Enron Executive Leads a Double Life as a Hare Krishna Swami

Ex-Enron executive Gary K. Smith has been leading a double life. Monday through Friday he would head into his office at the notorious Enron Corporation and on weekends he would head over to a local Hare Krishna center to pose as his alter ego, Gulabjamunananda Swami, to receive worship from his disciples and spout Hare Krishna philosophy from a lavish jewel encrusted throne.

He had a special skin head wig with a pony tail on it custom made so he could disguise himself a as a Hindu holy man. His tailor would sew silk Hindu shirts for him in between orders for his Armani suits that he wore to work at his day job. His secret was discovered when his wife, who suspected he was having extramarital affairs (since she never saw him on weekends), had him followed by a private detective. The Krishnas thought that he was off preaching in the Pacific Rim during the week and jetting back and forth on his private Lear jet.

Authorities are now looking for Smith, who is wanted for questioning over the recent scandals at Enron. It is believed that he left the country for some unknown destination on his jet without filing the customary flight plans as expected. They are following leads at various Krishna communities around the globe where he could be hiding out. The FBI also is looking for him on account of huge quantities of illegal drugs found in a secret sub basement at his lavish Houston mansion.

Also discovered in the sub basement were several Texas prostitutes locked in various chambers who claim that Smith was holding them to be sold into slavery in harems over in Arab countries. One of them told reporters, 'He has this weird weekly ritual where he would make us jump into a big vat of sugar water and then proceed to lick it off of us, calling us his little gulab jamuns. Then he would make us chant Hare Krishna a hundred times and tell us all our sins had been wiped away.'

One of his disciples told the press in a recent interview, 'He kept using the Enron examples in his lectures, and it was getting more and more frequent up until his disappearance a few weeks ago. He also came into the temple with very sticky hands on Saturday morning, muttering something about 'naughty ladies' and then requesting a bowl of warm water to rinse them off in.'
