Correspondence with B. Radha Govinda Swami

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

Dear Tamohara prabhu, 

 

Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my fallen obeisances.

 

How can I say "I hope you are well," when I know how much suffering both of us are going through?

 

I'm just praying that somehow, both, you and I will be able to endure the situations we have been put into. May His DIVINE Grace, Srila Prabhupada, and ALL those in our Guru Varga, (including) Srila Gour Govinda Maharaj, give [both of] us Their MERCY!!! to enable us to continue on with Krsna consciousness despite all the INSANITY of this world.

 

Considering all the factors between everything, I think that ANYone who genuinely loves Srila Prabhupada and is desirous of serving His Divine Grace, is going through very EXTREMELY INTENSE suffering.

 

Krsna said that it is a very rare person who truly wants (and will attain) Krsna consciousness, and Jesus (in Matthew 13, 14) told his followers, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

 

So it is a very rare person who is truly desireous of developing love for Krsna, and it's difficult to find someone (in the "Hare Krsna" world who is not a politician and [is not] dishonest.

 

In these days of Kali, an honest person is generally made to suffer in so many ways for being honest.

 

If people like Tamal, Bhavanananda, Jayapataka (and others involved) could poison Srila Prabhupada - and you have Bhavananda in Mayapur being placed (again) into the "big position" of "running the show" - then that, in and of itself shows what is what in regards to ISKCON, so what to expect? 

 

I NEVER came to ISKCON because of the devotees, but ONLY because of Srila Prabhupada (in regards to Krsna's allowing me to "see" Srila Prabhupada through His books. I KNEW that this "person" was TRULY Krsna's DIRECT Ambassador, and DESPITE the devotees - who were NOT nice to me - I made the commitment to leave it all, move into the temple and serve Srila Prabhupada "in" His ISKCON, and stayed despite all the HELL I went through; the ONLY reason for my staying, being Srila Prabhupada, and my thinking that Srila Prabhupada would want that.

 

At times I feel I made a HUGE!!! mistake in doing this, but what can be done?

 

Somehow, despite everything, we must go on. It is our integrity to Srila Prabhupada which counts, and which is what Srila Prabhupada and Krsna will take into account. They KNOW what suffering we are going through in our remaining loyal to Them.

 

Please know that I love you, and am putting in prayers for you; not that the love of such an insignificant thing like me matters, and not that my prayers mean anything, but sometimes in knowing that someone has love for us, and cares about us, can make a little difference...

 

I WISH that Krsna would give us some glimpse of hope... (I can't think of the right word, so I'm having to substitute the word "hope")

I'm praying that despite all the insanity going on in this world and difficulty involved in trying to endure through it, you please be as well as is possible.

May we be safely situated under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada's Lotus Feet, Those of our Guru Varga, the Vaisnavas, and Sri Sri Radha and Krsna.

With love, 

 

Your servant, 

B. Radha-Govinda

Hare Krsna

Dear B Radha Govinda Swami; Obeisances and well wishes, agtsp.

One site member  just happened to post that , so it was timely, and i sent it on to you. My own opinions on this are nil. 

I do not receive any emails anymore from the usual thread, and dont know the devotees on this one, so use the info sent as you wish. I also have no use for this continuously changing things that the gods of tech maya oblige us to deal with. Its a stupid pain.

In general, my views are so unpopular, most devotees go out of their way to pretend i do not exist. Kindly tell me why the fart i am banned by some stupid istaghosti group except that i exposed the liar Puranjana tim Lee, and now that everyone know hes an asshole, why am i still banned form that group ??? This older crowd simply is full of persons who want to be authoritarian hierarchical sycophants, and the new ones are worse. Basically unthinking people. So think, why do they ban me? Kindly ask them for me ? 

The iskcon devotees are almost all nowadays political animals and horrid to associate with. Facebook is filled with fault finders and is a disgusting filthy place of lairs and con-men and fools. I have just about had it, and ready to join Bhaktivinode in imitating his pastime of hiding away in a samadhi. The karmis are  nicer to associate with than most devotees online, including at Farcebook. So, i preached there awhile, then left it. 

A positive letter to encourage your day? lol Hare Krsna
