How to respond to unfavourable press propoganda

[Guest guest]

SP to Yasomatinandana (Honolulu, 26 May, 1976)

 

We have published so many books to explain our viewpoint, and why we

should sit idly by and allow the press to unfairly take advantage of

such a situation to misrepresent the Hare Krishna Movement. In any case,

the movement cannot be judged simply by the activities of some

individuals*, but these men were not in our camp and still the press took

unfair notice of all the facts. We should demand at least equal time from

the press to explain the entire situation clearly, and when necessary we should

file suit against such newspapers in order that things are not distorted.

 

Letter to: All Temple Presidents (Honolulu, 6 February, 1975)

 

By unfair and slanderous newspaper and television propaganda, they have

ruined our reputation and turned the general public against our movement.

We cannot sit down and be idle.

Yes, whenever strong and probable false statements are made against

ISKCON are made, we can take defamation case against them.
