ISKCON Devotees Petition Narendra Modi

Please protect ISKCON devotees, Temple and Ashram in Vrindavan

Narasimgha das started this petition to Narendra Modi, Premier Minister of India

1. We are ISKCON devotees from different countries around the World. Being influenced and enticed by the rich culture of the Hinduism, we came to India to study about the intrinsic fact of Hinduism and ancient Vedic Culture and Knowledge through ISKCON. We are a followers and propagators of Hinduism continuously residing in India with the permission of Government of India.

2. We being the followers and propagators of Hinduism and unique Vedic Culture and Knowledge purchased residential plots and constructed Ashram / Temple Sri Vrindavan Dham, also known as Russian House near ISKCON Temple, Ramanreti, Vrindavan for devotional purpose, for study and practice of ancient Vedic Knowledge and Culture and for seva in ISKCON Temple.

3. Sri Vrindavan Dham Ashram / Temple newly made for devotional purpose and including Ashram, Temple, Bhagavad Katha Hall and Prasadam Hall for free distribution prasadam, Goshala at Kalide with 40 cows. Devotees from this Ashram are doing many cultural program, seva in Temples and charitable activity, 300-400 local people and pilgrims get free food prasadam every day within last 4-5 years.

More then 350 devotees from more then 10 different countries around the World received Diploma Bhakti Shastri and another ISKCON Courses from our Vaishnava Academy Vrindavan - VAV which we organized in this Ashram within last 5 years, and after that these devotees went to their countries for propagating of the Hinduism, Krishna Bhakti and unique Vedic Knowledge and Culture around the World.

4. In this Ashram permanently stay around 200 foreigners international ISKCON devotees of Lord Krishna (and during Kartik or Festival time around 400 devotees stay in this Ashram). These devotees do daily seva in ISKCON Temple and in Temple of Sri Vrindavan Dham Ashram for Deities: Sri Sri Krishna Balaram, Sri Sri Radha Syamasundar and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, Sri Nrisimhadev, Sri Jagannatha, Sri Chaytanya Mahaprabhu.

5. The foreign devotees coming to India to study the Hinduism required easily-available residential accommodation, as such we applied for approval of sanction plan for construction to MVDA - Development Authority after obtaining the no objection from the Municipality Vrindavan.

6. MVDA in pursuance to our application granted us a letter dated 21.08.2012 bearing file No. 89/V-12-13 approved the sanction plan granting permission to raise construction. In consequence to the approval, we raised construction over our lands as per the sanctioned plan.

7. Due to need of the demand of the foreign devotees who are coming to India to study Hinduism and Vedic Culture, devotees felt the need of raising additional construction over the existing floor, as such on 18.01.2014 we requested the MVDA seeking permission to raise additional construction over the existing structure. The officials of the MVDA asked to deposit fees for raising additional construction, as such we have deposited Rs. 2,00,000/- Rs on 18.01.2014 and 2,00,000/- Rs on 30.3.2017 Rs. Total 4 Lakh Rs.

8. But some local officials are trying to create big problems and are threatening to demolish the upper floors, and there is a group of persons who want to remove all foreigners out of their homes by capturing the property of the Russian House.

On 21.07.20 suddenly MVDA people affixed the notice dated 16.03.2019 on the wall of Ashram stating that if the devotees shall not remove the unauthorized construction over the properly then MVDA will initiate appropriate proceeding for destruction of Ashram and the Temple of Sri Krishna. But earlier we never received any notice from MVDA about canceling our compound application for extra construction.

On 26.09.2020 more than 10 people from MVDA and police came to Ashram and sealed 18 apartments where international devotees reside in Sri Vrindavan Dham Ashram / Temple and told to the devotees to leave apartments and buildings within 24 hours. After this horrible harassment all ISKCON devotees from different countries around the World residing in Ashram were suffering and worried of lot.

9. But international borders are now closed and there are no international flights, and devotees of ISKCON accepted India and Vrindavan as their shelter and home especially during COVID 19, so now it is very critical situation for all the devotees of Lord Krishna residing in Sri Vrindavan Dham Ashram / Temple because they do not have another possibility and no other shelter. So all the international devotees are suffering so much.

10. On 25.09.2020 suddenly was burnt Ashram's Generator and basement rooms (with loss of 14 Lakh Rs). Then some group of persons who want to remove all foreigners out of their homes by capturing the property of the Russian House with the help of some locals - managed 2 fake FIR against the devotees / managers / trustees with the intention to put them in jail and control and grab the Ashram. 

After this horrible harassment all ISKCON devotees from different countries around the World residing in the Ashram are suffering and worried of lot about their lives till now under big and serious danger.

11. The house administration continues to work with the Indian government and lawyers are already finding ways to solve these issues. But we really need your help and support. And first of all - spiritual support. We humbly request you to support the Russian House and the Russian Community of ISKCON devotees in Vrindavan.

12. We very very much appreciate and very much respect that earlier Hon’ble PM of India Narendra Modi Ji many times helped ISKCON and we pray and hope that in this horrible situation for us Hon’ble PM of India Narendra Modi Ji will help us and save us from the destruction of our Temple of Lord Krishna and our Ashram.

PRAYER :

We humbly pray to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji may he kindly be pleased to allow us - ISKCON devotees of Lord Krishna from different countries around the World to continue to peacefully reside and to do seva in the Holy place Vrindavan and please kindly protect us from horrible harassment and save our Sri Krishna Temple / Ashram Sri Vrindavan Dham from destruction and kindly help to complete Sri Krishna Temple in Vrindavan - Holy birth place of Lord Krishna.

With endless gratitude and humble obeisances to all the devotees and well-wishers -

residents of the Russian House and devotees of the Russian Community of ISKCON devotees in Vrindavan.

Please kindly send this Petition to everyone you know.

[PADA: Wow! Sign me up! I too wanna get my GBC "Bhakti Shastri Exam Completion Certificate." Now I know that India's acharyas and Krishna's guru successors are often: drunkards, drug addicts, deviants, perverts, sexual predators, criminals, homosexuals and orchestrators of mass molesting and murders. 

Why is anyone from the India government allowing this bogus preaching to be going on in the first place is the real question? 

Sorry! We hope this house of foolishness gets dismantled as soon as humanly possible. Get these molester messiahs project leaders, their foolish followers, and their pedophile and porno watching guru's samadhis out of the dham ASAP! No, we do not want these people and their worship their pedophiles in samadhis project in the dham for even one more second. Evict the lot of them! 

Narendra Modi, get these people OUT OF THE DHAM. 

Or maybe, that is exactly what is being done for us by other means. It does seem that the gates are closing in on the pedophile messiah's project in many different forms these days. Goody!
