Before joining the Hare Krishna cult, PLEASE independently research the history of their founder "Prabhupada". There are countless examples of blatant bigotry, sexism, homophobia, racism, etc. This is information NOT provided to members when they are thinking of joining but it is only right for "devotees" to know the truth about their founder who they worship as "good as god".
quotes from Hare Krishna cult founder AC Bhaktivedanta Swami:
“In this regard, the word vikhyatam is very significant. A man is always famous for his aggression toward a beautiful woman, and such aggression is sometimes considered rαpe. Although rape is not legally allowed, it is a fact that a woman likes a man who is very expert at rαpe.”
“Generally, when a woman is attacked by a man–whether her husband or some other man–she enjoys the attack, being too lusty.”
"When a husbandless woman is attacked by an aggressive man, she takes his action to be mercy.”
"Prabhupada: “Yes, that is law always. Rαpe means without consent, sex. Otherwise there is no rαpe. There was a rαpe case in Calcutta, and the lawyer was very intelligent. He some way or other made the woman admit, ‘Yes, I felt happiness.’ So he was released. ‘Here is consent.’ And that’s a fact. Because after all, sex, rαpe or no rαpe, they will feel some pleasure. So the lawyer by hook and crook made the woman agree, ‘Yes, I felt some pleasure.’ ‘Now, there is consent.’ So he was released. After all, it is an itching sensation. So either by force or by willingly, if there is itching, everyone feels relieved itching it. That’s a psychology. It is not that the woman do not like rαpe. They like sometimes. They willingly. That is the psychology. Outwardly they show some displeasure, but inwardly they do not. This is the psychology.” (Morning Walk — May 11, 1975, Perth)
