Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila
Prabhupada!
Hridayananda Dasa Goswami (Howard Resnick) is expected to arrive
here in Detroit shortly. I read the following texts at
http://www.vnn.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000030.html and would like to
know if anyone has any further information on these eye-witness
accounts.
Who is Nitai?
Is he a reliable witness?
Does anyone else have any information pertaining to the
information which he is revealing?

Hare Krishna, all glories to the sincier devotees! Since there
have been a number of postings on fallen gurus in the forums,
I'd like to complete the list, so that devotees are warned. Not
to long ago I have been with Howard Resnick, also known as
Hridayananda dasa Goswami. I was just next to him when he
repeatedly asked one of his lady disciples, "Do you want my
mercy? Do you want my mercy?" until he got her attention and she
replied, "Yes, Srila Acaryadev!" Then they both went into a room
and closed the door behind them. Some minutes later I passed by
that room and he came out and told me not to go into that room
now because that lady had to do something in there. A few
moments later I passed by that room again and saw how that lady
was fixing her sari as if it had been deranged. Judging from
this and from some other experiences that I had it looks like
the guy is having sex with his disciples and they think it is
his 'mercy'. 'Impossible!', some will claim? No, we have seen so
many of this guys who claimed to be great leaders do crazy
things when they knew nobody was watching. Somebody should take
some of his female disciples and ask them in front of the
deities if this is true or not. Lets see what they say. I am
sure they have been trained by Hridayananda to lie, and I am
also sure that most of this ladies are innocent, but still this
has to be brought to the attention of the vaishnavas. Enough is
enough!

Sure we want proof on these things. At the same time it is an
important issue and if there are several indications for some
thing like this we should try to find out as I suggested - ask
some of his disciples in front of the deities. An other time I
saw some lady's underpens lying in his bathroom. How are you
going to explain that? Believe me, I am not making judgments
because of superficial observations. Hare
Krishna
