WORLD 11/01/1998 - 2441 Registration of All-Russian Association
Moscow, Russia (VNN) - By Vaidyanath das
Dear Maharajas and Prabhus, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I am glad to inform all the devotees that recently our Society in Russia received the certificate about official re-registration according to the new religious law. Russian Society for Krsna Consciousness kept the status of the full-fledged religious organization with all the subsequent rights.
As you may remember, approximately one year ago, when the new religious law was passed by the Parliament we were worried about possible consequences for our Society. At that time many devotees throughout the world were trying to help us. The response of the devotees was overwhelming. We received many letters of support, and a massive campaign was commenced. Especially powerful was the support from India and its leaders. After some time we were assured by some governmental officials that they are not planning to close our Society or diminish its status. Now we received the official confirmation.
We would like to thank all the devotees who helped us during this year (they are too numerous to name them personally). It was a very good example of cooperative spirit which helped us to overcome this obstacle. We are eternally indebted to all of you and always depend on your prayers and good wishes.
The last remark, we received our official registration after Mormons, but before the Russian Orthodox Church.
Your servant,
Vaidyanath das
