Charged With Child Abuse
By
Prakashanand Saraswati, also known as Shree Swamiji, the 79-year-old founder of Barsana Dham, a 200-acre Hindu ashram complex outside Austin, Texas, has been charged with 20 counts of indecency with a child.
Saraswati is accused of groping two girls under the age of 17 between 1993 and 1996. Barsana Dham has denounced the allegations as groundless: “Shree Swamiji has dedicated his entire life to serving humanity and upholding the tenents of our faith. No one who knows him would ever believe he would do anything such as this.” |
