EDITORIAL February 5, 2000 VNN5411 Comment on this story Bhakti Tirtha Exposed? BY BHAKTI-TIRTHA SWAMI EDITORIAL, Feb 5 (VNN) — Subject: Re: Bhakti Tirtha exposed? Dear Trivikrama Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to ISKCON founder-acarya Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for the message that you forwarded to me from VNN (see VNN Story 5397) . I was totally shocked about what I read. This girl has been trying for years in different ways to get my attention. My concern now is whether or not to give some kind of validity by addressing the issue or just see it to be so ridiculous that I do not give it even a moments of attention.
You are the only person who has contacted me on this. But as there is an all time distrust in leadership it is obviously important that all leaders are above suspicion. In this case to be above suspicion last year she was brought before a judicial board arranged by Sesa. That time she made some apologies and agreed to stop such craziness, but of course she has gotten many times worse. Previously it was that I owed her $2,000. Now it has turned into a large sum of money and also spiritual deviation. I have never even one day missed my 16 rounds what to say of other discrepancies and surely would never steal laxmi from a woman. One of the problems was that I gave her so much care as I tried to do with any devotee who works with me. Once she came back to America, perhaps due to constant offences to her dozens of saligramas, she became more and more disturbed with me and practically everyone else. But as Srila Prabhupada says in vedic scripture the sign of a good leader is that people are happy and feel protected. Since she is neither happy and perhaps unprotected then surely I feel sorry for her present position and of course sorry for the ongoing offences that she has become entangled in. Thank you for sending this to me. Yours in Srila Prabhupada's service, With love Comment on this story  Contact VNN about this storySend this story to a friend
