Zero Tolerance on the Abuse of Hare Krishna Children

And the foxes continue to guard the henhouse. Reprehensible.

To many victims and there family's stay away because the paedophiles are allowed to wonder around freely. It does Srila Prabhupada's movement a disservice to allow paedophiles in.

It is time the truth be shared in every town and village! That the evil doers be exposed and brought to justice. Child abuse, which continues in 2016 hiding in the nescience of ISKCON needs to be exposed!

educating is not only teaching the children what we as adults think is important, it is also how the adults treat, love and respect the child. not just theoretically but practically. how can an abused child have trust and develop love for God, that´s my question... Sarka Quast

Deeply shocked by these accusations

Money, position, many followers, prestige... A system that does not allow any form of critique by those who are "not spiritually elevated enough" and "who would commit a serious offense" creates the worst possible situation, as it protects those persons or leaders who continue to act criminally or harm others emtionally or physically. This attitude is repressive and does not help the individual to develop, it simply makes you shut up, be fearful, obedient and marks you with bad conscience. Regarding Danudhara Swami, at least he repented for what has happened in Vrindavan when I met him directly thereafter.

Since the begining of the eighties i was very sensitive to this child abuse true incidents in ISKCON . This type of behaviour is a real insult to Srila Prabhupada's movement and to the predecessor acaryas . These gurukula children are our future ; therefore one must educate them in the right way .There is no question of talking of Love of God if one is unable to protect one's own ISKCON children from these abominable abuses . Hare Krishna , Maheshwar dasa

If the leaders in ISKCON do not collectively stand against child abuse in any way and expel those elements who in the past and present act violently against the children and continue to hold certain positions concerned with children, the image of Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON will be severely damaged. The cowardice behind some ISKCON members to not speak out the truth, to support wrongdoers or to play down the situation by "word jugglery" is simply a shame. I can only pray that Krsna will interfere and show the real faces of these rascals who - under the disguise of saints and with the sword of sastra - act like perverted unhumane sick criminals.

Those people who are involved should be handover to police and legal courts for fair justice.

What to say.. A movement promoting the 'highest truth' in its words, but practicing duplicity and coverups is a pityful farse. May the good and sincere souls working for truth find more and more support

Children are our future. Please protect them. That would be the greatest service to Srila Prabhupads mission.

In this day and age it is unacceptable to not protect our children from abuse. ISKCON needs to up the ante and do their part otherwise they will not withstand closer scrutiny by any authorities

With the small number of signatures a petition like supporting children in not getting abused is getting it's pretty clear that until these children and the parents of these children take matters in to their own hands instead of relying on an inept system not much is going to happen. Time to toughen up on the people doing the abusing.....

It is well known that historically, ISKCON has allowed child abuse to flourish within its' midst by devotees trusting ISKCON"s leaders to protect their children. This must STOP! It is time to unmask the charlatans who have usurped the leadership of our beloved ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada's heritage to the world at large!

Dear Sanaka Rsi Prabhu, thank you for exposing these details. It makes me so sad that so many even respected devotees whom I usually trust to have a sense of discrimination, a good heart and the spiritual view of love and respect, to also ignore or underestimate these issues and to defend the wrongdoers and leave aside the victims. I pray that this mentality in humans will soon disappear and the children are really being protected on all levels. Otherwise I see no hope for ISKCON.

Understandable to defend your Guru, but the manner in which, not always commendable. Mayapurtvarchives 30/5/16. Pritivardhana pr lecture(26.00...) There's guru aparadha but what about disciple aparadha, where the caretaker(parent or teacher) makes a meal of it? What about the children's/student's rights? I find the comment of devotees being 'bored'(to bits) quite disrespectful and arrogant & proves another point. ys

All this demons need to be remove out the leadership positions. Whoever disrespects a children is a coward and a demon.

save the children

Why is the ISKCON organization allowed to flourish unchecked? The public and devotees must be informed fully about the abuse that is rampant as well as the dangers of destructive cults such as ISKCON.

Sanaka Rsi Prabhu, your efforts will not go unnoticed. We stand behind you in the mission to save the children of Krishna.
