Harivilas - Harry Terhanian

HARIVILAS excerpt ... "Harivilas: During our discussion, I made the point that there are sitting members of the GBC who are named defendants in the Turley case. If this ever goes to discovery, it may be established that these sitting members of acted exactly like Cardinal Law: irresponsibly move child molesters from one temple to another and facilitating their egregious crimes against our children.

[PADA: Thanks Harivilas. Your "letter to the GBC" is a legal statement by a GBC member of admission that it can easily be established that: (1) Prominent "sitting members" of the GBC have been (as they have all along?) avoiding discussion of the child molester issue (especially over the past year -- even after litigation over their "avoidance policy" has been launched), ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (2) Prominent GBC members such as Badrinranayana and Anuttama are "the strongest opponents" to any child molester policy changes ...more criminal negligence, nay, as you admit open virulent opposition to correcting the wrong policies; (3) The GBC policy resembles that of the corrupt Catholic Church, and some of the sitting GBC members are like Boston's Cardinal Law ...more evidence of criminal neglect; (4) A zero tolerance policy towards molesters cannot be established -- just like the Catholics could not do so either ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (5) All of the above causes "disillusionment with the leadership" and will cause people to leave ISKCON or they will even want to sue ISKCON ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (6) That the child molester guru lineage which contains homosexuals and pedophiles is still upheld in ISKCON by Harivilas and the GBC, and so on. Of course that the GBC has to rely on a person like Harivilas, who has bailed out a child molester himself, as their guardian of the molestation issue, is another symptom of grand criminal negligence?"

HARIVILAS DASA's "LETTER TO THE GBC"

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please distribute my letter to the GBCmembers and present it to the executive committee for this year's agenda. Please inform me when you are able to do this and hopefully there will be no problems. Your servant, Harivilas dasa.

I am sending you a letter I wrote last year concerning what I consider the two biggest issues facing our movement that have not been resolved in a satisfactory manner. My letter was ignored last year, therefore I am sending it again so that you may consider it with more attention. During the meetings last year the GBC did discuss one of my proposals, namely zero tolerance for child molesters. It was decided to send the proposal for vote by e-mail during the year. I do not think this has happened and it is very unfortunate.

-------------

[PADA: This is actually a good start and a big change of policy (and we hope also a change of heart) for Harivilas. For example, myself (the pada editor) personally told Harivilas in 1991, "Do not get involved in a current Berkeley child molestation case. The reason is that you (GBC) have a horrible track record of sympathizing with the molesters and interfering with justice. Therefore, do not do get involved in this case." We even told Harivilas more clearly, "Do not interfere with this case since we will personally have this case handled by the local Berkeley police."

Yet at the time, due to heavy influence from his GBC association, Harivilas could not help interfering malefically. He began to show sympathy for the molester, indeed, he eventually bailed the molester out of the local jail. Worse, he began attacking the credibility of the child who was molested -- just as we warned him -- in person -- to avoid doing. Nonetheless, despite Harivilas' then brave attempt to help the molester class and harass the victimized children class, the "Berkeley Child Welfare" counselors, the local District Attorney's Office, the Berkeley Police, and others, did not believe "the Harivilas version" of events.

The professionals concluded that the Harivilas team was speaking a lie. Rather, the professional authorities believed the child, and not the molester and his sympathizers like Harivilas, and they helped get justice. And as such, the molester in this Berkeley case was convicted of "felony child molesting" and he was sent back to jail. In short, the "karmis" are not always subject to foolish sympathy for "a devotee" who is really a molester wearing a bead bag as Harivilas and the GBC have been prone to doing. Later, Harivilas began to shout and scream at me on the phone, still insisting that the molester was innocent and that his bailing the molester out of jail was justified. And noitice, he did not scream at the molester? This is typical GBC "pattern" regarding child molestation, the exposer is attacked, the victim's testimony is nullified, and the molester is helped, moved, bailed out and so on.

We also warned Harvilas at the time that since he was placing photos of "gurus" on the Berkeley altar (of his pals like Trivrikrama, who was "voted in as guru" at the 1986 recoronation of a known homosexual pedophile guru) that he would eventually sympathize with molesters since: he was enforcing the worship of the GBC's child molester guru cult. "You become what you worship." Unfortunately, even now (in 2003) Harivilas still advocates the worship of his GBC's homosexual pedophile guru lineage, which by the way is also filled also with assorted heterosexual "disciple" molesters (Srila Prabhupada says this is the same as child molesters), and of course assorted embezzlers, drunkards, drug addicts, criminals, and even murderers. This is Harivilas' GBC's idea of: "links in a chain of gurus worshipped like Jesus," at least according to their GBC annual report documents. The GBC has many documents which say that these types of deviants are or were their gurus, that they gave initiations (they absorbed sins like Jesus) and so on and so forth, and none of these documents was ever retracted, they are still found on the GBC's web site. So Harivilas supports the party of authors of documents supporting these counterfeit Jesus'. Of course Harivilas has never answered our first question, how can members of a child bugger guru lineage "absorb sins like Jesus" in the first place? There is no answer.

Worse, even today Harivilas has the policy of allowing followers of Sridhara (founder of the 1936 homosexual guru deviation) such as Tripurari's clan, and followers of Narayana Maharaja et al. to be always lurking around the Berkeley temple, again: even today, since they have all endorsed the GBC's "enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles" regime. Indeed some of them have endorsed this "homosexuals are Vishnupadas (aka pure as Jesus)" policy since 1936, and this regime also orchestrated murders of dissenters and so on just like Harivilas' GBC pedophile guru regime has done. So it seems that if you support counterfeit Jesus, then you are welcome, whereas if you think Jesus is not a child bugger, Harivilas is disgusted with you? In fact an associate of ours says that Harivilas was recently screaming that the PADA editor is bogus, again, the reason is that we do not accept that child buggers are in the category of: gurus, God's successors, Jesus-like, Vishnupadas, etc. -- while his GBC has done so.

So these types of "worship of child molesters and deviants as gurus regimes" are always allowed in Berkeley by Harivilas, but if we go to Berkeley and say no, this Gaudiya Matha and GBC policy is wrong, rather, "Srila Prabhupada is the guru," and that "gurus are not homosexual pedophiles and murderers," Harivilas' dedicated troopers there will scowl and us and try to chase us away. Whereas, the endorsing of homosexual pedophile guru lineages and people like Trivrikrama with "recoronation of known homosexual pedophiles as Vishnupada -- guru certificates" are always welcomed in Harivilas' temples with open arms and loving embraces from Harivilas.

In sum, if one has a child bugger's and child raper's guru lineage certification, then Harivilas will fall off his chair and think that a sort of Jesus of Nazareth's "living representative" has walked in the door, whereas if one worships the real Jesus himself, Harivilas says, "This is bogus Christian idea"? Why worship the real Jesus when you can worship a nice certified child bugger or what Sulochana called "child raper" lineage "link" like Harivilasa's "new guru" Trivrikrama? So Harivilas has them all there, the worship of the founders of homosexual pooja like the deviant Gaudiya Matha folks, or the persons certified as guru with a homosexual pedophile guru lineage certification like Trivrikrama, and in sum the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles is Harivilas' real or apparent "religion," while again, he endorses the GBC who militantly harasses the worship of Srila Prabhupada. We have to worship Kamsa and not Krishna, the Pharisees and not Jesus, this story is older than the story of the ancient mariner.

Yet the good news is that Harivilas says he has gone full circle at least in one area, towards our policy in 1991, "There has to be zero tolerance for child molesters." In sum, in the past he has interfered with justice and acted on behalf of the molester class, as is the apparent GBC pattern all along. Yet at this point in time, Harivilas has begun to agree with PADA (at least on this issue) and he has emerged as a defender of molested children. Some of the remaining problems that we have with Harivilas then are: that he has never apologized to the victim(s) for his interfering in getting justice for their molesting, even when he was directly involved in this interference. And he still says that the GBC's cult enforced ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles guru regime is bona fide. He is still forcing small children to worship as their gurus, people whose only claim to being a guru themselves is that they were certified as such at a homosexual pedophile guru recoronation ceremony. In short, Harivilas still endorses his "enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophile guru's regime." A vicious cult.

This regime has established that known homosexual child molesters are "Vishnupadas" (a.k.a. Jesus), this regime has killed people who objected to the worship of their "homosexual pedophiles are God's successors," and simultaneously while enforcing their molester worship with murder, they certified Harivilasa's pals such as Trivrikrama as "gurus."

NOTICE! Harivilas complains above that the other GBC are avoiding the molesting issue, they are not concerned with the child molestation issue, and they failed to even discuss it over the past year! That is correct Harivilas, but even you failed to discuss it when we brought it to your attention, you rather bailed out the molester class. And now you say your GBC pals have failed to dicuss it, and some of them also bailed out the molester class, and they re-instated the worship of a known homosexual pedophile and simultaneously certified your guru Trivrirkama? So you are all known to be compromised with the worship of pedophiles and resultant webs and nests of molestation, and now you admit, they are still not interested in rectifying these issues. Good admission.]

---------------

ANUTTAMA AND BADRI SYMPATHIZE WITH MOLESTERS

HARIVILAS: During the meeting last year in the GBC Body, it seemed that Anuttama prabhu and Badrinarayana were the strongest opponents to my proposal.

[PADA: No kidding. Harivilas admits herein, and notice that this is a legal admission, that the GBC in general not only does not want to address or even discuss the child molesting issue, indeed some of them are the "strongest opponents" to discussing the child molesting issue. So the impression all along is that the GBC as a body wants to cover up the issue, and keep up the good old boys club of themselves and others who covered it up. This is called criminal negligence. And when one is working with others together in this way, it is called criminal conspiracy. That perhaps means some of the molesters are still in the society and they do not want to purge them out? That perhaps means that the people who compromised with the molester guru regime are getting big salaries and we cannot disturb their income, lest they start to expose the implication of other GBC?

There are many reasons why the issue, and those implicated in promoting molesters as gurus, cannot be discussed, and we would say that one of the main reasons is "pounds, shillings and pence." Those implicated in these things never spoke up all along to protect their incomes from the society and this policy is still going on. Corruption. Harivilas later compares the GBC to the personality named Cardinal Law from the corruption in the Catholic church, yes, another good point. Your party is corrupt.]

----------------

HARIVILAS: Amarendra prabhu did express the opinion that if the GBC body had voted a proposal like mine earlier, say 1996, our movement would have most probably avoided the Turley case.

[PADA: Very good point. The reason that the "Turley case" has had such strong momentum is that there seems to be a combined: lack of "taking responsibility" for what occurred; a lack of recognizing the real extent of the mass molestation cases; a lack of sympathy for the victims; a lack of keeping promises to assist the victims over the years with various funds that never manifested as promised; a lack of change of managers that are considered as corrupt and causing the molester infrastructure; a lack of change of policy of getting rid of the enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles lineage and its supporters, advocates, cover-up men and defenders; a lack of removing folks like Nitai Chanda, Satadhanya, Dhanurdara, and so on and so forth...]

-----------------------------

HARIVILAS: I brought with me to the GBC meeting a copy of a Newsweek feature article in which there was a shocking expose on child molestation in the Catholic Church and the far reaching financial and spiritual consequences it was having on the churches credibility. The Catholic Church tried to pass a zero tolerance policy for child molesters during the year, but it fell short of being a truly zero tolerance policy and it caused much disillusionment in the Church's parishioners. Cardinal Law, however, was forced to resign as Archbishop of Boston because of his many years of irresponsible leadership in Boston. He protected the child abusers by moving them around from church to church and thus established a pattern of laissez faire for molesters under his responsibility. This will cost the Boston church up to 100 million dollars in lawsuits.

[PADA: Amazing? Harivilas and the GBC always say those of us who want to worship pure devotees and not their assorted deviants, homosexuals, criminals and persons "voted as gurus" by same, are "like the Christians" and yet here he compares his own GBC policy to that of -- the Catholic Church, and the Christians? And he implies: the GBC does not care about "the financial and spiritual consequences to ISKCON." Mostly they seem to be simply watching the growth of their own little pile of resources that they are extracting from ISKCON. Good point Harivilas, they do not care about ISKCON.]

-------------------------------------

HARIVILAS: During our discussion, I made the point that there are sitting members of the GBC who are named defendants in the Turley case. If this ever goes to discovery, it may be established that these sitting members of acted exactly like Cardinal Law: irresponsibly move child molesters from one temple to another and facilitating their egregious crimes against our children.

[PADA: Thanks Harivilas. This letter is a legal statement by a GBC member of admission that it can easily be established that: (1) Other prominent GBC members are avoiding discussion of the child molester issue (especially over the past year -- even after litigation over their "avoidance policy" has been launched), ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (2) Prominent GBC members such as Badrinranayana and Anuttama are "the strongest opponents" to any child molester policy changes ...more criminal negligence, nay, open virulent opposition to correcting the wrong policy; (3) The GBC policy resembles that of the corrupt Catholic Church, and some of the sitting GBC members are like Boston's Cardinal Law ...more evidence of criminal neglect; (4) A zero tolerance policy towards molesters cannot be established -- just like the Catholics could not do so either ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (5) All of the above causes "disillusionment with the leadership" and will cause people to leave ISKCON or they will even want to sue ISKCON ...more evidence of criminal negligence; (6) That the child molester guru lineage which contains homosexuals and pedophiles is still upheld in ISKCON by Harivilas and the GBC, and so on.

Of course that the GBC has to rely on a person like Harivilas, who has bailed out a child molester himself, as their guardian of the molestation issue, is another symptom of grand criminal negligence?

------------------------------------------

HARIVILAS: Secondly, the only way the GBC will ever prove that it has understood the reason for which this case was advanced to the point it is now is by establishing a policy of zero tolerance for child molesters. I made the point during the meeting last year that I did not agree with the method of dealing with the child molester cases established by Dhira Govinda. The GBC must establish the policy and Dhira Govinda must execute it. At present the GBC has given Dhira Govinda Prabhu almost complete lattitude to establish criterions fo judgement. I maintain that Dhira Govinda Prabhu's handling of child molestation cases in ISKCON is as confused as his theories about the continuation of initiations as expressed in his Prominent Link paper. The GBC has treated him like a poster boy for molestation and an enfant terrible for his babbling about the prominent link.

[PADA: First, the reason that the GBC cannot establish "zero tolerance for molesters" is that there are probably molesters still living within the society. And again, since many of the GBC tolerated, if not aided and abetted the molestation infrastructure, or they are even implicated in criminal neglect, maybe even criminal conspiracy, and so on, they cannot establish zero tolerance for molesters since this begs the question: who covered-up for the molesters? Next, Harivilas complains that Dhira Govinda wants to establish the worship of Srila Prabhupada and not the GBC's enforced cult ritualistic worship of homosexual pedophiles regime? Why is Harivilas complaining about this, rather he should be glad that someone does not want to worship a child buggery guru lineage? Next, why can't the GBC find anyone to help with the child molestation -- from within their own ranks -- rather they need to come to us, the "ritviks," and get us to do their work on this issue? Yes, good questions Harivilas, why are the GBC dragging their feet and opposing the child molesting issue, whereas a so-called ritvik has to fix this issue for you? And as for Dhira Govinda proposing that we worship Srila Prabhupada, why is this "confusing"? Isn't your GBC system of worshipping child molesters and criminals "the troubles" which has caused all of the confusion -- in the first place?

------------------------

HARIVILAS: As I said last year, the GBC is sleeping at the helm on crucual issues like the child moletation issue and guru tattva, thus, agitiating professionals like Dhirea govcinda to challenge them on a public forum and at the same toime to take money from the GBC.

[PADA: Well thanks again! Yes, the GBC is sleeping at the helm on the child molestation issue. No kidding. They are also sleeoign at the helm of the guru tattva issue. No kidding. Since 1936 these false gurus cannot even explain how child buggers absorb sins like Jesus, a questiuon that any tne year old Christian can answer in two seconds?]

---------------------------

HARIVILAS: Ultimately SP is the most prominent sadhu for us in ISKCON.

[PADA: Notice, that while Harivilas criticizes Dhira Govinda's publication for saying that Srila Prabhupada is "The Prominent Link," we see above that Harivilas himself says the same thing as Dhira Govinda, that Srila Prabhupada is the "prominent sadhu for ISKCON." So "prominent link," or "prominent sadhu," this shows that Harivilas is repeating Dhira Govinda's proposal.]

HARIVILAS (HV) CONTINUED

HV: ...Our policy is even further from zero tolerance (for child molesters) than the Catholic church, because it is in the hands of a paid professional. Because he is paid, the GBC can conveniently alter his decisions when he seems too harsh on privileged friends of the GBC and ignore all the other cases complacently thinking that the right thing is being done.

[PADA: There you have it folks, if one is a child molester he gets to stay in ISKCON if he is "a privileged friend" of the GBC. Yep, and those of us who are not child molesters are not in the category of "priviledged friends"?]

HV: It may even be demonstrated that a zero tolerance policy for child molesters may obviate the need for paid professionals to process. Creating positions of paid functionaries in ISKCON has been only marginally effective and is against the spirit of devotional service. At the end of the 2002 GBC meeting, my proposal was supposed to be placed into a correspondence vote. I do not think this has ever happened. I would suggest that my proposal for zero tolerance be put on the agenda for consideration at the 2003 GBC meeting. This year will be crucial for determining the future fate of ISKCON because there will be some decision in the bankruptcy court concerning the Turley case. We should proactively prepare for this by passing a zero tolerance policy for child molestation and publish it. I maintain this will psychologically prepare the plaintiffs in this case to settle with ISKCON and put closure to this whole mess. Wisdom garnered by son of Armenia.

...(Regarding a person giving a lecture in an ISKCON temple I asked him) What happens if a present saintly person begins to introduce practices that differ from previous recognized saints? Are we to accept? Ultimately Srila Prabhupada is the most prominent sadhu for us in ISKCON.

[PADA: This is very remarkable. Hari Vilas says that Dhira Govinda's position paper, "Srila Prabhupada is The Prominent Link" is false. Yet here he quotes exactly from the title saying, "Srila Prabhupada is the MOST PROMINENT sadhu." What?]

HV: He was very reluctant with what I said and he cautiously said that my opinion borders on the ritvik philosophy.

[PADA: Great? Anyone who says that Prabhupada is "the prominent authority for ISKCON" -- is a "ritvik nut case" and a deviant? Yet if we quote for example from the 1978 GBC report, which Harivilas states later in this document was spoken by -- Sridhara Maharaja -- and not Prabhupada, then that is authentic "shastra"? So the Gaudiya Matha ideas are bona fide, whereas supporting Prabhupada's idea means we are "bordering on deviation"? At least to his credit Harivilas weakly defended Prabhupada here. Yet this is a good example of the type of "preaching" going on in ISKCON today, which borders on atheism if anything, there is no "prominent" authority -- at all. All types of speculations from the GBCs and their various Babaji authorities, Gaudiya Matha advisors, soothsayers, astrologers, ghost busters, psychics, counseling experts and so on, are all authorized, whereas Prabhupada's authority is -- not? Worse, anyone who says they accept Prabhupada as the authority is: "bordering on deviation"?]

HV: I asked him, "What do you do then with present saintly people who introduce practices that are not indicated in scripture or in the teachings of Srila Prabhupada such as goverdhan sila worship considering the sila to be Radharani, etc. His answer was that the 'buyer beware.' This is an irresponsible answer, and it is philosophically wrong. When I joined the KC movement, I was not told the buyer had to beware when I chose Srila Prabhupada as my spiritual master. Srila Prabhupada went to great length to explain the qualities of the bona fide spiritual master. The spiritual master must especially be qualified to deliver the disciple. There was never a question of buyer beware, rather the buyer be educated to recognize the pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada. However there was no doubt about the purity of Srila Prabhupada. The only doubt was whether the prospective disciple was sincere enough to accept the pure devotee. Now the doubt is on the pure devotee. The sincerity of the disciple is generally a fact. The buyer beware implies there are MANY IMPOSTORS and perhaps few pure devotees (but again no guarantee). This is NONSENSE and an indictment against ISKCON's precarious guru tattva.

[PADA: What? If there is some saintly person (such as a GBC) who is preaching bogus ideas in ISKCON, that is fine because the brand new neophytes, the new bhaktas, the alcoholic off the street, they have to determine: what is what? The new devotees or general public have to determine if the ISKCON preacher is bona fide? The onus for determining the absolute truth in ISKCON lies with the brand new person off the street, it is now up to him to "buyer beware" his way through the huge mass of over one hundred gurus and "preachers"? Is this not the GBC's job, to make sure their preachers are bona fide? How can the brand new people or general public decide who is speaking the proper siddhanta, or else they will be "buying a bad product"? The GBC is supposed to make sure the preachers are bona fide, not the brand new person off the street? Of course the slogan most often repeated by used car salesmen, considered as the most odious lot of cheaters and fools by comedians all over America, their favorite line is "buyer beware." ISKCON's siddhanta has been reduced to the cheating slogans of used car salesmen.]

HV: ...The humbug guru artificially imitates the acarya and actually turns people away from Krishna consciousness. Of course some people are attracted for a certain period, but the enchantment can gradually fade as the sincere person examines the imitator more closely. Mohammed once said, "Our own men have done more to harm Islam than our enemies ever dreamed of doing." "The humbug gurus have done more harm to ISKCON than outsiders ever dreamed of doing." You could calculate the damage totaling into the hundreds and thousands of sincere persons who have decided not to support ISKCON or to leave it and hundreds of millions of dollars were either lost or not given to Prabhupada's movement.

[PADA: Very nice. So the question is, why is Harivilas working with the people who are making these humbug gurus and thus he is, by his own account, "turning away hundreds and thousands of people from Krishna"?]
