"Synopsis: When an Indian Swami gives a lost generation of Americans a new message of love, the Hare Krishna religion is born. But when the Swami dies without finishing his mission, an American Guru tries to seize control of the movement, leading to accusations of racketeering and murder, and the investigations by a West Virginia Sheriff’s Detective, the LAPD and the FBI. Krishnas: Gurus. Karma. Murder. gives a glimpse into the epic American tale about charismatic personalities that offer divine light, and Krishna devotees who discover their movement has been corrupted by greed, lust for power and vengeance."
"An intellectual look inside the insidious dynamic of cultic relationships where leaders achieve unconditional love, control over people's minds, bodies, and individual ethics."
Andrea Silverstone is a PhD Candidate at the University of Salford. She is conducting research to understand the cross contextual and co-occurring experiences of coercive control for individuals and to explore if across all contexts the experiences and impacts of coercive control are similar or even the same. In addition, this research seeks to explore the current interventions being offered for coercive control.
Her research is being supervised by Dr Rod Dubrow-Marshall and Dr Linda Dubrow-Marshall.
She is looking for individuals with lived experience of coercive control in more than one context to participate in her research.
Eligible participants will be over the age of 18 and have lived experience of coercive control in one or more context (i.e. domestic abuse and sexual exploitation, child abuse and cults, child abuse and sexual exploitation, etc.)
More information about this project can be found by following this link: https://forms.office.com/e/9yrXz1viuw
If you think you would be interested in participating, could you please contact Andrea at a.silv...@edu.saford.ac.uk or text or call me at +1 403 616 7673.
Participation in this study is fully anonymous and as such all results will be reported anonymously.
Andrea is looking to conduct interviews at a time of mutual convenience.
Please let her know if you have any questions or are interested in receiving a copy of the research when it is completed.
