“The leaders of ISKCON and the GBC are most responsible for what has happened to our children because they have the authority and power to do something about it. Yet, for decades, they looked the other way and child abuse persisted despite their knowledge. To date, these leaders still have not been held accountable for what has happened. Let me give you one case in point of this type of corrupted mentality in the works: On July 11, 1991, Tosan Krsna, Adikarta, Bhaktarupa and Dayarama prabhus issued an investigative report on child abuse incidents at the Bhativedanta Gurukula Village (BGV) which was then headed by Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja. The report identified 11 serious child sex abusers and more than two dozen victims. The report described several incidents of sexual abuse, rape and molestations by older boys to smaller boys, including children as young as 5 years old. The report clearly indicated that there was pervasive, forced sexual abuse, coercion, intimidation and fear. At the time of the 1991 investigation, the report also described the school atmosphere surcharged with repeated threats to the boys so that they wouldn't talk to the investigators. Besides the July 11, 1991 report, several persons involved with the school maintained that incidents of forced sexual abuse were prevalent throughout the year and over a period of many years. Attached to the July 11, 1991 report is a letter (the Child Protection Office has an original signed copy of this letter) from Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja and Naresvara Prabhu that identifies more than 30 boys who were involved in sexual abusive incidents.”

What follows below is a ‘logic’ by one of the CPT Mayapure representatives:

 

“Firstly BVPS does not have nor drive a motorcycle. The incident of him on a motorbike with a girl was as follows…. Sri Radhe was sitting on a rack which extends from the back of the bike and not in contact with BVPS. They went to the teacher's house…. That was the one and only time they were on a motorbike together. Now it may have not been a particularly sensible thing to do but it was done and then it was finished… I am not covering up for BVPS. I wouldn't do that…. I'm seeing every day how it's impossible to take what people say at face value.”  http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/12-06/editorials1065.htm - from Answer to Accusations against Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami by Ramadevi dasi, Mayapur CPT (Child Protection Team)

A reply to Ramadevi dasi, Mayapure CPT:

“You admit that he [BVPS] was spending all day and every day at the all-girl’s school associating with this 23-year-old principal and her students, yet you say it wasn’t that excessive? ” http://jaganat.wordpress.com/2006/12/31/just-keep-sitting-in-those-sweet-classes-of-bhavanandas-and-pretend-its-all-nectar-around-you/ - from The Mayapur Cover-Up Team in Action by Navadvipachandra das

ISKCON elected Guru and GBC, Bhaktividyapurna Swami aka BVPS - proven Child Abuser at Mayapur Boarding School - directly worked under self-proclaimed Gurus: Jayapataka Swami and Bhavananda ex-Swami [below].

“On September 20, 2000, ISKCON's Office of Child Protection ruled as follows: During the 1980s, through 1991, many children suffered physical, sexual, and psychological child abuse in the Mayapura gurukula while Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja was in the position of principal of the school. Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja has expressed to the ICOCP that he takes responsibility for the child abuse that occurred while he was principal of the school. In some instances Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja imposed excessive physical punishments on students, and Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja also takes responsibility for these acts of misconduct. . . . Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja may not at any time assume a managerial or administrative role in ISKCON, and especially not in connection with children.” http://www.chakra.org/discussions/GurOct19_03.html - from BVPS at Mayapur Gurukula?
