A member of this forum ask mewhy I lost faith in Bhaktivedanta ......here is one reason
[

this link is about the marriage of Bali Mardan .BALI MARDAN WIFE
This is the story of how Swami Bhaktivedanta was totally cheated by one of his close disciple BALI MARDAN
an old friend mine who took sanyasi with me in Australia in 1971
Bhaktivedanta gave him permission to get merried to LINDA because she was the billionaire heiress of TOYOTA
About the same time I ask Bhaktivedanta to get merried to my futur wife and mother of my 4 kids
I was told by his secretary that it was impossible ......because she had NO MONEY like LINDA
I got merried anyway
and Linda turn out to be a pennyless ex New York prostitute
for sometime Bali and Linda flew all over the world stayed in 5 stars hotels
and it was all money that BALI was stealing from the temple tresury
He eventually got discover when LINDA and him where eating chicken in the New York temple
as he was the president ......and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollrs
So Bhaktivedanta had a set of beleifs .......but if you had lots of money to offer him ....he would behave differently
he took millions $$ from heroin dealer Guru Kripa ...to build his vrindavan temple never asking where the money came from.
So for Butler to say that he is the only reprsentative of Bhaktivedanta .....is not very impressive to us that know the money grabbing side of Bhaktivedanta
