An interesting letter about Ramesvara and Radhanath from Jyotirdhama dasa, former New Vrindaban Director of Telecommunications:
Hare Krishna Hrishikesh prabhu. Good morning. I just want to tell about an exchange I had with Ramesvara on FaceBook yesterday, Saturday, August 11, 2019. Jayamadhava posted a comment criticizing Mahatma for a flyer featuring him (Mahatma).
Hare Krishna Hrishikesh prabhu. Good morning. I just want to tell about an exchange I had with Ramesvara on FaceBook yesterday, Saturday, August 11, 2019. Jayamadhava posted a comment criticizing Mahatma for a flyer featuring him (Mahatma).
Ramesvara (Robert Grant) came on and scolded Jayamadhava for fault finding. I commented that if he (Ramesvara) would stop lying about Sulochana's murder then we wouldn't have to point out behavior such as his. Robert Grant responded with a long comment about how wrong it was for me to connect him to such a horrendous crime when he was never even questioned by law enforcement about it. He also said that I should not believe everything I read in some book. I have to tell you that I've been waiting for one of my "partners in crime" to challenge me about what I know.
I responded that I know he is lying because I was on the New Vrindaban switchboard when Radhanath Swami flew to Los Angeles to get Ramesvara's help in the plot to murder Sulochan dasa. In my comment on Facebook, I told Robert Grant that I was also involved in the murder plot, but I also was never questioned. There was no response from him, and all related comments were quickly deleted. I never heard back from him.
The thing is, for the last few weeks I have been thinking about Radhanath Swami's trip to Los Angeles. I don't remember why I was thinking about it, but I began remembering that when Radhanath Swami went to Los Angeles, Gaura Shakti told me about the trip and wanted me to stay close by the switchboard and watch for incoming calls from Radhanath Swami.
I couldn't tell our hired non-devotee switchboard operator, Bonnie, any of this, and she did not like me breathing down her neck and picking up incoming calls when she was working. I remember that I was hovering in the office near the switchboard when Kuladri called me. He told me that he was expecting an important call from Radhanath Swami and what extensions he (Kuladri) would be near during the day. He stressed that it was very important that he got that call. I relayed the info to Bonnie and that is when she figured out that Radhanath Swami was involved in the plot.
We did handle some calls back and forth between Los Angeles and New Vrindaban that day. Bonnie handled the calls but I was right there watching. I would fill in during her lunch and breaks so I think I handled some calls but Bonnie caught the big one from Radhanath Swami. I've just been remembering the details of that day, so when Robert Grant said he was not involved on FaceBook, I was primed.
Again, your book, "Killing For Krishna," provides a framework for my memories because if I hadn't read about it in your book; I would have forgotten this ever happened.
Yours, Jyotirdhama dasa
