ISKCON’s child protection hypocrisy

I submitted a comment to Dandavats.com last week simply asking how to report violations of ISKCON Law 3.5.5.1.3.9, related to notifying ISKCON communities when a person known to have abused children is being maintained at the temple or staying on temple property. Several comments on other subjects have been approved and published since mine was [...]

Personal thoughts on ISKCON membership.

There’s been a lot of Internet Hare Krishna chatter lately about membership in ISKCON, and it’s a subject that I’ve been thinking about as it relates to me personally.  In an ideal world, there would be no question for me.  When I began my aspiration for devotional service, Krishna said to get some association of [...]

“Let there be one God for the whole world – Sri Krishna”

Hare Krishna. Last week I sent e-mails to the administrators at the Jagannatha Temple at Puri, briefly expressing my dismay at hearing of their anger at ISKCON and treatment of Srila Prabhupada, and quoting the first offense at the Holy Name. Just a few minutes ago I submitted the following comment to Dandavats (http://www.dandavats.com/?p=6667) ———– [...]

Fault finding? “We should publish more of it. Why not?” – ACBSP

Dear Devotees, Hare Krishna. Kurma Prabhu responded with a comment on my recent post and asked me display it here so others can see his response. I’m happy to do so. Hare Krishna Pandu dasa, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. Excuse me writing to you as a comment but your [...]

“On account of these designations, we are each other’s enemies.”

I submitted the following comment to this Dandavats.com page a few days ago. Since later comments by others have been published ont he same page, it appears that mine has been rejected. Here it is, unedited: —– Dear Kurma Prabhu, Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I understand that [...]
