EXTRACT OF ADDRESS BY BHAVANANDA GOSWAMI TO HIS AMERICAN DISCIPLES
Brooklyn, N.Y., August 21, 1985

"[...] at a certain time in my life as a guru and GBC man in ISKCON, from around 1980 to 1982 I experienced severe problems with my spiritual life and I
fell down many times. In the past few years I'd overcome that, but there was still or still are symptoms, external symptoms, that something internally is wrong.
In other words, I developed a spirit of enjoyment, an enjoying spirit. [...] Of course I .had hoped that these falldowns would not be known, but in our Society there are no secrets, because you can't keep a secret from Krsna.

[...]
Anyway, everything was going along, and we came to this meeting in NewVrindavan [...] at this meeting it was presented to me that someone had testified that I had approached them for sex in Vrindavan in 1980 and I went to Ba1avanta and Rupanuga and Tamal Krsna Prabhus and told them, yes that was right, It was true."
