Respected Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!! Hare Krishna!!!

I have been going through blogs regarding ISKCON websites for some days, and thought of writing this letter. Srila Prabhupada would say many a times, that whenever the devotees preaching are successful, the demons would become more and more destructive. This also happened in the case of brainwashing case in USA in 1976-1977. More we see demons getting furious at the preaching work of devotees, more they invite their fall down or death closer.

How will Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada spare those who are just blindly being guided by devotees who are just after properties and women? IBDA website is just full of non-authentic, baseless allegations against senior management of Hare Krishna Hill devotees. Many of us have a feeling that all these stories have been cooked up by fallout devotees just to shake the faith of young FOLK devotees.

The anti-ISKCON Bangalore group has not done any preaching and are poaching on the young devotees who have been inspired from Hare Krishna Hill youth programs, just to shake their delicate faith. It is my open appeal to all my FOLK friends that do not associate with anti-ISKCON Bangalore group devotees. Srila Prabhupada forbade his disciples not to associate with all those groups of Gaudiya Matha camps who were envious of him. It’s not that Srila Prabhupada was against them, but to save the bhakti-lata creeper of his disciples. ISKCON Bangalore is a great organization, which is getting purer and purer as time is passing by and as they are learning more and more about Srila Prabhupada’s instruction about running a worldwide organization. We have seen this change ourselves.

I was serving ISKCON Bangalore few years back, and things have wonderfully changed in these years. The newer devotees are full of energy and under purer guidance by the senior management of Hare Krishna Hill. It obviously takes time to learn from the past mistakes and rectify them when you are running a big organization. When the Hare Krishna Hill was under HH Jayapataka Maharaja, there were some malpractices, being carried out under Guru’s approval.

Obviously these guru themselves were bogus, so were their malpractices. So it took sometime to things to take a proper shape in ISKCON Bangalore at Hare Krishna Hill. Many of the devotees who were under mode of ignorance and passion left criticizing the temple authorities, but they could not understand the practical mood of senior management regarding preaching at the same time defending the Hare Krishna Hill devotees against the bogus gurus. We, as new generation devotees at Hare Krishna Hill (those who had been coming in touch with Srila Prabhupada after 1999), were brought up in a purer environment, and were carefully protected from the outside world of envious people who were dressed in saffron but wanted to imitate the position and power of Srila Prabhupada.

I request all the devotees to approach the post-1999 devotees and ask them about the culture of ISKCON Bangalore at Hare Krishna Hill, and you will understand by yourself how the potency of accepting Srila Prabhupada as the sole diksha guru of ISKCON works. It’s the Srila Prabhupada magic which is working. There are so many pre-1999 devotees around the place who will tell you so many stories of Temple building and telling stories of knowing Madhu Pandit Prabhu personally, they never knew his mood even though they may have been personally close to him.

Madhu Pandit Prabhu has taken an unprecedented step of re-establishing Srila Prabhupada as the sole acharya of ISKCON. Many of you may say that Lord Krishna or Srila Prabhupada themselves would rectify the problems in ISKCON, but then I ask one question. Are we supposed to just sit down and not make efforts for doing some service for Srila Prabhupada? Madhu Pandit Prabhu is a great person and a very capable as far as management of a big organization is concerned. He is soft at heart, yet bold enough to take steps to rectify devotee’s mistakes. Just to give you an example, I myself was asked to go alongwith my parents from the temple as I was shouting on the devotees (that was the biggest mistake in my life). Had I not been removed from temple, I would have created so many Vaishanva aparadhas against sincere Vaishnavas and would have suffered more and more in this life and as well as in coming ones. So, Madhu Pandit Prabhu saved me by punishing me. And I know of so many of pre-1999 devotees who also left temple, but it all happened for their own good. I would not like to take their personal names, but none of us who left the temple were purer than others who were inside.

The other camp people would cook up so many stories against our temple management. What to say about Radhey Shayam Prabhu and other devotees at ISKCON Pune? I had to hear nonsense blasphemy against Hare Krishna management for hours together. While on the train, Vibhava Krishna Prabhu spoke so many things irrelevantly about Madhu Pandit Prabhu. Believe me, all these people are blinded by their bogus gurus, who shower them with nonsensical blessings and praise for destroying the preaching activities at Hare Krishna Hill.

And people are so crazy that they want living Guru. Srila Prabhupada’s vani is enough for us, as he desired in July 1977? Now these people, after becoming crazy after living guru, after some time they will become crazy by asking for living KRSNA. I pray to all my FOLK friends not to get deviated from pure path of Krishna Consciousness by following full-heartedly the Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.

If you associate with those who are envious of Hare Krishna Hill management, you might also have to give up the golden opportunity of serving sincere Vaishnavas, Srila Prabhupada, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga and Sri Sri Radha Krishna-chandra. Remember this will not happen by getting punished by senior devotees, but subtly by Srila Prabhupada and Paramatma. So I request you all not to disobey the valuable advice of seniors at Hare Krishna Hill. Please become devotees and disciples of Srila Prabhupada. Being direct disciples of Srila Prabhupada is not a monopoly of those who were born before 1978, but for every sincere soul who wishes to follow Srila Prabhupada’s orders till the end of Golden Age of Sankirtana in this Kali Yuga.

Hari Bol.

Your servant,

Bhakta Aniruddha.
