We document below GBC-elected guru hoaxer, HH Bhakti Charu Swami (“BCS”), claiming that Srila Prabhupada’s teachings on education are a mistake. Therefore, not content with having replaced Srila Prabhupada as ISKCON’s diksa guru, the hoaxers now also wish to supersede his teachings. All emphases below have been added.
Srila Prabhupada on schools
Srila Prabhupada condemned schools as slaughterhouses:
“I have seen intelligent boys, they go to school and he is spoiled. […] Simply slaughterhouse, this so-called school is called slaughterhouse. Yes, slaughterhouse.”
(Srila Prabhupada Conversation, 9/7/73)
(Srila Prabhupada Conversation, 9/7/73)
“The modern educational system without any knowledge of Bhagavan, I may tell you frankly, not only in India, everywhere, they are practically slaughterhouse.”
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 20/11/71)
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 20/11/71)
BCS says mistake – 1
However, BCS claims that condemning such schools as “slaughterhouses” was a “mistake”:
“The outside world is the world of my. The other schools are the slaughterhouses. These were the expressions that we used. Everybody outside is a damned karmi. That was the way, that was a mistake.”
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
Srila Prabhupada on gurukula
Having condemned schools as slaughterhouses, Srila Prabhupada established an alternative “gurukula” system of education, in which material education was disregarded:
Jyotirmayi: “You were saying that the children should learn these three, geography and these things, and I wanted to know if they should also learn what they call biology, that is how the body is working, what are the bones and blood and…” […] Prabhupada: “Simply waste of time, simply waste of time. […] But this biology and this “logy,” they are useless. There is no necessity. […] You follow that, brahmacari gurukula, that I’ve already explained. That should be done. Don’t bring any new thing, imported ideas. That will not be helpful. It will be encumbrance. […] Biologists, chemists, physicists, and mathematicians there are hundreds and thousands. We are not going to waste our time that Gurukula should produce a great grammarian, a great geologist, biologist, don’t want that. There are many other educational institutions.”
(Room Conversation, 31/7/1976)
(Room Conversation, 31/7/1976)
This was done deliberately because gurukulas were only meant to produce Krsna conscious children, rather than persons qualified to get salaried jobs:
“And this material education…Of course, we are going to open the gurukula. Our aim is not how to make the students a big grammarian. No. That is not our purpose. How to make him fully Krsna conscious. That is the aim of this gurukula. In the gurukula description there is nothing, such thing as how to make the student a big grammarian or… […] There is no question of economic problem, that one has to become learned to get some service in some big school or college and get some big salary. This is not our aim. Our only aim is how to mold the life of the children to become Krsna conscious.”
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 31/3/1976)
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 31/3/1976)
BCS says mistake – 2
However, BCS states that Srila Prabhupada’s establishing such gurukulas where material education was disregarded, was a “mistake”, and therefore his disciple will be establishing schools that will not repeat this “mistake” made by Srila Prabhupada’s gurukulas:
“You see, our…Naveen Krsna (BCS disciple) is now trying to establish the schools in India. […] We are not going to disregard material education. That is the mistake we actually made in our gurukula system. In our gurukula system we completely disregarded the material side.”
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
The cover-up
Thus, in summary we can see that BCS condemns Srila Prabhupada’s essential teachings regarding education as being one big “mistake”. However, in this same lecture where he disagrees with Srila Prabhupada’s teachings, BCS claims he is communicating Srila Prabhupada’s teachings:
“the spiritual master considers that it is his responsibility to bring up, train his disciples. […] And how do we train you up? We train you up by communicating Srila Prabhupada’s teachings to you and engaging you properly in ISKCON.”
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
(BCS Lecture, 5/8/2013)
Therefore, not content with attacking Srila Prabhupada’s teachings, BCS also tries to hide his actions by blatantly lying about what he is teaching. He has to engage in such lying because otherwise he would be exposing himself as a rascal and demon for rejecting Srila Prabhupada’s teachings:
“A siksa-guru who instructs against the instruction of spiritual, he is not a siksa-guru. He is a demon. […] siksa-guru does not mean he is speaking something against the teachings of the diksa-guru. He is not a siksa-guru. He is a rascal.”
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 4/7/1974)
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, 4/7/1974)
Conclusion
We therefore have two opposing visions. A spiritual vision of education offered by Srila Prabhupada. And an opposing vision which states Srila Prabhupada’s vision is a mistake, offered by BCS. This is not an isolated example of BCS attacking Srila Prabhupada and his teachings, but is part of a wider trend. For instance, we highlight more examples of these attacks in the Sixth chapter of our book 100 Contradictions, where BCS offends Srila Prabhupada by stating that Srila Prabhupada was only able to preach once he had renounced his household life; that the mentality of Srila Prabhupada being “dead and gone” is fine; that Srila Prabhupada’s instructions were “vague”; that Srila Prabhupada was a “mere member of the GBC of ISKCON”; that Srila Prabhupada did not know the disciplic succession; and so on.
pamho agtACBSP, i can’t believe is that true? this is the reaction of worshiping the demigods instead of SRILA PRABHUPADA,saranagati don’t come so easy through dualities make film of SRILA PRABHUPADA life by translating all the SRIMAD BHAGAVATM but still the three guna do not leave hh bcs free from the clutches of maha maya,i saw a picture of him also in facebook where he were completely under anger mood.
Come on at old age also you decide to turn your back to you best well wisher this is pure mada madness and intoxication coming from danam janam and sundarim, fly high in the sky but when you fall down the pain is double and it become manifested by rejecting the own bonafide guru because he is not able to catch HIM then rejecting is the reaction. You have been trying to get HIM in the wrong way that’s why you failed to become a genuine siksa guru.
Anyway this last news is too much i can’t take this serious offence of the so called senior devotee and direct disciple of HDG ACBSP to HIS lotus feet, better to forget that hh bcs is gone mad because do not follow Krsna consciousness properly there is not other reason behind it i mean what he says is the proof and reaction of his lifestyle outside K.c he is a devavada now is not a vaisnava anymore therefore he rejected SRILA PRABHUPADA teaching out of envy also,of course many mudhas still follow this bcs who is gone mad and all of them will go straight away to the abode of dharmaraj that’s all

A Thief exposes another Thief thinks that by doing so he may come out clean in front of the public.
In fact, it is not so. Why ? Because the FACTS speak by itself. Here is what I am referring to.
The followings have been taken from KBS web site link ; http://www.krsna.org/Quotes/swamijisaid3.php
“…Once Hansaduta Swami, Bhakti Charu Swami, and I were in a room in the Mt. Kailash farm of ISKCON in California where Bhakti Charu Swami was telling Hansaduta Swami in my presence that he can enjoy material life and fulfill all material desires including sexual desires up to the maximum until he becomes fed up and then he can give it up. I resented and presented that material life and this sex is like a fungus, and that the more you scratch it, the more it increases, and I told Bhakti Charu not to talk like this. From then on, Hansaduta went berserk trying to enjoy material life and went to glide down all the way from devotion. In conclusion, it should be understood that those Indians who are in present day ISKCON are also corrupt…”
Ex Iskcon’s Swami named KBS runs his own show of guru accepting and collecting disciples independently by utilising and using Srila Prabhupada’s name, fame and status.
That is what present Iskcon Swamis / gurus and others are all about desirous for their own name, fame and status under the banner of using Srila Prabhupada.
Thus, all of them, one way or the other, are THIEVES.
Hari BOL. AGTSP.
Hare Krishna Prabhus,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Madhu Pandit’s promoting of this mundane education is no less. Madhu Pandit’s Akshaya Patra program is heavily promoting this demoniac education system against which Srila Prabhupada stood so boldly. Akshaya Patra promotes many programs like “Food for Education”, “Hungry For education”, giving scholarship to students to pursue this material education etc. etc. Madhu Pandit is discussing with Clinton about how to send every child to the “slaughterhouse” school.
Then why Madhu Pandit is considered a Prabhupadanuga/ a rtivik. Can anyone tell me what it actually means to be a Prabhupdanuga/a ritvik???
yours,
Bhakta John.
