This is Haladhara d.'s farewell letter to the Berlin Hindu community ( see also 9. Letter from Haladhara das to Paramadvaiti Maharaja ) , which he has led for over 25 years during which he has been often attacked for his critical views on BAP. For years he has been constructively critical of BAP's increasingly questionable leadership style, which has been incapable of accepting this well-meaning criticism.

He gave me initiation that year and became my Guru or spiritual master. I spent one of the most beautiful years of my life, I am happy and grateful to have had that experience. One night, after one of his lectures during his visit to Santiago de

In response to Pariksit's audio, Sita d.d. from Ecuador came forward with her own experience. Sita d.d. was sexually assaulted by Paramadvaiti Maharaja in India. While addressing Paramadvaiti Maharaja directly, Sita's voice turns tearful and broken:  "Please think of the hearts of the people you have touched with your tireless preaching for over 40 years, and who are now confused, hurt, and helpless. Apologize from the heart, amend, since at this time there is no coherence between what you have preached and what is happening." September 2019 Hare Krishna P. Pariksit. I wanted to send you my most respectful obeisances for having the courage to make audios about the situation that is being experienced in the Vrinda Mission in relation to Guru Maharaj. I send you this audio with the only desire to validate your words, without the intention of harming anyone, but with the intention of saying that what you have manifested in the audios regarding the inappr
