PADA: Yes, I was told "not to criticize" and was booted out in 1979. So then I had to have Tamal sued for child mistreatment for $3,000,000 in 1986. And then I had to help have the entire society sued for $400,000,000 for the same problem in 1997. And then I helped the $20,000,000 Bangalore lawsuit with documents [which is still ongoing and is costing more millions].
And I had to help have the BBTI sued for doctoring the books, another few $1,000,000. Overall, the Jayapataka people complained to me that I am more expensive than the TOVP building, and dealing with me has cost them $100,000,000.
So all this happened for one simple reason, they would not listen. And they collectively decided that spending $100,000,000 is superior to listening. Nevermind their temples have to be populated by Bengali cooks and poojaris -- who leave as soon as they get their green cards. And what happened to almost all of the gurukula kids, who are now adults? Gone with the wind.
Even almost all of the children of the leaders have jettisoned ISKCON because, no one listens to them either. Sorry, hearing and listening is one of the principles of Vaishnava siddhanta. We need to hear, we need to listen, or we end up making ISKCON into a ghost town, as they have done by -- not listening.
And we do not need to be "gurus" to know right from wrong, even the mundane courts agreed with me because they understood the morality of our claims. And now various ISKCON child protection forums have sprung up, and I am contributing, and it is the same thing. These folks are banned from ISKCON and so they have to make independent programs, as I have had to.
Krishna is the supersoul everywhere. And He can enlighten anyone on what is right and wrong, and we should not try to overturn what He is directing. And if we do, it might cost us a lot of money and make our society into a discredited ghost town, as has happened.
I am being consulted on another mass media documentary, and it is always the same thing, they are simply aghast that people like me were booted out and the trouble makers got to stay, and create major troubles. ys pd

As posted by: Radha Madhava Dasa:
He just told me never to publish anything about him ever on the internet as people just criticize him. So I told him that, the first thing anyone does is that they search your name when they hear about you. Once you launch your book the first thing they will see is that article.
I told him that you have to have positive information out there to counteract the negative. So he gave me $2000 in cash and told me to take care of it.
That didn't work, so we engaged a hacker to try to take down the article, but that didn't work either.
So he engaged his entire congregation in Mumbai and around the world to create as many websites as possible, and their devotional service was to every day go to all the websites and click on the links and write glowing reviews.
When my sister approached him to tell him about the child abuse she underwent he covered it up and shut her down. I tried to speak to him about it, but he would not speak to me, even though I followed him around the entire world for a year.
It was later confirmed by other contacts that he was directly involved in abusing them.
I have since renounced any connection to him, and recommend anyone who has any interest in him to please do their research first. As far as Henry Doktorski's book goes, the cover and title are sensationalist and so it will end up being just a book for preaching to the choir and will not be accepted as being of value for people who actually need to hear the information inside of it.
I hope that he will consider changing his presentation at least on the cover so that it could be of more value for people who really need to hear it.
Hare Krishna Prabhu, and Merry Christmas Puranjana! Just saw your post about Radhanath's PR man. If you like, you may post this as a comment:
ReplyDeleteYes, Radha Madhava Filch very kindly allowed me to interview him for my 2018 book "KIlling For Krishna." Most of what he speaks here about his former guru Radhanah Swami can be found in "Killing For Krishna" on page 490.
Regarding my choice for the title and cover, of course my books have faults, and I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to date, 838 copies of "Killing For Krishna," and the Spanish and Italian editions, "Sicarios Por Krishna" and "Uccidere Per Krishna," have been sold on Amazon, and that doesn't include the hundred or two hundred copies I sold (or gave away) personally.
I have heard that some ISKCON leaders have told their disciples and followers NOT TO READ my books. Bhakti Vikasa Swami plainly says this in a video darshan. Others have said similar. I personally think changing the title and cover image will not change that. Judge ye not a book by its cover, I say.
Sincerely your servant,
Henry Doktorski
PADA: Thanks for that info. Yeah, various people wake up and sometimes realize they supported a bad regime, and they really get hit hard psychologically. You thought you were serving Jesus, but as it turns out, you were really serving Satan. Very devastating for a number of them.
One "enforcer" became my friend -- and he told me he had done "many dark deeds for the guru," ok maybe he had people taken out, and he eventually was having a mental breakdown. About one year after he talked to me, he took his own life and his body was found in his car.
So there are so victims many on so many levels here, it is mind boggling to think about it. Anyway this ex-Radhanath guy woke up and realized he was participating in a scam. Hopefully his testimony will save others from getting caught in the same net of illusion.
And thanks, Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. ys pd
