Sulochan das (Steve Bryant) with his sons. Sulochan was murdered in May of 1986 two days after publishing his book: "The Guru Business". The book exposed the ISKCON self-appointed gurus.
“Sulochan das had warned the police that his life was in danger. But they didn't believe him.” - http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1986/10/1986-10-08.shtml
“In November of 1986 Sulochan's son, Nimai Bryant, mysteriously drowns at New Vrindaban, just months after his father was murdered. “ - http://iskconreview.blogspot.com/

Shocking Evidence Points to Radhanatha Swami "When devotees tried to expose Kirtanananda's child molestation, Radhanatha Swami is said to have taken the matter into his own hands, ordering the killing of these devotees to silence the critics." - Navadvipachandra das http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/12-06/editorials1063.htm http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/12-06/editorials1063.htm
“Thomas Drescher (Tirtha) said he placed the sticker, which said "Are we having fun yet?" on the van of Stephen Bryant (Sulocana) before tracking him down in 1986 in Los Angeles, where he shot Bryant twice in the head.” - Charleston Newspapers April 18, 1996, Thursday http://www.rickross.com/reference/krishna/krishna56.html
"Prosecutors said St. Denis was shot a dozen times, stabbed, beat with a hammer and finally suffocated with plastic wrap placed in his mouth before he was buried." - Associated Press (August 31, 1986) - Navadvipachandra das, New Vrindavan Body Count, For the Record (Unedited)
“What else does Ravindra Svarupa not want the devotees to know about this case? Well for starters, it wasn't just the murder of two people. If you counted the New Vrindavan bodies on your fingers you would need to continue on your toes. Here are a few of the unsolved murders linked to New Vrindaban and the leaders of that time (which include Radhanatha Swami, Devamrita Swami, Malati, Umapati Swami, and others): ”
“An extensive collection of historical New Vrindaban photographs have been posted online by Navadvipchandra dasa. This photo archive includes more than 140 pictures of Kirtanananda, murder victims Sulocana dasa and Chakradahari, murderer Tirtha and various individuals involved in criminal activity, judicial and law enforcement personalities involved in the investigations and trials, and various images of life at New Vrindaban under Kirtanananda's rule.” http://www.wissenswertes-online.de/spirit/crimes1.htm
“To press charges against this kind of thing requires too much money, and KS [Kirtanananda Swami] is the only one who's got money. And if someone presses charges they have to live in fear for their lives... It's incredible what he's gotten away with over the past 20 years.” - Sulochan dasa, letter to Triyogi das http://www.surrealist.org/pdf/bryant_plan.pdf
“A member of a Hare Krishna fringe group testified Wednesday… Drescher testified he carried out the assassination at the wish of his spiritual leader, Swami Bhaktipada.(Keith Ham)” - Charleston Newspapers April 18, 1996, Thursday http://www.rickross.com/reference/krishna/krishna56.html

He doesn't have to explain why he went and visited Kirtanananda and had his men staying at his New York Sanctuary. He doesn't have to explain why he visited Tirtha in prison, and gives him so much support despite the fact that he's guilty of multiple murders that happened under his watch. He doesn't apologize for what happened to victims like Sulocana and Chakradhari under the regime that he was so actively involved in. According to Radhanatha and Gokulananda, we're supposed to put all this behind us, buried along with the dark history no one wants to dig up. Unfortunately, we just can't escape the truism that if you don't know what your history is and you don't study it, then there's a strong likelihood you're going to repeat it. And this, of course, is what we've been doing for the last 20 years." - Rochana das
A Response To Malati Mataji's 'Factual Timeline' http://harekrsna.com/sun/editorials/10-08/editorials3527.htm “Actually, there was nothing for me to be confused about. As per my testimony under oath, Kirtanananda and Radhanath Maharaja drove into the driveway of the SKP house and honked the horn. When I approached the car I was asked if I had $5,000.00 in the safe. I went in, retrieved it, and handed it to Radhanath Maharaja, who handed it to Kirtanananda. I asked if this was to get them out of the country. I received affirmative smiles in response. Bas, that was it!”

The result at New Vrindaban, according to Marshall County Sheriff John Gruzinskas, was corruption. ‘When their leader died, there was no direction so certain folks saw it as an opportunity to move in and take advantage,’ said Gruzinskas, a 25-year veteran of the State Police and the lead investigator in several cases involving the activities at the commune." - Daily Mail

Sri Galima, another homosexual pedophile was sexually abusing boys as young as five at his 'school' in one of the backwoods of 'New Vrndavana'. The women of the traveling 'sankirtana' party were being supplied stimulant drugs and even prostituting themselves in pursuit of money for Kiranananda. They were the harem of the 'sankirtana' leader, Dharmatma dasa. The leading collectoress for the day was rewarded with a night of sex with Dharmatma." - Balavidya das

He should be clear that such actions of untruthfulness are not bhakti. Ultimately, it is the duty of his followers to make sure that he is not an offensive neophyte devotee. If they follow an offensive neophyte devotee, then they also become offensive neophyte devotees.”
