Support Srila Prabhupāda's ISKCON Movement.

ISKCON-Mumbai had extensively portrayed that the dispute with ISKCON-Bangalore was actually a veiled and vicious attempt by Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa to keep total control of the properties of ISKCON-Bangalore temple with himself and never let anyone else disturb his ownership and control. And that whatever theological dispute he has crafted between ISKCON-Bangalore and ISKCON-Mumbai is simply a sham.

During the process of mediation

ISKCON-Bangalore had offered all of the properties of the Bangalore group (both disputed and undisputed properties) under the full ownership and control of ISKCON-Mumbai.

Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa had agreed to relinquish all his services in the ISKCON Sri Radha Krishnachandra Temple on Hare Krishna Hill and take up other services.

ISKCON-Bangalore had offered all of the properties of the Bangalore group (both disputed and undisputed properties) under the full ownership and control of ISKCON-Mumbai. Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa had agreed to relinquish all his services in the ISKCON Sri Radha Krishnachandra Temple on Hare Krishna Hill and take up other services.

The only demand from ISKCON-Bangalore was that the devotees of ISKCON-Bangalore group are allowed to practice the system of initiation outlined by the institutional directive issued by Srila Prabhupāda on July 9, 1977. This demand was rejected both by the Bureau of ISKCON-Mumbai and International GBC.

The bluff of ISKCON-Mumbai's propaganda that the legal dispute is simply a smoke screen created by Sri Madhu Pandit Dasa to keep control of the ISKCON Sri Radha Krishnachandra Temple on Hare Krishna Hill has become exposed — and proved entirely false.

ISKCON-Bangalore invites all devotees, donors, life patrons and all concerned with the well being of Srila Prabhupāda's ISKCON movement to kindly continue to extend their support in this struggle for establishing Srila Prabhupāda's own directives on succession in ISKCON and end the moral and financial corruption that has become rampant in ISKCON today.
