The ISKCON Child Abuse Cover Up Etc. 05 28 25

PADA: Ooops, looks like all these issues are coming out one by one. Yah, where are the missing tapes?

PADA: All of these issues are connected. The child molesting issue, changing the books issue, the poison issue, and countless other deviations issues. Actually the poison issue is the root of all the other deviations. They got rid of Srila Prabhupada so they could introduce all their other bogus ideas.

In 1979 I was in UK challenging that we cannot worship a predator like Jayatirtha, or we will attract predators to the society. Why? Because we become what we worship. So predator worship will produce more of same, and will also produce sympathy for their agenda. I was booted out by the gang of four gurus for addressing this issue. 

Shortly after that, according to a report, predators began to operate in Croome Court UK. And the report was saying -- 4-5 years old children were being overcome with chloroform and mistreated. Then the issue finally surfaced and was too large to contain. So Bhagavan covered it up and had the children hypnotized to try to make them forget these incidents. 

However, the report goes on, the children were still very traumatized and still are traumatized -- even though they are adults now. "They never got any actual support but a lot of suppression." So they suffered their whole lives. That was merely the tip of the iceberg. 

Then I was helping a 1986 case in Dallas courts, which we won. Then, I was helping hundreds of kids gather testimony in the 1990s. And that formed the foundation of the 1997 $400,000,000 child mistreatment lawsuit. Kids were actually taking their own lives at that stage. And there was all sorts of trauma cases. 

The victims told me that there was actually several thousand cases, but the lawsuit had to be reduced to 500 cases. But many more wanted to sign up. So that means the VEDAS are correct, we become what we worship. And if we worship predators then there will be an influx of them, and a resultant tidal wave of mistreatment. 

And the girl who was going on "dates" with Ramesvara said she was being fully exploited. But adults knew something was off when Ramesvara would drop her off at the girls ashram at 4am, but they never did anything substantial except write "an internal report." And people knew about all sorts of other troubles in many gurukulas and especially Mayapur. But almost no one is ever prosecuted because, worship of predators creates sympathy for predators. And the people from Croome Court who reported this to me said, you are right, predator worship leads to predator influx and predator sympathy. ys pd

PADA: Yes prabhu, Mathura Pati / HKC Jaipur et al. have been promoting the cheer leaders of a criminal child abuse program that murders dissenters. I agree, that means they are just another GBC criminal defender program, same as what they promote. And that is why the GBC criminals send me links to their site -- the criminal pedophile lovers club have always opposed PADA. That is why we say they are "peas in a PADA," hee hee. No, they never send me any explanation. 

OK there is none! 

Yes, they are connected to HKC Jaipur folks who also told me that our helping save children from molesting "has no credibility" and "we need to listen to the cheer leaders of the molester messiah's project." And read from Bhavananda's bucket boy's writings. Helping save children from abuse has no credibility, but criminal molester messiah's program defenders are credible. Neine danke! 

Yes. They just cannot stop licking the jack boots of their homosexual and pedophile messiah's club cheer leaders. The same jack boots that stomp on children and us dissenters ...  This is the web site of the promoters of criminal child abuse and murder program's cheer leaders:

ISKCON Leadership and Child Protection

A Legacy of Deception, Fraud, and Betrayal

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has been haunted by child abuse scandals within its schools (gurukulas) and temples for decades. While the suffering of its most vulnerable members has been undeniable, the leaderships' response has been marked by negligence, deception, and outright fraud.

If you visited a friend’s house and saw the same kitchen tap leaking for three years, you'd rightly assume that fixing it isn’t a priority. The same logic applies here: ISKCON's failure to invest the resources required to protect the children reveals a chilling truth—protecting children has never been a priority for the leadership.

In the late 1990s, the $400 million Turley case lawsuit rocked ISKCON and threatened its very existence. Only then did the Governing Body Commission (GBC)—ISKCON's highest managerial authority—begin to publicly acknowledge the scope of the abuse.

But this was not an act of conscience. It was survival instinct.

The leadership created two entities:

• Children of Krishna: A non-profit offering small grants to alumni survivors.

• Child Protection Office (CPO): An internal body to process allegations of abuse.

These moves were framed as progress, but in reality, they were calculated efforts to ensure the survival of the institution and preserve its image. The CPO, despite its purported mission, often functioned as a public relations shield—a tool of damage control, rather than actually protecting children.

Institutional Interests Over Innocent Lives

The GBC has poured more time, money, and manpower into purging theological dissent—such as the Ritvik issue—than into rooting out child abusers. When it comes to the Ritvik issue, across the globe, every ISKCON temple enforces ideological conformity. But child safety? That remain inconsistent, underfunded, and politically fraught.

This glaring double standard reveals a disturbing truth: ISKCON leadership views theological nonconformity as more dangerous than the sexual abuse of children.

The Myth of Independence

Although ISKCON leaders insist that the CPO is independent, the GBC controls key appointments and ousts directors who prioritize justice over politics. In high-profile cases, senior leaders have intervened to shield friends—abusers—rather than support victims. This pattern of deception and manipulation exposes the CPO as a toothless, symbolic structure—meant more to appear just than to deliver justice.

In 2025, the GBC pushed out Kamlesh Krsna das—a trained child protection expert with a Master’s degree in Advanced Child Protection—and replaced him with lawyers lacking comparable child safety credentials and experience. The restructuring team included no child protection specialists and failed to consult long-serving staff.

These are not the actions of a sincere organization, but of one engaged in a long-running fraud.

The Case of Lokanath Swami: Power Protects Perpetrators

The most egregious example of ISKCON’s moral collapse is the case of Lokanath Swami. ISKCON News officially confirmed that he sexually abused an 11-year-old girl.

Yet instead of being removed, he was upheld as a Sannyasi and spiritual leader, a guru in a position of absolute authority over his disciples—with the endorsement of the GBC.

This sent a chilling message: In ISKCON, power protects predators. If you hold enough influence, you can get away with anything—even the sexual abuse of an 11-year-old girl.

This isn’t just moral failure. It’s systemic fraud masquerading as spiritual leadership.

The Root of the Problem: Absolute Power Without Accountability

The adage remains painfully relevant: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. ISKCON leadership operates with no meaningful checks, and the victims are left to suffer in silence while perpetrators are often protected, praised, or quietly reinstated.

GBC’s and the CPO's Key Failures Regarding Child Protection

1 False Independence

• The GBC claims the CPO is autonomous, yet handpicks and removes its directors.

• Political favoritism protects influential offenders.

2 Failure to Report Crimes

• Abuse is rarely reported to secular authorities.

• Offenders escape legal scrutiny and in some instances have continued to offend.

3 Reinstating Abusers

• Known abusers have returned to leadership positions under the guise of “repentance.”

• Example: the case of Lokanath Swami and the censure of Bir Krishna Maharaj over the mishandling of child protection matters, raise serious concerns about justice and credibility of the GBC body. The censure was disproportionately mild compared to the devastation his cover-up caused to the lives of the victims.

4 Punishing Whistle-blowers

• Victims and advocates face retaliation, isolation, and character assassination.

• ISKCON’s rigid hierarchy leaves them defenseless.

5 Spiritual Gaslighting

• Survivors are told to "forgive and move on"—weaponizing scripture to silence their pain.

• This tactic deepens trauma while masking institutional failure.

6 A History of Cover-Ups

• From the gurukula scandals to recent abuses, ISKCON’s response has been consistent: deny, delay, minimize and deceive.

• High-profile offenders often enjoy leniency; whereas victims are left to suffer in silence.

7    Inconsistent Rulings

• The CPO’s disciplinary measures have at times been inconsistent with some cases leading to lifetime bans while others resulting in mere warnings mainly due to the interference of GBC.

The Path Forward: Ending the Cycle of Fraud and Abuse

True reform means dismantling the culture of deception and instituting genuine accountability:

• True Independence: The CPO must be completely separated from ISKCON’s power structures.

• Transparency: All cases and rulings should be made public (while protecting victim identities) to ensure accountability.

• Zero Tolerance: There shall be zero tolerance against offenders/perpetrators and immediate action shall be taken against them. No perpetrator should hold any leadership position—regardless of their status.

• Mandatory Legal Reporting: ISKCON members and leaders need to introduce and normalize the culture of reporting every abuse allegation to secular authorities without exception.

• Support for Survivors: Trauma counseling, financial aid, and community protection must be guaranteed.

• Whistle-blower Protections: Advocates and survivors should be protected, not punished.

• Root Out Corruption: ISKCON must acknowledge and dismantle the internal culture that has enabled this decades-long fraud.

Conclusion: Time to Choose Integrity Over Image

ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission has betrayed the children entrusted to its care and failed to be the guiding moral conscience of the Society. Its track record is one not merely of neglect, but of deliberate cover-up, fraud and deception—protecting abusers while spinning the narrative of reform.

Without radical transparency, real independence, and moral courage, ISKCON and the CPO will continue to fail its most vulnerable members. The time for cosmetic changes is over.

It is up to survivors, reformers, and sincere devotees to demand more than apologies and hollow promises. Only with truth, justice, and accountability can ISKCON hope to reclaim any spiritual credibility—and finally become the safe, sacred space it was meant to be.

“The cover-up doesn’t work when everyone knows you’re lying…"

Hello, Mr. ISKCON GBC man, your lies and cover-ups have been exposed and your days are numbered...
1. Srila Prabhupada was poisoned by caretakers that started your crazy self-appointed bogus guru regime
2. And these poisoners hijacked ISKCON in March 1978
3. With a lie that they were appointed as successor zonal acharyas
4. Which destroyed ISKCON, and you, the GBC, later even admitted there was no appointment after all
5. But then, to extend the lifespan of your deviant, cheating guru franchise business, the GBC then concocted an unprecedented no-objection, vote-approval scheme to rubber-stamp anyone as a diksha guru
6. And out of 150 such ISKCON "diksha gurus," 70% have publicly, unquestionably "fallen down" and the rest are just cheating and fooling people with their phony guru-bhakti and polished charisma
7. Many were exposed as homosexuals, pedophiles, mentally deranged, sahajiyas, impersonalists, eccentric, narcissists, psychos, egomaniacs, showbottles, and the list goes on and on...
8. The GBC covered up and denied the mounting clear evidence of Srila Prabhupada's poisoning, the child sexual and physical abuse, and the guru-sannyasi-GBC scandals... protecting their own just like the Mafia and Cosa Nostra do... ISKCON is today a criminal enterprise- do not patronize it!
9. They have approved of reckless, insidious, and endless changes to Srila Prabhupada's sacred books, refusing to honor or even listen to the rising swell of devotee anger over this crime and offense
10. The GBC demonizes anyone who opposes the injustices and cover-ups they perpetuate and panders to sycophants and supporters of their diseased deviated regime
One day soon, this demented ISKCON GBC good old boy's club will be history (as in gone, dead, found only in historical writings).
Let us pray to Lord Narasimha that such a day comes sooner. Lies and cover-ups only last as long as those lied to and fooled participate in these grave offenses against the pure devotee Srila Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya, Senapati Bhakta, Current-Direct link to the parampara, Living leader of the Sankirtan Movement.
ISKCON GBC's credibility and support wanes more each day as the truth becomes established about their deviations, crimes, falsehoods, corruption. Let us keep at it with the facts, level-headed philosophy, and the truth. Hare Krishna. Jaya Prabhupada!
