CPO accepts changing and conflicting testimony without questioning it
2023-01-12
Nobody is saying that touching was alright but changing the instances from 3 (in the first report) to 50-60-80 times and later to the nightly affair, as mentioned in the final CPO report, is not only a severe claim but a changing claim on such a sensitive issue! The CPO should not have overlooked it! It’s a significant point to note since the case revolves around this, but interestingly the CPO tactically didn’t highlight it.Continue Reading

Dissatisfaction & Disappointment over the investigation of former Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami (AV)
2023-01-09
There were faults in AV’s behavior that were admitted by AV in his reply and acknowledged by the CPO. This was sufficient for any consideration of punishment for him. The other allegations made based on contested or specious evidence should be given up or rejected. Otherwise, the CPO’s credibility becomes doubtful, and because it’s doubtful it’s also doubtful on the offenses we agree on. Hence, it taints the entire case against AV and future cases against others.Continue Reading
Shocking extent of fBVPS/AVD abuse of Mayapur children
2023-01-04
It’s not only fBVPS reputation that has suffered here but also of Mayapur gurukulas as well. The 2006 preliminary CPO report includes many letters from former students and their parents, all but one glorifying the school and describing wonderful, character forming experiences they had there. Somehow this image has been replaced with pictures of Mayapur gurukulas as hotbeds of sexual, physical, and spiritual abuse.Continue Reading

How can FDG proponents say that Srila Prabhupada wanted female gurus all along when he clearly writes in the quoted letters – do not start big programs to attract the masses? But when he gave sannyasa to men the idea was that they should use this position for even more massive and more vigorous preaching. Just look through his instructions to Yamuna again:Continue Reading
