How can I find this video. Need help to convince my daughter, who is home and a mess after 5 years of living in one of their communes? I need what ever I can find and I am not finding a lot. A desperate mother. suziQuote

I found the video tape of Chris Butler preaching to his devotees absolutely disgusting. He was so arrogant, condescending, judgemental, even anti-Christian, that I found it hard to believe this quiet, seemingly kind man who was my meditation teacher would listen to a word he said (little did I know at the time about mind control). When the camera panned the audience, there was my teacher, obviously many years younger, meaning he had been a devotee for quite a while.
The teacher wasn't living an ascetic's life ,but he wasn't well off. Chris Butler, however, lives in a mansion while his devotees work for nothing in their communities. For several weeks, I was the only person in the class, and he was paying to rent the room we used, and not asking for money. Nice set of double standards.
I am desperatly looking for information of JagadQuote

I am one of Jagad Guru's original initiated diciples. I was with his group for 12 years from the age of 19 to 31. I notice that this post is 2 years old. If anyone still has questions, I will be happy to answer. There are many misconceptions as well as some truths in these posts. I know who was really there. I kept a lot of letters, photographs, recordings, writings and documentation for years. I regret throwing it all away when I returned to my Jewish roots. So now much of what I tell is heresay unless confirmed by other sources. I've often thought of writing a book.
If Malika is still looking for stories about her father, Bruce Butler, I knew him.

I encourage any follower or ex-follower who has recent information about Siddhaswarupananda Paramahansa - aka- Siddha - aka - Chris Butler - aka - Prabhupad to please come forward and post. If you have witnessed anything that has not sat well in your heart or mind, let it out. I know how difficult this is, but there is happiness and life after Prabhupad. Many of us regret wasting so many years in silence and doubt having ignored our own intuition. You can post anonymously and safely here.
If you want to share older information, you are also encouraged to post those experiences as well.[/b]
