The Sunshine Coast, and especially its northern Noosa side, situated 150 km or so north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, needs a responsible, all in one Hare Krishna restaurant manager, cook, Krishna conscious individual.

Following the 5 regs is a must:

One and overall most important: Chanting at least 16 rounds of Japa mala beads daily or 1728 Hare Krishna Maha Mantras.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

It is very easy…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….,…..,…………….,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,……..,,

Two. No meat, fish or egg eating.

Three. No illicit sex.

Four. No gambling

Five. No intoxication.

This is a venture with a golden future for a hard working, financial, honest and strong individual, gender male or female, preferably with previous Hare Krishna rerstauration experience and fixed up in Krishna consciousness. This is a long term venture, possibly a life time venture in a wonderful surrounding, with wonderful people.

Actually this could be triplicated with a Hare Krishna Restaurant in the south, in the Maroochydore / Moolloolaba area, another in the middle, in the Coolum area and Noosa. So three restaurant managers are required here. Same qualifications as described above. Your advancement in Krishna consciousness, your gradation and quality of Krishna consciousness will be the most important item in the mix. On a first come, first served basis. If interested please get in touch and we can talk further and supply more information. Thank you.

October 8th, 2024 Throughout the Hari Nama Procession we displayed the following sign:

But there was hardly any reaction from the public. People here are mostly concerned with the 3 Ss: Sun, Surf and Sand.

That’s him. Let us wipe his smart Alec grinning off his face.

Jayadvaita’s attempt to present Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita As It Is is actually a criminal enterprise, because there is a wilful corruption of the original text with intention to cheat and to mislead.

This can easily be proven in a court of law, if it comes to that.

And all those who support him in full knowledge of the facts are of the same criminal nature.

Therefore, one should be very careful to be well informed before taking a side and THE GOOD PEOPLE WILL DEFINITELY SIDE AGAINST HIM, because his behaviour is that of a criminal, a traitor, an impersonalist (the worst calamity) and an imposter. He should JUST GO AWAY. GO AWAY Jayadvaita. Chello Jayadvaita, chello chello ……..

I have published a very long list of corruptions in my article “Hayagriva, Jayadvaita and supporters beware!!!”, available here:

and I shall keep adding up as I find them.

Thank you for your support.

The posting of IMPERSONALSIT, IMPOSTER and TRAITOR JAYADVAITA on Wikipedia is extremely revealing. IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER and TRAITOR JAYADVAITA.—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPOSTER, IMPERSONALIST AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA—–IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA. Please remember and chant this mantra: The IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND TRAITOR JAYADVAITA (editor of version 2 of Bhagavad Gita As It Is, falsely accepted as official version by ISKCON and originally produced by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the 700 verses themselves being spoken by Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Himself, on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra, about 150 air kilometres north of New Delhi.)

1. [He has been described as “one of ISKCON’s most independent-minded and respected thinkers.”] says Wikipedia. Unfortunately, “Most independent thinking ” represents his downfall. As far as ISKCON is concerned, all essential thinking and all structural thinking has been done by its Founder-Acarya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. WE NEED TO STRICTLY FOLLOW IN HIS FOOSTEPS. As far as respect is concerned, we gave him previously a little respect for certain improvements and expert renditions for example in Bhagavad Gita As It Is such as BGAII 3.34:
2. “There are principles to regulate attachment and aversion pertaining to the senses and their objects. One should not come under the control of such attachment and aversion, because they are stumbling blocks on the path of self-realization.”
3. BGAII Version 1 by Hayagriva being:
4. “Attraction and repulsion for sense objects are felt by the embodied beings, but one should not fall under the control of senses and sense objects because they are stumbling blocks on the path of self realisation.” (This first rendition even misses the definite articles THE for “senses” and for “sense objects”)
5. So version 2 by Jayadvaita represents a significant improvement over version 1 by Hayagriva. It is also elegantly formulated and inspired by Srila Prabhupada. So a plus for Jayadvaita. As version 3 we are however proposing as follows:
6. “There are principles to regulate attachment and aversion pertaining to the senses and their interaction with the sense objects. One should not fall under the control of the senses and their objects because that will prove to be a stumbling block on the path of self – realisation.” 
7. But for his betrayal of Srila Prabhupada AND attempted usurpation of Srila Prabhupada’s position by criminally changing certain passages of Bhagavad Gita As It Is to suit his own view and interests he deserves condemnation only. I believe in war time superior officers have a right and duty to summarily execute and shoot traitors with their hipside pistol on the spot without further trial. Please correct me if I am wrong. But that is old style war anyway. May be Ukraine -style war. At least that’s what we see in the movies also. War time is a great mess and chaos of death anyway. And I am not a war strategist either. But nowadays most of us would get killed instantly by the action of the atom bomb(s).
8. Please note that this constant numbering 2,3,4,5,6, 7 etc ….at the left of the page is an artificial imposition by WordPress. It is unwanted and not generated by the author of this article.  
10. 2) Wikipedia gives his “other name” as “Jay Israel”. His full name reveals indeed the community which lies closest to his heart. We may therefore call him narrow-minded and a non-Israel-exclusivist and perhaps even an Israel-fanatic.

But I am very sorry to announce to him and very happy to declare to everyone else in the world that ISKCON is meant for ALL COMMUNITIES OF THE WORLD, including Israel but not exclusively for Israel. Israel is NOT the centre of the world, neither is Jayadvaita. ISKCON is meant to become the centre of the world and Srila Prabhupada and Krishna Himself are to be its leaders.

I would also request him herewith to desist from trying to impose on everyone else the values of his own ethnicity by trying to usurp and subvert Srila Prabhupada’ s own position. I believe that Srila Prabhupada says that his own ethnicity is on the level of Vaisya’s, in other words the third mercantile division in society from top to bottom. He may have a fair go at trying to impose his own ethics values on everyone else and should be prepared for reactions accordingly. But to attempt to usurp and subvert Srila Prabhupada’s own position is a crime of lese-majesty. The Shah of Iran used to whip such offenders. Punitive action is certainly required.

Besides that, his is the platform of false ego par excellence. To misidentify with one’s ethnicity is the platform of false ego par excellence This is ahankara by excellence. That also shows how less advanced Jayadvaita is because he strongly identifies with his body and bodily origins. THAT MEANS IMPERSONALIST, IMPOSTER AND USURPER JAYADVAITA HAS NOT EVEN UNDERSTOOD THE VERY BASIC PRINCIPLE and TENETS OF THE KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS PHILOSOPHY, that we are not these bodies, and that we are spirit souls instead, parts and parcels of the Supreme Spirit or Supreme Brahman. Consequently he does not practice the very basic principles of Krishna consciousness and he may consequently GO AWAY and start his own movement, where he will be the worshiped leader. That is one of his options. The International Society for Jai Israel, will be a suitable and above all HONEST designation for his party. No more sly and cunning underhandedness! Amen, Om Tat Sat and Inch’ Allah.

Krishna consciousness is the post graduate study of and for all religions of the world, and that is why all religions CULMINATE IN GOD OR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS. Where is the difficulty? There is no difficulty. Let us unite the whole world under the banner of KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS and bring about real peace in the heart of all men, women and children. And let us not forget the animals either and be aware that Krishna gives license to eat plants only in BGAII 9.26.

1) Whereas WAVES OF KIRTAN #21 // BB Govinda Swami, Akincana Krishna, Ojasvi & Saci Suta – Summer Fest 2015 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VLi4s3SQ0c represents absolute top class inspiration and motivational material, and all glories to BB Govinda Swami!

2) Whereas this particular kirtan is strictly within the parameters of the Madhva-Gaudiya-Vaishnava Sampradaya, again all glories to the energetic and inspirational Krishna consciousness of BB Govinda Swami!!!

We propose herewith that this particular kirtan be adopted whence forward as the anthem of ISKCON.

Our apologies to the respected GBC members for this proposal not being calibrated to standard form, but the secretary of the GBC His Grace Ananda Tirtha SWAMI, in his great wisdom, has barred us access to the GBC by blocking email communication with this humble self. And we have pointed out this fact to to our GBC co-members, but no positive action has been taken. So really we have no other alternative, but this public display.

We have consequently no other means to make this public proposal. Again our humble apologies for this informal proposal. However rather than be concerned with formalities, it is sometimes better to just look at the actual value of the proposal and decide of its value, validity and interest.

The Australian Society for Krishna Culture (AUSKCULTURE soon to be known as ISKCULTURE- I for international) has already unanimously adopted this proposal and The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) may follow in its footsteps.

Now we need a flag because:

1.ISKCON is a transnational country.

2.ISKCON claim the status of a transnational country at United Nations, at other relevant bodies and everywhere else .

3.ISKCON is certainly a unique creation by a unique mind and individual, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada under the direct inspiration of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, the creator of the worlds without a creator Himself.

Is ISKCON the first transnational country in the history of the world?

So the question will be can AUSKCULTURE become a supra Australian mini-state as is the status of the Vatican in Italy all context-proportions respected ?

Meaning to say a piece of land or several pieces of land, where all Australian federal laws now and in the future will automatically apply provided there is no flagrant clash with the laws of Krishna or God consciousness. And where additional Krishna conscious laws such as

1. No illicit sex
2. No gambling
3. No meat fish or egg eating
4. No intoxication
5. and others may apply as well.
6. As you can see, we have no intention to secede from Australia
8. Again here these numbers 6,7,8 and 9 are super imposed by force and automatically by WordPress.com. They are not at all my doing. I wish WordPress either mind their own business or do their business properly. But this is an annoying inference in other people’s business.
9. The broader question will be:

Can ISKCON become a supra-national, global state with all lands owned by ISKCON or its subsidiaries forming “the Land of ISKCON” worldwide? A kind of a world-wide Vatican. It will be a fractured state, no doubt, and this cannot be avoided by the nature of its establishment and constitution. To the superficial eye it will appear that the Land of ISKCON will be formed by multiple embassies only, as many as ISKCON centres indeed. But I believe the benefits will outweigh by far the drawbacks.

Thank you.

Here is the betrayal sentence: “A Krsna conscious person does not make any distinction between species or castes.”

Of course in a higher sense this may also be correct, but this is not what Srila Prabhupada meant to say. Clearly Srila Prabhupada uses the words “caste system” and He means to say this: “A Krishna conscious person does not make any distinction of species or any distinction within the cast system.” Or in other words a Krishna conscious person does not accept the cast system and that is a very important distinction. These rascals are probably preparing to set up the anachronistic and crazy cast system. According to this statement, the caste system is against the principles of Krishna consciousness, and a lost cause as well. We noted that on the website of the federal ACNC or Australian Charities and Not-for-profits
Commission, the caste system is mentioned immediately under the rubric Hinduism. Another capital-letters-respecting-rendition for ACNC could be Australian Commission for Not-for-profits and Charities, another valid rendition for ACNC.:):):) We regret indeed that the author of this website immediately choose to mention the most negative aspect of Hinduism without probably being properly informed himself or herself for failing the mention the extraordinary philosophical heights achieved by the philosophers of this part of the world. Srila Prabhupada always insisted that Hindu is a foreign super-imposed term. India itself was dominated by foreigners for a long time.

“So this rendition is a betrayal of Srila Prabhupada. Therefore it is incorrect, whence “STUPID, ILL-FORMULATED BETRAYAL ” and that is exactly why these editors don’t like logicians, expunged the word “logicians” from the Bhagavad Gita 2.27 purport, itself, because logicians will bare their mean, underhand and wilful subversion of Srila Prabhupada. Therefore I am repeating again and again and following in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada in chastisement style, that these editors are rascals and those well informed individuals who agree with them and follow them are rascals too. They are not devotees. They are pseudo-devotees. They are pretenders. At the best they are immature devotees, nothing wrong with that as long as they keep on the path of progressive advancement and keep endeavouring for perfection. Who is interested in stagnation? No one! Please feel free to test them, when you meet them.

THERE CERTAINLY IS A CRIMINAL and ONGOING POISONING OF SRILA PRABHUPADA’S BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS and it’s world audience as well! OF THIS THERE IS NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER! AND WHY DOES THE GOVERNING BODY COMMISSION (GBC) OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS NOT TAKE SOME RESPONSIBLE ACTION ON THIS POINT???? THIS IS VERY SERIOUS MATTER!!! THIS IS VERY SERIOUS ISKCON BUSINESS. THIS IS MOST SERIOUS ISKCON BUSINESS.!!! Helloooooo are you sleeping on the wheel? Please watch for the crash.

The above example is only one of them among hundred others and perhaps thousands of them. Little by little they changed the whole Bhagavad Gita As It Is to their own agenda. Therefore I am saying for the time being we only have

number one

Free Wheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva

and number two

Free Wheeling Bhagavad Gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita

and we are in great and dire need of

Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder of the International Hare Krishna Movement, Founder of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust and Founder of the Back to Godhead Magazine.

This is not your ordinary kirtan. This is an extra-ordinary kirtan, meaning to say a kirtan outside the usual kirtan norms. At 7.12 minutes or so for example, it produces a fabulous rhythm that one cannot resist. One is literally forced to join. The pull of this kirtan is irresistible. What an incredible swing!!! And Maharaja goes into ecstasy. When no one or few only would turn up at kirtans, Srila Prabhupada used to console the devotees and say: “Did you not see the demigods like Lord Brahma and big personalities like Narada Muni attending the kirtan? Did you not see them?” I personally admit frankly that I don’t see them, but I trust the wise words and superior vision of my Spiritual Master and I am sure that this particular kirtan was also visited by great invisible personalities from the higher realm. Many people also under-assess themselves in the matter of mystic experience, especially in relation with the practice of Krishna consciousness which is so eeeeeeeasy!!! One can practice Krishna consciousness by eating, one can practice Krishna consciousness by singing and one can practice Krishna consciousness by dancing also. As Srila Prabhupada in His transcendental joly mood used to challenge: “Where is the difficulty?….. It is simply a transcendental recreational system.” Good kirtans attract and this is a very good kirtan. Sometimes, when I am out on book distribution, this particular kirtan, its melody and intensity automatically come to mind. This is, for me at least, the sign of a quality kirtan. And the solos and their tremolos are just catching us like a whirlwind and carry one to the eternal realms of ever blissfulness.. So is the enthusiasm of these Lithuanian devotees! All glories the Lithuanian Krishna Yatra!!! My brand new MacBook Pro, 16 inch, also helps as it produces superior sound.

The leader of this group is also an extra-ordinary devotee, outside the norms of ordinary devotional service, His Holiness BB Govinda Swami of USA. He is in the renounced order of life, a most prestigious position. Why prestigious? Because he is the controller of his senses. The senses do not control him. According to Bhagavad Gita, version 3, chapter 2, verse 58, the ideal of sense control is exhibited by the tortoise:

“One who is able to withdraw his senses from the sense objects, as the tortoise withdraws its limbs within the shell is to be understood as fixed up in his consciousness.”

In the purport, version 3, of the same verse Srila Prabhupada further explains:

“The test of a yogi, devotee, or self-realized soul is that he must be able to control the senses according to his plan and not be the servant of the senses and thus be directed by the dictation of the senses. That is the answer to the question as to how the yogi is situated. The senses are compared to venomous serpents and want to act very loosely, without any restriction. Like a snake charmer, the yogi, or the devotee must be very strong to ever control the serpents. The senses should never be allowed to act independently. There are many injunctions in the revealed scriptures and some of them are do-not’s and some of them are do’s. Unless one is able to follow the do’s and the do-not’s restricting oneself from sense enjoyment, it is not possible for one to fix the mind in Krishna consciousness. The best example set in here is the tortoise. The tortoise can at any moment wind up the business of the senses, and at any time it can exhibit the senses for a particular purpose. The senses of the Krishna conscious persons are used only for some particular purpose in the service of the Lord. Arjuna is being taught herewith to use his senses for the service of the Lord, and not use his senses for his own satisfaction. To keep the senses always in the service of the Lord is the example set by the analogy of the tortoise, who keeps the senses within. “

I met His Holiness some years ago at the New Govardhana, Murwillumbah, NSW, Festival Sacred Sound Kirtan Retreat, Australia, and we chatted. Then suddenly and bluntly, American style, he dropped an artillery shell so to say. He vibrated the following mantra: ” I am a dog”. To be blunt, uncompromising and forthright is often of advantage. One gets to the essence of things very quickly and clears up the matter in seconds. No time wasted here.

But the real question here is what did the HH BB Govinda Swami mean to say? Do we have to take him literally? Please be careful here and to take it literally would amount to a serious offence at the holy feet a truly modern saint. His statement can be interpreted in various ways. In any case, he certainly deserves our unreserved thousandfold dandavats or obeisances.

But what it really means is that in his great wisdom, the Swami is endeavouring to meticulously trying to keep his sense under control at every second of the day. There is a special designation for this type of life. I’ll have to research it. I suspect it can be found in the Nectar of Instruction. That’s why he is honoured as a Swami, the top most position in human society. We are constantly being bombarded by messages of sense gratification and we have to say NO. HH Kadamba Kanana Swami, now departed, summed it up once for me and I still thank him very much for his precious and kind association of a few seconds only (lava matra). His simple but powerful mantra was “I just say NO”. It truly represented a new hint how to say NO to the roaming mind and a new direction in my own life. On the basis of the input of the senses such as the eye and ears etc …the mind will make various suggestion for sense gratification and this is what HH Kadamba Kanana Swami says NO to. I may reveal here another intimate and glorious details about HH Kadamba Kanana Maharaja that at Brisbane Rathayatra, he once asked me to support him from under his arms. We were old acquaintances. He was so exhausted from global travel and Krishna service that he feared to collapse on the spot at any time. All glories to His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami and disciples, who sacrificed his everything for Krishna service !!! All glories to Saint Kadamba Kanana Swami!

Caitanya Caritamrta, Madhya 22.54

sadhu-sanga’, ‘sadhu-sanga’ — sarva-sastre kaya
lava-matra sadhu-sange sarva-siddhi haya

Word for word rendition

sadhu-sanga sadhu-sanga — association with pure devotees; sarva-sastre — all the revealed scriptures; kaya — say; lava-matra — even for a moment; sadhu-sange — by association with a devotee; sarva-siddhi — all success; haya — there is.

TRANSLATION

The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment’s association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success.

Melodious music attracts the mind, whether it be a Chinese military band as described in the previous posting or this wonderful Krishna kirtan. But what is the difference? Both make us feel happy and exhilarant and we may dance at the sound of both. So what is the difference? Can we perceive the difference? Is there a measuring machine that will indicate the difference: saying this is material sound and this is a spiritual sound, some kind of a Geiger counter for spiritual radiations? Empirical approach to spiritual matters is pretty much a hopeless endeavour because there is a fundamental incompatibility between spirit and matter . So no, there is no such machine! So how do we know what is what? We know from Shastra or Holy Scriptures such as Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Srimad Bhagavatam by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He is the bona fide and empowered world teacher in spiritual matters . We accept the authority of Shastra. So a little faith is required. Faith in the authenticity of Shastra and faith in Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada confirms this in BGAII Chapter 2 where He states that there is no other way to know about the soul but through Vedic scriptures. Instead of indulging in “the hidden delights” of the flesh, the wise cultivates the science of self realisation by realising a higher taste and is thus not interested in the realm of enjoyment of the materialists. Enjoying the urinals, or pleasure centred on the urinals, either lingam or yoni, yuck!!! (urinals in the sense that where urine comes from and not in the sense where urine is deposited as my Mac book Pro Oxford dictionary suggests.)

One such self realised soul is Yamunacarya.

{In reference to the low-grade happiness of sex life, Yamunacarya says in this connection:

yad-avadhi mama cetah krsna-padaravinde
nava-nava-rasa-dhamany udyatam rantum asit
tad-avadhi bata nari-sangame smaryamane
bhavati mukha-vikarah susthu nisthivanam ca

“Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Krsna, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste.” Yamunacarya had formerly been a great king who enjoyed sexual happiness in various ways, but since he later engaged himself in the service of the Lord, he enjoyed spiritual bliss and hated to think of sex life. If sexual thoughts came to him, he would spit with disgust.} Ref. VedaBase => Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.9.45
