Sad Guru Brain Surgery / Ruby Franke Abuse Case 03 23 24

Sad Guru Requires Brain Surgery After Avoiding Treatment. 

 

PADA: Another feel good yogi, life coach, motivational speaker, very similar to the ISKCON's motivational speaker folks. As someone recently pointed out to PADA, many ISKCON "motivational speakers" -- or even some of their "acharyas" -- rarely mention Krishna, often do not have photos of Srila Prabhupada on their sites, or sometimes even pictures of Krishna. 

Seems like another similar scam. It does look like this guy is suffering a health crisis, which could be Krishna reminding him to slow down and realize you are still dependent on Me, the actual Lord. People have sent me links to his videos over the years -- where he seems to be saying different odd ball things -- and some of the time it almost sounds like what various ISKCON motivational speakers say. Well yup. 

So anyway, I do believe he is another fraud God man, and it is unfortunate that Krishna has to put the brakes on these types of guys with His own tricks, like making them have a health crisis. But as we see with ISKCON's fraud God men, even after suffering in so many ways, they often do not give up their false God man play acting. ys pd

PADA: Horrendous child mistreatment case. And guess what, "motivated by religious extremism." Who would have guessed that? "We have to beat Satan and Demons out of you, but we forgot to tell you, we are Satan's servants ourselves." 

Terrible justification. But this is similar to ISKCON's abuse process where the children have been treated badly. And in many cases the abusers have been thinking -- "we have the authority to mistreat these children. We are God's agents authorized to beat up these children." 

Sorry, they do not have that authority, and they are simply agents of Kali Yuga or Satan. The parallels in this story gave one ex-ISKCON victim "the chills and goosebumps." The only good news is, most people agree with PADA, they are not religious people, and yep -- they are monsters. ys pd

Ruby Franke Child Abuse Motivated By "Religious Extremism."

Prosecutors said that Franke and Hildebrandt were motivated by “religious extremism.”

“The women appeared to fully believe that the abuse they inflicted was necessary to teach the children how to properly repent for imagined ‘sins’ and to cast the evil spirits out of their bodies,” the Washington County Attorney’s Office said in a case summary.

The family became known for its popular and often controversial YouTube channel “8 Passengers,” where Franke documented her life with her husband, Kevin Franke, and their six children.

The channel had more than 2 million subscribers before it ended. Kevin Franke later filed for divorce after her arrest.

During her sentencing, Franke apologized to her children.

“I ... believed dark was light and right was wrong,” she said. “I would do anything in this world for you. I took from you all that was soft and safe and good.”

Hildebrandt said she hoped the children would be able to “heal physically and emotionally.”

“One of the reasons I did not go to trial is because I did not want them to emotionally relive the experience, which would have been detrimental to them,” she said. “My hope and prayer is that they will heal and move forward to have beautiful lives.”

Holi Festival

Today we are celebrating Holi but how many of us know the purpose of celebration? The word Holi came from the word Holika -- the sister of Demon king Hiranyakasipu -- who began to torture his sSon Prahlad for not accepting him as God Almighty -- the all powerful -- even though all the worlds had accepted him.

In whichever way he tried to torture and make his son accept his supremacy he could not succede and at last his sister Holika stepped in and revealed a plan. 

She has the boon from Shiva that she can't be destroyed by fire, so she will hold Prahlad tightly on a big pyre, and if fire is lit she will be safe because of the boon but Prahlad will be killed by fire.

But to utter shock of the Holika, Hiranyakasipu and spectators, the fire had engulfed and killed Holika -- burning her body in the flames -- but not even a small burn touched the body of little Prahlad. That event we are celebrating now but forgot the essence of the context why we are celebrating.

PADA: Moral of the story. Harming children will reap a bad result, now or later.
