Prabhupada's movement should be the last place on this planet for pedophile rings, child rapists, violent psychopaths, mentally weak in positions of managing anything, not controlling emotions, aggression and their illusion-filled false ego only. Finally stop this madness, how much more time should pass, an additional 50 years?

Moving the Vrndavana Gurukula to an isolated location will enable child predators to have their way with defenseless children. Instead, I suggest that the land acquired be used to create a varnasrama college with a full-fledged program of organic farming , cow protection, Deity worship, new devotee training programs, traveling Sankirtana, regular Harinam Sankirtana, traveling book distribution parties, life membership fund-raising, and all other aspects of daivi-varnasrama. If the children and their overseers are separated from the greater community of devotees, you will be inviting further abuse and torture at the hands of unscrupulous characters. Apply your spiritual intelligence to see how the safety of the gurukula kids will only be further jeopardized by separating them from the greater Vaisnava community. Finally, make sure living facilities are available for the parents of these children to visit and see first-hand how their sons and daughters are being treated with love and respect.

This is a global problem in many boarding schools, many faiths and many institutions. In gratitude to those with determination and courage to go onto the battlefield. Not an easy task but fundamentally essential. Thank you every single human being who breaks the silence and fights, risking being wounded in return, for justice and to protect all children.

Thank you for caring for our children. I pray for our precious children, so that they are treated with the love and care they deserve, they are our greatest treasure and our hope, we really have to review our priorities as a community and be consistent with the principles we preach. Srila Prabhupada has given the precise noble instructions, we pray for sincere and pure-hearted leaders who are able to follow them and set a good example for our society and the whole world. Hare Krishna

Thank you for having the courage to speak out in the Bhaktivedanta Manor as you did to BVPS, Swami's reaction and how he spoke to that nice soft mataji was not a brahminical reaction at all! It really seems that Swami is avoiding answering the question big time, if he is innocent, he can see the relevance and relation to Krishna in front of a bunch of householders and sincerely and humbly answer with patience and calmness instead of barking at the mataji to "be quiet" what happened to the brahminical qualities of being harsh to women and mothers concerned? He says "in front of the deities", YES, EXACTLY BEST TIME TO ASK YOU, MAYBE THE TRUTH CAN COME IN FRONT OF THEM! I don't see how being a simha lion guru can override the compassion one should have also the humility and being humble and calm at a fellow devotee and woman in the temple room with the curtains open? "BE QUIET" !!!!!! shocking reaction and what a tense atmosphere! A truely superior person can be more humble, and apologize for what they did and ask forgiveness and be more humble about it! Geez what I fear is our future after most of the Old GBC dies? Let's see how long this ISKCON continues anyway, or we won't even have to bother with abusing children anymore, because there will be no place or ISKCON left we see what happened when Prabhupad's godbrothers did after their Guru left, now in 2022, it's quite fearful our future, already the GBC clearly is too old in age to deal with management much and yeah, it's sad

If I was a big senior man of GBC, or Sannyasi, I'd have difficulty sleeping on my nice comfy bed with my luxurious lifestyle of travel, servants, the best prasad, respect, fame, money, etc... if I knew abusers were walking around and children were sitting ducks, I'd skip giving morning class that nobody is smart enough to remember or understand anyway and skip kirtan and get right to fixing these problems, and make it a priority, the problem is especially in older age those with soft brahminical nature lack the passion and Kshatriya quality to speak out and go against the flow of all the other senior men, it's easier to agree with everyone at the managers table than oppose, so only those with a lack of fear and some big balls can stand up for what's right and speak out, and have the energy and passion to match it These priests need to know if they abuse kids, there might be a few such Kshatriya types that can be stalking the night around in the dark who can jump out and end their life if they are complacent or neglecting these children, if the proper channels won't punish you, then I'm skipping such channels and coming directly for your throat ! I won't stop until your heart stops!

The man in charge of Vrindavan Gurukul re-instated an abuser and that nice mataji in the video said after a known abuser was hovering around the school etc... If someone with some balls, like a warrior nature police type REAL man was in charge like me, this man would never be seen hovering around the school ever again I guarantee it! Also, in the video documentary Lila Purushottam the Vrindavan school head kicked the CPO investigator off school property????? Are you kidding me? CPO should have absolute authority to access any area and any laptop or file cabinet they deem fit at any time to any ISKCON facility which has children ! So backwards! A CPO official should never be possibly removed by force or otherwise from any such place! CPO officials should be able to randomly audit any such school suddenly show up like a manager does to retail stores in the west and be allowed to interview children, staff and given absolute access like a Top policeman walking around anywhere he likes, I also advocate using lie detector testing on accused abusers among other things, these are children we are discussing here! Some of these Kali yuga brahmins have huge egos and really can get nasty, that's why we need some of these hard core soldier police man type guys with some big balls and a loud fearless mouth and the passion to back it up also at a middle or younger age so they are not made to be lazy by age and the types who although rare to find are the kinds who will never accept any bribe ever! Let such a man in charge of CPO and abusers will be running away like the cowards they are, he is probably a family man himself who loves women and kids and would rather face death than abusing a child, Such a man can be in charge of that office, he will step on the abusers like stepping on bugs! If you are lusty, it's a basic human need especially in Kali yuga, you go to your wife, if she is too brahminical to do it, talk to her and explain it, you need to hire

the GBC are senior citizens too old to have the stomach to process such low sick dark topics! Also this job is best suited for those with more of Kshatriya qualities but unfortunately there aren't really any, priestly like men are soft, humble, patient, easy to forgive and so this abuse goes on, we need like a hard core police man type to be in charge, someone fearless and who has some passionate nature with great intelligence also, ZERO TOLERANCE for child abuse, this makes me sick, if you abuse my son you will find yourself being tortured to death tied to chair if you are swami, GBC doesn't matter, you will die because I will take your life while I look into your eyes, you are demonic sick scum if you abuse a innocent child, you deserve immediate death in general, how dare you be such cowards you cover up this abuse, if I was a manager, your face would not be seen within 10 miles of an ISKCON center or school ever again! This is because you would be dead and disappeared or so afraid of having your arm, nose and leg broken you would steer clear while you live out your days!

This is far beyond debate! The children of ISKCON REQUIRE protection AND it was evermore demanded by HDG Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
