It's official, Gauri das will be re-investigated by the ISKCON CPO. In response to rumours circulating around Iskcon UK, Tamohara prabhu from Iskcon CPO has confirmed that Bhaktivedanta Manor Temple President, Gauri das, will be re-investigated by the Iskcon Child Protection Office. Due to the...

In response to Garuda das Jr's article, "Peace of Mind", May I comment, apparently if we quantify whatever "revelation" we say with the words "Srila Prabhupada told me this in a dream", the reader is expected to accept the "revelation" as Gospel. So much for Guru, sadhu and sastra.

I read with interest the recent article re: Gauri das, and abuse within the gurukula system.

However, Gauri das was investigated by a GBC committee.
