Disintegeration of our Society by internal fighting

[Guest guest]

We all agree something has to be done. But what to do? that is the question!

 

Adri is not going to listen to anyone and stop. Mayapur cannot keep quiet.

It has to defend ISKCON.

 

Now a kolkatta devotee says in the media that Mayapur is wanting its

properties. What nonsense! Just shows kolkatta doesn't consider itself part

of ISKCON. Adri thinks kolkatta centre is his private property.

 

Maybe the medical reports will clear everything. It beats me why a man

should kill himself if he is confident of being innocent. His suicide proves

that he is guilty.

 

Why can't someone interview the lady who made the rape complaint and give

it to the press? It could keep kolkatta quiet for some time. The initial

report said that when the lady went to collect her pension, she went along

with her son. Does the son not have anything to say?

 

Could we also know from ISKCON's legal team what is happening with the rtvik

case filed in court by Adri and Madhu? Why do we not get prior information

of all these things that happen from temple leaders. We get to know only

after it comes out in the papers.

 

And, what happened to the Communications office for India?

We can't have it both ways. If they need to be *expelled*, they must

be on the inside now. If they were truly "external", no expulsions

would be necessary. Personally, I think the fact that Adri and

Madhu Pandit were initiated as Prabhupada's disciple and

granddisciple, respectively, and both hold positions in ISKCON

definitely makes them insiders. You may disagree with their

actions, but what are your grounds for saying they're "external"?

 

Between the Calcutta lawsuit, the gurukula lawsuit, and this recent

case, I definitely agree with Nayana-ranjana prabhu that there is

cause for concern. The question is, what should we do? I keep hearing

calls for reforms, but have seen little in terms of practical steps

in that direction.
