I was amazed to read on VNN the GHQ conference. I'm not going to write a big letter full of Srila Prabhupada's quotes and philosophical explanations. I'm just going to ask a few questions to all the pro-vedic men and leaders of ISKCON: Where have you been during the child abused period? Did you stand and fight to protect the devotees' children (who were abused by leaders of ISKCON) like real vedic leaders? Where have you been when most of the gurus and leaders send girls (nicely dressed with make-up) all day long on parking lots and airports, risking their life and virtue, collecting so much money for the big crazy expenditures of the "star leaders"? Where have you been when some men took sannyasa at 30 years old giving up devotee wives and children in distress? Do you call this dharma and vedic culture? I like to mention also, it is common knowledge, that all the atrocities in ISKCON have been perpetrated by males. Come on! Where are the vedic men and leaders? Did you read the Mahabharata? I will just tell you something: be Arjuna and we'll be Draupadi! Syamasundari dasi from France: Married since 15 years, taking care of husband and children, cooking, cleaning, helping my husband in business, taking care of a monthly French magazine for devotees children, taking care of New Mayapura guest house, but ...sorry, Ameyatma dasa, "no time to churn butter".
