No matter what people did that was wrong which I believe you you were abused, Goloka does exist - Krishna does exist, and we are spiritual beings in this material world covered by external coverings. Due to these coverings, some spiritaulists may not be so pure and may hurt otheres in the name of spirituality but that does not mean they all do, and it does not mean that the philosophy is wrong, just that some people misused it. So I beg you to at least find some beauty and truth in the books of srila Prabhupada - take the good and leave behind the bad hare krishna Dear Clare,

So I beg you to at least find some beauty and truth in the books of srila Prabhupada - take the good and leave behind the bad

Prime journalism there? Anyways, Christianity, Islam, and yes even Judiasm is a cult. Look up the word in the dictionary. I wish "journalists" would get the facts stright before spouting off at the mouth. That's one of the reasons this country is in the state it is in....irresponsible news reporting.

So they sweep abuse and obvious nonsense under the carpet and, by the way, Hare Krishnas also believe anyone who is not in the HKs, is scum of the earth and within their own walls, call them karmis and spit on them. This is why many in HKs separate from their families and stuff, because they ae taught that their families and old ties are dangerous to their prospects of going to Goloka. There is a very good article on Wikipedia about something called "Groupthink", which describes exactly how people get sucked into the Hare Krishnas and are able to continue to rationalise what they say and do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink The HKs will never admit the wrong within their own walls, because like fanantics who are taught they will go to paradise if they do this and that heinous act beyond a rational persons capabilities, the HKs are also taught that so long as they never speak a word against their group and so long as they are “good devotees” they all believe they will be going to a paradise they call Goloka.

I was abused in the Hare Krishnas and noone within helped me because they are all so scared of going to hell or upsetting their Gurus. It was the same with the child abuse. Many knew, noone did anything.

When big scandals broke in 1986 they cleaned up their act and now are good citizens. Give credit where it's due.
