Hari hara krishna case

Back then, members of the Hare Krishna faith — more formally known as ISKCON or the International Society of Krishna Consciousness — were mostly young, white hippies drawn to a new version of counterculture spirituality. They gave up their jobs and their homes and then gave up alcohol and drugs and extramarital sex. They went to live in remote communes and proselytized to strangers in airports. Today on the 50th anniversary of this homegrown religion, something remarkable has happened. After waves of migration to the United States from India over the past two decades, the vast majority of Hare Krishna’s believers in America are no longer white Americans. They’re Indian immigrants like the Ramkumars, who hold down regular jobs and drive to temples to worship, rather than live in communes. After that trip, Manoharan and Jeyabalan started chanting the Hare Krishna mantra at home. Now, they spend two hours every day repeating the three-word chant, praising Krishna over and over again. Hamsika makes an offering on the family altar each morning before skipping off to elementary school, and her 16-year-old sister, Sunethra, chants the Krishna mantra as a break from her SAT prep. Burke Rochford, a Middlebury College professor who has studied the Hare Krishna movement since 1975, said that like the Ramkumars, many of today’s Hare Krishna believers started out looking for Hindu temples like those they left behind in India. They soon discovered that Hare Krishna temples and centers w...

They have locked their apartment and have not been seen. A murder weapon Hari Hara Krishna purchased from a hypermarket five weeks ago was found in his bag, and he had allegedly discussed his intention to murder Naveen with his sister and brother-in-law, both of whom are physically challenged.

To receive free software for downloading photos, call 800-767-6781.) UNDATED — The Hare Krishna movement, one of the most controversial religious movements to emerge from the 1960s, has voluntarily detailed one of its darkest episode — the widespread abuse, sexual and otherwise, of children who attended the group’s boarding schools during the 1970s and 1980s. Until now, only limited knowledge of the abuse by some teachers, older students, supposedly celibate monks and other Hare Krishna leaders had dribbled out in court cases, media interviews with victims and academic writings. But in the latest issue of the biannual Hare Krishna publication ISKCON Communications Journal, two articles — one written by an outside academic with long experience studying the movement; the second by a member of the group — extensively detail the extent of the abuse. They also note the movement’s long delay in fully addressing the problem despite the acknowledged trauma suffered b...

Keith Ham, a suspect in a West Virginia murder case, was incorrectly identified Saturday as a Hare Krishna leader. Ham was expelled from the International Society for Krisshna Consciousness in 1987. (Published 5/30/90) MORGANTOWN, W.VA. -- The founder and leader of a Hare Krishna community was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday in an alleged scheme to murder, kidnap and beat his followers, authorities said. Keith Ham, 54, also known as Kirthanananda Swami Bhaktipada, was named on five counts of racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder and six counts of mail fraud. The indictment was handed up by a special grand jury in Elkins. One of the racketeering counts alleges a conspiracy involving the death of Stephen Bryant, a dissident member of the Krishna community who was shot on a Los Angeles street in May 1986. Thomas A. Drescher, a former resident of Bhaktipada's New Vrindaban community in Marshall County, has been charged with Bryant's death and is awaiting trial in Los Angeles. Bhaktipada was in Bombay and not immediately available for comment, according to Gadadhar Das, a New Vrindaban spokesman. "Bhaktipada will return to West Virginia within the next few days; that's all I can say," Gadadhar said. U.S. Attorney William Kolibash said the indictment was the result of a two-year probe into what had been one of the largest Krishna communities in the United States. Bhaktipada, the son of a Baptist minister, founded New Vrindaban, about 80 miles southwest of Pittsb...

HYDERABAD: Engineering student Hari Hara Krishna, who butchered his friend, N Naveen, for his alleged fling with his girlfriend, Niharika, was hooked to crime videos that could have triggered the brutal streak in him. Krishna had chopped Naveen’s fingers and private parts, ripped off his heart by cutting open the stomach and then beheaded him. During his custodial interrogation, police found Krishna’s grudge couldn’t justify the horrific nature of the crime. “With crime videos playing on his mind and a heavy intake of liquor could have blurred his senses to abnormal levels,” an investigator told TOI. It took him over two hours to mutilate Naveen’s body, before he carried the mutilated parts to the house of a friend, P Hassan, and sought his help in disposing of the body. They kept the body at Manneguda. The next day, Krishna went to Niharika’s home and told her about the murder. “Hassan was guilty of erasing evidence and not informing cops about the murder. Niharika too came to know about the murder, but did not tip off police, which is an offence,” a cop said. Abdullapurmet police has moved a plea in local court, seeking custody of Niharika and Hassan to probe their roles .

"He is arrested and remanded. A petition will be filed before the court seeking his custody for further investigation. Once the custody is granted further probe will be done in the case including the crime scene reconstruction," said an official of Rachakonda police. On Sunday, the police examined the feed from the During interrogation, Krishna told the police that he was present near the body for a few hours and again visited the same spot to check if it was lying there. He had planned to shift it to conceal it but failed in his plan. Police said Krishna was plotting the murder for at least two months after he realized Naveen was in touch with his girlfriend through calls. The trio has known each other from their intermediate days. The girl was in a relationship with Naveen, but they broke up. She became friends with Krishna and entered into a relationship with him, police said.
