| Guru Hoax founder’s sex literature shocker |
Spring 2007
Prevoiusly
we reported the shocking decline into extreme profanities and attacks on
the process of Krishna consciousness by the co-founder of ISKCON’s Great
Guru Hoax, Satsvarupa Das (henceforward referred to in this article as “SD”,
and formerly known as Satsvarupa Das “Goswami”, meaning “master of the
senses”, before his illicit affair with a married woman).
Shockingly, as we now show below, SD has added mundane sex literature to
his use of extreme profanities:
| “Bold as she was, she placed his
hands on her breasts. She then kissed him and placed her tongue
in his mouth. His tongue also entered hers. She embraced him and
by now he had a half erection […] Braja dasa sat down and calmed his genitals […] He didn’t want to stick his genital into some well formed beauty star. He wanted Sandy. And he had heard from a Godbrother who worked as a physical therapist that a man could even have sexual intercourse with a paraplegic […] It’s not just a sticking in of a penis into a vagina. It’s the being together in the touching and the embracing that lead up to the mechanics and the orgasm.” (Sanatorium, Gita Nagari Press, 2005, Satsvarupa Das, p.360, 361, 420) |
The above represents only a small representative
sample, as we have reproduced the minimum necessary to prove our point.
The book actually contains much more by the way of such “sex
literature” and profanities.
Some may wonder at the relevance of continuing to expose SD’s
deviations, since following his falldown, it is assumed he was removed
as acting as a diksa guru in ISKCON. However, this relates only
to him taking on more disciples.
As a look at his website will show at least for the disciples he already
has, it is “guru business” as usual, as evidenced by pictures of his
“Vyasa-Puja” held in Mexico last year. (Vyasa-Puja is a
festival where the guru is worshipped as “good as God” by his
disciples). More relevant, however, is the fact, as mentioned
previously, that a personality who is considered to be one the leading
gurus in ISKCON, HH Bhakti Caru Swami (“BCS”), continues to assert that
SD is “undoubtedly a very advanced devotee”. Clearly therefore,
it is necessary to demonstrate that neither is SD in a position to
remain as diksa guru, and more importantly, by his inability to
discriminate between a “very advanced” and fallen devotee, nor is BCS.
Srila Prabhupada has many times condemned such sex literature as against
the principles of Krishna conscious life (naturally, we have had to
highlight the above extracts from SD’s book to expose such “guru”
hypocrisy):
“We should not waste our time simply reading these all nonsense literatures, sex literatures. Simply wasting their time. Tad vayasam tirtham. To read nonsense ordinary literature and books or newspaper is compared just like the pleasure place of the crows […]
What is there in the sex literature? There is no new information; the same sex life, that’s all.”
(Srila Prabhupada Lecture, July 12, 1969).
Amazingly, SD has the audacity to dedicate such “crow’s literature” to Srila Prabhupada, and wishes that such sex literature is widely read around the world:
| “Most of all I acknowledge my
spiritual master, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada […] I pray that Sanatorium pleases him and that he blesses it to be widely read around the globe.” (Sanatorium, Gita Nagari Press, 2005, Satsvarupa Das, ‘Acknowledgements’) |
Clearly, any sane devotee would ask why SD, a
“renounced” monk in his mid-60s, having just one year prior to the
publication of this graphic novel been exposed in an illicit affair with
a married woman, is still regarded as a “very advanced devotee”
and an initiating guru successor to Srila Prabhupada?
Such blatant deviation from the bona fide spiritual master’s
instructions, and the subsequent moral and spiritual degradation that
follows thereafter, is only to be expected when one tries to replace the
spiritual master and occupy his seat without any authorisation, as SD
and his fellow guru hoaxers have done:
“One should not imitate the behaviour of an advanced devotee or maha-bhagavata without being self-realized, for by such imitation one will eventually become degraded.”
