Period. Another point is that out of 400 plus temples in ISKCON we have only two temples that are currently being 'stolen' by two anauthorised, rebellious, ritviks. And all under the name of reform. To the best of my knowledge the ISKCON legal team in India are working flat out trying to contain the situation and save the properties but unfortunately Adri and Madhu are expert legal manipulaters. But they have forgotten that Krishna is the best manipulater of all, and He will soon outsmart them. ys ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may disagree with their > actions, but what are your grounds for saying they're "external"? I say they are 'external", because their actions, as confirmed by the large majority of insiders who have left in disgust, show that they are clearly working for their own personal, material interest - control of property. They do not have any interest in the spiritual life of the devotees of the cities where they run their temples (it should be just enough so that they feel like donating money). Money collection and storage are the primary activities. Just the fact that they are making use of the press to try and blacken the name of Iskcon leaders, should be enough to prove that they are external. If they are insiders, where is the need for this, and how can they dream of performing some activity, which can bring disrepute not just to the Iskcon leaders, but also Srila Prabhupada's Iskcon also? However, I see everything backfiring on them in due course, because of their unending Vaishnava aparadhas. Anyone who feels like defending them should first talk to the 'escaped' inamtes. I feel sorry for those who are staying behind, because they are afraid they can't make a living outside. This is direct first hand information from those have endured (and escaped), or are enduring life there(helplessly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
