This, despite Srila Prabhupada's direct instruction that this cannot be done:
"Another thing is although I have brought this Sankirtana Movement to the Western World we cannot make it copyrighted. The Sankirtana Movement is not my invention. So how can it be copyrighted? Besides that, as you will find in the album of my previous recording, the chanting of Hare Krishna is going on since time immemorial.
"So Hare Krishna cannot be copyrighted, although the tune in which I sing with my disciples, that may be made copyrighted. I have no objection to sign this agreement, but don’t be misled that the chanting of Hare Krishna or Lord Caitanya’s Movement can be made copyrighted."
- Srila Prabhupada letter to Dinesh (10 June, 1969)
[PADA: Not quite sure what is going on with the "Hare Krishna Festivals" people who wanted to use Hare Krishna. Some devotees from one of the "Hare Krishna Festivals" said they are not being supported by ISKCON. If anyone has the details of what is going on here, let us know. ys pd angel108b@yahoo.com]
PADA: Yes! As a matter of fact! We are in charge of the 20 years of banning, beating, molesting, suing and assassinating of Vaishnavas program. Which is giving Krishna's name "goodwill" -- we just can't say on what planet!

Just to let you know:
WHY? do Anti Ritviks want Hare Krishna Copyrighted? because they use it as tool for money making business from Hindus. In UK, long time back Anti Ritvik (former Manchester UK - TP) Krishna Dharma das also sent a letter to Mukunda das on this Hare Krishna Copyright business. What happened is Mukunda das had opened a center in Oldham, Manchester - but Anti Ritviks use "Hare Krishna" chanting as a means for -----milking the Hindus ----means they did not want competition in their donation business.
Hare Krsna!
[PADA: Yes, they want to attract sentimental Hindus who are self evidently secularists, mundane people, or clueless worshipers and enablers of pedophile acharyas. One lady says Namarasa was self evidently never trained as a child in his so-called Hindu culture, because he does not even know that the GBC's homsexual pedophiles are not Krishna's guru successors.
She says, he was not trained as a child in the Krishna religion's process, and he is not being trained now by his so-called gurus. To say that the name Hare Krishna has 20 years of good standing because of ISKCON is another joke, the name has been tarnished badly. They should be sued for giving Krishna a bad name.
And they will be sued in the court of Yamaraja. Yes, it is all about keeping their Hindu business going, so they can recruit the clueless pedophile worshiping class of people who have no idea about the teachings of Krishna. It is a business. And their pedophile worshiping disciples are being trained how to NOT WORSHIP KRISHNA.]
MDD: Oh really. A disciple of the Satanic art guru. And his guru promotes homosexuals as gurus ... and that is giving Hare Krishna a good name. And he has to preserve the good name. Honest!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be not much sense going on here. Typical. We made Hare Krishna into a bad name and ... we are proud of it. Good admission ... you are the ones who made Krishna get a bad name and ... you own it. Better you "own" that and not us.
What idiot thinks he owns Krishna? Oh the Satanic art worshipers. Are we surprised?
MRD: Hare Krsna!
ReplyDeleteThese Anti Ritvik people are not interested in Krsna Consciousness - they use others for their personal service in the name of Krsna Consciousness. Some devotees told me there was a bhaktin named Irene - she was nurse - she gave her life savings to Krishna Dharma - BUT he put all that money----- for his personal home. Then there was was a devotee mentioned called Mick and his daughter Maloney. Maloney was used as a personal servant---- to bring up the Children of Krishna Dharma and his wife Chintamani dham dasi. I was told that Mick was also used.
Hare Krsna!
[PADA: One of the molesting victims told me --They are all the same pigs eating the same stolen garbage. They stole all the money meant to care for us children -- and while they all live opulently like Kim Jong Un, we have had to eat fried crickets and dried weeds. They exploited ISKCON for their personal maintenance, and they still are. And we still get nothing. ys pd]
