“Regarding Radhanatha Swami's involvement in the murder of Sulochan, we should note the following three points: 1. The sworn court testimony of Dharmatma das states Radhanatha Swami was "pushing like crazy" for the murder to happen:... 2. A letter written by Dharmatma das to Hansadutta in 1994 states clearly that Radhanatha Swami was involved in the murder:… 3. Radhanatha Swami arranged for free medical treatment for Dharmatma das… at his hospital in India, and Dharmatma das subsequently changed his public opinion on Radhanatha Swami, glorifying him in letters sent to several websites:” http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/09-08/editorials3359.htm - from Radhanatha Swami's Involvement in the Murder of Sulochan das by Hare Krishna das
“26 August 1994 Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Shyamakunda Prabhu just brought me a copy of your Excommunicated, Uncommunicated, Incommunicado booklet. I was quite amazed, but not so surprised at the actions of some of the ISKCON "big devotees and leaders." Having experienced the same type of ostracization at the community here, I can sympathize with you. It never ceases to amaze me how they can be so unkind, uncompassionate and intolerant, the exact opposite qualities that real devotees should exhibit. Here at New Raman Reti in Florida, we have our share of so-called big devotees: current GBCs, ex GBCs, sannyasis , ex-sannyasis and want-to-be's. There is no shortage of false egos and holier-than-thou attitudes. My way of dealing with the situation is just that--not dealing with them at all. My family and I go to Mangal Arotika, Tulasi and japa, then come home and start our own home-schooling with the kids. We stay away from the social scenes and different trips. It's lonely, but healthier as we stay away from conflicts and fault-finding. It amazes me that the powers-to-be dictated that you shouldn't lead kirtans or give class at the temples. Recently, they made Radhanath Swami a GBC. With all due respect, as I do like him as a person, and he is a sweet devotee, but still he was involved to some degree or had knowledge of Sulochan's murder. I know this for a fact. Not only that, he supported K Swami to the end, causing many devotees much anguish and suffering. My feeling is that he, like many of the others, is motivated by profit, adoration and distinction. It's too bad, but not at all surprising. A truly advanced devotee is a rare commodity. Anyway, keep up the good work. Go on, irregardless of them. The best revenge is your good living in Krishna consciousness. They can't keep you from Krishna or Prabhupada. Hope this finds you well and blissfully engaged. Look forward to your association again one day. Hari bol! Your servant, - from Dharmatma Das Implicates Radhanatha Swami in the Sulochan Murder, a letter from Dharmatma das to Hansadutta das
“Dharmatma Das, one of the very high-ranking leaders of New Vrindavan is on record saying that Radhanatha Swami was not exposing Kirtanananda, but rather propping him up till the very end, "causing many devotees much anguish and suffering."” http://www.hare-krishna.org/articles/1034/1/Radhanathas-Statement-Just-Doesnt-Make-Sense/Page1.html - from Radhanatha’s Statement Just Doesn’t Make Sense by Navadvipachandra das |
