Srila Prabhupada on Homosexual Activity
BY: KRSNACANDRA DASA
Feb 05, USA (SUN) — In response to Hrdayananda Goswami’s blessing for the homosexual marriage of two gay male devotees, here are the very clear statements of Srila Prabhupada prohibiting homosexual activity in whatever form or style.
"Homosex. You see? He's advocating homosex. Just see. These has been topsy-turvied.
Prabhupada: Everyone says, "It is my morality." Everyone can manufacture (indistinct). Just like, for example in India if somebody talks of homosex (indistinct) immoral, and here it is going on.. (indistinct). So what is morality?
At least, in animal society there is no homosex.
The animal also do not support homosex. They have never sex life between male to male. They are less than animal. People are becoming less than animal.
Prabhupada: No no, what is their value? When they are sanctioning abortion, homosex, now they are finished. They have no value.
Now they are so much sexually disturbed, they're discussing about the profit of homosex. Where is first-class men?
Prabhupada: That means they are gliding down towards hell, that's all. Yoñitäà saìgi-saìgam. Now they are coming to the platform of homosex.
Prabhupada: They have got homosex? Dogs, hogs, I don't think.
This homosex propaganda is another side of impotency. So that is natural.. If you enjoy too much, then you become impotent."
Therefore this is a gigantic deviation from Srila Prabhupada’s teachings on the part of Hrdayananda Goswami, and the GBC must take action to fix this situation if they want to protect Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. Otherwise, I see no other choice than to leave the ISKCON institution. How can we remain inside an institution that is so blatantly disrespectful of its Founder/Acarya's teachings, and not be willing to defend them?
This is the last limit. It is the GBC’s responsibility to maintain Srila Prabhupada’s standards. If Srila Prabhupada was highly against homosexuality, and yet one of ISKCON’s leading members, a sannyasi guru, is supporting it, then that constitutes a massive deviation. The GBC must deal with this and stop Hrdayananda Goswami’s bogus deviations, or else this ISKCON institution will be lost. If the GBC takes no action, then we all know what we must do (and that is to leave the institution (ISKCON) that is allowing such deviations).
Your humble servant,

Prabhupada: "Homosex. They are supporting homosex. So degraded, and still they say, "What we have done?" They do not know what is degradation, and they are priest. They are teaching others. They do not know what is the meaning of degradation."
