Looks like the GBC wants to sell a farm while the devotees on that farm dont want to leave. Now these devotees say, the Deities were stolen and the GBC is responsible: "they want to break our determination to keep this farm/temple".

Letter to GBC Bhakti Bhusana Swami from the Devotees of Costa Rica

BY: ANIRUDDHA DASA

 

Jun 1, COSTA RICA (SUN) —

San Jos�, Costa Rica, May 16, 2007

 

Dear Bhakti Bhusana Swami: Please accept our humble obeisances.. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Their Lordships Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundara!

 

May this be the means to communicate you that on April 16th of this present year, we received a letter from mister Manonath dasa addressed to Yamuna Jivana Prabhu, who as you know is an active member of the Hare Krsna movement of Costa Rica since the 80s.

 

Mister Yamuna Jivana dasa, who has been the spokesperson of the devotees of the movement for many years, is currently member and attorney in fact of the �

Asociaci�n Eco Espiritual para el Desarrollo Integral de Ser

�. Such civil association gathers the great majority of local devotees that have served for years to the benefit of the administration, maintenance and support, being it material or spiritual of the Finca Nueva Goloka Vrindavan de Cartago, Costa Rica (the farm).

 

This letter is of great importance. Copies of the same will be sent to hundreds of devotees. Families and individuals that form the previously mentioned Vaishnava community, have decided to write it down on its representation in virtue of the future implications declared in the same. In other words, the letter is a document that embraces the feelings of the Community members, who represent the majority of people that have, for a long time, worked, actually work and will continue to work to serve Your Lordships Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundara.

 

As you might know, mister Manonath dasa appeared in the farm of Your Lordships just two years ago. He came to Costa Rica by invitation of Guru Prasada Swami, as his representative. Unfortunately, since the beginning his participation on the farm�s matters has been characterized for, in a premeditated manner and being conscious of, the creation of an uncertainty environment amongst the devotees regarding the possible sale of the farm. Furthermore, he has been characteristic for expressing degrading comments of the devotees saying they are unable to manage and develop the farm. All these, has clouded the skies of Nueva Goloka Vrindavan.

 

Mister Manonath dasa has been dedicated to take the peace away from us, and thus confirmed, as the realization of a prophesy, the bad but accurate concepts that devotees from other countries have formed about him in Europe and Latin America ( Virbahu himself �invited� him to leave Puerto Rico.)

 

Since his arrival to Costa Rica, mister Manonath dasa not only has NOT worried about paying attention -not to mention the need for improvement- to the social economical conditions of the families and individuals that inhabit in the farm, as is the duty of any appointee of ISKCON, but he has also, regrettably, dedicated himself to COMMIT ABUSES against them.

 

He has not only come to the farm of Sri Sri Nitai-Gourasundara to demand for us to pay for his bills loaded with Italian DELICATESSEN that he buys for himself and for his wife at the time, but he has also come to the extreme to burst into our communal kitchen, as well as the guest house, and claiming the exercise of his authority, has taken with no shame utensils, furniture and other goods that, with a lot of effort the farm devotees have acquired though long years to offer a good service to Their Lordships Nitai-Gourasundara, and to the Community guests.

 

As an authoritarian director with no principles nor morals or respect for his supposed-to-be subordinates, he has SERVED himself from the few means that we have available for his own personal benefit.

 

Mister Manonath dasa has made use of his supposed �authority� to take away such utensils and money and to make use of them in an abusive and shameless manner as means to rent and fill his personal apartment (which he calls �temple�), located near the city of San Pedro.

 

Mister Manonath dasa, far from fulfilling his obligation imposed by his condition of supposed representative of ISKCON, related to the satisfaction of the spiritual and social economic conditions of the families and individuals of the farm in Cartago, now -by writing it in his letter to Yamuna Jivana dated Abril 16th- has the nerve, the AUDACITY to ask us a WARRANT DEPOSIT OF USD$ 10,000 (ten thousand American dollars). We ask: What is mister Manonath dasa pretending to warrant with our contribution?

 

Is it possible that he ignores that this community is conformed by humble people such as goldsmiths, woodworkers, teachers, drivers, and family mothers? Is it possible that he thinks this is the only way (meaning bringing out the money from our pockets and contributing for the deposit) that we will be tied and obliged to the transcendental devotional service?

 

What is Manonath dasa hiding behind the unfair and stale idea of demanding such an amount of money from us?

 

We are now aware of the autocratic ways that in the past this Sr. has made himself notorious for in every country he has lived in. His mental problems might be his very own, but mister Manonath dasa should inform himself better about the countries he visits and its cultural characteristics.

 

Mister Manonath dasa would have done a good job to inform himself that the tragic inquisition times are past as well as the Conquest of America by the Europeans. Mister Manonath would have done good to acknowledge the fact that since 1948, the army and other military institutions were abolished in Costa Rica.

 

It would be very good if mister Manonath dasa could notice that he is ill-treating, trampling upon the Costa Rican soul. This is precisely what he does when, in a high handed and absolute manner, is dismissing the right to vote and respect to independence of criteria of the citizens that inhabit this country.

 

Mister Manonath dasa would have done good to acknowledge that the mission of Sirla Prabhupada was established in Costa Rica in 1971, and that the people that have continued such mission during 26 years, have done it thanks to the LOVE of their message and not recurring to the THREAT and TERROR. Costa Rica is not a country where a person that writes letters like Manonath can be tolerated and subsist for long time.

 

We can look ahead of time and ensure that, as consequence of his acts, mister Manonath dasa is no longer a welcome person in the farm Nueva Goloka Vrindavan, as well as in Costa Rica. Therefore, his stay will not be prolonged anymore. We are sure the skies over Cartago will be clear again soon.

 

In the letter he wrote to our dear spiritual brother Yamuna Jivana Prabhu, mister Manonath dasa makes reference to: �

final resolution on the issue of our movement in Costa Rica according to the decision of the national GBCs and various suggestions�The final decisions were taken by SS Guru Prasad Maharaja and SS Bhaki Bhusana Maharaja, GBCs of Iskcon for Costa Rica, with my modest participation acting as Regional Secretary.

�

 

Dear Bhakti Bhusana Swami: we wish to know if you support or agree with the expression �

final decisions

�. We would like to know if you have had second thoughts or taken into consideration-for the great importance that this is given to by the Costa Rican people, almost 300 signatures from devotees that definitely voted NO in the referendum that ISKCON Resolve very soundly required in a conciliatory spirit.

 

When it is talked about �

final decisions

� adopted by the authorities, without the participation of the local devotees -the reason for any ISKCON project- there is not much space for communication, exchange and feedback.

 

Mr. Manonath dasa should have done right in enquiring that for 20 years, the devotees of the

Nueva Goloka Vrindavan

community have strived themselves daily to preach the Krishna consciousness and put into practice Srila Prabhupada�s instructions.

 

In his letter from April 16, Manonath dasa mentions �

principles and practices

�. What new �principles and practices� does he pretend to impose on behalf of our dear Srila Prabhupada?

 

Mr. Manonath dasa also offends us when he writes: �

we need to go from words to actions

�. If the representatives from ISKCON may remember, this property has subsisted for 20 years with many actions and not so many words. It has subsisted thanks to the devotional love given and very fortunately, with very little dark clouds over its skies.

 

What did Mr. Manonath dasa mean by wanting �action�? What did Mr. Manonath dasa mean when he mentions that �

we have time limitations for different kind of matters, so this is the final moment and it won�t be accepted to waste more time

�?

 

What did Mr. Manonath dasa mean when he orders: �

<do not="" present="" a="" plan="" when="" you="" already="" know="" it="" cannot="" be="" accepted�?=""></do>

What did Mr. Manonath Dasa means when he orders: �

the presentation and discussion period must not be extended for more than 30 days�? What did Mr. Manonath dasa mean when he sentences �our lawyers will execute legal steps for the property�s protection

�?

 

What does Mr. Manonath Dasa hides behind all these restrictions and threats? What is this big rush, that supposedly to solve the needs of a whole Vaishnava community -which includes entire families, who have outlasted in unity over 20 years, now it has to comply, by force, with an 30-day ultimatum to present a complete program of �development�, that it must be adjusted only to the guidelines suggested by this guest from Guru Prasad Swami?

 

Hasn�t ISKCON, during its 36 years of existence in Costa Rica, been able to execute a similar initiative, a similar dream?

 

Or, is it that this irrational demand, which has to be fulfilled in a time record, is already destined to REFUSAL?

 

In the other hand, could it be that the concept of Vaishnava brotherhood which has been practiced for a long time in Costa Rica -particularly, in the property of Their Lordships, regardless to which institution its members were affiliated-, for some reason now it will not be tolerated? Could it be that such VAISHNAVA, existing to the internal of the temples and families dispersed all around the world, for some strange reason, now it will NOT be tolerated?

 

Could it be that the much appreciated lawyers of Guru Prasada Swami in Costa Rica, for being disciples of a guru from �

another institution

�, are equally disqualified

ipso facto

to keep helping and giving their professional services for free?

 

Could it be that Mr. Manonath Dasa pretends to avoid the fulfilment of the prophecy made by an astrologist to Bhavananda dasa, in the sense that our beloved Srila Prabhupada �

would built a house that everyone could live in

�?

 

Dear Bhakti Bhusana Swami, as you may prove, regarding the letter from Manonath dasa we have more questions than answers. We have more uncertainties than certainties. We have more distrust than credulity. We have more suspicions than faith in him. To tell you the truth, our wish -in fact, the wish of

everyone

of the followers and other linked Costa Ricans with the Vaishnava community of

Para�so de Cartago

is that this conditioned soul leaves the country as soon as possible. That he never again sets foot on the land of this country. For the excesses he has made, for his authoritarian abuses, for the disdain and offenses committed against all the local devotees, we do not have any other choice (irrevocable) than to REJECT HIM and REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE his capacity as secretary of ISKCON for Costa Rica. And to any other person that follows his foot steps.

 

Manonath dasa is a person who has problems to distinguish basic concepts. He confuses serving with serving himself, love with domination, negotiation with imposition. He also has difficulties to distinguish between democracy and autocracy, harmony and threat, action and word, brotherhood and hostility. Also, the prabhu confuses concord with disunity, respect with mistreat, austerity with voluptuousness, humility with arrogance, and over all, LOVE with FEAR. For his demonstrated incapacity to understand the difference between these basic concepts, we do not have any other choice (irrevocable) than to REJECT HIM and REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE his capacity as secretary of ISKCON for Costa Rica. And to any other person that follows his foot steps.

 

The Vaishnavas from Costa Rica, the members of the Community living at

Nueva Goloka Vrindavan

, are tired that from above we are imposed with freeloaders and authoritarian persons like Manonath dasa. After everything we have to presence and tolerate, we do not want another conditioned soul threatening to interfere, hinder, or even, terminate with the existence of the property

Nueva Goloka Vrindavan

, eternal home of Their Lordships Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundara. WE DO NOT NEED THEM!

 

The incoherent, outrages and impositions that Manonath dasa states in his letter do not deserve our attention. We are the ones who daily protect and serve Their Lordships. We are the ones who work restlessly and without collaboration from any institution or donors, for Their Lordships� satisfaction. We are the ones who have lived and still live with our families, striving daily to serve nicely the regent Deities of Nueva Goloka Vrindavan: Sri Sri Nitai-Gourasundara.

 

We have had the misfortune that the authorities of ISKCON allowed that a conditioned soul be present as a spiritual master. We are deeply sorry that we were blind, sheep-like, irrational followers of the ISKCON spiritual hierarchy system and administration. But, in spite of our tears and deep sorrow, we have learned our lesson! No more screaming so-called leaders, full with arrogance and bad qualities, lacking of even the basic humanity to be able to treat us as persons, as parts and parcels of Lord Krishna. Those presumptuous leaders with mud feet, have come to Costa Rica to try to direct affairs with iron fist and intransigence. When all is said and done, they are the ones who had to go, with all the grief and no glory, after breaking their vows to sannyasa in the same community.

 

Today, another imposed leader, an ecclesiastic member of ISKCON designated from the �top� -with the tacit and silent support of other GBC�s, as insensitive and irresponsible as him- insists in perpetrating the greatest travesty of all: to sell the property of Prabhupada and of Sri Sri Nitai-Gourasundara. A real estate that DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM!

 

Dear Bhakti Bhusana Swami, the property

Nueva Goloka Vrindavan

is NOT for sale. The property belongs to Their Lordships and, from now on, it will be protected by his true servants.

 

In the year 2000, the national and international public found out about the repugnant details of the impostor that acted as leader, as �bonafide spiritual master authorized by ISKCON� for

Nueva Goloka Vrindavan

in Costa Rica. Today, in 2007, we might have again the need to turn to the attention of the local and foreign public, in order to prevent another atrocity, another immoral act contradicting a heightened spiritual awareness. We would do everything that is in our hands to fulfill the wishes, teachings and instructions of our beloved guru, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, to be respected and put in practice.

 

Your servants,

 

Members of the �

Eco-spiritual Association for the Development of the Self
