Cost Of Silence

Thanks for posting this rama. It's astounding how many apologists there are. The people being put in positions of educating kids from the time of prabhupad had no background checks done, zero teaching experience and far from qualified to deal with emotional deterioration of students. The poor kids were robbed of any critical thinking and life skills. The schools bred them to remain within the structure of the cult. I know so many of these kids and butlers school was no better. A pseudo social spiritual experiment at the expense of unwitting kids. Often they were told that by being in the school they were helping their parents serve God. Meanwhile the parents, ran around collecting money to give to the guru to fund their ridiculous ambitions of big temples, more disciples and amassing land.

All this sad nonsense for a life goal that most children found to be magical and fantastical. It was hung over their heads that if they behaved, kept silent and kept on chanting, that they would go to their blue God and dance and play all day. If not, God would rip them up like the dirty demon hiranyakashipu (who they were taught all karmis were like) or they would be picked apart by the yamadutas. They were told that disobeying their guru was offensive. The kids grew up with little to no self worth outside the construct of the cult.
