[PADA: The ISKCON folks are now hiding (making private) the initiation ceremony video made of their pedophile messiah at Alachua Florida ISKCON. Wow, they think hiding their video will make all this go away?
Hee hee, nope, just adds to the suspicion that something evil is going on, and is being covered up. And furthermore, confirms the suspicions of others who are already convinced something evil is going on here. Child molesters are not, were not, could not have been -- God's successors. Not sure why anyone would not know that already. ys pd]
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This is a video of child molester Lokanath Swami initiating a child at the Alachua ISKCON temple (largest ISKCON community in North America) in 2019, while the community cheered him on. In the video, Lokanath says to the temple president Mukhya before she made a speech, “You demanded that I come.”

In Mukhya’s speech, she praises the female initiate for being “chaste” while she is getting initiated by a self-admitted child molester.
Mukhya says to the child initiate (12:02), “You’ll be a good example for your brother, and for all your friends at school. This is something that everyone in our gurukula will see is happening and say, I want this for my life also."
In 1993, CAP Behavior Associates evaluated Lokanath and "strongly suggested" that he never be alone with a woman or child - not because he was a sannyasi, these were professionals, unaffiliated with ISKCON - but because of what he might do to the woman or child. (Portion of that psychiatric report at the bottom:
https://lokanath.net/gbcs-untruthful-account-of-incident-february-1999 )
In 1990, the same year Lokanath sexually abused a child, the ISKCON GBC resolved:
"e) Any confirmed child abuser may never again serve in association with children in any ISKCON project. The Board will also make available to all ISKCON educational projects and temples the names of all accused, admitted, confirmed or convicted child abusers."
https://gbc.iskcon.org/1990
Except… Lokanath’s name was never added to the list of abusers. Badrinarayan said in 1998, “I just cannot see listing his name along with all the other offenders.”
https://lokanath.net/emails-showing-gbc-members-blocked-cpo-investigation-of-lokanath-in-1998
After the GBC was done investigating Lokanath in 1993, his name was never added to the list of abusers that the ISKCON Child Protection Office keeps, even though he was a confirmed child abuser. For the last 24 years, the GBC has been blocking their own ISKCON Child Protection Office from handling the Lokanath case.
Per the GBC Resolution above, Lokanath falls into the category of “confirmed child abuser serving in association with children.” Not just serving, but giving spiritual guidance to a child, formally accepting the child as his disciple. The GBC resolved that confirmed child abusers can not serve with children. So how is it that Lokanath is initiating a child? ISKCON leaders are endorsing behavior that goes exactly opposite of what they have written into their Resolutions. ISKCON leadership is endorsing a self-admitted child molester as an initiating guru.
From the same 1990 GBC Resolution, "The Board will also make available to all ISKCON educational projects and temples the names of all accused, admitted, confirmed or convicted child abusers." Lokanath falls under the "admitted" category, as he has admitted to GBC members, other ISKCON leaders, the Child Protection Office, some of his disciples, and various other devotees that he sexually abused a child. This is Lokanath’s letter of admission from 2010:

In another GBC Resolution, from 2018 (the year before Lokanath initiated a child in Alachua):
“No person, who has been determined to have engaged in severe maltreatment of children, will be allowed to remain active in a position of authority or trust within ISKCON, this includes activities such as leading kirtan, giving class, speaking publicly at any ISKCON event or representing ISKCON in official capacities.”
https://lokanath.net/why-were-the-gbc-resolutions-not-followed-with-lokanath-swami
Lokanath sexually abused a child which is considered severe maltreatment of a child. According to this GBC Resolution, he should not have any authority or trust in ISKCON as a leader - no leading kirtan, no giving class, and no speaking publicly at any ISKCON event.
If the GBC had followed through with their promise to Lokanath’s victim in 1994 - that Lokanath would never have held a prominent position in ISKCON again - we would not be here right now.
In 2010, Lokanath’s victim wrote:
“I hated him when I had to see him in public. And to see that this was his punishment? Being given articles to write in BTG, being given accolades as a guru, getting all the priveleges of a sannyasi-- this was what his punishment was??”

The GBC did not keep their promise and have lied to the victim, compounding the abuse for 30 years.
At the same time in 2019 that Lokanath was touring North America, New Jersey expanded its statute of limitations for civil sexual assault cases, making it possible for Lokanath to be sued for sexual assault against a child.
Lokanath initiated a child as his disciple, while open to being sued for sexual assault against a child. https://njcasa.org/find-help/civil-statue-of-limitations/
The original video was titled “Lokanath Swami’s Youngest Disciple Ever!” and had over 2,400 views before it was changed to Private on February 1, 2022.

Bhakta Jojo: First of all ... there was the cover up. Then ... the cover up of the cover up. Then ... the cover up of covering up the cover up. Then ... the cover up of the cover up of the covering up of the cover up. Damn!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is why they say ... when first you deceive ... what a tangled web you weave ... and weave and weave. This web is now so tangled ... none of them probably even remembers who said what and when anymore ... they could not even keep track of all their lies, changes, flip flops and reversals here.
We said that? Oh no really.
What happened to brahmanas being honest? I forgot ... they are on the transcendental plane ... no rules apply to them anymore. They cannot admit that their gurus ... are not gurus. Or the whole house of cards crashes down on top of them. They have to keep their big guru lie going ... because it is now the official business livelihood.
They have no other way to live because ... crooks do not know any other way to live other than ... to be crooks. They cannot survive in normal life. I feel bad for them. Everyone is cursing at them ... and by now ... they know it. It is hard to live a cursed life when most people hate your guts ... and hope you will just leave us ASAP.
In the end ... they are liars and cheaters. We all know and they all know it. The crooks can take over everything in Kali Age ... but that does not save them from the reaction in the next life. A lot of them are getting reaction already in this one.
All this trouble ... just because they wanted to make a crotch grabber into their guru. It seems like going through an awful amount of trouble ... to protect that activity. No one else would go to all these extremes ... to protect this type thing ... clearly they are twisted people. Now they are stuck ... they invested in this and they have to save the investment ... at the expense of everyone else.
A lady told me ... this is the worst precedent for a spiritual society anywhere ... it is the nail in ISKCON's coffin. She is right. They are spiritually dead ... and now it is official.
CMD: If we want to surrender to Krishna ... we have to accept a person who is expert in the topic of Krishna. And if we want to surrender to criminals ... who are experts at being constantly engaged in covering up their crimes ... we become one of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is what ISKCON has become ... a giant cover up for criminals program. No wonder it is an empty shell of its former self. When I compare photos of our packed temple in the 1970s to now ... now looks like an empty and dead left over. And Jayapataka looks like a dead and empty left over ... as well. And he is the leader of this disaster.
Lots of people say the same thing. "It's dead." And their living gurus ... killed it ... because there is no one else to blame ... they are the officers in charge managers of this killing of the movement. Such bad karma is hard to imagine ... but they do not even care ... they do not believe in Krishna, the next life, karma, none of that, they have to be dead conscience atheists.
