DEAR FRIENDS:- HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS - "ISKCON BANGALORE"
My Heartiest Congratulations to Iskcon Bangalore, for the Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony of the tallest temple of The Supreme Lord Krishna in Vrindavan (Mathura - UP, India), by the Name:- "Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir." This Temple will be of 70 storey. This temple will be the tallest temple in the whole world.
A project for building a 70-storey temple, billed to be the tallest shrine in the world, was inaugurated here coinciding with the Holi festival. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla participated in the foundation stone laying ceremony of the skyscraper temple 'Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir' yesterday.
**Iskcon Bangalore also runs a Special Food For Life Programme by the name - "Akshaya Patra." Thousands of poor/needy people/children are served sumptuous food everyday.**
Unfortunately, the other Iskcon Centers, instead of glorifying this effort of Iskcon Bangalore, showed the sign of "envy" for Iskcon Bangalore, by passing some negative remarks against Iskcon Bangalore. Actually, Iskcon Bangalore is the only Iskcon Center, which follows the Final Order on Initiation System established by the Founder/Acharya Srila Prabhupada by the name - "Ritvik System of Initiation" - on July 9th 1977 & His Declaration of Will on June 4th 1977. Other Iskcon Centers are not following the same.
It is clearly mentioned in the Declaration of Will dated June 4th 1977 by Srila Prabhupada, the Founder/Acharya of ISKCON:-
**"The executive directors who have herein been designated are appointed for life. In the event of DEATH or failure to act for any reason of any of the said directors, A SUCCESSOR DIRECTOR or DIRECTORS may be appointed by the remaining directors, provided the new director is **MY INITIATED DISCIPLE** following strictly all the rules and regulations of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness as detailed in my books, and provided that there are never less than three (3) or more than five (5) exeutive directors acting at one time."**
The said Will in writing, made & signed by Srila Prabhupada, clearly says that Srila Prabhupada wanted to remain as the Diksha Guru (Initiating Spiritual Master) of the International Hare Krishna Movement by the name - ISKCON, till the said society remains extant. The same instruction was confirmed in writing & signed by Srila Prabhupada, in His Institutional Directive dated July 9th 1977, to all Governing Body Commissioners & Temple Presidents of Iskcon. But, after the samadhi of our Gurudev Srila Prabhupada, few senior devotees who were appointed as the ritvik representatives of the Acharya Srila Prabhupada or Ritviks or Officiating Priest to initiate the new devotees on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, became the unauthorized initiating gurus, which resulted a catastrophe in Iskcon. When the disciples of a Bonafide Guru don't follow their Guru's Order, the Supreme Lord Krishna becomes very angry. This is what happened in Iskcon, that after the samadhi of Srila Prabhupada, many Iskcon gurus fell down from their spiritual position because they did not follow the The Final Order on Initiation given by our Gurudev Srila Prabhupada.
Unfortunately, today also there are many unauthorized diksha gurus in Iskcon and many brain washed guru sycophants are following them. Still the present unauthorized diksha gurus keep on falling down from their spiritual positions & their sentimental disciples keep on taking the re-initiation from another unauthorized diksha guru. Although, this process is spiritually illegal, then too ISKCON has made this process a law.
On the light of above, I personally support Iskcon Bangalore because only Iskcon Bangalore is following our Gurudev Srila Prabhupada very rigidly.
ALL GLORIES TO OUR GURUDEV SRILA PRABHUPADA....ALL GLORIES TO THE DEVOTEES OF ISKCON BANGALORE & THEIR SUPPORTERS.
OM TAT SAT....HARE KRISHNA
