Abuse of Gurukulis in Mayapur
BY: BHAKTIN KRISTEN
Mar 27, MAYAPUR, WEST BENGAL (SUN) — Why is Malati writing about Kirtanananda das? Wasn't it Kirtanananda das who gave her sannyas? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Our ISKCON house has its own broken windows, including inside present day problems with child Molestation. Kirtanananda das has been separated from ISKCON for so many years. Why doesn't Malti address the problems of child molestation in today's ISKCON?
In our Mayapur Chandrodaya, some children are still being molested in the gurukula. Those of us who live there know it but we keep quiet because we're afraid to say anything. We know what'll happen to us if we speak up to any ISKCON authority to address the problem.
Some of us just don't feel too concerned about it since its not our kids who are getting molested. I suppose if it was our own children getting molested we would probably be more concerned. But it's happening to the Indian children whose parents aren't living on the Mayapur Chandrodaya complex.
It would be better if Malati would use her energy to make efforts to rectify the situation in the Mayapur gurukula. I might add that Malati has previously made statements regarding child molestation in the gurukulas, saying, "It's all their (the childrens') karma".
