Stop Blaming the Victim

by SriMukunda dasa

Posted June 6, 2006

Namacarya das should be ashamed of himself to write such a letter about the Gurukulis at this time of Ananda's suicide. I offer my condolences to Ananda's family and friends and to all the Gurukulis who have been abused and have suffered at the hands of ISKCON. Chakra should be ashamed to have posted such a letter. As a parent, I know it is common in ISKCON to "Blame the Victim." Obviously Chakra also feels the need to reinforce the "blame the victim" philosophy to their readers.
