The Hare Krishna movement is currently wrestling with a 30-year-old case of one of its leaders, Lokanath Swami, molesting a child.
The Catholic Church has recently handled a 50-year-old case of one of their leaders, Cardinal McCarrick, molesting a minor.
There are similarities between the two cases:
- both cases involve molestation of a minor
- both cases span decades
- both cases involve a high-ranking spiritual leader
- both cases were covered up by other leaders in their organization
One glaring difference between the two cases though is that Cardinal McCarrick was removed from his position and is scheduled for arraignment in court September 3, 2021 in Dedham, Massachusetts.
...while Lokanath Swami is still being honored, worshiped, and revered as a spiritual leader in ISKCON.
Further information on the Cardinal McCarrick case:
[PADA: Good question SD Dasi! What did leaders like Bhakti Vikas swami (BVKS) know and when did he know it?
Bhakti Vikas Swami says in his video -- Srila Prabhupada gave us everything. OK he did, but then Bhakti Vikas swami came along and personally got rid of Srila Prabhupada's plan -- to give us everything (to worship pure devotees) -- and the BVKS program replaced the acharya's plan with their "new" BVKS plan -- to have the children worshiping deviants.
And now we have had the BVKS program "giving us everything," i.e. his bogus gurus who are illicit sex deviants, perverts, porno swamis, sex with cats, and orchestrators of banning, beating, molesting, suing and assassinating of Krishna's devotees. Shastra is very clear, false gurus, and their supporters, all go to hell. Of course, they cause hell for the innocent devotees, especially children, before they do down there.
Yep, Krishna and Srila Prabhupada forgot to give us their program of banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and murders, so the BVKS program came in to fix that problem! And then BVKS gave the world his -- worship of illicit sex with men, women and children "new gurus." That was BVKS's big plan to save the planet, to get everyone -- to get their children -- to worship BVKS's debauchees and deviants as their gurus.
Why does BVKS program want ISKCON's children to worship illicit sex with men, women and children as God's successors? Yep, that is the real question!
And then BVKS gives us his "biggest guru in India" who is evidently reading Krishna Book, while touching a child's crotch -- all at the same time. Who authorized BVKS to replace Srila Prabhupada's worship with worship of his illicit sex and molester messiahs, who are crotch grabbers of children, and who might also be having -- sex with cats?
What is the problem with worship of the bona fide acharya?
And why does BVKS call worship of the acharya "the bogus ritvik deviation"? We all know where he got that slogan from! BVKS is quoting DIRECT from his favorite child crotch grabbing guru, who says the same thing? Why is BVKS the parrot of the molester guru process? As soon as BVKS finds a nice child grabber guru, he promotes that person as his messiah, and worse, he directly quotes slogans from what his child grabber guru says! He is not quoting Srila Prabhupada, he is quoting them.
So that means BVKS is evidently KNOWINGLY promoting worshiping child crotch grabber gurus and not Srila Prabhupada, because he is quoting from these deviants and not Srila Prabhupada right out of the gate.
And! Why does BVKS think worship of his child grabber messiahs is a superior replacement to the worship of the acharya Srila Prabhupada, and thus the worship of the acharya has to be replaced with worship of his deviants?
Bhakti Vikas swami: "His followers were falling down, many fell away. They could not even maintain the basics."
OK so BVKS admits herein he knows that the rank and file Krishna devotees of ISKCON are not fit to be promoted as acharyas. That means he knew -- all along -- that his illicit sex acharyas program is bogus. Why does BVKS want your children to worship people who are falling down, who will fall away, and who often cannot even maintain the basics? That is their idea of God's messiahs?
As someone wrote to PADA, it is because these people are evil demons and they wanted to corrupt children by having them worship pedophiles as their acharyas. Well yup.
A person said they lived at Hrdayananda's house and he was not chanting his rounds, and he was watching TV. Jayapataka was being monitored for not chanting his rounds. Satsvarupa said chanting gave him a headache etc. How come BVKS made these people his messiahs from Vaikuntha?
Yes I agree, we need to compile a list: who knew what and when. Agreed. And this could be then added to a legal process like they are doing in the Church. Yep, I am for it! ys pd
===================
PADA: Institutional abuse starts at the top. "The fish rots from the head." If the leaders are molesters, or molester enablers and defenders, then that rot from the top will create a sort of free for all mood within the other levels of the society -- lead by such leaders. And it has. There is no protection from institutional abuse that is enabled and facilitated from the top -- until -- the leaders at the top are changed and the administration is changed to clearing this process out of its society. In short, we cannot protect the hens, when the fox is in charge of the hen house security department. The ISKCON leaders as a group opposed my efforts to clean this all up all along, and for the most part, they still do. ys pd
LD: When Lokanath followers say "we never knew about this" ... that is false. A friend challenged Lokanath at a festival. He denied the whole thing. Altogether false accusations! Then his violent goons chased my friend around and harassed him. They knew this issue was out there ... and they helped cover it up. They knew ...
Now! We finally know other big leaders like ... Amarendra, Mukunda swami, Sridhar swami, Ravindra Swarupa, Badrinarayana, Tamohara, Satsvarupa, Hrdayananda ... and maybe all of them ... seem to combine to cover up molesters posing as gurus. And as they are "forgiving and kind" to their Krishna Book reading ... but p*ssy grabbing gurus ... they never forgive us ... and want us to be part of ISKCON. The hypocrisy here is ... astonishing. Shocking!Too late. I agree with the lady who says she is no longer shocked and astonished at anything they are doing. My shock meter broke a long time ago. What would really shock me right now? Is ... if LNS stepped down and the GBC declared their their gurus stink like dog sh*t.
Of course ... that is probably not going to ever happen ... because they almost always defend their bad gurus to the bitter end ... no matter how bitter and bad the story ends. Instead of fixing the fire they made in their own movement ... they almost always want to pour more petrol on it. It would be most shocking if their mold was broken and they did something different. Same time ... this is good. They can no longer stay in denial. They made this problem ... and the ball is with them to either fix it ... or look like people who support pedophiles as their gurus. There is only one good option now.

M Dasi: Oh yeah. I'd like to know too ... who knew what and when. Right now they ALL know Lokanath is a child grabber. They ALL probably knew all sorts of things all along. Yes ... we should have a list ... to see who is implicated where and when. But how about right now?
ReplyDeleteThey ALL know about LNS right now. I'd like to see a legal case where we investigate ... who knew about all the abuse all along ... and who knew about Lokanath case 30 years ago ... and who is stalling for justice right now. I agree ... Bhakti Vikas swami has rejected his guru and he has become a disciple of the crotch grabbing sampradaya. That is why he argues with Sanaka Rsi. BVKS would not know what a Srila Prabhupada quote is -- if it was right in his face. He has decided to become a disciple of the crotch grabber guru sampradaya.
[PADA: Yes, as soon as BVKS finds a nice crotch grabbing guru program, he falls at their feet and starts licking their jackboots. And if his program is banning, beating, suing and killing us, that is an extra bonus for him, because he is getting rid of Srila Prabhupada worship as much as he can. Wait! Yamaraja has ZERO tolerance for BVKS illicit sex acharyas process. Banning, beating, molesting, suing and killing Vaishnavas takes one to the stone rollers at Yama's planet. That is why the great King says, I have no fear of death, or of any man, or of any weapon, but I DO fear being an offender to a Vaishnava. Satya is from a family of Krishna devotees, they are offenders to her family every day. ys pd]
G Dasa: That's why they go to prey for young innocent blood. They're the descendents of Cain. Cain not only killed Abel but drank his blood and ate his flesh. They're the "night of the living dead," but for real. All demons! Literal vampires! I 've seen them. Witches too. Here in Prabhupada`s movement. And they are the ones in control.
ReplyDelete[PADA: Well here we go, another happy customer of GBC's guru empire who is writing a great review of their process! Then, these leaders claim they are worried about the image of ISKCON. Nope, they are not, otherwise why would more and more people be saying Satanic child abuse is -- them?
The only good news is, the Hindus are gradually taking over most of ISKCON, and they will at least try to keep it in a better image. And they will -- especially once their bogus clowns like Lokanath are departed and out of the way. I know more than a few ex-kulis who are praying every day for them all to die as soon as possible. That means they are cursed people, and generally Yamaraja takes the curses of victims and creates justice for them.]
