Kailasa / Kali Yuga and Narayana Maharaja / ISKCON Spousal Abuse 01 06 24

PD: Wow the Kailasa guys seem to have really gone off into the ozone layer. 

A: Anyone who listens to Bhaktipada and his Berkeley followers is supporting a pedo guru and a big fat liar. 

B: Therefore, Kailasa exclusively and only accepts the version of Bhaktipada and his Berkeley [liar's club] followers and not the version of Puranjana. 

C: As an added bonus authority, Kailasa also only accepts the version of Bhavananda's bucket boy Hari Sauri and not Puranjana.

D: Therefore, Kailasa only accepts what he calls liars and sacks of manure who support pedo pooja -- as his authority -- according to -- Kailasa. Kailasa only accepts lying sacks of manure who support pedo pooja as his authority, according to -- himself? 

E: Is someone not taking their meds?

KALI YUGA AND NARAYAN MAHARAJA 

PD: Thanks. Good example. Maharaja Pariksit was not saying that we should worship Kali Yuga as a parampara successor to Krishna and a guru. He was not helping Kali write position papers to help his empire. He was not associating Kali with Krishna's "rasika." He was not maligning the people who criticized Kali Yuga. He was not defending the people who had to be sued for mass child mistreatment. He was not inviting people over to discuss the deviations of Kali Yuga, and then refusing to meet the people he invited over like NM does. 

He was not saying that people who criticized the actions of Kali Yuga, like us, are bogus critics of the great "dear Tamal tree of Radharani." As soon as Tamal lectured over and over, "my two favorite people on the planet are Srila Narayana Maharaja and Srila Bhavananda Maharaja," everyone should have seen that as a giant red flag. Bhavananda has been the leader of the Mayapur empire since forever, and in fact he is still a prominent advisor there now, and his "enforcers" are all over the place there now. 

Therefore the perps, and the enablers of the perps, are a dangerous combination. So we need to bring people to a higher standard. And the higher standard is, children need to be protected IN ALL CASES and not the leaders of Kali Yuga child mistreatment regimes and their Kali empire. And then after the fact, we should not go to hug Kali's perp gurus, and call us whistle blowers the deviants like Narayan Maharaja has been. 

Maharaja Pariksit never did anything like that. And in the end, after we finally get them to admit they are serving Kali, then NM says "well so what, the children just had their karma." We cannot blame the victims of Kali's activities to justify the actions of Kali. 

So we should help people understand Lord Chaitanya's movement, and His movement is, do not allow His little Vaishnavas to suffer under any justification, and do not support the people causing any little Vaishnavas to suffer, that is very sinful. And creating a condition where I am being advised to wear a Kevlar vest is also very sinful. So when I have to rely mainly on law enforcement, courts, the FEDS, the media and secular society to help me, while these "saints" are helping my opponents and the leaders of a mass child mistreatment regime, good question, how does that look to the general populace that we are trying to preach to? 

Now I am going into another big huge mass media production and they ask the same question, why was this regime supported when clearly, it should not have been supported? That means, the average Kali Yuga citizen can see the defect of supporting the modus operandi and actions of Kali. We have to give them a better example if we want to convince them we are right. And we have to save children from being victims always and at all times because that is our duty to Krishna before we have any other duty. ys pd

PD: OK that has been the trouble all along. I am in Texas having Tamal sued for the mass child mistreatment. Narayan Maharaja is is Texas defending Tamal, and he was in fact shouting at my associates for challenging Tamal, the "dear Tamal tree of Radharani." I am sorry but the Berkeley law enforcement told me -- anyone who opposes you is enabling all sorts of crimes, including child mistreatment. 

Child mistreatment is a crime, it needs to be addressed. Anyone suppressing us from addressing it -- is enabling the problem. And that is why Narayan Maharaja invited me to his ashram, but then refused to meet me. He could not answer why he has been acting as a cheer leader for the Tamal regime, helping them write position papers, helping their "rasika" program, and helping them suppress us by calling us bogus complainers etc. Sorry, we have the authority of common Krishna consciousness morality to address these things. But we had success in spite of him. 

We had the regime he was cheer leading sued, and many victims got some compensation, and hundreds of kids were pulled out of their schools -- once people became aware of the problem, thanks to us. It is not Vaishnava aparadha to address mass child mistreatment, it is Vaishnava aparadha to thousands of Vaishnava children if we fail. NM did not want to see me, because he was in a hurry to go and hug one of the perps, Kirtanananda swami, who was having his goons hunt me down to tereminate me. 

And I was ONLY saved by the FEDS tapping their phones. That is also the result of NM supporting them, he is enabling this. I need a kevlar vest to deal with the regime NM is cheer leading, but the problem is, the children had nothing to protect them, they were totally defenseless against the regime, and its cheer leading assistants who were enabling the regime. Now there is a "swamis who are exploiters problem" in his own Matha, and it is the same thing, whistle blowers are being suppressed. I spoke with one of them for 2.5 hours just now -- and they explained how his program is a copy of the GBC program, because it is the GBC program, exploiters posing as swamis. 

And this person was treated badly for blowing the whistle, this pattern has to stop. The Vaishnava aparadha issue is the lesser etiquette, the child mistreatment issue is the higher etiquette, and that means, the lesser etiquette should be retired and the higher etiquette needs to be forwarded. ys pd

This is what Charles Manson argued, "I did not harm anyone personally." OK but you enabled and encouraged a situation where many people were harmed. If anything, the enablers and cheer leaders are perhaps worse than the perps, because they stick a happy face on the situation. And this is also why Sulochana called them "the velvet glove on the iron fist." Yeah, you did not harm anyone personally, but the system you helped orchestrate -- has done harm. ys pd

ISKCON and SPOUSAL ABUSE

In response to the attached post. In my personal circumstances when my husband abused me for over 8 years, I approached the devotees for help but they didn’t believe me. Some told me that I had a responsibility as a Vaisnav wife to support and stand by my husband under all circumstances and not cause problems no matter what he does.

I was also constantly threatened by him and he closely watched my every move so it was mental fear of what he might do if I tried contacting the police. He had full control of my bank account, he had my passport and told me many times if I tried to report him to authorities, he will have me killed. All this made me fearful and isolated.

It’s not easy to run. He controlled how much I ate, to the point where I was only allowed to eat whatever he leftover … sometimes that meant I would have to skip meals for days. I was bone thin, my memory and decision making was awful as I was so underweight. He also never allowed me to speak with my family, whenever they called he would tell them everything was fine but I wasn’t home, even though I was right in front of him. 

When we were around devotees, I had to smile and look happy, if I didn’t praise him and say happy things, he would beat me to a pulp when we got home. I had to hide bruises and scars or it would infuriate him.

He was a well known and respected preacher, he also performed many wedding ceremonies and everyone loved his classes. So he had a very good reputation at face value, but behind closed doors, he hated devotees, he would say horrid things behind their backs, he smoked weed and drank alcohol with his childhood friends and then did unspeakable things to me afterwards.

He always said that working was beneath him, he only wanted to perform yajnas, give classes and do house programs. Congregation members would give him large donations for simply just showing up. The temple would give him a small salary for being a preacher … not much as he only went out performing his duties maybe once or twice a week … but whatever money he got he spent on weed. 

So I had to work full time, but all money earned would go into an account he controlled. I had no access. I also had to perform temple service most days (mangala aarti sweets and Deity cooking). And even though he spent most of his time at home studying books on the occult (he was more interested in Aleister Crowley than in Srila Prabhupada’s books) I had to perform my household duties and serve my husband.

Eventually when I started asking devotees for help, nobody believed me. All these years I portrayed myself as happy and content, why am I suddenly saying these things about such a wonderful preacher they have trusted and respected all these years.

I was sexually assaulted many times, but was given quotes from Srila Prabhupada by male devotees that all women like to be raped and so I must do too, and that women should be treated like dogs and beaten into submission as well as a wife it was my duty to please my husband’s demands whether I liked it or not. 

The beatings became worse and he would choke me until I fell unconscious. This all lead to multiple miscarriages but he didn’t allow me to seek medical help either. Once I began to miscarry during a Sunday program, and he quickly rushed me home and I stayed in the bathroom in agony for hours while he went back to the temple.

After 8 long years of abuse, I was going to take my life. Nobody believed me or wanted to get involved. I couldn’t go to the police, I had no evidence, I had zero family in this country, I had nothing. What was the point in living anymore. But for some reason I was terrified what if I tried suicide but didn’t die, he would surely torture me far far worse. So I waited until he went to buy more weed one day. 

I didn’t take anything as I wanted to be quick, all I took with me was my Giri Govardhan shila and my bead hand and left the house.

I had nothing, no money, literally nothing. I slept in parks, under subways and just anywhere. I found a devotee house and begged them for help, but they refused saying I should go back to my husband. They didn’t want to get involved.
I went to another devotee house and they advised I should sell my Govardhan shila to make some money but I couldn’t stay there. 

I reached out to many devotees but the answer was always the same. I eventually went to the police but they would only help if I was going to make a formal case, if I had evidence etc. I had nowhere left. I begged for some change from passers by and then called the temple but they couldn’t offer any help, they put me in contact with the temple lawyer and he explained that the temple cannot get involved with devotee personal affairs.

I was basically abandoned by ISKCON.

By the Lord’s mercy a non devotee recognised me and offered to help. I was given a room and they arranged a part-time job for me. They gave me an allowance and they never once asked about my circumstances. Eventually I made a FB account and posted about my struggles, but that infuriated many devotees and I was harassed, many attacked me openly on those posts and others attacked me in private messages. Eventually I deleted my account (I deleted my Fb account several times).

For years I struggled with the trauma of what happened but I also found forgiveness. A very dear friend recommended I read a book called ‘The Four Agreements’. This changed my life, I no longer had resentment or felt like a victim anymore. I let go of all the pain. It took 10 years to finally get my husband to sign the divorce papers. 

I had to threaten that if he did not sign I was going to report everything to the police, including the weed farms he and his family managed all around England. I had that call recorded and sent to several people and told him if he did anything to hurt me they will send it to the police instead. I took control back.

Over that 10 year period he cleared my bank account, took out a huge bank loan in my name, he sold my house, forged my signature on the deed of sale and took all the profit, he stole all the income I made since I left him, but in 2023 I finally have my own account (with the help of this wonderful non devotee family). He has destroyed my reputation and relationships with devotees saying that I was the one abusing him and that I was the one practicing witchcraft and that I was using drugs. Somehow everyone believed him again.

However, I recently met up with his guru, Jayadvaita Maharaj and He said he felt deeply sorrowful and apologised for all that I’ve been through. He also mentioned that he received a very hateful letter from my ex-husband. Apparently he is no longer a practicing devotee. His mother recently called me in desperation asking me to call and help him because the police are looking for him, he’s been on the run after the police raided their weed farm.

I do feel sorry that he lost his way. Maharaj did say that he strongly advised him not to get married but he was determined to. I never really knew him before we got married at all, he arranged our marriage with the temple president where I was staying at the time while he was travelling with his godbrother Kadamba Kanana swami in South Africa. I didn’t ask questions and went ahead with it. I had no idea it would turn out this way.

So to answer the questions in the attached post, abuse is a very complex situation, the temple authorities don’t always know what to do and police can get involved if the victim speaks up and has evidence. But this isn’t always the case, many times the abused is coaxed to keeping quiet or threatened with their life. Sometimes by the time they do go to the police they don’t have evidence to support their case.

Not many ask for help at all and many don’t get the help they need. Suicide is an untold truth that happens as a consequence. Some devotees leave the movement entirely and then there are those that live with it in silence.

I responded to the questions posed in this post. I hope I have not offended anybody. Hare Krishna.
