As a matter of community concern the CPO is issuing the following statement:
As a matter of community concern the CPO is issuing the following statement:
Dhanurdhara Swami recently requested that the GBC consider how he could reenter ISKCON. In 2006 Dhanurdhara Swami chose to give his official resignation from ISKCON rather than comply with the requirements that would allow him to remain in ISKCON. In particular the ISKCON law which states:
"Whenever the ISKCON Central Office of Child Protection rules that an offense is such as to restrict a person from serving in ISKCON in positions of leadership (including but not limited to offices of GBC, minister, zonal secretary or temple officer), the restriction must include the position of initiating guru. This restriction shall apply to all previous and future decisions of the Central Office of Child Protection."
After considering Dhanurdhara Swami's recent request, ISKCON laws, the CPO ruling, as well as the feelings of those directly impacted by Dhanurdhara's treatment of children in gurukula, the GBC of North America voted to uphold Dhanurdhara Swami's resignation from ISKCON.
Dhanurdhara Swami remains outside of ISKCON North America. His choice to live as a sannyasi and a guru is his own independent choice.
To clarify, Dhanurdhara Swami is allowed to visit ISKCON centers that allow him to do so.

[PADA: Umm, what? So the ISKCON temple people who want to entertain a known child abuser are allowed to do so, because its their independent choice? Then where is the power of the Governing Body Commission (GBC) administration? The GBC's women guru declaration is basically the same thing, the temples that want to recognize their own "particular location" woman guru can do so, even if the other temples do not recognize this person. Then where is the unified policy for the whole society, if anyone or any temple who wants to be independent -- can be?]
CPO Guidelines state, "No person, who has been determined to have engaged in severe maltreatment of children, will be allowed to remain active in a position of authority or trust within ISKCON, this includes activities such as leading kirtan, giving class, speaking publicly at any ISKCON event or representing ISKCON in official capacities. This sanction is to avert future threats to children and to the society as well as to honor and respect those who have been impacted by abuse."
As with all CPO case decisions, the restrictions stated are a minimum requirement for all ISKCON related centers or programs. Any temple or program is free to totally restrict the individual.
[PADA: OK so we are supposed to follow the GBC's rules and mandates, unless we are an independent ISKCON temple -- and then the rules do not apply to us. So why make any rules at all?]

The child beater association of friends in high places.
Supported him the whole time, younger and older pics.

More friends in high places.
And so on and so forth!
So the GBC basically does not have to follow the CPO rules if they don't feel like it.
Then they can make women gurus if they feel like it.
Then they can declare that acharyas are often debauchees if they feel like it.
Then they can bury pedophiles in the dham if they feel like it.
Then they can bring back Krishna West into ISKCON. AND SO ON!
So there is no structure here, its whatever people feel like doing, even if it violates their own rules? The only rule they do enforce uniformly is, our Prabhupadanugas are banned. They are unified on that principle. ys pd

R Dasi. This campaign is working. I overheard some of the devotees in Hawaii complaining that we cannot get on Facebook without seeing this Dhanurdara campaign, which means you're all doing a GREAT job!!!!!
ReplyDelete[PADA: Yep, we are also getting more and more private messages that are agreeing that the GBC is very much compromised with the child abuse, women abuse, devotee abuse agenda. People are waking up, better late than never. ys pd]
