Marshal Petain and Jayapataka Swami

Dayaram and Varada Krishna, hiding behind the thin veil of “Bangalore Correspondent”, come out with this interesting statement:“Madhu Pandit trots out the letter from Jayapataka Swami as a shield to hide behind, but it is Madhu Pandit’s lies, deceit, frauds, and criminal activities that took place after this time that we are concerned about, so he should stop resting on his laurels.

In World War I, Marshal Petain was hailed in France as a war hero,but in World War II he was denounced as a traitor who had collaborated with the Nazis. Similar is the condition of Madhu Pandit.” Marshal Petain was hailed by whom as a hero – ordinary conditioned souls, subject to the four defects, one of which is to commit mistakes. Now in the case of Madhu Pandit Prabhu, who hailed him as a hero – the “Bangalore Correspondent’s” (Dayaram’s & Varada Krishna’s) own diksha guru, Jayapataka Swami, who is supposed to be a pure devotee, sum total of demigods, trikalajna, representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, saksad haritvena guru.

In other words, Varada Krishna and Dayaram are comparing their spiritual master, who is going to take them back to Godhead and who is in direct, uninterrupted communion with Lord Krishna, to ordinary millions of karmis who are subject to the four defects. Does this mean that whatever Jayapataka swami says need not be accurate but can be riddled with mistakes? If so, then should we not consider the Swami’s assertion that he is a spiritual master also to be a mistake, which maybe, some day, his faithful disciples like Varada Krishna and Dayaram will discover?

Secondly, Marshal Petain was a traitor. The comparison with Madhu Pandit Prabhu does have some similarity, to be fair with Varada Krishna and Dayaram, aka Bangalore Correspondent.

Madhu Pandit Prabhu pulled the plug on the ISKCON gurus. So he is a traitor as far as they are concerned. But there the similarity ends. Marshal did his act of treachery for personal gain.

Madhu Pandit Prabhu eschewed his allegiance to Jayapataka Swami, who doesn’t even chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra every day, for Srila Prabhupada.

A more appropriate comparison to Madhu Pandit Prabhu can be obtained in the Srimad Bhagavatam, if Varada Krishna and Dayaram, aka Bangalore Correspondent, care to take the time to read Srila Prabhupada’s books instead of going through mundane history about World

War heroes and traitors. They should read the 8th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, relating to the pastimes of Sri Vamanadeva. There they will find the pastime of Bali Maharaj, who rejected his guru for going against sastra. Madhu Pandit Prabhu & the ISKCON Bangalore devotees followed in the footsteps of the Mahajana, Bali Maharaj, and rejected Jayapataka Swami as well as the entire bunch of ISKCON gurus for their going against Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.

No need of a skewed comparison with an unknown karmi, Marshal Petain.
