Some FOLK devotees (Young college students) training at Hare Krishna Hill, Bangalore have come up with an article posted in some prominent blogs, one being jivahimsa that exposes the persons behind the defamatory tabloid websites run by the so-called ISKCON Bangalore Devotee Association or IBDA.
Intending to find the mysterious authors of these unscrupulous “crow-like” sites, one of the our godbrothers at ISKCON, HK Hill, Bangalore decided to investigate. He put up an act of being dissatisfied with the authorities at Hare Krishna Hill, and sought the sympathy of a FOLK member who was known to be working for the other camp. His efforts resulted in exposing the truth of the cyber defamation project masterminded by Doyaram Dasa (Temple President, ISKCON, KOLKATA- Branch of ISKCON, MUMBAI); Varada Krishna Dasa (Legal Head in Bangalore of ISKCON, MUMBAI) designed to try to break the faith of devotees in their seniors at ISKCON, Bangalore.
This they were doing to thereby DESTROY the devotional service of the young devotees so as to make ISKCON Bangalore and Madhu Pandit Das materially “weaker”-an action often heard in connection of Hiranyakashipu, Kamsa etc. in the Srimad Bhagawatam.
We have filed a police case against these persons and the bloggers. Existing cyber laws enable us to sue them for the crime.
It is worth noting that VKD had vehemently stated in a email to Bhima Dasa of Mumbai that he had NO part in these issues, although he wished he did, and praised those who were doing it. Unfortunately for him, his man under the pen name, “77” (Rathish Raghupathy, working for Texas Instruments) confessed that some of these articles were written by him and another FOLK member, under the pen name “Yamaraj” ( Siddharth Gupta, working for SEAMAX), under the direct instigation of Doyaram Das and Varada Krishna Das. Ratish Raghupathy specifically confessed to have pasted the article titled “Madhu Pandit served meat and liquor on HK Hill” with the intention of breaking the faith of the temple devotees in the Temple Management and admitted that he “never saw nor had any proof” that such a thing ever happened at HK Hill.
This further proves the falsity of all the allegations lashed on different devotees of ISKCON–Bangalore from these tabloid sites.
