Bangalore, India
ISKCON Bangalore started as an ISKCON temple under the direction of Jayapataka Swami. After some time the Temple President, Madhu Pandit das, was convinced that Srila Prabhupada established a system of ritvik initiations in ISKCON and that Prabhupada intended that he would continue accepting disciples in ISKCON even after he physically left our vision. This system is codified in a letter written by Tamal Krishna Gosvami and signed by Srila Prabhupada on July 9th, 1977. It is on the authority of this July 9th letter that ISKCON Bangalore have established the ritvik system of initiation where the devotees directly accept initiation from Srila Prabhupada. This puts the ISKCON Bangalore group of temples against ISKCON so ISKCON have rejected the ISKCON Bangalore group and claim they are not part of ISKCON....
This is a confidential video made for ISKCON Bangalore devotees some years ago where the leaders of including the Temple President, Madhupandit Prabhu, discuss the history of Bangalore and how that temple came to accept the ritvik orders that Srila Prabhupada gave in his July 9th, 1977 letter to all GBC members and Temple Presidents. It is a very interesting film.
Shows a typical Sunday at the ISKCON Bangalore Temple. ISKCON Bangalore is contraversal because they have realized that Srila Prabhupada is still living and still able to guide devotees even though from the material point of view he is no longer physically present. They have accepted the ritvik instructions Srila Prabhupada gave in his July 9th 1977 letter and it seems to be going on quite nicely as you will see from this video.
