The Acharya-Sampradaya methodology (Follow-Up 1)

16. July 2025 By 1 Comment

In Shrimad Bhagavatam 10.2.31 Srila Prabhupada wrote clearly about the Acharya-Sampradaya Methodology specifically for devotees who come in the future when Srila Prabhupada is no longer physically with us.

The two presences of the Diksha Guru and Shiksha Guru.

“This is the last word in prayer. Some people complain that when they pray to God, they do not feel His presence. We should know that this is due to our incapacities, not God’s.
There are two conceptions of presence—the physical conception and the vibrational conception. The physical conception is temporary, whereas the vibrational conception is eternal. When we enjoy or relish the vibration of Kṛṣṇa’s teachings in Bhagavad-gītā, or when we chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, we should know that by those vibrations He is immediately present. [Read More…]

Myth: “Tamal Krishna was the real author of July 9th directive and we should follow his explanation”

Anti Ritvik Myths debunked (#4)

 

Myth: Tamal Krishna Goswami authored July 9, 1977 directive, and Srila Prabhupada just signed it; so TKG’s explanation of the directive, which he gave later, should be followed


Truth: This directive was based on Srila Prabhupada’s instructions and written on his order and then approved by him, whereas TKG’s contradictory explanations given after he masterminded the coup and became a bogus acarya are certainly false and shouldn’t be followed

 

Amazingly, maya-ISKCON tries to downplay Srila Prabhupada’s role in July 9th, 1977 directive and overall in ritvik initiation system finalized in 1977, up to the point His Divine Grace supposedly wasn’t the one who really made this arrangement! They try to sell a very strange idea: [Read More…]

My Experience with the guru impersonator Prahladananda Swami

Prahladananda Swami guru impersonator

My Experience with the guru impersonator Prahladananda Swami

For me the straw that broke the camel’s back concerning Isk’Con was over 30 years ago. I was serving than in the Melbourne Temple. We had a few day visit from Prahladananda Swami who is also a guru impersonator and the head of the sanyas ministry in ISKCON.

I believe at that time I was the only Prabhupad disciple in the Melbourne temple. One day someone came to me and said Prahladananda Swami wants to see you in his room. I had no idea what it was all about because I don’t know the guy from a bar of soap, so I was very curious what this might be all about and once it was revealed I was totally shocked.

The purpose for summoning me and questioning me was, whether or not I could confirm, as a godbrother, that he was an uttama adhikari. He presented me with a whole shopping list of qualifications of an uttama adhikari based on shastra. He quoted specific qualities which he thought he had already acquired . He identified with a particular quality of an uttama adhikari and then ticked that one off the list. Then another quality, tick, then another specific behaviour, tick, and so he went through his whole shopping list. “There you see, I have all those qualities, therefore, according to shastra, I must be an uttama adhikari, don’t you agree? He was like a little kid who exclaimed: “See, I made it, I am now Neo in the Matrix”.

So I understood from this point on that, what he was doing, was going from temple to temple, summoning his godbrothers or godsisters and doing his little approval scheme to get unofficially rubber-stamped as an uttama adhikari so he could feel himself to be at the top of the food chain. My guess is that most unwitting participants would agree with him because they’re just as delusional as him or at the least too intimidated to protest.
