Response to "a Kuli"
By Ravindra Svarupa dasa

An anonymous letter ("a Kuli") was sent to me, containing several allegations. My responses are inserted below:

> It is not a question of how the money is spent.
> Why are the men who knew the abuse was going on still in the position of
> Guru and GBC?

> They saw it day by day, they had it happen in the Temple while they weree
> in the next room. It happened to their own children and did nothing.

> The office of child abuse has been instructed to not go after these men or
> they will lose all the funds.

The office of child abuse has not been instructed to not go after anyone. I’ve checked this story out before, and found it not true. If there is any reliable testimony to the contrary, let me know, and I will follow up on it.

> Jan 1985 a mother reported to Ravindra, Satsvarupa, and Jagadish that two

I have no recollection of any mother reporting to me in 1985 that "two Gurus were abusing the boys in Vrindavan." Nor did I "pass a resolution Feb. 1985." I was not elected to the GBC until Feb. 1987. Please send me a copy of "the letter."

> 3 million to Haricash to cover up the things he knows, ex gurus, GBC, TPs,
> etc., steal money and not prosecuted because of the things they know.

This is news to me. Please send your evidence.

> This is devotional service?
> I don’t think so.

No, of course not.
On the other hand, is it the truth?
I don’t think so.

But I’ll check it out, if you give me something tangible to go on.

Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada,
