My Dear Brethren,
Some of you are true godbrothers and godsisters, some of you in name only.
Kali-chelas, sitting on the raised seat of hypocrisy, expounding eloquent truths whilst trying to keep your skeletons out of public view, deep in the closet. There is nothing that can be done for you. You are cheaters of the worst caliber. May you be exposed for what you are.
For the others, with rare exception– We may glorify Śrīla Prabhupāda on his Holy Appearance days and Disappearance days, but how are we serving his mission? The smells of the garlic sauce from the pizza deliveries waft from your windows along with the incense you offer, and your support groups meet at a different restaurant each week. The infection from unofferable foodstuffs clouds your brain with the vapor of spiritual inertia, lassitude, and “I’m OK, you’re OK.” It doesn’t matter how “organic and non-GMO” the bread is, it is not offerable foodstuff, and you eat only sin. You propound the glories of a vaccination that is evil in effect, based on aborted baby tissue and other unmentionables, yet you neglect the vaccination that Śrīla Prabhupāda gave us against the three modes of material nature- a diet of strictly Krishna prasādam. (There is no guarantee of any result, so why compromise the devotional principles?) You revel in the joy and simplicity of the “good old days,” and tell story after story about your memories of Śrīla Prabhupāda. That is nice, but it is in the past, and what about the mission? What is being brought forward? Where is the mood of para–duḥkha–duḥkhī? Stop watching lewd things on the computer in the dark of night and causing horrible misery to yourselves. We are surrounded by suffering humanity. Regain your shining light as disciples of ŚrīlaPrabhupāda and at least save yourselves.
The ritvik philosophy is not based on any teachings that Śrīla Prabhupāda gave us, nor is in it line with the example of our Vaișņava predecessors. However, neither is the organizational rubber-stamping. The bonafide spiritual master authorizes all his disciples, and it is up to the individual disciple to maintain and bring forth the teachings by personal practice, example and precept. My dear godbrothers and godsisters, claim your glorious heritage! Bring forth the lineage in purity. Instruct others, and do not feel that you have to “refer them out” for diksaif the interaction with your mentees evolves naturally into that relationship. You are qualified by your own devotional standing, if you choose to re-instate it, and by your own connection with our disciplic succession. Claim what is yours, and give it to others. Stand tall in your inheritance. You were robbed of it by a perverse and evil system that was envious of the pure mission of Mahāprabhu from almost day one and that equated the “material success” and public acceptance of the organization with the preaching endeavor. The organization and the pure essence of the preaching mission have become separated by unspeakable evil deeds. No middle man is required. You have Śrīla Prabhupāda’s marching orders. The pure disciplic succession must continue. Please bring back the life that was present when Śrīla Prabhupāda was with us. Only you have had the experience of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s personal purity and Shakti. That will be the success of your remembrance.
I beg you. Your wisdom, leadership, and empowerment is sorely needed.
Your servant,
Kamrā devī dāsī
