My apologies

Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja DAy.

 

My Dear Godbrother Jasomatinandana dasa,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I

have read you letter carefully and noted the contents. My comments are

given below.

 

I want to take this oppurtunity to offer my apologies for carelessly

stating:

 

> Adri made a big thing of this but instead Yasomati Nanda das is such a

> totally 100% blind follower of Adri that he can do anything and he won't

> object.

 

This was said because when I arrived in India in Mumbai everyone I talked to

there was commenting on how you had been talking on how Dayaram das and

ultimately myself had made a false rape case just to harrass Adri. I should

have phoned you up and questioned you about it. Please send me your phone

numbers so I can do so in the future in case need ever arises. I was upset

when I wrote this since I had just talked to the rape victim and was

emotionally upset seeing how this innocent village lady, my disciple, my

daughter, widow of my spiritual son had been put to so many difficulties and

instead of getting support from the local TP and other Indian leaders she

was being falsely accused.

 

I am grateful to you for explaining all the ways you don't agree with Adri.

It is reassuring and I appreciate it. At least now I know where you stand.

Everytime there was a vote it seemed like you supported Adri. It seemed

like you always believed his word over mine or Dayaram's whenever the topics

came up. What I said was: "Yasomati Nanda das is such a totally 100% blind

follower of Adri that he [Adri] can do anything and he [Yaso] won't object."

The stress was on Yaso not objecting to Adri's major crimes in public, but

instead objecting and accusing Dayaram das and myself. In any case now I

understand better. ACtually I didn't want to send that paragraph and was

going to delete it, but accidently the send button encrypted it and it

seemed to difficult to unencrypt it and remove it. I don't think what I

said was really that bad. It expressed my feelings of not getting any

support from Yaso and rather him giving all apparent support to Adri. Now

that Yaso Prabhu has clarified all his disagreements with Adri's ideas and

practices my respect for him has increased hundreds of times.

 

Having said that, I don't think I deserved the response I got from yaso.

Calling me as Mr. Jayapataka Swami, and so many heavy derogatory things. I

started to study how many negative things were said against me in response

to my one pale statement and I gave up after a while. I really would like

to say that I will avoid making this mistake again, but also it isn't fair

that Jaso Prabhu has made the extreme response he did. At this difficult

period we need to work together and resolve problems. I hope we can

establish a better working relationship and work cooperatively to bring a

lasting resolution to the problems we are facing in India.

 

So please Jasomatinandana Prabhu. Please forgive me for what I said if you

feel it is offensive. Your statements have clarified that you are not a

100% blind follower of Adri Dharan das.

 

ISKCON needs us to work cooperatively together. My motive is to please

Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Grace said that the more we can work

cooperatively together it will please him. So I want that we should please

Srila Prabhupada as I am sure you do too.

 

Your servant,

 

Jayapataka Swami
