False Acarya and False Guru

by Bhagavat Maharaja

 OW Fortunately for me I do not WANNA B A GURU. I am happy just giving Hari Katha and helping every one remember Krishna and our guru Varga by telling stories. If we look at all the biggest Acharyas in our recent history we will see that they all did serious bhajan for many years before they initiated disciples. Srila Saraswati Thakura chanted 1 billion names before he started initiating. Srila Prabhupada did Bhajan for many years in Vraja before he started initiating. Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja did Bhajan for many years in that mud hut before he gave initiation. Srila Gurudeva did Bhajan for many years in Mathura before he gave initiation. If someone thinks that he is being called by the Guruvarga to perform the task of initiation then it would be in their best interests to follow in the foot steps of our illustrious Gurus of the recent past so that they are properly prepared for the task. That is the school they should go to in order to become guru the school of intensive Bhajan, This is my opinion.

OW Felizmente para mim, eu não quero B um guru. Estou feliz apenas dando Hari Katha e ajudando a cada um lembrar-se de Krishna e nosso guru Varga contando histórias. Se olharmos para todos os maiores Acharyas na nossa história recente veremos que todos eles fizeram bhajan sério por muitos anos antes de iniciado discípulos. Srila Saraswati Thakura cantou um bilião nomes antes de começar a iniciar. Srila Prabhupada fez Bhajan por muitos anos em Vraja antes de começar a iniciar. Srila Gaura Govinda Maharaja fez Bhajan por muitos anos em que cabana de barro antes de dar iniciação. Srila Gurudeva fez Bhajan por muitos anos em Mathura, antes que ele deu iniciação. Se alguém pensa que ele está sendo chamado pelo Guruvarga para executar a tarefa de iniciação, então seria do seu interesse para seguir os passos do pé de nossos Gurus ilustres do passado recente, de modo que eles sejam devidamente preparados para a tarefa Essa é a escola que deve ir para a fim de tornar-se guru da escola de Bhajan intensivo, esta é a minha opinião.

Padma Purana:

sampradaya-ye vihīnā
mantras te niṣphalā matāḥ

"A menos que seja iniciado por um mestre espiritual autêntico na sucessão discipular, o mantra que você pode ter recebido é sem efeito."

Deviation from Srila Prabhupada’s instructions

 The present crisis is obviously due to our deviation from Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.”


GBC does not mean to control a center. GBC means to see that the activities of a center go on nicely. I do not know why Tamala is exercising his absolute authority.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is the creation and property of its Founder-Acarya, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who incorporated the institution as a nonprofit religious organization in the year 1966.  Srila Prabhupada, as He is called by His followers, physically departed in the year 1977, leaving the ISKCON movement in the hands of a small group of His leading disciples known collectively as the Governing Body Commission (GBC), appointed previously by Srila Prabhupada to oversee operations within ISKCON and maintain the standards and precepts established by Him.  Since that time there have been numerous controversies, scandals and criminal activities throughout the worldwide ISKCON organization, resulting in dramatic reduction of membership and worldwide defamation. The original spiritual purpose of this institution has been seriously diminished due to social stigma, and the current standards and practices of ISKCON reveal a dramatic departure from those of the institution bearing the same name 40 years ago when Srila Prabhupada was personally present.  To reconcile the ISKCON of 40 years ago with the ISKCON of today,  and to restore the ISKCON intended by Srila Prabhupada, it is necessary to analyze the chain of events that took place between then and now.

On July 28th, 1970, Srila Prabhupada presented to the ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC) a signed order that was to function as the essential Managing Structure for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) from that point onward – The Direction of Management.  This order went ignored by the GBC, and failed to reach the thousands of individuals composing the rest of the ISKCON membership, most notably the Temple Presidents (one per temple), to whom the document specifically pertained.  When Srila Prabhupada discovered the GBC’s rejection of His Direction of Management order in 1974, He again issued the order for the Direction of Management in a letter marked “TOPMOST URGENCY”.  Just as in 1970, this second order for the Direction of Management went ignored and largely uncommunicated to the ISKCON public.

The ramifications of the disobedience of the 1970 Direction of Management order are complex, and at the root of all ISKCON activities of a questionable nature that have transpired from its inception to the present day.  This website is created by disciples of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, to reveal the Direction of Management and its re-statement, the “TOPMOST URGENCY” letter to the public, and associated items.  Our goal in presenting this information is to create a surge of interest throughout ISKCON leading to public advocacy for the establishment of the Direction of Management, and all other orders of ISKCON’s Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada, into the incorporation papers, charters, and legal contracts of all ISKCON temples.

Every written order of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada is to be followed “As It Is”, just as His Bhagavad Gita presents Lord Krishna’s Order “As It Is”.  His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, by virtue of being an Uttama Adhikari, exists and speaks on the same exact platform as Sri Krishna, and therefore can be known and understood as the “Person Bhagavat”.  As such, we can consider His Divine Words to be equal to and as substantive as Divine Scripture.  For this reason, His Direction of Management of 1970 must be considered to be equal to revealed scripture itself.  Disobedience of the direct order of the Pure Devotee, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, is not in any way different from direct and deliberate disobedience of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna Himself.
