Song Being a lifelong songwriter as well as initiated disciple of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami I know the effect of song and it’s origination. My spiritual master often talked about the uselessness of ” rubbish sex songs”. By this he did not mean songs about the act of reproduction but theContinue Reading
Judge For Yourself -KGBG p.114 We have been asked to review all the hearsay, revisions of what can be heard in whispers, jump-to-conclusions hair studies, coincidental health timelines, 249 pages of character assassinations, insufficient medical diagnosis, questionable qualified expert opinions, allegations from false witness, translation disputes, retracted assertions, suspicions aboutContinue Reading
Calling Sisupala’s Bluff The so-called evidence compiled by the Goof team is sloppy, unprofessional, speculative, and pragmatically absurd. Those who created this huge conspiracy originally came just short of admitting how it is a tactical maneuver that would get laughed out of court if they tried to take it there.Continue Reading
In 2001, Sripad Jayadavaita Swami gave a lecture series titled “Food for Death”, which is still available on his website at http://www.jswami.info/seminars#food and which examined how prasadam distribution seen by the public as ordinary welfare work affects ISKCON’s core values. Sripad Bhakti Vikasa Swami in his 2011 lectures titled “Some Concerns About ISKCON” and “Further Discussion on Concerns About ISKCON” addresses the same issue Jayadvaita Swami addressed but in a more generalized context that includes other welfare initiatives.[1] Bhakti Vikasa Maharaja in his lectures also addresses what he identifies as fundamental, philosophical differences that have emerged within our society.
As far as social welfare is concerned, the lectures of both Swamis make a common point: the time and resources devotees increasingly give to indirect preaching in the form of welfare work, at the expense of direct preaching, reflects ISKCON’s growing acceptance of karma-kanda as a part of its core mission and, hence, core values.Continue Reading

Besides being an extremely juvenileContinue Reading
Innocent Until Proven Guilty The glaring proof that none of the prestidigitations we are being offered is legitimate is that, if it was, a court case would have been filed a long time ago. Those perpetuating this myth know all too well that these tales of who-done-it, intrigue would neverContinue Reading
Adhyatmika Miseries Tamal Krishna Goswami was indeed a complex, intense, and high profile personality but he also had a soft side that I personally got to know as did many others. Certainly, his numerous disciples don’t experience him to be the terrible monster that he is portrayed as by theContinue Reading
Some Were Curious, Some Were Crazy! As the symptoms of Srila Prabhupada’s physical body began to impede on his ability to translate, all his disciples worldwide became more concerned about his longevity. We had become so dependent on his guidance, inspiration, and Krishna Conscious nurturing that the thought of HisContinue Reading
Think Zebra Prognosis!? On one hand, the Goof Team tells us that the conspirators executed this very intricate plot over the course of 12 months, a plot that required perfectly measured doses of a poison nobody ever heard of, or could possibly know how to use, so Srila Prabhupada wouldContinue Reading
Reliability We would like to believe that professional people are always reliable, competent and honest, but as we have just illustrated, neither the Genova Labs nor those behind the claim that Prabhupada was maliciously poisoned appear to be. We have already identified numerous examples illustrating how the only thing holdingContinue Reading
