There are several hundred former ISKCON gurukula students living here on the West Coast. I know a lot of them, my kids know more of them than me. Almost cent percent of them boycott ISKCON, and do not participate. Only a small handful of them came to this year's Rathayatra, otherwise we won't see them anywhere around ISKCON functions. They believe they are victims of an orchestrated, systematic, regulated process of mistreatment. Some people, including a former GBC leader, said their mistreatment was indeed orchestrated on "industrial level." None of this level of systematic orchestration happens "by mistake." Meanwhile, I am being once again interviewed, this time for the "Monkey On A Stick" movie, after being interviewed many times previously by law enforcement, the FEDs, TV shows, book writers, CBS news, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone magazine, the New York Times, the Monkey On A Stick book, and so on and so forth, because I was being hunted to be taken out by GBC agents. Again, people who are being hunted are not being hunted by mistake or accident. And saying all of this was "a mistake," makes the victims feel like their victimization is being neglected, ignored and cancelled. One victim heard a GBC speaking recently about the history of post-1977 ISKCON -- and the victim said "none of us were mentioned even once, they are erasing us from their history." OK none of this is happening by mistake or accident, it is systematic, orchestrated, even industrial, and saying that criminal behavior is going on by accident and mistake, is covering up for the criminals, and is cancel culture on the victims.
my favorite Prabhupada quote is where he says women like to be raped, Children can be beaten, blacks should be slaves and that he was 22 years old when he honeymooned his 11 year old child bride. what is yours? Why did Prabhupada do snuff every night but told his disciples to not even eat chocolate?
