A Sinful City.

22nd of Febuary 2011 Christchurch New Zealand endured its 2nd major earthquake in 6 months. The devestating aftermath has left many dead, the City center in ruins and worse Nitai Gauracandra Deities and Iskcon Temple in ruins with no hope of repair. We all know it is most inauspicous when something happens to the Deity form of our Lord/Lordships etc. I would like to give my personal opinion as to why Nitai Gaura have chosen to leave the association of the devotees. The mood within this temple is simply this "Nitai Gaura are most merciful". Therfore many offences are caused within and brushed away with "Nitai Gaura is most merciful, and They dont see our faults" But as we see when Mahaprabhu exhibited His wrath in the case of Jagai and Madhai when Nityananda Prabhu was assaulted even the most merciful Caitanya Mahaprabhu will only tolerate so much, but will never tolerate the offences to His pure devotee. The list of offences caused by the devotees at the temple is long and unpalatable to hear...(cont part 2)
...Part 2...1) Smokers and unqualified people dress the Deities. 2) Methadone users dress Prabhupada. 3)Anyone can cook for the Deities and enter the Deity kitchen. 4) Offerings are cooked in oil. 5) Anyone and everyone sit on the Vyasasan...a that is only reserved for Prabhupada. 6)Unqualified Gurus get obeisances paid to them in front of the Deities. 7)Those getting married a second time getting married before the Deity. 8)Nonsense discussions before the Deity. 9)Everyone going against the order of Krsnas pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. 10) Unqualified envious people in management. 11) No one rings the bell before entering the temple 12) Physical fights before the Deities leaving blood on the temple floor13) Brahmacaris looking at inappropriate pornographic sights. 15) Brahmacaris inappropriately touching young girls, 16) Bhoga being eaten prior to being offered. 17) Nonsense jibba jabba while bathing and dressing the Lord...etc etc. I could go on about the offences but the bottom line is Nitai Gaura is...
... not happy and has chosen to leave the temple. These offences have been going on for years. It is a double standard establishment. Example. There was 2 different couples getting married. The first couple got married not in front of Nita...i Gaura as the Mataji had given birth to a child with another man. The 2nd couple due to popularity had the fire yajna and got married in front of the Deities, however the male had been married previously. But this doesnt matter as Nitai Gaura are most merciful. Depending on who you are or who you know are you accepted by the devotees there. This is not Mahaprabhus mood. Everyone knows about Prabhupadas Guru Acarya order, due to the preaching, but more so due to the previous TP Hanumanji leaving with many devotees taking to the bona fide Rtvik path. Srila Prabhupada was untouched in the devestation and still remains in tact. This alone makes you wonder. This incident should be looked at with knowledge and should be an eye opener for those who disregard the instructions...
...of our Founding Father Srila A.C.Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada. The Radha Sanga Temple and Hare Krishna Cafe managed by Rtviks is still standing. Surrounding them buildings crumbled, people lost their lives, but yet they are standing. ...These comments are not at all glorifying the fall of the Temple but is simply a note to let others see why this has happened. I will make many enemies writing this but someone has to awaken those who cause similar offences. So how to look at this as Krsnas mercy. He wants us all to take shelter of His pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. Hence why He left Him untouched in His murti form. It is disheartening for the devotees who went to this temple, but if I was amongst you, I would certainly questioning why this has happened and look at my behavior. Even Nitai Gaura has become displeased. Jaya Srila Prabhupada. Jaya Nitai Gauracandra.
