana Maharaja and Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja ? Why is this ? Because the material world is full of envy and the materialistic devotees cannot appreciate pure devotees and pure teachings, they are like owl like non devotees we see nowadays very few chant 64 rounds as they are materialistic, but Lord Caitanya requested we all chant this much minimum and avoid the 10 offenses, now ISKCON has become so fallen many temples take grains on Visnutattva days. ? According to Srila Sanatana Goswami in Haribhakti Vilasa anyone who takes grains on Ekadasi and Visnutattva days are asuras ,he makes it very clear. I spend many years in ISKCON temples and was asked in 1984 to leave the temple because I was opposed to selling anymore illegal Hong Kong paintings,, ISKCON had sunk so low, because Srila Prabhupada forbad selling records in the streets and such illegal businesses, Srila Prabhupada said we have only one business book distribution .So as a Brahmacari had to go to India and spend two years one traveling on Padayatra in 1985 and in 1986 in Vrindavana ,which was a blessing as I met Srila Gurudeva. I heard a podcast where it was mentioned Srila Narayana Maharaja was banned from entering ISKCON LA ,,such offensive nonsense. They ban a an uttama Adhikari like our Gurudeva,, when I served in ISKCON LA in 1990 ,it was discovered by a Brahmacari that some grhasthas where buying condoms and he was banned for life ,, his name was Prabhupada Acarya Prabhu ,, see how Srila Prabhupada used this devotee to expose this nonsense. This is the mentality that takes place ,so why be suprised Srila Gurudeva was banned? He later met with Hrdayananda Maharaja and Dravida Prabhu and Bhagavan Prabhu for ISKCON Zonal Acarya and there was respectful discussion.But later Hrdayananda Maharaja told me in 2000 in New Vrindavana ,how angry he was because some of his disciples had left him to take Siksa from Srila Narayana Maharaja .He accused Srila Narayana Maharaja of reinitiating devotees giving them new names,, I said never, only if someone is fallen .Later Hrdayanana Maharaja established Krsna West where you do not need have tilaka and neck beads and he claim Tulsi gives devotees rashes and wearing Western cloth is considered better,, we used to call is Karmi cloth ,,now it has become Western clothing .Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja tried to teach the GBC Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupadas teachings about the Origin of the fall of the Jiva,, and Srila Prabhupada himself writes in Bhagavatam that Not a leave falls from Viakuntha,, so the Jiva issue became a big thing in ISKCON ,, because Srila Prabhupada once said we originally came from Goloka Vrindavana ,, yes Krsna manifests everything ,, but the Nitya Baddhas emanate from Krsnas Tatastha Sakti,, if we accept Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura he writes in Jaiva Dharma chapter 15 very clearly about this .But who will listen? Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has also written all grhasthas should daily chant minimum 64 rounds, what to speak of those who are renounced, they should chant even more .

At the end of HH Gaura Govinda Maharajas lilas ,there is a lecture where he says he never wanted to be a GBC man but was requested again and again ,so he had accepted this position , he stated that clearly most of his godbrothers where absolute neophytes and could not understand the Jiva Tattava. few days later he left his body in Sridhama Mayapure while fully absorbed in Sattvika Bhava ,,he entered trance and left his spiritualized body behind .I never met anyone in ISKCON as advanced as Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja ,,I had read the Sandarbhas except Priti Sandarbha translated by Kusakratha Prabhu ,, only Gaura Govinda Maharaja of all Gurus in ISKCON knew the Sandarbhas,, he offered me to come ot Bhuvanesvara to learn Priti Sandarbha under his guidance,, I was such a fool I did not go,, I thought I have to distribute Srila Prahbupadas books and help Srila Prahbupada save the conditioned souls,, but by then Srila Prabhupadas books had been changed,, another big offense to Srila Prahbupada, Srila Narayana Maharaja met Jayadvaita Swami but did not discuss this with him ,though Srila Gurudeva had clearly stated ,this should not have been done.Srila Prabhupada himself was furious and he there is a famous conversation called the Rascal editors ,Srila Prahbupada clearly stated that the editors where changing his books they should only be printed as he had presented his books, like Bhagavad Gita As it is, has so many changes to it ,, over 5000 changes to Srila Prahbupadas books ,, I have seen in Srila Gurudevas room in Mathura he had a set of all Srila Prabhupadas original books ,,Srila Gurudeva would have devotees read from Srila Prahbupadas original books,, so many offenses have been made to Srila Prahbupada, Srila Narayana Maharaja and Gaura Govinda Maharaja. In 1995 I had a big discussion with some ISKCON leaders like Anuttama das, Mukunda Maharaja , Arcita, Sasthivara das, and Sesa Prabhu ,, they all agreed that renting the culture hall to demigod worshippers, Mayavadis and Rama Krsna mission was good investment.. but the problems is these functions where attended by guest visiting the temple and some thought oh ISKCON agrees with the Mayavadis speaking ,, for example on time Rama Krsna mission where speaking and said there is no need for Deities of Krsna, you might as well worship a mountain ..but the temple board decided, I should leave the temple as I was opposed to their nonsense ,I was at the time number 1 or 2 in ISKCON US in book distribution, but they were envious.

I complained to the GBC about these offenses, and the International GBC agreed and in 1996 banned these activities in ISKCON ,there is a GBC resolution from that time. It is just to show you the offenses that has been made and still are being made changing Srila Prabhupadas standards and books . I had a dream Srila Prahbupada asked me to stay in ISKCON to help him bring back the proper standards ..I am just a tiny servant of Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva,, I think you will understand the magnitude from the deviations in IKSCON.

Our Godbrother Prema Prayojana Prabhu was formerly also my Godbrother in ISKCON under Harikesa now Ex Swami ,, he wanted to take shelter of Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja ,, Harikesa was furious with him ,, that time I also told Prema Prayojana Prabhu and our now Bhaktivedanta Asrama Maharaja about Srila Gurudevas glories,, I said it is right you take shelter of Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja but know there is also Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja ,, after Gaura Govinda Maharaja entered Nitya Lila ,they very fast obtained the shelter of Srila Gurudeva ,, now they preach gloriously all over the world ,,we should know truth from falsehood ,thus I tried to explain some issues. One should never offend the Pure devotees like Srila Gurudeva and Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja
