Subject: Letter for disciples of Radhanatha Maharaja
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear disciples of Radhanatha Maharaja.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
As you are probably already aware, serious criticisms against your Guru,
Radhanatha Maharaja, were posted on several internet pages and Pamho.
It all started one week ago, by a letter posted on internet pages (added
below for your reference as ADD1), and continued on Pamho forums (added
below as ADD2). I immediately contacted GBC and asked them, to confirm or
refute those accusations. I recieved reply from Malati Mataji, explaining in
great detail the questionable nature of the author. But the questionable
nature of author was already obvious from his own involvement in the case,
and there was no real need for further display of his faults. Therefore I
rather asked Malati Mataji again for her clear statement regarding position
of Radhanatha Maharaja in this case, but received no answer from her untill
today.
After that I immediately wrote to whole GBC again, according to the list of
their personal email addresses, which I recieved directly from GBC
secretariat some time ago. I presented to them seriousness of accusations
against Radhanatha Maharaja, and asked them to kindly publish their official
statement regarding those accusations. There was no reply.
Untill today, over the last seven days, I wrote to entire GBC four letters,
begging them all to make their official statement regarding accusations
against Radhanatha Swami available to all ISKCON followers.
I tried my best, four letter in seven days. I think my writing further
letters to GBC will not provide solution. Probably the reason is, that I'm
just one, single voice, and I'm not even disciple of Radhanatha Maharaja.
Since I'm not personally involved in this case, I'm trying not to take sides
yet. I don't know what truth is. But my point is, that such criticisms
cannot be allowed against any bonafide vaisnava, link in vaisnava sampradaya
and leader in bonafide spiritual organization. Radhanatha Maharaja, who is
topmost ISKCON guru, with many qualified disciples, and even GBC member,
deserves all help and support from the side of GBC. Why all the silence? Why
not standing strong, and fight for the truth. It is a duty of GBC to stand
strong in protecting devotees, to expose sin and to protect purity of Srila
Prabhupada's movement.
Therefore, since I understand, that this case concerns you the most, I'm
informing you of those criticisms, about my actions to call for official
statement from GBC, and persistent silence from the side of GBC. I did what
I could, I can still maybe inform all Temple Prasidents about intriguing
silence of GBC, and if needed all devotees on Pamho. But thats as much as I
can do in my quest for getting clear official statement from GBC regarding
this most disturbing case. Now, if you feel that this case concerns you
enough, you may also want to stand up and do what you may consider proper.
Thank you
your servant Giri-nayaka das

Dear Giri-nayaka Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP!
I have erased your text 12800083 about Radhanatha Swami. The PAMHO Agreement
(www.pamho.net/agree.htm ) does not allow you to send such texts. Publishing
unconfirmed accusations is a criminal offense.

Having received no response from the GBC to his numerous inquiries, Giri-nayaka wrote a fourth letter to the GBC, asking for their opinion on the involvement of Radhanatha Swami in the New Vrindaban murder cases. Attached to this letter was a copy of Navadvipchandra dasa's article "Shocking Evidence Points to Radhanatha Swami", along with a link to the original article from 'Tirtha in Prison'.

------------------------------------------------------------
Dear GBC Members.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I'm sorry to contact you again on this matter, now already for the forth
time in last seven days. I wish it was not so, but it is necessary.
Criticism against Radhanatha Maharaja reached Pamho forums, two days ago.
I'm adding the text below. Author requested all readers to spread the letter
arround, and send it to all disciples of Radhanatha Maharaja.
As I see it, GBC should stand strong in this case, and take lead in forming
opinion of ISKCON followers. Your silence is intriguing, and quite
disturbing to the mind. But I'm also aware the you must have good reasons to
be silent. As your own chairman told me some time ago, GBC is the only group
of devotees, who really know what Srila Prabhupada wanted. Therefore I'm
sure, that whatever you do, will eventually be what Krsna wanted, because if
anybody is puppet in Krsna's hands, then GBC is surely the puppet in Krsna's
hands.
Still, for the benefit of all ISKCON followers, it would be convinient, if
GBC would publically explain, how we are to see these accusations against
Radhanatha Swami. Maharaja is one of GBC's top men, leading Guru in ISKCON, and many devotees are dependent on him for their spiritual guidance. If
accusations against him are a lie, then GBC would do well to protect him and
his disciples. After all he is one of you, your godbrother, your friend,
your people, he is working hard for ISKCON, and he surely deserves to be
protected by GBC in any way possible. You cannot just let such criticisms go
by, without even one word from you. GBC has all reasons to stand up strong
and protect Radhanatha Maharaja and his followers.
And above all, such criticisms just cannot exist against any leader of
bonafide spiritual group. It is just improper. Spiritual leader in vaisnava
sampradaya cannot be exposed to such criticisms. It is completely
unthinkable for bonafide link in vaisnava sampradaya to have burden of such
criticism upon themselves. It is embarassing, and disgraceful. We should be
ashamed, that Krsna is treating us like this. But it is surely in place, and
requires our response. It must be dealt with. It is a duty of ISKCON leaders
to protect their own people, to expose sin, and protect purity. If ISKCON
fails to protect their topmost leader, it will be seen as great failure of
ISKCON leadership. Speritual leader cannot just be left to be freely
criticized. If it is a lie, criticizer must be persecuted to highest extent.
Please, GBC members, kindly tell to ISKCON how are we supposed to see this
accusations against Radhanatha Maharaja in light of Krsna Consciousness.
What is the purpose of this for our devotional development, and how to deal
with it in a spiritual way, so that Srila Prabhupada will be satisfied with
us, and will bless us with his caring glance.
Thank you
your servant Giri-nayaka das
After the text of his first letter to the disciples of Radhanath Swami was deleted by Ramakanta Prabhu, PAMHO's SysOp, Giri-nayaka dasa contacted him to ask what parts of the letter were found to be offensive. His reply was that the quotes had to be removed.
Dear Giri-nayaka Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP!
>Can you please let me know which parts of text fall in category of not
> allowed, so that I can remove/revise them?
Your part is okay. So just remove the quoted texts with the accusations.
>My text was a plea to all Radhanath Swami disciples, that they ask GBC to
> make public statement regarding the accusations against Radhanatha Swami.
Just do that. There is no need to quote the accusations. The GBC already
knows them. And the disciples of Radhanath Swami do not have to know the
details.

Giri-nayaka dasa then submitted the following revised letter to the disciples of Radhanath Swami, and this letter was presumably allowed to be sent through the PAMHO system:

Subject: Letter for disciples of Radhanatha Maharaja
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear disciples of Radhanatha Maharaja.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
--------------------------------------
THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF PREVIOUSLY DELETED TEXT! Direct quotes have
been removed, to avoid exposing you to criticisms. After being notified by
Ramakanta Prabhu, pamho sysop, that my text has to be deleted, I asked him
if I can resend my text without offending texts, and he allowed it, saying
"Your part is okay. So just remove the quoted texts with the accusations."
So, here it is again, for your information and consideration.
--------------------------------------
NOTE: GBC is fully informed of all offending texts, and you can try to
contact them for further info and cooperation. Texts are most disturbing and
you, the disciples of Radhanath Swami, do not have to know the details.
--------------------------------------
As you are probably already aware, serious criticisms against your Guru,
Radhanatha Maharaja, were posted on several internet pages and Pamho.

Dear Ramakanta Prabhu.
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for letting me know. It is most intersting that you were requested
to remove me from PAMHO entirely.
I'd say I have reached the limit. Basically I have said what was to be said.
Yes, Kazakhsthan was a tricky part. If Kazakh government would read it, they
would just see how uninformed we are by our own leaders, and how manipulated
we are, to the point of being ready to go on the streets and protest against
the whole country, with attempt to destroy that country's political image in
the world. They would see that, and possibly they would die laughing at our
naivity and foolishness. I agree with you, it was a dangerous text, indeed.
Now ISKCON seniors will present me as danger to ISKCON? Thats amazing. I
wish you would know me in person. I'm such an ordinary person, with family,
four kids, house and car, (yes, plenty of computers and gizmos in my
studio...), but completely simple, just nobody. You wouldn't even notice me,
even in small assembly. I like prasadam, and I gave my life to following
Srila Prabhupada, and I wish that one day I may become qualified as his
accepted follower. My fault is, that I'm not willing to ignore things which
I see as harmful to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, and am even willing to openly
speak about it. I would allways raise my voice whenever I saw some
questionable things in ISKCON. That was allways my problem in ISKCON, and I
was kicked because of this for unlimited times. And because I'm materially
independent from ISKCON, there is really nothing that ISKCON can do to me,
to materially force me to accept situation as it is.
Now the attempt is made, to terminate my Pamho account. I'm thankfull, that
you will give me a second chance. There is actually just one single thing,
which is binding me to Pamho. It is the nectar of Srila Prabhupada's quotes,
which are so merciufully posted every day by Bhakti Vikasa Maharaja, and
other devotees. But BVKS is really amazingly steady, every day he posts a
quote, without fail. It is my daily sadhana, to run Pamho, and read that
quote. It makes my every day. For this reason alone, I wish not to lose
PAMHO. You got me, I will submit to your request, and stop posting critical
texts on PAMHO, unless I'm ordered by an authority (guru, GBC, temple
president) to do so (which will probably never happen).
Thank you
your servant Giri-nayaka das
