Jewish Infiltration and Control of ISKCON

“Swami Prabhupada’s time has come to an end. Now it is time that ISKCON accepts the inevitable and embraces change in keeping with modernity which will ensure its survival and the true enlightenment of its members under our divinely inspired leadership.”

Thus ends the arrogant, revolting and blasphemous declaration of one “Rabbi Isaacs Schorr” that ISKCON is under the influence of the Jews’ “divinely inspired leadership” (gasp! gag!) The entire piece, titled “The Judaic Vaishnava” was posted in the Prabhupada Disciples Forum on PAMHO in 2012.

The “Rabbi” (I googled his name and nothing is returned, so one wonders exactly who this is, although “he?” does appear to be educated in theology as he claims, based on this piece) never uses the word “infiltrate” but makes it absolutely clear that Jews have taken over ISKCON, and have achieved control of it by dint of the fact that many, if not most, of the GBC are of Jewish descent. The question is whether they are acting in accordance with the scheme he reveals in this article. Going on just this final sentence we must admit that yes, judging by the results, they have, since ISKCON has indeed embraced the modernity. Of course I demonstrate in Divine Or Demoniac? that “keeping with modernity” is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Srila Prabhupada wanted for his society. Given the way the GBC are going is is clear that they also agree that “Swami Prabhupada’s time has come to an end” and it is now their time.

I have edited out most of this article as it is nothing more than the rant of a mad Jew who belittle’s Srila Prabhupada and actually believes the nonsense that this world is given to the Jews by “god.” I have included the last several pages that are pertinent to Jewish infiltration and influence in ISKCON. I have made some comments in bold and in brackets, and have italicized some parts. As you read this, you can easily see the influences he speaks of as described in it, in today’s ISKCON, giving some credence to his claims . If so, phalena parichyate, judge by the results – and realize that today’s ISKCON is NOT Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON.

Therefore the need to
Start the Hare Krishna Movement Again!

The Judaic Vaisnava (JuVai)

Preamble:

After being informed on the debate occurring in your ISKCON society, I decided to make our position clear regarding our influence within ISKCON. In order to enter into discussions on the Jewish influence in ISKCON one must first have a greater understanding of the Judaic belief system [running many pages that I have edited out]. Due to my contacts in the Hare Krishna Movement I have followed its progress for many years now and so I would like to explain some fundamental points to aid you in your spiritual quest for a higher consciousness. [He’s going to aid us?! He thinks he is in a superior position to Srila Prabhupada and is therefore rejected – we read this only to reveal that the influences he claims the Jews have in ISKCON, influences that contradict Srila Prabhupada, are apparent. Phalena parichyate.]

The Jewish Influence in ISKCON

Now I come to ISKCON – the Hare Krishna Movement. As you all know very well the Jewish people have had tremendous influence and impact upon ISKCON over the years. Most if not all the senior and well spoken of devotees have been from Jewish roots and have greatly expanded your movement into a worldwide enterprise. It now must be clear to you why we think and act in certain ways and so now you can better understand the changes that have been occurring around you as being for your own benefit and to lovingly bring you all to a higher consciousness.

Philosophical Similarities and Differences:

You also must understand that no matter where we are as a Jewish person, our inner nature has been ingrained in us for generations dating back to Abrahamic times. We are people of G-d who have a shared genetic lineage and purpose. Our purpose has been instilled into us for countless generations and therefore it is our duty and responsibility to provide authentic wisdom for the spiritual upliftment of mankind. G-d also implants in the heart of the more advanced Jew a piece of his nature or spark that makes him a leader of men. Our people who are in your movement have this spark called Meshach and so it is in their very nature to be leaders of men. You can see how we are not followers but leaders who have great understanding of G-d’s plan and how best to achieve his plan within your ISKCON.

We understand that Swami Prabhupada was a charismatic leader of men who used his considerable charisma to bring you all to another level of consciousness where you will be better able to accept him as your guru or spiritual leader. We are not concerned about this in anyway. We see this as being good and necessary for your spiritual growth and nourishment. He afforded you a higher platform in which to understand still higher truths. From this new platform you can critically analyze his message, learn from it and move on with your spiritual lives. [MOVE ON!? MOVE ON FROM THIS MORON!]

His presentation that G-dhead was anthropomorphic, knowable and reachable by both the gentile and Jew is not consistent with the understanding of G-d in our Abrahamic tradition and is in need of careful rational analysis and revision. His presentation that G-dhead was an actual person with human form, qualities and intimate relationships is not consistent with our Abrahamic tradition where G-dhead is the unknowable aspect of G-d which lies beyond his actions or emanations (as it were). The fact that no other religious tradition accepts this opinion and views it as an; unverifiable and highly imaginative mental construct rather than an authentic understanding of G-dhead, requires more investigation by the Academics in ISKCON. [! Are they doing that? I do not know for sure but it is best that someone keep an eye on them and see if they are.]

Secular Academia and its Relationship to ISKCON

When your Swami Prabhupada came to the US he held an unrealistic assumption that his religious tradition could acculturate with our deeply ingrained influence on western culture. As history attests Swami Prabhupada had to make many adjustments in an attempt to make his mission a success. As you can see soon after his demise his disciples and followers quickly embraced a more contemporary approach to the mission as a natural and realistic development of his mission. History also attests that this attempt to seek relevance in the modern context is proving highly successful for ISKCON. [Which is EXACTLY what I reveal and criticize as the purpose of destroying Srila Prabhupada’s mission in Divine Or Demoniac?]

Western Academia now has a very supportive and beneficial grip on ISKCON via various Academic bodies in both the US and England through their Theological or Hindu studies departments. Through our control of the most prestigious Universities in the US and England we liaise and educate ISKCON members (and other Religions) with Academia, Humanism, Liberalism, Feminism, Psychology and Counseling etc. We also teach its members the value of developing a more Pluralistic society where there can be harmony between not only the Secular State, specifically Academia, but also inter religious harmony. To this end we have embarked upon an educative process where we are breaking down ISKCON’s sectarian approach to the Hindu community. The Vaisnava tradition is typified by its intolerance, alienation and vilification of other schools of thought such as the Shankyaite School of whom most Hindus belong. {WRONG!] Via our ‘interfaith’ process [being carried out in ISKCON by the “leaders”] we intend to break down ISKCON’s sectarian approach to the Abrahamic Religions – Christian, Muslim and our own Jewish faith and begin open dialogue, liaison and ultimately integration with our Ancient Religious tradition.

The Hindu Religious tradition is more in line with the Diacritical Theological viewpoint and so we are finding that the practicing Hindu is more inclined to take advantage of our educative processes and Academic support and training than the ISKCON devotee. [Is this what is behind the Hinduisation of ISKCON (beyond money)? And come to think of it, aren’t Jews historically thought of as money-grubbers? Very different from Srila Prabhupada’s teaching us to always depend on Krishna (not Hindu’s) for all of our needs.] Although ISKCON is involved in nearly all of our Academic and Interfaith Projects they tend to be more discrete as your tradition is seen as being less tolerant of other belief systems, especially the Hindu Community. A case in point is your Oxford program in England which is administered by ISKCON devotees who must pose as Hindu’s in order to gain acceptance in the Academic fields. The sectarian aspect of ISKCON requires rigorous modification if it is to engage in more open and rational dialogue with other religious faiths at not only an Interfaith level but also at an Academic.

It is by no chance that the senior devotees of ISKCON have attended and obtained their Doctoral qualifications under the guidance of our members in these various teaching institutions. Nor is it by chance that ISKCON has gradually moved its adherents to Academia in the form of Theology, Humanistic Sciences and Services. We have also extensively educated ISKCON members with the need to be more ‘home based’ and less monastic in orientation. To this end we have emphasized Namahatta and deemphasized external preaching practices in order to enable devotees to be more contemplative in their practice of service to G-d. We have also educated your members to critically analyze and move away from the vertical authoritarian herd mentality process towards the lateral process where teacher and student are on the same platform in the service of G-d.

ISKCON’s Level of G-d Consciousness

[6 paragraphs of this section have been edited out. This is the concluding paragraph: ] By comparing the level of spiritual advancement of the Academic leaders in your movement with the above levels you can easily see that they are on the highest platform of spiritual advancement. . . [Here we find the “Rabbi” promoting ISKCON’s academic leaders – the very people who are deviating from Srila Prabhupada]

Critical Thinking V’s Naïve Realism

Swami Prabhupada was a powerful charismatic leader and he did well to wake people up from their apathy and G-dlessness. He allowed thousands of people to come to a higher level of consciousness, but his followers need to take the next step and keep in tune with truths that have both religious and academic support. [this is blasphemous to say that what Srila Prabhupada gave us in some way needs addition or alteration! The Absolute Truth cares nothing for so-called truths that have academic or scientific support! Srila Prabhupada repeatedly condemned these academics and scientists as mayayapahrita jnana – those whose knowledge is stolen by illusion. But! Indeed! This is what we see some of the leaders of ISKCON doing – currying favor with academics and other so-called religious leaders!] In the modern context we have brought G-d to the discussion table by promoting the Intelligent Design Model which is gaining more and more support by the Scientific Community. In order to bring G-d into the modern context we have to prove his existence to the rational scientist and to do that we must be able to provide a rational and analytical interpretation of our Scriptures that hold up to rigors of scientific enquiry and scrutiny. [When you see that the TOVP fails to accurately portray the cosmology of the 5th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam that Srila Prabhupada said was the VERY PURPOSE of the temple, you will know that the demons have indeed commandeered ISKCON.]

ISKCON leadership has recognized the limitations and restrictions of its philosophy and the needs of its followers to modernize in order for it to survive as a bona fide religion. What is left is for the adherents of ISKCON to fully accept this and move on with their devotional lives with the unshakable belief that its leadership has their best interests at heart and are working hard to make sure that ISKCON grows and develops into a true Religiously Brahmincal Vedic society. [emaphsis mine. Examining the speech and actions of the GBC demonstrates that this is true, hence the need to neglect them Srila Prabhupada exhorts us – upeksha – neglect the envious, and as concluded in my book Divine Or Demoniac?.]

The move to create academic diacritical theologians is now firmly established in ISKCON and their work is gaining increasing support and respect in both the academic world and the general ISKCON adherent. [Yes, this began with two Jews Hridayananda and Tamal, and has been followed by many GBC at this point. According to Krishna Kirti Prabhu, to be taken seriously by ISKCON’S leadership one must have a Ph.D. – (plow driver according to Srila Prabhupada) meaning the stamp of approval by atheistic academics.] ISKCON’s Academics are already publishing their material via our Academic institutions and although your Academics are still at an entrance level with regards to their published work we expect the standard to increase as they become more on par with other academics in the field of Divinity studies. If ISKCON is to survive as a authentic modern day Religion it will have to prove to the Academic community that it trains its adherents to be rational and logical thinkers as opposed to blind followers of tradition and religious doctrine who are capable of making the progressive step to creating a highly sophisticated institution on par with the modern world. If ISKCON is able to meet this challenge it will survive and will be seen as intelligent educated inquirers of the substantiated truth. If it fails to do so ISKCON devotees will be seen as naïve fools to the Academic and Religious world and fade into obscurity.

G-d’s Spiritual Spark in ISKCON’s Leadership

You have already observed the leadership, power and influence of our people in your movement [Based on the above we must agree.] and are beginning to see the superiority of their guidance and teachings [the astute devotees are very aware of these deviations!]. Please know the G-d of Israel has chosen, in his divine wisdom, to send his children to take birth in New York and other parts of the United States of America in order to assist you in your quest for higher truth and G-d realization so please avail yourself of their pure spiritual enlightenment.

The term demise when speaking of Swami Prabhupada’s death has been purposefully instilled into your vocabulary. Demise means: ‘the time when something ends’ and so let this be so. Swami Prabhupada’s time has come to an end. [Grrrr! Damn this fool – but beware that some of the Jewish leaders of ISKCON think this same way! For example, Hridayananda had the foolishness to state that “Srila Prabhupada has overstepped his authority.”] Now it is time that ISKCON accepts the inevitable and embraces change in keeping with modernity [which is exactly what I rail about in Divine Or Demoniac?] which will ensure its survival and the true enlightenment of its members under our divinely inspired leadership.

Shalom Aleichem.

Yours sincerely Rabbi Isaacs Schorr – Master of Theology
