GBC Its-a-con coming apart at the seams

ISKCON GBC making illegal land trusts

 
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

  • Here below we post an eye-witness account (on the day before Prabhupada passed away) to the scamming of these criminals who, without lifting a finger in honest labor ever again in this life, set up for themselves-  free money, free food, free travel, indulgence of whatever quirky narcissistic imponderables imagined in their self fulfilling prophecies, and all this while feasting on cuisine devotedly readied and served by unpaid slaves who believingly and preparedly worship them as Gods-on-earth. 
       
    " After the meeting, when it was concluded who was to be guru, Sudama prabhu, (who explained that he was present throughout the whole meeting), said that Satsvarupa Maharaja then addressed the assembly: "Before we go back, we had better conclude on one story to tell all of the devotees. The devotees are very smart, and if we have different stories, they will know something is wrong.
     
    Satsvarupa Maharaj along with Tamal Krsna then put together the story that these leaders would tell the devotees. Satsvarupa Maharaja wrote it down and he and Tamal conferred back and forth with the other leaders in terms of answering all questions to make sure that there were no "loopholes"-  the EXACT words used by Sudama prabhu-  in the story, and that nothing could go wrong.

    Sudama prabhu stayed on to the next day when Srila Prabhupada actually left. (This was the day immediately after the meeting in which our GBC leaders divided up the world.)  After Srila Prabhupada left the planet, Sudama prabhu immediately left the movement, knowing what had transpired in that meeting, and the material ambition and viciousness of these men.  He could foresee the destruction of the movement.
