The Hare Krishna movement also insists that in order to establish a proper relationship with Krishna it is absolutely imperative to accept for oneself a guru. The devotee’s initiation implies that he accepts the guru as his spiritual master and agrees to worship him as God; on the guru’s side it means that he takes on the karma, or sinful deeds, of his disciples on himself.

R: Why is he interested in protecting Chris Butler?
A: Because saintly people only see the good in others.
I am trying to tell you that he didn't do anything except ask me to take care of my kids and chant. I am the only one asking you to do anything.
Sounds like a threat to me, Hare Krishna style.
There are many cases like Canada Girl that authorities should start looking into seriously about religious cults’ diabolical power over followers.
This is 2016. Free Speech will stay an integral part of globalization; that will not go away. What will go away are vestiges of the past like unquestioned truth, bigotry, domination, exploitation, inequality and other manipulative practices that unfortunately are religious by nature. If you’re on the side of truth, you have nothing to fear, but if you propagate questionable practices and ideology, be ready to get challenged and defend them the most rational way. Not only you’ll be questioned on the world stage, the audience is global and transcript is permanent.
Gone are the days when the indefensible can get a pass as an arcane precept of religion.
There’s just too much victimization that society keeps failing to address; thanks to the Internet, cases are well documented and access is convenient and free. If you’re a Hare Krishna guru, chances are not as good that you’ll be seen as a good guy as compared to a few decades ago.
For Bodhayan Swami:
To capitulate to and endorse an utterly evil practice of godbrother Jagad Screwball purely because of religious affiliation you will be hounded by truthseekers relentlessly. A guru is not as hallowed anymore as offending decency nowadays. If you choose to cling to a dying tradition, the free world does not effing care. There may still be people who believe in guru’s infallibility, but the free world rules. If you don’t side with free speech, go sink like a stone. Your time is long gone.
This stuff tears me to pieces; a lot of people had gone the same situation as Canada Girl. Unfortunately, the laws and the social services would not care to listen; anything that involves religious groups, the system would rather stay away, unless there are physical bruises. They fail to understand that the stress and psychological bruises are 100 times more, especially with children.
It’s obvious, Canada Girl suffers from “Battered Wife Syndrome”. The fact that she switches from one guru to another is a clear sign.
Gurus are egomaniacs. I pray, Canada Girl and her five children are safe.
