Thankyou dear Harinama ,I am a survivor of trauma based mind control and abuse both inside and outside ISKCON. Healing from this kind of abuse leaves impressions that cannot be easily overcome. I have been trying to follow my devotional path for the past 35 years and I struggle every day with extreme physical pain and complex ptsd. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and so courageously encouraging us all to continue our devotional path. 🙏🥰

Thank-you very much for your comment. It is not easy, as you know, to speak the truth, as so many with something to hide will attack. It takes courage to face these dark places within. Knowing we are the soul and that nothing they did could truly hurt "us" who are all purely spiritual in nature is a solid truth we all hold onto when it becomes very difficult.

Thank you for putting this online. I grew up in a family with 2 hippie like parents. I saw a lot of violence and intoxication grewing up, which made me collapse mentally very early in life. I am still recovering from MK-Ultra and torture outside of ISKCON. The temples in Belgium that I visited are rather still pure. I visited Radhadesh a few times and enjoyed my stay there. Srila Prabhupada made it possible for me to upgrade the lifestyle of the hippies beyond intoxication with succes. I am still trying to figure out in the original texts wether or not the 10 000 year golden age started immeditately after the passing of Lord Krishna or it is still yet to come. Thanks for putting your help online. Hare Krishna. Om Tat Sat 🍀

Thank-you Krisof for your comment and question. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the Lord Himself, inaugurated the Golden Age when He appeared on this earth 500 yrs. ago in West Bengal. His appearance, though called the covered avatar, is actually mentioned in the ancient Vedic scriptures, but was not so apparent to everyone. It was He who gave us the unparalleled practice of the congregational chanting of His own sweet Holy Names. We are in a turbulent transition time, but the Lord Himself predicted in every town and village His Name would be known. So by His desire this must come to pass. Through this congregational chanting, which is destined to sweep the world, people of every faith, social caste and color will drop their differences and chant together in love and ecstacy. There will be a reinstating world wide of the Vedic culture, which was the original culture on the planet. This will stop the progress of this iron age of quarrel and hypocrisy we are now in called the age of Kali. There will be a 10,000 year period where all souls with any degree of piety will have the chance to make good progress for getting out of this place of birth and death and going back Home, back to Godhead. After that it will become very terrible when the age of Kali resumes and extremely difficult to make spiritual progress because the atmosphere will become increasingly vicious, far worse than now.

@harinamadasi8911 Thank you for the comment. I've got shaktipat initiation by Swami Nardanand and Gabriel Cousens. My guru (Swami Nardanand) said that Lord Caitanya got shaktipat as well. Bot Nardanand and Dr Cousens' tradition goes back to Lord Shiva.
