I don't depend on dreams.

[Guest guest]

My Dear Mataji

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

I appreciate very much your sincere well-wishes.

You are convinced that you are right and I am wrong.

I am convinced that I am right and you are wrong.

 

You are depending on dreams which may or may not be

authoritative. I am depending on direct personal instructions

I received from Srila Prabhupada when he was on the planet.

 

You consider your dreams as being more authoritative than

the direct personal instructions I received.

 

I don't depend on dreams. Here's what Srila Prabhupada said

about dreams:

 

A person knows what a mountain is, and he knows also what gold

is. Out of his desire only, he dreams of a golden mountain, and

when the dream is over he sees something else in his presence.

He finds in his awakened state that there is neither gold nor a

mountain, and what to speak of a golden mountain.

>>> from the purport to SB 2.9.2

 

Because you are desiring to push forward this ritvik idea your

mind is concocting that Prabhupada is reconfirming the ritvik

philosophy.

 

It's very nice that Srila Prabhupada is instructing you to preach

on his behalf. This part of your dream is bona fide. But the

part about ritvik is simply your mental concoction like the

example Srila Prabhupada gives about the gold mountain.

 

Hoping this meets you in good health and in a cheerful mood,

Your eternal well-wisher,

 

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

I am no longer going against Srila Prabhupada - you are!!!

 

Dear Sankarsan prahbu,

Pamho. AGTSP.

 

You persist in stating that you are accepting disciples "for the sake of

expanding Srila Prabhupada's movement and not out of any desire for

followers". This reply was also given to me by my socalled second diksa

guru, HH BCS.

 

Yet, I have to strongly disagree with you, with him, all the current

"gurus", the GBC and all the apologists of this socalled continued 'regular

parampara system' pursued in Iskcon.

 

When I came in contact with Iskcon and with Srila Prabhupada's disciples and

books, I was attracted by the purity of the devotees and the excellence of

Srila Prahbupada's writings. I recognised him as my eternal spiritual

master.

 

When I came to the Temple however, in 1978, after Srila Prabhupada leaving

his body I was told that now Srila Prabhupada had been succeeded by 11 of

his 'elevated, mahabhagavata' disciples and my only chance of being linked

with Srila Prabhupada was by takin initiation from the Acharya of the Zone,

I happened to live in, Bhagavan das gosvami.

 

Although I had my doubt regarding how in such a short time people could

become pure devotees and in spite of the great opposition from my parents,

the hindu community in Holland - the whole body of Priests - from the

Sanatan Dharm Sabha, I was still convinced that it was possible......that

Srila Prabhupada could have created pure devotees, because of his own

purity........ Yet, I was very hesitant to join, but got a dream, in which

Srila Prabhupada personally promised me to take care of me, that I should

not be afraid.....So, I stood up against my family, against the Hindu

Priests and fought for the justification of the Zonal Acharya System.

 

At that time no explanation was given regarding how these people were

authorised to become "Gurus" and I was too green to understand such matters

in detail.

 

Yet, soon after, the socalled "Mahabhagavata's" started to fall. One, two,

three accidental falls is possible and can be excused, but not when it

becomes an ongoing thing...........you start to doubt!!!

 

But capsuled in the 'brainwashing practise' of ISKCON, I could not really

perceive what was wrong in ISKCON - that something was drastically wrong, I

had already understood.

 

Seeing the documents/transcrips of conversations etcetera explaining how

Srila Prabhupada had only appointed Ritviks, who thought they were appointed

to act as GURU in his physical absence, I began to understand the great Guru

Hoax, that has taken place in 1977 and which has been tried to cover up in

1986 in the name of 'large scale reform of the movement".

 

It is a hype from beginning to end and I feel truly embarrassed with the

whole thing and cheated.

 

In the meantime, Srila Prabhupada never stopped giving me direct

instructions through dreams. One thing he told me is "No matter how advanced

you think you have become in KC, always go back to the basics." And last

night Srila Prabhupada appeared in my dream and confirmed to me that he did

establish the Ritvik system and wanted it continued in ISKCON - urging me to

continue preaching on his behalf.

 

So, as you can see, I do not have to wait till going back to Godhead in

order to ask Srila Prabhupada the question you suggested me to ask him when

I get there, as Srila Prabhupada is here and personally guiding me. And he

confirmed that I am not going against his instructions, rather I fought

myself out of the trap of misguidance - set up by the Guru hoaxers and am

situated very happily in the shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

 

So, you may be thinking that you are going to Godhead, but since you are not

acting in accordance with Srila Prabhupada's order, it may take you many

many life times..........even though Srila Prabhupada said to you that you

were sincere! He said such to the today fallen "mahabhagavata's too".

 

Again there is only ONE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, and there is ONLY ONE FINAL ORDER

REGARDING CONTINUING DIKSA IN ISKCON.

 

I wished I was wrong and by simply admitting my wrong, could take up your

path, adhere to your part. But with heart and soul I am convinced that I am

on ther right track and since it has been confirmed by Srila Prabhupada

personally in my dream last night, I have no doubt whatsoever.......instead

I am fearless to fight on behalf of Srila Prabhupada.

 

Still wishing you all the best,

 

yours in Srila Prabhupada's service,

Krishnapriya devi dasi

Your accussations are false, I am only accepting disciples for the sake of

exapnding Srila Prabhpuada's movement not out of any desire for followers.

If you don't believe me all I can see is that you should ask Srila

Prabhupada when you go back to Godhead. Srila Prabhupada said that I am a

sincere devotee.

You say that I am not. Therefore you are going against the words of Srila

Prabhuapda.

Hare Krsna,

 

It's is always too bad when one's sincerity is doubted. We are all human, so

I am sure that it is natural for every kind of thought and idea to go

through our minds, including other people's motivation. However, even though

he

 

does not recall our association, I knew Sankarsana das in the early 1970's

in Gainesville, and he is one of the most sincere and dedicated Krsna

devotees that I have ever encountered. There should be no doubt that he is

qualified to initiate new devotees. He is the only devotee I ever knew who

would thank people for reminding him to perform some austerity in Krsna's

service, instead of saying 'mind your own business', which is what I would

say. Even when I would come to the temple at 2am or 4am, depressed and

stoned he always made some effort to be compassionate and at the same time

engage me in some KC activity.

 

Jaya Prabhupada,

Joey
