Long awaiting story of
Sriman Madhu pandit das and the GBC fight is going end soon as the Judgment day approaches very near. Both ISKCON Bangalore and ISKCON
Worldwide are waiting for a breakout but do you really know why they are
fighting? Is it a fight for right or fight for justice or fight for property?
In simple words, is it a fight for Lakshmi or Narayana?
Madhu Pandit Dasa |
First let me tell you frankly that this is not just a war on property but it’s a war against Prabhupada. ISKCON Bangalore follows all the methods properly but has failed to address few things to a common man which has made ISKCON Bangalore look guilty. However on the other side, ISKCON GBC has made lots and lots of mistakes which are visible but people fail to see it. Let me put this straight, ISKCON Bangalore was attacked time and again but none of their actions were public and ISKCON GBC guru issue was neither published nor preached until recently after all this fights.
ISKCON Bangalore’s unknown History
If you remember ISKCON
Bangalore’s first news was an attack on the whole temple charging them as
rapist and kidney stealers. The news also said that ISKCON Bangalore
brainwashes people and also about dead bodies found near Temple. This news made
the whole Bangalore think that ISKCON Bangalore was not a genuine temple and
frankly even I started to think the same at that time before I came in touch
with ISKCON’s culture. My best Guess in this matter is that ISKCON Mumbai
started to spread such kind of non-sense using a famous local tabloid “Hai
Bengalore” however I’m not sure because it’s a very old story but calculating
the time of Jai Pataka Swami being kicked out of the temple, it surely gives an
idea of alleged involvement.

ISKCON Bangalore was seen on
a global scale as so many celebrities, delegates and politicians started to
visit the Akshaya Patra program. The international Televisions like BBC, CNBC,
CNN and others covered a documentary on Akshaya Patra program. ISKCON Bangalore’s
culture also started to attract many people and influenced more than 10
thousand youths to attend the program called FOLK and even to this day FOLK
Program has been a success. The time came when the civil court of Bangalore upheld
the ISKCON Bangalore property issue. Jai Pataka Swami was the main person
behind the first ever property case of ISKCON Bangalore. However Bangalore won
the case easily because the documents provided by ISKCON Bangalore were standard.
I have seen the whole set of arguments and the original documents and I’m sure
that ISKCON Bangalore has an upper hand, but ISKCON Bangalore’s case did not go
on record as many of the news channels never got proper news. However on the
other side GBC filed a petition in Karnataka High Court challenging the civil
court verdict. They also filed Criminal contempt against Madhu Pandit Dasa on
the charges of corruption and forgery. Madhu Pandit Dasa won this case both in
high court and Supreme Court however ISKCON Bangalore’s property case was won
by Mumbai putting charges of missing documents and forgery. This is when ISKCON
Bangalore was shown as a duplicate iskcon and the results were devastating. ISKCON
Bangalore’s president was shown as a big thief and ISKCON GBC created lot of
news which kept on attacking ISKCON Bangalore’s standards. You know the story
from there as it’s been public so widely and even Wikipedia covers the news.
Till that time, ISKCON
Bangalore was silent because Bangalore wanted to keep it indoor but when Mumbai
went on public then only the Bangalore started to preach about ISKCON Guru Issues.
I believe ISKCON Bangalore was late to respond and as result ISKCON Bangalore
is seen as a corrupt society. ISKCON Bangalore reacted late which made Mumbai
take a step forward of attacking Madhu Pandit Dasa so openly that local media
covered it and repeated the story again and again. The debate was directly relayed
on the local news channels such as TV9 Kannada, News9, Suvarna News 24x7,
Janashri and many more. Even ISKCON Mumbai created a scene in front of ISKCON
Bangalore.
However in a very recent
times, ISKCON Bangalore helped media to cover a story on the ISKCON guru issue
to the local news English channel who covered most of the information. ISKCON
Bangalore should have done this very early but it’s never too late as the verdict
is on the way.
ISKCON Bangalore Pros and cons
Keeping in mind the upper
hand of ISKCON Bangalore I’m going to give some Perdition about what can
happen.
Minus Points against ISKCON Bangalore -
1. BBMP Records missing-
Some of the records of registration of the land has not been found or stolen
2. Forgery- The ISKCON Mumbai
records says that Madhu Pandit Das has signed and got government sealed on some
of the documents off record
3. ISKCON- ISKCON Society is
one and it should follow rules set by GBC according to the will of Prabhupada.
Plus Points against ISKCON Bangalore -
1. Documents- ISKCON
Bangalore has maintained a good set of documents to win the case.
2. Sub Registration- ISKCON
Bangalore land was registered before MPD became the president.
3. Off records- Records of
tax and accounts have been perfectly rectified.
4. The Akshaya Patra
Program- NGO run by ISKCON is registered separately but it can make Supreme
Court think once again about the issue as the main kitchen of Akshaya Patra is
located on the same land.
ISKCON TRUTH Perditions-
Judgment 1: ISKCON Bangalore
is an independent body and ISKCON Mumbai should not interfere in any matters
with them
Judgment 2: ISKCON Mumbai is
the owner of ISKCON Bangalore
Judgment 3: ISKCON Mumbai is
the owner of ISKCON Bangalore. Statuesque should be maintained but ISKCON
Bangalore should follow the rules set but the GBC of Mumbai
Judgment 4: ISKCON Mumbai is
the owner of ISKCON Bangalore. But Akshaya Patra should run as it is as well as
Madhu Pandit Das should remain the president for the following period of time.
Judgment 5: ISKCON Bangalore
is an independent body however it should follow the rules set by GBC as they
come under the ISKCON Society Branch
So let’s hope for the best
and let’s hope truth wins.
