Sri Galima das / Gary Gardner / SriJi / Shree_G Dasa
/ of san antonio, texas
Rapist, sex-pervert, pedophile "headmaster" of old nandagram/
new nandagram school, twice headmaster of gurukulas closed down for abuse.
He is a close friend of Ralph J. Seward (Raghunatha) for a number of
years. He sold off 100 head of cattle from his father's ranch in san antonio
to pay his way out of the child molestation charges
that dog him to this day. He found "life on the run" in india too austere
(shame you can't rape children from the comfort of your own living room anymore!)
this unrepentant, unconvicted, and as yet, uncharged child molester
is still very tight in his communications with nvc (New
Vrindaban Community, Inc.) management and spiritual heirarchy. His
wife occasionally visits and always asks when it will be alright for sri galima
to return.
Sri-Galima was from a wealthy san antonio cattle baron family and had
never held a real job in his entire life. He would later use his family's
ill gotten gains to buy himself a pass in the first child abuse trial to
involve New Vrindaban inmates, which wound up sending Sri-Galima's first
victim to prison for six months.
Sri-Galima had befriended a young boy (Frederick DeFrancisco
- Lalita Madhava) who came to New Vrindaban
who spoke no english. Since Sri-Galima spoke fluent spanish, the youth was
put under his direct care and supervision. After six years of being trained
by Sri-Galima, the assistant started to have his own similar kinds of relationships.
When the duo was arrested, the youth had just turned eighteen and was charged
as an adult offender. The adult pedophile, Gary Gardner
(Sri-Galima) was able to make all the
charges against him go away in a sealed plea agreement that cost him $
60,000. The "fee" was paid to west virginia state supreme
court justice Klackley for making the entire thing go away for Sri-Galima
without even one days incarceration. his minor aged assistant was tried as
an adult and served a six month sentence. Sri-Galima had been protected throughout
the period by his exile to india and then to malaysia after word got around
india that he was another one of Kirtanananda Swami's foreign legion and not
just a spiritual seeker.
Sri-Galima had gone back to the states in a very sweet
deal that his father and Radhanath
had worked out. from his malaysian hideout, he had hired a lawyer to negotiate
on his behalf. his "lawyer" was a WVU law professor named Klackley. The
lawyer was a black WV statesupreme court justice. He was the chief justice
of the west virginia state supreme court. AND he was in private practice.
And for the incredibly reasonable legal fee of $60,000 US dollars all
of this was reduced to signing a paper and walking out of the courthouse a
free man. Legally free, maybe, but karma-free, well let's just say, there's
more chance of having a snowball fight in hell.
Sri-Galima (a homosexual) needed a wife for the same reason michael
jackson married lisa marie presley. It conveyed a heterosexual image that
would be helpful if this ever came before a jury. (cover up for being gay)
The mentality was that women were only toilets that you did your business
in (pissing and shitting in it) and then walked away from. Devamrita
Swami was very fond of saying so. (Devamrita said: women are toilets).
Yogini, or "Mrs. Sri-Galima" as she was called, had gotten herself deep
in the middle of something she didn't understand. she had come to New Vrindaban
from her native south-america and almost on her arrival, she was told to marry
so that she would get her green card. So she ended up with Sri Galima,
Gary Gardner, as a cover up for his pedophile nature.
----------------------
Notorious New Vrindavan pedophile, Sri Galima Das
(Gary Gardner) at his trial. After fleeing to India, he finally turned
himself in and escaped punishment by arranging a $50,000 pay off. Despite
having molested dozens of boys in the New Vrindavan gurukula, he remains a
free man protected by Ravindra Svarupa and Radhanath.
Concerning Sri Galima das - Gary Gardner
- send to PADA on 29. April 2008,
by ex-resident of New Vrindaban (name withheld on request)
Dear Pada, I want this info to get posted on your MySpace blog, but cannot send it to you as a finished article. I'll leave it up to you as to how to best present it.
Fact: Sri Galim das, the infamous NV "alleged" pedophile, has opened a gallery called "Radha Art Gallery", in an area of Pittsburgh, PA called Lawrenceville. He is doing business with paintings, calling his homepage Krishna Ministry:
http://www.krishna-ministry.com/artgallery.html
http://www.krishnaimages.com/
I'm hoping you can put on your blog a picture of the sign, which has the ISKCON lotus/tilak logo on it. At least put up the link DIRECTLY to the page showing the picture of the sign. I'm wondering who gave him permission to use the ISKCON logo???
Also, Allen White is giving yoga classes there. Allen White is Damodar das from New Vrindaban Community. According to your web page on the Turley lawsuit http://www.harekrsna.org/pada/themes/chapter11.htm, Allen White was the President and Director of ISKCON of West Virginia, INC. at the time of the bankruptcy filing. I do not know if he still holds this position today, but he still lives in his house on private land near the community and takes part in community gatherings.
Please put a link directly to the page that shows him giving a yoga class. http://www.krishna-ministry.com/artgallery.html

Damodar
das - Allen White giving Yoga Class in Sri Galimas Shop
ex President and Director of ISKCON of West Virginia, INC
People visit the site and see that Sri Galim calls himself "Sriji," offers counseling (for a hefty fee), and even has a picture of himself with Srila Prabhupada. You can see he is targeting the Indian community who know nothing about his past. He's asking people to donate so he can have a free van! http://www.krishnaimages.com/loan.html
Hopefully some reader of your blog will send the info to Harekrsna.com and / or Chakra. I will not, because I might not stay anonymous. This information needs to be spread on the internet so that ex-gurukulis, parents, and the rank and file devotees can see what he is doing and how people still enable him. http://www.krishnaimages.com/about.html
PERSONAL:
I need to know if you have a copy of the exact date that the
court in Moundsville, WV dropped the charges against Gary Gardner (Sri Galim).
It would help if I knew the dates of the original arrest, and the date the
charges were dropped.
ANSWER:
Perhaps the charges against Gary Gardner where dropped in the beginning of
Februar 1987. New Vrindaban former school principal teacher Garry Gardner
(Sri Galima) and his assistant Frederick DeFrancisco (Lalita
Madhava) had been arrested for child abuse; the story was reported
in Wheeling News Register, Feb. 11, 17, and 18. 1987
EXTRA:
On your website ( http://www.harekrsna.org/pada/themes/chapter11.htm
), you have some names spelled wrong.
it is Carlos Ordonez - Nityodita
it is Ramesh Patel -
Venkatesh moved to India at least 2 years ago.

Another example, rather than get New Vrindavan's number one pedophile, Sri Galima (Gary Gardner), sent to prison, Ravindra Svarupa told everyone to forget about it, and welcomed him to move next door. He didn't want to disturb anyone by bringing up all the past bad news. Instead he invited him over to Pittsburg, where he has set up his own religious society (Krishna Ministry), and collects around $100,000 USD a year. (KRISHNA MINISTRY Tax Exempt/NonProfit Organization Information)
If you're in the neighborhood, go ahead and say hello to Sri Galima (Gary Garnder). Mention that Ravindra Svarupa sent you:KRISHNA MINISTRY

Ravindra Svarupa's pedophile
friend Sri Galima spends his free time trying to create another
New Vrindavan in Austin, Texas, (site deleted) one where he himself
is the Kirtanananda, with over 30 acres of land to molest.
But since everyone knows his pedophile past, he now goes by the guru title
Sriji instead of Sri Gamila. The good news is that ex-pedophile Sriji offers
counseling through email to troubled and confused people, for just $30 per
session:
"Here you have various methods to engage in counseling for any problem you may have, either it be spiritual or material, the source is spiritual. You can e-mail Sriji das to setup counseling times, in which you can communicate over the phone or via e-mail. Costs are $30 per hour for phone counseling."
And when he isn't busy trying to spiritually counsel people for $30 an hour, he is looking for a hot date at veggiedate.com. You can see his dating ad here, (site deleted) but for some reason he left off the part about himself being a child molester. In the ad, he states: "Forgiveness and the ability to move on are important to me." Hey, that's the same thing Ravindra Svarupa keeps telling us. Why the hell are the criminals always the ones who say the victims need to forgive and move on? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they do not want to be held accountable for their past crimes.
So in summary, I would just like to say, "Thank you Ravana Svarupa". Because of rascals like you New Vrindavan's pedophiles and murderers are walking free and being glorified as saints who have "developed strong absorption in the Lord's holy names" while honest questioners like Giri-nayaka Das are criticized as "full time fault finders". Thank you, Ravana Svarupa, for the justice and reform you have brought to ISKCON.
Ravindra states:
"As some of you may recall, in 1987 the North American GBC decided that, for the protection of Srila Prabhupada's movement, it should cooperate with the government in its case against Kirtanananda Swami and others. On several occasions, I was able to observe at first hand the thorough and systematic way the team of prosecution lawyers and FBI agents made their cases not only against Kirtanananda but against many of his lieutenants and foot-soldiers. So far as I could see, the government was thorough and relentless."
![]() Ravindra Svarupa explains the philosophical technicalities of the pedophile guru lineage. "He used to be a bonafide guru, but now that he is a pedophile we have voted him out as a guru. |
In their book 'Monkey
on a Stick' Hubner and Gruson (1990) alleged:
"Boys were ordered to come to the front of the class and sit on [their
teacher] Sri Galima's lap. Sri Galima then anally raped them, right
in front of the class. Other boys were or-dered to stay after class. Sri Galima
tied their hands to their desks with duct tape and then assaulted them in
the same way. At night, Fredrick DeFrancisco (Lalita
Madhava), Sri Galima's assistant, crept into the boys' sleeping
bags and performed oral sex on them.
In 1987, Frederick DeFrancisco, a teacher's assistant
(Sri Galima) at the Hare Krishna farm in New Vrindaban, W.Va., was
convicted of sex offenses against a child. New Vrindaban former school principal
teacher Garry Gardner (Sri Galima) and his assistant Frederick
de Francisco (Lalita Madhava) had
been arrested for child abuse; the story was reported in Wheeling News Register,
Feb. 11, 17, and 18. 1987
