US Hindu Leader charged with groping underage girls


The founder of the Barsana Dham Hindu temple in Hays County has been arrested in Washington, D.C., after being accused of groping two underage girls on several occasions in the 1990s.

Prakashanand Saraswati, 79, was taken into custody by U.S. marshals Thursday afternoon. Saraswati is in custody in Alexandria, Va., according to the Hays County sheriff’s office.
“He’s waived extradition, and arrangements are being made to bring him back to Hays County,” where he has been charged with 20 counts of indecency with children, sheriff’s office spokesman Leroy Opiela said.

The charges stem from an investigation that began in August, sheriff’s officials said.

Saraswati had just returned from receiving medical care in Europe when he was arrested at Dulles Airport in Washington, temple Vice President Prabhakari Devi said.

According to his indictment, Saraswati, known as Shree Swamiji to his followers, is accused of groping one girl on 10 occasions between 1993 and 1994 and groping another girl on 10 occasions between 1995 and 1996. Both were younger than 17 at the time, according to the indictment.

“We are shocked and saddened that anyone would make such outrageous claims and are confident that these charges will be proven to be false, if this case ever gets to a court of law,” Devi said. “Shree Swamiji has dedicated his life to helping people.”

Saraswati’s attorney, Don Flanary, declined to comment on the case.

Barsana Dham bears the name of a holy spot in northern India that closely resembles the Texas Hill Country.

One of the largest Hindu temples in the United States, the 35,000-square-foot complex sits on 200 acres off RM 1826 in Hays County near the Salt Lick barbecue restaurant in Driftwood.

Members have been living at the ashram — or spiritual retreat center — since 1990, practicing Saraswati’s philosophy of “divine love consciousness” based on ancient Hindu texts. The temple opened in 1995 and features ornate carvings, a blue ceiling painted with white clouds and life-size figures of Radha, a feminine representation of God.

Hundreds attend worship every Sunday at Barsana Dham, Devi said.

Fifty people, none of whom are minors, live at the temple, Devi said.

The Web site describes Saraswati as the foremost disciple of Jagadguru Kripaluji Maharaj, a prominent Hindu religious leader. Kripaluji has faced rape charges in India and Trinidad, although the charges against him were later dropped.

“We have no idea as to why someone would make allegations like this against two such esteemed and spiritual men,” Devi said.

According to the Barsana Dham Web site, Saraswati was born in India in 1929. He has overseen the development of several charitable hospitals in India and has led the creation of Hindu centers and temples around the world.

Saraswati is a world-renowned Hindu scholar and is the author of several books on Hinduism, Devi said.

“He is the founder and guiding light and preceptor for thousands and thousands of people,” Devi said. “He is a very important figure in Texas and in America.”

The temple reaches out to teach others about Hinduism and India. Its leaders are regularly invited to speak at churches, civic groups, schools and universities, as well as lead tours of the temple and its facilities.

In spite of the allegations, Devi said the temple’s Barsana Dham Mela Indian Fair, which features Indian food and live music, will go on as scheduled today.

No one there has done anything wrong, she said, “so nothing will change here.”

A Russian Orthodox monastery in Blanco County also came under fire in recent years for allegations that monks abused young boys there.

Founder Samuel Greene committed suicide on the monastery grounds in September. One monk has been convicted and sentenced to 80 years in prison for sexual abuse; three others await trial.

Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

Born Jan. 15, 1929, in Ayodhya, India, and became a monk at the age of 20. He spent the next 20 years engaged in an inner spiritual journey that demanded complete isolation. He lived in caves with no possessions until 1972, when he began teaching. He now has centers and ashrams all over the world, and though he still travels frequently, the Barsana Dham retreat, founded in 1990, is his home when he is in the United States.

BHUBANESWAR – A man in Orissa’s Bhadrak district has been arrested for allegedly raping his daughter for over a decade and forcing her to undergo seve

Sex addiction of some Indian Celebrities
BHUBANESWAR – A man in Orissa’s Bhadrak district has been arrested for allegedly raping his daughter for over a decade and forcing her to undergo several abortions over the years, police said Monday.

Bishnumohan Panda, a 58-year-old resident of Rajgurupur village, was arrested after his daughter complained to the police Saturday with the help of villagers, said Damodar Mohapatra, in charge of the police station in the village. The 32-year-old victim, who is now married and has two children, alleged that her father first sexually exploited her when she was studying in Class 9 and continued to do so for years, threatening her with dire consequences if she complained to anyone.

“Though my father later married me off to a poor man, he wanted my husband and me to stay at his home so that he could exploit me further,” the victims said in her complaint. “She also alleged that she was forced to undergo many abortions by her father in the past,” Mohapatra told IANS.

Sex addiction of some Indian Celebrities


In April 2007, Jayalakshmi, a nurse from Bangalore attempted suicide following endless sexual harassment by M P Renukacharya, a Hindu extremist party (BJP) legislator and the Chairman of the Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. She later released the pictures and videos of the sexual assault in front of the media.
In the same period , a quantity of locally-made Viagra and sex stimulants were recovered from the baggage of a senior Parliament Member of BJP. Babubhai Katara was arrested at Delhi airport for trying to fly with a woman and teenager to Toronto on the diplomatic passports of his family. He was arrested with one Paramjeet Kaur and a 15-year-old boy, Amarjeet Singh, who were posing as his wife and son.

According to specialists, sex addiction can involve a wide variety of practices. A large number of sex addicts say their unacceptable sexual practices have been the result of a gradual process.

It may have started with an unhealthy relationship, but over the years deteriorated to include compulsive behaviour which is frequently damaging.

Psychologist Sujendra Prakash says he’s come across several cases of happily married men who are addicted to sex. “They are rarely caught,”he says. “This may be because they are not celebrities, but social restrictions in our society mean that much is kept under wraps.”

According to him, “Those who display such behaviour are highly insecure people, mostly uncertain of their potency. They are are not good in bed. They indulge in promiscuous sexual activity to keep proving themselves. Their life is a lie and they lie to everybody. It is just like any other personality disorder and cannot be easily overcome.”

Experts also feel that sex addicts gain very little pleasure from actual physical contact. Yet they engage in sexual activities they don’t enjoy because they are trying to alter their own mood, and to anaesthetise painful feelings of low self-esteem or loneliness. “In our society, sex addicts are forced to wear a mask; they may appear harmless, but a lot is going on in their minds,”explains counsellor Ian Faria.

On whether this is a only male pre-occupation, Sujendra Prakash says, “Nymphomania exists more in literature than in the real world. While men are addicted to sex, women are addicted to love. But there are women who are aware that sex is a weak point for men and may use this to their advantage.”

As for solutions, psychologist Karun Mathews says, “Intense counsellings and sessions with psychologists or psychiatrists is recommended.

In the west, Sex Addicts Anonymous, based on the template of Alcoholics Anonymous, has been doing some amazing work.”But unlike alcohol or drug addiction, where the ‘just say no’ mantra is clear-cut, recovering from sexual addiction is not so straightforward.

Bangladesh Women, Bangladesh girls, Bangladesh singles ...

In a sensational disclosure of 2004, noted Tamil writer Anuradha Ramanan has alleged that Hindu pontiff, Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati attempted to sexually abuse her in 1992. He was arrested with his junior, Vijayendra Saraswati in their alleged involvement in Shankara Raman murder case. The matter is still pending before the court. As many as 24 people are accused in the case which pertains to the murder of the manager of Varadaraja Perumal temple in Kanchipuram.

While the Hindu seer dated more with RSS boys, his behavior may just tip the scales to classify him as a sex addict. RSS don’t promote marriage and sexual intercourse as a concept to build a family. Instead they believe in Sangh Parivar, the brotherhood of Hindu extremism and the front end leaders are compelled to live as bachelors in public life
