Hari Bol Prabhu,
To Puranjana Prabhu and to all those who have reached out and encouraged me with your support:
I thank you humbly, and whole-heartedly. It is not easy to come out alone and speak about such things, especially in the same community which I grew up in. However, I know I am supported in many ways. I have Lord Shri Krsna on my side, not only in His own Form, but, also in the Form of Truth.
I also have actual facts, the actual investigation, to support me. I have the support of strong, protective God brothers and God sisters, and, most importantly, I have great devotees and true leaders, such as Puranjan Prabhu and his medium of this powerful website, which SHOUTS OUT THE TRUTH on my side.
These miscreants cannot hide any longer. It is so sad what they have done to Srila Prabhupada’s movement, to his legacy, and to what he endeavored for years to create.
It truly is like the Mahabharata, and Bhishma Pitama has passed away, leaving squabbling petty fools to fight stupidly, and to help defend his legacy and the TRUTH, fighting back are strong, stalwart, brave beings such as those who have voiced themselves against the wrong-doings of such people such as Joker Natha, and various other demoniac beings in this movement.
I thank you, Puranjana Prabhu, for your efforts to protect the innocent. I thank all of those who have extended their support to me. As your younger God sister, it is a blessing to have you and your support.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Jaya Narsingadev!
Hari Bol,
Satya

Dear PADA,
Thank you for your exposure to the truth, and for posting the DEFENSE of THE TRUTH.
I wanted to reply back to July 13th, comment by SG: I never let it go, and I never EVER thought it was right or OK. Even at age 11 I knew it was wrong, it felt wrong from the core of my being, and that is why I told my mother, my sister and brother, my family. I never intended that this would get stretched out. My brother in law even tried to bring this out into the open, and he and my sister were chastised for this. I was very young, and I took the words of my brother to “let the Law of Karma and Lord Krishna take care of this.” By the time the GBC came around I was 15.
The whole situation felt so dirty and wrong, and as an adolescent, I took the advice of my elders. At that time, though it felt wrong, I didn’t fight it aggressively, and my family wanted to take the “humble route.” Though I appreciate their trying to be humble, there is a TIME AND PLACE TO BE HUMBLE AND THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.
At age 32, I can NOW SEE THAT. And I have quietly sat back, and watched the nonsense that has been going on in the movement. I saw Lokanatha/Joker natha at the NYC and Gita Nagari Rathayatra. I wanted to SPIT IN HIS FACE. That ass had the allowance to give lecture, to sing, and to sit on the cart and do arati to Lord Jagganatha.
I hated him when I had to see him in public. And to see that this was his punishment? Being given articles to write in BTG, being given accolades as a guru, getting all the priveledges of a sannyasi– this was what his punishment was??
OUR SILENCE WAS OUR MISTAKE — OUR SILENCE WAS WHAT ALLOWED HIM TO SLIDE BACK into NORMALCY, GOING UNNOTICED FOR HIS CRIMES that are DUE FOR PUNISHMENT.
HOW DARE HE. AND HOW DARE THE GBC. THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO PAY.
The SILENCE has been broken, and after seeing all this nonsense, no more silence. It has been a LONG TIME COMING for the TRUTH to BE TOLD and SPOKEN.
Satya

Hare Krishna. Respects. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
No doubt it is worth a try to have as many as possible contact, encourage and assist Satya devi dasi to start legal proceedings against the abuser. The more we let rascal molesters be worshiped as good as “God”, the more offense we are making to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krishna.
But we must not only encourage mother Satya, but we must offer any support she needs, since being a lady, we should make sure she has actual practical support in addition to moral support, so she may be and feel totally protected in the course of of her exposure of this rascal abuser. I would be honored to be part of a support committee for her to go forth with pressing charges. Just let me know.
We can not allow that such low class men be promoted and worshiped as good as “Krishna gurus.” The lack of demand for accountability from concerned devotees, is simply allowing for more criminality within and more horrible reputation to Krishna Caitanya’s movement. Bhaktivinod Thakur would want that such a rascal be placed in jail, and he would risk his own life and the life of his whole family, to punish such a rascal as we know he did with the “yogi’ that was seducing the wives of his followers. “As good as Krishna guru” while molesting an 11 year old child under the nose of all and then have other similar rascals protect such an offender is the lowest of the low and if we do not do something about it so they may learn, is also just as low.
So mother Satya, please be strong, intelligent and do the needful. Talk to your family and any other person that is may be willing to support you, and press charges. You can count with my moral, strategic and other practical support. Pressing charges would be a most good service to Srila Prabhupoada and Lord Krishna. So please lets try to do it.
Anyone that may want to contact me about this, you may call me at., 718-879-0846. Lets punish the “Gods” or risk the Lord will punish us!
Sincerely, Mahatma dasa

July 14, 2010 comment by Tapana Misra das
I have read this thread including the most vile and disgusting suggestions for devotees to “suck on my linga”. So for all of the macho keyboard commandos that think this is appropriate behavior let me suggest that it is not. But to the point: such activities and allegations described by Satya devi that were committed by this rascal are horrible crimes, not just fodder for email addicts. So, has this been reported to “the authorities” where these things occurred? I am outraged that it is a discussion about who is “mas macho” rather than how to report these allegations to the police. As long as women are dependent on such wishy-washy reaction they will never be protected.
So I am again asking: has this been reported to “the authorities”? If not, this is a public record and the inaction of others to shirk their responsibility by failing to report this is tantamount to supporting it. If responses to my questions are inadequate then I will report it myself—the victims need REAL support and not just bluster and macho talk.

Thank you Tapana Misra, what a deplorable digression we have been engaged in!
To my limited knowledge this is a 20 yr old crime that came to light in the mid to late nineties. That this girl is just now writing about herself. Good question if it was reported by the parents or others in the know at the time to interested authorities.
As for arm chair quarter backing, what else is there to do about such a thing now? From our computers a 1000 miles from the scene of the crime 20 yrs later? NOTHING! Except verbally expel the encrustations sahajism encapsulating ISKCON and chocking the life out of it, from the inside out by our words!
For get about it! (IS_A_CON) leave it to the demons that support child molestation. You will not even pry it from their cold dead hands. Vote with feet and leave it! Migrate to an agreeable location together with other devotees of the same ilk and start a community. Get away from the IS_A_CON poison. ISKCON is in the vani, IS_A_CON does not follow since 1970.
Statement found on WIKI concerning Heinous crimes. This is from Wiki…this is an exclusion from limitation to prosecution over time.
Crimes that are considered exceptionally heinous by society have no statute of limitations. As a rule, murder (especially capital murder or first degree murder) has no statute of limitations. Rape, especially sexual abuse of minors, will often fall under this category as well as certain instances of arson and robbery. In many jurisdictions, crimes involving child pornography and certain violent crimes involving drugs or drug dealing may also have no statute of limitations.
Hare Krsn, RCB

Dear Puranjana Prabhu, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Tapana Misra Prabhu is correct. Legal action should be taken. I don’t think that there is any statute of limitations on a child being sexually molested, so Mother Satya Prabhu should be encouraged to file a police report and to insist on pressing charges. Then the local district attorney’s office will decide on whether or not to let the case proceed. It might be worth a try.
Your servant, Pratyatosa Dasa

By the way, after Satya devi and family made their original “toned down” and “more humble” complaint to Iskcon officials against Lokanatha, there was some a faux investigation and Lokanath got a slap on the wrist. It was something along the lines of not being allowed to give lecture or kirtana in Iskcon temples for a short period of time.
Lokanatha at the time rejected the accusation, and maintained his innocence, never apologizing or repenting.
Enter Ghanashyama das AKA “Bhakti Tirtha Swami”.
After BTS suffered his bout with cancer in reaction for condemning at least 2 devotees to deathp plus accepting years of unwarrented worship on his feet, he was on his death bed.
BTS decided to unilaterally “forgive and forget” that Lokanatha had been found guilty by his peers of wrongdoing with a young girl. Why? Because he enjoyed Lokanatha’s singing voice. So he called for him to come to give kirtana, in the midst of the congregation.
And as we now read, he is good as gold with the Con artists, receiving “Sanyassi priveleges” as reported by Satya devi.
The most obnoxious place in the universe comes to mind. I figure BTS is warming it up for him.

Victim is being re-victimized Update
Dear prabhus, this Satya devi being molested by Lokanatha swami issue is getting lots of people fired up, tripled the web hits on my blog, I’m getting many good replies from all over the place, its a disaster for these “reformed gurus” to have the story come out that one of their biggest cheifs — Lokanatha, he is a molester of the young girl sector. Just when they were trying to put out the fire, it ignites again. ys pd
……. As for the molesting issue, I already got a few replies from the “GBC guru” sector, how did your guess, they are saying Satya is a liar. How can an 11 year old child come up with such a story of intimate touching by an adult male? An 11 years old child in a pakka Hindu family have no ideas about these things. Period. She simply could not have made all this up at the tender age of 11. What happened is that her childhood was destroyed by attacks from these bogus gurus, and now they are attacking her AGAIN, saying she made it all up! 11 years old children simply cannot make this stuff up, its adult x-rated material.
The GBC gurus covered this up and now they or their clones are “re-victimizing the victim” by orchestrated name caling and discrediting. Yes, these particular false gurus are causing this molesting problem, and re-victimizing problem. Yes, it has everything to do with these false gurus, they all knew Lokanatha was involved and they all covered for him. ys pd

Find it hard to believe that this man (lokanatha) would do such a thing. But, there you have it. After years of spiritual pratice (suspect) this man lokanatha had the urge to molest a 13 year old child by putting his hand on her lap and her private part. Makes one wonder what kind of spiritual pratice this man lokanatha was practicing all this years. And you have a whole barrel of them (sanyasis, gurus ) in Iskcon. And an equally inept moronic idiot ( bir krishna ) a goswami to boot together with his investigation commitee claims that this lokanatha had no idea who a woman and what a woman’s genital is. “No prior experience on the matter dealing with women”, they say . What was lokanath doing all this while. Living in a remote cave away from the living ? Such stupidity. And with such inadequate intelligence they claim that they are experts and did an indept examination on the man. Staya Dasi has better intelligence. She has rightfully said that these people are garbage commmitee [ GBC ].
Now my question to the parents of Satya Dasi. This man lokanatha have sexually molested your child. Why did you accept their apology. Is this sexual abuse to your child by this man a light matter so cheap that you accepted their apology. Why did you not the parents make a police report. Can it still be done ?
THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. DON’T LET THEM GO FREE.
Hare Krsna.

Over to you dear Satya Devi mataji. Do you want to proceed
to file a police report. If you are emotionally and mentally
up to it and able to go through the court ordeal ( should the
case be accepted for trial ), then you should do it to
incarcerate this pedofile sex fiend parasite to a 6’x 8′ space.
He can chant his Maha Mantra in isolation. A precedent is then set.
Let’s see how many more of this so called devotees want to hide
behind Krsna’s philosophy and do nonsence. Maybe you may want to
discuss further with your family, relatives, devotees and friends
around you for support before deciding.
Hare Krsna
Justice costs money these days ji.If we could all get together and chip in and pay for this court case that would be such a great service to Srila Prabhupada.Puranjana prabhu could you organize a fund raiser for this?
If we get everyone to give whatever they can until we can get the full amount it would be so great.
There would be no way out for that scumbag then.
I understand that mother Satya may also feel that it will be dangerous for her to jeopardize the future marriage if she goes ahead with this case.
But there are a lot of men that would be understanding since it is such an important case.
I bet there would be some idiots coming to the molester in prison to perform “vyasa puja” .Disgusting!!!
Mother Satya thank you for being so brave and honest.You inspire me.
I will be the first one to come and take a dump at this unrepentant molester’s grave.
Excellent comments by above vaisnavas on this rascal, fool, and ‘kiddy fiddler’ Lokanatha. He seems to have a penchant for crazy hats! When I lived in New Zealand in the late 90s he came for a visit and on his departure to the airport someone gave him this crazy white synthetic baseball type hat, which had a small solar panel on the top and a fan (with small dynamo) cut into the visor!….. yes, the sort of hat that a retard would wear!, but he was over-the-moon wearing this dumb-arse hat in the airport! I couldn’t help but laugh to
myself ”Oh! what a fool he looks in this silly hat, only a ”slow” would wear!”
So from village bumpkin to ‘village idiot’, add to that molesting innocent little girls!…..what a complete shame and embarrassment to be posing as some fake ‘guru’…….shame, shame, shame!
