100 Deviations: The Life and Teachings of His Holiness Sivarama Swami

Movement ISKCON Revival

Sinossi

This book continues our series detailing the teachings of those claiming to be successor diksa, or initiating, gurus to Srila Prabhupada, the original guru of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or Hare Krishna movement).
 
This series provides the viewpoints of those claiming to be Srila Prabhupada’s successors, via their own words. In this way, though ISKCON’s members may argue that “we do not accept the ISKCON Revival Movement and its ritvik philosophy”, they cannot argue that they refuse to accept the words emanating from the “lotus mouths” of persons whom they accept as being as good as God.
 
Though this book is titled 100 Deviations: The Life and Teachings of His Holiness Sivarama Swami, readers should note that it is not that we are alleging that the Swami is deviating. Rather, it is the statements and actions of Sivarama Swami documented in this book, which prove that the Swami is himself admitting he is deviating. Therefore, anyone upset or disturbed at the contents of this book must take up the matter with the source of the contents of this book, which is Sivarama Swami himself.
 
Since this book is Sivarama Swami presenting his own life and teachings in his own words, it can thus be considered as an “autobiography” of this ISKCON guru.
 
“How much respect is meant to be offered to Vaisnavas [...] we should be very careful in terms of our interpersonal dealings amongst Vaisnavas, particularly when we speak, because in Kali-yuga, especially in our sort of communication age, everyone is free to speak and say anything about anyone else. So, number one - we should not criticize others.”-  HH Sivarama Swami
 
“It is a matter of how to deal with, restrict, constrain JPS (Jayapataka Swami) in a way that does not break him, his disciples and also protects the Society from him […] From the evidence I would say that he is a sick person, obsessed, and that obsession makes lying or duplicitous behaviour fully reconcilable with service to Prabhupada and Krishna Consciousness.” -  HH Sivarama Swami

The Dark Side of Mankind

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
 
It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
 
The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. 
 
Welcome to the Dark Side.

Social Security Horror Stories -...

Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Terry Savage

Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
 
 
 
Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
 
 
 
Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
 
 
 
But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
 
 
 
We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.

Psychology and Human Nature: Why...

One Day University

Learn from award winning professors in this set of five talks originally delivered at One Day University.Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior, and psychologists are actively involved in studying and understanding mental processes, including brain functions, and behavior. In fact, the field of psychology is considered a "Hub Science" with strong connections to the medical sciences, social sciences, and education. Human nature is a related concept but nevertheless  a bit different, as it denotes the fundamental dispositions and characteristics—including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—that humans are said to have naturally.
