Dear Prabhus, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This flagrant example of criminal negligence on the part of Bir Krishna Das Goswami in Hillsborough, North Carolina in 1996 (see 2011 GBC Minutes excerpt below) put my own children and the other gurukula children at risk. I think that I have a right to know the details. Do any of you know anything about this?
Windle Turley, the high powered Dallas, Texas lawyer who sued ISKCON for child abuse in 2000, told me over the phone in 1999 that sexual child abuse is like a cancer. “If it’s not brought out into the open quickly and dealt with quickly, then the abused become abusers and the abuse spreads like wildfire.” (paraphrased)
Not only BKG, but the entire GBC body is guilty of gross criminal negligence for covering up the severe sexual abuse of helpless children for decades, thereby allowing it to spread like a cancer right under their very noses. They even went so far as to keep the abuse secret from gurukula headmasters such as myself!
And yet these same criminals are still in charge of ISKCON, desperately clinging to their positions like tyrannical dictators who are afraid of being brought to justice if they give up power. Thus, like typical tyrants, they are cursed to have to cling to their positions of power well past the time that their positions should have been turned over to a new generation of leaders.
Srila Prabhupada said over and over again that his disciples should take vanaprastha (begin giving up the comforts of home and begin giving up all social, political and business ties) at the age of 50 years. Srila Prabhupada never said that an exception could be made if a particular disciple was on the GBC or there was an emergency situation or any of the many other excuses that his disciples are currently dreaming up.
How many of the current GBC men are past the age of 50? How much longer are we going to have to put up with these incompetent, criminally negligent rascals being in charge of Srila Prabhupada’s beloved ISKCON?
Your servant, Pratyatosa Dasa, former gurukula headmaster

308: Letter of Censure to Bir Krishna Das Goswami
Dear Bir Krishna Maharaja,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Due to the reasons stated below, you have been censured. A censure expresses disapproval of your conduct. A censure is an official note of caution.
Please take due notice thereof and rectify the situation.
In 1996, as GBC of ISKCON Hillsborough, North Carolina, you received a credible allegation that a member of the congregation had committed sexual abuse of a child some years earlier in another country. While some investigation was done, and some cautionary steps taken, you failed to properly report the incident to local authorities, or later to the CPO. Most significantly, the local community and householders were not notified or made or aware of this potential threat, contrary to ISKCON Law 3.5.5.1.3.9.
This put the community at risk and created serious potential exposure to repetition of these incidents.
Your servants on the GBC Body

Here are some details about why Bir Krishna Das Goswami was censured at this year’s GBC meeting for something that happened in 1996 when I was still there in North Carolina helping my wife to run the local gurukula (school):
http://harekrsna.com/sun/
It states that BKG sent out a letter of apology to all of the parents, but I never received any such letter. The first that I heard about this sordid affair was when I read this year’s GBC resolutions!

Hare Krishna.
Pratyatosa Prabhu.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You say that you are the former gurukula headmaster, and “How much longer are we going to have to put up with these incompetent, criminally negligent rascals being in charge of Srila Prabhupada’s beloved ISKCON?”
Problems in paradise? Or do you want to win a kick button?
Of course the vanaprastha ashram can be established in Iskcon and the non corrupt Children Protection Office also, and the Direction of Management, the ritvik system, the devotional service without payment for temple presidents and the yes-man team. The original books of Srila Prabhupada and the standard of the book Archana Paddhati by Srila Rupa Goswami can be re-established too, the original date for Ekadasi fasting, the harinam-sankirtan, the books and prasadam distribution, the 4 principles and 16 rounds at least, the original gurukula system, the ratha-yatra, the nama-hatta program, the class by a real devotee, etc. etc. etc. and all what you want, in another words to re-establish again the whole temple of love and mercy of Srila Prabhupada, but in the Iskcon within your heart. Because Fiskcon don’t has fix. The irreversible damage to Iskcon is previous than 1978. For example, I saw a document about a temple president earning 3.000 dollars monthly from the sankirtan founds in 1975. The temple president mostly saw the visit of Srila Prabhupada to his country as part of the business. Like part a of the Hare Krishna’s “Circus.”
Fiskcon is the best example of what a “sinister organization” can do to a democratic institution especially if it is spiritual. The Protocols of the sages of Zion 10-8 says: “Consequently it is not the institutions which are important but their functions. These institutions have divided up among themselves all the functions of government – administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have come to operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and … will die.” And 17-5: “But, IN THE MEANTIME, while we are re-educating youth in new traditional religions and afterwards in ours, WE SHALL NOT OVERTLY LAY A FINGER ON EXISTING CHURCHES, BUT WE SHALL FIGHT AGAINST THEM BY CRITICISM CALCULATED TO PRODUCE SCHISM.” Any similitude with the current events is pure coincidental.
All this is related with the Zionist idea to install the only one governing person in the world, the new world order. This is based in the principle of divide and conquers, but they apply this principle within themselves also, and by that Jesus said: “All divided house is destined to collapse.”
Srila Prabhupada said that if you are not a sincere devotee then Krishna will send you a cheater. In this order of ideas Fiskcon is filling a hole in the society. Fiskcon is freeing a lot of karma of the devotees. We can conceive Fiskcon like a creative concept of what the Hare Krishna movement should be. This, under the concept of yukta-vairagya, practical renunciation, the utility, witch is the more basic subject in Nectar of Devotion both for the new incomer in KC. To the top most advanced devotee and this is the most important matter in all the chapters of Bhagavad gita from the beginning to the end. But, anyway, a real devotee nothing has to do with Fiskcon and its unlimited offences.
I called the police there in Hillsborough, NC recently, and, half a year after the 2011 GBC Minutes were published, they still hadn’t heard a thing about the GBC Letter of Censure to Bir Krishna Das Goswami!
Well, now they have, and it sounds like Bir Krishna (Bruce Jacobs) is going to be arrested shortly for covering up a known child abuser and for covering up child abuse/child sexual molestation.
My wife, Urmila Devi Dasi (Edith Best), may also be arrested, because she was also part of the official ISKCON GBC/ISKCON Board of Education cover-up of the abuse/sexual molestation/rape of hundreds of helpless children. Her part in the cover-up directly resulted in 2 helpless girls, between the ages of 8 and 12 years, being repeatedly sexually molested over a period of 5 years, between 1986 and 1991, both in Detroit and in North Carolina!
I talked with Orange County, NC, USA Sheriff’s deputy Capt. Daniel (919-644-3050) yesterday morning. He said that Bir Krishna’s supporters have been showing up at the Sheriff’s Office trying in vain to stem the tide. He said that they now know that the “cat is out of the bag” and that a criminal case against Bir Krishna is being prepared.
This means that out of all of the defendants named in the Turley vs. ISKCON child abuse lawsuit (http://surrealist.org/05jpgs/complaint_state.pdf), he could be the first to actually go to jail. This would be Krishna’s mercy upon him because it would save him from being dealt with even more harshly, at the time of his leaving his material body, in the court of Yamaraja!
Please try to get the police motivated. Call the Orange County, North Carolina Sheriff’s Dept. (http://www.co.orange.nc.us/sheriff/ – 919-644-3050 – Sgt. Tina Rimmer – trimmer@co.orange.nc.us). Demand justice, citing the ISKCON GBC censure of Bir Krishna Das Goswami, a.k.a. Bruce Jacobs.
Pratyatosa Dasa, is this Bir Krishna dasa the same fellow who lead the in house investigation into Lokanath Swami molestation of a 11 year girl some 20 years ago. If it is so, is it possible for you to compile all the posting involving that incident and send it to the Hillborough police dept. This is to let them know the kind of imposter they are dealing with.
Further, to strengthen and strongly convince them as to why this fellow Bir Krishna should be thrown in jail for a long time, you can overwhelm them by collecting all the data/information available on child/women abuse, torture, child sexual abuse/molestation, about other pedophilic child molesters in the movement (old and current) and the cover ups done by iskcon leaders and sending all of it to them. Maybe Puranjana Dasa can also assist by compiling all the necessary data and sending it to the Hillborough police. Its also open to anyone who could do likewise.
Hare Krsna.
Dear SG Prabhu, yes. One and the same Bir Krishna Dasa Goswami (BKG). If you have any information on his nefarious activities, please let me know (pratyatosa [at sign] gmail.com)
Ys, Ptd
About Bir Krishna, nothing more than what i read about him on the net which includes your website, Puruanjana’s and Sakshi
Gopal dasa. I
One way to get the police motivated is to tip off the local media. The largest newspaper in the Hillsborough, NC area is the Herald-Sun (http://www.heraldsun.com/). The Bruce Jacobs police investigation has been “leaked” to them, and is currently being investigated by reporter, Beth Velliquette (Direct line: 919-419-6632, bvelliquette [at sign] heraldsun.com). And she actually answers her recorded messages, even if it’s long distance.
Local radio and TV stations could also be contacted. Please use your imagination!
“Truth and justice always win out in the end.”
Pratyatosa Dasa, we together with other readers
with similar sentiments appreciate your goodself,
Puranjana Dasa/Pada, Sakshi Gopal Dasa/Bif
and others for exposing these Kali-Cela criminals
dressed in vaisnava clothing and their demonic
actvities and trying to get them locked up behind
bars. Hope there is more to come.
Thank you Pratyatosa Pr. for your work in this dark area of ISKCON’s sociopathy. We have taken up the work in India. Our contacts from India are working with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Motions have been made in India to revoke any visa application by Bir Krsna, should he seek refuge there. Customs/Immigration will also be notified in the event he attempts using a multiple entry visa. We have also requested a file be placed on the desk of Sri Agnivesh Swami, India’s representative for Indian children in the UN. Should ISKCON management attempt to defend Bir Krsna in India, the matter will escalate to legal proportions.
Welcome, Sakshi Gopal Prabhu. Please keep up the fantastic service that you are doing there in India.
Lord Sri Krishna has given us unlimited service, as we try to be His instruments in fulfilling His desire that truth and justice may ultimately prevail.
Please keep me posted. (pratyatosa [at sign] gmail.com)

Thank You, Pratyatosa Pr., All Glories to His Divine Grace.
We have a small but very potent brotherhood trying desperately to have a win in Bharatvarsh. If we succeed, there can be little doubt that the house of cards will come tumbling down exposing a platform to reform. Whatever collateral damage we may incur, is unpredictable at this stage. After several years of searching, no alternative route to recourse was found. So this is how it goes down.
Hopefully we can send you something positive, shortly. Keep an eye on your mailbox.
