Are [Nitya-trpta dd] and Krishna Prema still married?
I just now received the following information from an anonymous source:
“No. She went back to her first husband, Ekanath, and [Krishna Prema] is with another woman.”
This is outrageous! From this little tidbit, we can deduce the following:
1. The head of the Bhaktivedanta Archives, Ekanatha Das, used to be married to Nitya-trpta dd, who also now works at the Archives.
2. Nitya-trpta and Ekanatha both got divorced.
3. Both of them remarried, Nitya-trpta dd to Krishna Prema from Italy who got initiated by Bhagavan ex-swami and then re-initiated by Harikesa ex-swami and is now “with another woman.”
4. Nitya-trpta and Ekanatha both got divorced again!
5. Then Nitya-trpta went back to her 1st husband, Ekanatha das at the Archives!
Do any of you know any more of the details of this scandal? Who is Ekanatha’s 2nd wife, and where are she and Ekanatha’s children now? Did Ekanatha ever succeed in selling his comfortable country grha (house)? I guess not, because it is still listed on the Bhaktivedanta Archives’ official website:
http://www.prabhupada.com/home/
Now we know where our money goes when we donate to the Archives!
And we wonder why, after 32 years, they still haven’t made high quality, unedited, unprocessed copies of all of Srila Prabhupada’s audio tapes? These are not grhasthas. They are definitely grhamedhis! 
Isn’t it high time for a changing of the guard at the Bhaktivedanta Archives? Shouldn’t someone be in charge of the Archives who at least comes up to the karmi standards of morality (no divorce)? (My wife and I never got divorced. My parents never got divorced. I have 3 siblings, all 3 of whom got married when they were young, and none of them ever got divorced. It’s not so unusual!)
Do you really want Srila Prabhupada’s priceless legacy to be in the hands of such low-class, immoral people who are simply in it for the money?
Your servant, Pratyatosa Dasa
Dear Pratyatosa Prabhu,
You seem to be mistaking us for the National Enquirer. We didn’t post anything on your marital problems, nor are we interested in posting anything on anyone else’s. Please revisit your own motivations and consider the possibility that you’re just upset with the BA staff because you can’t control them and therefore want to hurt them. Please leave us off any future correspondence of this type.
Ys,
Madhusudani dasi
Dear Mother Madhusudani Prabhu, marital problems are one thing. Divorce is a completely different ball game. Srila Prabhupada didn’t get along with his wife very well, but he didn’t divorce her and she didn’t divorce him. Let’s try to follow Srila Prabhupada’s example, OK?
The biggest problem is that the Archive devotees are incompetent (I can prove it) and they are in it for the money (That’s obvious). Even after 32 years, they still haven’t done their most basic archiving duties that should have been done in the first year!
I’ve been telling them for years to make high quality, exact copies of Srila Prabhupada’s original tapes available on the Internet as free downloads, but they are obviously afraid that it might decrease their profit margins and therefore decrease their householder independence, so they simply ignore the requests of not only myself, but of Rocana Prabhu, Madhudvisa Prabhu, Visnu Murti Prabhu, and many others. Archiving is obviously of secondary importance to them!
BTW, that article of mine that you so kindly published is actually an updated version of something that I sent to the Archives devotees 2 years ago!
Your servant, Pratyatosa Dasa
Pratyatosa Dasa,
It is very wonderful that you and several family members haven’t gone through the pains of a divorce. This is something admirable, as marriage can be a tough struggle. However, does this give you the right to judge others for their personal lives that you only know a “little tidbit” about? Here’s some information for you.. Ekanatha Dasa and his second wife were beyond “karmi standards” of household life. They raised two children in Krishna Consciousness, which, I believe, is one of the most important and irreplaceable duties a grhastha family can perform. They both rendered countless years of service, and their children are very well and are aspiring devotees of Krishna. As far as their divorce goes? Well that, quite honestly, isn’t really your (nor anyone else’s) business. Why are you even wasting your time disrupting peace and trying to create unnecessary drama?
Instead of accusing the Bhaktivedanta Archives of being in it only for the money, why don’t you take a minute to recognize all the service they have done for Srila Prabhupada? Things cannot, and will not, always go the way you want them to. I believe you would be far more peaceful and satisfied if you were to change your consciousness and see the good in everyone, instead of feeding on negative comments you hear. Besides, humility is one of the greatest and most admirable qualities of a devotee, is it not?
We’ve been talking politely to them for at least 2 years now:

Maybe it’s time to “take the kid gloves off.”
Divorce is not a private affair. I am simply following the example of my beloved Guru Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada, who also spoke out very strongly against divorce. You are simply trying to intimidate me to stop preaching against divorce, which is not only immoral, but also illegal.
