 OppositeRule » upstart cult preaching   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If what you say is accurate, then the guru all the way in the left that invited Vakresvara Pandit to sit next to them, is the First Vice-Chairman of the GBC, his name is: Bhaktivaibhava swami, he is only second to the Chairman of the GBC, Devamrta swami.
As I said, they did a little ‘musical chairs’ sort-of thing when Radhanatha Swami came in, and so the order is different in the magazine from in my picture.
When Vakresvara was invited up, neither Radhanatha nor Bhakti Tirtha swamis were present, so it wasn’t as much an issue of making a big scene because the main program hadn’t really started yet.

 Bhakti Charu Swami bogus guru
Now Bhakti Caru Swami (BCS), who loves to paint himself as someone who is always promoting Srila Prabhupada, has launched an attack on grhastas (householders), sparing not even Srila Prabhupada, who was also married before he came to preach in the West.
Lo and behold, Sivarama Swami - the ‘Guru’ and GBC of Bhaktivedanta Manor - under whose leadership this unauthorised invitation to mayavadis and atheists was made - again received instant karma for disobeying Srila Prabhupada’s orders.
And Sivarama Swami omits to mention that as the GBC for the temple which hosted this event, he is indirectly the architect for this offence.)

 The Illustrious career of H.H. Devamrta Swami
This Swami Bhaktipada is, of course, Kirtanananda Swami, one of the original 11 self-authorised “Zonal Gurus” who was recently released from prison after serving 8 years on racketeering charges.
After New Vrindaban effectively began to collapse, Devamrta Swami made the career switch of returning to the ISKCON-GBC fold, where he later became a GBC voted-in Guru.
What is particularly shocking is the doubt the Swami casts on the legacy that Srila Prabhupada has left.

Those who normally go on Harinam were, apparently, tied up worshipping/venerating Devamrta Swami instead.
Sad to think that he has now become "elevated" to the position of being more important than the Harinam sankirtan.
So much for the sankirtan mission, and "empowered preachers" like Devamrta Swami, whose very presence causes the Harinam to be cancelled, and causes sankirtan devotees to run to the temple, out of obedience to him.
