Complaint To The Station House Officer,
Subramanyanagar Police Station, Bangalore
From Bharatarshabha Dasa, Iskcon Bangalore
I am a devotee of ISKCON Bangalore. We had received information from the press that our Temple was going to be attacked by ISKCON Mumbai. In accordance with this press information, me and other devotees were standing in front of our Temple, to defend our temple from any such attack.
At around 06.00 P.M, a group of vehicles, about ten in number came in a convoy, to our temple. The group was led by Dayaram Das, Varada Krishna Das, Anukul Kesava, Murali Shyam and some unidentified persons, were there in the group. I was assaulted and physically manhandled by Anukul Kesava dasa (aka Ashok Kumar Gupta), during this time, and I was showered with abuses by the said person. I saw the above persons come in the following cars KA 03MK 2026 Honda Accord (brownish gold colour), AP 05BA5042 (white Maruthi Versa or Ecco not sure) and KA 01 MD 1506- spark Chevrolet.
I was also shoved and pushed around by a person, who was accompanying the group, and whom I can identify, if shown to me.
I have been threatened by these people very badly, and I am now in fear for my life and safety. I have suffered minor injuries to my body also.
Kindly register a case against the said persons, for coming to our temple to incite communal violence, and creating a scene.
Thanking you,

Iskcon Mumbai thug attacking Bangalore Devotees, hitting fist fight.
To: The Commissioner of Police,
Infantry Road, Bangalore city.
Dear Sir,
Sub: ISKCON Mumbai representatives planning to visit ISKCON Bangalore Temple once again on Sunday, June 5th, 2011
As you are aware, on Friday, June 3rd the representatives of ISKCON Mumbai visited the ISKCON temple in Rajajinagar and tried to forcibly enter the temple. We have informed the representatives of ISKCON Mumbai that they should act within the framework of law and initiate the legal process for any change and not just walk in. Despite this they made an attempt on Friday afternoon and it has resulted in media carrying news in bad taste.
Again the devotees of ISKCON Mumbai are attempting to come to the temple on Sunday, June 5th between 7 am and 11 am. We have received SMS messages that describe their plans for Sunday.
We have also obtained the legal opinion of a retired High Court judge, Justice Sri Jagannath Shetty, on the matter of Supervisory Committee constituted by ISKCON Mumbai and the same is enclosed for your perusal. The Honourable Judge has stated that the action of ISKCON Mumbai in setting up the Supervisory Committee is in utter violation of the High Court order. He says it is not only illegal, but also unjust.
Under these circumstances, we request you to provide us police protection to the temple on Hare Krishna Hill especially on Sunday, June 5th, 2011.
We also request you to provide protection to prevent ISKCON Mumbai representatives from storming in to the temple illegally and unjustly.
Thanking you,
Yours in the service of humanity,
Chanchalapathi Das,
Vice President,
ISKCON Bangalore.
Enclosure: Opinion of the former High Court Judge, Justice Sri Jagannath Shetty, on the current matters is enclosed for your quick reference.

This story reminds me of Krsna Balarama Mandir, 1987, in Vrindavan.
Kilan, a Vrajabasi was shot in the guest house when he tried to stop the fighting, but all the police men didn’t care about him.
They started to beat up the devotees including children and matajis because the vice president Ruci-sevana (ACBSP) pushed the police officers backwards.
Everyone was screaming there was blood everywhere I was fighting too to stop them. Those police men were looking horrible like the Yamadutas, then 3 of them tried to catch me while i was running to find a shelter around the temple Parikrama.
I was lucky to find the back door of the restaurant open. Anyway, the vice-president of Krsna Balarama Mandir was wrong he used to smoke ganja. Also he was accused of robbery in the local bank with Dvijvara his godbrother who was able to run away while Ruci-sevana prabhu was caught by police.
I can understand by reading this article that if someone who got responsibility in Krsna consciousness is wrong all the others who are under his authority will suffer as happened in Vrindavan…innocent children with injured head etc…
Therefore ordinary people who are thinking they are devotees by behaving in a demoniac way should be removed immediately.
We are in the material world full of demons who are trying to take over Iskcon Bangalore, the house where the whole world can live in….

Are we fighting for owning property or krishna? krishna resides where there is no disharmony, quarrel, hatred or envy. temples are but just resting places, solid structures for the Supreme Lord. Can the lord rest in a place full of these vices? why fight for such structures devoid of his presence? let us join together and vie for krishnas blessings and love showers on all of us. why possess structures when we cannot have Him? this only proves the extent of our ignorance and foolishness and we claim to the world that we have mastered the scriptures like Bhagavada Gita and are great preachers. will anyone listen to us if we conduct ourselves in this arrogant manner? how can anyone be so empty-headed?
