REPEATED MOCKERY OF ISKCON LAW

---------------------------

Dear Maharaja(s)/Prabhu(s),

 

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

All glories to ISKCON, Lord Caitanya's sankirtan movement.

 

On behalf of the Bangalore ISKCON Sri Jagannath Mandir congregation, I am

writing this letter with a heavy heart. 17th April 2001 will go down as a

shameful day in the history of ISKCON Bangalore. Madhu Pandit Das finally

did what we had anticipated about all this time.He openly performed a

Ritvik initiation ceremony in ISKCON,Hare Krishna hill where 50 candidates

were "INITIATED", given names and proclaimed Srila Prabhupada disciples.

 

Needless to mention this is a gross and blatant flouting of Iskcon law.

This is not the first time he has treated Iskcon law like something meant

for kids to follow and not for him. Going back in time we realise that a

soft approach towards him when he began to deviate has only made him grow

from strength to strength and more determined than ever to throw the baby

out with the bath water and spread the ugly cancer of Ritvik vada.

 

We have been saying this earlier.Please trust our judgement since we have

been closely associated with him and know him better than visiting

peace maker devotees.In our opinion peace moves are FUTILE and only give him

the impression that the GBC and Iskcon Bureau are ineffective and he can do

what he wants .

 

There is absolutely no authority above him. He is the unchallenged supremo

of ISKCON, Hare Krishna Hill. He can trample on Iskcon law with hob nailed

boots so to speak. He has made a mockery of Srila Prabhupada's teachings,he

has scoffed at and insulted Iskcon authorities time and again and the best

part is he has got away SCOT FREE.He has even used official ISKCON

machinery(IWR,monthly newsletter sent to life members) to denounce and

defame ISKCON authorities.

 

While appreciating the Iskcon authorities like the GBC and the Iskcon Bureau

for their wonderful devotional qualities like tolerance and their wonderful

preaching activities all over the world we humbly beg for STRINGENT and

STERN action against Madhu Pandit dasa and company. One devotee on Hare

Krsna Hill actually expressed"the GBC are spineless".

 

His impudence has reached such a height that GBC's like HG Ravindra Svarupa

Prabhu and HH KaviChandra Swami have been denied stay in the temple thereby

giving the message that Hare Krishna hill is his undisturbed "PERSONAL

PROPERTY".

 

We are allowing one stubborn person to hijack Iskcon temple property,wealth

innocent devotees etc. He is laughing all the way to the bank and to Ritvik

initiation ceremonies and doling out names and beads to all and sundry. He

has expressed that such ceremonies will be held at regular intervals and

"Srila Prabhupada disciples " will expand on the face of this earth. At the

rate of 50 people taking such initiations per month, we will have 600 such

ritvik vadis every year spreading this disease all over the society by their

interaction with other centers.

 

Please consider the confusion and chaos this is going to cause in the

society and specially in Bangalore. Please consider the ruination of

spiritual lives of many due to hearing,believing and further expressing

offences against Iskcon authorities.

 

Preaching in Bangalore has been an uphill task since the Ritvik epidemic

broke out. Now it is going to be even more difficult. Are we going to

allow this cancer to spread? Medicines haven't worked. Isn't it time for

some surgery?

 

The so called peace moves of Madhu Pandit dasa in our humble opinion are a

big FARCE and totally one sided.The goodness of the peace committee is

being exploited and they are being DECEIVED.The time has arrived for the

war bugles to be blown and swift,stern and serious action to be taken so

that a precedent will be set.No temple president in the future will dare

such impudence.

 

On the other hand lack of action will encourage independence and an attitude

of "anyone can do anything in ISKCON".As a precedent if we tolerate one

Madhu pandit dasa,then we shall see many such apa-sampradaya in our society.

 

Please forgive me for any offences committed in writing this letter. Looking

forward to some quick action.

 

Yours in the service of Sri Guru and Gauranga.

 

Your servant,

Anukulya Keshava Das
