VERY INTERESTING PIECE OF INFORMATION/ NEWS!! PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS
ISKCON Mayapur, ISKCON Mumbai and ISKCON Delhi also have several trusts functioning in their premises engaged in commercial activities. ISKCON Mayapur floated several trusts, nearly fifty of them, foolishly for the purpose of illegally circumventing the land ceiling laws of the West Bengal Government, where no single trust can hold more than about twenty acres of land. In fact, all the Mayapur lands, except a few acres surrounding where the temple is being built, are all now under the control of the West Bengal Government. The Government has found out that they have bought these lands in the name of these trusts just to circumvent the Land Ceiling Act. It is a big mess.
All the millions of dollars of BBT money that went into buying about 500 acres of land in Mayapur is under threat of seizure, if not already seized on paper by the Government. It is because of this goof up that the main temple is being built in the clear land in the name of ISKCON, the old fountain and park area, and not where it was planned.
Are the worldwide devotees aware of this failure of the GBC body in practically losing millions of dollars of BBT money donated to Mayapur during Harikesh's time to buy these lands, just by their foolish strategy? You cannot float trusts as a strategy to evade state laws. Sooner or later one will be caught. Even the source of funds for these lands are under scrutiny by government authorities

In India with corruption of officials and judges anything was/is possible. But of course in the end someone is caught as others become envious and press for action. This is "karma-bhumi" and cheaters in the end are also cheated. ISKCON's land department became notorious
ReplyDeleteYou want to criticize someones sincere attempt to take back what rightfully belongs to Krishna in the first place, your the fool!
ReplyDeleteAnd while the GBC spends $15,000,000, ok millions on lawsuits, many of the USA temples here in America are suffering badly from financial problems, for example cannot fix the plumbing and so on, because all the money is being used to make huge mansions for the GBC's lawyers. ys pd
