chapter 3 thanks for the apple blossoms Truth is banned from any ISKCON message board..... The standard operating procedure for any criminal hoarde..... The reason for the ban was not given..... Do we pose a threat to their style of livin'?.... When is it proper to swing a Ksatriya sword?.... What "Mystic Potencies" can these great heroes show?.... Imagine having Ravanath Swami! as "Your Great Hero!".... "Been there, Done That!", But I learned this though..... Caitanya Caritamrta antya 2,texts 143-172,the purports clearly show.... "Fake Sanyass", for purification of this movement, must go!.... The bean counters that have taken the missions assets.... Are no better than hogs, dogs, camels, and asses.... The old sexual predators still "Want in the Club".... So, up tight in the crowd, they'll get their legs rubbed.... How can a sincere devotee surrender to someone so classless? Their continued existance is "ISKCON's Big Problem".... Let the Ksatriyas amongst us try to solve them..... Or "Are you all panty-waisted, girly men with no sack??.... When did Krsna tell Arjuna it was right to attack?.... Why dont they want this REVOLUTION to revolve, then?.... Those predictions of 2nd Generationists as world leaders.... Maybe soon some of the 1st generation become believers.... For now, when real spiritual vision is required.... There's a whole lot of ISKCON's "Good Standing Gurus" needs fired.... And, spare us please, any more of the "3rd String Relievers"... All these we don't yet know to have fallen.... Those who have taken The Guru Business as a callin'.... We should give them a chance to fail us?.... They will give us a chance at their phallus.... You can't be taken seriously, worldwide, with all this ballin'!.... amicus curie = friend of the court. a person with a strong interest in or views on the subject matter of an action may petition the court for permission to file a brief, such amicus curie briefs are commonly filed in appeals concerning matters of broad public interest, like civil rights cases. such may be filed by private persons or by the government. all of this is offered amicus curie, as a friend of the court. in this case the court is the court of public opinion, which, for now, will be limited to the devotee community and all those monitering it's actions. as all good devotees of The Lord must now know, "He is here!", in some Way, Shape, or Form, to fullfill all scriptural injunctions, no matter what valid scripture one follows. this is truly "the good news" real devotees are always anxious to discuss and hear about. in the law courts of a demoniac society, how can a devotee of The Lord expect "justice", and the answer is that one can't. our justice must come at another level or in seeing the collapse of the entire unjust system. as a member of the inner council that Radhanath had established to consolidate his power, one could very easily see the methodology by which radhanath moved. the end justifies the means in any demoniac society, and this became true, even in the so-called society that Swami maharaj had established. formerly, this analysis had only applied to those the devotees called "the karmis". now, for a change, the movement was turning a critical eye to even senior, elevated members of the same movement. factionalism had set in around the mistaken belief that "Guru is dead!". the desire to re-establish order in ones life by surrendering to a bona-fide authority in the past, "why shouldn't it work now?'? for many, it did, for some time, but depending on the area one found ones self in, sooner or later, the corruption of a non-infallible individual would set in and the options became very limited. you could either "go along to get along!", or "you could get out!". many had been gotten out of these communities for refusing to kneel and kiss the new ruler's feet. many of the second generation of Krsna's kids were afraid to bend over and close their eyes since the abuse was so dominant in their young experiences. equally bewildered were the parents who had done every thing they had been instructed to do by their spiritual authorities. now. in light of the child abuse scandal{and it should be more of a scandal than it is}, their faith had been questioned by both their children and by themselves. parents were estranged from their children and the children from their parents, in what many would come to call a methodology of the destroyers of the family tradition. this philosophy was all pervasive at New Vrndaban under the reign of kieth ham, aka HDG kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada, henceforth, "K swa". richard slavin, aka radhanath, radhanath swami saw a great opportunity to consolidate a power base that had been k swa's. if k swa was to die, it would all , rightfully, come to radhanath. if k swa lived through the attack of triyogi, radhanath could return those disciples to k swa's camp when the time was right. if the time never became right, radhanath would have to take the disciples back to godhead. how hard could it be? k swa had done it for so many years and radhanath siezed this opportunity, in an alliance with arthur villa, aka kuladri, aka kruel arti, and they jointly ran The Farm, the spending, and the steven bryant/sulocan murder contract. much of this directly contradicts the events as described in the FBI indictment{see exhibit 4}. the FBI indictment was written to offer protection to san diego's jeffcornia, aka yudhisthir,and radhanath for their outstanding co-operation with law enforcement officials in their on-going murder investigations. the government investigators came to the erroneous conclusion that this organization poses a threat to no one but themselves.5 the janet reno justice department downgraded the threat level posed by this organization based on the first hand information gathered by the operatives that had successfully infiltrated the organizations outlets. to this day the organization is infiltrated, unbeknown to most of the organizations leadership. how to tell the difference between the sincere devotees and the agent provacatuers planted in the organization to sow discontent? "all men are forced to act helplessly according to the impulses born of the modes of material nature." "one who restrains the senses and the organs of action, but whose mind dwells on sense objects, certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender." "there are many...greatest cheaters" "even though he sometimes speaks of philosophy, his knowledge has no value because the effects of such a sinful mans knowledge is taken away by The Lord." "psuedo meditators who falsely pose they have sacrificed all for the sake of advancement in spiritual life." "he who enjoys these gifts, without offering them to the demigods in return, is certainly a thief." the warnings were all there, posted all along the path to real spiritual life, but not everyone had the eyes to see them and not everyone made the effort to act when called upon. "thanks for the apple blossoms!" was a standard joke among the pujaris at new vrndaban. whenever a pickup truck full of rednecks would speed past the commune, especially if they were a house that had been raided for flowers for the altar, the pujaris who knew this would joke among themselves and thank the "donors" for what was called ajnana-sukrti, unknowing devotional service. the concept was that by removing something from it's lawful owner and returning it to krsna, you were properly engaging the items in devotional service. this then, was "ajnana sukrti", unknowing devotional service. political activists like hippy terri sheldon called this "liberating", the police who investigated such things called it theft, although there were many different levels at which the scams were run. yes, it was true that He was the flower bearing spring and The Deities did look very beuatiful every sunday morning, but at what cost? every morning, especially sunday mornings, in the pre-dawn hours a van or a pickup truck would roll out into the early morning fog banks and in about as long as it takes to dress The Deities, that vehicle would re-emerge as a virtual cornucopia of assorted fresh flowers and flowering fruit tree branches.wanted in three states for theft and destruction of private property, deevotees were impervious to arguments on this issue. EVERYTHING belonged to krsna. they were trying to serve krsna. therefore, everything that they got their hands on was "their gift to krsna", or not, as they saw fit for that day. the concept of "right and wrong" had died, along with their karma, and that was final. their guru maharaj was going to take all their sufferings and they were going to go right on sinning until they got tired of doing it. one example of this was charles st dennis, chakradhari das. the st dennis murder was well documented in the book monkey on a stick and to a large degree that reporting was accurate but there were a number of glaring fictions. for one thing, the rape story was just a cover that tirtha used to get k swa to sanction his actions. drescher would fly it by his "spiritual authority" before he would whack anyone and this, he felt, would give him an aura of spiritual invincibility since he was serving a pure devotee of the Lord. tirtha and vrndapati had robbed a van full of moonies who came by the palace for a visit. they had spent the weekend at new vrndaban and while they were taken on a final "special" tour, their van was was broken into and robbed for several hundred dollars in cash. when the moonies returned from the tour to their burglarized van, drescher simply told them to leave. he was that kind of a guy. as the bus driver, he could terrorize a whole van full of gurukula or nursery school kids into complete silence. the gurukula in dallas had just closed under the scandal over what had happened there and "the usual suspects", the four amigos from the dallas debacle reassembled at new vrndaban under the protection of k swa, himself already sampling the fruits of the tree of his gurukula. he was in need of a head master because the last headmaster was accused of abusing his male students and to take some pressure off the situation, k swa propsed replacing ronald nay(gopinath das, radha vrndaban chandra swami, rvc swa) with the sharpest tool in the bag coming from the dallas collapse. this was one gary gardiner(sri galima das, sri G) of san antonio, texas. he had gotten initiated and instructed to work in the gurukula for the rest of his life, but the child molestations that ended his gurukula career failed to properly end his life. still living in the pittsburg/new vrndaban area this unrepentant, unconvicted, and as yet, uncharged child molester is still very tight in his communications with nvc management and spiritual heirarchy. his wife occasionally visits and always asks when it will be alright for sri galima to return. james prins(saci pita, siri, dutchy, mr. saci) pays even less regard to the feelings of his victims and, in fact, is still on the trail of the children he molested in their youth. when drescher thought of a plan to kill chakradhari, he knew he would need help. dan reid(daruka das) was the office boy to howard fawley(dulal chandra das), the multimillionaire office manager of the new vrndaban criminal empire. dulal was a meglomaniac that had funded and escaped from the Prasadam Distributors Inc(PDI) drug bust on the left coast. that bust altered ISKCON drug operations from a corporate funded and supported source of fund raising to a private endevor that might or might not financially benefit the movment, but it certainly wouldn't implicate ISKCON in the traffic that produced the results that they enjoyed. chakradhari had bought a piece of land with a structure on it from tirtha when tirtha found out that the resident thug job wasn't all it was cracked up to be. chakradhari still owed tirtha $ 5,000 for the house that tirtha had sold him. the well had caved in and st dennis was holding the $5,000 in escrow in case he had to get the well cleaned out for the up coming growing season. chakradhari had given tirtha all winter and nothing had happened. tirtha had moved and needed money and he had decided he would wait no longer. chakradhari was not intimidated by tirtha, but he did however, underestimate the treachery of his opponent. this judgmental error cost him his life. the rape story would work. daruka's wife vrsni, was having sex with chakradhari and daruka wanted him dead for that. he didn't want him dead bad enough to do it, but he had agreed to help tirtha get rid of the body if tirtha would do it. now all it needed was "spiritual sanction".... jambu was on vacation, breaking in his new i4 year old wife, so dewitt hill(dayavira das) was personal servant and cook for k swa when tirtha arrived at the door. tirtha hadn't been to the morning services, mangal arti, so to be at k swa's door this early, it must have been something important. tirtha said he was having a problem with someone and he wanted to know if his understanding of scripture was correct. Bhagavad Gita 1:36 says that six kinds of aggressors should be killed at once and no sin is incurred if such persons are killed. two of those types of aggressors are one who plunders your riches and one who aggresses against your wife. tirtha asked, "is this still our belief?". tirtha wanted to know if it would be alright to kill chakradhari if he was screwing daruka's wife. the conversation only lasted about four sentences. both were men of few words. on his way out the door, tirtha threw dayavira a big smile. "i knew he would say i was right", tirtha said with all the confidence of a child who'd gotten to the father first with his version of the events. k swa may not even known he was sanctioning the chakradhari murder in tirtha's mind, but tirtha was certain he was going to do it. daruka's place was selected for the execution for three reasons. first, it was an extremely remote area, even for new vrndaban. second, gunshots were common "back in the hollers". third, the time and places needed to conceal the body were on their side. "without a body, there can't be a murder" tirtha gloated, confident that he could pull off the perfect crime. "why not?", krsna empowered others to do great things, "why wouldn't He allow tirtha to become famous in ISKCON?" "don't you want to develop some mystic powers?" tirtha would often ask other devotees, and more often than not, they agreed with him. tirtha used to have a "Prabhupada says"(see ISKCRIT dictionary) that went like this: "Prabhupada says,'what is the highest pleasure?'." the answer: SEX LIFE! Prabhupada says: "no! to kill another human being. this is even higher than sexual pleasure. then tirtha would always say: "you know, he's right! i've killed people and i know!" i always just basically questioned tirtha's sexual techniques rather than attributing the thrill tirtha found in slaying other humans to be symptomatic of the killing act itself. he, nonetheless, believed it. radhanath das, now radhanath swami, and soon to be "king of all scotland"; oh, no, that was macbeth. the radhanath who had not yet ordered the sulocan killing, the bhajan boy, he liked tirtha's "get-r-done" approach and he truly lusted after the loyalty that tirtha had lavished on k swa. after the st dennis whacking, radhanath's little string of "preaching centers" became tirtha's safe houses, returning to new vrndaban only once a month for the four day long festival/skamkirtan party held each month to honor the collectors. honors were bestowed on the basis of the dollars collected, commonly called "laxmi points". after the sulocan hit, tirtha and top buffoon were arrested at radhanath's center in kent, ohio. radhanath had delivered the cash at mangal arti and they planned to secure traveller's checks and leave the country as soon as the kent state bank opened. they were arrested at the bank at opening time by the co-ordinated effort of the FBI, who orchestrated the bryant murder using the hapless thugs from the farm, and the local police, who knew of tirtha's return to ohio from LA, BEFORE HIS PLANE EVEN LANDED. these are the benefits of having an agent provacatuer at their disposal. their disposable informant, randal gorby, was out to settle a score with the commune because one of it's members was having illict sex with his daughter. radhanath had ordered them to kill k swa in the nov-dec 1985 days of doubt over k swa's continued presence. now, his attempts to help them escape had almost compromised radhanath's freedom. with new vrndaban either unable or unwilling to assist in his legal defense, radhanath had no choice but to approach his obscenely wealthy father. hoping for the finest lawyer money could buy, he was more than happy to find that his father claimed he had gotten him "the finest FBI money could buy". slavin,sr. was a long time chicago gangster. anyone knowing the stories of the pre-pure devotee slavin,jr may know that daddy's money sent him to india, prior to his assosciation with ISKCON. that money bought favorable treatment for junior to the point that he would be written out of the RICO indictment even though he ordered the murder and he delivered the get away money to the two perpetrators. that's some fancy persuasion. money was no object and radhanath would go state's evidence and co-operate 100% with all government investigations. jeff cornia(yudhisthir das) was forced to marry an attorney to prepare a legal defense. his wife, radha cornia, represented ISKCON in some of the earlier lawsuits against the organization. cornia was awarded, for his participation in the sulocan murder, a house and land at new vrndaban at below market value. real estate speculation has brought about the creation of six corporations at new vrndaban, all of which are real estate holding companies. these companies were formed as the lawsuit became a reality in an attempt to conceal and protect real estate assets. top buffoon deeded himself the prime forty acres of new vrndaban for a rent payment that is less than the annual tax liability to ISKCON, this ex-convict purports to own the Holy Dham, and therefore the right to deny access, even to the life members. most all of these actions are illegal and they exist solely, at the whims of the corporate officials who lavish themselves with outlandish salaries and benefits far in excess of the worth of their performances. kuladri has taken a pay increase each year with the promise that he would chant his rounds next year, but the $80,000 a year salary does not seem to be enough to make him keep that promise. by his own admission, these days, his sadhana is not that strong. his faith in radhanath was shattered by hrsikesh mafatlal's revelation that radhanath had been intimate on at least two occasions with different young women of his disciple pool. for more information on this matter one can write the following address: sri sri radha gopinath mandir lady northcoate orphanage munsi marg, mumbai, india mark it to the attention of either hrsikesh mafatlal, dr. narendra desai, or radhanath. answers may not be as forthcoming as the solicitations for donations, but the questions still need to be asked. the federal grand jury indictment is skillfully written to exonerate richard slavin, the only devotee whose devotee name is not used in a perjorative sense. the doctored indictment scenario has him personally present in the vehicle when the hit money passed from dharmatma to k swa. the actual events, for anyone knowing new vrndaban, was that radhanath came to the skamkirtan house to pick up the get away money. he drove it to k swa's house and watched as k swa counted it. radhanath then packed it for travel the next day to his preaching center in kent, ohio. kent had been a hangout for tirtha and his side kick, top buffoon. actually, TPS as he was called by the collectors, was supposed to be running the center, and he was supposed to be a sanyassi. tirtha lived off his girls friends hustles and he contributed nothing. radhanath had to go to his dad for donations since k swa would give him no financial assistance. now there was no time. k swa would have to spend money to fix the screw up that radhanath had ordered. he wasn't happy about that, but it had to be done.
