Kirtananda Swami, a messenger of God or ruthless religious godfather? The outlaw swami pleads innocent in a gruesome murder.
Is he an unconventional religious leader or a ruthless cult dictator? Swami Bhaktipada is in the eye of the storm in a case involving murder, kidnapping and mail fraud.
The son of a Baptist minister, Bhaktipada, founded a Hare Krishna community in the hills of West Virginia 21 years ago.
In a swarm of controversy the swami was kicked out of the Krishna movement three years ago.
Bhaktipada, previously known as Keith Ham, has been named in five counts of racketeering charged including conspiricy to commit murder against Steven Bryant who waged a one-man campaign against him.
Swami Bhaktipada also has a book out called "How to Say No to Drugs."
