A) My name is spelled wrong B) My age is wrong C) Describing me as lanky is wholly inaccurate D) I do not have a live in girlfriend, I am engaged to be married E) I was quoted as saying "I'm not really religious". However, she neglected to complete the quote-that I thought religiousness has nothing to do with Krsna consciousness F) She describes my house as sparsely furnished, however, any devotee who has been to my house would know that is false-I have too much furniture. G) Albeit she claims that I have deities, I have no dieties-only pictures. I was interviewed for over four hours (I have the tapes), by the reporter and said many good things about KC. I said that I was satisfied with the Office of Child Protection under the leadership of Dhira Govinda Prabhu, and Children of Krishna under the leadership of Anuttama Prabhu. I told her that the situation is much better than when I was attending gurukula. I told her many other positive things. The only criticism I had about the way the leaders are handling things was that I thought that they should have been more expedient with Danudhara's case-that they should have started the investigation years before they did. And that he does not deserve the respect given to a sanyasi that he now enjoys. But other than that, I told the reporter about the positive things the leaders are doing to improve the situation of the devotees who were abused under their watch.
