ISKCON Patna alleged "rape of minors" vs Tej Pratap Yadav
PADA: Oh oh pilgrims. The story I got so far is -- the temple president of ISKCON Patna has allegedly been a predator of young girls, also allegedly -- one of whom was only 8 years old. He has also been alleged to have stolen money from ISKCON.
This Pratap Yadav fellow tried to get the police involved, and they somehow failed to investigate (they were paid off?). Then some of the temple brahmacaris started to ask about all this, and the temple president sent a gang of violent goons to attack the brahmacaris, which was made into a VIOLENT FIGHT video that went viral, and is now all over the mass media in INDIA.
OK the upshot is that the GBC guys were never good at managing, especially managing keeping out predators and deviants infiltering ISKCON. And the situation has just got worse after 1977 because they KICKED OUT all of us WHO WERE ACTUALLY MANAGING the society, and who were keeping an eye out for predators.
OK so now the complainants are going to go to Mayapur to ask the management why this is going on. You mean they are going to talk to Jayapataka, the ring leader of the predators and gangsters process? I don't see who is even there to take up managing this issue?
Who is actually in charge of this circus?
As one victim of abuse told me, writing to the GBC is like writing to Santa Claus or the tooth fairy, there is no actual person there to respond, and so -- you'll never get a response. Or worse, you'll be placed on a list of snitches and trouble makers, and you will be driven out of the society.
All this is the result of purging out the sincere and good devotees, and bringing in the crooks, criminals, predators, rats, dogs and riff raff. The like minded brought in more like minded. There are some sincere people sprinkled in here and there, but they do not have any actual say on these issues, obviously!
So now we have an out of control media storm, and where are all the big shot former leaders like Ravindra swarup, Mukunda, Ramesvara, Satsvarupa, Giriraja, Jayapataka, Harikesh, Bhagavan, Mahatma -- and all the other hundreds of guys who made this giant mess, and then sneaked off the radar? And more of the GBC resigned this year at Mayapur. We made this mess, so now we are outta here! Bye bye suckers, we made our stolen booty loot and now we are gone.
Yep, they made a big mess and then basically exited stage right, leaving ISKCON vulnerable to all sorts of exploiting, bad media, and having hardly any actual capable or sane persons in charge for the most part. because they KICKED ALL OF US OUT and replaced us with these low life predators and crooks.
As Hansadutta said, the idea that the GBC will "manage" the acharyas was never going to work at any point. These alleged acharyas won't bother listening to GBC managers, and there will be anarchy, chaos, exploiting, embezzling, and potentially -- much worse crimes. And then BAD MEDIA. Meanwhile Basu Ghosh is trying to get this dubious lot to take over managing Bangalore, when they cannot even manage a paper bag in the first place.
Anyway pilgrims, we predicted things will get much worse before they get better, because the ISKCON ship will become more and more rudderless. And thus more exploiters will filter in, because there are no sane folks managing the vetting process for managers or gurus etc., and that seems to be the case.
"For the second time, Tej Pratap Yadav is making serious allegations against the ISKCON Patna temple. In June 2022, he also claimed that the four temple officials, Krishna Kripa Das, Hariprem Das, Harikesha Das, and Pramod, raped a minor. In his live social media address, he called for the arrest forthwith of all the four administrators. The alleged abuse, says Yadav, was of an eight-year-old child and no action had been taken by the authorities so far."
Tej Pratap Yadav Raises Exploitation Issue at Patna ISKCON Temple, Levels Shocking Allegations Against President.
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav, who is the son of RJD president Lalu Yadav, has levied alarming accusations against Krishna Kripa Das, the head of ISKCON Patna, charging him with grave misbehavior and taking advantage of the temple.

Tej Pratap Yadav Viral Video: Former Bihar minister and elder son of RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav has set a full-scale controversy abuzz by leveling allegations against the temple president of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) Patna, Krishna Kripa Das. On Wednesday, Tej Pratap Yadav released a video via his social media account, making serious allegations against the temple president, regarding an incident of assault that occurred at the temple on October 6.
The Viral video, which was aired by Tej Pratap Yadav on X, captures Patna ISKCON Temple president with a woman, further fueling Yadav’s allegations against the misconduct of the temple president. (We are not attaching the video as it is objectionable.)
Condemning the alleged assault by RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav in his social media post, he said, “The incident which has taken place in ISKCON Patna is very unfortunate and condemnable - the temple president and some devotees have done the work of hurting the faith and dignity of the devotees.”
He also claimed that it was an old political practice of manipulation being done by the ISKCON authority and had his earlier warnings been heard, then this situation may have been avoided.
Ever since, he’s been raising issues regarding the Patna ISKCON temple. “Even minor girls are being sexually exploited and other immoral activities were taking place inside the temple,” Tej Pratap Yadav had charged, pointing fingers at even the president and many of its members. His calls for action, demanding the immediate intervention of both the government and ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission, speak to the seriousness of his charges. Yadav demanded that those who are responsible for the “heinous acts” be removed from their posts and brought under the law.
In Tej Pratap Viral Video he said, “Last year too we had raised the issue of how exploitation is happening in the ISKCON temple… Krishna Kripa Das stays behind the Lord in the temple and pretends to apply sandalwood and Tilak. When this issue was raised, Krishna Kripa Das ordered lathi - charge on the boys who were learning about spirituality in the ISKCON temple, which is reprehensible.
We will try to contact their headquarters which is located in Mayapur and we want to say that the Patna ISKCON president should be removed from here… POCSO Act has been applied earlier also but no action was taken. Action should be taken against the person who is committing misdeeds in the name of religion and he should be expelled from the ISKCON temple.”
What Was The Matter
The ISKCON temple located on Buddha Marg in Patna has been in the news. In fact, on Sunday night, two groups of priests clashed with each other in the premises of the ISKCON temple (Patna ISKCON Temple). During this, there was a fierce fight and many people were injured. An objectionable video of this entire episode has also been released from the official X handle of Tej Pratap Yadav.
Previous Claims of Sexual Abuse in 2022
For the second time, Tej Pratap Yadav is making serious allegations against the ISKCON Patna temple. In June 2022, he also claimed that the four temple officials, Krishna Kripa Das, Hariprem Das, Harikesha Das, and Pramod, raped a minor. In his live social media address, he called for the arrest forthwith of all the four administrators. The alleged abuse, says Yadav, was of an eight-year-old child and no action had been taken by the authorities so far.
As such, the controversy could then be dragged into the ISKCON headquarters at Mayapur when Yadav demanded them to intervene in the issue. These allegations have taken a serious turn, especially for the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses) Act, and are now calling for an elaborate investigation and punishment for the offenders for these victims.
This evolving case could be said to reflect deeper concerns concerning immorality in religious institutions and strongly emphasizes accountability and transparency in faith-based organizations.

LD: Oh for F*! sakes. They are going to go to Mayapur ... to find out who can fix this? Mayapura mangers CAUSED all this, and a lot more problems! A lot of the people managing ISKCON are disciples of JAYAPATAKA.
And they do not know HE is the source of these problems. And because they worship him, they become the problem's servants. This is like a dog chasing its own tail, and it goes nowhere. They need to get out of the circle of ANY GBC managers, who CANNOT manage. Unfortunately they don't know this very much in INDIA.
Meanwhile this is making ISKCON look WORSE than it ALREADY is!
