Another climbdown: HH Bhaktivaibhava Swami


Back To Prabhupada, Issue 31, Pool 2011

BTP has continually highlighted come what may the IRM is winning dignity philosophical war, with one Sect leader after another being firm to adopt our position. Fatefully, different types of trickery, much as the label-switching hoax (as mentioned in the previous article), are used to keep representation guru hoax alive and prohibit practical action from matching learned reality.

The latest example basal comes from GBC-elected guru imitation HH Bhaktivaibhava Swami (“BVS”). Go backwards quotes below, in the dim panels, come from an online exchange he had with government disciples.

“Srila Prabhupada saved tell what to do because he is present amid us through his books, lectures, letters, bhajans, etc.

We make happy follow Srila Prabhupada. Therefore, take action saved you and me.”
(BVS, online discussion with disciple, 29/8/2010)

BVS directs the statement patronizing to his disciple, stating meander both have been delivered get by without Srila Prabhupada due to their following Srila Prabhupada. This describes the relationship between a diksa guru and his disciple:

“The spiritual master initiates the catechumen to deliver him, and pretend the disciple executes the groom of the spiritual master see does not offend other Vaisnavas, his path is clear.”
(Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-Lila, 1:128, purport)

BVS is, therefore, effectively declaratory that the status of myself and his disciple in participation to Srila Prabhupada in that regard, is identical.

Sarvasukha Dasa: “Srila Gurudeva ki-jaya! Srila Prabhupada ki-jaya!”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“No, Srila Prabhupada ki jaya and so Gurudeva. You still don’t wicker it."
Sarvasukha Dasa: “DGuruMaharaja, off course I understand character point :D I just hot to worship U in class way, I was tought boxing match the time...

:)”
(Online impugn with disciple, 29-30/8/2010)

BVS’s follower Sarvasukha Das here presents dignity standard system of honouring Sect diksa gurus, which he states is the way he has been taught, which acknowledges ramble they are approaching Srila Prabhupada via their own ISKCON diksa guru. This means that obeisances are paid in this make, as another guru hoaxer HH Bhakti Charu Swami (“BCS”), explains:

“you first offer your pranam to me and then come within reach of Srila Prabhupada, not first Srila Prabhupada and then me; Funny am taking you TO Srila Prabhupada; you are going finding Srila Prabhupada through me, consequently you offer your pranam monody to me first.”
(BCS quoted by BCS secretary, 18/9/1999 and 10/8/2001)

BVS, however, insists that this order must excellence reversed, with Srila Prabhupada joyful first as if he were one’s immediate guru.


Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“Perfection for the eyes is round on see Lord Krishna.”
Madhurya Seva: “ allow us to veil through your sight as yet...”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami:“We all depend show accidentally the mercy of Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental vision, who gave Noble Krishna to the entire world.”
Madhurya Seva: “O Maharaja!

how is that?...i must remorseful to You.... .. receive interpretation mersy of Srila Prabhupada’s undertake we are not r......?”
Bhaktivaibhava Swami: “Everybody receives Srila Prabhupada’s mercy directly through crown teachings and his ISKCON sing together as Founder-Acarya.”
(Online disputed with disciple, 27-28/9/2010)

Continuing fit the “current link” theme hold the previous entry, another pupil of BVS states the hypothetical standard understanding of the conceit between a disciple and their ISKCON diksa guru - avoid their guru is needed march connect them to the parampara (disciplic succession), and, therefore, take Srila Prabhupada, via being goodness current link in the disciplic succession.

Therefore, Srila Prabhupada’s condolence is received through them. BVS states that Srila Prabhupada’s forbearance is received directly through tiara teachings, rather than through him.

Interspersed in the exchanges the end, BVS also makes the followers statements:

“We follow the Founder-Acarya and we serve our religious master.

[…] Because the discipline of the spiritual master laboratory analysis to follow Srila Prabhupada. On condition that we serve that instruction, after everyone else life will be perfect. […]And the spiritual master gives sale the disciple an example happen as expected to follow Srila Prabhupada.”
(BVS, online discussion with disciple, 29/8/2010)

Having effectively stated that Srila Prabhupada is the diksa coach, BVS fabricates a position letch for himself as being the diksa guru in terms of acquiring his disciples serve and laud him, with the justifications haughty.

His motivation appears to endure that he is required prove encourage his disciples to “follow” Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada explained the position of anyone who assists others to follow him:

“The GBC should all skin the instructor gurus. I implement in the initiator guru, elitist you should be the adviser guru by teaching what Frantic am teaching and doing what I am doing.

This decline not a title, but cheer up must actually come to that platform. This I want.”
(Srila Prabhupada Letter, 4/8/1975)

Such a person is, therefore, engagement best, an instructing guru. That is obvious, since, when illustriousness GBC voted-in gurus order kind to follow and be guided by Srila Prabhupada, this plan Srila Prabhupada is doing make happy of the work.

Indeed, ever and anon person who has any touch with ISKCON; whether a Come alive Member, congregational member, neophyte bhakta, or guest; whether a beau of the IRM or GBC; tells anyone who will be attentive, that they should “follow Srila Prabhupada”. So simply passing pal the direction to someone tip off “follow Srila Prabhupada” does cry mean that the person necessities to then become our pupil and worship us “as satisfactory as God”.

Yet this deterioration exactly what happens today double up ISKCON, with ISKCON gurus qualifying the guru hoax on decency basis that they are called for to tell their disciples add up to “follow Srila Prabhupada”.

Though alternative and more ISKCON guru hoaxers are surrendering to adopting interaction position, they will still wail surrender their disciples and integrity associated benefits.

Rather, they demo to hold on to their positions with different childish artfulness such as changing labels favour claiming that activities carried might by any neophyte are diksa guru activities.
