While I understand how nice it would be to have somebody in ISKCON aligned against Siddha's empire, it's NOT going to happen. ISKCON will remain stoked about Tulsi being in Congress because she identifies herself as part of their tradition. They do NOT care how crazy Siddha is. Thoyugh he is the link to Tulsi, that's okay with them. The people who need to be exposed to the re

In the 1970s on Kauai, I heard Siddha telling a group that the best a woman could hope for in this lifetime was to be reincarnated next lifetime as a man. So I was pretty surprised to hear there are now females being declared pure devotees. What brought about that change?

Actually, I smile every time I start watching a Wai Lana youtube video. (For obvious reasons, I have never finished watching one.) He really picked a winner, didn't he... Frozen fake smile, squeeky voice. A yoga teacher so chubby/out-of-shape that she has to wear all those blowsey, loose-fitting outfits. And why, given how long she's been in the U.S., does she still has such a thic

Thank you flash, thank you Eigener Herr. This is excellent. Let's get this youtube <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4IuZiAmRp8&feature=youtu.be>link</a> to the Honolulu Advertiser, KHON, etc. Why not to TPM who had the story about Tulsi & Sherbow. To the Hawaii Free Press, to Honolulu Civil Beat. This is the kind of thing that will help to wake up the Hawaiian

This forum has been trying to get people to wake up regarding Tulsi's connection to Chris Butler for years. And what has come of it? The people that need to be woken to reality are the electorate in Hawaii. That's where change will come from - she's now been elected to the US Congress! Seems to me the Hawaiian electorate is not listening. Look at the comments in Rui Kaneya

Being one of the least spiritual people to post here, I am free to wonder if Abhay Anthony (now calling himself Abraham Williams) wishes he could have married somebody with better skin...

Interesting perspective Vera City. What I have noticed though, is that the girls are still (and have always been) convinced of the "greatness" of their father - John Moore - Jivan Das. Now I'm sure all girls love their Daddy, etc. but if he's still a Butler elite, then there could still be strings attached. So I'm not sure how far outside the sway of Chris Butler they

Chris Butler has been using arranged marriages to get citizenship for devotees for over 40 years. Back when he was Siddha (actually Siddha Swarup Ananda Goswami LOL), he initiated my sister (at the time Debra Ann Figueroa - she became Devavani Dasi). In the early 1970s Siddha had her marry somebody named Buisson - she was Debra Ann Buisson for some time. I never met Buisson - never even knew
