Communist Dictator?

[Guest guest]

I have been referred to as 'Chairman Mao' by Sthita-dhi-Muni dasa. I believe

Mao Tse Tung was an atheistic communist dictator who perpetrated human rights

crimes and abuses to many of his countrymen.

 

I do not know how or why I deserve such comparison. I am not atheistic. Nor

have I been a party, directly or as an accomplice, to any such human

indignities. I have witnessed and read of similar human indignities which

occured under the direct supervision of ISKCON leaders in the recent and

distant past, however. I have voiced my abhorence to such criminally negligent

so-called "leaders" directly, face-to-face, and in my correspondences. If

these so-called leaders who are responsible for the crimes against the

devotees of the Lord are allowed to continue without recourse what future can

there be?

 

All of the leaders of ISKCON were NOT a party to the crimes committed and I do

not hold any grudge against them; they are devotees, mahatmas. I have always

maintained this. While I think most of them are not qualified to manage nor

have they undergone any leadership or management training, this does not mean

they are not devotees of the Lord and cannot be engaged in appropriate

occupations according to their guna and karma.

This would be a positive and welcome change for them and those who have

suffered from their mismanagement. They would likely make excellent brahmanas,

vaisyas or sudras; whichever they are suited for. All positions are excellent

engagements when dedicated to the Lord.

 

 

Sthita-dhi-Muni dasa alleges that I am somehow guilty of conspiring with "my

followers" to promote a communistic dictatorship. I have never promoted any

program other those promoted by Srila Prabhupada in his various varnasram

conversations and references in his books. If I promoted something different

please quote me where I said it.

 

But Sthita-dhi does not quote from scripture. EVER. He has not once provided a

scriptural reference for his "arguments" but instead, in defeat, and defiance

of Srila Prabhupada's wishes for implementation of varnasrama in ISKCON,

resorts to calling me Chairman Mao, a communist dictator.

 

I have been called worse and coming from this Sthita-dhi it has only a very

tiny effect on me. It proves his immaturity and childishness. And his

cowardice. I look forward to my visit to Alachua in coming months to meet him

face to face so we can "finish" this discussion of my being a communist

dictator, man-to-man.

 

Srila Prabhupada was not a communist dictator, Sthita-dhi, as much as you try

to veil your stubbnorn refusal to accept his program to divide the devotees

according to varna for their ultimate salvation. Your fighting the natural

system created by Krsna will prove fruitless and inauspicious to anyone you

may convince of your baseless arguments.

 

Please quote us some scripture which directs a devotee in Srila Prabhupada's,

Lord Caitanya's, and Krsna's movement to deny their natural sva-dharma, varna

nature, ignore and not concern themselves with varnasrama.

 

>From the very first day that Srila Prabhupada sat down in Tompkins Square Park

with his varnasrama sannyasi tridanda and kartalas to the last days of time

here on earth telling us that varnasrama was the ONLY thing he didn't

complete, he was preaching varnasrama in the service of the Lord.

 

Why didn't he just wear bluejeans and a sweatshirt when he came to America

instead of the varnasrama-dharma uniform of a sannyasi?

 

You say I am a "whiner" as the result of my comments on this conference. At

least my "whining" includes numerous references from my guru maharaja

supporting the exact same subjects I am "whining" about. Yet you, somehow

derive that these are the symptoms of a "communist dictator" non-devotee.

 

You have never quoted scripture once in your many "contributions" to this

conference regarding this subject and just expect us to accept it on your say

so? Sounds like the GBC when they told us the same thing about zonal acaryas.

 

 

It's not whining or complaining that I do. It is proving through reference

from guru, sadhu and sastra that the present and past 25 years of "management"

by the "leaders" of ISKCON is in direct defiance of Srila Prabhupada's orders

to start varnasrama colleges in EVERY center of HIS movement for more than 25

years.

 

As the result, there have been horrendously sinful acts perpetrated against

innocent victims for which those who are responsible for such crimes have

NEVER publically admitted or apologized for, nor have they attempted to

prosecute the perpetrators many of whom are still active in management and

other activities within ISKCON. Thus they are criminal accomplices.

 

Those leaders who are innocent of these charges must come forward and assist

publically the authorities to investigate and prosecute those who are guilty

of the charges and their accomplices.

 

 

My firm position is that ISKCON must implement varnasrama principles of social

management, dividing into varnas, etc., and AT THE SAME TIME, continue

chanting, dancing and feasting. This has ALWAYS been my position since first

learning about varnasrama from Srila Prabhupada. BOTH things must be done.

ISKCON has not provided equal time to varnasrama when Srila Prabhupada said it

was a PRIORITY.

 

 

"I am Paramatma, the Supersoul present in everyone's heart, and it is My

direct order that human society must follow the principles of varna and

asrama.

 

A system of human civilization that does not promote varna and asrama is

nothing but polished animal society.

 

The mission of human life is to go back home, back to Godhead. To fulfill this

mission, the system of varna and asrama must be followed."
