THESE RUMOURS WERE FALSE.

ALTHOUGH THIEVING KING Andrew Marsh IS KEEPING A MUCH LOWER PROFILE, HE IS STILL DICTATOR.

Guru Aniruddha Das

Aniruddha in middle

## STARTLING rumours …
## EMERGING rumours …

He is ANIRUDDHA. He is Australia’s answer to dictators Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) and Mouammar Gaddafi (Libya).
If rumours are true, he has been given the boot!! Viva la revolution !!

Unconfirmed reports have the Hare Krishna guru Aniruddha leaving town – ON HIS OWN CHARIOT !!

EL PRESIDENTE ANIRUDDHA is TEMPLE President of Melbourne Hare Krishnas (ISKON hq)

He is also worldwide ‘diplomat’ for the Governing Board

See the PADA Website for a brief description of the man who (with wife Acintya Rupa) has allegedly overseen:

Temple mismanagement

Abbotsford Convent landlord to evict unique community restaurant

aogs - intersecting greed and religious belief — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 02:53:27 +0000

OK, this isn’t the cause of Pentes, but….

Talk of hypocrisy… the community turning against itself …

ABBOTSFORD CONVENT [wikipedia | OfficialWebsite] was a beautiful multi-building precinct by the Yarra River. The area was owned by Good Shepherd Sisters. Later, LaTrobe University (who used the area for nursing studies) sold out to developer Australand. (Where would the Westernised world be without the one-track-mindedne$$ of ‘em?? Maybe, we’d have LOCAL COMMUNITY and less corruptible policy makers !!)

LENTILS (Lentil As Anything) is an exciting & unique concept in the pretty boring city of Melbourne, southeastern Australia.

————————–

The 1990s saw HUGE community opposition to the Australand redevelopment plans. History & Culture were at stake. Beautiful buildings would be destroyed and some transformed – forever. Even moneyed people joined the campaign.

By a miracle, Abbotsford Convent, including the breathtaking 4-storey Nuns’ building, was SAVED from the wrecker.

Now the Convent management has turned anti-community. LENTILS MUST GO!! No reasons given.There was a doumentary The Naked Lentil. It was aired on SBS and raised some allegations AGAINST Lentils. For example, the fruit/veg supplier – Bruce – was owed $160,000. From our Sai Baba friends, we can report that Bruce is happy to supply the restaurant as he sees Lentils as PROMOTING VEGETARIANISM. In other words, this is mere whingeing by the Convent and its filmmaking friend.

aBBOTSFORD cONVENT.But was it a hatchet job?? It was made by a lady with links to the Convent management!!

LENTILS needs your support.

Top Australian Hare Krishna taken to Court for stealing

aogs - intersecting greed and religious belief — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 06:57:47 +0000

####### It’s a David and Goliath battle, we’re told. #######

Rumour is that David K, well-known Hare Krishna devotee, is about to serve Court documents on Melbourne Temple President ANIRUDDHA.

David, previously a lively, enthusiastic individual, is said to be crushed by his enduring experience of Temple mismanagement.

Court documents allege that long-time Temple President – and Deputy Member of the supreme ruling body - is a thief.

David K told insiders that he donated 3 cars to the Ashram/Temple. Aniruddha (pronounced ani-ruda) took them for his own use and later sale.

Aniruddha (a spiritual name) was previously an Australian Anglican. Married to Indian Acintya Rupa, he has been Temple President for over 28 years. Aniruddha is a top advisor to the supreme Hare Krishna authority, the Governing Body Commission based in Mayapur, India. (The Commissioner/Swamis/advisors are VERY frequent flyers, with Jayapataka Swami travelling FIRST CLASS to bless his many disciples - due to his OBESITY!!)

Aniruddha and wife have travelled to India a little too frequently in recent years. He (and his power) is closely protected by right-hand man Prahbu Das.

In Sanskrit (ancient Indian holy language), Aniruddha means “without control” and that appears to sum up the stranglehold/dictatorship he has on the Melbourne Temple and elsewhere. Because his is the dominant Australian Temple, Aniruddha is thought to know of other corrupt, wasteful and illegal practices of the Hare Krishnas in Australia and New Zealand, including the dubious ethics of Brisbane Hare ISKCON and the Food for Life programme (What exactly is FFL? A creation to raise money & avoid tax? Why no accountability?).

(Melbourne Temple was said to have been almost bankrupt 7 or 8 years ago. It may still be as no accounts are published. (It has been superficially rescued only by record Indian immigration into Melbourne.)

This is what the Anti-Defamation (of ISKCON founder) says of Aniruddha::

(Aniruddha, TP*)
This enigmatic suction pump has both hands in the till … A wage taking TP, he has caused the collapse of the Victorian gurukula [schooling system**]…. The farm under his management has also taken a nose dive … Adelaide Temple which is also a Melbourne responsibility, has been on the brink of disaster… A total “aham” [ego] freak, Aniruddha das would love to have his murti [sacred image] on the alter (sic)…
(Added emphasis - SOURCE)

* Temple President ** Controversial system of education. Court cases have sought damages for ‘interference’ to children. See ‘Issues within the Society’ (in Wikipedia). New Vrindavan (Murwillumbah northern NSW farm) has recently been given Government $ for its school – despite its ‘child loving’ past.

This is in reply to a Comment from John on http://aogs.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/australian-pentecostals-sleep-while-louisiana-burns/:

Thanks for the Comment.
It was weeks before the Louisiana explosion made anywhere like headlines in Australia. Australia had the bushfires – and rapid mobilisation of volunteers and emergency workers. Aren’t they worried about catastrophes outside Australian waters?? No, particularly when the oil industry is so powerful in the Australian political scene and its oil leaks, messes might be looked into. (We’re talking of huge offshore explorers like BHP, Exxon, and Woodside (34% owned by SHELL, of Southern Nigeria infamy – search ‘Ogoni People’) Some years ago, Christian leader Jim Wallis [author: God's Politics] visited Australia and asked “Where are the Martin Luther Kings (MLKs) today??” Well… Today’s Church leaders are politically weak as water. Steve Fielding and Fred Nile have tried to emulate MLK. The Pentecostals are too busy creating palaces.

Australian Pentecostals sleep while Louisiana burns

About 1 million litres PER DAY of crude oil are belching from an American oil drilling operation gone tragicallywrong. Eleven men out of 126 workers perished.

BP is the main owner (65%) of the Canyon oil well which exploded and sunk 40 miles offshore from the Louisiana coast. The Deepwater Horizon oil rig was owned by Transocean of Switzerland. The controversial Halliburton is said to share responsibility for the disaster.

Many thousands of volunteers and paid workers are frantically trying to stop the huge oil flows (more than 130 miles by 70 miles) from reaching the coast and causing yet another oil company catastrophe.

Ten wildlife refuges are being drenched with mankind’s fixation & lust for BLACK GOLD (OIL).

President Obama actually allowed oil drilling to move closer to shore.

But back in Australia, few are concerned. The newspapers don’t give their front pages to this global disaster.

How many Churches mentioned the Louisiana tragedy on Sunday – yet alone prayed. Bet your bottom greasy dollar that NO Pentecostal Churches (eg those in the mammoth Australian Christian Churches group) bothered to mention the crisis. That organisation is only interested in it’s own increasingly fat pockets.

Louisiana TV reporting on the CRISIS is at www.wafb.com

Comment by Ruby James on post “Brian Houston visits Planetshakers”

I thank God that there are people who still believe in repentance, humility, reverence, honesty. This prosperity gospel is so wicked, so destructive. And if you question it, you’re thrown out. Yes, once the gospel was free, but to find Christ cost you everything. Now, it just costs you money, but you don’t have to lay anything else at the altar of God according to them, you just have to focus on money. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Note, Ruby James is -NOT- referring to the man who sang a Hillsong/Planetshakers hit song when he and his allies in super-size-me ($$$) Church growth had cancer followed by amnesia.

Comment by billcnz on aogs post “Guglielmucci Youth Pastor at CLC Perth” (Mainly a post from GroupSects “Lie Detector..”)

If Planetshakers is a hedonistic mammon house like Brian Houston’s Hillsong empire, then the following critique may be helpful.

Hillsong church claims to represent Christianity.
Any Christian who decides that any of their practices or teachings contradict the Bible is OBLIGATED to state an objection, as otherwise they are being negligent to the Biblical command to be a WITNESS OF THE TRUTH.

Any displeased non Christian can also raise objections, but they should use the Bible as the basis of their complaint, as Hillsong may ignore criticism from “unbelievers”.
The Bible is the authority of Christianity, not church leaders. The Bible should be used to support critique of frauds.
The Bible can be searched online eg. http://www.biblegateway.com

Hillsong can easily be challenged by verses from search words like money, riches, greed, covet, immorality, etc.

There is also a good repository of authentic documentation concerning the truth behind the facades of Hillsong at http://www.christian-witness.org (use their search facility with words “Hillsong” and “Brian Houston”).

Obviously, criticising church systems interferes with unity, but unity is worthless unless it is with truth.

The Bible encourages discernment against falsehood, as otherwise Christians would be forced to unify with corruption when it infiltrated the church.

1 Thes 5:21-22 Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.

Here is my critique -

At Hillsong, salvation is indirectly offered for sale through participation in a church business system supervised by business managers called pastors.

Brian Houston is following and promoting a FALSE CHRIST of hedonism (worldly indulgence).

Good things in extreme, or in the wrong situation, become evil.

1 Tim 6:10 NIV “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Brian Houston runs a gigantic church business system using a marketing ploy that appears as “Come to church, we’ve got party music, attractive girls, and money everywhere”.

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
1 Thes 4:3-5 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God

In contrast, Brian Houston wrote a book “You need more money” and his wife Bobby “Kingdom women love sex”.

This is the seduction and worship of a false Christ who might be named “Mammon Jesus”.

Jesus Christ warned about false Christs (eg. Matt 24:24), so they can be named appropriately when they turn up.

Any unbiblical teaching about who Jesus Christ is, or what he wants us to do, creates a false Christ for people to follow.

Hillsong is built on the same premise as the Roman Catholic church institution, and others like it, that contradict the Bible:

The authority of men instead of the authority of the Bible.

The fear of men, instead of the fear of the Lord.

Prov 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a SNARE, but whoever trusts in the LORD is KEPT SAFE.

Prov 14:26-27 He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.

Where does the Hillsong money come from?

In this foul institution, faith blessing is PURCHASED WITH MONEY – no coins, only “the folding”, and credit cards.

This is a contradiction of the Bible and a manipulation of people, with potential for tremendous social harm.

In addition to the “faith money” there is all the merchandise – clothing, CD’s, DVD’s, books, seminars, etc. as well as income from all entities that Hillsong controls.
These are all tax free where they are registered under “not for profit” status.
It would also be worth knowing if they are siphoning off any government funds via social projects they create through their church entities.

The large Hillsong churches may be nothing more than entertainment factories that promote materialism to distract Christians from what they should be doing.

Luke 4:5-7 shows the Devil offering Jesus Christ worldly kingdoms in exchange for worship: “The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.”

Hillsong must be partnering with the Devil through their love of money and the building of worldly kingdoms.

Jesus Christ kicked the money enterprises out of the temple “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” (John 2:16 NKJV)

Matthew 6:24 NIV “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”

Christians should discern and reject fraudulent church ministries:

2 Cor 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

Their end will be what their actions deserve!

1 Tim 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

What is Tanya Levin, ex-Hillsong, up to???

aogs - intersecting greed and religious belief — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:23:36 +0000

Tanya Levin grew up in the land of Hillsong. (The ‘Hills” comes from Baulkham Hills.) Tanya has exposed and hopefully changed some Hillsong practices with her investigative reporting on what is now one of the biggest Christian empires in the world.

Tanya has written the “People in Glass Houses” expose.
Purchase the book at Black Inc Books.

One hopes Brian and the Houston dynasty have learned from the collapse of the Bakker empire (Jimmy and Tammy Faye and their grand ‘Heritage USA‘ plans.) Full steam ahead!!!
