Gopal Khanna has been found accused of Child Abuse within ISKCON Society during 1970’ and 1980’. To escape the justice Gopal Khanna along with other ISKCON Gurus filed bankruptcy, and after that, with the help of their lawyers got away with an out of court settlement. Gopal Khanna has between 5000 to 10,000 disciples. They donate (Guru-dakshina) to their Guru at least once a year during Mr. Khanna’s birth day. He is getting in average of $2.5 to $5 million per year.

“Child abuse has come to represent a fundamental betrayal of trust, not only for abused children and their parents but also for the membership more generally.”

Before Gopal Khanna (dob 8.14.1944) joined ISKCON Society in Toronto in May of 1967 he worked as a marketing research analyst for Pepsi Cola and Bristol-Myers.

In 1970, he married Ekayani Devi Dasi. Ekayani gave birth to a son in 1973.

Eight years later, in 1981, he divorced and took the sannyasa order or the monastic lifestyle within ISKCON Society while officially leaving aside his responsibilities as a householder. He become an ISKCON Guru at age 36 , and is considered as good as God or God's Representative on earth by his ISKCON followers.

His abandoned wife, Ekayani devi dasi, has to say the following about Gopla Khanna aka Gopal Krishna Goswami in her email to ISKCON women's ministry on Nov 15th 1999:

”Twenty five years ago when the news about Kirtanananda's excesses were being ignored and denied, I remember violently arguing with Gopal to get him to see the light… he so horribly abused and maltreated me, never giving me a penny of child support... He took sanyas after we had been divorced two years and separated for seven… After I received the letter from Prabhupad criticizing the anti-women policies instituted by the New York temple then under the leadership of the soon-to-be married Bali Mardan Goswami, Gopal confronted me in our mice-infested hovel of an apartment and demanded to know why I did written to Prabhupada without his permission. I told him that I knew he wouldn't agree because he didn't have the guts to confront Bali Mardan, whereupon he picked up the one piece of furniture in the room--a heavy wooden desk chair- -and threw it directly at my eight-month's pregnant abdomen. Had I not instantly stepped aside (the chair put a hole in the wall went it hit), my wonderful son, who I have raised and supported all by myself, would not be here today.

Remember this when you put your trust in "His Holiness" - the only thing holy about the man (Gopal Krishna Swami) are the holes in his moral fabric. He should be serving a life sentence for attempted murder.

Sincerely, Esther ("Ekayani")”

When addressed by a Times of India Journalist, Man Mohan,

There have been some reports of child abuse in ISKCON "gurukuls."? Goswami replied: There was some problem in American gurukuls but it has now been corrected. http://www.vnn.org/world/WD9909/WD06-4670.html

According to Gopal Khanna there was only ‘some’ problem in ‘America’.

The dark side of Gopal Khanna’s life is his 30+ years involvement in covering up for the worst child abuse and crimes that happened within ISKCON. He is a very close associate of Kirtanananda Swami. Kirtanananda Swami is kind of a person fully capable of causing Mumbai's Terrorist Attacks. Kirtanananda Swami has many followers in Pakistan who still die-hard are worshiping him as good as God and are willing to do anything for him. The Indian Government would do justice, just as a little precaution, to keep an eye on Kirtanananda Swami and his old friends. The fact is that the western people many times before implemented the policy of ‘Divide And Rule’ to rule over India. The amount of disciples, money, resources and influences these foreign Gurus have amassed ‘to rule’ this might perhaps be their intent.

Gopal Khanna is an ISKCON GBC Guru in-charge of Krishna Balaram Mandir in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh Zone for the past 30+ years. Convicted child abusers worked under him in positions of teachers and authorities within ISKCON gurukulas (boarding schools).

...

1. At all times material herein from 1971 through 1996, Defendant ISKCON, through the GBC, operated and supervised the gurukulas across the United States and in India. The teachers and supervisors at the boarding schools and gurukulas acted upon the delegated authority of ISKCON as its agents. The gurukula teachers and supervisors came to know the Plaintiffs and gained access to them because of their status as leaders of ISKCON indoctrination. The gurukula teachers and supervisors engaged in the described wrongful conduct while in the course and scope of their duties with ISKCON and its affiliated entities. Therefore, ISKCON is liable for the wrongful conduct of its gurukula teachers and supervisors.” - Turley Child Abuse Case of 2000
