Subject: A message From St.Petersburg temple

We, members of St.Petersburg yatra want to express our complete disappointment due to the last Statements of EC GBC regarding our spiritual master and GBC His Divine Grace Harikesa Swami Sri Visnupad. Similar irresponsible statements directed towards not only on destroying of our faith in our spiritual master and GBC but also in the whole ISKCON. Similar attitude to the person who sacrificed whole his life to this movement, who led and inspired many huge projects in this movement, who took care of devotees in general and of his own disciples like nobody else in this movement, who translated and publishes hundreds of millions of Srila Prabhupada's book and who by seeing your irresponsible attitude to the devotees in ISKCON sacrificed all his glory and even his life for establishing varnasrama dharma and let the devotees of our movement to find their own place and be happy, is showing that our GBC body which you lead is completely irresponsible body which is not able to solve any problems of ISKCON at all but on the contrary able to create great harm for our society. The proof of this is your statement.

That is why considering your incapabality to manage this movement we are very much afraid of the future of thoushands members of our yatra who may be led by such irresponsible people as you. We can not anymore trust you and put our lives in the hands of such irresponsible leaders as you. We, whole St.Petersburg yatra, are rejecting you from this day as GBCs and we don't need your leadership anymore. And we will keep Sri Visnupad as our GBC in spite of all your statements since you completely discredit yourselves by your attitude. We will continue our service to Srila Prabhupad under the guidance of our GBC and spiritual master His Divine Grace Harikesa Swami Maharaj. If you will try to counteract our activities it will create a war between all of the devotees and you will be guilty for all the consequences. This situation can be rectified only if you publicly appologize for all the offenses you made to our GBC and spiritual master and abolish all your statement and beg forgiveness to all Sri Visnupad's disciples who you bewildered and create such a pain in their hearts.
