In response to the letter received from Tirtha in prison: After minimal logical deductions, we find these few items: Disciple Tirtha swami has implicated his current guru, Radhanath, in murder.
First, Tirtha confesses publicly for the first time to the Sulochana murder.
Second, he dates the conspiracy to a time prior to Kirtanananda Swami's recovery and therefore "possible involvement".
Third, he shows no remorse for what he's done, rather he boasts about it. His guru, as yet, remains unable to convince him that “this was a bad thing, Tommy!".
Fourth, he states that he covered for the other members of the conspiracy, including the "higher ups, since this was clearly not the brains of any operation.
He additionally admits to having himself and his paraphernalia chauffeured around while he tried to find Sulochana so that he could kill him.
Then he threatens repercussions if the subject of Radhanath's behavior is not kept out of the limelight.
And finally, he ends his ad hominem abusive diatribe with a snitch to the authorities about an alleged home grown medical marijuana user, outside of a state that allows it.
Tirtha here is being used as a shill by his financial supporters for their legalization of marijuana agenda at New Vrindaban. Marijuana sales by former and present community members are the leading source of income in the communal economy, even surpassing donations from the Indian community. Only Louisiana, in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, kept West Virginia from its traditional doormat position as the most economically devastated state. Still, "two cars in every household", "what dish network do you subscribe to?", and abundant paychecks for elite ISKCON managers are the prevailing concerns amid rising pressures for management to assign the helm to a next generation.
Of corrupt politicians, Srila Prabhupada has said "they hang on until the fag end of life!" The warning is thereby posted. If management is not properly ceded to a next generation of Srila Prabhupada's disciples, ISKCON, as it was, will necessarily cease to exist. In kind of a childish – "I know something you do that is wrong" mentality, Tirtha offers us that "two wrongs do in fact make a right". We wish them, he and his gurus, all the best in resolving their dilemmas.
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!
