And ppl compare to Catholic Church bc Catholic Church had one scandal 30 years ago . And today Catholic Church openly admits to the wrong doing and damage
Hinduism does not have a concept of guilt transference. It has only a concept of clear justice. A human’s sins don’t not transfer to God. The law of Karma permits no exception. Irrespective of who he is, the pedophile HAS to be exposed and punished. ISKCON cannot and should not be allowed to become the Catholic Church.
Also Hinduism had the caste system for 8000 years and it didn’t end till the Christian’s came and told you guys you were crazy . Also look at how you guys treat one another , why did a catholic like mother Theresa have to come help your poor instead of your own holy
People ? Why don’t Hinduis clean and partake in voltunerrimg and charity ? You go to India and everyone thinks of only themselves and throws trash on ground
Go to the Vatican or Jerusalem and you do not see this . But you go to the holiest places in Hinduism and you see garbage everywhere

Stop lying about the Catholic Church , the church does not claim any of these things . The church openly talks about the damage the scandal and cover up caused , and has worked to make sure victims are consoled and that allegations are taken seriously today .
If you go into a Catholic Church crying about abuse , the priest will console you , not yell at you and tell you to leave .
To sum it up: Never send your child to an Iskcon boarding school. Period. Nobody will love your children the way you do. I can't believe people were willing to send their children to these schools even AFTER the abuses were revealed. Bad parenting. The parents are just as guilty. Even in the beginning, before abuses were revealed, who sends 5 year olds to boarding schools? Really. What is wrong with people? As a mother, I can't imagine doing something like that. --Past Iskcon devotee
U can easily tell real holiness from self serving lies. Real
Holiness leads to people like MLK , ore social movements like suffrage or the end of slavery .
These guys go hide in the hills and forests and focus on being happy .

They do it because their religion is inherently egotistical and self serving . It’s all about comfort , and being happy. Feeling ecstasy .
That’s why . Their “philosophy “ trys to make it seem that bad things don’t actually happen , it’s your “perception” that makes things bad .
Therefore , abandoning your children is not “bad” , nor is anything. In in their twisted reasoning, is good because now you have more time to focus ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND FEELING HAPPY.

@shivfloydJesus Christ , God. Not some random guy from the 70s . Cmon , why do you guys follow men
Thank you very much for the report. I have known ISKCON myself since 1984 and am shocked by the many child abuses and the silence (denying it) of various swamis and the GBC.
Even today, in 2022, the subject of child abuse, e.g. in Mayapur, has become public again. By people who were/are known to the GBC and no responsibility was taken on the part of the GBC. Also, the GBC itself consists almost exclusively of men.
I am deeply depressed in my heart. It's exactly the same with child abuse in the Catholic Church. There, too, bishops cover up the truth.
Still, I think it's time not only to uncover the cases, to look and be mindful, BUT to ask the general question of what celibacy does to people (men)!!!! This has nothing to do with Krishna, nor with any belief, but with human suppression of love and closeness! Everyone needs security, attention and closer trust to another person!!! This is something to think about - also within ISKCON!!! I don't think sexual abuse will ever stop otherwise! And we humans are guests on this earth and committed to the peaceful and harmonious formation of this planet!!!
It’s not the same in the Catholic Church , our church leaders regularly speak of the damage and suffering that chapter or cover up had on everyone especially the victims . There is no denial of what happened or minimizing its effects . I’m Catholic , we’re taught the church really messed up bad .

Ridiculous philosophy
