I
am the girl that Lokanatha touched inappropriately.
It did NOT just happen one time in the living room, on the sofa, but rather
throughout the week that he stayed he touched me various times inappropriately.
I am surprised now (at age 32) that that NASTY, VILE PEDOPHILE did not try to
rape me.
He
took my innocent father's words of "she is growing up here in America,
why don't you teach her some more Indian culture" and turned into his way of
taking advantage of me. He called me various times through out that week (it was
Easter vacation so I had off), and it was hot, so I was wearing shorts. I was 11
and 1/2 years of age. I sat down next to him after he insisted many times, and
he decided he would teach me how to play the harmonium. He several times, rubbed
his hand up and down my leg, inner leg, and out, as I was seated there next to
him and the harmonium. I asked him "what are you doing?" to which he replied
"nothing, just concentrate on the harmonium." I cannot TELL YOU HOW HORRIFIED
AND DIRTY I FELT inside.
Through
out the days, he then once woke me up singing "jeeva jago, nidra chadi uttha
jeeva" and when I got up ( I was wearing shorts), he patted me on my butt. I ran
into my mother's room, and into her walk in closet and hid, and he came in after
me. He pulled me out, saying "why are you hiding" and again touched me on my
butt, held my hands and put his arms around me.
Again
he called me for harmonium lessons, and then when he touched me inappropriateley
AGAIN on my leg, I got up and ran into the kitchen and went to my mother who was
cooking prasadam for this ASS. I went to my friend Sangeeta's home later that
day to play, and I told her he disgusts me, I don't like him, and I don't like
the way he touches me. He makes me feel so dirty. She didn't know how to react,
at age 8, but she said just tell your mother.
The
next day, he called me in the living room, and asked me to bring the Krsna book
and read it to him. He had me sit RIGHT NEXT TO HIM, leaving no space between
us. He PLACED HIS HANDS ON MY CROTCH, NOT ON MY LAP, and said I am keeping the book from touching you there, so just keep
reading. He kept his hand there, and any time my mother would walk by the
room,he would QUICKLY REMOVE HIS HAND AND PLACE IT ABOVE MY HEAD (around me). He
did this several times throughout the course of an hour, and after that sick
feeling inside me became the most prominent thing for me, I told him I was
tired, and I left the room.
The
day after that, some of his bogus followers were there at our house, and when I
came inside from playing with my friend (having a dirty feeling inside me the
whole time), the ASS had a nerve to call me several times to sit next to HIM in
front of everybody. I told him NO!, and ran away.
Thank
GOODNESS the nasty pedophile left the day after, and when my dad suggested I
touch his most UNHOLY DISGUSTING FEET I SAID NO! I will not. I told my mother
about everything the night before, and she was shocked, disgusted and appaulled
at everything.
What
could a defenseless 11 year old child do?
Just say no, and tell her mother. There was no legal actions that I knew of at
the time that I could take. If I had known how to kick that ASS in his groins to
teach him a good lesson, I would have. But I didn't know at the time what to
do.
Yes,
that silly investigation happened by Yashoda and she just followed me
around the house, asking me where this and that happened, and how this and that
happened.
We WERE PROMISED THAT LOKANATHA would be punished. He was NOT.
His
stupid misled followers still blindly followed him, and accused me of
lying.
I
will never forget what I have been through..
Till this day, Ravindra Swarupa, the head of our nearest temple, acts
like nothing happened, and was nonchallant about the whole thing. He has
always had a cold, DISRESPECTFUL approach towards our family. We trusted
him, and he nor the GBC (garbage committee) never followed through. BUT
THAT IS OK, THE LAW OF KARMA AND LORD SHRI KRISHNA WILL. That is who THEY
will have to answer to ultimately.
PLEASE
POST THIS TO YOUR WEBSITE. I have remained quiet long enough. I will not be
quiet any longer.
Thank you,
Satya
Now here below, we post the 'official GBC investigation'
and typical modus operandi exercised in the summation of all such
allegations leveled at its membership.

RE: Copy of message to GBC
conference
“Dear GBC members, It is my duty to inform you of the actions of a special
GBC subcommittee that dealt with a confidential investigation of Lokanatha
Maharaja. The members of the subcommittee are: myself, Badrinarayana Prabhu,
Mukunda Maharaja, Sridara Swami, Virabahu Prabhu, and Ravindra Swarupa
Prabhhu.
It is important that you be aware of the decisions and findings of the
committee so that you can properly deal with rumors that are circulating.
Please understand that those matters are strictly confidential. I am
requesting each GBC member to not show this message to anyone else. Also please
erase this message after reading it.
Madhusevita Prabhu asked me to add the following: “If a GBC member is
detected as having printed or disseminated this report in an unadvised manner he
may be subject to censure by the Ex Comm.”
Here are the details:
“In 1990 while staying at the house of a family for a few days Lokanath Swami
(Swami x) touched a young pre-adolesent girl in an inappropriate way by putting
his hand on her lap. He was sitting next to her on a couch in a families living
room, both were holding the Krishna Book in their hands, the hand holding the
book (the back of the hand) rested on her lap as he read the Krishna Book. The
hand did not move.
In 1993 when the GBC chairman became aware of the incident and appointed a
committee to deal with the issue, Swami x was also told to stop all
initiations.
The committee conducted a thorough investigation, which included bringing a
team of professional experts in New York and involving Mother Yasoda. The cost
of the experts exceeded $2,500 for a four day intensive assessment. The experts
made an in depth examination Swami x after which they concluded that this
unfortunate incident had occurred because of the Swami x’s complete lack of
prior experience on the matter of dealing with women. Having learned his lesson
(the need to follow the proper social conduct for a sannyasi) they were
confident that this incident would not reoccur. They also stated that he had the
proper nature of a spiritual leader and should be allowed to continue in this
role within our society.
An apology was made by letter and in person to the girl and the family. They
were satisfied. (Comment: No Sir! As the recently
posted letter above shows...They were not!)
The GBC committee concluded that this deviation from the acceptable conduct
had been accidental. So in 1996 after Gour Purnima, he was allowed to begin
accepting disciples again.”
It was concluded this year in Mayapura that all prospective disciples of
Swami x would be given the history of the above.
