Hari Sauri Re-writes History (Again)

ISKCON History Revisionist: Hari Sauri das

PADA: I am sorry to hear that Hari Sauri das (aka Denis Harrison) is still saying that me and Sulochana "left ISKCON" (blooped) in 1976. That is physically impossible -- since Sulochana was well known as a prominent poojari at the Bhaktivedanta Manor in 1977. And former Bhaktivedanta Manor folks like Ranchor, Rohinandan, Jaya Laxman, Bhajahari, Tribhanghananda, Vicitravirya, Ramadevi, -- even Sulochana's ex-wife Jamuna -- in sum hundreds of folks were there when me and Sulochana were both there in 1977. Sulochana was doing his poojari program while I was running the Spiritual Sky business, which is of course -- all documented.

When Srila Prabhupada came to UK in 1977, I personally offered my baby son at his feet. Yes really, my son has a UK birth certificate. What this proves is -- that Hari Sauri does not research his stories. How in the world (!!!) Hari Sauri could have missed the entire story of Sulochan leaving New Vrndavana in 1984 is beyond belief. How could Hari Sauri not know that both me and Sulochana were still part of ISKCON -- way AFTER -- 1976, when millions and millions of people read the newspaper accounts of what happened when me and Sulochana left -- much later?

In 1979 I was also challenging Jayatirtha while living in UK, and there are hundreds of eye-witnesses. How could I have been there challenging Jayatirtha in 1979, if I was out of ISKCON in 1976? In 1979 me and Sulochana were still associated together, and I advised him to NOT to move to New Vrndavana. In short, all kinds of people saw us associated together in England after 1976. The book "Monkey On A Stick" accurately portrays that we were together in England, although the book gives me a pen name for safety reasons. What is this really? Its another attempt at re-writing history in order to demonize us and Sulochana as some sort of "fringe cranks."

Of course demonizing us Vaishnavas has -- sometimes fatal -- results. Thus, after the Hari Sauri's ilk demonized us as "fringe cranks" in the early 1980s, this resulted in Sulochana being assassinated. Its amazing that after demonizing us, and getting Sulochana killed -- and getting me almost killed (I was being chased by goondas and had to be saved by the police) Hari Sauri's party still thinks they have done the right thing by demonizing us, when their party has the blood of Sulochana all over their hands by their demonizing us, and they are still at it? Not enough blood on their hands already?

Whatever me and Sulochana did in 1976, no one was hurt, nor -- banned, beaten, abused nor molested, nor killed? Yet in post-1977 under Hari Sauri's regime, thousands of us were banned, many were beaten, thousands of minors were molested, and some of us were killed. What does me and Sulochana's 1976 issue have to do with any of these Hari Sauri party's crimes? Its a smokescreen, another diversion.

Isn't Hari Sauri's program a MUCH bigger problem than whatever happened to us in 1976, when our program harmed not one hair on the head of one person? Me and Sulochana were never charged with any crimes, nor was any actual crime even mentioned. We were chastised for some sort of mis-understanding, but then we went back to doing our service in ISKCON as hundreds of people know very well, and is recorded as our mutual legal address records in the UK etc. Devotees were being chastised every day, this was a normal part of ISKCON at the time.

Very odd! Why would we even have to tell people that Sulochana was part of ISKCON after 1976 is beyond staggering the imagination, since millions and millions of people know -- that is NOT what happened. The mass of public ALL know that me and him were part of ISKCON way beyond 1976, BECAUSE this was all over the news media ALL OVER THE WORLD. Its amazing that even the karmi media still consults with me recently -- because they know the whole story, that me and Sulochana were connected after 1976. Even the karmis know the history of ISKCON better than Hari Sauri ever will.

This is just another smokescreen effort to hide the real history of Hari Sauri's regime and the real damage his regime has caused to thousands of people. For starters Hari Sauri was a huge supporter of the GBC's bogus gurus like Bhavananada. And he himself then became the grandiose "Prabhupada Kripa Maharaja." These folks were famous for flying around the world in Boeing Wide Body luxury flights -- a jet-set lifestyle.

For that matter -- a lot of them STILL ARE flying all over the world, sparing no expense on themselves. Sulochana used to call these people "The Gay MAFIA." Sulochana used to joke, some of them are gay, some of them are gangsters, some of them are both gay and gangsters, but when they are all combined together, we are in severe danger. Sulochana may have joked about this from time to time, but he also seriously thought he could die from opposing Hari Sauri's "Gay MAFIA," and he did die by opposing them.

Bhavananda used to lecture how he was flying everywhere to "find the right sized diamond studded writing pen." These people as a group were living like arrogant kings, with gold and diamond jewelry, a cadre of servants, eating huge feasts, riding around in fancy airplanes and luxury cars, wearing silken clothes, staying in luxury five star hotels, and so on and so forth. Bhavananda was also having homosexual affairs with taxi drivers in Vrndavana and other unspeakable escapades. He made a movie "Bhavananda does Hollywood" where he is featured driving to famous actors houses and showing off in his Cadillac convertible, which simply begs the question, why is Hari Sauri still a huge fan of Bhavananda even today?

And why are many of the GBC's group (and now their clones -- the Prahlad group) quoting folks like Hari Sauri as their authority, even today? How come these people never understood that homosexuals and fools are not messiahs, and we should not quote the handmaidens of these deviants as our history lesson authorities?

Hari Sauri was appointed as GBC of Australia in 1979 -- where he became the biggest cheer leader and right hand man to Bhavananda, and he still is Bhavananda's right hand man for that matter. Hari Sauri is STILL always seen at Mayapura with all these pals and chums, even now. Problem is, while these Hari Sauri ilk guys were living like The opulent Almighty King Dictators of Jagat, many of the children in their care were being deprived of basic material needs.

In sum, the Hari Sauri group was STEALING the money meant to care for the children so they could live like wealthy jet-set princes.

And of course there were other complaints of neglect and mistreatment from a number of the ex-children, including sexual abuse and so on. However, as these children suffered -- the Hari Sauri program was out there having a full tilt party mode going on. In sum, while these "leaders" and "gurus" were often eating like the giant hogs that they are, living like millionaire princes, meanwhile the children under their "watchful eye" were suffering terribly from neglect and abuse -- in large part because -- funds for the children's care was being SIPHONED OFF to support the opulent lifestyles of the Hari Sauri crowd. And when me and Sulochana addressed this issue, we were demonized in order to -- get us killed. And these Hari Sauri folks are the people who we should listen to as our authorities?

Anyway, what does any of this have to do with me and Sulochana in 1976? Hmm, well after especially 1984, when we began exposing that the Hari Sauri program is mistreating children, then the Hari Sauri program demonized us by citing an overblown and bogus account of the 1976 incident -- in order to have us killed, so Hari Sauri's party could save their real program -- a program of abuse of children, at least according to a stack of ex-children's accounts and legal affidavits.

We were not the only victims of course. Folks like for example Raghunanandan das were ALSO complaining that the GBC ilk like Hari Sauri were ganging up on him as well: "I was quite well know then, and I got preached against STRONGLY by all of the following: BS Damodar Maharaj, Bhakti Caru Maharaja, Surabhi Swami, (Hari Sauri aka) Prabhupada Kripa Swami, Tamal Krishna Goswami, and more ... the list is quite long. I went through political hell to be honest."



Hari Sauri promoting the GBC's gurus.

PADA: Right, anyone who protested the Hari Sauri child abuse infrastructure program was "treated like hell." Or killed. Exactly! Eventually, the child abuse issue had to go to court, because people like us who dissented could be targets of violence. There was simply too much danger in trying to expose this issue "in house," due to the violent fanaticism of the Hari Sauri group. In any case, Hari Sauri never consulted me, Sulochan, Mahasaumya, Jagajivana, Riktananda, or anyone else involved in the 1976 issue, for our side of the story. He never even asked the devotees in UK if we were living there etc. He just demonizes anyone who opposes his child abuse infrastructure bogus messiah's project.

Hari Sauri embellished and demonized us in the 1976 story for a reason, to make us seem super evil -- so he could get us killed, and he did get some of us killed. And that is also why GBC clones like the Sanat, Mukunda and Prahlad team are now siding with -- and thus citing Hari Sauri's version. Of course they are also siding with and citing another GBC apologist and Radhanath groupie -- Bhakta Das. And worse, they are now siding with and thus citing the Jayapataka / Radhanath / Dayarama court case to further demonize us. At any rate, the reason that Hari Sauri is still the big spokesman for the GBC is that he has been their biggest defender all along.

We are sorry to have to report this news, but people like Hari Sauri have been one of the BIG reasons so much corruption goes on in ISKCON. As soon as me and Sulochana tried to correct ANY problem, including the abuse problem, the Hari Sauri team helped the GBC goondas cut us down, and they did cut us down. The result was -- that the crimes and abuse continued and then they added "murders of dissenters" to the heap of garbage the Hari Sauri team has been shoveling into ISKCON. Without getting into too many more details here, the list of bogus things the Hari Sauri program does is almost endless, but includes burying deviants in the holy dham, claiming the parampara is contaminated with illicit sex, ok its going to take another 500 pages of writing to finish this part.

We'd like to end this story with a warning from Srila Prabhupada. He said that if anyone merely glares at a Vaishnava, he has to take birth as a vulture, where he will be glaring at others all day long. Hari Sauri's program has helped train thousands of people to glare at the Vaishnavas, and even, to want to drink the blood of the Vaishnavas by killing them. Sulochana used to often say, I would not trade billions of years of my past bad karma for a few seconds of their future karma. He is right. ys pd



Training people to glare at Vaishnavas, not a good occupation.
