THE DARK SIDE OF ISKCON HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA
Eyewitness Testimony by Nanda Gopal (Nicholas deVilder)
My name is Nanda Gopal (Nicholas deVilder) and I joined the ISKCON Temple when I was 16 in 1972, in Surrey Hills, Buckingham Street. Jai Dharma was the Temple President, a Dutch devotee, Radha Gopinath, Prabhupad’s Deities were under his care, and it was running very beautifully. We had a farm as well. I was the Pajari for the Deities. Under Jai Dhama, everything was magnificent until Bhavananda came in and he somehow sold that farm. I got taken away onto Ramai’s bus and we had to buy the Kings Cross Temple for Bhavananda, because that’s where the homosexual hangouts were, so we all had to sell candles.
So, they would do marathons that would go all night and they would make a quota, generally $500 a day, 6 days a week, in the city. There were huge candle boxes, styrofoam that squeaked like hell, 12 incredibly delicate candles and breaking and dropping wax everywhere. Big candles that had just been carved and were more fragile than glass. So, we had the box on our knee and balancing the box and at the same time undoing the candles. (The whole idea of doing these candles, I just want you to grasp, please just try and look at what it means to be selling candles 24 hours a day, for years and years and years. You have no idea. Talk about child abuse – you are not even scratching this one).
It was terrifying going into a bank, you’d have to get your wig straight and the whole trauma of that, nobody really has a clue what we had to go through. Nobody is still living who went through what I went through. Gopinath refused and he was banned. Gopinath wanted to sell books. The thing is Bhavananda then kept all that money from all the candle sales for himself. He bought a red Jaguar, bought $60,000 Rolex watches and his activities proved that he had no concern for his disciples, and it paints the picture very clearly that he obviously did away with Prabhupad to get such a position here.
So, in 1995 there was a jewelry robbery in Kings Cross, under Bhavananda, Ramai was the Temple President, Chitahari was the national treasurer and secretary, Narishrara was the BBT Manager, Joti Moi was a marshall-artist they took along. It was Joti Moi who hit the night watchman on the head with a gun, and that was reported in the newspapers the next day – ‘men in pin-striped suits, and their wigs fell off in the scuffle.’
The only two witnesses were Sunartan and Gopinath, both dead, both found strangely dead, and neither of them had autopsies. They were the only ones who knew – they told me about this jewelry robbery in Sydney, and another friend of mine told me as well, she gave me the date.
Somehow Bhavananda destroyed Colo Farm, destroyed Spiritual Sky, put Jai Dharma on the street. The Deities went to Kings Cross, we had to buy that place for him because he wanted to be with other homosexuals in Kings Cross. So, we had to do horrific marathons that went all night to pay for that.
I joined the exact day Bala did, so I was watching him very closely and he got involved with Bhavananda, he became Bhavananda’s personal servant and no doubt his kick-around and Bala won’t admit to that yet, but that’s the proof that we have that Bhavananda was lying from day one from wearing saffron and the idea that he is lying means that he can’t be trusted about whether or not he poisoned Prabhupad. He got Sulochana to massage him and he made him perform sex on him, and he had a reason to kill Sulochana as well. I’m not discarding that as well as he definitely had a reason to kill Aindra with a gas pipe, and in fact he was responsible because he was in charge of Mayapur and the last we heard the gas pipes were cut – so who did that?
Because he continued wearing saffron and appearing as a guru, Sulochana was about the blow the lid on all of that too, so that’s a direct link to Sulochana. The day before Solochana died, he declared he was going to destroy the gay saffron marfia. That’s in the Killing for Krishna book, and there’s been a video done as well by Henry Joliceur.
Aindra was about to release a book and his gas pipes were cut in Brindavan. Aindra was actually describing Bhavananda to the tee – flamboyant. I have a sanyasi in New Zealand as well who will prove, who has offered to vouch for me, that Bhavananda sent dacoits to kill Sridar Maharaj. And finally, another friend told me Naryan Maharaj on his death bed told him Prabhupad was poisoned.
So, Bhavananda was in charge of Prabhupad’s body at the last stage, and whether they got cadmium or not is neither here nor there, because this yogi that was working for the CIA had travelled to America with Adi Kesava Swami a year before this happened. He gave poison to Prabhupad that was for free and Bhavananda didn’t even check it out, and that’s his direct responsibility because he calls himself the body man. So, he any medicine he should offer to take first, so because of that I am holding him directly responsible because it has been claimed that this was another cause of Prabhupad’s poisoning, given by Sadhadanya Marahaj, another terrible figure.
Srila Govinda Marahaj told me he was smuggling alcohol into Myapur, while he was pretending to do Caturmasya, so that’s what he was doing, and constantly under the influence of alcohol and lying to Prabhupad. So, he was doing that in front of Prabhupad as well. Srila Govinda Marahaj told me this personally upon my initiation and it’s the only thing he ever said to me, so I’ve had to take a very close look at why he said it to me. When I realized that Bhavananda had sent dacoits to kill Srila Sridhar Maharaj, I understood that Srila Govinda Marahaj was encouraging me to pursue this. Andy Warhol is famous for eating babies and he did a film with Bhavananda called Chelsea Girls. This is where Tamal had to go and rescue him even after Bhavananda had become a so-called devotee.
So, we had to buy a farm in Mildura in Victoria for Bhavananda, and the first thing he did is rape the devotee’s son, who later burns that house down and then hangs himself. So Bhavananda is directly responsible. So, the thing is that Bhavananda lied about being a spiritual master as opposed to Srila Prabhupad’s order that just temple presidents can initiate on his behalf, as things were going on and Jai Dharma was fully qualified. So immediately Ramai was enlisted by Bhavananda by taking Sanyas, and the two of them just took over, and everyone was just bewildered. As it was going with temple presidents initiating, Bhavananda took it on himself to take that role of being a person’s spiritual master, which is a very, very heavy responsibility, and which no-one is qualified to do and certainly he isn’t. So that is different from just initiating and accepting, giving someone beads. It’s an entirely different thing. He was able to play with that to the fullest extent, and he did, with Amberish and selling Colo Farm and taking the Deities. He had the privilege now to take the Deities to where he wanted them in Kings Cross. We had to deck that place out, marble floors and it was just for him, his room. Then he sold it to Prataphana and it’s no longer a Temple – it became a t-shirt shop. We bought that, and spent many years paying for it. And the Deities got moved to an even more miserable funeral parlor over the bridge on the busiest intersection in Australia.
Gopinath got banned three times, first time for not selling candles, second time for some ridiculous thing, but the third time was when Ajita banned him at New Govardhan, and Ajita is totally unqualified to do that and it resulted in his death.
Ramai also caused the death of a young Bhakta – he was giving him the money through his motor home window and a truck came and cleaned him up and that was Ramai’s fault because he didn’t bother getting out of the drivers’ seat and had Bhakta Andy standing on the road. That was directly under his responsibility, directing Bhakta Andy to give him money through the window and he got killed. That got brushed aside as did the death of the woman who burned to death in a sari because devotees could not touch a woman, so her sari caught on fire and she just burned to death in their kitchen in Sydney.
Ajita was having this Govardhan Rathyatra Festival, and a heavy duty overhead electrical cable got caught under the spire and the cart couldn’t proceed. He ordered me to climb up the cart because I was more agile and the only one qualified. I climbed the silk canopy and pushed the electrical wire above the steeple. That is highly dangerous, and you can’t order someone to do that – that’s illegal and is just lack of duty of care.
Ajita and Ramai are totally in charge of Australia. The previous GBC, Prabhavishnu and the entire lot of them, including Aniruddha were caught by the federal police laundering money in Prabhupad’s accounts. So that includes the lot of them. Ajita is the national secretary, so the entire thing is corrupt, but no-one is game to address it. Bhakta, the communications minister, had a little shot at it after I insulted him. He wrote a wishy-washy article to Tim Lee but didn’t address the main point and agreed that the shift from books to Sankirtan paraphernalia was a good idea. This is just an example of the numb-skull mentality that has dominated the movement since the books were criminally displaced from Prabhupad’s alter, and everyone is still cowering in that disgrace, as all of their foundations are threatened by this one point.
The hideous way Ramai Swami capitalized on this vicious swoop of power in the movement, by endorsing stickers, genital-shaped massage moose for the women to have to sell and demonstrate by touching strange men on the street, then the atrocious candles where every temple became a candle factory. Then the paintings from Hong Kong, cheap and nasty, t-shirts and really the list goes on and on, and hasn’t stopped to this day. This is exemplified by Ajita taking advantage of the movement’s goodness in giving away free prashadam, and turning it into a frenzied, hectic truck ensemble selling highly over- priced disgraceful food throughout all the major festivals in Australia, as well as a string of low-class restaurants where he displays the jagganath logo as representing Prabhupad’s movement. So, Mukunda Marahaj bought himself a million dollar house on New Govardhan with the money George Harrison gave him. He was coerced into signing a letter by Ajita to have Gopinath banned. Mukunda’s only disciple is Krishna Kirtan, and it was just brough to my knowledge that he was involved with all of this and has managed to get himself a very expensive house out of it all.
I had an acute kidney failure because they didn’t give me any water in ISKON. Krishna Kirtan had a kidney problem and demanded his wife give him her kidney. This is the sort of mentality that these guys have. I asked him about this, and he just replied, “I just gave her a box of chocolates”.
Another thing happened to me on Govardhan on Krishna’s appearance day. I was slandered by the girlfriend of Yaso, who was the TP there once, and I was looking at five years jail for something that never happened, and no devotee would support me. After a year of terror and being beaten up in the forest by this woman’s thugs, I went to court and she didn’t even show. That was then used against me when I opened a temple at Byron and man spent a million dollars over it, and the same thing happened at Sri Govinda Dham, and it’s happened again at the farm Temple I’ve opened up here.
So, all in all, I can say that due to Jesus’ A Course in Miracles appearing at the slaughterhouse where I was opening a temple in Byron, and it’s in-depth overview of the ego, I can conclude without mistake that Bhavananda poisoned Prabhupad to get his position, and a similar poison has infiltrated through Ramai Swami, Tirtharaj, Ajita, Krisha Kirtan, and Aniruddha, who are all in the leading positions here in Australia, and being supported by Devamrita, who was a known conspirator in the Sulochana murder.
Another young bhakti, Bhakti Shannan, Ajita made him drive all the trucks and go to all the festivals. He got this nightmare catering program go. Ajita capatalised on this and got these monster trucks and he stole the money to get these trucks from the women’s Sangatan in Brisbane and he’s got these catering trucks, huge trucks, and they just drove into the temple any time. Shannan wrote one off and nearly killed himself, just fell asleep he was so tired. He got another Bhakti Craig doing it because these programs are nightmares, three-day festivals. I had to do one for him.
And, of course he doesn’t pay anyone because everyone thinks they’re doing devotional service, so he just collects all the money from fees, the horrible fees he charges at the festival and $15 for a plate and horrible people serving them up, people just eat scrounge up and displaying that as Prabhupad’s movement with smiley things everywhere, and pretending that it’s all prasadam, but he’s actually making a killing on it all.
So, he got busted for assault – he assaulted a devotee’s solicitor and his wife. He put a woman in charge, and he got fined by the BBC because he was having an affair with her. And he attacked a young devotee with the bobcat, with the grader, he just bailed him up and the police had to come and get him down.
Ajita always hated Gopinath, because Gopinath was his superior and secondly could see through Ajita completely, and Ajita hated that and because he was in a superior managerial position, he was able to ban Gopinath, for no reason other than he was scared of his money-making, because it was opposed to the Vanishram cow protection idea that Gopinath was standing behind.
Gopinath and Ajita were constantly at each other’s throats in a sense, because Gopinath was obviously the superior in the situation and Ajita could not stand it, as we see with these leaders, being the psychopaths and narcissists that they are, they can’t stand anyone being superior to them. You’ll see this is the thread, this is the idea that I am trying to portray. It’s the same with Ramai, it’s the same with Bhavananda. As soon as you get into a superior position, where there is no-one above you, well it’s like that, they have the run of the mill and that’s what they want.
It’s the total opposite to being a devotee; a devotee learns the hard way. We’re trying to lord it over the material energy here, and we have to learn the hard way. We’re actually antagonistic to the Lord here, and we have to learn to be humble to again accept our servitorship position. That is what ISKCON is meant for, but they have changed it. As soon as Prabhupad died, they were able to get away with murder.
Of course, Ramai was behind that decision to ban Gopinath, and Ramai was put in charge by Bhavananda and he was a compete loony, so the whole thing is up for correction, a big mighty correction.
This confirms it with Ajita when I was giving the Course away, I was so happy Jesus had given us A Course in Miracles to bolster Prabhupad’s teachings, but Ajita hated it, he said it was just speculation. So, I left and never went back. And the Rathiatra cart ran over his foot and he had two toes amputated, so there you go. So, I was waiting to hear the result of that, and it certainly came.
Jesus said in The Course – ‘It is impossible to see two worlds’. Bhavananda, obviously Tamal, Bhakti Caru, they are all homosexuals and so still in this world, and there is an intense battle going on in their minds, because they are pretending to be spiritual but not interested in the world, but they are totally engrossed in it, and the way the mind works they can only see one world. This is the vivid example and is why I am using this as an example to appreciate Jesus’ Course.
So, Bhavananda is directly responsible for a string of deaths. I have four right here, and I can pin Prabhupad’s death on him just due to negligence, and he’s admitting it himself. There was no-one else, he said “No, I was there 24, 20 hours a day”. He wouldn’t let anyone else near Prabhupad. That was Tamal and Bhavananda. This is why they are reaping the result of their fruit. They wouldn’t let anyone else come in. We saw Tamal and how he was treating everyone – he wouldn’t let anyone near Prabhupad. So, they are getting the result of that, they are now directly responsible for the poison that got in through this guy, Adi Kesava’s father who arranged poisons with the CIA. I mean that’s the back-up, but you know, you can put poisoning just due to wanting to take over the movement is definitely a possibility too.
So, my main thing is, as soon as Bhanvananda came to Kings Cross, I got the fortune to be able to witness him. I somehow got service in Kings Cross. Pratapana was selling t- shirts and jewelry, he gave my wife $20,000 to travel the world, so you know, they just messed it up completely. Narashrara got away with $30 million from the BBT’s money, by saying he lost it in the twin towers.
So, I got to witness Bhavananda in Kings Cross. He had no remorse about what he was doing – he was flaunting around the gay bars in a crimson cloak with ‘I am a Guru’ on his tee-shirt and walking up and down in front of the temple and going into the temple with cigarettes and things like that, with no care at all. You can see it in his videos as well – ‘Bhavananda on Broadway’ and ‘Bhavananda in Hollywood’. He was also living in the Temple we had to buy at North Sydney, which was a funeral parlor with a man who had had the operation to change his gender and was the head Pajari there, wearing a sari. It’s really so obvious, especially if you look at the recent Bombay and class videos and on top of that Prabhupad told us himself on his death bed that someone was poisoning him.
So, I’m going to say that I don’t even need to say that he personally poisoned Prabhupad with cadmium, but the voice when he says the word ‘Down’ in the Whispers’ Tape, I can tell that’s his voice, because I got Gayatri mantra from him, and I know his voice very well as I heard his lectures every day. So even sidestepping that because Mayasvara doesn’t want me to talk about the poisoning, I can say that just due to lack of responsibility, he let the medicine come in without actually taking it or intervening in what it was, and that means he is directly responsible and not just Bhakti Caru.
A devotee just contacted me and said that Tamal Krishna had ordered a devotee to commit suicide who had broken the principles, in the Philippines, and he had also told a devotee whose wife cheated on him to kill the wife. He also just told me that Tamal and Bhakti Caru were in a homosexual relationship, because another gay devotee was with them and saw them naked together and Tamal was the prominent one.
This final piece of information actually sums it all up very nicely, that Tamal and Bhavananda and Bhakti Caru were homesexuals, and they wanted to poison Prabhupad because of their guilt – it’s very simple. And Tamal now has been recorded as ordering death to disciples through this committing suicide, and also killing the wife, using death so-easily, points clearly to the fact that he also ordered Prabhupad’s death.
Sulochan’s mission was to bring down the gay saffron club. So, Ramai is part of that. Ramai was in his gumpsha with Venu Gopal. Ramai had a crush on Venu Gopal on the bus. I was on the bus party, and he would never leave him alone, he was on top of him every day, and Venu was screaming – all over the caravan park you could hear him screaming pitifully and Ramai would not leave him alone.
Ramai also pelted me with stones once, and he was so guilty that he gave me his neck beads over it. The bus was constantly breaking down, so he would line up bottles and they would break bottles over peoples’ gardens, and they would just leave the mess there while the bus was getting fixed up. Ramai spent millions on the bus from what we collected in Sydney, so he could have his free run. And the bus did no book distribution at all – there were no books on the bus. He just would make us set up a program at a country women’s hall every night and he would be the big guru giving the speech. He would just come out, but he would just stay inside all day in his motor home, while we had to collect with these shocking prints that were impossible to sell and impossible to carry.
Ramai took Sanyas from Bhavananda, although he makes everyone think that he took Sanyas from Prabhupad, and that’s why he’s now the GBC Commissioner. But he took Sanyas from Bhavananda and so did Indra Dyumna. So, he and Venu would have these very plush cushions to sleep on, but we had to sleep on the floor, and we had a two inch by two foot locker each. Gaura Gopal, who is a known pedophile, came onto the bus and I had to escape him, so I had to sleep in the kitchen which was a foot wide and leaking gas fumes.
Ramai bought automatic weapons, and he would shoot them with Gaura Gopal, who got one of those weapons and threatened a woman devotee whose son he had molested. He threatened her that if she told anyone, he would kill her with one of these guns which Ramai bought with the money we collected.
So, the bus was initially to distribute books, but we distributed not one book on the entire bus party, and I was on it for years. No books go out on any of Ajita’s programs either. He would do a program in the evening, but it was just for his eating. It was the same in the Melbourne Temple, he had the room above the kitchen. He was a Brahma Cari, but he had his own room above the kitchen, but all the other Brama Cari’s rooms were over in another building. He had his own room where all the women were so he could raid the kitchen. And like that he also had a restaurant, but he would just sit in the restaurant and eat all day and I had to go out and collect for it.
The police would chase me constantly, and they would chase me into the restaurant, and I had to go up four flights of stairs and hide in the attic. So, he had me on the street with costume jewelry, in a wig, and it was illegal – and it was terrifying, with the traffic and the smog and people were not interested.
This Movement was founded and funded by us selling books, be it humble or a limited income, we were still ecstatic doing this service for our spiritual master, in whom we had absolute faith, especially in his books. So, to change that would be similar to changing the Coca-Cola product to anything you want without the manager noticing. Well, unfortunately I’ve noticed where the initial deviation took place, and because it is so brutal, terrifying and crippling, no-one is game to look at it.
The worst part is the millions of conditioned souls who were left out of what would have been an army of spiritually qualified book distributers, flooding the planet and benefiting every conditioned soul. The entire Movement was turned into an ego oriented self-pursuit and continues to stagger down that miserable path.
In Adelaide Temple, I returned home from collecting all day, and I was resting in my sleeping bag, and Janmejay, who is a huge guy, the sort of guys Bhavananda would initiate, hit me as hard as he could in the face, in the nose, and broke my nose in several places and destroyed it for life. Of course, you have to keep collecting, no-one cares – it’s just brutal.
Mukunda removed the letter that Prabhupad had sent him after Gopinath died, and after I brought it to attention. In the letter Prabhupad had sent him, he was telling Mukunda to never ban anyone or to never call the police, both of which happened to Gopinath under Mukunda’s signature, and he’s proving himself guilty because he removed that letter that was circulating on Facebook.
And this really proves Ajita’s tactics – so to get Gopinath off the cows, which was pretty major – Gopinath had been doing the cows with Lagudi for 15 or 20 years, and had brought equipment from all over Australia on his own, and saving all the cows.
Ajita gave Veno Gopal who is also a Brahmana and was also in the category of a Prabhupad disciple, he gave him $800 a week to take over Gopinath’s job with the cows. Venu fell for that and he got cancer and died as a result, but that is the only way he could have got Gopinath off the cows, by making it look like another devotee was actually authorising it. Actually, Venu apologized to me for that later and he died a week after he apologized.
I was refused to put four bobby calves on New Govardhan. I also went back there briefly just for a visit and with my caravan, and someone let my tires down. Ajita sent a thug to tell me he’d call the police if I wasn’t gone in half an hour. It was the day before Christmas and I figured that, after collecting $3 million dollars for them, maybe Krishna would like me to spend Christmas day there.
When I was working for Sabhabapati’s Restaurant, I broke my left arm, both bones in it, which need to be steel pinned. I got addicted to the methodine in hospital because it was so painful getting those pins in and out, especially for the mrdanga player, (I was the main madunga player), so immediately I’m back on mrdanga in the Temple and I continued like that with all the festivals, always the major madunga and tabla player, with a broken left arm, staggering through with a broken foot, broken nose, broken tail bone, and still battling it on, because we know the absolute truth is Krishna. That’s why this is given to me now to do this.
So, a devotee gave me some hashish and that sort of helped with the pain when I got out of the hospital, and I’ve been using cannabis, as I’ve heard it helps with broken bones. So, when I went back to New Govardhan, after the Temple in Byron, I had one cannabis growing, and Ajita came down and broke it over his knee, and then he tried to fine me $1000 or get off the farm. That was the respect, then three days later he sent me a text, he wouldn’t even say that to me personally. So, I left immediately.
Then I got busted in Queensland. Bhavananda came on for an ad for the TOPV, saying we need money for the roof. So, I was up in no-man’s land trying to grow hemp to print The Course – I had my hemp license in place, and I thought Ok I’ll put some seedlings in tonight for the TOPV. So, I just shook a plant I had, and 108 seedlings came up, exactly the amount the police caught me with got me with. and I had to go to court. It was exactly 108, which was incredible. So, I chanted 64 rounds then as I thought Krishna wants something else for me in service, and I was going to drop this whole idea after that.
I kicked a log and put a one-inch splinter in my foot that the doctor didn’t see. I was staggering around with that for three months, with nowhere to be, all as a result of Ajita fining me and I’m trying to be a devotee. The hardships they give to devotee’s and I noticed it with Gopinath, they just love hurting them (and Jesus I heard too), and just string them up. And these are real devotees, you know, I’ve surrendered to Krishna.
Krishna did reveal himself when I first joined in Melbourne, and that’s why I’ve been so honest, dedicated and loyal and enthusiastic, and collected so many millions of dollars for ISKCON, but I’ve seen that Bhavananda turned it entirely around.
Anyone to hear this history would say that this is criminal, what he has done to the Movement, taken away the books and put his own ideas of candles and sex life. Once sex life entered through his ok, because he’s the guru, it was all finished in ISKCON. ISKCON was the cage, was the safety barrier against maya, and he just let maya in full scope. He allowed it and it’s being allowed by him being back in ISKCON now. This is now the standard, the ‘acceptable’ standard. No, sanyasis killed themself – that’s the rule. You can’t play with that, but he obviously did.
So, please check out his recent videos. There are maybe about 8 videos of him. The one ‘Bhavananda in Hollywood ‘was taken down, the sound is off and obviously they did that because he is just exposing himself too much. But the one ‘Bhavananda on Broadway’ exposes him fully, as do all the videos he is talking on the Vyasasan and it’s disgusting what he is doing at the moment. He’s heading it up because no-one can stop him. Only I can do this because I was initiated by him and I’ve taken a contract out with him.
Ajita was incredibly envious of me because I played table, and the girls got me to play tabla and pakawaj for the dancing girls. There was a troop of dancing girls who could practise in the Temple every day, he liked that, but he didn’t like it when they suddenly got me to play tabla for them, and I had girls prancing all over me and he was so envious of that. As well I would support them for doing kirtan, and they were very beautiful devotees and that’s why he joined. That’s also why he said when I came to Govardhan recently, “we only follow three regulative principles here”.
Here’s another example of how Ramai can just throw people around how he likes. He got me to get tabla lessons in Sydney, which meant traveling long distance on the train and trying to get there to some tabla player’s house. I learned tabla a little, but just the commotion of getting through Sydney every day just to learn tabla wasn’t part of Prabhupad’s curriculum.
Also, Ramai sent me to Adelaide so I didn’t have any family or friends who could rescue me, and I was stuck in Adelaide for years, in a horrible cement underground basement, collecting every single day in the middle of the city of Adelaide, right in the central block, with no sun no clean water and the huge candle box every day.
So, we had to collect every single day for Krpakara, who was the Adelaide Temple President, but he ended up in jail for five years, because he was molesting his daughter the entire time we were out collecting. I can’t tell you how hellish Adelaide Temple was, on top of which I’d had my nose broken, brutally broken, (I can’t breathe through my nose anymore). Janmejay got out of a mental clinic and joined the Temple, which a what a lot of devotees did.
Ramai was constantly buying himself newer and newer vehicles, and very expensive, including Greyhound buses and big motor homes for himself. When he was in Cairns, he bought these very expensive LTD huge cars and a really big old Dodge. They would race each other on the Cairn’s highway – they would do chicken coming back from programs. Ramai and Brajraj neck to neck, top speed for both cars and dangerous as hell. That’s Ramai’s mentality – nut case.
So, Ajita, firstly, all the money disappeared in the Brisbane Temple. All the women had collected heaps of money for the new Temple, that money disappeared and suddenly Ajita has a whole fleet of new trucks, and is able to pay Ramai’s fines off. So he inherited New Govardhan simply on that money basis, although he had only joined two weeks earlier. He got New Govardhan and now he is the National Secretary of Australia, and has completely taken over this gross money-making propaganda machine that he’s orchestrated in the name of ISKCON. He was also on an assault charge from a solicitor’s husband, a very nice devotee pair who I’ve known for years, he’s a beautiful Brahmin who did all of Ajita’s catering programs. Ajita was also fined by the GBC, because the woman he made Temple Commander (and there’s never in the history of ISKCON been a woman Temple Commander) was a woman off the street, and he had an affair with her and the GBC fined him for that. All the devotees had to pay for that of course, and that’s why he tried to fine me for the cannabis.
He’s just so angry and just spitting like a snake and now he’s built a brick wall around the Temple, around his house and put a boom gate on the Temple. He called the police on me for no reason whatsoever, and that’s after collecting $3 million for them my entire life, and I was only visiting not staying. I have to give that as a clear example of how he is just throwing power around, because he did the same thing to Sabhabati who initially bought the farm and built it from scratch, and he just banned him one afternoon because Sabhabati was opposed to the woofers. Ajita also built where he was told not to, and it cost us $100,000. And an entire shed of Krishna books went down in the flood and no-one even cared for them.
Gopinath bought probably 6 or 8 Gir cows down from Queensland at his own expense, and it wasn’t easy. They were beautiful cows, I saw them. Ajita fined Gopinath $6,000 for doing that, took the cows, banned Gopinath and put them under the charge of a couple of women who were lesbians, and who had only just come to the Temple, and were now in charge of the cow protection program and they killed the Girs. They over-fed them with something they weren’t supposed to, and they killed them in front of Gopinath. So Gopinath was just tolerating all this and that’s why I was living with him and comforting him the best I could. I could see he was going to die because he had no way out of this, because they had him in a strangle hold. The cows died in front of Gopinath, it was just heart-breaking. I was his only friend at the end. He developed pure devotional service, following Prabhupad, he became a pure devotee because he was so dedicated to Prabhupad. Everyone knew it, he was attractive to everyone and that was the problem.
So, Ajita thought he had finally killed Gopinath by banning him, and that was actually his intention. That’s why Jesus says in the course ‘There is only love or murder here’. I can see through the whole thing, because I was living with Gopinath a month before he died. I knew that what he was planning, and he left his body to demonstrate it, and I have to speak out for him. They held Gopinath’s funeral in the Temple, but Ajita or Mukunda didn’t go. Atmaram who was in charge of Sydney, he went, and he used to do book distribution with Gopinath, so he would be a good voice if we need a comparative voice in this – he is Dutch as well.
As we learn in the Course, guilt is the motivator for the insanity that everybody is in – there is nobody who is not in that insanity. After you have done the Course, you realise that. So, guilt is the upholding principle with Ramai as well as Ajita. Ramai was constantly concerned about his image, and the fact that he lied about when he was initiated by Prabhupad means his entire stadium is built on a lie. They’re just trying to secure as many properties and as much facility in their name, and that’s why New Govardhan is now in the name of Maharishi, where Ramai was a holiday at a Tokyo resort that my friend had to collect the money for. This is exemplified with Ajita not showing the books to the GBC. Keeping any secret from your brother is the same as murdering him – it’s the same idea. The devotees are just not aware of this mechanism that Jesus has pointed out in the Course.
That’s why I brought to light the fact the Srila Govinda Maharaj told me Bhavananda was smuggling alcohol into Mayapur. So that thing of keeping something secret is where the guilt comes from. So, the amount of guilt Bhavananda has, plus we know he was having all sorts of relationships all over Mayapur, and he’s still presenting himself as the leader which shows in the videos that he is doing presently.
Because no-one has yet been able to prove that cadmium was used, because it is very difficult to detect and they knew that, and that’s the only pinprick that Bhavananda thinks he may have got over. That’s why he’s making such an overt example of himself now, by presenting you-tube videos of himself talking, being obnoxious and disgraceful. You can see through it that it’s why he’s over-the-top. The same as Radanath, they are displaying themselves, because actually they are both guilty of murder.
Gopinath had actually done a miracle, because he was so faithful to Prabhupad, he managed to manifest perfection in cow protection. He was ploughing with them, he was tilling wheat with them, and he would thrash that wheat in the Temple room. He was growing peanuts, he was growing all sorts of things, plus sugar cane, which he had the bullocks crushing on the crusher, round the round. Him and Muguti had done a masterpiece there on Vedic intention. It was transcendental and everyone I’ve talked to about this has agreed.
On Govardhan, (it had taken us many years to develop that), I was the cook for the gurukul and the pajari. We had been working on Govardhan all our life, I mean we paid for it, and to have Ajita just throw me out like that, and he did the same to Sababapati and he did it to Laguti who built it by hand, dragging all of the logs out of the forest with the bullocks – it’s horrendous.
Ajita complained about Gopinath misusing the Temple facilities because Gopinath would grind in this old ancient grinder, some grains that he had grown himself for the Deities, and I was the pajari and so I would cook these grains for Gopinath, and Ajita would just say the craziest things about what he was doing wrong. It was all entirely transcendental, because like I said, Gopinath was a pure devotee and everyone knows it, he’s just Krishna, this is Krishna manifesting himself.
Gopinath was so impeccable that while he was getting Government assistance, he managed to buy some land. He bought a piece of land that Junmijai owned for $90,000, and they all cheered him in Centrelink when he told them, so he’s really a hero – he’s respected. He took the bullock cart to a Festival in Murwillumbar, and you’ve got to take 16 bullocks to drag a cart, and he managed to do it, and they stopped him just before it, and they wouldn’t let him go in. He was heart-broken. His entire heart has been in cow protection.
I opened a Temple in Byron and saved the four bobby calves from the Byron Dairy – I felt it was my duty. I thought I could have them mowing the lawns of all the neighbors, and people would see how beautiful cows are. Unfortunately, the Council came the next day – they were a bit too young and they were mooing, and the neighbors were disturbed, and I had nowhere to put them. I put them in my caravan, and I took them to Govardhan, thinking naturally that at least I’d be able to leave them out there somewhere for now. But no, I wasn’t even allowed to leave them, so I had to keep these four calves in my caravan with nowhere at all to go with them.
I did find then a devotee, Venu’s ex-wife gave me a place to put them and they’re very happy. But I managed to save them and that was the beginning of my victory call. I also collected 5,000 names, in saffron, for the Vegan Animal Legal Rights Party in Byron Bay and everywhere, and I was teaming up with him. But then I baked out because I realized vegan is not Prabhupad’s idea, but I gave a lot of support to their first vegan political party. He came to the Temple. He was a solicitor and I thought he could help me on the national ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’ thing, but I had to back out from that, but I invested a lot of money in that as well.
So now, because of the cow protection thing, this is coming to front, because I see the cows getting killed next to Govardha – James’ land where Govinath had to live. Govinath even had to round up those cows which was very painful for him. The cows all around the land of Govardhan are all getting killed. Ajita could be paying for that as I am paying for the cows on the land I am on now. And Ajita could be paying for those cows not to be killed. That’s his responsibility, I’ve taken it on here, on the land that I’ve got, I’m buying the cows that are here, before and I have, and it’s a beautiful thing to do.
I am growing hemp in dung – it’s going to save the world. I have a massive property in Coraki, with plenty of building materials, plenty of clean water, cows and very lush pastures, with plenty of room and places for people to be on their own, and not be disturbed. They can have complete privacy here and there’s no noise at all. So that’s my offering for Australia, and the world, if anyone needs a quiet spot where they are not going to be intimidated by people like Ajita and Ramai.
Bhavananda was picking up the worst types possible for initiation, whereas I had been in the Temple for about five years before Bhavananda came in, but I was refused Prabhupad’s initiation because I had gone for a weekend away with my family, which was unfortunate.
So, this incredible push for money was about Bhavananda who obviously had an adrenochrome habit in Hollywood. We’ve learned about that now, we know it’s true, that’s where he came from and where he kept disappearing to and could quite well be the reason for his incredible need for so much money, as well as the cocaine that they were spending money on. That’s been documented – Chitahari lost $100,000 on a heroin deal in Kings Cross with our marathon money. They were going to islands and just having cocaine parties, and I don’t know what else, and that’s been told to me by Achintya Govinda, who said Bhakti Caru and Bhavananda were into drinking blood to keep their youthful features, and certainly Bhavananda maintained a very youthful look and was very concerned about how handsome he was.
So, they were picking up all types for initiation just as long as they would sell candles. We were all thrown in, the whole lot of us, in a flat in Kings Cross. The environment was disgusting, and it was impossible to be in the mode – you had to be transcendental to keep selling candles. And the more money you brought in the greater the devotee you were, and the big celebration in morning in front of the Deities was for how much you collected, and off you go again – for years and years he was getting away with it.
Would you dare say anything if you were in Mayapur and it was all going on. That’s why Alfred Ford only paid a little bit of the TOPV, and the rest was a world-wide money grab by Bhavananda. The guy who put the planetary video together left. He was a doctor, and I knew him, he was a devotee, and as soon as we confronted him about flat Earth, he left the TOPV and is now back in the hills in Australia.
If you see the early videos with Amberish opening up the mansion in Chicago, Bhavananda was the first one, the dignitary there, so to speak. He would be the first one to shake the hand as if it’s all under his management, so basically, he had the run of the show from there on in, he was in charge of the entire thing.
So, the comparison with the Democrat Party is the fact they are not working, they don’t want to work and it’s the same with Ramai. He has simply avoided his responsibility of having to work for a living, because he was just a musician on the streets of Melbourne, and he got into the Temple and made me do all the work. I had to collect all the money, and he has just been doing that fobbing it off and why he got on the bus, so he didn’t have to work at all. And that’s simply what the Democrats have done, it’s all based on money – paid that money for not working. It’s the same with Ajita with his catering truck – someone else is doing the selling for him.
So, when they got rid of the books, ISKCON became a commercial venture for this money-making thing. That’s it’s only purpose, who could make the most money. So, Pratapana bought the Temple in Sydney, and it’s no longer a Temple, to support his family. Atmaram the same thing, selling everything for his own family. As soon as they became family men and that became the purpose of the building, the whole meaning was lost. So, that’s even more disgusting when you think of the fact that Ajita has turned it into a whole catering empire and he won’t sell the books.
Devamrita Swami was the Temple President of New Vrndavan when Solochina was murdered, that means that he was the absolute authority there and would have known about it and assisted in it. Ramai was similarly the Temple President of Sydney, making him the absolute authority when the night watchman was killed. Ajita, being the Temple President of Govardhan was directly responsible for the death of Gopinath.
I’m confident that I’ve given sufficient proof, the madman Bhavananda agreed to the opportunity presented to him by Tamal for world domination of the movement by aiding Prabhupad in his apparent suicide.
The law in Australia is if you give your entire life to an organisation, they are duty bound to look after you, so ISKCON has broken the law.

Obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
This was certainly an exhausting history lesson laid out by one of many courageous disciples of Srila Prabupada and Lord Caitanya that being Nanda Gopala dasa.
That is not the ISKCON that Srila Prabhupada originally set up and promised for the world to help free the world. Alas the changes going on worldwide and the many changes to come will sweep away all those connected with these present and past crimes without exception. They will be driven to the infernal regions where they belong.
It is better to put all of our confidence in Srila Prabhupada than to put any confidence in the GBC and ISKCON and it is better to trust Lord Caitanya than to put any of our confidence in false gurus. Recognising those of dark nature can be found in Srila Prabhupada’s first printing books. Bhagavad Gita comes to mind. However, applying that knowledge when we are in the beginning stages of Bhakti Yoga is very difficult because there are no longer any qualified viable teachers. We are all on our own to seek out honest loving devotee friendships to help us and those we are trying to reach. For many decades now the GBC and ISKCON have become irrelevant and must be avoided but not to the point of disregarding those stragglers who are honestly suffering under its tyrants. Those tyrants of course have no morality at all and by their association one loses one’s morality.
Nanda Gopala dasa has shown great courage, indeed inspiration and I salute him for it.
“The instructions of Bhagavad-gītā constitute the supreme process of religion and of morality. All other processes may be purifying and may lead to this process, but the last instruction of the Gītā is the last word in all morality and religion: surrender unto Kṛṣṇa. This is the verdict of the Eighteenth Chapter.” Bg18.78
“In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.” Bg2.40
Teach the children.

RE: Excerpt from above article:
“Ramai bought automatic weapons, and he would shoot them with Gaura Gopal, who got one of those weapons and threatened a woman devotee whose son he had molested. He threatened her that if she told anyone, he would kill her with one of these guns which Ramai bought with the money we collected.”
Definitely a different assessment of Nanda Gopal (Nicholas DeVilder’s) relationship with Ramai back in 2014.

Sounds like a beautiful place. Nice retreat from the influences of Kali Yuga
It’s very unfortunate about how they treated Gopinath Prabhu. I don’t think these guys understand the gravity of what they do as he was one of most Krishna conscious persons I have ever encountered (if not the most Krishna conscious!). As with many such advanced souls (we read about many such personalities in the Srimad Bhagavatam) they sometimes display some slight (or extreme) eccentricities which are very endearing to many but for the pretentious, they find these ‘irritating and intolerable’ due to their own inability to remove themselves from the temptation of pride and artificial prestige!
Gopinath Acharya Prabhu’s kind and attractive nature encompassed all of the best qualities a devotee can posses and together with only a ‘slight querkiness’ made you feel like you were in the association of one of Lord Krishna’s cowherd boys. who had just descended from Goloka Vrindavan and bless you with his association! Gopinath Acharya Prabhu sold me a set of Srimad Bhagavatams back in the very early 80’s and I remember thinking at the time that “I don’t believe I have met anyone on this planet, that made such a strong impression on me!” Yes! such personalities are rarer and more valuable than gold!
Such travesties will only damage Srila Prabhupada’s movement! I last saw Gopinath in 2008. His light was too bright for this world …. I miss him a lot!
