RE: LOKANATHA SWAMI

Thanks jojo. Yes, Lokanatha swami was "under GBC investigation" for "touching a young girl inappropriately" -- just like Kirtanananda was "under investigation," but nothing was ever done until the police raided his farm. The parents of the young girl in the Lokanatha case wanted to press criminal charges. As usual, molester defender Mukunda swami came to rescue his pedophile pals, and he told the girl's parents that the GBC would punish Lokanatha. However, nothing ever happened, and so Lokanatha is still walking around dressed like a sannyasa -- and he is apparently also a GBC guru. The molested girl apparently started calling Lokanatha "Joker-natha." According to a report, the upset parents of the girl were dismayed that they had not pressed criminal charges because they saw that the GBC did not really do anything of substance.

So yes, if one is a child molester, then the GBC/ Sridhara/ Narayana maharaja team has been rewarding them by making molesters into their gurus and authorities. You are correct. This all started when Sridhara and Narayana Maharaja(s) said: when your guru is falling down (i.e. he is a molester), you should not oppose but "wait and see," because these folks wanted their false gurus to rob/ steal/ embezzle/ ban/ beat/ molest -- more and more, while they all sat around "waiting." They still are "waiting" since they have done nothing to formally corral in anything. Of course, if Narayana Maharaja finds some nice molester voted in bogus gurus even today, he falls off his seat and licks their booties and he says they are his "pooja padas" AS HE DID RECENTLY, because he still supports child molester pooja regimes even nowadays. This is also why Mukunda Maharaja supported the Tamal/ Narayana Maharaja/ Jokernatha/ molester/ death cult. No, this is not likely to change on their side because these folks have made "supporting corruption" their lifetime occupation and career, we have to expose them, that will force a change from external sources, as we are doing in fact. thanks pd
The Official GBC Version of Lokanatha Maharaja's 'Fall'

While all the focus is on the GBC report on Satsvarupa, it is quite interesting to read the GBC report on Lokanath Swami made a few a years ago. Many questions can be asked, as the report raises questions for disciples and for ISKCON itself.

RE: Copy of message to GBC conference
"Dear GBC members, It is my duty to inform you of the actions of a special GBC subcommittee that dealt with a confidential investigation of Lokanatha Maharaja. The members of the subcommittee are: myself, Badrinarayana Prabhu, Mukunda Maharaja, Sridara Swami, Virabahu Prabhu, and Ravindra Swarupa Prabhhu.
It is important that you be aware of the decisions and findings of the committee so that you can properly deal with rumors that are circulating.
Please understand that those matters are strictly confidential. I am requesting each GBC member to not show this message to anyone else. Also please erase this message after reading it.
Madhusevita Prabhu asked me to add the following: "If a GBC member is detected as having printed or disseminated this report in an unadvised manner he may be subject to censure by the Ex Comm."
Here are the details:
"In 1990 while staying at the house of a family for a few days Lokanath Swami (Swami x) touched a young pre-adolesent girl in an inappropriate way by putting his hand on her lap. He was sitting next to her on a couch in a families living room, both were holding the Krishna Book in their hands, the hand holding the book (the back of the hand) rested on her lap as he read the Krishna Book. The hand did not move.
In 1993 when the GBC chairman became aware of the incident and appointed a committee to deal with the issue, Swami x was also told to stop all initiations.
The committee conducted a thorough investigation, which included bringing a team of professional experts in New York and involving Mother Yasoda. The cost of the experts exceeded $2,500 for a four day intensive assessment. The experts made an in depth examination Swami x after which they concluded that this unfortunate incident had occurred because of the Swami x's complete lack of prior experience on the matter of dealing with women. Having learned his lesson (the need to follow the proper social conduct for a sannyasi) they were confident that this incident would not reoccur. They also stated that he had the proper nature of a spiritual leader and should be allowed to continue in this role within our society.
An apology was made by letter and in person to the girl and the family. They were satisfied.
The GBC committee concluded that this deviation from the acceptable conduct had been accidental. So in 1996 after Gour Purnima, he was allowed to begin accepting disciples again."
It was concluded this year in Mayapura that all prospective disciples of Swami x would be given the history of the above.
