NEWSBITES

* An "ex-Krishna kid" told pada yesterday, "I hope some of the gurukulis take over some temples so that I can go to a temple. I will never go to temples with the present GBC in charge." Amen. You and 5 billion others won't go there as long as they are in charge.

* There may be some media coverage of the GBC expose and pada may be involved. We will update you as this develops.

* Even people in and around ISKCON are asking, why wasn't law enforcement brought in a long time ago over some of these abuses? Well, the apparent answer is that there has been a lot of sentimentality towards protecting wrong doers. Even now, GBC leaders are crying buckets of tears for poor Suhotra and his "childhood problems," while these same GBC folks have ignored the "childhood problems" of the children in their own charge.

1) THIS LETTER SUMS IT ALL UP?

A Final Farewell
By Bhaktin Teagan

Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

BT: I recently left ISKCON after seven years of hoping things would change. I can liken my time in ISKCON to being trapped in an abusive marriage (to ISKCON). In the beginning it was so wonderful, and I was so happy. Blinded by love and the need to belong, I accepted things that in the past I would have never tolerated.

I dutifully stayed at the back of the temple room, accepting the explanations as to why it had to be so, tried to become "submissive" and tried not be "independent". I even tried to swallow the contradictory message that I was "less intelligent" simply because of what body I was in, even though I was not the body?! Not to speak of tolerating "classes" where I was told that it is "better (for a woman) to be beaten than to be alone" and talk of single women being "like prostitutes", and at one time unfounded and groundless rumors questioning my chastity - in spite of my strict adherence to the four regs for so many years.

[PADA: This seems to be one of the results of the homosexual pedophile worship influences. Women are seen as competitors to some homosexuals, and thus in places like New Vrindavana we found an upswing in homosexual and pedophile activity, simultaneously, beating of women, encouraged divorce, and so forth. In fact, right after Jadurani was beaten nearly to death at New Vrndavana, many GBC began to glorify Kirtanananda all the more as "the real pure devotee" and his New Vrindavana project as "the best ISKCON community in the world." Yep, homosexual pedophiles and women beater orhchestrators who think they are as good as Jesus are our favorites?]

BT: After a few years in ISKCON and of having to tolerate the association, from time to time of misogynistic men posing as saints, I was still pretty much unscarred. I figured that I'd rather have to associate with these men, although some obviously resented my presence, who were at least vegetarian, and on a spiritual path, than to associate with chauvinistic non-devotee men, who were not.

[PADA: "Mysognyist chauvanists" are not "spiritualists." Rather they are deeply engrossed in the bodily concept of life. Some of them may also be homosexuals posing as renunciates, as we have seen.]

BT: It was not until my son began to imitate some of the behavior and talk, that he was of course so often subjected to, that I really started to think about where I was and what I was doing.

[PADA: Excellent realization. If you associate with mysogynists, chauvanists, and maybe homosexuals, and maybe sympatizers to pedophiles, or maybe even child beaters like Dhanurdara, and they are posing as gurus or leaders, then the children will adopt these views as "normal" if not "spiritual." Also, what about all the quotes where women are doing equal service to the men, that they are not this body, and most importantly: that they are to be protected by the men? The men are supposed to be protecting the women. Yet in ISKCON the "men's" track record of protecting women and children is nothing short of abominable, to state it mildly.

Then where is the "men's" claim that they are superior? If the men are not behaving like men, then there is no cause for these "men" to complain further? One of the first persons to get beat up for challenging the GBC gurus was: a woman? Worse, the first person to sue Tamal in Dallas courts over the child molestation issue was: another woman? If some of the women are having to do the fighting and protecting work of some of the men, and the women are in sum doing the work of the so-called male bodied souls, what is that?

Why aren't the men out there challenging, making lawsuits to protect the children, and instead the "weaker sex" has to grab their bow and arrow and do the fighting work? Not the men? Worse, when we brought out the poison issue in 1997, who stood by our side? Yet another woman. Not the men? Yes, one lady helped us, and then she was physically attacked --by five men? So, the men are supposed to be doing the job of protecting the women, not beating up the women?. Yet the men have not been out there doing these jobs, while claiming to be the big protecting males? The so-called dharma yuddhis?]

BT: Our experiences of what is left of the gurukula school system, of being a scapegoat for political reasons, and of the general lack of respect for women and children so rampant in ISKCON have eventually lead both my son and myself to doubt the whole process.

[PADA: Good point. Making a scapegoat of the gurukuli's mess is just politics. Plain and simple. Crimes against children have not yet been given justice.]

BT: I spent seven years in a lonely, largely loveless marriage. I was married to ISKCON, and as a single parent, had all but accepted spending the rest of my life without a partner, often lonely and often miserable. Until one day I just said "enough". My son had, not surprisingly, stopped going to the temple some time ago, I had started to work "outside of the temple" and had had more contact with non-devotees. It dawned on me that these meat-eating "karmis" treated my son and I with far more respect generally, than the majority of men we had encountered in ISKCON.

[PADA: Our same realization. The same people who say we are "snake demons who should be shot on sight" are: so-called "devotees." No karmis ever talk to us like this, nor do most of them even harbor hatred like this at all.]

BT: I have had to explain to a man who hardly knows me, and has never experienced family life, as a 30+ adult woman, why I wanted to get married (even though I don't want to have more children). This was in spite of the fact that I was raising a son alone who, due to the constricts of my avoiding as much as possible the association of the opposite sex, has had little one on one contact with men in his entire life. I have had to phone "Crime stoppers" anonymously to have a pedophile, on the run for raping his daughters, arrested - because the "authorities" were insisting he be allowed to stay in a guest house on an ISKCON farm!

[PADA: Yep, this proves that these folks will never learn until they are thrashed in court.]

BT: I have been appalled over the years by others' stories too. Like a "brahmacari" allowed back to the temple (complete with back slapping) after an illicit relationship with a woman - where he so violently abused her little girl that she nearly died!

[PADA: Yep, women and children beaters are encouraged. Simultaneously, those of us who do not commit these acts, nor would we even dream of acting like this, are treated like unwanted snakes and evil demons.]

BT: Of women complaining to the temple president of being beaten by their husbands, only to be told to "be more submissive".

[PADA: No, if a woman is being beaten by anyone, it is time to call the police and have the culprit arrested and charged with sousal abuse, assault.]

BT: Of children's complaints of being sexually abused being swept under the carpet, or disbelieved in spite of obvious evidence. Of wife-beating "prabhus" discarding one wife, and simply taking another. Then just when it looked like there was light at the end of the tunnel, along comes the "GHQ Controversy" and "The Vrndavana Incident." They were the last straw for me. I no longer wanted to be associated with an organization that was so full of hate. I came to ISKCON thinking that I had left that sort of thing behind. Sadly I was so very wrong. My protests have gone unheeded for so many years - that my final protest is just to say goodbye. This protest has so far caused about as much of a ripple as all my others in the past seem to have. So I thank CHAKRA for allowing me to explain my departure, and voice my final protest.

I would like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to the sincere devotees of ISKCON. I wish you all well in your quest for spiritual enlightenment, and for those so inclined, your quest to improve and enrich the experience of the present and future members of ISKCON. To all the women and men who have inspired me and cared for me, including HH Jayapataka Swami, I say thank you and goodbye.

Sincerely

Teagan Haynes aka Bhaktin Teagan

2) "Fight for succession caused ISKCON problems" (Times of India)

http://www.timesofindia.com/230600/23mban27.htm

Community Correspondent

BANGALORE: The $400-million child abuse case filed in the US last week against some ISKCON gurus by former pupils of its boarding schools has brought to the fore certain ideological differences within the movement. According to Madhu Pandita Dasa, president ISKCON, Bangalore, "The genesis of the problem was with the followers usurping the position of the guru in ISKCON temples, against the very philosophy of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who advocated no succession (as it led to absoluteness of powers and resulting favouritism, corruption) and advised instead that a committee run the organisation after his demise in 1977."

Madhu Pandita is in fact international secretary ISKCON Revival Movement (IRM), which he terms a `movement within the movement'. In fact, IRM filed a case in the Calcutta High Court last year against the 79 spiritual heads who "usurped the position of the guru and who have had a long history of disobeying the teachings, especially after his death," adds Madhu Pandita. Incidentally, many of the defendants in the Calcutta HC case are also named in the US child abuse case.

In the organisational structure that Swami Prabhupada created for ISKCON, he did not appoint a single or multiple guru as successor. Instead, he gave a written directive to the entire organisation as to how he would remain in the position of guru for the institution. Swami Prabhupada was clear on the policies that should be followed at the school. He felt children should not be beaten at all, and that they should simply be shown the stick.

What is highly deplorable in the US lawsuit is the aspersions cast on Swami Prabhupada by dragging his name into the case, says an ISKCON press release. Swami Prabhupada has been regarded the only Indian religious leader and acharya who spread the Sanatana dharma throughout the world. Today, in more than 60 countries his books are read in about 75 languages. The qualities of his writings is the simplicity with which he conveys the most profound knowledge. Within a span of 11 years he built a worldwide movement of 108 Krishna temples, purely founded on Vedic principles and knowledge.

3) In search of a lost childhood (Rediff)

http://www.rediff.com/us/2000/jun/29us.htm

by Shanthi Shankarkumar

Brigitte Rittenour's mother dropped her off at a Dallas gurukul (as the Hare Krishna boarding schools were called) when she was five. It was the beginning of a nightmare, which would haunt and scar her for the rest of her life. She and the other children were periodically lined up and beaten with a stick. One teacher would beat them with a fly swatter while another would pick her off the floor by the ear and throw her against the wall. She was asked to take a bath using cow manure and on occasions forced to drink cow urine.

The children were locked up in closets and if any of them spilt their milk, they were forced to lick it off the floor. When she once threw up her food, a particularly nasty teacher tried to get her to eat her vomit. But the worst was yet to come.

She was constantly sexually abused, but didn't know what was being done to her. "I was sexually abused at least 10-15 times in the Dallas school. Every time I was told that I was going to see the doctor, which didn't make sense because when we were sick we were not allowed to see the doctor. I would be blindfolded and then it was all so very painful," says Rittenour, now 31. She is one of the 44 plaintiffs who have filed a $ 400 million lawsuit against ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The former students of Hare Krishna boarding schools allege years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse at the hands of teachers at boarding schools in the United States and India.

The plaintiffs' attorney, Windle Turley, called the abuse "the most unthinkable abuse and maltreatment of little children we have seen. It includes rape, sexual abuse and maltreatment of little children as young as three years of age." Turley said the abuse started in 1972 with ISKCON's first school in Dallas, and continued in six schools in the US and two in India.

Rittenour has never really recovered from her traumatic childhood. She attempted suicide when she 12, and then as a 14-year-old was given in an "arranged marriage" by her mother to a 37-year-old ISKCON member. By the time she was 18 she was divorced with two children. "I knew nothing about living in the world. I did not know how to function socially, I had all kinds of fears about things," says Rittenour. What followed were a series of disastrous relationships, and a second marriage. She is now going through a divorce again after 13 years of marriage and four kids. She now has six children to look after, has no money and with no education to fall back on has run through a gamut of jobs.

"I still have trouble taking decisions. I have suffered from depression, and I've gone through counselling when my marriage was in trouble, but my therapist did not believe me when I told him all what had happened to me as a child," says Rittenour. The lawsuit is really her way of finding some kind of redemption in a situation that really offers none.

"It is not about revenge, that is God's business. But there should be some accountability", says Rittenour. Her parents continue to be members of ISKCON and blame her horrible childhood on her karma. Her mother, in fact, has gone to the extent of warning her that the lawsuit could be so blasphemous that "she would have her tongue cut off". Rittenour's is not a lone voice in this crisis threatening to tear apart an organization that allegedly preaches "God or Krishna consciousness".

Nirmal Hickey, 30, of Miami, Florida, is a quadriplegic, bound to his wheelchair. Tying him down tighter are fears born from a childhood that robbed him of his innocence. He remembers the horrors of the boarding school in Dallas -- getting up at 4 am to take cold showers, chanting Sanskrit prayers, sleeping on concrete floors, being constantly belittled and told scary stories about ghosts, spirits and an outside world filled with karmis who had to be avoided. "I escaped being sexually abused because of my father's position in the ISKCON hierarchy, but boys had to give blow jobs every day," he said. His father was the head of ISKCON's division on education.

When he was 16, Hickey fell off a tree on a Hare Krishna farm and broke his spinal cord. But the adults on the farm refused to call for an ambulance and instead piled him into a station wagon and drove him to a hospital 26 miles away. To this day Hickey is unable to understand the basis for their behaviour. "The adults did not want negative publicity once they realized there was a possibility of me being paralyzed. It just doesn't make sense," he says.

Hickey blames his parents for abandoning him, and, most of all, the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, for harbouring criminals and refusing to take action against the perpetrators of abuse even when it was brought to his notice. "The leadership is made up of criminals and even though people knew for years that all this was happening, they had a vested interest in making sure nothing really came out of all the complaints," says Hickey.

It was the height of the swinging Sixties when the Indian guru, Prabhupada, brought his form of Krishna-centred Hinduism to the United States. It was an age of spiritual emptiness for a generation raised on Vietnam and the euphoria of drugs. Soon, thousands of Westerners looking for peace and love were wearing dhotis and saris, living in Hare Krishna temples, chanting the mantra and leading the life decreed by their guru. George Harrison of the Beatles too took the chant up the pop charts, but there was more to nirvana than just singing "Hare Krishna Hare Rama" and shaving heads.

Prabhupada taught that celibacy was a means to achieve the highest spiritual state and even married couples were not to engage in sex more than once a month. He said children should be sent to boarding schools so that they could learn to be pure devotees. By 1976, there were 11 boarding schools in the United States and quite a few all around the world, including two in India.

The first complaints of abuse began in the 1980s. The movement had survived scandals involving drug and weapons charges against some leaders, but this one charge would return again and again to haunt it. Way back in 1996, the movement's leadership was first forced to confront the victims of abuse at a meeting in May 1996, when 10 former Hare Krishna students testified that they had been regularly beaten, denied medical care and sexually molested and raped homosexually at knife-point. Soon after, an organisation called Children of Krishna was established to provide counselling and to help with the education and support of young people who had been abused.

In 1998 an Office of Child Protection was set up to investigate all past cases of abuse and provide funding for victims of abuse. It compiled the names of 200 people who allegedly inflicted abuse in the 1970s and 1980s. So far, the office claims to have finished investigating 30 cases. In 1998, in an unusual display of candor, the Hare Krishna movement published the findings of a report written by an independent sociologist, Professor E Burke Rochford Jr, in its official journal. The findings revealed sexual molestation, beatings, public humiliation and isolation in roach-infested closets. Teachers, administrators and monks were among the abusers.

Last year, $ 750,000 was pledged to bring up the total commitment to the Child Protection Office to a million dollars. But most victims say the money has yet to be raised by ISKCON. While acknowledging the depth of the problem, Anuttama Dasa, the movement's North American director of communications, insists the malaise is a reflection of what is happening in society today. "If we look at America at that period, there was widespread abuse. Studies have shown that religious organisations are the most vulnerable to these kind of things for many reasons. For one, there are so many children and, second, relationships tend to be so trusting and abusers specifically infiltrate organisations where they can have access to kids," says Dasa.

He hastily adds that he does not mean to give an impression that ISKCON had no way of stopping the situation. "What I'm saying is that the problem is such a terrible one and that many schools and religious organisations have suffered from the same problem. It is an epidemic of modern society. I have a great fear that abuse is occurring in other places in India today and, terrible as it sounds, I hope this publicity will alert organisations in India too to be extremely cautious. "Judging by the reaction of people in India, they don't realise that it is happening all over the world," he says.

Something must have gone very wrong indeed with the system if such widespread abuse was prevalent in the 11 boarding schools in the US and the two in India. Nori Muster, who worked for 10 years as public relations secretary of ISKCON and editor of the organisation's newspaper, wrote a sensational book, Betrayal of Spirit, after she quit ISKCON in 1988. In this book, published in 1997, Muster writes about the almost Mafia-like activities of ISKCON -- from international drug smuggling to arms caches, child abuse and assassinations.

"Some dishonest people made their way up the organisation and when Prabhupada died, they just took it way up further," says Muster. She blames ISKCON's troubles on Prabhupada's attempts to inflict Indian customs and culture on a Western society that was unable to absorb the essence of an alien culture. Prabhupada introduced arranged marriages between devotees, he advocated celibacy and an almost mediaeval approach to women, whom he considered people of low intelligence who needed to be protected.

"If people believed in the concept of surrendering to the guru, then they could get them to do anything. It was something new for the Westerners not to question all this," says Muster. After all these years, Muster is still burdened with the guilt of being part of an organisation that was so far from the true teachings of Krishna. "It is unbearable to think that I once belonged to an organisation that did all these terrible things. I've suffered a lot too. Writing the book was healing for me," says Muster.

After years of dealing with one scandal after another, the Hare Krishna movement is now acknowledging that the legacy of abuse and the leadership's failure to grapple with the problems have led to many children and their parents leaving the movement. "This is the third generation. Prabhupada would say that when the third generation arrives, those will be the pure devotees, but these kids are being raised in poverty and they will never have the opportunities of the baby-boomer generation," says Muster.

The movement now claims an estimated 90,000 followers in the US, of whom only about 800 live full time in the group's 45 American spiritual communities or ashrams. At the movement's peak in the US in the late 1970s, about 10,000 devotees lived in American ashrams, but most now live and work outside the temples. Hare Krishnas left the movement en masse during the 1980s, when many devotees sensed a growing gap between the movement's values and the gurus' behaviour. In one case in the 1980s, a guru named Swami Bhaktipada was accused of ordering the murders of two members. In a plea bargain in 1996, he pleaded guilty to racketeering.

In recent years, the Hare Krishna movement has seen its biggest growth in Eastern Europe and India, where it was once regarded with contempt by native Hindus. Internationally, there are an estimated one million adherents to the Hare Krishna movement. Another significant shift is that where once the movement in the United States consisted almost entirely of Anglo converts to Hinduism, about half of the devotees worshipping at Krishna temples are recent immigrants from India and Asia.

According to sociologist Rochford, who has studied the movement and written articles on the widespread abuse, much of the harm occurred because the movement that prized celibacy did not value children. "Marriage and family life came to represent a sign of spiritual weakness," Rochford wrote in the article commissioned by an official ISKCON publication. Most parents, he wrote, "accepted theological and other justifications offered by the leadership for remaining uninvolved in the lives of their children". Few students recall telling their parents about the abuse. Letters were censored and family visits rare.

There have been several lawsuits arising from child abuse cases at Hare Krishna schools in Alachua and in New Vrindaban, West Virginia, but they do not approach the number or scope of such cases brought against the Roman Catholic church, which recently paid $ 30 million to settle a case of sexual abuse by a clergyman against several boys in Dallas. "There has been a surprising lack of suits up until now, for reasons I don't fully understand," said Rochford.

The movement also drew very young devotees, many in their late teens and early 20s. Most of them were hippies, drug addicts and sexual felons. Those who were not successful proselytizing and collecting contributions on the street were put to work in the movement's boarding schools. There was no screening of teacher candidates, no training, little financial support, high turnover and often as many as 20 students per teacher, the article reported.

Rochford adds, "The mentality of the time was that distributing the guru's books and engaging oneself in missionary activity was the most important service one could be involved in. People's status within the movement was very much based on their ability to be effective in those tasks. Sexuality and family were something for those that were spiritually weak."

Celibacy was the ideal, the article said. Gurukuls were started for the children to immerse students in spiritual life. It meant, according to its founder, cutting "the ropes of affection" between parent and child. Finally, the question which probably only Lord Krishna can answer: Is this the beginning of the end of the Hare Krishna movement?

4) JUST LIKE MY GODBROTHERS. THEY ARE DEAD MEN

My Guru Maharaja used to say, prana arthe yanra sei hetu pracara. "One who has got life, he can preach." The dead man cannot preach. So you become with life, not like dead man. Without life... Just like all my godbrothers. They are dead men. And therefore they are envious of my activities. They have no life. If you want to make easy-going life, showing the Deity and then sleep, then it is a failure movement.

(S.P.Morning Walk July 13, 1974, Los Angeles)

After 80 years, no one can expect to live long. My life is almost ended. So you have to carry on, and these books will do everything.

(Room conversation, 18th February 1976)

Note: Srila Prabhupada has life and he will continue to preach for 10,000 years in the form of his original books and lecture tapes.

My first concern is that my books shall be published and distributed profusely all over the world. Practically, books are the basis of our Movement. Without our books, our preaching will have no effect.

( S.P. Letter to: Mandali Bhadra 20 January, 1972)

Whatever progress we have made, it is simply to distributing these books. So go on, and do not divert your mind for a moment from this.

(S.P.L. to Ramesvara dasa 11/10/74)

Srila Prabhupada's godbrothers due to being on the material platform cannot preach. Even if they make a show of preaching they are actually just utilising Srila Prabhupada books to establish their bogus societies. Without Srila Prabhupada's books what will these dead men do ? Rather than giving those souls who have received Srila Prabhupada's association in the form of his books, a facility to further develop their relationship with him, they like the ruru's in isgone, try to take the honor which was due to Srila Prabhupada for themselves as pseudo spiritual masters.

These societies consist of the cheaters and the cheated. Any sincere souls who have received Srila Prabhupada's books will be protected from associating with these apa-sampradaya communities, isgone and gaudiya matha. The Lord in the heart will dictate to them not to go near these mayavadi hell holes and thus become doomed forever. After the coming nuclear war when all these demon ruru's are sent to hell, then all the sincere souls will be given facility to take birth again on this planet so they can take shelter of Srila Prabhupada's original mission, which will then be reestblished.

Prabhupada: Preaching will be very nice after the war when both of them, especially Russia, will be finished.......

( S.P. Morning Walk Conversation (World War III) April 4, 1975, Mayapur)

Note: Preaching will be very nice after the war when both of them, the ruru's in isgone and gaudiya matha, will be finished.......

So these rascals are going on. So it is very difficult to preach Krsna consciousness. The whole world is overburdened by these rascals and demons. So atom, atom bomb is waiting for them. Yes. It will be finished. All the demons will be finished.

(Srimad-Bhagavatam Lec. 1.8.34 Los Angeles, April 26, 1973)

.......envious demons in the garb of religious propagandists shall be thrown into the darkest regions of hell (Bg. 16.19-20). Sri Isopanisad confirms that these pseudo religionists are heading toward the most obnoxious place in the universe after the completion of their spiritual master business, which they conduct simply for sense gratification. (Sri Isopanisad Mantra 12)

Note: The atom bomb is waiting for all the ruru's in isgone and the gaudiya matha. YES. IT WILL BE FINISHED. ALL THE ENVIOUS DEMONS WILL BE FINISHED. HARI HARI BOL !!!!!!!!!

Not generally seen in this world, the ruru is more envoius than a snake.

(S.B. 5.26.11)
