PADA, November 18, 2010: Notice, a devotee goes to Vrndavana, he loses his credit card, and he is not able to get accomodations. READ: ISKCON wants cash up front from the rank and file while their gurus collect millions of dollars and have free accomodations, and these gurus stat in four star hotels etc. Another example of how ISKCON does not care for its citizens. ys pd
=========================
Sri Tulsinath Dasa — For the last few days my atm card has not been working and ive had no money and no fixed accomodation, it has been incredibly stressful, I realised I had to take full shelter and we think we own so much but at any moment it can all be taken away, such is the sweet and then SUPER intense nature of Vrindavan, Radheeeee Vrindavan iswari!!!
this is not nice and Srila Prabhupada would not be pleased at all. all temples now (mostly all) pay “devotees” to do devotional service and all devotees who have given 30-40 years service do not receive any accomodations…$$$$$$ is the word…also older devotees who had been in temple all their life and too old to work or do much should be protected at the end of their life in the temple so they can engage in reading and chanting till leaving body…this is Prabhupada’s desire…instead the “authorities” are having them seek shelter in old age homes or state run facilities….very sad. The “authorities” who condon these things actually do not care…this is a burden to them…they are selfish to allow this and I cannot respect them as spiritual authorities. They are monopolizing devotees and temples for their own self aggrandizement just as Srila Prabhupada said would happen….Temple presidents have to get lawyers and go to the courts and throw these guys out. Then they can begin DOM with checks and balances…why can’t these men do this? We have to stop all this nonsense!!! So many devotees would support this even though we seem as minority just think of Krsna and Arjuna on battlefield. We must take action. Inaction is not the answer waiting around saying Krsna has plan….Krsna told Arjuna fight. Arjuna did not sit back to see Krsna’s plan…this is Krsna’s plan for sincere devotees to DO something.
