Please Maharaja please sign this petition of the video. To see people contributing to such a pedophilic organization like ISKCON is not really healthy to anyone. Did you know that ISKCON's Child protection funds are now 9000$ as when it was at first 150 000$ it is purely only pr-machine for those criminals: http://krishnachildren.com/ Hare Krishna!!
HpS - AgtSP. Thank you for your interest in this problem. As we said in our last letters ISKCON is a very big organization. We are looking at the elefant from one part. We try to act properly in terms of the whole institution, that is like trying to be a good American. We didn't think Trump or Clinton were 7% worthy of being President of the United States. We try to correct the situation locally also. We just came back from one week of work with our Primary School program in Houston, Texas.
I started to watch the movie but it was so specific and so slow.
We have had individual talks with the last Minister of Child Protection. There was not great interest or support for the program from GBC, Temple Presidents, Parents or even children. Some, Yes, Yes, Yes. Our disciples have been local child protection officers.
When some of these issues went to court I researched the informationa and the % of child abuse including harsh physical disciplining in India ISKCON residential schools was life 25%. At the same time th USA national average was 35%. As an institution we are not that much greater than the general world but we are better. I see struggles again and again to correct abuses and ISKCON as an institution does not seem to be in much worse than any other modern instituion like Soviet Union, USA, Catholic Church, Boy Scouts of America.
I aske about five Gurukula graduates, about 23 years old when they were talking about their bad experiences in Gurukula, if they were all vegetarian, and they all looked at me with a look of reproach, and said, "Of course!". So our comment was that that was not true of their parents. So there had been some step up.
Their parents all believes in Romeo and Juliet. You will find your Soul Mate!!
They have very serious doubts about that and approach sexual relations with a much more sane attitude.
So, big topic.
We try to work locally.
They need a shorter facts sheet to express their position in terms of the elephant.
