Lokanath’s Vyasa Puja

July 20, 2021

This Vyasa Puja worship of Lokanath Swami is proof that a man can molest a child and keep being worshipped with no repercussions.

This is what Lokanath Swami replied to his former disciple who questioned Lokanath Swami on both the child molestation and the excessive birthday worship:

“There is no labha, puja and pratishtha, profit, adoration and distinction. You have nothing to worry about. I am practicing tṛṇād api sunīcena – humility is at my command. I have been practising this humility with the blessings of Srila Prabhupad. No-one around me seems to be concerned.” – Lokanath Swami to Abhay Charan
