Bhakti Charu implicated in Srila Prabhupadas poisoning

Bhakticharu Swami is a prime suspect in Srila Prabhupada’s poisoning: he was there when it happened, and he is contradicting his own recorded statements from 1977. That constitutes lying. Why is he lying? Thus he brings great suspicion upon himself. Bhakticharu has implicated himself in the poisoning by his dishonest, tricky statements. Any intelligent person can see he has something to hide.
Why was it in 1977 that he took seriously Srila Prabhupada’s talking of being poisoned, but did nothing about it, and now, decades later, he pretends that in 1977 he did not take Srila Prabhupada seriously? And in 2001 say it was alarming to think the food he was giving Srila Prabhupada was poisoned? Too many contradictions… Flip-flopping stories. Any crime investigator would zero in on Bhakticharu as top priority for intense interrogations.

CHAPTER 73:
BHAKTICHARU SWAMI

INTRODUCTION

“One day an unusual, young Bengali man came to Mayapur. Named Kishore Bhattacharya, he was a Vaishnava from birth and obviously intelligent. He spoke impeccable English and was also fluent in German because he was a [chemistry] student in a German university. With simply a little coaxing, he surrendered to Srila Prabhupada and quickly got initiated, receiving the name Ksira-cora-gopinatha dasa. On several occasions he kindly translated conversations between Pisima and me. Months later, Srila Prabhupada awarded this cultured young man sannyasa, changing his name to Bhakticharu Swami.” (Mahamaya dasi, Prabhupada Is Coming!)

BHAKTICHARU WAS VERY CLOSE TO TAMAL AND BHAVANANDA

From the time he joined ISKCON in early 1977, Bhakticharu was closely associated with Tamal and Bhavananda, who were both major influences on him. His first years in ISKCON were under the direct tutelage of both Tamal and Bhavananda. He took over Bhavananda’s room in the Lotus Building after Bhavananda left in 1987. He would sometimes visit with Tamal in Dallas. During Srila Prabhupada’s last nine months, Tamal was Srila Prabhupada’s personal secretary, and Bhakticharu was Tamal’s assistant for the last eight months, always present by bringing meals, drinks, medicines, and so on. Bhakticharu translated the Bengali and Hindi conversations of the day for Tamal, and acted as a nurse, caretaker, servant.

So, knowing the nature of Tamal and Bhavananda, we would begin to wonder why would Bhakticharu maintain lifelong friendship these kinds of people? Birds of a feather flock together…

Bhakticharu Swami was trained and nurtured by Tamal as a little brother, as a protégé, as a confidant and assistant. There is no doubt Tamal had Bhakticharu, a fresh new recruit, completely in his control and had an overwhelming influence on him. From Bhakticharu’s 2016 book Ocean Of Mercy, pgs. 89, 101, 126, and 153:

“One morning I saw a bright-looking personality walking with Bhavananda Maharaja. There was something striking about this devotee; I just could not keep my eyes off him. Tirthapada, who was standing next to me, said that it was Tamal Krsna Goswami. ‘He is one of the most prominent leaders of our movement.’ I had heard about Tamal Krsna Maharaja; he was a hero of ISKCON. He had joined in San Francisco when the movement was in its infancy and almost right away assumed a leadership role. Since then, Srila Prabhupada had called on him to lead his most important projects… Just the sight of Tamal Krsna Maharaja filled me with awe and reverence. I offered my obeisances from a distance. In the afternoon, when I was with Srila Prabhupada in his room, Maharaja walked in, and Prabhupada’s face lit up with a bright smile. Right away, they began to talk intimately.”

ISK’CON IS AN APA-SAMPRADAYA

Another fine mess you made!

ISK’CON IS AN APA-SAMPRADAYA

Letter from Bhuta Bhavana das to Divya Prabandha

Bhuta Bhavana das sent the following response to Divya Prabandha, which, of course, will not change anything, because we are talking about the Gestapo here, and Gestapo is not rational. But it sheds a light on the whole situation:

========================

Response by Bhuta Bhavana das

My prabhu, you were suspended twice and now that you finally became an officer you are suspending others. It is interesting how this represents the pinnacle of your hypocrisy: you first kick out people from the movement and then you ask them: “What are they doing with their spiritual life”. Same stupid question that you are asking me now, I was asked by Suvarna Bindu two months ago: “Who is that bearded guy (Kailash Chandra) and what is his practice?”

That bearded guy was secretary in the GBC in the eighties (he is Srila Prabhupada’s twice initiated disciple) who had manuscripts of black and dirty conversations of eleven self-proclaimed mahabhagavatas with Gaudiya Math who pushed out a big lie less than 10 years after Srila Prabhupada left this world.

After that, he was the editor of Sulocana’s book, and the first one who wrote a paper against the Rtviks, and then one Swami from ISKCON, Tripurari, asked him if they could take his version and integrate it into their own ISKCON version of the story against rtviks. Actually, they made another concoction. Your knowledge of history is not proper.

Back to the subject: you are pushing a method which is not actually Srila Prabhupada’s method and we have all the evidence which give exactly opposite examples, in the conversations and letters, where some temple presidents GBC men asked Prabhupada if the can throw somebody out of the temple, but Prabhupada didn’t allow it. What to speak of throwing somebody out of the institution. Do I need to send you quotes?

And after Srila Prabhupada left, when the time came to say one plus one equals two in the form of bitter truths: then thousands of devotees similar to Kailasa Candra were kicked from the movement and the good part of which went to Maya.

And the rest of them who stayed silent and bought the dogma automatically became degraded, stepped down from madhyama adhikari level and became bogus sahajiyas.

Such silence doesn’t have anything to do with satyam. And horizontal spread of the international movement, by looking at the external aspects through quantity is not a proof of sincere Krishna consciousness. For example, FDG issue is just a distraction from what is a true problem.

After Srila Prabhupada left the world, as soon as his disciples introduced the Zonal acarya imposition, this turned out the ventilator from the power outlet (in this case it disconnected the movement from the parampara), and it seems that propeller is still running (due to accumulated spiritual potency which was brought in by Prabhupada throughout all these years).

But, propeller is now almost stopped. ISKCON in an apa-sampradaya. [Read More…]

Million Year Old Deity of Lord Varaha in Mathura Holds a Flat-earth

Million Year Old Deity of Lord Varaha
in Mathura Holds a Flat-earth

BY: MAYESVARA DASA

Jun 13, 2020 — IRELAND (SUN) —

I would like to thank Madhavananda Prabhu for bringing to our attention the panel of Lord Varaha holding the flat-Earth at the Radha Madhava Temple, in Radhanagar (Bangladesh).

Most ancient deities and sculptures of Lord Varaha depict the Earth in her personified form as Goddess Bhumi; it is therefore a pleasant surprise to see the Earth depicted as a landscape, since it informs us of how our predecessors understood the shape of the Earth.

I would like to also thank Gopagana dasa for originally pointing out the flat-Earth on the tusks of Sri Adi-Varaha at Mathura (see image 1 below); and again to Bhakta Dirk who recently reminded me that the Deity is holding a flat-Earth. From what I can perceive from the photo below, it indeed appears that the Earth has a flat-base, and is certainly not globe-shaped. The little figure near the Earth appears to be part of a background panel of figures as shown more clearly in image 2.

Cow Killers And Their Karma

1. July 2020 By Prabhupada News 2 Comments

Srila Prabhupada: “In this age of Kali the propensity for mercy is almost nil. Consequently there is always fighting and wars between men and nations. Men do not understand that because they unrestrictedly kill so many animals, they also must be slaughtered like animals in big wars. This is very much evident in the Western countries. In the West, slaughterhouses are maintained without restriction, and therefore every fifth or tenth year there is a big war in which countless people are slaughtered even more cruelly than the animals. Sometimes during war, soldiers keep their enemies in concentration camps and kill them in very cruel ways. These are reactions brought about by unrestricted animal-killing in the slaughterhouse and by hunters in the forest. Proud, demoniac persons do not know the laws of nature, or the laws of God. Consequently, they unrestrictedly kill poor animals, not caring for them at all. In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, animal-killing is completely prohibited.”

Srila Prabhupāda: You are killing innocent cows and animals. Nature will take revenge. Just wait and see. As soon as the time is ripe, the nature will gather all these rascals, and club, slaughter them. Finished. They will fight amongst themselves, Protestant and Catholic, Russian and France, and France and Germany. This is going on. Why? This is the nature’s law. Tit for tat. You have killed. Now you become killed. Amongst yourselves. They are being sent to the slaughterhouse. And here, you’ll create slaughterhouse, “Dum! dum!” and killed, be killed. Therefore in Europe, so many wars. Every ten years, fifteen years, there is a big war and wholesale slaughter of the whole human kind. And these rascals, they do not see it. The reaction must be there. They are sending animals to the slaughterhouse, and now they’ll create their own slaughterhouse.

People do not know how nature is working. If you kill, you must be killed. If you kill the cow, who is your mother, then in some future lifetime your mother will kill you. Yes. The mother becomes the child, and the child becomes the mother. You’ll make a slaughterhouse at home. You’ll kill your own child—abortion. This is nature’s law. Who are these children being killed? They are these meat-eaters. They enjoyed themselves when so many animals were killed, and now they’re being killed by their mothers. Tit for tat. ‘You have killed. Now you kill yourselves.’ [Read More…]
