Now the news is Prabhavisnu Swami has been directly busted in Bangkok, arm in arm with his girlfriend prostitute AGAIN. This time by his own disciple of 20 years, who confronted him three weeks ago on the street after following him for some time. This disciple is an old friend of mine.
Prabhavisnu is being "confronted" today, in Canberra, by Prahladananda, the so-called "Minister for Sannyasa". What a joke. Let's see the cover-up job the GBC try to hatch this time.
Prabhu Visnu Swami routed his disciples for lakhs of dollars. Our once great ISKCON is scraping the bottom of the barrel and is run by goondas, thugs and the biggest cheaters of all.
Oz is reeling, as it was hushed up for three weeks (true GBC style), but now it is out and flying. The Oz zone will have to decide what to do now, but many are calling for a pow wow to rout GBC cronies and crooks.
We really need a rout of the Grand 'ol Boys Club.

The prostitute Pingala said: Just see how greatly illusioned I am! Because I cannot control my mind, just like a fool I desire lusty pleasure from an insignificant man.

I am such a fool that I have given up the service of that person who, being eternally situated within my heart, is actually most dear to me. That most dear one is the Lord of the universe, who is the bestower of real love and happiness and the source of all prosperity. Although He is in my own heart, I have completely neglected Him. Instead I have ignorantly served insignificant men who can never satisfy my real desires and who have simply brought me unhappiness, fear, anxiety, lamentation and illusion.

yan me jatah sukhavahah
Although I most stubbornly hoped to enjoy the material world, somehow or other detachment has arisen in my heart, and it is making me very happy. Therefore the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vishnu, must be pleased with me. Without even knowing it, I must have performed some activity satisfying to Him.

A person who has developed detachment can give up the bondage of material society, friendship and love, and a person who undergoes great suffering gradually becomes, out of hopelessness, detached and indifferent to the material world. Thus, due to my great suffering, such detachment awoke in my heart; yet how could I have undergone such merciful suffering if I were actually unfortunate? Therefore, I am in fact fortunate and have received the mercy of the Lord. He must somehow or other be pleased with me.

With devotion I accept the great benefit that the Lord has bestowed upon me. Having given up my sinful desires for ordinary sense gratification, I now take shelter of Him, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

I am now completely satisfied, and I have full faith in the Lords mercy. Therefore I will maintain myself with whatever comes of its own accord. I shall enjoy life with only the Lord, because He is the real source of love and happiness.
Its just ridiculous. Did you see how young this sannyasis is? Its just plain ridiculous. Srila Prabhupada said, no more sannyasis! He also said, in old age one must. The conclusion is; this sannyasi is too young and not a sannyasi at all, get him a wife for God's sake!!

Nirmama Mataji has quoted some very select and intimate verses, very relevant and to be taken deeply to heart. To be Krsna conscious is much much more than accepting corporate standing and dressing in orange clothes in order to charismatically entrance and control slave-minded sycophants of the corrupted Iskcon GBC system.
Yes, I just wonder how long can these people play their game of duplicity? How much longer? Do they all need to be caught up in their act?
Here is his letter of resign:
To the members of the GBC and devotees of ISKCON,
Dear Maharajas and prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!
It is with deep regret that I wish to inform you that I have resigned from all positions of leadership within ISKCON, including GBC member, sannyas, and initiating guru. This is because in recent times I have not been able to maintain the required spiritual standards for those who hold such positions.
I have become physically and mentally exhausted due to constant travel and managerial pressures. It has been especially draining for me to try to solve disputes amongst devotees, as I am by nature a non-conflictive type of person.
I have travelled almost constantly throughout my life since childhood and now I feel the need to settle in one place where I find the climate and culture to be agreeable my physical and mental nature. I am considering staying in Thailand as I find it to be such a place, and as I have also developed some affection for a person there who is decent, kind-hearted, diligent and humble. If that works out for me then I certainly hope to render some service to ISKCON there. If not, then I would hope to try and live in an ISKCON temple or community, perhaps in South India.
I am very sorry to have let you all down. I have never asked to be put in any of these positions of leadership, but by Krsna's arrangement they have been conferred upon me. I have tried my best, but somehow I no longer feel able to continue in such capacity. Nevertheless, I have always been very happy in ISKCON from the moment I joined till the present. It has been a great honour for me to have had the opportunity to render some service to Srila Prabhupad's movement, and to have had all of your association. I hope to be able to continue to maintain contact with devotees, visit ISKCON temples from time to time and render service to ISKCON in the future.
Once again my deepest apologies to you all. Kindly forgive any mistakes that I have made or any offences that I may have committed to any of you.
I hope this finds you in good health and Krsna conscious mood,
Your unqualified servant,
Prabhavisnu das.

It is the fault of the phony GBCs who have all deviated by dint of going along with poisoning the spiritual master. Now, for material purposes, they made this naive young man take up responsiblities for which he was unready, and have kicked the old guard, who are actually qualified for sannyasa, out of our organization. They have created a gambling and cheating cult. This is ridiculous also, that at this time in my life, I, we, all of us, have to deal with a bunch of young fools pretending to be Godlike GOOROO !
Srila Prabhupada is right. My interpretation is that; There should never again be sannyasis under age 50-65. All sannyasis should pass through the preceding ashramas, in order, and nicely. A man who has no child is less likely to be fit to be a social guide for society; and more likely to harbor odd behaviors not acceptable to Vaisnava tenets. There will be exceptions, but so rare as not to count in standard considerations.
A child-like fame seeking rush to accept high standards one cannot maintain is breaking a chief instruction of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Upadesamrta not to accept more than one is capable of readily handling and to thus overendeavor for mundane things. This can spoil one's devotional service, example as this devotee's case, now plus any disciples so-called, also effected terribly. We can just imagine their psychological reactions; in the end, they will loosen their own morals they will say it cannot be done by anyone, and will thus decide that moral relativism is correct, ie they may drop the standards ie become atheists. But the fault is not in the path, it is in the misapplication of the basic tenets. Sannyasis are good, celibacy is good. Young jet-setting cult-ish rich but celibate sannyasis are not good.
I just now found out hes over 60 years old! Jan 11 ,2012 Ed.
Turns out Prabhvishnu is older than I am, about 61!! And i thought he was a young man who fell down, but no, older man. Double ouch.
Later; that must be incorrect, or the pictures of him are old when he was much younger? He looks about 40 ish to me.
That's exactly how I had to learn not to rush with conclusions. Any kind of information must be checked, once or twice or more.
Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja Prabhupada
Letter to his London disciples, July, 1969:
"Therefore having a bona fide spiritual master and serving him and pleasing him and getting his mercy is essential. Otherwise there can be no advancement in Krishna consciousness. And unless the spiritual master is a pure devotee of Krishna then he has no potency to give you Krishna. He is simply a cheating rascal.
So in fact above all the rules and regulations and offenses I have mentioned the most important thing, the essential thing, which is required if you want to come to the stage of purely chanting the Hare Krishna mantra is you must have a bona fide spiritual master who is a pure devotee of Krishna. Without having a bona fide spiritual master you can chant Hare Krishna forever but you will not be able to advance because Krishna does not reveal Himself in this way. He only reveals Himself to those devotees who surrender to and serve and please His pure devotees."

All ISKCON devotees whose bogus guru has fallen down including Prabhavisnu das and they now worship Srila Prabhupada and do not have a living guru, are Rtviks, plain and simple. Now many may say they are not and may even say they are anti-rtviks, but the fact remains, that they are following a rtvik system. They do not have ‘living guru.” They worship Prabhupada directly. So regardless what they may say or claim, they follow a rtvik system.
Now if ISKCON encourages Prabhavisnu’s disciples to take shelter of Srila Prabhupada, and yet they say rtviks are deviants, one has to ask, “how does worshipping a bogus guru qualify one to worship Prabhupada directly after the bogus guru falls down, but one who can detect he is bogus before he falls, is not qualified to worship Prabhupada directly? How does having a bogus guru fall down, make one eligable to worship Prabhupada directly? Any intelligent person will say that if a disciple whose guru has fallen can take shelter of Srila Prabhupada, then naturally a sincere rtvik follower can also take shelter of Srila Prabhupada. if some says this is incorrect, then can they explain this logically?
