Bombay vs Bangalore Court Update / JPS Karma Load 12 18 23

JPS. Needs another few

$$$ millions for his endless court cases.

You guys already lost the hearts, minds and souls of probably 99 percent of the first and second generation of Vaishnavas. Even if you could win a court case, you will never get their hearts, minds and souls back. They are done with you guys. Worshiping an illicit sex with men, women and children guru parampara is just never going to be popular, ever. ys pd

Appeal for Dedicated Prayers –

Final Court Hearing in ISKCON India vs. Breakaway Bangalore Temple

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.We humbly reach out to you at the behest of the senior leaders of ISKCON India, led by Dayaram Das. Dayaram prabhu has served as ISKCON India's leader of legal affairs for decades, playing a crucial role in preserving and safeguarding ISKCON through various legal battles. To understand the current legal challenge ISKCON India faces, we urge you to watch a short video wherein Dayaram prabhu details the history of ISKCON’s ongoing court battle with a breakaway temple based in Bangalore. 

The video includes a call for special prayers for the successful resolution of the final chapter of this case. We appeal to you to respond to this call for prayer. It is noteworthy that in North America a similar attempt to usurp an ISKCON property and to even seize the original ISKCON corporation led to a legal battle that kept ISKCON in court, expending time and money, for almost twenty years.

By the Lord’s mercy, in October this year, the Nassau County Supreme Court of New York ruled in favor of ISKCON and the Governing Body Commission (GBC). We now pray for similar success in India. Both the New York and the India cases

involved former ISKCON devotees who had deviated from the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya by subscribing to a “ritvik theory,” or the false idea that Srila Prabhupada would continue to initiate disciples after his physical departure. 

Emboldened by that erroneous theory, the two breakaway groups tried to seize ISKCON properties, leading to these two court cases. Romapada Swami was appointed to lead the New York effort by the GBC. He directed the legal team and took personal responsibility to raise the funds required to win the case. 

Kuladri Das, North American Senior Administrator, assisted Maharaj in working closely with ISKCON attorneys during the entire 20-year case. Our fellow devotees in India are now earnestly seeking our assistance in preserving Srila Prabhupada's teachings and his properties in India. The India campaign seeks to gather 4,000 devotees to chant and pray special mantras to Lord Nrsimhadeva over the next three months, with the aim of ensuring that Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON remains a unified entity. 

The outcome of this “Bangalore case” holds significance for the ISKCON community worldwide. Therefore, we too, as leaders of ISKCON in North America, ask for your help.

Here's how you can contribute:

1. Watch the video by Dayaram here: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=o3bD11y6G6k

2. Sign up for your commitment to chant special prayers:

3. Print the provided card and mark it every time you offer your prayers.

4. Submit the completed card at the end of the specified time. More than once when Srila Prabhupada was facing a health crisis, he asked his devotees worldwide to chant special prayers calling for Lord Krishna’s mercy. This time, Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON faces a similar crisis, and we ask you to join this call to the Lord for His special protection.

PADA: Yeah except if the GBC loses, they will ask for another $20,000,000 to continue the case on appeal. Hey ISKCON Bangalore devotees! Just get 100 guys to picket in front of the court "Bangalore ISKCON Does Not Accept Homosexual and Pedophile Guru Lineages." And all this will be over in 72 hours. Once the press media goes after these clowns, the court would not dare rule in favor of a pedophile messiah's guru club. ys pd

Dear devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Guru Maharaj! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This is a clarification from the office of His Holiness Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj ( JPS Office) regarding initiations.

Lately many devotees have contacted us asking whether Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj has decided to stop giving initiations, whether such and such initiation is the last one, whether he has stopped giving shelter, etc.. There has been some misunderstanding about this and quotes from Srila Guru Maharaj's classes are posted on social media without proper context. This has caused confusion and panic among aspiring disciples and leaders.

To resolve this, recently we requested Guru Maharaj to clarify it in a letter. The following is his reply:

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your letter. Actually, the reason that people are confused... if I say something then I will put it in writing, or otherwise people speculate. Srila Prabhupada told me to make 50,000 disciples, but I actually made more than that. So I want to make my disciples as gurus. Once that happens then I would cease to take on new disciples, except in rare cases. But I didn't say that people can’t take initiation or shelter, aspiring from me now. But a day will come when I will say that.

The system for aspiring in Namahatta, since they already have Gauranga Prema Swami, I don't take anyone from Namahatta aspiring. But if people want to take shelter, as long as I am giving initiation, they can take shelter. But in a year or two, that may be over. But those who have shelter and those who have aspiring, they will still be eligible to take initiation. So I won’t take any new first initiations. I don't know how to make it more clear. Right now, there is no change. But there may be a change in the future.

I hope this finds you in good health and happy Krsna consciousness.

Your well-wisher always,

Jayapataka Swami

Guru Maharaj added:

"I was a Guru at 28yrs of age. Now I am almost 75. So I want to think ahead, of the succession. And when I am present I can see that the disciples are acting properly. Some of the Gurus who have left, their disciples do not take up to be a Guru for a long time or not at all. So by me finding the succession, I can have many disciples take up this responsibility. Even if they make one disciple, I would be very happy. Just like Saranga Thakur...He made one disciple Murari Chaitanya, but Murari Chaitanya made thousands of disciples."

—————————————————————————————————

If the above is not clear enough, here is what it means:

Since Guru Maharaj has already accepted 50,000 disciples as per Srila Prabhupada's instruction to him and since the number is increasing, he wants to gradually and systematically pass on that responsibility to his disciples and eventually stop initiating, or significantly reduce it. Once that happens, if someone strongly wants initiation from Guru maharaj, he may make an exception but that will not be easy. That will be harder. For now he continues to give aspiring, shelter and initiations but whoever wants to take it from him will have to be quick.

Guideline for Namahatta initiations:

Since HH Gauranga Prema Swami, a disciple of Guru Maharaj, has been blessed by Guru Maharaj and the GBC to be a diksha guru and accept his own disciples, new comers (new akankshi) from Namahatta are advised to approach HH Gauranga Prema Swami for aspiring, shelter and initiation. In other words, so far Namahatta is concerned, Guru Maharaj won't accept new aspiring candidates for initiation. 

However, Namahatta devotees who are already aspiring to take shelter from Guru Maharaj can take shelter and initiation from Guru Maharaj.

Another reason behind Guru Maharaj instructing his disciples to become diksha gurus in his physical presence is, he wants to ensure that they do take up that responsibility and execute their duties as diksha gurus properly. If you need further clarification or have any question, please write to
