April 2018 The Titanic Taproots - The Finale The Kirtanananda swami expose by Kailäsa Candra däsa Second of a Two-part Series Having described the early escapades of Kértanänanda some months ago--and, in the first of this three-part series, having described an overview of them--and having compared him to T.K.G. (in terms of how they and their guëa-karma played out similarly or otherwise), it is now time to move on. In doing so, it is impossible to avoid discussing three major events, two of them violent, that transpired at, or in relation to, the Moundsville camp. Your author, although he received his Harer Näma initiation in 1972 at “New Våndävan,” was only there twice. Both of those visits were in the early to mid-Seventies, and they were very brief, no more than two days each. As such, our direct experience of the place, of its ambiance, of the general attitude of its “inmates,” of its leaders (some of whom constituted a kind of rogue's gallery), and of the specifics of what went down there, is limited.

February 2018 Totalitarianism & Vedic Totalism: The Difference is Night and Day by Kailäsa Candra däsa Part Four of a Four-part Series “Most thankless task. We want to save them, and they accuse us. . . That is natural. But he is angry, 'Why you have checked my kite-flying?' So, it is a different type of civilization, a different style of life. If you want to introduce, they will accuse you--so many, like madmen--and still we have to do. That is preaching. You cannot expect very smooth life in preaching.” Room Conversation, 1-26-77 in Puré, India “Otherwise, if you led by another blind man, what is your benefit? Andhä yathändhair upanéyamänäù . . . Just like a blind man going, falling into the ditch, we say, 'No, no. Don't go there. You'll fall down.' But he becomes angry, 'Why you are instructing me?' That is our thankless task.” Morning Walk, 12-6-73 in Los Angeles You lock the door and throw away the key, There's someone in my head, but it's not me.

The VAISHNAVA FOUNDATION was founded in order to provide a forum for honest seekers of the Absolute Truth. Inherent in the purposes of the Foundation is the need to discriminate between sentimentally-driven Kåñëa consciousness and Kåñëa consciousness which is actually based on the instructions of the previous spiritual masters. As such, the Foundation keeps the emphasis on knowledge and realization, as opposed to absorption in congregationalism.

The Vaishnava Foundation spares no effort in presenting the philosophy of Kåñëa consciousness as it was presented most recently by our spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedänta Swämi Prabhupäda. In this way, the Vaishnava Foundation does not sacrifice the Absolute Truth for the sake of some ephemeral unity or so-called cooperation.

In addition to offering a firm philosophical foundation, the Foundation sheds special light on the plight of the Kåñëa consciousness movement since the departure of His Divine Grace in November of 1977.

The Vaishnava Foundation was founded in 1986 by Kailäsa Candra däsa, an initiated disciple of Swämi Prabhupäda. The Foundation presents the same message and spirit that was available during the manifest physical presence of His Divine Grace, repeating his message as it is according to experience, logic, and personal realization. This is possible due to the leadership of Çréman Kailäsa Candra däsa, who represents Çréla Prabhupäda and directs service activities for the members of the foundation. Kailäsa prabhu’s teachings preserve the philosophy of Çréla Prabhupäda, because he has never allowed himself to come under the influence of party-spirit factions, such as the zonal äcäryas or those that have come after.

Çréla Prabhupäda was extremely pleased by devotees who were familiar enough with his books to resist misleading presentations by deluded leaders of his movement, such as the four sannyäsés of 1970. Strictly adhering to Çréla Prabhupäda’s instructions, Kailäsa prabhu has provided such an alternative since at least 1979. (see biography)

Those who affiliate with the Foundation obtain the opportunity to help him in this effort and thus obtain the mercy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedänta Swämi Prabhupäda.

Svarüpa-jïäna--or intrinsic knowledge concerning the sädhaka, the sädhana, and sädhya--is non different from the svarüpa of çuddha bhakti. When such svarüpa-jïäna has not yet arisen in a sädhaka--but the desire to cross over the ocean of material existence has arisen within him--then the symptoms of bhakti visible in him at that time are merely bhaktyäbhäsa. This bhaktyäbhäsa transforms into çuddha-bhakti when one obtains svarüpa-jïäna. Even for Vaiñëavas duly initiated into a genuine sampradäya, the vastu-prabha--the illumination of one's identity arising from the mantra received upon initiation by his dékñä-guru--does not appear until he receives the enlightenment of his svarüpa-jïäna by the mercy of çikñä-guru. Due to ignorance of svarüpa-jïäna, svarüpa-çuddha-bhakti remains covered. Hence, only bhaktyäbhäsa is visible.

Unfortunately, in present day society, in the name of çuddha-bhakti, various types of mixed devotion--such as karma-miçra, jïäna-miçra, and yoga-miçra, as well as various polluted and imaginary conceptions, are spreading like germs of plague. People in general consider these polluted and mixed conceptions to be bhakti. They respect them as such and thus are deprived of çuddha-bhakti. These polluted and mixed conceptions are our greatest enemies.

Some people say that there is no value in bhakti, that God is only imaginary sentiment, that man has merely created the image of God through imagination, and that bhakti is a diseased state, unable to benefit us in any way. These types of opponents cannot harm us much, because we easily recognize them and avoid them. However, those who propagate bhagavad-bhakti as the highest dharma--yet behave against the principles of çuddha-bhakti--can be especially harmful to us. In the name of bhakti, they instruct us against the actual principles of bhakti. This ultimately leads us to a path that is diametrically opposed to bhagavad-bhakti. Therefore, with great endeavor, our previous äcäryas have defined the svarüpa or intrinsic nature of bhakti, repeatedly cautioning us to keep away from polluted and mixed concepts.
