    Many think that the abuse of children in the Hare Krishna ISKCON gurukul schools is a thing of the past.

    Unfortunately the abuse continues as this documentary by shows.

    It exposes the frightening fact that the same ISKCON management that presided over the massive abuse of Hare Krishna children in the 80's and 90's is still in power and they are still protecting the child abusers and continue to put the known child abusers and pedophiles in positions of responsiblity in ISKCON where they have full access to children.

    This is particularaly true in the ISKCON Indian gurukul schools at Mayapur and Vrindavan.

    Hare Krishna devotees send their children to these international gurukuls thinking they will be getting a spiritual education but the unfortunate reality is quite different.

  • Goran Mekota The Catholic Church with thousands of years of administrative development and a fully developed internal legal system started crushing down on abuse only after civil authorities and media got involved. That should be a lesson, and there is a lot of that in basically every religion.



    Organizations are just too interconnected and members invested to expect objectivity and motivation to deal with problems and well connected perpetrators, things have to be taken outside to the point when outside pressure in public perception, financial costs, legal consequence etc overweight internal interests.
