Book excerpt: The 1986 murder of Hare Krishna devotee Steven Bryant (Sulochan dasa) was arguably the darkest moment in the fifty-two year history of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness-a new branch of the Chaitanya-Bengali-Vaishnava religion founded in New York City in 1966 by an Indian spiritual teacher and guru, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977). A mere nine years after the disappearance of this beloved spiritual father, one of their own was hunted down and assassinated. This brutal killing was achieved through a cooperative effort by "spiritual" leaders, senior managers and hit men enforcers from West Virginia, Ohio, and Southern California ISKCON temples. The murdered whistle-blower had discovered many secrets and threatened to reveal to the world the immoral acts and criminal dealings of a set of self-appointed, illegitimate successors to Swami Prabhupada: a corrupt oligarchy of new ISKCON "gurus." He had also, perhaps foolishly, advocated using violence against the gurus to evict them from their posts. ISKCON leaders took his threats seriously, and they hunted down and assassinated the passionate reformer. How did the peaceful, shaven-headed, saffron-clad Hare Krishna devotees regress from their blissful activities of chanting, dancing, and selling incense in the streets to this? The author, himself a former ISKCON devotee, probes deeply into the disturbing direction of a new religious movement. In this book, he exposes the danger of philosophical errors and deranged devotion that practically ensured that bloody tragedy would eventually occur. The author has engaged in years of painstaking research by poring over tens of thousands of pages of trial transcripts, newspaper and magazine articles, ISKCON publications, and confidential ISKCON documents, while also interviewing dozens of eyewitnesses. His effort culminates in a thoroughly-engaging and extremely well-documented thesis exposing the hidden inside story of the conspiracy to murder Steven Bryant, including its genesis, development, blunders involved in it, execution, cover up, as well as a stunning aftermath after the deed was done.

Download or read book Murder Suicide written by Keith Russell Ablow, MD and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2005-06-13 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only forensic psychiatrist writing suspense, Keith Ablow is being hailed as the heir to Thomas Harris. Keith Ablow's novels delve deep into that dark and deadly place that Ablow, one of the nation's leading forensic psychiatrists, knows best: the psyche of a killer. Ablow has explored the catacombs of the criminal mind to find out what makes them tick, and he brings that expertise to his new novel, a chilling and emotionally compelling story of the lengths to which one man will go to leave his own life behind. In Murder Suicide, Ablow and his alter-ego, Dr. Frank Clevenger, return to take on a murder case like no other. John Snow is a brilliant inventor who has made millions from his genius in aeronautics. He has everything a man could desire: wealth, family, even a beautiful mistress. But he also has a brain disease, a rare form of epilepsy, that threatens his most valuable possession -- his mind. Only one doctor may be able to cure it surgically, but at a terrible cost, one that Snow reveals to no one: Snow will have no memory whatsoever of his past - of its emotional entanglements or its secrets. He will be abandoning everyone he has ever known. But the night before he is scheduled to undergo the operation, he is found near the Massachusetts General Hospital, dead of a gunshot wound. Did he commit suicide, as the police suspect - or was he murdered? Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Frank Clevenger delves into Snow's complex past and tortured relationships to unlock the identity of Snow's killer: Was it the wife who can never forgive what he's done to their child and their marriage, the son who loathes him, the beautiful mistress who loves him so deeply but can never have him, or the business partner intent on taking control of his inventions? Only Frank Clevenger can unlock the door to Snow's startling past. And only Keith Ablow can take readers even further into the mind of a killer.

Download or read book Killing for Keith written by Mark Whiteley and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Henry Doktorski's recent book called Killing For Krishna - The Danger Of Deranged Devotion, falls in the same category as ISKCON's biography of Srila Prabhupada. It is an offensive book of poisonous slander that is nicely sugar coated with false glorification, so that the foolish will swallow it and thus commit spiritual suicide. The only difference between the two books is that Killing For Krishna lacks any of the subtleness of ISKCON's biography. Doktorski's slander of Sulocana is totally gross and in your face, unlike Satsvarupa's slander of Prabhupada which has a more covert nature. The amazing thing is that so many "devotees" claiming to be Prabhupada followers praise this offensive book that slanders Sulocana on page after page!" (Mukunda dasa - Killing For Keith Chapter One) "Doktorski wants to pervert true history with his offensive books. It has been the standard sinister practice for the last 120 years for the demoniac to distort world history and Doktorski being cut from the same cloth tries to do the same with the history of ISKCON!" "This is why you have tried to use this "deranged devotion" as an equalising tactic. This is the driving force behind your slander of Sulocana prabhu. You cannot allow Sulocana to be recognised and glorified for who he truly is. If Sulocana is rightly celebrated as Prabhupada's perfect disciple then year after year as his glorious fame shall increase more and more, simultaneously the infamy of Kirtanananda shall also increase year after year of the golden age." (Mukunda dasa, Killing For Keith - Chapter Two - The Insidious Muddying Of Clear Waters)

Download or read book The Killing of History written by Keith Windschuttle and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For 2,500 years, since the time of Herodotus and Thucydides, historians have sought to record the truth about the past. Today, however, the discipline is suffering a potentially lethal attach from the rise to prominence of an array of French-inspired literary and social theories, each of which denies that truth and knowledge about the past are possible. These theories claim the central point on which history was founded no longer holds: there is no fundamental distinction between history and myth or between history and fiction." "Historians in classrooms from Berkeley to Paris have embraced these views, and an increasing number of literary critics and social theorists now feel free to define their own work as history and to call themselves historians. The result is revolutionary: historians have not only changed how history is taught, they are also increasingly obscuring the very facts on which the truth must be built. In The Killing of History, Keith Windschuttle offers both a devastating expose of the absurdity of these developments and a defense of the integrity of Western intellectual traditions which are now so widely attacked." "Windschuttle examines exactly what is being taught about Columbus' discovery of the New World; the history of asylums and prisons in Europe; the fall of Communism in 1989; and the Battle of Quebec in 1759. He offers a much needed defense of traditional history as a properly scientific endeavor and argues that the great works of history should still be regarded as among the finest forms of Western literature."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
