“Now
the 'cat is out of the bag' and you will have a hard time spinning the
same "innocent" lies to the assembled devotees... I've read your confession
letter posted on the Internet... Your
close friend Kirtanananda
is a dirty old man, in a wheelchair and still looking for young boys...Utilize
the time you have left to develop some honesty and integrity.”

An
Open Letter to Umapati Prabhu by
Mahasringa das
“Rocana
Prabhu's recent article
on Radhanatha Swami brings
up a lot of questions surrounding Kirtanananda's leaders and henchmen,
many of whom have slipped back into ISKCON in recent years as top leaders...My
first question is to ISKCON Guru and GBC spokesman Umapati Swami...why
he [Umapati Swami] doesn't write his memories of the time he initiated
notorious devotee murderer Tirtha
Das
into the sannyasa ashram in prison...What exactly was your frame of thought
when you wrote the English song "Prayers to the Spiritual Master". The
first lines of the song go "All
glories to you, Bhaktipada,
Lord Krishna's servant dear, You worship at His feet and spread his message
far and near."

“New Vrindaban was
not a “cesspit of criminal
activities.” Certainly
these things went on, as we
discovered years later, ...a
handful of our 700 residents
knew about or participated
in these heinous
activities. I believe most
of us... loved New Vrindaban, and we
were for the most part happily spending our days chanting Hare Krishna...,
at least until our
faith was shattered by reasonable
proof of Kirtanananda’s
crimes and deviations…
Umapati Swami left New Vrindaban
and Kirtanananda's service in 1988… I believe it is significant
to note that Umapati
Swami left New Vrindaban and
severed his connection with Kirtanananda at least five or six YEARS before
some other prominent leaders--
today serving as ISKCON gurus and GBC members--who did not leave Kirtanananda's
service until 1993 or 1994."
