Dear Puranjana prabhu, Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. PAMFO I hope you are well.

This devotee, with a degree in dealing with child abuse, had been informed by several ex-gurukulis who were Satsvarupa's victims that Satsvarupa had fondled some of them along with other activities.

When I presented this information to another devotee I knew, (my then finding out that she was the ITS A CON Child Protection Office's representative for Canada), she wrote back to me suggesting that these ex-gurukulis file claims with Dhira Govinda prabhu's office, so I sent that reply to the devotee.

This was the reply I received: ---

They would have reported it to Dhira Govinda if they trusted his ability to bring any child abuser to justice. CPO gave little slaps on the wrist to a couple of monsters and that's about it. You couldn't even call it a slap on the wrist. It was more like an acknowledgement and pardon process.

In 2000 Dhira Govinda started to investigate Bhavananda and Kirtanananda but the GBC shut him down. They cut his budget and told him that all proceedings had to be kept secret. CPO doesn't even keep track of the legal names of the perpetrators they've investigated.

Have you been made aware of anything in this regard concerning Satsvarupa?

Your servant, ******** Dasi
