We need more as good-as-God gurus
As we see below, the GBC via their Resolutions continue to provide yet more evidence of their constantly shifting positions, inevitably contradicting themselves in the process. By now it should be clear to most rational people that we should be following Srila Prabhupada alone as the only diksa (initiating) guru in ISKCON, and not the GBC s whacky world of voted-in gurus!
“Whereas there is a factual need for more diksa-gurus in ISKCON to accommodate the worldwide preaching […]”
(GBC Resolution 305, 2009)
…but they may be deviants!
“Discipline of Devotees Approved to act as Initiating Gurus
Reasons For Discipline […] Misconduct, such as physical assault, except in self-defence, improper relationships with the opposite sex, improper sexual behavior, abusive behavior to devotees, improper dealings with external society, etc […] Misuse of Funds. […] Failure to follow any of the four regulative principles or to regularly chant sixteen rounds of japa.”
(GBC Resolution 315, 2009)
We follow tradition
“On the strength of our Vaisnava tradition and the statements of Srila Prabhupada, the GBC concludes that Srila Prabhupada intended his disciples to become “regular Gurus” after he physically departed.”
(GBC Resolution 409, 2004)
…by being unprecedented!
“Whereas ISKCON is an unprecedented worldwide Gaudiya Vaisnava mission which aims to incorporate many individual diksa and siksa gurus and their disciples.”
(GBC Resolution 316, 2009)
We want to focus on Srila Prabhupada
“Whereas the Srila Prabhupada’s Position committee wishes to focus our ISKCON laws more solidly on Srila Prabhupada’s position”
(GBC Resolution 316, 2009)
…by having our feet bathed in public!
“In order to focus more fully on Srila Prabhupada and every devotee’s special relationship with him, an ISKCON siksa or diksa guru may accept public guru-puja (arati and/or foot bathing) in person once a year on ISKCON property on his or her Vyasapuja.”
(GBC Resolution 316, 2009)
pamho prabhus agtACBSP,
the main point of Krishna consciousness is that at the end things go according to SRI KRISHNA’s desire because HIS energies are working according to HIS will which alone is enough to make many godly gurus. To cheat innocent devotees in fiskcon should be stopped.
Give back everything to SRILA PRABHUPADA. There is no shame in this most sinful age, people want to show their degraded qualities. They should run to hide themselves as a lot of them are already doing instead of pretending they are liberated gurus when in fact they are still trapped in the bodily concept of life.
Upadhi, false designation causes anger and that is the proof that they are not doing the will of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA, their disciples got even more anger.
Because everything is perfect – SRILA PRABHUPADA says. The point that they are not perfect is because of material attachment. They won’t let Iskcon BBT founder acharya HDG ACBSP to be in the center of HIS transcendental movement which is not different in quality from Golokera prema-dhana, hari-nama-sankirtana. Suddha-nama, pure name, for sincere followers of SRILA PRABHUPADA.
We know our daily sadhana bhakti can be successful by practicing it all life long without caring for the barking of fiskcon because SP is our only godly guru.
