PTD: Hansadutta told me -- "The Windle Turley lawsuit was fully necessary because ISKCON is too dysfunctional to handle these matters. We needed the outsiders to come in and deal with the children being abused ... because ISKCON would never solve the problem on their own.
"I have my own problems ... but at least I know we cannot allow children to be abused. I have my own children now and I know what it takes to bring them up in a safe place.
"Look at all the expense of all their GBC meetings ... millions of dollars spent on travel to these meetings, and child care committees, and then ... nothing ever gets done. Except they spend a lot of money.
"Someone else had to intervene. Even when the court was involved ... they still kept many of the abusers around ... because they do not know how to manage anything, and they never learn. And the bottom line is ... they just don't care about caring for children. And maybe they never will."
KD: Reformers often become the thing they hate most. ISKCON devotees joined ... supposedly ... to get away from institutional bogus religions. And then they became the worst examples of it.
The reformers ... who want to preserve the corrupt mission ... are the corrupt mission. My experience is ... most devotees are not neutral ... they will openly take down anyone making a real reform.
Only saving grace is ... most normal people are against child abuse and they will help keep it controlled in ISKCON ... if the devotees won't. Hansadutta is right. The devotees are too dysfunctional to fix anything ... they need outside help.
They are too fallen and corrupt to fix anything themselves. And when they try to fix things ... then they just try to cover up and preserve the corruption ... and they make the situation far worse rather than improve anything. I have seen that happen many times over with ISKCON.
PADA: Yep. That is basically what happened with Naranarayan / Sanat / Mukunda / Prahlad / HKC Jaipur folks etc. They set out to reform ISKCON, then they started working with Radhanath's cheer leaders and Bhavananda's bucket boys. In other words, the reformers became part of the corrupt program they intended to reform. They became what they supposedly hated.
The good news is that right now there is a tidal wave of people agreeing with PADA, and many victims are coming forward to express appreciation for our exposing the system of their abusers. And they are writing favorably to us and so on.
In sum, defending child abuse cults is simply not defensible. Hansadutta woke up somewhat after he had his own kids, then he realized how much trouble it is to keep them protected and so on. That means, he should have just had kids from the get go -- and he would have figured this out sooner rather than a few decades later, after his program had already damaged hundreds of other people's kids.

Nityananda dasa:
Some appreciations from readers of the Personal Ambition series' books:
*** I have started reading your books and already I am astonished at the density and phenomenal impact of your work. Truly you have done a magnificent service to Srila Prabhupada and to all sincere devotees of Krishna. Thank you so much for your effort and dedication. I will write again when I have made some leeway into your magnum opus.
These books are excellent in so many ways. First of all they explain the history of ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada’s original movement as he wanted it and then they document in great detail what went wrong with massive deviations, and finally how we can correct these problems. A must read for any serious devotee.
*** I've recently finished your book "ISKCON Hidden History" and found it very informative. The level of research you have undertaken is impressive. It seems as you have read everything even remotely affiliated to the subject. I'd like to thank the Truth Committee's effort in bringing these subjects to light. They will be highly appreciated when the day comes for reform of the GBC & Kali-cela "guru" situation.
*** I’m writing to thank you for the amazing service and investigative work you are rendering to Srila Prabhupada and his divine mission! The two Srila Prabhupada’s Hidden Glories hardcover books made a big impression on me, to say the least. It was tough to read at first but one who is sincere about Srila Prabhupada and his mission can’t help but reach these obvious conclusions. I didn’t become a devotee until 2005 so I missed all that came before that and it was certainly eye-opening to read the history of all that was hidden from the rank-and-file devotees. I admire your courage in standing up to the corruption in ISKCON.
*** I have finished the first volume of Hidden Glories and find it excellent from so many perspectives. Thank you and the team of associates involved. It serves as a true history of actual events that needed to be recorded correctly.
*** I've been meaning to write and express my gratitude for everything you've done to expose those 'insiders' who conspired to murder of our dear most well-wisher, Srila Prabhupada. We've recently completed Volume-2 of the Personal Ambition Series... which was a total mind-blower.
Exactly how many personal sacrifices you have endured on your journey to expose those insider miscreants is practically incomprehensible to us average aspirant devotees. Also, immense gratitude to all the sincere souls who contributed to this work who also accepted many personal difficulties over the past decades, remaining genuine and honest in this regard. The wealth of personal first-hand testimonies provide irrefutable evidence of foul play, to say the least. And your use of repetition, presented within new contexts throughout, is powerful and brilliant. Thank you!
*** The books have arrived, two large volumes. Thank you for all your invaluable work and for organizing this nice gift. I'll be sharing with all the devotees in our community.
*** Love the two books and can't thank you enough. The world will never be able to thank you enough for the huge amount of efforts you are making to rid Srila Prabhupada's movement of Kali's agents. History will be indebted to you. It has been scientifically and conclusively proven that Tamal was speaking of the poison. The old saying "caught red-handed" certainly applies here. Gradually, this truth will reach hundreds of devotees in the Philippines who are still bamboozled.
