Good News Down Under Hare Krishna News From Australia (1988)Replying to Michael NguyenIts very happy on the surface but Krishna's are like normal people. They have pain, anxiety, angst, depression, stress, worries, fear. Its because they mask their emotions more as they have to present a positive image for public relations purposes, and therefore they practice strained sincerity as a way to feel and come across as humble. The authoritarian structure of the Krishna Cult makes it impossible for people to be truly happy, because there is no equality between people, it is about sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of everybody elses' happiness. So if you are depressed and sad, you have to suck it up and ignore your emotions and continue to be humble for the sake of your sociopathic, greedy, narcissistic and power hungry guru. Its an extremely exploitative system.@MissBelle79 Great mate. The original poster has shared their experiences, I have posted that I can attest to their validity. Instead of discounting and denying those experiences, why don't you add something to the conversation by telling us about your experiences? Are you saying you do not believe the original poster? Why? If you grew up as a teen in the Hare Krsna's, in the temple or one of their properties then you will know first hand of many of your peers who are not so happy about their experiences, and many who have taken class actions regarding abuse, you will also know about the sexual abuse by so called gurus, Bhavananda, Kirtananda etc, and the sexual abuse of children within the indian gurukulas by so called sanyasis? Etc etc. So please tell us what you observed. While you seem proud to endorse such a cult, I am very grateful that my period of involvement and in worshipping idols was confined to 5 years. -
