INTRODUCTION:
In later part of 1998 Madhu Pandit das found out about the unimaginable criminal history of the self-proclaimed ISKCON Gurus and their propaganda to cover their tracks since they hijacked ISKCON in 1977. He and the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore were horrified. It was a paradigm shift that sent their lives on a new course. It was a traumatic experience. In March of 1999, Madhu Pandit das started a court case as a plaintiff to defend the ISKCON Bangalore Temple from the ISKCON Guru Mafia.
Madhu Pandit das, the temple president of ISKCON Bangalore, had to act quickly in the legal arena to protect the devotees at ISKCON Bangalore from the ISKCON Gurus and their misled followers.
The times were in a state of chaos and grate disturbance due to ISKCON Gurus raiding yet another ISKCON temple in Calcutta with brute force.
Madhu Pandit das feared the same could happen in Bangalore. He wanted to appeal to the world wide ISKCON Community for justice, and he wanted to COOPERATE with the rest of the society with peace and understanding.
Madhu Pandit approached the whole legal case in an alternative, peace-making, compromise setting way to give everyone time to think. In India, litigation may take many years to come to a conclusion. He hoped that the world wide devotee community would come to understand his pleas.
He presented himself as ‘a representative’ of ISKCON Bangalore Branch of ISKCON Mumbai in hopes that eventually the whole case would be settled out of court in a respectful Vaishnava/Devotee-like manner.
Initially he claimed that ISKCON Gurus/GBC could not remove him from the ISKCON Bangalore ‘branch’ of ISKCON Mumbai, because he and all of the devotes at ISKCON Bangalore did not and do not agree with their manufactured Guru doctrines.
The deep-rooted problem is ISKCON Mumbai has been hijacked and run by bogus ISKCON Gurus for 3 decades. The truth of ISKCON checkered past has started to become very clear.
Madhu Pandit das and the Bangalore devotees spent many years building the Bangalore Temple, while Jayapataka Swami (then a Guru considered to be as good as God ) would come to visit only once a year to collect donations and then fly away. Those were the days of tantric spells and black magic done by ISKCON Gurus to control their followers. This sinister plot was known as the Guru Business.
Madh Pandit das was one of the few temple presidents who had the courage to stand up against the bogus ISKCON gurus.
The ISKCON Gurus have been relentlessly attacking without compromise, trying to find any possible fault with Madhu Pandit das and devotees at ISKCON Bangalore.
To the credit of Madhu Pandit and the devotees of ISKCON Bangalore, in spite of vicious attacks from ISKCON Gurus and their followers, they were still able to initiate and expend Akshaya Patra’s (2000) mid day meal program which is presently feeding 1 million children every day. The whole project under Madhu Pandit’s leadership escalated exponentially during the times of heavy legal struggles.
During the stressful year of 1999, Madhu Pandit das, who under the pressure of violent events, his life’s paradigm shock, as well as not being savvy into technicalities of law, from a ‘spiritual’ standpoint considered ISKCON Bangalore to be a branch of ISKCON Mumbai.
He saw them and accepted them to be ‘spiritually’ connected as branches of Lord Chaitanya’s Sankirtan Movement. So in this way he approached the case.
As discovered later on by an attorney, ISKCON Bangalore, as a corporation, was registered as a completely different entity from ISKCON Mumbai under Karnataka Societies Act in 1978.
Madhu Pandit’s mistake was that he tried to view the situation from a spiritual perspective, when in this case, it needed to be seen as a legal dispute. He did not have time to prepare properly as he was dealing with violent ‘temple raids’ by ISKCON Gurus in India, and due to his own ‘illusion’ (one of the defects of a human being) did not say up front that ‘materially’ ISKCON Bangalore is a completely different society/corporation from ISKCON Mumbai just as HOTEL Oberoi is completely different from HOTEL Taj. They have nothing in common with each other except for their first word.
To dispel that ‘illusion’ of Madhu Pandit das the devotees and the congregation at ISKCON Bangalore went to the court and presented all legal documents proving ISKCON Bangalore to be an altogether different registered corporation/entity from ISKCON Mumbai. They said that Madhu Pandit das, who under the pressure of time and circumstances presented himself as he did, has no rights to ‘give’ them (ISKCON Bangalore) to ISKCON Mumbai just as the Prime Minister of India has no rights to ’give’ India to Pakistan.
After ten years, the legal battle continues.

In spite of all peace negotiations past and recent ones Bangalore devotees tried to offer, finally these devotees decided they do not want anything to do anymore with pedophiles, psychopaths, pirates and poison-givers as self-proclaimed Gurus posing in the garbs of saints and claiming to be God’s Chosen on earth while deceiving countless innocent souls and doing unimaginable crimes and multi-billion business scams in the name of Religion.
