So far, I have only been talking on one point: that a statement Srila Prabhupada made about Indian couples, in general, is still quite true to day, despite the changes India has undergone. > As a former brahmacari, I can state with full conviction that marriage is simply maya based on the bodily conception. Thus, it would appear that Indians are better at being in maya than non-Indians. Yep, that must be the purport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the same thing but am waiting for the official report for confirmation. Apparently it's been sent out to all TPs, but it's also available from the Office of Child Protection > >Is there a website where we can read the GBC's official report on the >trial proceedings? No, unfortunately the ISKCON lawyers decided that no further reports could be made available on the Web. I think they're concerned about possible slander lawsuits from the abusers. It's a backwards world in which we become more concerned about if the abusers will be upset than we are about how to let the public know so that we can keep them from harming any more chldren.
