Srila Prabhupada made Gurukripa the GBC of Vrindavan even though Tamal and some others were complaining about his money making scams overseas. Srila Prabhupada knew Gurukripa was using some very risky fundraising practices but never removed him as GBC of Vrindavan which was part of his last will and testament which could have easily have been changed before his passing. Gurukripa raised a good portion of the money for Mayapura and Vrindavan temples. I don't think we should make a big deal out of it. Nothing Gurukripa did is still an issue with ISKCON as are the many schemes and scams still being perpetrated by the GBC. ISKCON is back in Japan. http://iskconjapan.com/ Think of all the sukriti the Japanese people got from having their money go towards building Mayapur and Vrindavan. Gurukripa tricked Japan into some very great sukriti and Japan owes Gurukripa for all that mercy they got.

Do you think anyone is going to respect your views if you come in the forum talking down to other members like that? You are talking down to Kulapavana as if he is a blithering idiot. Is that the best way to really demonstrate how humble and spiritually advanced you are? Your ego seems to be as big as the great outdoors. How do you expect anyone to respect your views when you come off so arrogant and full of yourself?

In this purport Srila Prabhupada gives a figure of the size of the universe that is much larger than the 4 billion square miles mentioned in the 5th canto. In the 5th canto it says the universe is 2 billion square miles x 2 or 4 billion square miles, but in this purport he says the universe is 2 billion TIMES 2 billion square miles which is a number bigger than I can calculate. It also describes the Moon that is further from Earth than the Sun as a moon that is in the topmost strata of the universe which therefore cannot be the moon of the Earth. My guess is that this figure of the size of the universe as 2 billion X 2 billion is more likely the correct figure than the 2 billion X 2 figure we hear of. SB 2.5. 40-41:

Humans share 90% of the same genes with Rats who are evolving 4 times faster than humans. Maybe the scientists can figure out a way to make humans more like Rats so that human evolution can be hurried along?

Well, I have lived under military law where I was told where I lived and what work I did. Martial law is child's play compared to military law.

Yeah, it's is a damn shame that intelligent men like yourself could not have been running ISKCON instead of the scum that floated to the surface. Why did Prabhupada allow these bums to plunder ISKCON? I have a theory that Srila Prabhupada actually wanted ISKCON to fragment upon his departure and so he allowed these ambitious fools to get control. I have no doubt Srila Prabhupada wanted to break-up ISKCON upon his demise. His having Narayana Maharaja perform his funeral guaranteed that.

the ONE in the picture is surrounded by scoundrels? That can't be good.

Didn't your Guru support the idea of a one world government? Hey, if the Masons (New World Order) can take over the world then I am 100% behind it. Or, should the cult monsters in ISKCON control the world? I am thinking about converting to become a Mason. They are a lot more broad-minded than Hare Krishna cult fanatics.

Just be careful "prabhu". If you fall off your high horse you are liable to break your neck. I have a really cool 22 year old son and a very cool and nice 15 year old daughter to keep me company. My oldest daughter lives with her boyfriend. I am as content as a bug in a rug. I have been a loner all my life. I am not going to change just because you think I need some male bonding. You really come off like a hot head with an agenda. You need to chill out and feel the love bro......

Isn't that something? KB has a double hernia, degenerative disks in his neck, lives in poverty, raised three kids by himself for 13 years and doesn't let it get to him and is still happier than you. You are obviously a very miserable and lonely person. Your writings on this forum are testament to that. I don't keep friends. I have been a loner about all my life. I don't need a night out with the guys. If I need a night out it is with the girls. But, I have had my play and had my day and now at age 55 I am ready to settle down and make some spiritual advancement. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve. I keep my beliefs to myself. I don't "preach". I have no urge to preach what I believe to other people. There are plenty of Hare Krishna fanatics like you around to cram their beliefs down the throat of others.

I don't think he is any mouse. He is a great Vaishnava. I don't agree with him on some things, but I still consider him as way superior a person than i.

Bottom line for me is I just don't really give a hoot anymore what these ISKCON gurus do, or what the GBC does. I have written off the whole lot and threw in the towel on trying fight back. Who cares? It's about money, don't you understand? If Hridayananda Maharaja caters to the gays then that will pay off for him because actually gay people are usually quite educated and successful professional people who will donate to their guru Hridayananda Maharaja and support his typical jet-set lifestyle like all the rest of the ISKCON gurus. Why beat on a horse once the horse is dead? It just doesn't make any sense. Let the children play.

Well, I agree that anyone having homosex or any kind of illicit sex cannot really make any spiritual advancement. But, can they learn things about spiritual knowledge and and chant Hare Krishna to maybe get them to the point to where they can someday make spiritual advancement. If they are just shunned and driven away, then what chance is there that they can someday get beyond their sinful desires and attain to the mode of goodness? If devotees aren't merciful to sinful people then how will they ever become pure?

CB, just don't confuse this person with KB you old friend from Badger because they are not the same person. KB has been working six days a week for the last year and he doesn't really spend that much time in his cabin. KB is certainly not feeling any empty feelings. He is quite the contented fellow and enjoying his simple life with this kids.

These were the original homosexual in the universe and they were created out of Lord Brahma's ass and then they came at Lord Brahma wanted homosex with him. So, homos are part of the universal play. They were created out of the body of Lord Brahma. Straight people can't fathom that homos can also be interested in spiritual life despite their nasty sexual orientation. But in the END........ is not illicit sex of any time no better than the other? I prefer women. But, hey, if some guy prefers to have sex with other men then that does not make my illicit sex with women any less sinful. Which is the lesser of the two evils? Is one really lesser than the other?

save the Whales, save the trees save the land and seas save the kids and save the dogs save the cats and hogs save the cans and save the glass save the teachers class but don't foget when you save them whole you must first of all save your soul (by me)

I don't think it is that simple Suchandra. I think homosexual were like women in their last lives and they died thinking about the man they loved and so they took birth as a man. They prefer to be women, but they died thinking about their male lover and so became a very confused living entity. The mind of the woman carried over into the next life with the body of a man. There are some homos that are just nasty sickos, but many gays are just very confused people stuck in a body they really don't want. I don't think we should be so hard on gay people. There are deep psychological undercurrents in the minds of gays that straight people who are comfortable in their skin just can't relate to. Gays should be encouraged to cultivate Krsna consciousness. Everybody, no matter what kind of crazy situation they find themselves in should be encouraged to cultivate Krsna consciousness. I personally don't find anything wrong with what Hridayananda Maharaja is doing with gay people. We all have more important things to do than bashing gay people.

Begger is not me. I am not him. But, we do know each other from many moons ago. I would even venture to say we are friends, though we do tease each other on this forum.

Humor aside...... the Holy Name has finally proved to me to be the ONLY pleasure in this miserable world. I can't explain it, but in the last few months the Holy Name has given me a new lease on life. It's almost like a drug.......addictive, feels real good and makes you want more, more......more. It's a wonderful thing. I can't explain it, but chanting Hare Krishna is so much pleasure and sweetness that I don't have to run on faith alone anymore. I feel the juice and the pleasure. Why me? I am just a fallen soul. It's hard to imagine that everyone doesn't experience the bliss and the sweetness of the Holy Name. You can even taste it on your tongue. It is nothing short of incredible. Chant Hare Krishna.

Judging by the depth of your writings and realizations, there is definitely something happening. Maybe you aren't fallen enough? Remember.......Patita Pavana....... Gaurahari? When you finally hit bottom, there is no where to go but up. Just ask me...... I 'll tell ya'....
