Fasting from grains and beans.

Sri Yudhisthira Maharaja said, "Oh Janardana, what is the name of the Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight (sukla paksha) of the month of Vaisakha (April-May)?

What is the process for observing it properly? Kindly narrate all of these details to me.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna replied, "Oh blessed son of Dharma, what Vasishtha Muni once told to Lord Ramachandra I shall now describe to you. Please hear Me attentively. "Lord Ramachandra asked Vasishtha Muni, 'Oh great sage, I would like to hear about the best of all fasting days that day which destroys all kinds of sins and sorrows. I have suffered long enough in separation from My dear Sita, and so I wish to hear from you about how My suffering can be ended."

The sage Vasishtha replied, "Oh Lord Rama, Oh You whose intelligence is so keen, simply by remembering Your name one can cross the ocean of the material world. You have questioned me in order to benefit all of humanity and fulfill everyone's desires.

I shall now describe that day of fasting which purifies the whole world. 'Oh Rama, that day is known as Vaisakha-sukla Ekadasi, which falls on Dvadasi. It removes all sins and is famous as Mohini Ekadasi. Truly, Oh dear Rama, the merit of this Ekadasi frees the fortunate soul who observes it from the network of illusion.

Therefore, if You want to relieve Your suffering(s), observe this auspicious Ekadasi perfectly, for it removes all obstacles from ones path and relieves the greatest miseries.

Kindly listen as I describe its glories, because for one who even just hears about this auspicious Ekadasi, the greatest sins are nullified. 'On the banks of the Sarasvati River there was once a beautiful city named Bhadravati, which was ruled by King Dyutiman. Oh Rama, that steadfast, truthful, and highly intelligent king was born in the dynasty of the Moon (Chandra-vamsa).

In his kingdom was a merchant named Dhanapala, who possessed a great deal of wealth of food grains and money. He was also very pious. Dhanapala arranged for lakes to be dug, sacrificial arenas to be erected, and beautiful gardens to be cultivated for the benefit of all the citizens of Bhadravati.

He was an excellent devotee of Lord Vishnu and had five sons: Sumana, Dyutiman, Medhavi, Sukriti, and Dhrishthabuddhi. 'Unfortunately, his son Dhrishthabuddhi always engaged in greatly sinful activities, such as sleeping with prostitutes and associating with similar degraded persons. He enjoyed illicit sex, gambling, and many other varieties of acts aimed at gratifying the senses.

He disrespected the demigods (devas), the brahmins, the forefathers and other elders of the community, as well as his family's guests. The evil-hearted Dhrishthabuddhi spent up his father's wealth indiscriminately, always feasting on untouchable foods and drinking alcohol to excess. 

'One day Dhanapala kicked Dhrishthabuddhi out of the house after he saw him walking along the road arm-in-arm with a known prostitute. From then on all Dhrishthabuddhi's relatives were highly critical of him and distanced themselves from him also. After he had sold all of his inherited ornaments and become destitute, the prostitute also abandoned him and insulted him because of his poverty.

'Dhrishthabuddhi was now full of anxiety, and also hungry. He thought, "What should I do ? Where should I go ? How can I maintain myself? He then began to steal.

The king's constables arrested him, but when they learned who it was, and that his father was the famous Dhanapala, they released him. He was caught and released in this way many times. 

But at last, sick of his arrogance and total disrespect for others, and their property, the ill-mannered Dhrishthabuddhi was apprehended, handcuffed, and then beaten. After whipping him, the king's marshals warned him, "Oh evil minded one, there is no place for you in this kingdom.

'However, Dhrishthabuddhi was freed from his tribulation by his father and immediately thereafter entered the dense forest. He wandered here and there, hungry and thirsty and suffering greatly. Eventually he began killing the jungle animals, the lions, deer, boars, and even wolves for food.

Always ready in his hand was his bow, always on his shoulder was his quiver full of arrows. He also killed many birds, such as chakoras, peacocks, kankas, doves and pigeons. He unhesitatingly slaughtered many species of birds and animals to maintain his sinful way of life, the sinful results accumulating more and more each day.

On account of his previous sins, he was now immersed in an ocean of great sin that was so relentless that it appeared that he could not get out. 'Dhrishthabuddhi was always miserable and anxious, but one day, during the month of Vaisakha, by the force of some of his past merit he chanced upon the sacred Ashrama of Kaundinya Muni.

The great sage had just finished bathing in the Ganges River, and water was dripping from him still. Dhrishthabuddhi had the great good fortune to touch some of those droplets of water that were falling from the great sage's wet clothing.
Instantly Dhrishthabuddhi was freed of his ignorance, and his sinful reactions were reduced.

Offering his humble obeisances to Kaundinya Muni, Dhrishthabuddhi prayed to him with joined palms: "Oh great brahmana, please describe to me some of the atonement I may perform without too much endeavour. I have committed so many sins in my life, and these have now made me very poor.

'The great rishi replied, "Oh son, listen with great attention, for by hearing me your life will change, and you will become free of all your remaining sins. In the light fortnight of this very month, Vaisakha (April-May) there occurs the sacred Mohinii Ekadasi, which has the power to nullify sins as vast and weighty as Mount Sumeru.

If you follow my advice and faithfully observe a fast on this Ekadasi, which is so dear to Lord Hari, you will be freed from all the sinful reactions of many, many births. 'Hearing these words with great joy, Dhrishthabuddhi promised to observe a fast on Mohini Ekadasi according to the sage's instructions and direction.
Oh best of kings, Oh Ramachandra Bhagavan, by fasting completely on Mohini Ekadasi, the once sinful Dhrishthabuddhi, the prodigal son of the merchant Dhanapala, became sinless.

Afterwards he achieved a beautiful transcendental form and, free at last of all obstacles, rode upon the carrier of Lord Vishnu, Garuda, to the Supreme abode of the Lord. 'Oh Ramachandra, the fast day of Mohini Ekadasi removes the darkest illusory attachments to material existence. There is thus no better fast day in all the three worlds than this.'

Lord Sri Krishna concluded, "and so, Oh Yudhishthira, there is no place of pilgrimage, no sacrifice, and no charity that can bestow merit equal to even one sixteenth of the merit a faithful devotee of Mine obtains by observing the Mohini Ekadasi. And He who hears and studies the glories of Mohini Ekadasi achieves the merit of giving away one thousand cows in charity.

Thus ends the narration of the glories of Vaisakha-sukla Ekadasi, or Mohini Ekadasi, from the Kurma Purana. 

Can A Soul Fall Back to the Material World? (Video)

PADA: What is odd is that people like Sridhar Maharaja, Narayan Maharaja et al. always say "no souls ever fall from Vaikuntha." OK that is wrong. Notice however, that their 11 pure devotee acharyas -- and the ones they had voted in subsequently -- have been falling down left, right and center. Pure devotees never fall down, except when they fall down almost all of the time. (!!!) ys pd

Reactions to Mayapur Abuse Letter

PADA: This is a discussion about the letter in this article: 

krishna1008: ISKCON Mayapur is a Hellish Planet (Update)

It should be noted that Sulochan was writing about how he was worried his boys would be molested -- in 1985. Which means, the homosexual pedophile problem was known by many folks -- all along. To say "no one knew" is false. At least now there is a lot of outrage at this problem, and that is good, better late than never. 

When a famous CBS TV news lady interviewed me in 1986, she showed me footage her crew filmed at New Vrndavana -- of a huge "Jaya Bhaktipada" kirtan. And he was sitting on a big seat covered with the hands of -- maybe two dozen boys. And she said, before we start I have to ask, "is this pedophile heaven"? I said "yep it is." 

And she said -- thank goodness we met you, none of the other several hundred people we interviewed agreed, at least one of you Hare Krishnas sees what is going on. So people see what they want to see. 

She also said, many of the mothers at New Vrndavana had totally different looking kids which means, these women were "passed around" to different men. I said yep, very possible, that is what happened to Sulochana's wife. 

Later on "People Magazine" used a cover photo of Kirtanananda sitting on his seat with many boys, so they obviously saw the obvious. That newslady said, "if this was going on in my Church, I would go up there and pull that man off his seat all by myself, I would not care about my safety, I would not tolerate this. Why don't your people read the Bhagavad Gita? They are supposed to fight for justice. Yep, so if she could see what was what in about two seconds, anyone else could. People see what they want to see, the emperor has fine clothes, or no clothes, depends on the sincerity of the viewer. She was sincere, she got it immediately. ys pd

K Dasi: I only read a third of his letter. Too painful to read. These so-called devotees deserve the highest punishments for such crimes.

SR: Kaliyuga seems to reign unchallenged in ISKCON Mayapur...

RG: The Only way to stop them is COMPLETELY BOYCOTT OF DONATING MONEY to every ISKCON TEMPLE.

TL: It is very scary when one thinks about the donations one has given over the years. It could be / has been funding sexual predators / greed mongers wanting to satisfy their material desires with one's hard earned Luxmi. One wants to help, as some of the Temples in the world are genuinely struggling, but how does one overlook all of this?

BG: They are struggling because almost no one wants to support a criminal program posing as a religion.

RG: When temples are genuinely struggling, then I used to give donation either by ordering myself or else ask temple officials the invoices and then paying directly to the vendor. That's the best way to save both sides and no scope for all this rascaldom talks going on.

PR: I finally stopped a few months back, after giving for the last 38 years. I can no longer support this criminal conspiracy.

AK: Many years ago I ceased giving to temples or other impersonal or ambiguous fronts and instead give to individuals (usually individuals that I personally know or have some relationship with) within vaisnava communities, and usually those doing something small scale .... and less just sums of money and more tools, equipment, etc related to their activities (ie physical things that I purchase and give them). 

Just as one practical incident, it was apparent in one temple that during the summer season the heat and humidity of an enclosed deity chamber made it excrutiating to dress the deities when the curtain was closed. An ancient air conditioner was no longer up to the task. So money was given to buy a new AC. Instead the TP spent the money to repair the current AC and pocket the excess for other needs (real or imagined, who knows ...). 

Anyway, the repairs only held out for one summer before it was back to its old useless self. If you send a new AC in its box in a sort of public way so that all the devotees in the community know its meant for the deities (and pujaris), you get better results. You also get the opportunity to get more involved, as you have to investigate the dimensions of the deity room, location etc in order to choose the most suitable model of AC.

DL: This is great advice.

NY: ISKCON Mayapur is one big soup of rape, pedophilia, perversion, bribes, corruption! What started out as something noble has now crumbled and fallen further down than even Patala Loka. Hell, they should redraw the Vedic Astronomy maps and put ISKCON Mayapur under Patala Loka! I wouldn't even want to insult the residents of Patala Loka since they probably have higher standards than what's crawling around in ISKCON Mayapur!

VT Dasi: I an so deeply sorry to hear your story. My heart goes out to you.

DK: I heard of orgies organized some years back. But as of date I didn't hear of rape allegation.

VG Dasi: Oh my God these people are all so disgusting I have to throw up, I can't take it! I am so sorry for your pain and torture at the hands of these animals! Please stay strong and seek justice coming together with other victims. Together you are strong. God bless you always and give you the strength and conviction you need!

I wonder what Jayapataka S is saying about this?

DL: You're welcome to ask him.

BG: Let us ask the leader of the pedophile's camp what he thinks about pedophiles?

VG: I think the whole bunch of them are ALL the same, just covering up unthinkable crimes, and I wouldn't wanna go near any one of these people, sorry. I was just thinking out aloud that if the author of this letter who told he took initiation from JS also told him personally about these incidences what his reaction could have been.

MN: Jayapataka has been informed of innumerable sexual - violent - psychological abuses for over thirty years or more. His response has always been to do nothing of any substance!

VG: That's really sad and a criminal offence as well. It's terrible that these people don't have more of a conscience! I just can't comprehend how to just look the other way. They don't understand God's laws.

BB: They don't just look the other way, they kick out the persons complaining.

EB: Who cares? That JPS guy is now irrelevant.

MD: Thank you to this brave soul who has spoken out to expose perverse corruption and mismanagement at Mayapur. It is sad so much sexual perversion and cover up exists in our ISKCON. I worked there for a while, and saw abuse, and when I spoke up ... I got fired. There is always another lacky coming down the road to fill your position. Hare Krishna.

DL: Thank you for speaking up. 

SR: This testimony supports the big picture understanding of the abuse culture that is perpetrated and endorsed from the very top managers in Mayapur. It also demonstrates how Bengali children and villagers are are potentially at great risk of being sexually exploited (what to speak of labor exploitation).

DK: One point is that before this current management came up ... there was uncontrolled stealing. Now this allegation that is true is launched by support of the previous party that got removed. So far no honest party came up. Hamsarupa Pr. was doing research on the stealing ... and had to leave because of life threats from "the devotees."

MD: Have you seen the news lately? Majority of those who commit these offences ARE homosexual pedophiles. if their minds are not so disturbed, they wouldn’t have such proclivity.

DD: Though such reports are distressing, it’s very encouraging that more and more people are reporting these crimes. Zero tolerance begins when people are no longer prepared to be silenced

PR: It’s very difficult for me to understand, when I look at these pictures. I joined the movement to become purified, to serve Krishna, to go back to Godhead. When I no longer felt that I was being strict enough, I left the temple. I haven’t even worn a dhoti or used my spiritual name in over 20 years. 

So when I see these guys, with tilak, wearing devotional clothing, apparently / obviously? ... thinking that they are devotees, while simultaneously engaging in what I would definitely consider the most abominable activities, I really just can’t understand how they can do it. It’s really beyond my comprehension. I have no frame of reference, to understand this.

DD: Such rot at the world headquarters - in the holy place of Mayapur

GD: Now USA temples will host fundraising events. They should clear this all up before coming over here. This is modern day, not 30 years ago. Please identify the photos, who's who?? It's not proper to show pictures without identifying the people. I'm very concerned about this situation.

PD: In 1985 Sulochan had his children taken from him by New Vrndavana "enforcers" -- who cut off his van and they took his kids. He said to me --- the greatest fear he has is -- his boys would be abused at New Vrndavana, where he claimed -- there is a problem with boys being attacked there. 

That means, this problem was known in 1985. And then Sulochan wrote about the issue, which means then the problem was widely known to hundreds and hundreds of people. This problem has been going on all along ... it is just that more people are exposing it. It looks like they simply made a whole new wave of predators and enforcers, but the problem was known in the mid-1980s. Satsvarupa said we are "poison pens" for exposing their process, he wanted to suppress us, and he did. ys pd

SF: Does Indian and local Mayapur Goverment even care that Mayapur is on the path of getting reputation similar to Thailand's - sex predators and pedophiles sex - tourism center; only Mayapur's is with a twist; having a tin coat of religiousity assumed by rapists, pedophiles and child predators?

EB: We might assume, that’s the reason they are all there.

TD: Thank you for your testimony. This is very brave of you. 

DD: Has this complaint already been registered by the Indian Police? is it a real complaint or, is it just a written outlet for some group?

DL: It is real. We have checked the source and it is bona fide. I don't know about whether the Indian police are involved. That is up to the survivors to decide for themselves.

EB: I’m curious as to why the only justice he will accept is the perpetrator being removed from his managerial position.

DL: Perhaps because all other attempts at justice have failed?

HD: There are two sides to a story. We’ve heard one side. It’s only fair to allow a rebuttal from the accused. Since the VI published the victim’s story it’s now the VI’s responsibility to hear from the alleged perpetrators. And publish that too!

DL: Yes. Haven't got any messages from them in my inbox yet, though. 

UD: Regarding Subeksana, he was trained up by AVD.... what does everyone expect ?

LD: I still want my $11,000 of hard earned money back, but Braja Vilasa gave me a run around, so did Vegavati from Alachua, Florida. And now I have breast cancer and need it. I actually wanted that money to be transfered to CPO but I was just ignored.

C Dasi: Sorry to hear you are suffering. Was this money you had given the Bhaktivedanta Gurukula? Vegavati Dasi?

PB: Sorry to hear such horror ... justice should be met.

DD: Hare Krishna, Pls share the details at the official web site. cpobharat@gmail.com. 

Contact us ... CPO Bharat is active team authorised by Iskcon Indian Bureau. There are active memebers, pls contact as early as possible. It's very sad to hear that this thing has happened. Pls co-operate with us.

EB: This case is not for the CPO because it doesn’t involve children.

AM: It seems likely that there are child victims as well. In this case he was just 18. 

GK: My mind reels everytime I read things like these … I would ask “WHO DO THEY SERVE?” I can’t blame devotees who leave and join the ritvik groups …

ZD: I am wondering how this 18 years old boy couldn’t defend himself? 

DD: In a power structure people often end up disempowered. Your question seems to convey a certain dismissiveness.

TT: It seems to me that he decided to "swallow up" what was happening to him because he was financially depending on them, but now when others started to rebel, he got the courage to rise up...

ZD: Until you’ve had a similar experience it’s not yours to question.

AD: I think it's a logical question, and he has received several answers. It is healthy to voice concerns we may have. Just turn of your brain and logic.
We've spent many years in an environment where we were considered offensive to simply ask logical questions, so therefore allowing respectful debate is one of our core values.

ZD: Of course, otherwise is like in army: it is not up to you to think, just obey and follow the orders.

OM: We are used to hearing about the " fight / flight" response, but actually many victims Freeze, don't knowing what to do, how to react. And of course there is the power imbalance: we are speaking about a 18 years old village boy facing strange and unexpected actions from a "senior, advanced devotee, with money and a position" in the society. It's a very strange situation, the mind can't function properly. And as the victim said, the criminal was acting normally next day, as nothing had happened.

ZD: Yes, total abnormal situation. 

GG: That is why they set up their pedophile camps in rural areas like New Vrndavana and Mayapur, where it is hard for victims to find help or justice. This is intentional.

BD: Looks like Radha Madhav deity don't want to move to the new TOVP, until everything is cleaned up totally at Mayapur.

DL: This is pastoral, financial and spiritual abuse, as well as sexual abuse.

YD: In Krishna’s name why can’t we just get the authorities involved. Someone contact the Hindu Times. This has to be made public and go right up to high court in India. Or I’m afraid nothing else can be done.

DL: You are welcome to take all the action you see fit.

ND: Some of the adult even though they are over 18 years old comes from very poor and disadvantaged families. They do find the Krishna consciousness attractive and decides to give their life to serving Krishna. However they are exploiting by people who are in power. If they speak against the authority they would be kicked out. 

In a way they are defenceless because they will lose roof over their heads. That’s the fear they have. It’s not only in Mayapur but other places in the world which I know of where devotees are fearful of speaking against some individual who are in power. Prabhupada created this movement of love, kindness and compassion not to live in fear.

Recently a devotee told me that she was physically abused by senior devotees while living in a temple because she was very outspoken. I said to her “ you could have left and gone home “.

She said that she was very attracted to Krishna and devotional life and going home wasn’t an option because her family were against Krishna consciousness. We are living in a very complex world and you would think that life of devotee would make things simple but it’s not that easy. We are preaching simple living high thinking but in reality it’s the opposite.

DL: Yes, devotees are intimidated for all kinds of reasons. It's a normal human reaction to abusive behaviour.

AS: The Mayapur GBCs must resign. If they do not they are shameless!!!

PADA: We said this is the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexuals and pedophiles as messiahs club, and -- it is. ys pd

ISKCON Mayapur is a Hellish Planet (Update)

krishna1008: Welcome to Hellish Planet Called ISKCON Mayapur

krishna1008: ISKCON India's Child Protection: A Giant Scam

krishna1008: Ambarisa Writes On Mayapur TOVP / PADA's Response (VIDEO)

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

In pursuance of our commitment to dealing robustly with child protection, in December 2022, the GBC Body authorized an independent review of the governance and leadership in the Mayapur and Vrindavan gurukulas. The report was submitted to us in February, and since then, we have met the review team members to discuss their findings. We now share this report with you in its original and complete form.

The report is candid in its critique of our governance and leadership at school, regional, and international levels. We are making this report public in the spirit of transparency and to reassure devotees that we are treating this matter very seriously.

We will now be working diligently with the review team and others to coordinate the specifics of what will constitute "Phase Two" and move matters forward with the implementation of the report recommendations. We do not yet have a defined timescale for Phase Two, but we expect that the entire process will be delivered by the March 2024 GBC Annual General Meeting in Sridham Mayapur. We recognize that devotees around the world will be keen to be kept informed as matters proceed, and we will endeavor to provide updates whenever practical.

Hare Krsna,

Your servants,

Revati Raman Das
Guru Prasad Swami
Tapana Misra Das,
GBC Executive Committee

[PADA: It is always "being reviewed" for 45 years ain't it? ys pd]

====================

PADA: Publicly posted complaint letter.

The following letter was forwarded by someone connected to management in Mayapura. I'm posting in it the interests of public safety.

If you feel so inspired, please ask ISKCON leaders for an immediate investigation into the grave allegations made by those who were abused. An immediate suspension of those involved is the correct course of action under the circumstances.

Trigger Warning!! Sexual and Pastoral Abuse

=============

To the respected members of GBC, Indian Bureau, MEB, and Sabha, Dandavat Pranams. Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya!

My birth name is XXXXXX. I am XX years old. I’m initiated by H.H Jayapataka Swami Maharaja. My birthplace is Mayapur Dham and I am a Bengoli. I live in XXXXX, Mayapur. My parents belong to the XXXXX community. My father and Uncles are not members of ISKCON. 

After I finished school, I started serving in ISKCON Mayapur Land Office since I was 18 years old. My wife has helped me to put together this letter as my English is not so good, but I want my horrific experiences to be heard. When I served in land department, I along with my brothers risked our lives several times to protect and acquire land for ISKCON Mayapur at all costs. 

PADA: We are told some local farmers were attacked in different ways to extort their land.

We were sent out as an army of men to protect the land whenever there was a dispute. Many times we were severely beaten by local goonda’s. But we continued to serve Srila Prabhupada regardless of the pain we felt. It was our pride and duty to help ISKCON Mayapur.

Unfortunately, along the way we have been victims of serious sexual abuse. I feel so humiliated to even share this publicly but recently when my fellow young XXXX brother serving in the security department, came out publicly with his experience, I lost control and couldn’t keep quiet anymore. This young man works as a security guard and he was repeatedly sexually abused. 

He has all the text messages, voice messages etc as evidence. Myself along with a group of other young XXXXX boys have also been sexually abused and exploited by Jagadatiya Prabhu, J.D (present Land in charge of ISKCON Mayapur).

When I was 18 years old and starting my service in Land Office, Jagadatiya Prabhu invited me to stay over at his house and at night time he sexually abused me. I was very shocked, ashamed and angry but being a young man, only 18 years old, I was powerless to defend myself. I was shaking and in complete panic and didn’t sleep the whole night. I was in complete fear. In the morning Jagadatiya Prabhu pretended that nothing happened and went on with the day as normal. 

As a married bengoli man, I feel too embarrassed to write all the details of the abuse here, but I am filing a police report and will include everything there along with my medical reports. After putting it off for so long due to lack of money, I recently underwent surgery for my backside. For three months I was bed ridden and couldn’t walk. I spent more than 5 Lakhs Rupees on surgery. I will share all medical certificates with the authorities.

PADA: It evidently is what Sulochan said it is, a butt buster guru program. I need surgery on my back side, because ok evidently, the GBC are what Sulochan said they are "an anus sex pooja program."

I was disgusted and sad that someone whom I looked up to and respected so much could violate my private space and my body for his own personal homosexual needs. I have lived with the pain and shame for many years now. But there is more shocking information that I would like to share with the leaders. 

Our Co-Director’s knew full well about Jagadatiya Prabhu’s homosexual abusive tendencies. When ever evidence was shown to them it was covered up as nothing. Me and my brothers personally saw Jagadatiya Prabhu watching homosexual porn in the office while we were all working. He didn’t even try and hide it. 

He was very confident and proud. I heard from many other young devotee men how Jagadatiya Prabhu would sexually exploit them. But because we are Bengoli devotees and have been given a ‘Mafia Reputation’, by our Co-Director’s no one would listen to us. ISKCON Mayapur didn’t mind to use our physical strength when they needed their lands protected, but if we spoke up about the abuse, we were labeled as dacoits, perverts.

Two years ago, I tried to get get some justice for the abuse I faced. I personally told Braja Vilasa Prabhu and Subheksana Prabhu, our two co-directors about the horrible abusive experience I had, and neither of them took any action or gave any support. In fact they put Jagadatiya Prabhu in charge of the land office knowing his nature. If these two Co-Directors deny that I informed them then I will become very upset. 

Because how can a victim have any evidence that they told their authorities that they are abused. Authorities are supposed to be persons of integrity and provide protection. They didn’t tell me to put anything into writing, they just heard me out and ignored me. How can Braja Vilasa Prabhu and Subheksana prabhu be so shameless and put a known sexual predator in power of position. 

It has become common knowledge amongst the local devotees that Braja Vilasa Prabhu has one agenda only - to complete TOVP. And he will do this at any cost, even at the cost of victims pain. Every festival in Mayapur whether it is Mahaprabhu’s abhisheka or my Gurudeva’s Vyasa Puja, every single big program where masses are gathered, becomes a shouting session, meaning Braja Vilasa Prabhu takes the mic and demands donations. 

Local devotees feel so embarrassed when he does this but no one can say anything or they will get fired. He is so fixed on collecting for the million dollar temple, and in meantime our local Bengoli devotees are breaking their backs in service. We get such low salaries that many of us have to do side businesses just to pay for our children’s school fees. Braja Vilasa spent lakhs in building the ILS Pandal, that money could feed our families for years to come.

These Co-Directors put a known abuser in a position of authority and they cannot deny it, the whole Bengali community will testify to this. All the boys, mothers and fathers are so angry at Co-Directors. Jagadatiya Prabhu also has an office in the BVNS primary school. Many times he is seen being very affectionate to 16-17years old Bengali boys. 

Everyone is afraid of him so no one makes any complaint even though they feel very uncomfortable. When I wanted to meet Braja Vilasa Prabhu he treated me like an animal and made me wait outside his office in the summer sun for several hours before speaking with me. I felt so humiliated. I could hear his assistants saying I am waiting, and he said, yes, make him wait more. 

When Braja Vilasa Prabhu became Co-Director he demanded that we all show him the utmost respect due to his new position. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t get any service. Without service we had no way to maintain our families so we had to bow to him. This is how corrupt our Mayapur co-directors are.

Subheksana Prabhu oversees the Land department so he constantly shields Jagadatiya Prabhu and covers up all his nonsense. Subheksana Prabhu makes excuse for every mistake that Jagadatiya Prabhu makes. Even now, Subheksana Prabhu knows how angry the local Bengoli devotees are but still they are both seen publicly seated in the park together for hours. As a leader Subheksana Prabhu has zero compassion for the victims. 

All the locals know that Jagadatiya Prabhu is stealing wood and land by the millions. Subheksana Prabhu continues to support him. We do not understand why. Maybe Jagadatiya Prabhu is protecting Subheksana Prabhu’s secrets. In today’s meeting some local devotees said that Subheksana Prabhu proposed marriage to a twelve year old girl. Is that proper behaviour for a leader?

After serving in the land office, in 2021 I started serving in the Boys Gurukula. I was working under Subheksana Prabhu’s brother in law, Baladeva Das. He is my age and was the principal of the Boys Gurukula and he presently oversees all the money in the Gurukula. I was shocked to see how much of cash they deal with, not everything is transferred to ISKCON treasury. 

Every six months Baladeva buys a new fancy motor bike (Enfield, BMW, KTM), where does a young grhastha doing devotional service get such money from?) When Subheksana Prabhu became Co-Director he tried to take my own motor bike away claiming that it belonged to ISKCON. This was an abuse of power. After one year of service, when Gurukula Maharaja CPT report came out, Baladeva who is his disciple, quickly resigned as school Principal and immediately fired me from my Gurukula service. A week later he took up my service. Is this right? Why is such nepotism allowed?

Subheksana Prabhu is a Co-Director but he stays in Gurukula apartment and receives Gurukula salary, why? Why is co-Director teaching children and engaging his family in all top services. These two co-directors Braja Vilasa and Subheksana Prabhu took no action and gave zero support to us the victims. 

How can such individuals lead our Mayapur project. Me and my XXXX brothers (we are a united village) will not tolerate this anymore. For failing to take any action and putting an abuser in position both these Co-Directors should step down immediately. Any leader who supports and enables sexual abuse is not fit to be a leader. Just because my brothers and I were not children or foreign devotees does not mean we are not victims. 

You will be getting several other reports from other young XXXX men - with evidence - showing what we have been through. I am NOT the only one who has been sexually abused by Jagadatiya Prabhu, there are so many others coming out now, a big group almost.

The whole of Mayapur viilagers are talking, everyone is very angry and want to take immediate action. But devotees are also very afraid. We want Jagadaatiya Prabhu, Braja Vilasa and Subheksana Prabhu to step down from their positions immediately. This is not a compromise. At present the only Co-Director in Mayapur is Subheksana Prabhu. 

He and Braja Vilasa Prabhu have arranged an immediate ‘internal investigation’ with their own people who work under them. This is ridiculous. I do not agree to this. Someone neutral has to investigate this otherwise again there will be another cover up and this abusive man will keep abusing young men and these Co-Directors will shamelessly protect him and their image.

Jagadatiya Prabhu is very sneaky. He has designed a special system to carefully select his victims. His assistant Devakinandan employs young men that jagadatiya likes. Then Jagadatiya Prabhu checks them out and pretends to be physically affectionate to them, stroke their arm or leg. If they don’t ‘look’ uncomfortable, he engages more. Once he confirms that they are ‘willing’ he then moves them into his personal land office seva. 

Once they are in the office he then abuses them and when he is sexually satisfied, the young man is then sent away. When they get this demotion, they become very insecure and this is how he uses his position and power to control them. It’s disgusting. Dear Leaders, Mayapur Dham is our birth land as much as anyone else’s. We are local devotees born and raised here. Our village masses, family, friends, even fellow Muslim brothers are so horrified and disgusted at how we have been treated. We all want our justice.

I don’t want any service from ISKCON anymore. And many others feel this way too. We are so disgusted that so called devotees can behave in such ways. Again, all we want is justice in the form of these 3 devotees, Jagadatiya Prabhu, Subheksana Prabhu and Braja Vilasa Prabhu to be removed from managerial positions immediately. Kindly respond that you received my message. Your Mayapur Dhambasi Sevak, XXXXXX

PADA: Yep, we have heard these types of things, seems like forever, and it seems this is always "being investigated by a GBC committee" -- forever. Isn't it about time to get rid of the Mayapur management? People born in the dham are said to be descendants of Lord Chaitanya's devotees, and this is how they get treated? Anyway, yeah, file police reports and get these deviant GBC people locked up. What are people waiting for?

Who Is Writing ISKCON's History? (PADA and JD) 04 28

[PADA: Thanks JD, yes there are a lot of people who do not like the writings of Henry Doktorski, or even PADA. Some of them are GBC people -- and some of them are -- for example -- the Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur type guys. OK but someone has had to unravel what happened in post-1978 ISKCON, and first of all that was being done almost exclusively by the karmi media folks -- such as -- the writers of "Monkey On A Stick," CBS TV, Moundsville Intelligencer, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and etc. 

Most devotees simply have not bothered to write any version of ISKCON history, never mind the corrected version of the history, so they let others do it for them. Now some of them are complaining that the history is not being recorded accurately, OK fine --but mostly -- they did not record anything, anywhere at any time. Yep, so what did they expect? They think other people are going to write things -- the way these critics want it to be done. They are the self appointed arm chair advisors of everyone else, includes us, and karmi media folks?

Clearly ISKCON devotees as a group have been pretty much absent from the "history of ISKCON" recording and writing department. Sulochan and me started writing a few things in the 1980s, and thus we immediately stood out like sore thumbs because -- no one else was writing anything AT ALL substantial. AT ALL. And very few devotees supported our writings, and most of them opposed. 

That means -- most of them wanted the GBC's version of history to stand -- i.e. "Krishna wanted 11 deviants, and their entourage of clowns, assorted sex predators, dope heads, drunks, monkeys, porno swamis and / or worse -- killer pedophile clowns -- to be worshiped as His successors" -- and our version (ok this is not what Krishna wants) to fail and collapse.

Yep. Almost zero percent of the ISKCON devotees have been writing anything AT ALL about the post-1978 history. OK they wanted someone else to write it, and the karmi media, PADA, Henry and others obliged. In other words, if you do not write your own history, someone else might write it for you. 

Rather amazingly, many of the GBC people STILL have no idea what is their own history, or they would not have buried Kirtanananda in a samadhi and made Kirtanananda's main henchman, namely Radhanath swami, as their new darling messiah of ISKCON. 

Meanwhile the Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur type guys just hijack and steal statements made by PADA and / or Henry's "Killing For Krishna" book -- and then they just put out our stuff on their sites, not giving us any credit. They are also trying to re-write history -- by writing us out of it.

They don't like us, but they get most of their valid materials by stealing from us. Notice that as soon as we mentioned "the 1977 poison whispers" "the hair sample Cadmium issue" etc. they immediately started to mention these items. They are simply stealing their stuff from us. Meanwhile they are not making their own actually independent investigative writings.

This begs the question, would I agree with everything the karmi medias and / or Henry Doktorski and / or anyone else's reporting says? Nope, but they are doing a better job of investigative reporting than -- most others. So if someone wanted to make an investigative reporting writing site, that is fine. But mostly, they aren't. At least now we can pin the Sulochan murder definitively on the New Vrndavan crew, because Henry has investigated the issue like no one else ever would. We now have many eye witness accounts that are crucial to understanding "what went down here."

Neither I can expect other writers, or the Dallas courts, or anyone else, to fully accept only my version, that is not realistic.

So the GBC ilk are ignoring us. The Sanat / Mukunda / HKC Jaipur are just selectively swiping pieces of other's works. And meanwhile hardly no one else bothers to say or do anything. Which means, they largely don't care how the ISKCON history is publicly perceived or written, at all. One GBC type guy just now said he does not want to say anything about any issue "either way" because he does not want to make enemies on either side. Silence means acceptance however.

They self evidently don't even care if ISKCON is seen as a religion that worships criminals and sexual predators as its messiahs, because otherwise they would take actions to correct that perception a long time ago. Worse, many other of my brothers tell me -- yeah, Krishna wanted us to worship these 11 clowns and their clown car act -- as His successors, because otherwise Krishna would have failed to make even one pure devotee. 

Yep, more than a few people have told me the leaders are pathological liars, narcissists and / or psychopaths, including victims, media folks, some law enforcement folks etc. In fact this is one of the questions I often get from law enforcement, media, scholars and many others on a regular basis -- "if any of these leaders actually believed in karma and God, how could they act so abominably and exploit and mistreat others so horribly." 

My answer? "They do not believe in karma, God or even common moral principles followed by the atheists, they are less than atheists. They do not believe in punishment in the afterlife -- because they do not believe there is any. They are more of less existential nihilists -- there is no afterlife, there is no purpose to existence, and thus all morals are meaningless. And often I get the response, "that nicely explains their lack of conscience." ys pd

Correct Understanding of Free Will and Surrender (KG)

KG: The correct understanding of free will, surrender and genuine loving voluntary exchanges and reciprocation between devotees, is not maturely understood during these early pioneering years within ISKCON.

The subject of free will, surrender and loving exchanges is often misunderstood, ignored or overlooked.

Many over the years have foolishly claimed that "surrendering" to Krsna means giving up your "free will" and self expression in the spiritual world, and let Krsna do all the thinking for you eternally like a puppet is controlled be strings.

I eventually learnt that such mindless philosophy was dangerous nonsense because if we have no free will, then we are no better than dead stone and such philosophy is really impersonalism.

The following quotes are from Srila Prabhupada regarding surrender, free will and love --

Srila Prabhupada - "If you have no free will, then you are a stone. The stone has no free will. You want to be stone? Then you must have free will. But don't misuse your free will. But don't try to become stone either. That is not life." (Aug 5, 1976, New Mayapur France)

Srila Prabhupada - "Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling. Then there is love. Not by force, no, Krsna does not want to become a lover like that, You love me, otherwise I shall kill you!" (Washington DC July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupada - "Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love?" (Teheran, Iran, Aug 9th, 1976)

Real love or Bhakti is a two-way street based on selfless devotion to God.
Loving expressions on the highest level is achieved by volunteering to work or serve in Krsna's plan under the instructions of a His bonafide spiritual master.
And by helping the spiritual Master bring back all the fallen jiva-souls trapped in this mundane material creation, and encourage them to return back home, back to Godhead.

Choosing to serve the servants of the servants of the servants of Krsna is the highest expression of selflessness and love of God.

But first one must understand who they really are as an individual jiva-soul, which is NOT the material bodily vessel they are covered by within the material world, but the eternal individual jiva-soul (person) within the material body, and an eternal servant of God, who perpetually has free will in the spiritual world with their own independent unique individual of identity and personality separate from Krsna's Personality.

Loving relationships are always a "two-way" street based on reciprocation, loving exchanges and voluntary participation in the Kingdom of God.

The expression of real love or service is never a slave domineering mindless one-way "master/ slave servant" relationship in the spiritual world that only destroys one's free will, sense of individual self and allowing one to have the ability to offer their best personal spiritual contributions of individual talents and abilities in both Vaikuntha or Goloka-Vrindavana.

Of course in the material creation there is almost no free will while trapped in the species of material life, there is only the instinct of eating, sleeping, mating and defending.

The human species are also directed by karmic reactions because in the human form the living entities are responsible for their actions good or bad.

Real freedom or free will only fully exists in Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana.
Understanding free will and one's eternal individual right to make their own choices and contributions in the spiritual world, is the constitutional make up of all marginal living entities (jiva-souls)

No two jiva-souls are the same, each has their own unique individual personality, sense of self, character and personality when engaging in loving exchanges with Krsna.

In Goloka-Vrindavana there must always be reciprocation between the jiva-soul and Krsna. Loving exchanges must always exist, so the jiva souls naturally express their own unique personality and sense of independent self while choosing to serve Krsna.

The fact is each jiva-soul has their own unique individuality that eternally allows them to make their own personal offerings and choices while serving Krsna or Visnu in the spiritual world.

Such free will is the basic make up and foundation of every marginal living entity's (jiva-soul) unique independent character and personality in both Goloka-Vrindavan and Vaikuntha.

Otherwise without free will one is just dead stone Srila Prabhupada tells us.
Srila Prabhupada - "Because you are Son of God you have got independence, full independence, you have acquired the quality of your father. You have got little independence. So God does not interfere with your little independence." (Melb, Australia June 25, 1974)

Srila Prabhupada - "In Bengali it is said, ‘If you catch one girl or boy, ‘You love me, you love me, you love me. Is it love? You love me, otherwise I will kill you!’ Is that love? So Krsna does not want to become a lover like that."(Washington DC July 8, 1976)

Srila Prabhupāda - "Unless there are two persons, where is the question of love? Love means two persons, there is exchange. Giving something, taking something, feeding something and to eat something, and speaking everything, no secrecy, and to know everything of the other person. When these things are transacted, then there is love. I must deal with you open-hearted, you must deal with me open-hearted, then there is love. So if you want to love Kṛṣṇa, God, then these things must be there." (Evening Darsana, Aug 9, 1976, Tehran)

This eternally existing spiritual social code of free will, that includes an independent sense of a self and individuality, is the eternal constitution of all individual jiva-souls and is part and parcel of their character and personality.
Each jiva-soul has these attributes without beginning or end and is part of every marginal living entities (jiva-souls) eternal constitution.

This allows the jiva-soul to personally always be aware that they are a unique individual independent person while serving Krsna, being different from all other living entities in the Spiritual Sky.

Free will means it is the jiva soul's choice of how to they want surrender and serve Krsna, or even not surrender if they choose however, the majority of jiva-souls, over 90% of jiva-souls never make that foolish choice and enter the temporary decaying material creation.

Srila Prabhupada - "We have got the propensity to love. Love means somebody else. Love cannot be done or love cannot be executed with only one, there must be another one. I love somebody; somebody loves me, there must be lover, there must be beloved, and the transaction, then love." (Lecture on SB Canto 1 Ch 2 text 6, Delhi, Nov 12, 1973)

Love can only exist when there are two involved in loving exchanges.

Srila Prabhupada - "The impersonalist philosophy is oneness. So how can there be love with just one? Is it possible? Have you got any such experience? Love means one? No. Love means two. There must be two, the lover and the beloved. Kṛṣṇa is already lover. He's so lover of you that He's trying to get you back. That is Kṛṣṇa's attempt. "Please, My dear boy, or My dear friend, My dear servant." (Lecture on SB Canto 2 Ch 1 text 3, Paris, June 12, 1974)

The jiva-soul in both Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana, never lose their free will, which means their own individual ability of self expression when choosing to offer their own personal contributions that is unique to each of the individual jiva-soul or jiva-tattva.

Each jiva-soul in their full natural ''svarupa'' potential in the spiritual world's of Vaikuntha and Goloka-Vrindavana, has this eternal marginal quality of free will and independent personality, which is part and parcel of the jiva-souls perpetual constitutional makeup.

In this way, each of jiva-soul has their own individual identity, character, personality, likes and dislikes and being one of kind in the Spiritual Sky, independent from all other jiva-souls and Kṛṣṇa.

No two jiva-souls are the same, each has their own unique individual personality, character and independent identity. This eternally existing makeup or constitution of each jiva-soul, is without any beginning or ending point, and is part and parcel of every marginal living entities (jiva-souls)

This allows the jiva-soul to "personally" always be aware of their own individuality and independent nature while serving Krsna in their very best way, that is different from all other living entities in the Spiritual Sky.

This is a very important point to understand as we progress and mature in our Krsna Consciousness. The relationship between Krsna and the jiva-soul is never one-sided, never forced, never impersonal, it is always reciprocal, nurturing, personal and voluntary, in a mood of good exchanges and feelings, only then can there be real love.

Srila Prabhupada - "So, unless there is a possibility of misusing our free will, there is no question of freedom." (Dialectical Spiritualism, Critique of Descartes). 

ISKCON India's Child Protection: A Giant Scam

PADA: Oh oh pilgrims. According to this report, some of the teachers involved with the GBC's Vrndavan "gurukula" (children's school) are themselves child beaters, and / or they are enablers of the overall child beating and raping infrastructure / pedophile messiahs club -- and / or pedophiles in samadhi process etc. 

They keep circling their wagons around the bad guys or their supporters, which will not change the situation. No wonder the India ICC people are calling me a mleccha, they see that they have no good counter arguments, so they have to resort to bodily connected racism, and insults, which are the arguments given by rascals. 

But there is good news, people are catching on, and many more are catching on daily ...

SRD: Open letter to the GBC and the Indian Bureau.

Hare Krsna devotees,

Please accept my respectful obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I just had the opportunity to read the glowing and reassuring reports on the Vrindavana Gurukula by Nrisimhananda prabhu and Pancharatna prabhu, the head of the newly formed Indian CPO.

These reports are very similar, they both read like some amateur, rosy, fairy tale description of a Vrindavana Gurukula, where everything is happy and wonderful!
They are the sort of reports that one would expect to find in a propaganda BTG article from 1985.

'As far as we can tell everything is great, we loved the prasadam, the kids were smiling and the facilities are world class and improving'!

I imagine that to the uninformed reader or the GBC, that in the midst of the current Child Protection scandal / crisis, desperately needs us to believe that surely there must be some good news somewhere, these reports will sound like welcome music to their ears! But just how reliable are these reports? I will focus this letter on Pancaratna's report, because unlike Nrisimhananda prabhu he holds an official position.

PADA: Nrsimhananda is actually part of the official ISKCON SABHA, which evidently promotes the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's program. I have personally seen him attending big meetings with the other big shots. He is an influencer and enabler of the regime. 

While Jayapataka is like -- "der Führer und Reichskanzler" of their Auschwitz for kids program, people like Nrsingananda are sort of like the Joe Goebbels apologists and behind the scenes advocates for their molester messiah's system. He evidently wants to make sure all the ISKCON kids are offering one handed salutes to his pedophile messiahs club Fuhrers, so he can get them sent into his death camps for kids. Or what is the better explanation? 

And that is why he is from Los Angeles, and no coincidence, the leader of the child beating and raping gulag -- Jayapataka -- was recently worshiped there like der grand child destroying Fuhrer that he is for them. They all work together hand in glove i.e. "der Führer und Reichskanzler" -- and -- Joe Goebbels.  

Nrsimhananda got into my face once and asked me very angrily -- "are you one of those ritviks (non pedophile messiahs lineage worshipers)"? In other words -- he tried to intimidate me for not worshiping his anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's club. 

Yes, as a matter of fact -- I do not promote the worship of anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's clubs, which some ex-child victims have told me was like "Auschwitz for kids." Anyone who is not a fan of their pedophile loving Fuhrer and death camps gulags for kids is -- trouble. 

Sulochan said these types of people are "boot lickers for the b*tt busters." Yep, the ritviks worship pure devotees -- and the leaders of the pedophile messiah's program are infuriated with anyone who does now become a fellow boot licker of their pedophile pooja process. 

He is always hanging out with his fellow anal sex pooja messiah's club pals and he avoids us. And let's face it, they were infuriated with Sulochan because he was totally onto what he called their "anal sex pooja program." "The Andy Warhol sampradaya etc." 

Sulochan also said, worshiping pedophiles is like putting a dog's stool in the sweet rice. You can add sugar, put a strawberry on top, and put it in a fancy cup, but no one wants to drink it. So they keep adding more committees on top of their previous committees, but they are not getting many customers for their dog stools sweet rice. Of course, the generals in charge of Auschwitz for kids should not even expect to gain a large following, that will never happen, it will always be a teeny cult. The other good news is, we are going to be exposing them on national TV.

Nrsimhananda Dasa | Sabha (iskconsabha.com)

The report submitted by the Inquiry commissioned by the GBCs to investigate the Vrindavana and Mayapur Gurukulas paints a very different picture. Which report offers a more accurate rendition of reality the situation on the ground?

Navin Krishna's Inquiry report is very thorough, professional and meticulous, and raises many red flags and points of concern, whereas Pancharatna's report is quite the opposite. It reads like an amateur document slapped together in a rush. 'There is nothing to see here, keep walking'.

While Navin Krisna's team is made up of professionals in the field of education and child protection, Pancaratna's team has no experience or education in the field at all. Even if I didn't know anything else about Pancharatna, after reading these two reports, my first impression was that this job is far beyond Pancharatna's competencies. He is in way out of his depths!

The Indian Bureau, recently appointed Pancharatna das as the CPO Director for India. Given that he has had zero training, education or experience in the field of Child Protection, it is difficult to understand why the Indian Bureau or Pancharatna himself felt that he was well suited for the job.

Pancharatna has stated:

"The ICC does not accept the ICPO, not in this case (Lokanath), and not at all. We do not accept the ICPO as a body, and we do not accept Kamlesh Krishna as a leader."

PADA: Right, anyone who does not promote pedophiles as God's successors (OK like PADA) is not accepted by the ICC people. The ICC folks even chastised me for being a mleccha, because us mlecchas worship pure devotees like Jesus and not anal reconstructive surgery epidemic messiah's clubs. 

In his report he assures us that “The school staff is competent”, but what are his qualifications that give him the ability to asses the competency of the staff?
Pancaranta does not seem to understand or appreciate the fact that having teachers who also serve as CPT members creates a problematic conflict of interests!

PADA: The fox is guarding the hens. Any questions?

Does the India Bureau really think that someone who is utterly unqualified to serve as the Director of Child Protection -- and who is so hostile to child protection in general -- and the one devotee who could help guide him, can somehow help with the decades long child protection crisis of ISKCON in India?

The current management of the Vrindavana Gurukula headed by Lila Purushottam took over the school in, when Ananda Vrindavana Mataji moved to Washington DC, sometime around 2010. Since they have taken over the school, I have received dozens and dozens of reports detailing extreme and pervasive abuse of the children in the Vrindavana Gurukula. 

These reports describe a culture of bullying and intimidation by some members of the school staff, directed both towards the students and those faculty members who have raised objections or reported the abuse of children. Whistle blowers have been routinely sacked from the school.

PADA: Yep, routinely sacked, just like they sacked me in 1979. Its what they do.

If history is anything to go by, chances are that the allegations made by Narayani devi dasi, that she was mistreated by the management, hold some truth!
As I am not serving in any official capacity in ISKCON and thus have no direct or privileged access to confidential documents, it is reasonable to assume that the extent of the problem may actually be far greater than I am aware of.

In reading Pancharatna's report, I was alarmed to discover that, three of the devotees mentioned, namely Lila Purushottam, Radha Kantha das and Lila Govinda das, are all accused of having beaten children at the Vrindavana Gurukula. (!!!)

PADA: It looks like -- like minded people are attracted to one another. They keep re-shuffling their same small group of people around into different positions, adding new hats, but their past 45 years history speaks for itself. 

Lila Purushottam is accused of having beaten the students and his own children in front of school staff. Their presence in the school dispels any shred of doubts I may have had about the safety of children in the school.

When the top leaders of the school are accused of beating children, what are the chances that physical abuse of the students will be taken seriously by the school?
In 2017 an official CPO report found some 60 cases of child abuse in the Vrindavana Gurukula, covering the full range. A former staff member told me that as of 2019 there were 45 open (unresolved) cases of child abuse in the school.

Towards the end of last year a devotee who has children in the Vrindavana Gurukula contacted me, asking for help. I was informed that the children in the school have access to porn and that sexual activities among students are widespread in the school.

PADA: Yep, same things happened to many from the original gurukula second generation, there was a sort of loose atmoshere of illicit sex, drugs and all kinds of issues. OK some of them around here eat hamburgers and they hate Hare Krishna. What kind of schools produce such results? 

One of them, a very sweet and nice gurukuli female who was actually favorable to PADA, died of drug toxicity overdose. Another one killed himself here with a gunshot to the head. One female ex-kuli type tried to stab her mom and the cops were called, ad infinitum. How does this stuff hapen in "a well regulated gurukula program"?

Essentially, since taking over the school, Lila Purushottam has actively enabled and covered up the abuse of hundreds of children in the Vrindavana Gurukla. Gopal Krishna Maharaj has been made aware of the extent of the problem many times over, but is yet to take any decisive action to tackle the matter.

There is a qualified and dedicated devotee who is the representative for the Child Protection Office in Vrindavana, his name is Sri Ram Pandit prabhu, sadly he is not welcome in the Vrindavana Gurukula!

I understand that child protection has become a highly politicized and contentious issue. But it is essential that ISKCON India takes this matter seriously. We have to make sure that these children do not become casualties in the East-West power struggle that has been crippling ISKCON!

PADA: Yep, India has become the main area where the pedophile messiah's program is growing, obviously because many of the people there lack discrimination. Of course some of them are with PADA, but there is a problem overall. 

India needs its own regional Child Protection Office, but quite simply Pancharatna is not the person qualified to lead this office. This office cannot be a show-bottle department primarily aimed at dis-empowering the CPO from pursuing high profile offenders and presenting a deceitful, happy and smiling facade.

The Indian Child Protection Office needs to be headed by someone who is accountable to, and willing and able to work under the guidance of the International CPO.

An independent Indian CPO run by unqualified people, that is not accountable to anyone cannot offer the transparency that is required to serve the best interest of these devotee children. The Indian CPO must have the will, the resources and the political support to do everything humanly possible to ensure the protection and well-being of the children that take shelter in ISKCON schools.

It is time to put an end to the culture that has enabled the abuse of generations of Vaishnava Children! As things stand right now, it appears that this new Indian CPO body has been appointed, by the India Bureau, without the approval of the GBC.

If the GBC truly believes that this new and ill-equipped, Indian CPO headed by Pancharatna das is the best way forward, then I request that you kindly pass a resolution stating as much. At least that way you will be responsible for this dangerous policy, when (and not if) the next scandal hits the headlines.

Conversely, if you are concerned that the current Indian CPO is not running in a way that is ideal, please do the needful! While you leaders stall and try to see if you can fit child protection in your next annual meetings, your schools are run by individuals who have demonstrated time and again, that they should have nothing to do with children!

Child Protection needs to be prioritized!

Thank you
Aspiring to serve the Vaishnavas
SRD

PADA: The worshipers of the GBC's illicit sex with men, women and children messiah's club are dangerous to children, and dangerous to us whistleblowers, and indeed are "the most dangerous elements in human society" according to Srila Prabhupada. They all gotta go!  

PADA: When a famous CBS TV newslady interviewed me in 1986, she showed me footage her crew filmed at New Vrndavana -- of a huge "Jaya Bhaktipada" kirtan. And he was sitting on a big seat covered with the hands of -- maybe two dozen boys. And she said, before we start I have to ask, "is this pedophile heaven"? I said "yep it is." And she said -- thank goodness we met you, none of the other several hundred people we interviewed agreed, at least one of you Hare Krishnas sees what is going on. 

So people see what they want to see. She also said, many of the mothers at New Vrndavana had totally different looking kids which means, these women were "passed around" to different men. I said yep, very possible, that is what happened to Sulochana's wife. Later on "People Magazine" used a cover photo of Kirtanananda sitting on his seat with many boys, so they obviously saw the obvious. That newslady said, "if this was going on in my Church, I would go up there and pull that man off his seat all by myself, I would not care about my safety, I would not tolerate this. Why don't your people read the Bhagavad Gita? They are supposed to fight for justice. 

Yep, so if she could see what was what in about two seconds, anyone else could. In general, people see what they want to see, the emperor has fine clothes, or no clothes, depends on the sincerity of the viewer. She was sincere, she got it immediately. The kids were in a helpless condition, even if they figured it out, and many of them did, they were stuck. Experts in cults say, once people have invested in making the cult work, they tend to stick with it even when it becomes obvious there is a big problem with the leaders. It is standard cult psychology.

Krishnas Not Exempt from Russian Mobilization

PADA: Evidently some men are joining Hare Krishna, thinking that will exempt them from being called up to fight in Ukraine. Probably not going to work. 

When I was a young man, my friends were getting drafted to go to Viet Nam left, right and center. Thus one of my friends rented a samurai sword costume and two samurai swords, and he went to the army center and challenged the people there, "I will only fight for whomever can win a samurai fight with me." So he got out on a crazy man exemption, hee hee.

Meanwhile someone posted videos of some Russian big assembly factories and offices, even mechanics at the car repair shop, and all of the people in there are -- women. It looks like there is a man / manpower shortage. What happens when you get rid of so many men? 

Anyway I feel bad for the sincere Hare Krishnas in Russia. It has got to be a tough situation thinking they could get carted off in a bus off to fight a war, a war that they really have no interest in fighting. I saw another video of some Ukraine kids, maybe 15-18, some of them are young ladies, who make their own home fabricated drones and bombs. And they are out there every day near the front lines -- taking out Russian troops all day long, and now they are kitting up with night vision operations at night. These guys don't play around. 

They got real happy when the government said they would give them better little bombs. Personally, I would not want to be fighting with these guys, they are very clever and determined. One of them said, "living with the Russians is worse than being dead, we'd rather be dead than have to live with them." 

Hmmm, sort of reminds me what I said, living with the GBC's gurus is worse than being dead, hee hee. Anyway I wish for the best for all involved, the wheel of karma is relentless and like a never ending grinding wheel. In the end, no one escapes, unless they are fully surrendered to the Lord. And that is the whole idea, Krishna is trying to teach us a lesson here.

Krishna's devotees serve in the army and are subject to mobilization.
Explains the chief lawyer of GBC ISKCON Russia, Maha-Balarama Prabhu.
Today, many narrow-minded people want to join the ranks of devotees because there is a myth that they do not serve in the army. This myth has taken root in the minds of illiterate employees of the military registration and enlistment office and the entire public.

So step by step.

According to part 1. Art. 59 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, "protection of the Fatherland is the duty and obligation of a citizen of the Russian Federation." Mobilization is one of the forms provided for by law to ensure the fulfillment of this duty, when citizens in the reserve are called up for military service.

The Vaishnava creed does not prohibit military service. This is clear from our scriptures and Srila Prabhupada's instructions, and is also reinforced by ISKCON's many years of history and experience in many countries of the world, including Russia.

From the same experience, it is known that many Vaishnavas, due to their personal nature and beliefs, see military service as a primary duty in relation to their country and society. Such Vaishnavas, as a rule, have no questions about military service or mobilization, they fulfill mobilization orders or go to military service on their own initiative.

The confession of the Vaishnavism creed in itself is not yet a basis for deferment from military service.

The leadership of the GBC ISKCON Russia blessed Vaisnavas for the mobilization and military service.

Please be informed that the Government of the Russian Federation has opened a hotline for partial mobilization: 122. Also, up-to-date official information is posted on the website.
