Just before Prabhupada’s death in 1977, the spiritual leader named a series of “gurus” who would continue his uppdrag around the world.
Ham was named as one of the gurus and bygd 1980 New Vrindaban had become one of the largest Hare Krishna centers in the world, which only gave Ham more power over the followers.
After a group of dock came on the property looking for one of their daughters, Ham became more stridbar and enlisted the help of följare and Vietnam veteran Thomas Drescher, also known as Tirtha, to provide protection.
According to Tom Westfall, a former detective sergeant with Marshall County, by the time he arrived on the farm, Drescher already had a criminal record involving past situations where “violence was used.”
Another New Vrindaban devotee that Ham often relied on was Charles St. Denis, also known as Chakradara.
“He was a very tall man, very jolly, very cheerful, at the same time, very straightforward, fearless,” his son Bhima-Karma

Sulocana Prabhu was murdered May 22nd, 1986, 1:00 a.m., Los Angeles, two days after publishing his book "THE GURU BUSINESS", which discribes how the Leaders of the Hare Krishna movement deviated from the pure path as taught and exemplified by its founder, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Sulocana was one of the first devotees to realize the complete hoax of the GBC policy to rubber-stamp eleven unqualified personalities as the exclusive 'diksa-guru' successors to Srila Prabhupada in 1977. Let us be quite clear that this policy was an unqualified lie as to the intentions of Srila Prabhupada post-samadhi 1977. As the eleven self-declared gurus "paramhamsa-parivakacaryas" established their zonal power centers by initiating anyone in sight and throwing out of ISKCON even the most slightly dissenting godbrothers, Sulocana researched Srila Prabhupada's statements and fearlessly wrote a book exposing this fraud in the name of disciplic succession.

The Heart’s Desire by His Divine Grace Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada
How can we find happiness that is not purchased with our pain?
Have you ever wished upon a shooting star or thrown a penny in a magic fountain? In the spiritual world there are trees called "desire trees," which can fulfill any desire. If you could have just one wish granted, what would it be? To be a Rockefeller? An Einstein? Miss America? The President? Wealth, fame, beauty, knowledge, and power are indeed very desirable under certain circumstances, but they are not ends in themselves. There is, however, one thing that we all want-to be happy. Every living being from Lord Brahma, the creator of this material world, down to the insignificant ant seeks his own pleasure.
Kirtananand Swami
But what is pleasure? One man's food is another man's poison, so the saying goes. Some people appear to have everything, yet they are miserable. We can all think of many cases of famous peo
