**** Dasi: Someone who I thought was my friend asked me to delete comments made about her guru, Dhanurdhara Swami, by his victims, in relation to his history of child abuse. When I refused, she told me our friendship was “in the trash” and deleted me and my husband as FB friends. Her disregard and lack of compassion for what the victims, my friends, experienced as young boys, saddens me deeply.
For the record, I WILL NOT SILENCE THE VICTIMS. Here are a few testimonials of what the young boys endured while under the care of Dhanurdhara Swami:

[PADA: Yep, only the tip of the iceberg of the GBC's "guru school" program's long history of violence to children, and the GBC's complicit actions of supporting this guy, and / or his supporters or others like him. Of course GBC also has Prabhavishnu back to having his feet washed in some sort of guru pooja after he fell down, there are no standards on any issue apparently.
Then again, not only GBC ilk protected and facilitated these guys like Dhanurdar, but their cheer leaders like Bhakta das / Sanat (Steve Voith) / Mukunda das UK (Mark Whitely) / Prahlad das UK (Paul Coats) / Bhakta Peter / Dayalu Nitai's Hare Krishna Community Jaipur's clan / Janardan West Virginia / Pancali (NZ) and their pals also say to PADA, what is the problem with having children worship deviants, be beaten and molested, and some commit suicide after the fact?

Why are you placing objections to our favorite child molesting and child beating program? Why not have children continue to worship our lovely child beaters and / or child molesters as their swamis if not messiahs, what is wrong with that too? Why is PADA picking on these lovely and adorable people? Lets send PADA editor's photo to the molester messiah lover's club goondas, so we can get him killed and save our lovely child beating and molester messiah's agenda!
Worse! Why is PADA even addressing this issue? Worse, "PADA is a liar" for even representing the victims claims.
Yep! We need to have PADA kicked off the internet, so our favorite child molesting and child beating friends will have no opposition. Birds of the same feather, flop together as Sulochana said. Yes, its amazing how this agenda has had so much support. And then some people wonder why we have had to go to the police, media, courts and FBI for help to counter this agenda? Because without the help of these police types of folks, we would have been assassinated by this agenda ages ago.
And why does Hanuman Croatia say that Bhakti vikas swami is a great guy, when his sannyasa guru Jayapataka has been the ring leader of this operation in India? Oh boo hoo, PADA is disturbing our nice child beating, child molesting, child worship of sexual predators as their messiahs process. We got to cry now! Sheesh!
