Response to Vidyavan: But the Caravan will Pass

BY: GURU GAURANGA DAS

Aug 26, USA (SUN) — Dear P.K. Vidyavan, I am sorry to say this, but your article and Rasaprema’s article are simply hiding your incorrect premises. That is, you are stating indirectly that:

    1) ISKCON Gurus are show-bottle.

Answer: Here you accuse all ISKCON Gurus of breaking the four regulative principles and cheating disciples for material gain. Have you any proof of any standing Guru doing these things, O saintly one. If so, the GBC will suspend or excommunicate them.

    2) That the GBC has no authority.

Answer: Srila Prabhupada has empowered the GBC’s as the authority for ISKCON.

    3) The GBC is rubber-stamping Gurus.

Answer: the GBC is not in the business of rubber-stamping Gurus. It is only when there is a request from aspiring bonafide disciples that a person is assessed for qualification.

    4) You presume that Vedic society had no Spiritual Committees and system of status vetting.

Answer: Vedic Society was highly organized, due to the affect of Kali yuga that organization degraded into the perverted caste system and Hinduism. The real system was revived by Om Vishnupada Paramahamsa 108 His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Gosvami and his revered disciple, A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It will not come to a halt with the ranting of any P.K. Avidyavan.

    5) You accuse Srila Prabhupada’s idea of GBC as imagination and revert it back to the misconceived “any beggar on the street becomes a Guru”, so called Hindu system.

Answer: We are not Hindu, but followers of Sanatana Dharma. Welcome to the 21st Century where we have order. The dark ages of diluted Vedic culture in the form of Hinduism was purified through the Divine Filter of the Lotus Like heart of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

In your conclusion you say “Srila Prabhupada; he was faithful disciple and automatic guru by the blessing of Bhagavan”, but then you insult Srila Prabhupada and Bhagavan for producing an impotent society with show-bottle gurus!!!!

Be honest, you have out of envy acted against Srila Prabhupada and his society.

This is a huge insult to our Srila Prabhupada to accuse that he was unable to produce bonafide gurus. In fact, his ISKCON is so powerful that it will produce many bona fide gurus for years together. I may be so bold as to say that all ISKCON devotees are bona fide gurus, if you tell any of them about your hallucinations they will simply call you an ignorant rascal!
