Please accept my respectful obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
My name is P das initiated in 1991, Gaur Purnima Mayapur.
Last communication I had with you was in 2008 when you were visiting Thailand and I was involved in the preaching here. My reason of sending you this email is to officially resign as your disciple for various reasons.
Number 1 reason: we recently discover the outcome of Bhakti Vidya Purna swami role in the Gurukul whom I had originally attended back in 19** to 19**.
Arnidesh Vapu das (Gurukul Maharaja) had been involved in child abuse and supported Child sexual abusers during his leading regimen in the Gurukul, the time lapse is 40 years … that means 4 generations of exploiting children and as a result many of them are struggling in life ... including my self.
Child abuse either directly or indirectly considered a grievous crime in any part of the world but only in ISKCON is to be taken lightly ... which is why you still see child abusers wandering around in the Mayapur complex of the most Important ISKCON project of the world, ISKCON Mayapur, in which You were and are the main GBC member. (Sathadhanya das, Murari Gupta, Bhavananda das).
You supported this child abuser in Mayapur (Gurukul Maharaja) you knew what was going on in Mayapur, you did nothing to prevent it and only recently there is a so call punishment done to him, however the damage is already done to the many victims of my generation, and numbers of previous to my generation, and after my generation.
Our parents were told "your children are taken care at the Gurukul." You met my Mother ****** Dasi several times. You took letters from her to us and as she was fully rendering service in ISKCON away from Mayapur. You gave her false promises that all was okay in Mayapur Gurukul. How do you think she feels now that all the news have come out that the Gurukul was handle by sex predator and the GBC did nothing to prevent it?
This action done by the full GBC including your self is not to be forgiven and taken lightly so my first step here is to disconnect my self from you as a disciple and the rest will be seen by the rest of us to claim a legal action towards the complete GBC who had destroy a complete generation of Gurukulis since the time Srila Prabhupada left this world till recently.
The whole GBC has blood in their hands for the life of Srila Prabhupada's second generation ... and beyond ... in which all of you destroyed them and did not take care of them as it was supposed to be done and as it was instructed by Srila Prabhupada. As you once mention to us in a gurukul in ******** that children should be taken care of as Deities (case of a baby that had damaged his cheek in an accident and you were upset about the carelessness of her mother).
Without further words I hope that Krsna has mercy on your soul,
Kind Regards

MD: Thank you! My deepest sympathies are with you and all your fellow generations, as well as for all the tormented parents riddled with guilt for trusting the GBC leadership telling them to send their children away. Thank you for speaking up! It can be part of the healing process.
ReplyDeleteIf your speaking out encourages others to do so it will be glorious!
N Dasi: Hello you are very brave! Your testimony is overwhelming.
I'm really sorry for all the harm you've been done. Of course it's big sh*t that must be judged as a crime. Not blah blah zero tolerance.
Action is just point.
TP: Maybe it's time to finally do something. We are expecting everything to be rectified from the GBC level. Why? ISKCON devotees do not understand that they have the upper hand. If suddenly a major portion of disciples of any of the obviously criminal "gurus" just left them, we would become a much better society in no time!
This is a criminal act for which you'd go in prison for life in any normal society. This would be the proper dharma in this situation.
Stop following such "gurus". Reject them. It's the only sane thing to do. They can not give you bhakti-prema, not even a liberation from this material world. It's just a bogus show, and a very bad one!
CM: Yes, that there are individuals who abuse children is not the real scandal here. What's eggregious is the depths to the conspiracy of the institution, carried over multiple decades, to minimize and cover up those abuses. That in turn allowed abusers to continue in their roles and priviledges, often times with the encouragement - and support! - of those in ISKCON's highest leadership roles.
