November 24, 2022
Dear ISKCON Devotees and Friends,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC) expresses our heartfelt pain and deep concern upon learning of the abuse of some of our members and children as documented in the October 28, 2022 report of the ISKCON International Child Protection Office (CPO).
The report ascertains that Bhakti Vidya Purna Swami, aka Alan Ross Wexler, now to be known as Anirdesya Vapu dasa, repeatedly engaged in the sexual abuse of a minor girl, as well as other forms of sexual harassment, emotional and psychological abuse of minors, and also engaged in sexual acts with an adult woman. He has admitted to some of these grave offences while under investigation.
