Without the media we would not know of other people’s sufferings so I have a different perspective to reply here; although I do concur that such reports of atrocities to babies at be completely fabricated to promote a a certain narrative and viewpoint. I saw that a lot here in the states with fake news to keep Trump in power. And I’m quite sure it happens in other countries as well, especially those in which freedom of views and reporting is not allowed.

I thought it might interest some of you that though Brother Bhaktananda was considered ‘the highest monk on the hill’ by Brother Turiyananda and others… I was there at the Hollywood Temple in the mornings sometimes and saw him reading the newspaper 🗞️ to apparently be aware of world events. I also found that the Brothers and monks of SRF quite informed and often quoted the news media when giving their sermons.
