| Srutadeva and Muralivadaka * A report from Alachua says that Srutadeva and Muralivadaka cannot hold the post of "diksha guru" (vaishnava parampara acharya) while they are under suspension for child molestation. Is this what the post of "being Srila Prabhupada's direct shaksat hari tvena" representative has come to? You can't be worshipped as the sum total of the demigods --while on suspension for being a child molester? What! A pure devotee or "diksha guru" has come to the plane of being a "reforming criminal" who is trying to pass his molestation parole? Well, it would thus seem (on this basis) that mass murderer Charles Manson has just about attained the status of Jesus, as he has claimed he is all along, since he has been a model prisoner lately? What kind of idea is this? The pure devotee, diksha guru, the acharya, is perhaps a person who passes two years parole for child molestation? Wake up Alachuans! The pure devotee is a person who is in Vaikuntha, nitya siddha, eternally and NOW! He is an eternal parisad associated of Krishna. He is not some lusty fool who is barely able to restrain himself from attacking children for sex! This is not even tamasa guna (sudra). This is raksasa. The guru is ut-tama and your so-called guru standards are not even tamasa? NOTICE! The acharya is NOT a person who is just trying to get free of wearing a striped suit that says "Property of San Quentin" a ball and chain and handcuffs! Say it ain't so people! "You can't be Jesus while on suspension parole for incest or child abuse." Please! This means the new idea of "links in the guru chain" are now like rusty paper clips, if not sweater fuzz, instead of the Ocean Liner Queen Mary's multi-ton anchor links. Grabbing a piece of sweater fuzz will not pull you out of the material ocean, nor even, will it pull you out of two inch deep mud puddle. The fact that known pedophiles are even being considered as "candidates for inclusion in the eternal guru parampara" is totally offensive and ludicrous. The diksha guru is a person who can absorb the sins of his followers, yet these people cannot even absorb their own sins. In sum, people who are fighting to keep their hands out of children's cookie jars are sick perverts, not candidates to be worshipped as pure devotees. ANY NORMAL CHURCH would say that molesters cannot be priests (ritviks), not ever, especially since they are getting sued nowadays. But ISKCON GBC clones say: known molesters can be WORSHIPPED AS GOOD AS GOD AND JESUS after a few years of probation! You become what you worship people, so if you are worshipping the homosexual pedophile anartha..... YIKES! EXPOSING CHILD ABUSERS [Text 2204978 from COM] Dear devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Since you are responsible for investigating the child abuse case, I beg you to help the members of this conference, by informing us on what has so far been done in regard of exposeing children abusers in gurukula case. Reading the texts connected to this case, I have got an impressione that the whole thing is a big cover up, because the main blame is put on the parents and even on the abused children (its just their karma).I have also heard that abusers are still somevere in ISKCON may be even holding positions as an authority to someone, or even haveing acces to children. To avoid various speculations and doubts, I humble beg you to inform us about the folloving; 1.What are the names of abusers. 2.What positions are they holding in ISKCON. 3.What has been done in the sense of presenting criminal charges against them in in the court of justice. 4.What are the names of persons at the time of incident, who failed to use their authority to stop the abusers before the biger damage was done, and in that way failed to properly protect the children. 5.What positions are they holding now in ISKCON. Your servant, Janaka das Babhru replies: These are important--and disturbing--questions. I don't have any good answers. My daughter just received the newsletter form ISKCON's central child protection office, run by Dhira Govinda. In the newsletter, the resolution of two cases was summarized--those of Srutadeva das of San Diego and Muralivadak das of Alachua. I'm not satisfied with their disposition, and my daughters--who were very close friends with the daughter Srutadeva molested -- were rather pee'd off (please pardon my English) because there seems to be some scope, for example, for Srutadeva to attend temple functions (look--we just want to protect our members, our guests, and their children from these people!) and maybe even lead kirtans. Anyway, there was no word about any of the other cases. The person to ask would be Dhira Govinda. I would imagine he may be a member of the c.a.i. conference; his email address is dgovinda@aol.com. Perhaps this will bring things to life. With the formation of the central office in Florida, I'm not sure what function this conference is supposed to serve any more. Your servant, Babhru das Some Child Abuse News from VNN - see below Land mines of abused children all over the world: After six months of working with the CPO it is evident that the numbers of victims and perpetrators of child abuse is much greater than the numbers estimated by the Task Force. Thus, while the program to care for victims of child abuse has produced inspiring results, only a small fraction of the task is completed. Most victims have not yet been reached by this program. It is hoped that ISKCON will realize its moral obligation to these persons, and that this realization will continue to manifest in the form of monetary support. "While the program to care for victims of child abuse has produced inspiring results, only a small fraction of the task is completed." ================================================================== Murlivadaka and his trail of abuses: These transgressions occurred over a period of several years, ending in 1989. They happened in various locations, including Lake Huntington, New York, Port Royal, Pennsylvania, and Alachua, Florida, where Muralivadaka was headmaster of a school. Muralivadaka dasa has admitted to these inappropriate sexual acts with the four children. ===================================================================== Dhanurdhar's and Other child abuse cases: Currently, the cases of Hunkara dasa (Vrndavana), Kurma Avatara dasa (Kenneth Theodore Capoferri - Los Angeles), and several persons accused of sexual child abuse in Mayapur are being reviewed by panels of judges (Some names of alleged abusers are confidential because they are accused of abusive incidents when they were adolescents). A case file has been prepared in the case of Dhanurdhara Maharaja (Vrndavana Gurukula), and the file has been sent to him so that he can respond to all allegations. Other cases that are being actively investigated include Anila dasa (Scott Langsdon - Mayapur), Sri Galima dasa (Gary Gardner - New Vrndavana), Satadhanya dasa (Mayapur), Diviratha dasa (Dirk Bnchner - Germany and Vrndavana), Adiraja dasa (Anand Nahadoo - Nepal and Mauritius), Ananta Rupa dasa (Vrndavana), Atmabhavana dasa (Arturo Sanjuan Habiba - Vrndavana), Chakradari dasa (Charles Stevenson - Colorado), Krpa Kara dasa (Keith Foley - Australia), Krsnapada dasa (Krsnapada Mondal - New Zealand), Laxmipati dasa (Joe Luiz Martinez - France), Manihar dasa (Matthew Norton - New Vrindavan and Vrndavana), Murari Gupta dasa (Melville Moncrieff - Mayapur), Niragadeva dasa (Vrndavana), Sastra dasa (Steven Kapitany - Vancouver), Visnuratha dasa (Beat Soldermann - France and Switzerland), and Gobhatta dasa (Lacinio Pichardo - Dominican Republic). The Office of Child Protection has many other case files that are also waiting to be investigated. Ananta das from Montreal Quebec was also
