“I apologize... can Ravi?”

Hare Krishna. My name is Titiksa devi dasi. I am the author of “Bhusaya is right, Urmila is wrong.” I have just finished reading the letter from Ravi that you have posted.

I am well aware that he as well as everyone else in Detroit temple knows who I am. I was very honest and forthcoming in my description of myself and my family, because unlike some of those devotees that I write about, I am honest about my life. After all, Krsna sees everything.

I would like to offer the apology that Ravi has requested. I agree that it was wrong to use the words “shacking up” in regards to his wife and Pratyatosha. I do not however apologize for “slandering” his wife’s reputation. Not any more than he/they apologize for slandering the brahmacari that they accused (falsely, in my opinion) of “sexual abuse.” I cannot be responsible for his wife’s reputation. Only for my actions. I am apologizing for speaking about his wife in such an offensive way. Can Ravi and his wife also please apologize for the many disturbances that MY children have had to suffer throughout the past few months, by being woken up in the middle of the night, by Ravi’s children who are “stressed out?”

It no longer matters to me if you attach my name to this article, as I have been harrassed since my last letter.
