Rebuttal to Anuttama's Statement
We have compiled a rebuttal to Anuttama Dasa’s email sent to the New Vrindaban Congregation & Donors.
Objective of the e-mail: The whole objective of this email is to demonize Venkat, project him as a weak individual who committed suicide despite being given all the support by GBC (which apparently is NOT the truth)
Objective 2 : Glorify Jaya Krsna Das as a great saint and a savior of New Vrindaban. The repeated theme seems to be “Jaya Krsna Das” is some kind of saintly angel.
The failed Plot: Since Jaya Krsna Das, Anuradha Dasi, Gopisa Das and Malati Devi Dasi mentally and emotionally tortured and forced Venkat to commit suicide, Anuttama is doing a wonderful coverup job. Well Done Anuttama. Kudos for failed coverup job...the Yamadutas are awaiting at doorsteps of Hell to take care of you !
Anuttama’s is just a puppet for Anuradha and Jaya Krsna Das. (who wants to save his New Vrindaban presidentship throne to rule over all temples in North America with his psychotic wife).
Here are some Hard Hitting points: (Original letter by Mr. Tamma is below)
The biggest loophole in this email is that “Why was the public misinformed that Venakata drowned when in-fact he committed suicide? “ --- Why was the suicide angle not even looked into or ignored when the first reports came out to mislead the public? when so much is being revealed in Anuttama's letter. If New Vrindaban Management was telling the whole truth then why did Anuradha Dasi – the admin of New Vrinaban delete comments from the New Vrindaban facebook page. This is where the mystery thickens, and a series of half truths and cover up is rolled out to the public like this letter by Anuttama Das.
Anuttama's Point 1: The main point of the letter is “We found his suicide note and it glorifies “Jaya Krsna”…
Counterpoint 1 : If Venkat had so much faith in Jaya Krsna then why would he ever commit suicide in such a brutal manner ? .. The point is that he had “Lost Complete faith” in Jaya Krsna & the management of New Vrindaban. Venkat knew Jaya Krsna was out to get him (like he did to many many devotees in New Vrindaban), brutally kicked him out of New Vrindaban Community. The details of the meeting that took place where Venkat was time and again humiliated by Anuradha, jaya Krsna, Malati and Gopish are hidden in this email. The headof department in New Vrindaban temple were told clearly that Venkat was removed from his position, temple and even the community.
Anuttama's Point 2 : Malati connected with lawyer, He was reported to the police, and then counseling was arranged with Sukhavaha.
Counterpoint 2: If Malati had already spoken and tried counseling Venkat then why did he commit suicide? That means he was NOT counseled, he was threatened. Also there is a lady appointed by the temple management to take care of the devotees as devotee care in-charge but she was not informed about this incident at all. She called Jay Krishna's bluff at the meeting. Sukhavaha dasi is another stooge in hands of these people and thus she is brought in the letter as saving grace. She herself needs more counseling than anyone else.
Conclusion : The whole point that he was counseled seems to be a whitewash to hide the fact that Anuradha and Jaya Krsna simply threatened & mentally tortured Venkat with dire consequences if he did not leave New Vrindaban. If there was real counseling then he wouldn’t commit suicide.
Anuttamas Point 3 : ISKCON takes child protection and abuse seriously .
Counterpoint 3 : This point is to hide the fact that there has been selective reporting of the cases. Ever since Anuradha has “married” Jaya Krsna and become the defacto president (controlling Jaya Krsna from behind) of New Vrindaban there has been selective reporting of cases. EG: There was a cook by name Brihat Kirtan and he had an sexual affair with Prema Rani (right in the temples women's ashram), but Brihat just surrendered to Anuradha and he was protected. No reporting was done. There was another South African devotee named Jamuna Jivan and he had sexually harassed another girl Nataliya and the temple kicked out the girl without any fault and protected pervert Jamuna Jivan until the girl filed case against them. Similarly there were many such sexual abuses which were suppressed. However Venkat was on the Anuradha's radar to be kicked out as he was famous (more than Jaya Krishna, that was his fault) and knew a lot about financial misappropriation of funds as Venkat's wife worked as the chief accountant. So he was reported. New Vrindaban's employee Shyamarasika informed some congregation members that Jaya Krishna could have easily handled the issue and saved, however both Jaya Krsna and his wife chose to escalate the issue and pressured Venkat so much that he was pushed to suicide. Shyamrasika's husband Nikunjras Das is another stoog of Jaykrishna who was promoted as head of pilgrim department / money making department of New Vrindaban.
Anuttamas Point 4 : Venkata was informed that his services would be restricted.
Counterpoint point 4: New Vrindaban's own HR has confirmed (our sources inform) that Venkat was terminated from his services and asked to leave New Vrindaban leaving his wife behind. He was even forced to write the letter saying that he “wanted jaya Krsna to take care of his wife”. Some New Vrindaban employees (our sources) contacted some congregation members that they were trying to find Venkat a new job. (Why were they trying to find a new job if he was not FIRED?). The management conveniently forgot that the word was already out. The employees are scared and feel threatened to speak out because they have been warned of dire consequences that their green cards would be taken away and they will be deported back to their country if they spoken against the temple management.
Anuttama's Point 5 : Jaya Krsna went to Venkat's apartment to bring him to the counseling session.
Counterpoint 5: New Vrindaban employees (close to Venkat) called several congregation members to inform that Venkat did not have a job or a place to sleep. He spent several nights at the Palace of Gold. He was being kicked out every night by his “ruthless” wife. His wife who also wanted to get rid of him after her “green card” and a failed marriage colluded with Anuradha and Malati to frustrate Venkat to the core. Venkat used to sleep at the palace or any other place for the past one week. Jaya Krsna knew this very well and encouraged Venkat's wife (Laura) Madhava Kanti to kick him out of the house so that he can be eventually thrown out of New Vrindaban. The managements plan was to humiliate him and kick him out so that he finds no support with the people among whom he was very famous, however he committed suicide putting their plans in jeopardy. Jaya Krsna had no plan for plan B. Usually when Jaya Krsna and Anuradha kick out someone threatening them they have a plan of mass mailing and misinforming people, humiliating and torturing them. Venkat knew this so he committed suicide when he saw his wife and Jaya Krsna both colluded to betray him. Venkat Felt Cheated !
Anuttama's Point 6: Venkat's final rites were handled by Jaya Krsna Das
Counterpoint 6: After doing what they did to him only a heartless and ruthless individual can do what Jaya Krsna das and Anuradha conspired to do. A whole show was put up just to evoke false emotions about Jaya Krsna and wash away what they did. If they ever cared for him they would have not pushed him to commit suicide. If Venkat ever had faith in either Jaya Krsna, Anuradha or even his wife he would not have committed suicide. This just highlights the fact that Jaya Krishna, Anuradha and Venkat's wife had all colluded to push him to the core - the point of suicide.
Anuttama's Point 7: There was police report filed and suicide note found
Counterpoint 7: This police report was never mentioned in any of the previous posts. Only a rosy picture was presented to show how much he loved only "jaya Krsna" so much so that he committed suicide. We demand that this report and the suicide note be made public. Why was the public not informed of the police report in any of the previous posts ????
Another big story hidden from the public is that the girl and the parents who e-mailed New Vrindaban about the so called sexual complaint were present at Venkat's funeral. Several employees and people who knew the family and the background of the whole story were shocked to see them at the funeral. The BIG question is that why were they present at the funeral if they were the same people who complained about Venkat?
Conclusion : The earlier emails of New Vrindaban informed that Venkat loved his wife and Jaya Krishna, which is a colossal lie. If he really loved then why did he ever commit suicide. Why would a wife ever tell in public that my husband had personal problems and he could not hold himself anymore. There are so many inconsistencies in this story simply because the objective is to protect Jaya Krsna and Anuradha.
What is being hidden a colossal failure of Jaya Krsna to bring any spiritual energy into New Vrindaban Community. Colluding with Anuradha - who specializes in invoking dark energies and practicing voodoo & black magic even-after being initiated into Krishna Consciousness and Gopish Das - a conman who cheated and continues to cheat New Vrindaban on various occasions by spending Indian donor's hard earned money to threaten employees with deportation etc and treat them cheaply and throw them out on road conveniently. Since Jay Krishna has taken over New Vrindaban, he has kicked-out or thrown out more than 100+ devotees who were mainly from Indian origin. They were successful so far because no one committed suicide however this time their plan backfired.
Anuradha and Jaya Krsna's plan is always to humiliate devotees and then use their supporters among the ISKCON New Vrindaban board and some New Vrindaban residents to rant against those devotee employees, malign their character and simply deflect everyone’s attention from their colossal spiritual failures which is evident in this whole suicide episode and the pathetic way it continues to be handled and gets covered-up.
The accusation was made via email? No CPO investigation was conducted yet they acted quickly and attempted to get help for Venkata? Reporting him to the authorities before anything was determined? That's all it takes? An email, not even a phone call. Yet more than 3k people have signed that petition looking for answers and nothing has been done.
ReplyDeleteTarnishing his name after causing it all. The true IskCON.
Isn't it a sin to commit SUICIDE in ISKON? Why would a Devotee do it knowing that suicide is not the way to Krsna?
