Apr 3, 2011, USA — Jaya Prabhus, Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my fallen obeisances. I’m temple president XYZ and I’ve made my pledge to the GBC, its them who gave me the presidency, so I want you all to read this and hear my plea:
I pledge my allegiance to the GBC
Despite their lack of purity
I see them as the powers that be
Because it is them who are paying me
All glories all glories to the GBC
So what if I’ve lost my integrity
To hell with Srila Prabhupada, it’s them who pay me
Thus I see them as most high and mighty
After all, Srila Prabhupada is dead
If need be, for my purposes, I’ll step on His head
I’ll throw away my bhakti after all that is said
What I really care about is my butter and bread
Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON movement, it had its great day
Filled with Srila Prabhupada’s white brightness, I’ve helped to make it grey
I’ve pushed out many sincere devotees into Maya Devi’s fray
I couldn’t care less about their dismay
All glories all glories to the GBC
A body filled with infidelity
To you who are filled with impudicity
I fully pledge myself to thee
Regarding Srila Prabhupada’s books, Jayadvaita’s editions are right
I ban the pre-1978 originals from my temple: I consider them a blight
If any devotee questions me, I will use my GBC endowed might
Considering Srila Prabhupada’s unchanged books anathema, I keep them out of everyone’s sight
(When I find a pre-1978 book, I confiscate and burn it at night)
My dear GBC, now agents of Kali
You’ve lost so much of your sanctity
You’ve ruined Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON, and are lying to me
Yet still I pledge myself to thee
Srila Prabhupada said *** “Don’t change the worship of the Deity”
He gave explicit instructions how to offer the aroti
Although the order was changed by the GBC
I don’t care because they pay my salary
I submit myself to the GBC
A body devoid of humility
They’ve given up their austerity,
intelligence, kindness, bhakti and simplicity
I don’t care about the devotees. They’re just a bunch of sheeple
My concern is to get money from all the rich people
After all, money is the honey
What do I care if my consciousness is funny? (off)
I pledge my allegiance to the GBC
So many of you filled with duplicity
I follow you wholeheartedly
I’ve given up my honesty
I don’t give a damn what the good devotees say
Let them go to their computers and type all day
Their time spent in internet discussions will keep them far away (at bay)
While I get my glory and GBC pay
I pledge myself to the GBC
With all their corruption and insanity
I know I’m part of the problems that be
I’ve sold away my liberty
I pledge allegiance to the GBC
I will follow you implicitly
I give you my soul to the topmost degree
You’ve killed Srila Prabhupada, and now you’re killing me
May we be safely situated under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s Lotus Feet, Those of our Guru Varga, the Vaisnavas, and Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.
Your servant,
B. Radha-Govinda
Hare Krsna
***From Srila Prabhupada’s Jan 4, 1973 letter to Dhruvanananda Prabhu:
“You are asking me so many concoctions and manufactured nonsense. Don’t bother my head in this way any more. From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. You manufacture ideas and then I have to waste my time. I have given you everything already, there is no need for you to add anything or change anything. Why you are asking these things? Who has given you such freedom?…The greatest danger to our movement will come when we manufacture and create our own process for worshiping the deities.”
