West 57th: Hare Krishna Segment (1987)
Hidden Until Recently: CBS’s 1987 “West 57th” TV Segment about Sulocana’s Murder
Who has ever seen this TV interview?
CBS correspondent Jane Wallace reports on the murder of Hare Krishna devotee, Sulochana Das (Steven Bryant). She interviews a few Hare Krishna devotees from New Vrindaban, West Virginia, USA, including Kirtanananda Swami (Keith Ham), Tirtha das (Thomas Drescher), Swarupa Das (Steve Hebel), and Mallika Dasi.
Dear Learned Readers,
Please pay attention what Bhaktipad says at the end of his conversation at 13.45 seconds onward of this Video Interview which reveals his mindset for getting his Name, Fame and Status which he admits to seem enjoy his publicity simply for sense gratification at any cost.
What a shame. What a First Class Cheater cheats those wish to get Cheated ?
Thanks for sharing the Video, Web Master.
Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I would humbly suggest not referring to this cheating criminal as ‘Bhaktipad’. More appropriate would be the ‘Hamster’ (pun intended)! There is also a thing called a ‘Hamster Wheel’ which is an exercise device for rodents.
When a Wise man reads ” Bhaktipada” one thinks of a being devoted simply to the Devotion in the service of the Lord free from any sort of material Prathistha ( Name, Fame and Status ) etc.
But in this case, Bogus Bhaktipad becomes BHOGI as per his activities.
So giving any name based on his activities refers to what he is, where he is going, why he is doing and when it ends, it determines his real motive of who he is that can be known by whatever way one wants to know or address him makes no difference or does it ?
Balaram Prabhu, your thoughtful contribution is always appreciated.
Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
