Please Spare Me the Vomit (06/12/13)

Dear _______Prabhu,

Here is my final statement. I have kept my eye on Iskcon for a long time and their philosophical position worsens by the year. There is not even one tattva of Gauḍīya-siddhānta that Iskcon leaders understand completely or correctly. They may have a partial understanding of a tattva, but not a complete understanding of the tattva. In most cases they have the wrong understanding of the tattva and guru-tattva heads the list.

So how many apa-siddhāntas does it take to become an apa-sampradāya? Not many! And add Vaiṣṇava-aparādha to the mix and the conclusion seems obvious to me.

These people have never even understood the most elementary Line of Śrī Rūpa. If they had, then they would not be making foolish proposals like they do.

Gauḍīya Maṭha with all its faults produced many great Vaiṣṇava personalities. Iskcon on the other hand with all their pride hasn’t produced much more than queers, womanizers, child molesters, thieves and bandits (not paṇḍitas).

Who you are calling a ‘senior godbrother’, Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja called a ‘primary student.’ Nothing has changed..well, some things have changed — they are worse off now than the were 31 years ago. In future, please spare me the vomit that people like _____ call ‘siddhānta.’
