Mercy killing

 


I´m not that interested in Hare Krishna gossip, but I linked to other content about this particular conspiracy theory before: the dark notion that ISKCON founder-acharya Prabhupada was actually murdered by his own devotees (or rather devotees gone rogue). 

Here, the supposed murderer is even named (I believe he is now deceased). According to a taped conversation with the suspect, Prabhupada requested poison to kill himself during his last illness. The "Truth Committee" behind this YouTube video will have none of it, claiming that the man killed the founder-acharya in cold blood, presumably on behalf of the "false gurus" who took over the ISKCON after him.

Counter-cultists will probably point out that all the problems the Hare Krishna "truthers" blame on the post-Prabhupada leadership existed already during Prabhupada´s lifetime, although I suppose it´s possible that the ISKCON was in some theological sense more "orthodox" before his death...
