Recently a very sincere and determined ISKCON devotee named Caitanya dasa brahmacari---who has enthusiastially and positively represented and delineated, without adulteration and personal interpretation and despite demonic intimidation, the message and teachings of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and the entire parampara in his internet blog writings, known as the Hare Krishna Diary---has come under severe, unwarranted, unprovoked and egregiously offensive attack by a few envious so-called Hare Krsna devotees who disguise themselves as such just to pass off on an unsuspecting and uninformed public and audience ideas, ideologies, philosophies (such as feminism and other mundane pursuits aimed at only improving the animal tendencies of eating, sleeping, mating and defending) contrary to true Krsna consciousness and which ISKCON founder-acarya Srila Prabhupada has publicly, in his published writings, lectures, conversations and elsewhere, taught to be spiritually fraudulent and bankrupt and dangerously misleading...in fact pathways to hell as he would explain it. These types of people--so-called devotees--are sahajiyas, mayavadis and, in general, gross materialists addicted to bodily consciousness and who consider the strict regulative principle of Krsna consciousness old-fashioned, religious fundamentalism, sexist, fanaticism, basically code-words meant to demean, belittle and de-value the true followers of Krsna consciousness. It is Vaisnava aparadha at its fundamental--pun fully intended--worst. It is important to note, though, that, despite the bullying and barking of a few "caravan-intimidating" dogs, support for Caitanya dasa's Hare Krishna Diary blog has been overwhelmingly positive and well-received by devotees; it is the so-called devotees with their hidden agendas and ulterior motives---subtly, sometimes even grossly, promoting illicit sex life and other forms of sense gratification and mental speculation---who feel threatened by the purity of Caitanya dasa's preaching. Caitanya dasa isn't the first Prabhupadanuga to raise the demonic ire---and become the object of poisonous envy---of non-devotees and so-called devotees alike, and he won't be the last. Such is the austerity a Vaisnava must undergo and personal sacrifice he must make to disseminate and propogate the teachings of Krsna consciousness.Here are some excerpts--that need NO annotations or interpretations--- from Srila Prabhupada's transcendental books, whose contents destroy these miscreants' and rascals' delusions and misunderstandings. From Bhagavad gita As It Is Chapter 1, Text 40
TEXT 40
adharmabhibhavat krsna
pradusyanti kula-striya
hstrisu dustasu varsneya
jayate varna-sankarah
SYNONYMS adharma--irreligion; abhibhavat--having become predominant; krsna--O Krsna; pradusyanti--become polluted; kula-striyah--family ladies; strisu--of the womanhood; dustasu--being so polluted; varsneya--O descendant of Vrsni; jayate--it so becomes; varna-sankarah--unwanted progeny.
TRANSLATION When irreligion is prominent in the family, O Krsna, the women of the family become corrupt, and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vrsni, comes unwanted progeny.
PURPORT: Good population in human society is the basic principle for peace, prosperity and spiritual progress in life. The varnasrama religion's principles were so designed that the good population would prevail in society for the general spiritual progress of state and community. Such population depends on the chastity and faithfulness of its womanhood. As children are very prone to be misled, women are similarly very prone to degradation. Therefore, both children and women require protection by the elder members of the family. By being engaged in various religious practices, women will not be misled into adultery. According to Canakya Pandita, women are generally not very intelligent and therefore not trustworthy. So, the different family traditions of religious activities should always engage them, and thus their chastity and devotion will give birth to a good population eligible for participating in the varnasrama system. On the failure of such varnasrama-dharma, naturally the women become free to act and mix with men, and thus adultery is indulged in at the risk of unwanted population. Irresponsible men also provoke adultery in society, and thus unwanted children flood the human race at the risk of war and pestilence.
In closing I would like to add that recently many of these so-called devotees are complaining that the devotees in ISKCON will turn away people who are sincerely interested in Krsna consciousness unless Srila Prabhupada's teachings are watered down. These so-called devotees are complaining that ISKCON devotees shouldn't preach certain so-called unsavory or unfavorable aspects of Krsna consciousness for fear of preventing or discouraging a conditioned soul from accepting Krsna consciousness. What nonsense ! Utter rubbish and arrogant deceit ! Srila Prabhupada often compared the priceless teachings of this great Krsna consciousness movement to a diamond and precious stone jeweler...in that not everyone will abandon their nonsense ways and surrender to Krsna, just as many people cannot afford real diamonds and will settle for less and an inferior product so that they may continue with sinful activity and at the same time practice a false and concocted form of spirituality as though it is the genuine article. Such is the charade of the cheater and the cheated...ISKCON is the genuine article...the real deal, as it were, and it must not be watered down, diluted and cheapened to attract thousands upon thousands of mudhas and miscreants the way the countless other fake, bogus and manufactured so-called yoga movements are being mass marketed...better ISKCON keep its preaching pure and unadulterated by serpent and maya philosophies, and attract a few good men and women, who will take Krsna consciousness seriously and not frivolously. Leave the cheating to the cheaters and the cheated.
Thank you and hare krsna .
Your servant,
Arjuna dasa
