I am in contact with an ex member of the Chris Butler cult who was never told that Wai Lana and Chris Butler are married while they were in the group.
That fact is obscured from the newer cult members, this person joined on their own as an adult, recruited by a remote outpost of the cult in a foreign country. This person was heavily indoctrinated into Chris Butler worship by the cult members and their operation in the country of origin.
This person was shipped out to Kailua and agreed to work completely for free for all of Chris Butler's top businesses and projects. Everyone works for free or is booted out, they believe it is a great honor to be allowed to work directly for Chris Butler. These types of workers not only work completely for free, they are all forced to sign non disclosure agreements and are essentially indentured servants under multiple contracts and NDA's that they must sign, and are pressured to sign these on the spot without reading them.
The rules of the Krishna religion say that the guru should become a dedicated guru at some point in his life, renouncing his marriage and his worldly possessions, leading a simple life dedicated to teaching and preaching.
This is what my friend ex member wrote in regards to figuring out that Chris Butler was married to Wai Lana
Yes, they don't tell anyone, you have to figure it out on your own. Once you get deeper into the group, and are given more "service" (unpaid work for the various money-making projects) then you eventually gather enough info to deduce their relationship. So, once you figure it out, you are so deeply involved and committed that they can be sure you will just accept it without too much questioning. When I figured it out, I was a bit surprised, and asked why he was married. I got chastised for asking, and was harshly told that he can do whatever he wants, he has a reason for everything he does, and not to doubt his decisions. Now I realize how bogus it all is, from being told that reasoning to the fact that he asked her first husband, Syamasundar das from England to divorce her so that he could marry her.
