Iskcon North America Releases Statement on Domestic Abuse
Mr. Anuttama das (Geoffrey Walker) makes false statements on this report, knowing full well he is directly involved in harming me and directly contributed to my suffering. He masterminded the covering up of the [already] covered up abuses against me at Iskcon Potomac, and the cover up involves the North American GBC as well.
I also take note of the report and statements that there is no acknowledgment by the North American GBC of the domestic violence perpetrated against the Gurukula kids (now adults) and the current and now present kids whom might be abused -- and / or their families, and how this is all connected, how they all are impacted by this suffering. Cult behavior and abuses and domestic violence abuses are dangerous and similar.

I know, because suffered it, I live it and I am still traumatized by it ..caused by Ifast and Iskcon identified members. I inform you that as per my above subject line, that International Institute for Applied Spiritual Technology [IFAST] indentified members and leaders based in Silverspring, Maryland, USA and Iskcon Potomac identified residents and members, Anuttama das (my GBC member and my then acting temple President of Iskcon Potomac) and others I may not know of yet, have ALL been involved in directly harming me and my very life.
Both organizations have been informed that my story will be told and investigated. My abusers will be held to the law for my suffering, and it does not matter how wealthy they are, or how esteemed are their positions, or their rank and file status within the hierarchy of Ifast and Iskcon. They must be held to the law and are not immune to abusing its members.
They intentionally and willfully harmed me, an innocent housewife. Every single human being has different experiences in life and human beings experience abuses of all descriptions in life. It is not any different for devotees and members of Ifast and Iskcon.
I will use my story to do good in the world and to tell the United Nations what Ifast and Iskcon did to me and my family .
Thank you for reading my email.

[PADA: Why do the victims of abuses in ISKCON have to go to the police, courts, lawyers, media, United Nations, or forums for dissenters? Why doesn't ISKCON have open istagosthis where troubles are ironed out when they originally sprout in the first place, so they can be weeded out before they turn into nightmare situations later on?
There is no good forum for giving feedback / resolution for problems, and this is making the problems get seeded, take root, get fostered, festered, and then get substantially worse -- especially when they whole plan is to cover up the problems rather than deal with them. Anyway, the good news is, more people are coming out of the woodwork to expose these molester messiah lovers and their entourage. ys pd]

NOTICE HOW ISKCON LEADERS DEFLECT VICTIM's COMPLAINTS:
Devotee: Why are there so many conflicting ideas for the ISKCON movement?
Gour Govinda Swami: Bah, stop it! There is no conflict. No conflict. No conflict. You are a mad fellow. There is no conflict, no confusion. It is all clear, bābā. Conflict and confusion are within you. Therefore you see conflict.
[PADA: This is how violent pedophile cults deflect complaints. There is no problem, moreover you are the problem. In fact, our program of banning, beating, molesting, lawsuits and a few assassinations going on, is all your pipe dream. Everything is fine! That makes you a mad fool who is making all this up. There is no problem -- in fact you are the problem!]
GGM: If you put on yellow glasses, everything looks yellow. A man sees the reflection of his mind. In your mind there is conflict and confusion, and therefore you see it outside.
[PADA: Yep, sure our children are being starved, beaten, molested and some are committing suicide, but that is not really happening, it is all in your mind!]
When Hanuman went to Ravana’s capital Lanka, he was extremely angry because the demon Ravana had kidnapped his master’s wife, Sita. Out of anger, Hanuman’s eyes were red hot. Ravana had kept Sita in a very lovely garden, called the Ashok Van. Aśoka means, “no lamentation”. That garden was extremely beautiful. Ravan had brought so many varieties of nice flowers, fruits, and birds from the heavenly planets. In that garden were many wonderful ponds and springs. Hanuman went there, but he saw no variety. He saw everything red, because anger was inside him. His eyes were red hot. Do you understand? Are your doubts clear?
[PADA: Right, when we see devotees being banned, beaten, sued, molested and assassinated, we should not be angry. We should be like GGM, happy campers, who go to Mayapur to pat all of the orchestrators of the abuse on the back, and to demand that the GBC keep Tamal in office, they guy who had to be sued for the mass molesting.]
Devotee: No.
Gour Govinda Swami: No? Why not?
Gour Govinda Swami: No? Why not?
[PADA: Yep, not clear at all. We should not be angry when Krishna's children are being starved, beaten, molested and treated worse than dogs? Why not?]
Devotee: For instance, when Srila Prabhupada was directly present, everything in ISKCON was under his direction.
Gour Govinda Swami: He is still directing, but you can’t see it.
[PADA: Srila Prabhupada is directing the banning, beating, suing, molesting and assassinations?]
You have no vision. It will take time for you to understand. Be patient and wait, wait, wait. All these problems are inside you. The conflict is within you. Therefore you see such things outside.
— From a lecture in Bhubaneswar on 23 March 1993.
[PADA: Yep, you are the problem. Typical cult cover up technique. 1993 is the year GGM stood up at the GBC meeting and demanded they keep Tamal as a guru. The founder father of the pedophile acharyas program has to stay, we have to go. Told ya! ys pd]

LW: My experience exactly. Mislead, omit, obfuscate, bluster, deny, deflect, attack, apologize while implying that they have done nothing wrong — the GBC's master blueprint for dealing with a crisis. It almost always never begins, and rarely ends with, simply telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteThat approach worked for them for years. Maybe now it won't last forever. Gaura Govinda Maharaja wants us to think we are crazy, because he is an enabler and apologist for them. He has had no idea what will happen to people who cover up for predator gurus.
Oh I have to correct myself. Now he knows. No doubt he has gone to the planets where people like him ... who deflect and cover up for child molesting guru systems ... will have to pay for their sins. I cannot hardly think of a worse sin than being the bluff and bluster poster boy for a child abuse bogus guru cult, like Gaura Govinda Maharaja. He was always laughing and joking ... while we and the children were getting the stuffing pounded out of us. He is not joking now ... that I can guarantee. This is all catching up to them here and in their next life.
