I have unbelievable trama from being in the external ISKCON, for my whole life 44 years, culminating in New Vrndavan Kicking me out and Banning me what you described when you went to Radhanath swami, is exactly how I was delt with, Shunned, Demonized, not given a voice, made out to be crazy. I was able to speak to you and I feel so blessed , Krsna has given me someone who can empathize, and understand what that kind of trauma is. I feel I am actually beginning to heal. My heart is with you, and you have my complete support. I'm posting your Video on my page. And Championing your right to speak out.
I grew up around New Vrindavan my Dad wasn't a devotee but worked at the machine shop there so as a kid I was always playing on the grounds. I almost got bit by kirtinanandas dog! But I also made friends with a lot of people and still go there today as I live like fifteen minutes away. My Dad told me lots of stories like how he delivered guns and drugs for kirtinananda.
So many of you have gone thru a living hell as children in ISKCON. my heart goes out to all of you.I have stepped away from the movement but not Krishna. It's very hard to be vaishnavi like when you are alone but Krishna sends good association when needed. I'm greatful that I never took initiation from Any " guru " and keep Srila Prabhuoada in my heart...you are an inspiration. I am happy you spoke out about this. All of you who were mistreated,abused,molested seem to have no authorities that will listen. It's a shame and very sad. I wish you only the best
I am the same. I feel Srila Prabhupada has been the only guru we have had. We don’t live by any temple so we read, give books, recognize Ekadasi and the holy days, chant, & follow what the Bagavatam and Bhagavadgita say. I’m sad so many kids were harmed 😢
Dear Jvalamukhi, thank you for sharing your story of courage. It takes a women with a solid spine to speak up against a powerful organization. I am also a Hindu, I firmly believe that you don't need anyone other than Krishna himself. The original Hinduism had no organizations, no central authority, no leadership. All you need is Krishna and a copy of Bhagavad Gita. I fully understand that Hinduism has placed a lot of importance on guidance of a Guru but I have always felt your Guru is within you. I truly hope that you have found healing and closure and that you are leading a fulfilling and a happy life. May Lord Krishna's grace be upon you, your children and husband.
You are so brave mata ji ! There were some who were killed! For raising their voice! Hare Krishna 🙏 you are real Deevotee of Krishna it's sure Krishna is always protecting you! Hare Krishna 🙏
The sad truth is that the leadership of ISKCON cares far more about projecting an image of holiness to the world rather than actual holiness. A devotee who is actually advanced would rather suffer the shame and embarrassment of returning to the Grhastha ashram than to even think about causing harm to another devotee. I shamefully admit that I was one of Bhavananda's Brahmana initiates, and now, 40 years later I still live in fear of the ISKCON leadership. These are the unholiest of men. I totally admire your courage and strength . You are an example to all devotees.
@@manjugangele8631 @Jagabandhu Nayak LISTEN YOU ATTEMPTING POLITE BHAKTI YOGI, STOP SWITCHING ISSUES! YOU JUMP LIKE MONKEY. IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING POLITE OR PRAYING.

'' @Digital108 WHAT DO YOU WANT; TO SPECULATE OR relaying ON DOCUMENTED ISSUE? PRABHUPAD GOT FROM THE LORD KRISHNA GARLAND, PHYSICALLY DID ANYONE IN 'POST-PRABHUPADA TIME' EVER REPEAT THE SAME? YES OR NO?''
I’m sorry Mataji for what has happened. I’m so sorry. I know how powerless you feel. Krsna will perform karma on those who deserves it. Please ask Lord Krsna for guidance to lead you to a true spiritual master for initiation. Prabupada and Lord Krsna will always be there for us. Keep up chanting and reading the Bhagavatam.
Don't worry mother... you will get justice... Just move on... Krishna knows everything and he is seeing everything...he will take care of the real culprits...no body can escape karma whether its good or bad and the people who is telling lies will get more punishment...Krishna is always on Dharma side whether he is his Bhakt or not example is Vaamana Avatar...
"And the Truth all set you free" thank you for your brave stand, for yourself and for thousands of victims in ISKCON, especially those educated in the gurukula system, not all gurukulas nowadays
You have Srila Prabhupada's lectures online and MOST IMPORTANTLY you have Krishna. That is ALL that matters. Everyone else is a rascal. They will pay for their karma. Give your heart entirely to Krishna. Just take refuge in Krishna. Krishna will cut the knots of your karma. You DO NOT need any other self proclaimed spiritual gurus from ISKCON. Hare Krishna.
@@kayn6396 I doubt that! one small rape? lol are yous kidding! this worlds full to the brim with rape! every animal here is raping, I had a guinea-pig that raped his own children! lol wake-up snow flakes! these people you are criticizing are nothing compared to people I have meet! there is people here who murder thousands of people! rape women every other day! kill millions of animals, whole populations of rapists and killers! whole countries suffering etc.... let alone if we look back in history or in to the less civilised peoples!? get your heads out of your asses! Srila Prabhupada new what his disciples were like! new they had issues! but who gives a shit? they started a world wide movement, distributing and promoting every kind of good ideal and culture! What have yous all done with your lives? everyone in kaliyuga is implicated! shitting in the rivers? poisoning the air! taking part in the mass exploitation! producing unwanted fatherless children! I have been amongst so many spiritual groups and non are as productive, and having a positive affect as much as Iskcon! I also used to think the worst of Srila Prabhupada's devotees, but look around? all these organisations are either debauched or useless! and the governments are horrendous! america and its endless wars murdering millions of women and children! spreading feminism-and fatherless children! russia and china and their murder of religious and alternative populations and so much evil is going on in so many countries that I think your out of your heads to criticize Iskcon! since we got this internet and access to some of the reality here on earth? I have realized just how dark this world is! our leaders are all full time fucking pedophiles and atheists who seek to destroy the family and society like hiranyakasipu's! you really need to look deeper into where yous are! Radhanath could kill and rape a hundred people and still be considered saintly! honestly your ignorant as fuck to criticize! and many of the ritvics I have meet are drug addicts etc...and fault-find addicts and would have faulted Srila Prabhupada himself like His god-brothers did! I have a crazy background and have endeavored to change my demoniac persona for this past twenty years but its not so easy! any person dealing with people like me will tell you that! trauma! drug addiction! neglect! abuse! prison! etc.... destroy our persona's and condition us and their is no quick easy rehabilitation and not everyone is strong or has faith to follow one hundred percent! and even those that do follow strictly take years to weed out their own selfish motivations! I think your as insane as the people yous are all faulting to expect absolute rehabilitation of the conditioned kaliyugarites yous are faulting! I hate my faults and the way I can be, but it runs deep and not a simple fix! It took me years to read prabhupada's books because I was neglected, abandoned and abused as a kid and would not trust these people, so had to read the books myself! and I'm sure not all of prabhupad's disciples trusted him! Anyway I have done many bad things and are glad I never became a Guru or I would have been a power hungry psychopath drug dealing womenizing nutter like so many other cult leaders, thankfully I have been getting kicked around by karma and slowly purified of my mentalities etc... I think the people here don't really understand the reality due to having their heads in the sand or being a bit simple etc... Its Kaliyuga and this is and evil world full of rapists, groomers, control freaks, murderers, and stupid ignorant sheeple! voting for monsters, Animals really, Iskcons leaders don't even count for evil in this world. Yous need to look around at other leaders and people in positions of power! they are murdering and raping little kids and women and innocent people in the millions and setting up things that cause so much suffering and destruction that its actually heavy on the soul to realize! I don't have much myself to do with iskcon these days as I also am to much of a fault finding hypocrite, but thats the new agenda for me! to snap out of being so heavy, as its delusional! Indradyumna and co are still going spreading Vedic culture to millions with book distribution and prasadam etc.... still having a positive effect that far outweighs a few deviations! Srila prabhupada once told his disciple if he has to eat meat! to Bad! just preach! and there are many such instances where He didn't give a shit about etiquette and regulations, like giving a bunch of mad westerners sannyas! here's a quote from Srimad Bhagavatam for you's! TRANSLATION The King said: O you, who are in the form of a bull! You know the truth of religion, and you are speaking according to the principle that the "destination intended for the perpetrator of irreligious acts is also intended for one who identifies the perpetrator". You are no other than the personality of religion. PURPORT A devotee's conclusion is that no one is directly responsible for being a benefactor or mischief-monger without the sanction of the Lord; therefore he does not consider anyone to be directly responsible for such action. But in both the cases he takes it for granted that either benefit or loss is God-sent, and thus it is His grace. In case of benefit, no one will deny that it is God-sent, but in case of loss or reverses one becomes doubtful about how the Lord could be so unkind to His devotee as to put him in great difficulty. Jesus Christ was seemingly put into such great difficulty, being crucified by the ignorant, but he was never angry at the mischief-mongers. That is the way of accepting a thing, either favorable or unfavorable. Thus for a devotee the identifier is equally a sinner, like the mischief-monger. By God's grace, the devotee tolerates all reverses. Mahārāja Parīkṣit observed this, and therefore he could understand that the bull was no other than the personality of religion himself. In other words, a devotee has no suffering at all because so-called suffering is also God's grace for a devotee who sees God in everything. The cow and bull never placed any complaint before the King for being tortured by the personality of Kali, although everyone lodges such complaints before the state authorities. The extraordinary behavior of the bull made the King conclude that the bull was certainly the personality of religion, for no one else could understand the finer intricacies of the codes of religion. Edit
This is me here again after 7 years and I sincerely want to apologise to you jvalamukhi devi dasi that I could not believe your testimony. It was hard for me to believe in the past that anyone can actually go that demoniac in our Prabhupada’s movement but now I understand kali has entered all spheres. I am not sure if every incident i get to know is accurate but one truth i understand now is that severe abuse was afflicted to hundreds of children and individuals and it breaks my heart. Keeping silent after knowing the atrocities is also injustice and in a way supporting perpetrators and thats what ISKCON GBC has been doing. No one should have to go through what you experienced Jvalamukhi.🙏
You are amazing. I know how it feels to be abandoned/disappointed by a guru who made you think he really cared about you. I'm so sorry these things happened to you. xoxo
This video Made My Faith Stronger that Prabhupada is Only Guru. July 9th Letter Of Prabhupada really need ed to understand by All Devotees of Krishna Consciousness without emotions attachment and Enviousness. Thank You for Sharing Mataji.
The higher the expectations we have of others, the more painfully disappointing they are. We need to be realistic about that this world can be a very dark place. Everyone is struggling here. Krishna is not looking for perfection. He is looking for the LOVE
Thank you for your brave video! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how painful it is to be abused and mistreated by a guru. I‘m so sorry you had to go through this horror. 😔🍀🙏
This is why in Kali Yuga no one should give themselves to any man. Give yourself to Krishna only. Develop Buddhi (spiritual reasoning) and be weary of all. Iskcon says it is an offense to disobey a guru. So people have experiences like this and just keep obeying because they’re afraid not to. Very dangerous.
Just a note on Kirtananda as people commented below on him.. Srila Prabhupada:"So far as Kirtanananda's chapter is concerned, forget all this, Maya's play. Kirtanananda is a crazy man. That is proved. We shall be sorry for Kirtanananda's plight under Maya and may not waste our valuable time talking about him. The best thing that you have done is that he should no longer speak in our temples. We shall all pray to Krishna for his recovery & only by His grace can he come back to his real identity." [SP. Letter]
Radhanath is notorious for protecting sexual predators. Just look back at West Virginia and history repeats itself again. He was so manipulative with this woman.
@@SpiritualSchmuck 1. I know vrindavan and mayapur gurukul where kids are happy, if this system is there then there is no way it was not followed then, 2. 'ask to parents' someone being a parent does not prove they have no envy. 3. I can also claim fictitious things relating to your father like you are telling about my father but they will be fake as I have no evidence,similarly here 4.these so called parents themselves have no evidence and I can bet on that. Give next argument or go away. Of if you still want proper talk meet me in iskcon delhi.
U did right thing jvalamukhi ,am proud of u , they need to b kick out from Krishna place, this radha bath swami should be kick out if proper principles is not in place ,
Dear Mata ji, We have very less time left as human body. I suggest you to spend remaining time to think about only Krishna. All types of people will come and go you can digest this memory just by accepting ' Whatevers situation we are facing it just because we deserve nothing else' and obviously we don't know our previous karma. Just pray to Krishna to get pure devotee. He will help you best. Hare Krishna
Thank you for your bravery . I'm a Krishna devotee who has no association with ISKCON, and never will. I will amplify your story but n the small way that I'm capable
I mentioned this Mataji just now during the Bhaktivedanta Live this evening, when talking about Radhanath Swami’s lack of integrity! Radhanath Swami’s lecture is going on there at the minute! So I was frank and left the live!
Dear sister, first of all u are one of the bravest women who dare to speak up. But u know something- no matter what happens, KARMA ALWAYS CATCHES up! When someone sins in the name of God the sin multiplies multifold. They abused u in the garb of the SUPREME- KRISHNA- their punishment as well will be as devastating whether u believe this or not. KRISHNA DWELLS WITHIN THE SOUL. If u trust your creator, plz trust in his JUSTICE FOR U. THANKS A TON FOR EXPOSING such EVIL PERSONS- I wish I could abuse...More power to u sister. I will remember u in my prayers. By the time u read it- u will be healed. Hare Krishna🙏. Om Namah Shivay 🙏
Jvalamukhi Devi Dasi. Respects. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. It makes me SO happy to know about you and how you have been able to deal with all the abuse and it's pain and that on top, you have been able to make yourself well and are doing all you can, so others are not victimized by the., "as good as Krishna" gurus. To see your stand, makes me understand, that Srila Prabhupada's original movement of only love, will be victorious, nay, it is victorious. Have no doubt that Srila Prabhupada's and Krishan's mercy will always be there for you, your husband and your children, with NO doubt. If things get tough, you also have Jayananda das prabhu and thousands of Prabhupadanugas all over the world that wish only protection and pure bhakti for you and all. Devotees should do a search using the key words., Radhanath Swami and Sulocan Das, to find how it seems only good legal council helped Radhanath Swami to walk from that case. You are totally right. Srila Prabhupada, Jayananda das, Srila Prabhupada's books and Prabhupadanugas that care about you and not only about your money and service to them, is all you need!! The younger ones, should not be afraid and expose and preach the right philosophy. KC is NOT about abuse, but only about love!! Srila Prabhupada ki jai!!
This is an important lesson and learning in the life of every sincere person traveling the Way from birth and death to eternal life. ISKCON exists, in part, to impart to the wayfarer the painful lesson of the corrupt priest who betrays even the meaning of moral human life. She traveled that path of understanding by being guided by her own moral compass. 5 Stars to her plus eternal credit.
Hare Krishna. Wow. Great testimony. I'll never understand Radhanath's appeal. He has always been quite a phony to me. The way he presents that fake accent drives me nuts when I used to try to listen to him pronouncing his "R's" like "T's" Why do his followers and colleagues let him get away with that???? And also the way he slows down his speech pattern to try to make himself sound more enlightened and intelligent. Such a fake.
And silly humans believe he's a pure devotee.! Just look into his eyes. Pure deceit, yet his blind followers are gleefully following him to hell, while ready to fight you to death for being so offensive as to speak the truth. Haribol
I met once Radhanat Swami, anyway: the Swami made no impression on me. Just an old American Jew in a bad health telling you the usual things a New Age Guru is expected to tell mixed with the well-known Hare Krishna set of beliefs.
I used to listen to dozens of his lectures. When I met him has tears in my eyes oddly he gave me the creepiest look I will never forget it was as if I was a prostitute it was odd can’t listen to him since then. ISKCON is being ruled by dark entities. Their stance on vaccines is plain proof
I too grew up in Iskcon and that same time but I was protected by a powerful family so I wasn’t harmed but I could see the harm that was being done to my sisters in the Iskcon schools ( gurukulas ) I have been trying to connect with my sisters and no one in Iskcon will tell me where they are and they don’t wanna talk about them . I don’t understand it I miss them very much I want to meet them so badly. I married have children who are grown up settled well . I need to meet my God sisters . Remember one thing all we need is Srila Prabhupada and Krishna everything we need to know are in his books, in the Gita & Srimad Bhagavatam !!! Just do your chanting like Srila Prabhupad said . You don’t need any of these fake gurus who are Pedophile and killers of their own guru! All these Fake made up gurus will behind the Poisoning Srila Prabhupad! Please don’t go after them do not leave your children alone with them.These gurus are all demons in disguise. I am so proud of you.
Wow, you grew up in it, survived only because your family keep abusers away from you, you saw kids being abused, you see the evil clearly, and you see nothing wrong with that. Wow. You are deep in the cult, hope you get the help you need
@@vasuyadav5456 Radhanath was instrumental in the murder of Salochan das. His wife and two sons were STOLEN by another demon kirtanananda posing as an iskcon guru. Both these demons destroyed the lives of thousands of devotees. Radhanath got away with murder because his father was a gangster in those days. Probably had contacts in the police department. Its important to note PRABHUPADA NEVER EVER APPOINTED A SINGLE GURU, NEITHER OUTSIDE OR INSIDE OF ISKCON They're all a part of a sinister movement within the iskcon movement....which PRABHUPADA warned us about. Please accept Prabhupada as your siksha and diksha guru...that's all you need to go back home. Do this and YOU WILL FEEL Prabhupada and Krsna's presence.
I am so sorry to hear what happened. Stay strong mataji. Krishna will deal with these rascals. I researched about this a bit. Most gurus in iskcon are appointed by the GBC and are appointed without reaching the desired level of qualification. Even shrila prabhupada in his last letter wrote that he is appointing 11 of his disciples (only as shiksha guru) who will make disciples for him (on his behalf) as he will be the only diksha guru for the next 10,000 years for every devotee but unfortunately no one correctly understood his words and things like these occur. Only a bona fide guru ( only shrila prabhupada) who was situated in the transcendental realm could take us back to godhead not these so called gurus. All glories to shrila Prabhupada
It's welcoming to learn from the comments that there aren't blind devotees who flock behind men pretending pious. Just devotees who believe in Krishna.
I was a Devotee of Hansadutta dass. In the Seattle temple. My history went back to the San Francisco temple. (my first contact) I knew of a Jayananda dass who had recently passed. Over the next few years I regularly visited the Berkley temple. Later visiting the Denver temple. (My home state) Returning to San Francisco temple before moving to Seattle, where I was admitted to the temple on my birthday . Later receiving first imitation from Hansadutta dass. Given the name “Jagad guru dass. I never knew of his problems or the abuse of women and children until many years after I had left the movement. I found my way in a church of the East, “St. Thomas the Apostle Thomas who had established an Aramaic speaking “ETA” in south India. The lifetime Archbishop patriarch Dr. Joseph Vredenburgh and his wife took me in and I found my calling working with them for over 40 years till their passing. I’m still fully committed to this path. Theirs was a wholesome family. They were docents at all the natural reserves in the area. I am also a member of the Noorha Foundation. The Aramaic school of light. I’m so very happy now! ❤
It's very disturbing how many of these corrupt so called spiritual leaders are still in positions are of power & authority. More brave devotees like this need to organize and formally challenge & exose these corrupt "leaders".
Yes Ricky, some of us are just waiting for the right time to act. I joined Iskcon in 1973 and have seen the destruction of Prabhupada's Iskcon, day by day, month by month, changing everything, not only His books, everything about the philosophy and everything in Iskcon. I have tried to incite some of my Godbrothers, trouble is, not a kshatriya amongst them. They'd rather gripe about the situation, not realizing that a revolution is required, which of course, implies some violence. No shit ! Most of the Newbies in Iskcon don't know squat and are blinded by false adoration towards the false gurus. Lord Krishna will empower those who are ready to die, fighting for Srila Prabhupada and His body ( Iskcon) Patience, my dear friend patience, I know it's hard, I've been waiting for the last 9 yrs. since I made a solemn promise to my eternal guru, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhu[ada. Hope to see you on the battlefield Om Tat Sat
Like This person said. I would never join ISKCON exactly for the reason that this girl is talking about. You must never have doubt in your believes and you must be free to practice without being taken advantage of. I am glad I am a Vajrayana Buddhist and I found Vajrayogini and Chakrasamvara before ISKCON thank the universe for that!
Your closing words were really poignant here Sister. Yes. Its seduction. That is such a great word for it. All of this shows how deep his psychosis is. I am so glad that You have made this video to help others think about these leaders more intelligently and clearly without sentimental feeling of what a guru is meant to look like. Did you write Your book?
The best way is to remain connected with SP in association with the honest early Disciples of SP who were Kicked out of ISKCON by power hungry gurus. They have online sangas on CC, BG and SB which are very enlightening and eye opener for any aspiring Devotee associated with Iskcon. ruclips.net/video/oqpXCOvKaL8/видео.htmlsi=rqEa2q0731ik2UWR

SpunkeeMonkee you feminist materialist Vaishnav offender get out of here and bark in some other place.... Prabhupada Swami said all things according to shastras..if you have problem then read shastras and many Indian Guru can help you..nothing is the shastras are baseless,if anything is prescribed,then absolutely it has a valid purpose..but the kali's foll jivas can't easily understand these with out a Guru.
@SpunkeeMonkee So you blaspheme and expect other to sit around and shower love on you? Get your ABCs clear on how things work first deluded girl! Nobody is "judging" you, you are just being dumb. Can't blame others if you're acting like an ass...
@Mat Mclean let me give you a method or mantra(if you like transcendental stuff🤣)for identifying that. It goes something like this: "Anyone except the person who says that women enjoys rape". There you have it.
Suffering can be seen in her eyes. That 's why, for the young ladies, the solution is to take shelter in a good husband who will protect her from predators and give advice how to be out of their reach.
If you truly wish to come in contact with Krishnas pure representative then you shall. In the meantime avoid these rascals at all costs. ISKON is not what it used to be.....
You are very brave to speak out like this. There is no excuse for the abuse that so many have suffered under the guardianship of so many presumed spiritual leaders. The fact that they allowed the abuse to happen, and continue, is an indication that their consciousness is not pure. Demons in the dress of devotees.
In 96 I saw this Radhanath jumping around like a self-absorbed egocentric doll on Harinam... I found Gaur Govinda Maharaja...and then Narayan Maharaja thankfully..Iskcon lasted that one Saturday night for me... I was very new and my eyes were very open ..all glories to Prabhpada and Vaisnavas
Dear lady, I'm so sorry for the things you suffered as a child. You are a mother. My mother would ofter tell me, "There's nothing like a mother's love" I miss her. But the life lessons she taught me live in me. God bless you.
John Martin every living entity is suffering that's why where here if you want to feel sorry for someone feel sorry for the starving children all around the word actually what happens to us is our karma there are worse than her a devotee doesn't glorify there suffering rather they see it as the lord mercy
What a wonderful, big hearted lady. She didn't deserve to be treated so unkindly. But she was, and she's survived. Still has that big-hearted smile. Good luck to you and you family, they are fortunate to have you.
I would say that "unkindly" is a gross understatement. She was abused, her complaint was neglected, and she was indirectly intimidated to not speak out about it by the most prominent and respected leader in ISKCON.
They back people like Kirtananda because he gave them what they wanted, and allowed them to do as they pleased. He didn't restrict behaviors that should have been curtailed. It's a very sad state of affairs, but too many devotees never spent any time learning how to relate to others properly. Prabhupada taught that women and children should be protected, and few people actually followed that instruction. He also said that the future of the movement was with the children. These guys who have been running things have worked hard at ruining that legacy. One of the 26 qualities of a devotee is to be willing to show all respect to others while not expecting any, to be more humble than a blade of grass. I know of few who are actually humble, fewer still who know how to behave properly. One thing in the scriptures that Prabhupada wrote is that if one remains attached to sex life they should not be regarded as a spiritual master. Funny how the old boys club tends to overlook certain teachings and never repeat them, and Prabhupada emphasized these ideas by repeating them in his books.
My dear girl, I am in awe of your humility and straightforwardness! Rare in the institution that has happened to Srila Prabhupada’s MOVEMENT (maybe it’s Iskcon?) I don’t know why? These things happen. We saw how Kirtanananda dealt with a woman talking back to him. When I was in India I threatened by a very scared Calcatta
Kaliyuga and maya is very strong. Many times these things happen to tests us or some misconceptions ,miscommunication etc..we should always think tht how fortunate we are that we got introduced with spiritual path and Bhakti and keep engaged in services. Of someone taking mis advantage of position or seniority then Krishna is watching it..moreover ignore and stay away those who seems to be superficial and associates with those who are serious and honest...Hare Krishna
Shocked to hear this story as this is the 1st time listening to abuse in ISKCON. I always wondered how is it possible these people remain so saintly despite hunger for big temples, money, luxury and lots of young and beautiful devotees to exploit. Thank you for restoring my faith in mankind. No matter how much we pretend to be this or that, at the end of the day, we are all animals.
Well you are an animal and just because you are an animal doesnt mean that everyone else is the same. First of all momentary fall down can happen to anyone because no one is a perfect nitya siddha like Srila Prabhupada. Secondly just because ONE person did something wrong you cant blame everyone in the society. You have poor logical thought process. Proves that you're the animal here.
For doing injustice to one woman named Droupathi, Krishna killed everyone who did that, who supported that and even those who were silent without stopping that. Krishna says this to Droupathi before going to mediate on-behalf of pandavas with Kauravas to avoid war. Krishna confirms and assures Droupathi that He is going to set a war so that everyone who were in that place on that day will be killed without any mercy. He even wanted to kill Pandavas for not objecting that heinous act, but based on Droupathi's request, he spared them. Aswadhama & Vidhura are 2 people who objected the act so they were spared. Krishna isn't going to leave any of these guys, have trust on Him. Change your guru. Stay away from anyone who support these guys. If you want to move away from ISCKON and still stay close to Krishna, follow Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, he is an enlightened soul with lot of integrity.
In many temples they dont say its a temple anymore, a Devotee told me we clean here just like in a business and it disturbed me. God is not a business and should be available to anyone, the new Devotees are doing everything they can to keep fallen souls out of the temple.
I couldn't pass a judgement by listening to one side. But why does one need to give the heart any one but God himself, it simply doesn't make any sense, he is the true guru within, the outer mentor is just for introducing one to that true guide within. I'm sorry to hear this but the simple solution is to get back to the true and the innermost guide. "Abandon all dharmas and take refuge in Me alone. I will deliver thee from all sin and evil, do not grieve." -Bhagavad Gita 18.66
The internal and external guru is non different in that they both give us instructions for our spiritual benefit. If one neglects the external guru then on is also neglecting the internal guru. These ideas come about by not educating ourselves properly in the spiritual science. It is a science and not some sort of sentiment that whatever you think is right is right. We can mislead ourselves very well.
Mataji, as long as u believe in Krishna & u always conscious of Him... You should not focus on the international society Men Made. The founder of the society wrote mostly all He could, All glories to Shrila Praphupada for this... The rest dont care! Am sorry for the issues u went through. But stay Strong Jai Shri Krishna!!!
Very revealing testimony and not surprising. Very courageous Lady and Disciple of Srils Prabhupada. Hope that you are doing well after six years. Bless you. "Srila Prabhupada is our leader, the holy name is our main weapon and the original Bhagavad Gita As It Is is our war plan. And for the support of Srila Prabhupada, with a firm reliance on Krsna, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honour".
"Our point should be that we shall take all necessary steps for self-protection, depending on the results on Krsna. We should not idly sit down simply depending on Krsna. Arjuna had to fight in the battlefield, but at the same time he heard Bhagavat Gita. Our motto shall be like that. Neither shall fight alone, without Krsna consciousness, nor we shall give up all possible facilities or precautions." His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada The world needs Teachers no showbottle pontificators of any stripe. Devotees only picking and choosing from the books without teaching the whole book. Many so-called religious leaders have been doing that for years. If one goes to an establishment for a meal, they are not just offered samples from the menu they are given the full menu. Sectarianism has spread deep and wide with Hare Krishna's of any stripe. This is the book that Srila Prabhupada wanted distributed, and it was until it was removed by the BBT. This is the book and not one word has been changed. theharekrishnamovement.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/teaching_and_study_guide_to_bhagavad-gita_as_it_is.pdf
Brave Lady, Good Lady. You may both be right; perhaps Radhanath just doesn't know, and so feels it would be wrong to act by withdrawing support for The Abuser. ON the other hand, he could acknowledge your statement as a witness, in a serious quiet way, and tell you he shall note it and listen out. However, I go by vibes (sure, after a break for a period of learning); The guy is a self-adoring puppet, well ingratiated in the corruption, if not a prime mover behind the scenes, himself. He has been a silent witness to much corruption - he turns a blind eye because he has been given a position.
mataji be strong. no human no matter how spiritually advanced he/she is, will be flawed. let these people not be an obstacle to becoming one with Radha Madhav. Haribole! Best xx
Its the same with all religions. It starts out for good with a good leader but once that leader passes the movement gets highjacked by rascals and thats what happened to the hare krishna movement. After Prabhupad passed that was it. I grew up around new vrindavan so i know how bad it can get.
I would have not expected any different outcome: a woman comes there with accusations against a former leader, this swami listens daily to thousands of messages, grievances and petitions. ' contact the legal authorities' period.
this happens in many organised religion there are those that hide crimes as they think it will make the religion look bad while in actuality it the hiding of the crime that reflects worse.
Unfortunately, humans will do anything for ego, power and fame. These so called swamis think less about God and more about themselves. Anyway, we have this wonderful law created by God called Karma. Everyone pays for their karma. If not in this birth then in some other birth. But pay they will. Hare Krishna.
Christians, at least some of the Protestant denominations preach and teach: Do not rely on men but on GOD ( Krishna ) ALONE. It is so true men will always disappoint and betray but GOD--never. It never happened to me,- and I am walking with God all my life. Glory to the Lord, Hare Krishna, Alahu Akbar.....
A few years ago I spoke on the phone with Jvalamukhi ...She will not unfortunately tell you this in her video ...but here what she told me . Jvalamukti told me that she was sexually molested as a toddler by BHAVANANDA and her own father in an appt in Los Angeles ...It seems that Bhavananda would have sexually assaulted her with the blessings and participation of her own father . Now is this true? Or is it what some psychologist would call false memories ?? Jvalamukti should make a video explaining in details what she think happen to her ...because for now it is just accusations that must be especially painful for her father . As far as Radhanath he is a screw up false guru for sure ....but he was right to say TRERE IS NO PROOF TO THE ACCUSATIONS OF JVALAMUKHI ..... Be even more brave Jvalamukhi and tell the whole story in a video in details ...Where ...how many times ...and the role of your father in all those molestations events .
Dear Jvala...stay strong! We are many WHO will be there for You...dont You worry anymore...know that your Heart Is strong and wil be pure...Hare Krishna!
Jvalamukhi's testimony may help explain how Radhanatha is able to hobnob among elite social gatekeepers - the "Controllers". As Whitney Webb points out in her book One Nation Under Blackmail, you're allowed into the Controller's Club only if you possess a personality that LIMITS other peoples' access to true liberation. AND establishment figures need to know THE DIRT on you, so if you happen to step over the line, they can rein you in or cut you down by exposing the skeletons in your closet.
This is a world run by demons, Sister. Keep close to Krishna. For He is known as Atchuta or infailable. Humans are purely chuta-failable. God will deliver the sincere and destroy the fraudsters. Hare Krishna!
Actually one of my friends is associated with them. I don't think she will be able to face this side of ISKCON. That's why all I do is pray everyday that may Divine Krishna show her the way out before it is too late.😔🙏please pray for her and everyone else
My sympathies and gratitude for you Jvalamukhi dasi. Not everyone knows the pain of being let down by your idol. They sell you the idea of guru-disciple succession and surrender, and seduce you with praise and nice words, only to realize your dignity is of no concern. You voice your concerns, and then they say you are crazy so they can have deniability, upon closing their doors on you. For years they train you to not associate with non-devotees, until you find yourself on the outside struggling to fit in with the rest of society. The disappointment and anger with the leadership becomes a crisis and its very confusing. You start to ask yourself was it all a lie? I know I did. My experience has taught me alot about myself. I sought the absolute truth, and learned the absolute truth about myself. I was young, naive, easily impressed, and had poor relations with friends and family. I also had dependency issues and lacked my own identity. This is your demographic, and the organization knows it fully well using it to their advantage unethically, inevitably to the detriment of the community and the individual. It is even of greater tragedy to learn that the victim's children end up being abused, and that the truth is suppressed. Let us not forget this continues in Krishna's name under his banner and therefore this is also to Govinda's detriment. It took me a long time to realize I interacted with a poorly managed and corrupt organization. But also its not what you walk away from. Its what you walk away with. I still chant the Maha-Mantra and study the Bhagavad Gita. I don't dabble with human idolization, and I don't recommend it for anyone.
First time I heard this from the mouth of a victim... now I am a believer of the bad side of the iskcon so- called gurus. I was also so "brainwashed" that I never clicked on anything against iskcon gurus. Now my eyes are open.
@@rajatsaha4230 We should follow Gita and Upanishads with an open mind, in my opinion. Not blindly. These timeless scriptures are the guide of humankind..
My dear Prabhu, Thank you so much for your heartfelt story of the pain you experienced. Despite what he said, know that Paramatma has no trouble keeping tabs on individuals who are devoted, like yourself. Paramatma NEVER has trouble knowing the hearts of each and every living entity. As the Super Excellent Witness He does not miss a thing, and surely sees the "muddied hearts" of the abusers. It is good to see you "come out" into the light of day to speak the truth. My heart is also broken by all of the pain and tragedy in ISKCON. I'm a Prabhupada disciple who had an arranged marriage with Brahmananda, the first "fallen" sannyasi. He handled me roughly, and divorced me through the mail, through the auspices of his dear lawyer friend BhaktiTirtha, yet who can criticize the great Brahmananda? WE are the real devotees who feel love and devotion despite the trauma and drama of a life tainted with debauchery. Krsna is our strength and we are full in our Love for Him. Gopamatrka dd
Thank you so much for your sincere words of encouragement and obvious faith in your own journey to Krishna's Lotus feet through all of the hardship and trials. Very much appreciate your support and kind words.
Since my husband took initiation with Indradyumna swami our lives feel apart and after twenty years together now a divorce. Totally after our resources I have almost felt a demonic presence
***Somewhere on the comments, some Radanatha's admirer, named Sankarshana, cracked a joke! He said that, quoted:''Radhanatha Swami has a saintly qualities.'' But i think that ''Radhanatha'' and ''saintly qualities'' should not be used in the same sentence. Other way, you're commited an offence to all good Swamis in Iskcon. Radanath is known for a person of cloth wich job is not clean since decades. And since decades devotees had reported him for various crimes - actual, and also indirect like hiding the crimes of his collegues - the false swamis. And still the Iskcon autorities still keep their eyes closed. And so thier consciousness apparently. And for that they all shoud withdraw from any activities, connected with spiritual advising and keeping the followers as Spiritual Masters. No more excuses! And no more cover-ups! All eyes are on you now, dear Self-serving ''Swamis''. You can't hide your shamefdul crimes no more! But pitty - even so, still you continiue to collect hundreds disciples each year! So, maybe they deserve you. If they don't want to wake up and see your true face - let them seek a spiritual shelter into your stinky feet! Let them! But their bill is on you! :))
Hare Krishna Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories unto Srila Prabhupada. I apologize if anything negative activities has occurred. It's most dangerous to commit any offenses towards any Vaisnava or Vaisnavi devotee of the Lord. Krishna can forgive any offenses that are to him but never to his devotees or Vaisnavi's. If we are knowingly or unknowingly committing any offenses at the present moment, better to stop now before we lose complete grace . It is always best to stay on the safe side within the good graces of Krishna. I apologize for any offenses. Your Servant Lilakara das Hare Krishna
Iskcon is an institution. You are brave and so many people can’t stand up to these people. Krishna is your everything. You don’t need an institution to bring you close to krishna.
It is only once you leave the moment and associate with high class vaishnavas that Krsna removes the blinkers to see everything for what it is scary. Srila Prabupada knew demons would infiltrate the movement. Sad 😔 millions of sincere spiritual seekers are mislead 😕
I have unbelievable trama from being in the external ISKCON, for my whole life 44 years, culminating in New Vrndavan Kicking me out and Banning me what you described when you went to Radhanath swami, is exactly how I was delt with, Shunned, Demonized, not given a voice, made out to be crazy. I was able to speak to you and I feel so blessed , Krsna has given me someone who can empathize, and understand what that kind of trauma is. I feel I am actually beginning to heal. My heart is with you, and you have my complete support. I'm posting your Video on my page. And Championing your right to speak out.
You know you are deep in the cult when the cult has to kick you out...
I grew up around New Vrindavan my Dad wasn't a devotee but worked at the machine shop there so as a kid I was always playing on the grounds. I almost got bit by kirtinanandas dog! But I also made friends with a lot of people and still go there today as I live like fifteen minutes away. My Dad told me lots of stories like how he delivered guns and drugs for kirtinananda.
So many of you have gone thru a living hell as children in ISKCON. my heart goes out to all of you.I have stepped away from the movement but not Krishna. It's very hard to be vaishnavi like when you are alone but Krishna sends good association when needed. I'm greatful that I never took initiation from Any " guru " and keep Srila Prabhuoada in my heart...you are an inspiration. I am happy you spoke out about this. All of you who were mistreated,abused,molested seem to have no authorities that will listen. It's a shame and very sad. I wish you only the best
I am the same. I feel Srila Prabhupada has been the only guru we have had. We don’t live by any temple so we read, give books, recognize Ekadasi and the holy days, chant, & follow what the Bagavatam and Bhagavadgita say.
I’m sad so many kids were harmed 😢

Dear Jvalamukhi, thank you for sharing your story of courage. It takes a women with a solid spine to speak up against a powerful organization. I am also a Hindu, I firmly believe that you don't need anyone other than Krishna himself. The original Hinduism had no organizations, no central authority, no leadership. All you need is Krishna and a copy of Bhagavad Gita. I fully understand that Hinduism has placed a lot of importance on guidance of a Guru but I have always felt your Guru is within you. I truly hope that you have found healing and closure and that you are leading a fulfilling and a happy life. May Lord Krishna's grace be upon you, your children and husband.
You are so brave mata ji ! There were some who were killed! For raising their voice! Hare Krishna 🙏 you are real Deevotee of Krishna it's sure Krishna is always protecting you! Hare Krishna 🙏
The sad truth is that the leadership of ISKCON cares far more about projecting an image of holiness to the world rather than actual holiness. A devotee who is actually advanced would rather suffer the shame and embarrassment of returning to the Grhastha ashram than to even think about causing harm to another devotee. I shamefully admit that I was one of Bhavananda's Brahmana initiates, and now, 40 years later I still live in fear of the ISKCON leadership. These are the unholiest of men. I totally admire your courage and strength . You are an example to all devotees.
Thank you for your honesty and encouragement.
Leadership is far better than holy, she is just telling fake stories without evidence.

I’m sorry Mataji for what has happened. I’m so sorry. I know how powerless you feel. Krsna will perform karma on those who deserves it. Please ask Lord Krsna for guidance to lead you to a true spiritual master for initiation. Prabupada and Lord Krsna will always be there for us. Keep up chanting and reading the Bhagavatam.
Don't worry mother... you will get justice... Just move on... Krishna knows everything and he is seeing everything...he will take care of the real culprits...no body can escape karma whether its good or bad and the people who is telling lies will get more punishment...Krishna is always on Dharma side whether he is his Bhakt or not example is Vaamana Avatar...

Give your heart entirely to Krishna. Just take refuge in Krishna. Krishna will cut the knots of your karma. You DO NOT need any other self proclaimed spiritual gurus from ISKCON. Hare Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada new what his disciples were like! new they had issues! but who gives a shit? they started a world wide movement, distributing and promoting every kind of good ideal and culture! What have yous all done with your lives? everyone in kaliyuga is implicated! shitting in the rivers? poisoning the air! taking part in the mass exploitation! producing unwanted fatherless children! I have been amongst so many spiritual groups and non are as productive, and having a positive affect as much as Iskcon! I also used to think the worst of Srila Prabhupada's devotees, but look around? all these organisations are either debauched or useless! and the governments are horrendous! america and its endless wars murdering millions of women and children! spreading feminism-and fatherless children! russia and china and their murder of religious and alternative populations and so much evil is going on in so many countries that I think your out of your heads to criticize Iskcon! since we got this internet and access to some of the reality here on earth? I have realized just how dark this world is! our leaders are all full time fucking pedophiles and atheists who seek to destroy the family and society like hiranyakasipu's! you really need to look deeper into where yous are! Radhanath could kill and rape a hundred people and still be considered saintly! honestly your ignorant as fuck to criticize! and many of the ritvics I have meet are drug addicts etc...and fault-find addicts and would have faulted Srila Prabhupada himself like His god-brothers did! I have a crazy background and have endeavored to change my demoniac persona for this past twenty years but its not so easy! any person dealing with people like me will tell you that! trauma! drug addiction! neglect! abuse! prison! etc.... destroy our persona's and condition us and their is no quick easy rehabilitation and not everyone is strong or has faith to follow one hundred percent! and even those that do follow strictly take years to weed out their own selfish motivations! I think your as insane as the people yous are all faulting to expect absolute rehabilitation of the conditioned kaliyugarites yous are faulting! I hate my faults and the way I can be, but it runs deep and not a simple fix! It took me years to read prabhupada's books because I was neglected, abandoned and abused as a kid and would not trust these people, so had to read the books myself! and I'm sure not all of prabhupad's disciples trusted him! Anyway I have done many bad things and are glad I never became a Guru or I would have been a power hungry psychopath drug dealing womenizing nutter like so many other cult leaders, thankfully I have been getting kicked around by karma and slowly purified of my mentalities etc... I think the people here don't really understand the reality due to having their heads in the sand or being a bit simple etc... Its Kaliyuga and this is and evil world full of rapists, groomers, control freaks, murderers, and stupid ignorant sheeple! voting for monsters, Animals really, Iskcons leaders don't even count for evil in this world. Yous need to look around at other leaders and people in positions of power! they are murdering and raping little kids and women and innocent people in the millions and setting up things that cause so much suffering and destruction that its actually heavy on the soul to realize! I don't have much myself to do with iskcon these days as I also am to much of a fault finding hypocrite, but thats the new agenda for me! to snap out of being so heavy, as its delusional! Indradyumna and co are still going spreading Vedic culture to millions with book distribution and prasadam etc.... still having a positive effect that far outweighs a few deviations! Srila prabhupada once told his disciple if he has to eat meat! to Bad! just preach! and there are many such instances where He didn't give a shit about etiquette and regulations, like giving a bunch of mad westerners sannyas! here's a quote from Srimad Bhagavatam for you's!
TRANSLATION
The King said: O you, who are in the form of a bull! You know the truth of religion, and you are speaking according to the principle that the "destination intended for the perpetrator of irreligious acts is also intended for one who identifies the perpetrator". You are no other than the personality of religion.
PURPORT
A devotee's conclusion is that no one is directly responsible for being a benefactor or mischief-monger without the sanction of the Lord; therefore he does not consider anyone to be directly responsible for such action. But in both the cases he takes it for granted that either benefit or loss is God-sent, and thus it is His grace. In case of benefit, no one will deny that it is God-sent, but in case of loss or reverses one becomes doubtful about how the Lord could be so unkind to His devotee as to put him in great difficulty. Jesus Christ was seemingly put into such great difficulty, being crucified by the ignorant, but he was never angry at the mischief-mongers. That is the way of accepting a thing, either favorable or unfavorable. Thus for a devotee the identifier is equally a sinner, like the mischief-monger. By God's grace, the devotee tolerates all reverses. Mahārāja Parīkṣit observed this, and therefore he could understand that the bull was no other than the personality of religion himself. In other words, a devotee has no suffering at all because so-called suffering is also God's grace for a devotee who sees God in everything. The cow and bull never placed any complaint before the King for being tortured by the personality of Kali, although everyone lodges such complaints before the state authorities. The extraordinary behavior of the bull made the King conclude that the bull was certainly the personality of religion, for no one else could understand the finer intricacies of the codes of religion.
Edit
This is me here again after 7 years and I sincerely want to apologise to you jvalamukhi devi dasi that I could not believe your testimony.
It was hard for me to believe in the past that anyone can actually go that demoniac in our Prabhupada’s movement but now I understand kali has entered all spheres.
I am not sure if every incident i get to know is accurate but one truth i understand now is that severe abuse was afflicted to hundreds of children and individuals and it breaks my heart.
Keeping silent after knowing the atrocities is also injustice and in a way supporting perpetrators and thats what ISKCON GBC has been doing.
No one should have to go through what you experienced Jvalamukhi.🙏
You are amazing. I know how it feels to be abandoned/disappointed by a guru who made you think he really cared about you. I'm so sorry these things happened to you. xoxo
This video Made My Faith Stronger that Prabhupada is Only Guru. July 9th Letter Of Prabhupada really need ed to understand by All Devotees of Krishna Consciousness without emotions attachment and Enviousness. Thank You for Sharing Mataji.
The higher the expectations we have of others, the more painfully disappointing they are. We need to be realistic about that this world can be a very dark place. Everyone is struggling here. Krishna is not looking for perfection. He is looking for the LOVE
Thank you for your brave video! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how painful it is to be abused and mistreated by a guru. I‘m so sorry you had to go through this horror. 😔🍀🙏
This is why in Kali Yuga no one should give themselves to any man. Give yourself to Krishna only.
Develop Buddhi (spiritual reasoning) and be weary of all.
Iskcon says it is an offense to disobey a guru.
So people have experiences like this and just keep obeying because they’re afraid not to.
Very dangerous.
Just a note on Kirtananda as people commented below on him..
Srila Prabhupada:"So far as Kirtanananda's chapter is concerned, forget all this, Maya's play. Kirtanananda is a crazy man. That is proved. We shall be sorry for Kirtanananda's plight under Maya and may not waste our valuable time talking about him. The best thing that you have done is that he should no longer speak in our temples. We shall all pray to Krishna for his recovery & only by His grace can he come back to his real identity." [SP. Letter]

I mentioned this Mataji just now during the Bhaktivedanta Live this evening, when talking about Radhanath Swami’s lack of integrity! Radhanath Swami’s lecture is going on there at the minute! So I was frank and left the live!
I never listen/watch/read anything from this demon.
You mean Radhanath Swami?
Dear sister, first of all u are one of the bravest women who dare to speak up. But u know something- no matter what happens, KARMA ALWAYS CATCHES up! When someone sins in the name of God the sin multiplies multifold. They abused u in the garb of the SUPREME- KRISHNA- their punishment as well will be as devastating whether u believe this or not. KRISHNA DWELLS WITHIN THE SOUL. If u trust your creator, plz trust in his JUSTICE FOR U. THANKS A TON FOR EXPOSING such EVIL PERSONS- I wish I could abuse...More power to u sister. I will remember u in my prayers. By the time u read it- u will be healed. Hare Krishna🙏. Om Namah Shivay 🙏
Jvalamukhi Devi Dasi. Respects. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. It makes me SO happy to know about you and how you have been able to deal with all the abuse and it's pain and that on top, you have been able to make yourself well and are doing all you can, so others are not victimized by the., "as good as Krishna" gurus. To see your stand, makes me understand, that Srila Prabhupada's original movement of only love, will be victorious, nay, it is victorious. Have no doubt that Srila Prabhupada's and Krishan's mercy will always be there for you, your husband and your children, with NO doubt. If things get tough, you also have Jayananda das prabhu and thousands of Prabhupadanugas all over the world that wish only protection and pure bhakti for you and all. Devotees should do a search using the key words., Radhanath Swami and Sulocan Das, to find how it seems only good legal council helped Radhanath Swami to walk from that case. You are totally right. Srila Prabhupada, Jayananda das, Srila Prabhupada's books and Prabhupadanugas that care about you and not only about your money and service to them, is all you need!! The younger ones, should not be afraid and expose and preach the right philosophy. KC is NOT about abuse, but only about love!! Srila Prabhupada ki jai!!

This is an important lesson and learning in the life of every sincere person traveling the Way from birth and death to eternal life. ISKCON exists, in part, to impart to the wayfarer the painful lesson of the corrupt priest who betrays even the meaning of moral human life. She traveled that path of understanding by being guided by her own moral compass. 5 Stars to her plus eternal credit.
This is so heart breaking and you are so corageous to speak up.
All Glories to his divine grace Srila Prabhupad nd his ISKON ❤
He is the cause of all the suffering of so many women and children and yet you cult member worship him like God. So sick.🤢🤮
Hare Krishna. Wow. Great testimony. I'll never understand Radhanath's appeal. He has always been quite a phony to me. The way he presents that fake accent drives me nuts when I used to try to listen to him pronouncing his "R's" like "T's" Why do his followers and colleagues let him get away with that???? And also the way he slows down his speech pattern to try to make himself sound more enlightened and intelligent. Such a fake.
And silly humans believe he's a pure devotee.! Just look into his eyes. Pure deceit, yet his blind followers are gleefully following him to hell, while ready to fight you to death for being so offensive as to speak the truth. Haribol
I met once Radhanat Swami, anyway: the Swami made no impression on me. Just an old American Jew in a bad health telling you the usual things a New Age Guru is expected to tell mixed with the well-known Hare Krishna set of beliefs.
Totally
Spot on
I used to listen to dozens of his lectures. When I met him has tears in my eyes oddly he gave me the creepiest look I will never forget it was as if I was a prostitute it was odd can’t listen to him since then. ISKCON is being ruled by dark entities. Their stance on vaccines is plain proof
I BLESS YOUR WOMB, I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR WOMB ENLIGHTENMENT
MAY ALL WOMBS BE HAPPY & PEACEFUL
I too grew up in Iskcon and that same time but I was protected by a powerful family so I wasn’t harmed but I could see the harm that was being done to my sisters in the Iskcon schools ( gurukulas ) I have been trying to connect with my sisters and no one in Iskcon will tell me where they are and they don’t wanna talk about them . I don’t understand it I miss them very much I want to meet them so badly. I married have children who are grown up settled well . I need to meet my God sisters . Remember one thing all we need is Srila Prabhupada and Krishna everything we need to know are in his books, in the Gita & Srimad Bhagavatam !!! Just do your chanting like Srila Prabhupad said . You don’t need any of these fake gurus who are Pedophile and killers of their own guru! All these Fake made up gurus will behind the Poisoning Srila Prabhupad! Please don’t go after them do not leave your children alone with them.These gurus are all demons in disguise. I am so proud of you.
Wow, you grew up in it, survived only because your family keep abusers away from you, you saw kids being abused, you see the evil clearly, and you see nothing wrong with that. Wow. You are deep in the cult, hope you get the help you need
This is part of the me too movement and if you look at his involvement in West Virginia you realize there is a much bigger problem lurking.

Radhanath was instrumental in the murder of Salochan das. His wife and two sons were STOLEN by another demon kirtanananda posing as an iskcon guru. Both these demons destroyed the lives of thousands of devotees.
Radhanath got away with murder because his father was a gangster in those days. Probably had contacts in the police department.
Its important to note PRABHUPADA NEVER EVER APPOINTED A SINGLE GURU, NEITHER OUTSIDE OR INSIDE OF ISKCON
They're all a part of a sinister movement within the iskcon movement....which PRABHUPADA warned us about.
Please accept Prabhupada as your siksha and diksha guru...that's all you need to go back home. Do this and YOU WILL FEEL Prabhupada and Krsna's presence.
You are so beautyful in so many ways!!!
If it feels weird; it is! Let’s stop trying to push through things our guts INSTANTLY react to! If we’re honest, we knew better from the beginning…
I am so sorry to hear what happened. Stay strong mataji. Krishna will deal with these rascals. I researched about this a bit. Most gurus in iskcon are appointed by the GBC and are appointed without reaching the desired level of qualification. Even shrila prabhupada in his last letter wrote that he is appointing 11 of his disciples (only as shiksha guru) who will make disciples for him (on his behalf) as he will be the only diksha guru for the next 10,000 years for every devotee but unfortunately no one correctly understood his words and things like these occur. Only a bona fide guru ( only shrila prabhupada) who was situated in the transcendental realm could take us back to godhead not these so called gurus.
All glories to shrila Prabhupada
It's welcoming to learn from the comments that there aren't blind devotees who flock behind men pretending pious. Just devotees who believe in Krishna.
Krishna will do justice. You are a brave lady. Keep moving we all are with you
I was a Devotee of Hansadutta dass.
In the Seattle temple.
My history went back to the San Francisco temple. (my first contact) I knew of a Jayananda dass who had recently passed.
Over the next few years I regularly visited the Berkley temple. Later visiting the Denver temple. (My home state)
Returning to San Francisco temple before moving to Seattle, where I was admitted to the temple on my birthday .
Later receiving first imitation from Hansadutta dass.
Given the name “Jagad guru dass.
I never knew of his problems or the abuse of women and children until many years after I had left the movement.
I found my way in a church of the East, “St. Thomas the Apostle Thomas who had established an Aramaic speaking “ETA” in south India.
The lifetime Archbishop patriarch Dr. Joseph Vredenburgh and his wife took me in and I found my calling working with them for over 40 years till their passing. I’m still fully committed to this path. Theirs was a wholesome family.
They were docents at all the natural reserves in the area.
I am also a member of the Noorha Foundation. The Aramaic school of light. I’m so very happy now! ❤
THE TRUTH !! YES WHAT IS THE TRUTH WHEN CANT BE SPOKEN OUT ITS MEANS NOTHING .TO MANY WORDS THAT KEEPS NOT TO TALK ABOUT TRUTH .
It's very disturbing how many of these corrupt so called spiritual leaders are still in positions are of power & authority. More brave devotees like this need to organize and formally challenge & exose these corrupt "leaders".
Yes Ricky, some of us are just waiting for the right time to act. I joined Iskcon in 1973 and have seen the destruction of Prabhupada's Iskcon, day by day, month by month, changing everything, not only His books, everything about the philosophy and everything in Iskcon.
I have tried to incite some of my Godbrothers, trouble is, not a kshatriya amongst them. They'd rather gripe about the situation, not realizing that a revolution is required, which of course, implies some violence. No shit !
Most of the Newbies in Iskcon don't know squat and are blinded by false adoration towards the false gurus.
Lord Krishna will empower those who are ready to die, fighting for Srila Prabhupada and His body ( Iskcon)
Patience, my dear friend patience, I know it's hard, I've been waiting for the last 9 yrs. since I made a solemn promise to my eternal guru, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhu[ada.
Hope to see you on the battlefield Om Tat Sat
The brave ones are already working hard to preach KC ruclips.net/video/oqpXCOvKaL8/видео.htmlsi=rqEa2q0731ik2UWR
And this is the reason I am never joining ISCKON.Yes I do love Krishna,but not them.
ps baruah best comment here hare Krishna dandavat pranam to you
ps baruah Bhai you can't do anything
Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto ME, I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear. Bhagavad Gita 18:66.
Like This person said. I would never join ISKCON exactly for the reason that this girl is talking about. You must never have doubt in your believes and you must be free to practice without being taken advantage of. I am glad I am a Vajrayana Buddhist and I found Vajrayogini and Chakrasamvara before ISKCON thank the universe for that!
You need a guru, that's why we should cry to Krishna to help us find a REAL guru!
Report him to the police!! This should be dealt with officially.
@Krishna how is reporting assault got to do with anything you are claiming?
Your closing words were really poignant here Sister. Yes. Its seduction. That is such a great word for it. All of this shows how deep his psychosis is. I am so glad that You have made this video to help others think about these leaders more intelligently and clearly without sentimental feeling of what a guru is meant to look like.
Did you write Your book?
I am so sorry for what happened
exactly my experience with my "guru" & "siksa gurus" in iskcon. glad you're speaking out. i hope these men continue to be called out.
I hope so too
The best way is to remain connected with SP in association with the honest early Disciples of SP who were Kicked out of ISKCON by power hungry gurus. They have online sangas on CC, BG and SB which are very enlightening and eye opener for any aspiring Devotee associated with Iskcon. ruclips.net/video/oqpXCOvKaL8/видео.htmlsi=rqEa2q0731ik2UWR
Thank you for these enlightening things. It is so hard to know who to trust in ISKCON.
Trust only Prabhupad
@@PunkiMunki what have u really done for Anyone in life? To be judging someone for book selling... people like u will Worship some Fictional Author ,but Always up first to judge a real Saint. I think Atheists like u should leave the rest of us to decide about prabhupada and continue with your materialistic selfish life .
SpunkeeMonkee you feminist materialist Vaishnav offender get out of here and bark in some other place....
Prabhupada Swami said all things according to shastras..if you have problem then read shastras and many Indian Guru can help you..nothing is the shastras are baseless,if anything is prescribed,then absolutely it has a valid purpose..but the kali's foll jivas can't easily understand these with out a Guru.
@SpunkeeMonkee So you blaspheme and expect other to sit around and shower love on you? Get your ABCs clear on how things work first deluded girl!
Nobody is "judging" you, you are just being dumb. Can't blame others if you're acting like an ass...
@Mat Mclean let me give you a method or mantra(if you like transcendental stuff🤣)for identifying that. It goes something like this:
"Anyone except the person who says that women enjoys rape".
There you have it.
Suffering can be seen in her eyes. That 's why, for the young ladies, the solution is to take shelter in a good husband who will protect her from predators and give advice how to be out of their reach.
SRILA PRABHUPAD LOVES YOU, KRISHNA BHAGAVAN TOO!;-)
If you truly wish to come in contact with Krishnas pure representative then you shall. In the meantime avoid these rascals at all costs. ISKON is not what it used to be.....
You are very brave to speak out like this. There is no excuse for the abuse that so many have suffered under the guardianship of so many presumed spiritual leaders. The fact that they allowed the abuse to happen, and continue, is an indication that their consciousness is not pure. Demons in the dress of devotees.
Please expose all the rascals, taking care of not offending any occasional honest devotee who may be entangled in their midst.
One has to be very lucky to see naked reality . Gratulations now you have access to Krsna prema . Ys Pavel
In 96 I saw this Radhanath jumping around like a self-absorbed egocentric doll on Harinam... I found Gaur Govinda Maharaja...and then Narayan Maharaja thankfully..Iskcon lasted that one Saturday night for me... I was very new and my eyes were very open ..all glories to Prabhpada and Vaisnavas
Dear lady, I'm so sorry for the things you suffered as a child. You are a mother. My mother would ofter tell me, "There's nothing like a mother's love" I miss her. But the life lessons she taught me live in me. God bless you.
John Martin every living entity is suffering that's why where here if you want to feel sorry for someone feel sorry for the starving children all around the word actually what happens to us is our karma there are worse than her a devotee doesn't glorify there suffering rather they see it as the lord mercy
God bless you. I admire your courage and honesty. Please don't stop your valuable quest.
What a wonderful, big hearted lady. She didn't deserve to be treated so unkindly. But she was, and she's survived. Still has that big-hearted smile. Good luck to you and you family, they are fortunate to have you.
Ian Graeme you are fortune to be a human so remember that you can chant hare Krishna that's all
I would say that "unkindly" is a gross understatement. She was abused, her complaint was neglected, and she was indirectly intimidated to not speak out about it by the most prominent and respected leader in ISKCON.
Thank you for your courage and honesty, please continue to trust in yourself
Woug trust in Sri Krishna & is bonafide representives that's all
They back people like Kirtananda because he gave them what they wanted, and allowed them to do as they pleased. He didn't restrict behaviors that should have been curtailed. It's a very sad state of affairs, but too many devotees never spent any time learning how to relate to others properly. Prabhupada taught that women and children should be protected, and few people actually followed that instruction. He also said that the future of the movement was with the children. These guys who have been running things have worked hard at ruining that legacy. One of the 26 qualities of a devotee is to be willing to show all respect to others while not expecting any, to be more humble than a blade of grass. I know of few who are actually humble, fewer still who know how to behave properly. One thing in the scriptures that Prabhupada wrote is that if one remains attached to sex life they should not be regarded as a spiritual master. Funny how the old boys club tends to overlook certain teachings and never repeat them, and Prabhupada emphasized these ideas by repeating them in his books.
My dear girl, I am in awe of your humility and straightforwardness! Rare in the institution that has happened to Srila Prabhupada’s MOVEMENT (maybe it’s Iskcon?) I don’t know why? These things happen. We saw how Kirtanananda dealt with a woman talking back to him. When I was in India I threatened by a very scared Calcatta
Kaliyuga and maya is very strong. Many times these things happen to tests us or some misconceptions ,miscommunication etc..we should always think tht how fortunate we are that we got introduced with spiritual path and Bhakti and keep engaged in services. Of someone taking mis advantage of position or seniority then Krishna is watching it..moreover ignore and stay away those who seems to be superficial and associates with those who are serious and honest...Hare Krishna
She is really Jvalamukhi. The Volcano.. 🙏🙏
Have faith in srila Prabhupad he was a true master but don’t surrender to his swamis they aren’t realized
Shocked to hear this story as this is the 1st time listening to abuse in ISKCON. I always wondered how is it possible these people remain so saintly despite hunger for big temples, money, luxury and lots of young and beautiful devotees to exploit. Thank you for restoring my faith in mankind. No matter how much we pretend to be this or that, at the end of the day, we are all animals.
Watch the video: Faith & Fear, The Children of Krsna
U'll be shocked and disgusted.
She has no evidence, just fake stories, devotees are always holy only.
Well you are an animal and just because you are an animal doesnt mean that everyone else is the same. First of all momentary fall down can happen to anyone because no one is a perfect nitya siddha like Srila Prabhupada. Secondly just because ONE person did something wrong you cant blame everyone in the society. You have poor logical thought process. Proves that you're the animal here.
For doing injustice to one woman named Droupathi, Krishna killed everyone who did that, who supported that and even those who were silent without stopping that. Krishna says this to Droupathi before going to mediate on-behalf of pandavas with Kauravas to avoid war. Krishna confirms and assures Droupathi that He is going to set a war so that everyone who were in that place on that day will be killed without any mercy.
He even wanted to kill Pandavas for not objecting that heinous act, but based on Droupathi's request, he spared them.
Aswadhama & Vidhura are 2 people who objected the act so they were spared.
Krishna isn't going to leave any of these guys, have trust on Him. Change your guru. Stay away from anyone who support these guys.
If you want to move away from ISCKON and still stay close to Krishna, follow Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, he is an enlightened soul with lot of integrity.
Iskcon has become a business and corruption is so deep. I pray for you and your voice will help so many others
In many temples they dont say its a temple anymore, a Devotee told me we clean here just like in a business and it disturbed me. God is not a business and should be available to anyone, the new Devotees are doing everything they can to keep fallen souls out of the temple.
I couldn't pass a judgement by listening to one side. But why does one need to give the heart any one but God himself, it simply doesn't make any sense, he is the true guru within, the outer mentor is just for introducing one to that true guide within.
I'm sorry to hear this but the simple solution is to get back to the true and the innermost guide.
"Abandon all dharmas and take refuge in Me alone. I will deliver thee from all sin and evil, do not grieve."
-Bhagavad Gita 18.66
Krupal Vithlani yes I agree with you I hope all these people read your comment
Our senses are very limited and cannot distinguish real and unreal. So one must approach spiritual master
The internal and external guru is non different in that they both give us instructions for our spiritual benefit. If one neglects the external guru then on is also neglecting the internal guru. These ideas come about by not educating ourselves properly in the spiritual science. It is a science and not some sort of sentiment that whatever you think is right is right. We can mislead ourselves very well.
Mataji, as long as u believe in Krishna & u always conscious of Him... You should not focus on the international society Men Made. The founder of the society wrote mostly all He could, All glories to Shrila Praphupada for this... The rest dont care! Am sorry for the issues u went through. But stay Strong Jai Shri Krishna!!!
Very revealing testimony and not surprising. Very courageous Lady and Disciple of Srils Prabhupada.
Hope that you are doing well after six years. Bless you.
"Srila Prabhupada is our leader, the holy name is our main weapon and the original Bhagavad Gita As It Is is our war plan. And for the support of Srila Prabhupada, with a firm reliance on Krsna, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honour".
"Our point should be that we shall take all necessary steps for self-protection, depending on the results on Krsna. We should not idly sit down simply depending on Krsna. Arjuna had to fight in the battlefield, but at the same time he heard Bhagavat Gita. Our motto shall be like that.
Neither shall fight alone, without Krsna consciousness, nor we shall give up all possible facilities or precautions."
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
The world needs Teachers no showbottle pontificators of any stripe. Devotees only picking and choosing from the books without teaching the whole book. Many so-called religious leaders have been doing that for years. If one goes to an establishment for a meal, they are not just offered samples from the menu they are given the full menu.
Sectarianism has spread deep and wide with Hare Krishna's of any stripe.
This is the book that Srila Prabhupada wanted distributed, and it was until it was removed by the BBT.
This is the book and not one word has been changed.

He always like that before years he captured bhaktipada position
Jay ! Welcome to reality ! Prabhupada him self said do not trust me trust only Krsna . Ys Pavel
Nicely said by you ...You have swami Prabhupad and Krishna in heart!!! Do you really need any other Guru???
Brave Lady, Good Lady. You may both be right; perhaps Radhanath just doesn't know, and so feels it would be wrong to act by withdrawing support for The Abuser. ON the other hand, he could acknowledge your statement as a witness, in a serious quiet way, and tell you he shall note it and listen out.
However, I go by vibes (sure, after a break for a period of learning); The guy is a self-adoring puppet, well ingratiated in the corruption, if not a prime mover behind the scenes, himself.
He has been a silent witness to much corruption - he turns a blind eye because he has been given a position.
Thank u for beeing so brave. we only have srila Prabhupada.he will never let u down.Hare Krsna.
mataji be strong. no human no matter how spiritually advanced he/she is, will be flawed. let these people not be an obstacle to becoming one with Radha Madhav. Haribole!
Best xx
Its the same with all religions. It starts out for good with a good leader but once that leader passes the movement gets highjacked by rascals and thats what happened to the hare krishna movement. After Prabhupad passed that was it. I grew up around new vrindavan so i know how bad it can get.
I would have not expected any different outcome: a woman comes there with accusations against a former leader, this swami listens daily to thousands of messages, grievances and petitions. ' contact the legal authorities' period.
that is insane why would anyone defend a person that abuses children
religious fervor will drive a person to do extreme things & these fake gurus know it
this happens in many organised religion there are those that hide crimes as they think it will make the religion look bad while in actuality it the hiding of the crime that reflects worse.
Unfortunately, humans will do anything for ego, power and fame. These so called swamis think less about God and more about themselves. Anyway, we have this wonderful law created by God called Karma. Everyone pays for their karma. If not in this birth then in some other birth. But pay they will. Hare Krishna.
There is no action without reaction.....
Religion has a lot in common with politics.
Nooooo.....howww is this possible. Shouldn't they be in controle of their lower senses.
OMG!!!!!!!!!
That's krsna consiusness.... Power of eternity, bliss.... Many more....
They are false devotees and are not gurus by any standards. They are all charlatans and demons. Prabhupada is the one and only true guru of Iskon
Christians, at least some of the Protestant denominations preach and teach: Do not rely on men but on GOD ( Krishna ) ALONE. It is so true men will always disappoint and betray but GOD--never. It never happened to me,- and I am walking with God all my life. Glory to the Lord, Hare Krishna, Alahu Akbar.....
It's in Psalms
A few years ago I spoke on the phone with Jvalamukhi ...She will not unfortunately tell you this in her video ...but here what she told me .
Jvalamukti told me that she was sexually molested as a toddler by BHAVANANDA and her own father in an appt in Los Angeles ...It seems that Bhavananda would have sexually assaulted her
with the blessings and participation of her own father . Now is this true? Or is it what some psychologist would call false memories ?? Jvalamukti should make a video explaining in details what she think happen to her ...because for now it is just accusations that must be especially painful for her father . As far as Radhanath he is a screw up false guru for sure ....but he was right to say TRERE IS NO PROOF TO THE ACCUSATIONS OF JVALAMUKHI ..... Be even more brave Jvalamukhi and tell the whole story in a video in details ...Where ...how many times ...and the role of your father in all those molestations events .
Dear Jvala...stay strong! We are many WHO will be there for You...dont You worry anymore...know that your Heart Is strong and wil be pure...Hare Krishna!
omvendtslev devotees don't make a show of there misfortune rather they see as Sri kriahnas mercy shes complaining like a non devotee would
Jvalamukhi's testimony may help explain how Radhanatha is able to hobnob among elite social gatekeepers - the "Controllers". As Whitney Webb points out in her book One Nation Under Blackmail, you're allowed into the Controller's Club only if you possess a personality that LIMITS other peoples' access to true liberation. AND establishment figures need to know THE DIRT on you, so if you happen to step over the line, they can rein you in or cut you down by exposing the skeletons in your closet.
This is a world run by demons, Sister. Keep close to Krishna. For He is known as Atchuta or infailable. Humans are purely chuta-failable. God will deliver the sincere and destroy the fraudsters. Hare Krishna!
The more they criticise other sects the more scandals and will get revealed.
Great witness, thank you. Playing with the devotion off a disciple is terrible.
Can somebody translate it into Spanish, French, Polish, Russian, Italian etc ? And send to your friends and colleagues. Hare Krishna.
Actually one of my friends is associated with them. I don't think she will be able to face this side of ISKCON. That's why all I do is pray everyday that may Divine Krishna show her the way out before it is too late.😔🙏please pray for her and everyone else
They have blind faith and even if we show them proofs they will ask their so called gurus who will find a way to manipulate their minds
My sympathies and gratitude for you Jvalamukhi dasi. Not everyone knows the pain of being let down by your idol. They sell you the idea of guru-disciple succession and surrender, and seduce you with praise and nice words, only to realize your dignity is of no concern. You voice your concerns, and then they say you are crazy so they can have deniability, upon closing their doors on you. For years they train you to not associate with non-devotees, until you find yourself on the outside struggling to fit in with the rest of society. The disappointment and anger with the leadership becomes a crisis and its very confusing. You start to ask yourself was it all a lie? I know I did. My experience has taught me alot about myself. I sought the absolute truth, and learned the absolute truth about myself. I was young, naive, easily impressed, and had poor relations with friends and family. I also had dependency issues and lacked my own identity. This is your demographic, and the organization knows it fully well using it to their advantage unethically, inevitably to the detriment of the community and the individual. It is even of greater tragedy to learn that the victim's children end up being abused, and that the truth is suppressed. Let us not forget this continues in Krishna's name under his banner and therefore this is also to Govinda's detriment. It took me a long time to realize I interacted with a poorly managed and corrupt organization. But also its not what you walk away from. Its what you walk away with. I still chant the Maha-Mantra and study the Bhagavad Gita. I don't dabble with human idolization, and I don't recommend it for anyone.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ you are strong
First time I heard this from the mouth of a victim... now I am a believer of the bad side of the iskcon so- called gurus. I was also so "brainwashed" that I never clicked on anything against iskcon gurus. Now my eyes are open.
Not all gurus are same. I have still faith on iskcon.
@@rajatsaha4230 Of course, I am not saying all gurus... These are exceptional cases.
This is 21st century. We should not blindly follow any human being.😬
But we can blindly follow books like Bhagavad Gita , Vedas, Upanishads 🙏💪
@@rajatsaha4230 We should follow Gita and Upanishads with an open mind, in my opinion. Not blindly. These timeless scriptures are the guide of humankind..
@@rajatsaha4230 Great!
Thank you for your revealing testimony. Now I know.
God bless you. Hare Krishna.
Om namo namah bhagwate wasudevay namah
My dear Prabhu, Thank you so much for your heartfelt story of the pain you experienced. Despite what he said, know that Paramatma has no trouble keeping tabs on individuals who are devoted, like yourself. Paramatma NEVER has trouble knowing the hearts of each and every living entity. As the Super Excellent Witness He does not miss a thing, and surely sees the "muddied hearts" of the abusers. It is good to see you "come out" into the light of day to speak the truth. My heart is also broken by all of the pain and tragedy in ISKCON. I'm a Prabhupada disciple who had an arranged marriage with Brahmananda, the first "fallen" sannyasi. He handled me roughly, and divorced me through the mail, through the auspices of his dear lawyer friend BhaktiTirtha, yet who can criticize the great Brahmananda? WE are the real devotees who feel love and devotion despite the trauma and drama of a life tainted with debauchery. Krsna is our strength and we are full in our Love for Him. Gopamatrka dd
Thank you so much for your sincere words of encouragement and obvious faith in your own journey to Krishna's Lotus feet through all of the hardship and trials. Very much appreciate your support and kind words.
Since my husband took initiation with Indradyumna swami our lives feel apart and after twenty years together now a divorce. Totally after our resources I have almost felt a demonic presence
***Somewhere on the comments, some Radanatha's admirer, named Sankarshana, cracked a joke! He said that, quoted:''Radhanatha Swami has a saintly qualities.'' But i think that ''Radhanatha'' and ''saintly qualities'' should not be used in the same sentence. Other way, you're commited an offence to all good Swamis in Iskcon. Radanath is known for a person of cloth wich job is not clean since decades. And since decades devotees had reported him for various crimes - actual, and also indirect like hiding the crimes of his collegues - the false swamis. And still the Iskcon autorities still keep their eyes closed. And so thier consciousness apparently. And for that they all shoud withdraw from any activities, connected with spiritual advising and keeping the followers as Spiritual Masters. No more excuses! And no more cover-ups! All eyes are on you now, dear Self-serving ''Swamis''. You can't hide your shamefdul crimes no more! But pitty - even so, still you continiue to collect hundreds disciples each year! So, maybe they deserve you. If they don't want to wake up and see your true face - let them seek a spiritual shelter into your stinky feet! Let them! But their bill is on you! :))
Hare Krishna
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories unto Srila Prabhupada.
I apologize if anything negative activities has occurred.
It's most dangerous to commit any offenses towards any Vaisnava or Vaisnavi devotee of the Lord.
Krishna can forgive any offenses that are to him but never to his devotees or Vaisnavi's.
If we are knowingly or unknowingly committing any offenses at the present moment, better to stop now before we lose complete grace .
It is always best to stay on the safe side within the good graces of Krishna.
I apologize for any offenses.
Your Servant

Iskcon is an institution. You are brave and so many people can’t stand up to these people. Krishna is your everything. You don’t need an institution to bring you close to krishna.
Why do you remain in this organization? Life is a lot bigger than one cult and you have unlimited options on how to live your one conscious life.
It is only once you leave the moment and associate with high class vaishnavas that Krsna removes the blinkers to see everything for what it is scary. Srila Prabupada knew demons would infiltrate the movement. Sad 😔 millions of sincere spiritual seekers are mislead 😕
