ISKCON Bangalore vs ISKCON Mumbai Case - A Merry Go round turn tip

ISKCON Mumbai headed by Srila Prabhupada's disciple HG Jayapathaka Swami [one of the ISKCON GBC member and GBC appointed GURU of  ISKCON] wants to squander ISKCON Bangalore property as well as Vyasa Peeta [Authority Seat] has lead his disciples to create hoax in and around ISKCON Bangalore and its members, though none of the ISKCON members ISKCON international GBC are showing genuine interest with the case.


One can even understand ISKCON Bangalore was instituted at the time when HG Jayapathaka Swami was looking after the South Zone of India, regardless when Srila Prabhuapada was still mortally alive. What we believe here is that no document was ever signed by Srila Prabhupada as he himself was money gravy, Vyasaasana greedy & position greedy person, as the case being how could one even believe that there is any truth in this case??? What one has to observer is that, ISKCON may/could have the sign stamp of proclaimed ISKCON founder and may have duplicitively created documents which may now give a twist to the perinial case.
