GREETINGS,

I HAVE NOT MET HIM, BUT HAVE KNOWN SOME OF HIS DISCIPLES YEARS AGO.
ONE YOUNG MAN TOLD ME OF BEING SEXUALLY FONDLED BY HIM
FOR 'HEALING'. NOW APPARENTLY NUMEROUS PRESENT YOUTHS AND FORMER
MOLESTED YOUTHS HAVE COME FORWARD TELLING OF YEARS PEDOPHILIA
COMMITTED BY HIM....CONFIRMING EXACTLY WHAT THE YOUNG MAN TOLD ME. I
HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY HIS DISCIOPLES THAT THEY HAVE WITNESSED HIS
SLIGHT-OF-HAND 'MIRACLES'. AT THE WORLD HINDU CONFERENCE AND OTHER
OCCASIONS OF CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH HINDU 'MIRACLE' WORKERS, I WAS
OFTEN ABLE TO DETECT THEIR TRICKERY. MOST OF IT WORKS BECAUSE OF
THEIR SUCCESSFUL ABILITY TO DISTRACT THEIR VIEWERS FROM THE REAL
CAUSE OF THE 'MIRACLE'.

SPEAKING OF 'MIRACLES', ABOUT A PREVIOUS POST HERE CONCERNING THE
LETTER BEHIND THE PICTURE...IF IT HAD A CLOTH OR PAPER BACKING ON IT,
AS MANY FRAMED PICTURES DO, A RAZOR SLICE COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO
CONSEAL THE LETTER, BY SLIPPING IT INSIDE OF THE FRAME, BEHIND THE
PICTURE UNDETECTED.

PRAYING FOR THE VICTIMS OF SUCH CHARLATANS AND MOLESTERS,

BHAKTI ANANDA GOSWAMI
