WHY THE NA GBC EC FAILS
incompetence or reluctence
WDB
Big, big egos, and serving
Srila Prabhupada don’t mix!
By The WDB Staff
Is it incompetence, or reluctence when a GBC shows a deaf ear to
legitimate complaints and concerns
of their own deviations? Is it
incompetence or reluctence, when
the GBC turns a blind eye to
corrutpion in its own ranks, yet their
own list of banning devotees from
ISKCON, over more minor
offenses, grows and grows? Is it
reluctence or incompetence, when
the GBC know on a certain issue
(like the centralization of temples in
North America), that Srila
Prabhupada said, “no” to, and they
say, “yes?”
Makes you wonder, what’s
going on. We all joined Srila
Prabhupada’s Hare Krishna
Movement, not some schism
hatched out of the brain of some
devotees who enjoy conjuring up
thier own inventions of “change”,
and continuously present newer and
newer editions of ISKCON, some
even with the “whip cream” of
corruption decorating the top.
How so? Who could be so
brazen? Have some of them forgot
what Srila Prabhupada was? A
shatyavesa avatar! Has some of them
forgot, who Srila Prabhupada is THE ACARYA of ISKCON! Have
some of them forgot their own
position, as tiny insignificant
servants of the Supreme Personality
of Servitor Godhead? Have some of
them esopecially forgot - who saved
them?
Yes, you can do a lot with
“absolute power,” and it can do a
lot to you. For most of us - it is
better not to have it. It has done
many in - hit the dirt! It is much
better to see oneself, as the servant
of the servant, of the servant, that
is, if we want to try to please Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is so
much safer for ISKCON and one’s
own spiritual advancement, if we
continue the param para “as it is.”
It will attract the “trust” of
devotees, if they see a new GBC appear
in 2015, that truly wants to listen,
that truly cares, that really wants to
please Srila Prabhupada by putting
his house back together - a house in
which we feel we can all live in,
1) Pro-Iskcon / Pro-GBC / Anti-Corruption
because it is truly Prabhupada that
is in the center!
We think that Srila Prabhupada
would be extremely concerned, in
fact he wrote in a letter to a devotee:
“ I can see that you are doing
something wrong, because there are
so many complaints from the
devotees about your
management....where there is
smoke, there is fire!”
The ones in the GBC, who do
not honor our Founder-Acarya by
keeping their own motives pure, and
want to see how much they can get
away with, testing the faith of the
innocent masses of bhaktas - they,
those deviators, should leave, and
leave us all with that feeling of
perfect love, contentment, the
feeling of having the shelter at the
lotus feet of the ireplacable jagat guru
- His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
No more imitation bottles! Just
the good ‘ol “simply wonderful” life
of doing eveything the Prabhupada
way! Is that too much to ask for?
WATCHDOG BULLETIN / JANUARY 2015
Politics Drag On In ISKCON Phoenix
easy solutions, stubborn obstacles
By Dasarath Das - Founder of ISKCON Phoenix temple
Dr. Misra,
threatened by
GBC and
banned by
temple
president,
Prema Dhatri.
Yesterday I met an Indian lady here in Sedona,
walking the hiking trails with her family. I aksed
where she was from. She replied - Chandler,
Arizona. I asked her if she had been to the Hare
Krishna ISKCON Phoenix temple there. She relied
yes. I told her that I was the one who started the
temple, but that now so much politics and deception
by the temple management is going on. Then with a
serious and soft vocie, she said to me, “That is why I
don’t go there any more.”
What politics? The Phoenix GBC, Hari Vilas,
threatened an elderly Indian gentleman Dr, Misra,
that he would “break his legs” if he came back to the
temple. The temple president, Prema Dhatri, under
the order of her own “guru” Romapada Swami” and
Hari Vilas, took out a legal restraining order against
Dr. Misra, making out some false charges against
him, which he got overturned in an Appeals Court.
They banned 20 more devotees as a response!
Nevertheless, three times at the temple, and one
time at a home satsang program, when Dr. Misra
tried to come by the temple and have darshan, and
after he won the Appeal, the temple president Prema
Dhatri called the police to have him kicked out. His
crime - he was having darshan of the Lord!
Where has such hate come from? How does
this behavior from Prema Dhatri (Pratibha Somaiya)
and the GBC Hari Vilas, resemble in any way the
teachings of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita? It is
not sanctioned by any saintly character, as should be
possessed by a Vaishnava devotee.

members from

Rumor has it that the GBC man Hari Vilas will
be replaced soon. However, no apologies by the
North American GBC Executive Committee (NA
GBC EC) headed by Nityananda dsa, have been
made to any of those families or Dr. Misra, for the
threats and abuse they have had to endure from the
hands of this thug-like behavior of the ISKCON
Phoenix temple authorities.
Readers should know that this is NOT in any
way the manners as taught by His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who was
the Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, and who himself
opened 108 hare Krishna temples throughpout the
world, from 1966 to 1977. Members of ISKCON,
especially temple leaders and GBC (Governing Body
Commissioners) who oversee the Society’s activities
and missionary work, are duty bound to exhibit
proper humility and Vaishnava behavior in all
dealings. This “out of place” and agreesive disorder
exhibited by the Phoenix temple president and her
commanding GBC Hari Vilas, clearly shows a gross
transgression of human decency, a deficit of spiritual
character, and dis-regard of Vaishnava teachings.
Members of the “banned” are calling for the
resignation of Mrs. Somaiya and her husband from
being the temple officers. So far, the NA GBC EC
has only backed up her actions, and labeled the
innocent banned devotees as trouble makers who
need to learn from Somaiya, how a proper Vaishnava
behaves, according to statements by Nityananda
Das, the chairman of the NA GBC EC. Amazing!
Heavy handed tactics leading to call
for resignation of temple president,
vice president of ISKCON Phoenix.

actions, she should be removed as TP.

What makes these men think that lying
to deceive and presenting false
information to temple authorities (as in
the documented case of the Phoenix
temple “coup” of 2007), lying to fellow
members of ISKCON’s Governing Body
Commission (GBC), lying to devotees in
general as well as to temple
congregations and the general public
(as in the recent 2014 NA GBC cover-up
of an “unfinished” audit of the temple
funds and personal finances of temple
president Prema Dhatri), is standard
ethical behavior expected of GBC
members? Why haven’t these men
been held accountable for their breach
of fiduciary duty as GBC members? A
brahmana’s or GBC’s integrity is
measured by his honesty. Where do
they get their authority to break the
rules of the GBC, or to break the faith
of devotees, in their double-standard in
leadership?

APPENDIX: From the ISKCON Law Book
8.4.8.6
Culpable Falsehood Before The GBC
A person who commits perjury
(intentional falsehood) while asserting
something or testifying something before the
GBC or a body representing the GBC is to be
corrected with a suitable remedial measure.
What ever a “great” man does
the whole world follows / Bhagavad-gita
By WDB Staff
While banning innocent families from coming to Krishna’s
temple, lying and providing false information to other GBC
authorities and temple leaders, and cover-ups of incomplete
audits of the temple and its leader, would not be called “great,”
still such erroneous behavior sets a very bad precedent for others
to follow and would be called by any other name - corruption!
It IS the duty of those who are in the leadership position,
GBCs of ISKCON, to behave without duplicity, without a
double-standard for their own members, and to be thoroughly
honest in all dealings. Forsaking such important guidelines and
brahminical ethics, would open the door for future cheating also,
by self-interested parties who wish to cause chaos in an
important religious Movement and tradition.
The example of perfect behavior was followed by His
Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, who trained his disciples how to
similarly act selflessly for the spiritual welfare of the entire world.
The Krishna consciousness Movement calls for complete
dedication and surrender to a “guru” or spiritual authority.
But the acceptance of persons in the dress of leaders who
use political and duplicitous tactics for manifesting their own
personal dream for power and control, makes it nearly
impossible to be trusted, what to speak of being followed.
Therefore, the Watchdog Staff calls for a probabtion on all
those whose names and pictures are illustrated above, for
deliberate neglect of proper duty and truthfulness.
It is also the advice of the WDB that the GBC should ask
the body of temple presidents for their help, in electing a
supervisory committee who have jurisdiction to investigate and
suggest remedial measures for those GBC members who wish to
bring into their management parameters, highly unacceptable
ethics of management that will degrade the standard of purity in
ISKCON and jepordize the faith of its followers.

transgresssions, see http://watchdogbulletin.org.

ISKCON INTERNAL
AFFAIRS - I.I.A.
Checks and Balances
“It is high time
that the GBC
takes seriously,
accountability of
their own
members.”
By WDB Staff
It has been suggested, that just as in a
police department, they have an Internal
Affairs that investigates and corrects
“bad cops,” similarly in ISKCON,
perhaps it is time we start something
similar. This way, any corruption in the
GBC won’t go on unanswered.
We are looking for three to five devotees,
who would like to begin to form a model
of an I.I.A. Such devotees should be
serious but kind hearted, and wanting to
see a GBC that is regulated by purity
with no tolerance of any kind of inhouse corruption. As the present GBC
may not be “feeling the need” for such
an I.I.A., perhaps with an initial model
we can exhibit to some open minded
members of the GBC, the significance
and critical need of an Internal Affairs
for ISKCON, to help guard against
corruption.
Interested devotees may contact us at

DALLAS TP/GBC meeting
suggested topics
By WDB Staff
NITYANANDA DAS - NA GBC EC Chairman
and ISKCON Dallas temple president:
“I would expect some corruption in
the GBC. It is Kali-yuga. It is the
material world.”
1) Reversing the “centralized by-laws” of
the NA GBC EC, of which their was
never any mandate or resolution from
the International GBC Office to adopt.
It puts the temples at leagal risk, and
gives the local GBCs too much power.
2) How to un-do the banning of so many
devotees, with apology from the heads,
the GBCs, and start to see every devotee
as an asset in the sankirtan preaching
Movement.
3) How to start local farms for each temple,
in keeping with Srila Prabhupada’s
desire, and preparing for the upcoming
world chaos and necessity of survival.
4) How to encourage the 4 natural divisions
in society, both material and spiritul,
varnasrama, and set up some experimental
role models in the U.S.A.
5) The almost billionaire, Gopal Bhatta
prabhu, should be encouraged to buy an
expensive building in Washington D.C., not
far from the White House, for a world class
Govinda’s and combination cultural Vedic
preaching center, with a focus on attracting
world leaders to Krishna consciousness.
This could have a big strategic impact of
KC in this country. Another idea would be
for Gopal Bhatta prabhu to help finance
Bhagavad-gita billboards in major cities. He
could also buy land for varnasrama.

honesty, love, trust
and the absence of corruption
Devotees are resevoirs of good qualities. You will find no
negative qualities in the character of a real devotee.
Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta,
says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a
Vaisnava and that only by the presence of these good qualities
can one distinguish a Vaisnava form a non-Vaisnava.
Krsnadasa Kaviraja lists the twenty-six good qualities of a
Vaisnava: (1) He is very kind to everyone. (2) He does not make
anyone his enemy. (3) He is truthful (4) He is equal to everyone.
(5)No one can find any fault in him. (6) He is magnanimous. (7)
He is mild. (8) He is always clean. (9) He is without
possessions. (10) He works for everyone's benefit. (11) He is
very peaceful. (12) He is always surrendered to Krsna. (13)
He has no material desires. (14) He is very meek. (15) He is
steady. (16) He controls his senses. (17) He does not eat more
than required. (18) He is not influenced by the Lord's
illusory energy. (19) He offers respect to everyone. (20) He
does not desire any respect for himself. (21) He is very grave.
(22) He is merciful. (23) He is friendly. (24) He is poetic. (25)
He is expert. (26) He is silent."
To be a GBC in ISKCON, it should be required that one must
possess these 26 qualities of a Vaishnava, then everyone he or
she deals with, will be happy. As Srila Prabhupada said, “there
is NO ROOM FOR POLITICS IN KRISHNA
CONSCIOUSNESS.”
7) Pro-Iskcon / Pro-GBC / Anti-Corruption
Evidence of Phoenix temple TP filing “fudged” legal documents. (continued from pg.2)
Dear Madhusevita das (GBC Chairman), (sent several years ago with no response)
Jai Prabhupada.
These state documents (attached below) filed by Pratibha Somaiya show
that she is not only very dishonest, but disloyal to Iskcon and the GBC.
She and friends were planning a second coup to take over the temple.
On August 26th, 2006, State Corporation papers were filed showing Daru
Krishna (Dennis Kelly) as the temple president. On February 26th, 2007,
Pratibha Somaiya filed different papers, naming a different person as the
temple president other than Daru Krishna, who was still the bone fide
president appointed by Romapada Swami.
So she changed not only him as president, but added other persons as
directors without the knowledge or sanction of the GBC Hridayananda
Maharaj. Notice on the forms how she crosses out Daru Krishna as stauatory
agent, and signs the paper in her own blood, binding herself as the
conspirator. This is no small thing. Her and her friends she brought in as
Directors are not initiated and do not follow the regulative principles.
She has illegally changed names of the bone fide directors of the
corporation and established new people as such. This lady is the person
who Hari Vilas entrusts to run the temple now, and she and her husband own
a resort that has a bar. We are going to trust such persons with the
Iskcon Phoenix temple?
Romapada Swami still favors this lady (his future disciple) because
through her he can get in the back door now and increase his laxmi
collection. Research it if you care to. Your servant, Dasarath das
