ISKCON Russia: Lost Lives / Lost Archives

 

From Russia News:

Lost Lives. Lost archives.

In the USSR, there was a council for religious affairs, where the ISKCON archive in Russia was kept from the moment of Srila Prabhupada's arrival until the collapse of the USSR. It contained much of the information about the followers of ISKCON: who was originally recruited, all the way down to -- who was protesting bad management and ratting out fellow "devotees." And therefore -- who was being shunned, banned, purged out, and removed etc. 

There were biographies of key leaders, many of whom are now gurus and sannyasis. There was a record of various court cases, including criminal cases. There was a record of who came, who left. Police investigations and wiretapping, and everything in that process was also recorded. And there were volumes of cases. 

This archive ended up with Radha Damodar das, and he hid it at his home so almost no one knew about the archive. He received this archive in 1988 and studied it until his death. Then, the leaders of the Russian ISKCON found out that there is an archive located at the home of Radha Damodar. 

There is a version that his own wife, Bhakti-lata dasi, ratted out him to get some funds, because after the death of her husband, Bhakti-lata dasi received repairs in the apartment -- at the expense of Bhakti Vijnana swami. And she received other bonuses. 

When the leaders found out about the archive, Radha Damodar mysteriously dies? There is an article on this topic "How Radha Damodar was (mis) treated (killed)", but in short: he was put on home treatment and someone evidently poured in bicarbonate of soda intravenously. After his death, Bhakti Vijnana's people came to his home and took the archive and other materials. They allegedly took it to Yurlovo and gave it to to Krishnanandana, and then the archive mysteriously disappeared, according to available information. Then, the archive was apparently burned or disappeared by some means.

[PADA: Yes, this is one of the reasons so many devotees opposed the writings of me and Sulochana das. We were essentially making a written record of post-1978 ISKCON's various forms of cheating and exploiting the citizens, including child molesting, sexual predators in the guise of leaders, and a host of other crimes and scandals. And the leaders wanted all their dirty laundry hidden from the public, because it was bad for their exploiting business. So we became targets of violence and suppression. 

And! We are more than confident that same type problem exists in other countries, like Russia. And then there are the ladies making public protests in Mexico etc. That is also why the GBC types and or / Narayan Maharaja types / and their allies like Naranaryan das Visvakarma / Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur types (et al.) supported or wanted a petition to have PADA removed from the internet, claiming we were harming "the golden body of Srila Prahbupada." 

Yep, Sulochana said these guys have a "butt buggery program" and they think this is some wonderful heavenly atmosphere! Notice, the criminals and their allies always want to have the evidence hidden and suppressed. Basically, PADA news has been the main "archives" of all these events. No wonder the perps and their enablers are not happy with that!

OK really! What has been happening is, these folks have been angry that their anal busting of children "guru schools" have been exposed by PADA. And thus they are crying that their child exploiting program has been losing members left, right and center, as mortified parents pulled hundreds of children out of their program -- thanks to our exposing their odious process. As Sulochana also said, "they think that their anus busting sex pooja program -- is ISKCON." So we really had not many other options left, other than to expose them. 

In Russia it is evidently the same type thing. Dissent is suppressed, documents and testimony are hidden, and if possible destroyed, and so on. It is what gangster programs do all the time "hide the evidence." The good news is, more and more people are coming out and exposing them anyway. The other good news is, no one can "hide the evidence" from Lord Yamaraja, and thus these evil doers will have to be held accountable in one court -- or another. ys pd]
