...and the hits keep coming.
From another new article on Ian's blog.

I'm eating rice and some sort of vegetable dish. Chayote and potatoes in some yellow curry sauce. Ramen noodles on the side. I'm reflecting on the prashadam prayer, "O Lord, this material body is a lump of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths leading to death. Somehow, we have fallen into this ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is most voracious and uncontrollable. It is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world..." I'm not entirely sure what it all means, but it sounds scary and awful, this tongue that we have. I'm a bit worried about my tongue. I ponder the ways it has created trouble for me. Mostly because I have a big mouth and always say stupid shit that offends people... Suddenly I'm thinking of death. Domodar and Mohan's little brother dies last year. Hit by a car while skate boarding. I recall how funny he was...
Once, back in Malibu, I went up to my gurus ocean front home. It was me and a few other guys and randomly little Gauranga was there. Maybe cause his mom did service for the guru... Anyway, we were there because Butler wanted to ask us why we wanted to go to the PI and give a talk on the importance of brahmachari life and discipline. We all sat. Nervous. Except that little Gauranga. He was just happy and basically a little spark plug. Maybe to break the ice or whatever, Butler asked little Gauranga a few questions. Then, he asked him what his name meant, to which the little boy replied very confidently and proudly, "SILVER!". Everyone laughed. After talking to Butler, we were sent to a sort of "prep-home" in Oxnard where we were to be trained and taught about brahmacari life before flying out to the school...
I posed the question in the comments:

So Ian, this is Rama Ranson, just wondering if this Oxnard house
"Everyone laughed. After talking to Butler, we were sent to a sort of "prep-home" in Oxnard where we were to be trained and taught about brahmacari life before flying out to the school..."
Was this prep home the location on 1300 block of Offshore street in Oxnard, cited as the site of young Gauranga Giazzon's death in the local article.
I would then assume that he died being poorly supervised in a prep home for the boys school, and in turn his two brothers were shipped off to Baguio very shortly after this family tragedy. Trauma compounded with the sterile loveless cult indoctrination school.
As within this cult or most cults for that matter, the answer to ALL problems is to push the individual deeper into the indoctrination of the cult, just chant more and serve Chris Butler with greater dedication is the cure all problems solution which, in Mohana Giazzon's case, has seemed to be less than effective.
But again, the cult would never look at the poor troubled dude's problems as being in any way due to the influence, abuse and trauma of the cult, he is just seen as a wayward and lost person who couldn't hack it, his alcoholism and constant arrests are completely independent of his being raised in a "High Demand Closed Group" or cult.
