Ex-Children of ISKCON Problem

From: Alachua Florida

Small children are completely dependent upon their mother’s care, who is always attentive to their every need, in every way, all the time. Many children of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples were obliged to make a great sacrifice when they were very young.

These children were asked to give up their mother’s constant loving care, for the benefit of the suffering conditioned souls in the world. Their mother’s were soldiers in Lord Caitanya’s army. Some were book distributors on the front lines of a great war against the material energy. Others were part of the intricate network that fueled, supported, and maintained the desire of Srila Prabhupada, to flood the earth with transcendental knowledge in the form of his books. Srila Prabhupada was the orchestrator of the greatest Brihat Mrdanga ever sounded. It’s tumultuous calls awakened the fortunate, to the opportunity of perfecting their lives.

These blessed children have now grown up, passing through severe battles of Maya’s attacks. Many of them have been wounded or permanently scarred. But most of them now walk through life with a treasure rarely possessed by anyone else in this world. Through all their years of painfully growing and trying to understand the unique circumstances of their births, a deep love and faith in Srila Prabhupada has blossomed.

In Alachua, Florida, a remote place far away from the Sridhama Mayapur, these beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Srila Prabhupada performed a yajna for the pleasure of the Lord and the welfare of all living entities. Through the strength of Srila Prabhupada’s love, they bonded together to execute a great sacrifice, "The Festival of the Holy Name". As the names of Krsna burst forth into song from the enraptured hearts of the devotees the transcendental sound vibration could be heard up to the heavens.

Thank-you to all who conceived of, organized and participated in this great yajna. You demonstrated to the world the glories of the Sankirtan Movement, by absorbing yourselves fully and using the precious gift you were given. You have made your lives successful by taking full shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s love. Thus, you have made our lives successful. Thank-you, our darling children. May you continue to perform the Yuga Dharma with determination, taking nourishment from Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental love, of which you are the rightful heirs. For you have made it clear to the world that Srila Prabhupada is always with you.

[PADA: OK what is STILL causing pain to a lot of these ex-children victims is -- seeing the same leaders that orchestrated the program that created all these abuses still being worshiped as their society's gurus, for example: Kirtanananda's dead carcass still being worshiped in a samadhi; The Mayapura / Jayapataka / Bhavananda / Hari Sauri / Satadhanya / Nitai chanda regime still in control of Mayapura; The Radhanath program taking the lead role of ISKCON, and he was Kirtanananda's right hand man -- now he is being viewed as the biggest ISKCON guru etc. That means the GBC still worships the same people who created, protected and covered up for the abuse culture. Until that changes -- a lot of these victims will never properly "heal," I know, I know a number of these victims. ys pd]
