EDITORIAL  Correcting Misconception In ISKCON EDITORIAL, Mar 27 (VNN) — Recently, ISKCON formally attempted to correct an unfortunate misconception among members regarding Swami B. R. Sridhar Maharaja. According to Chakra, the GBC passed the following resolution as a part of their 2002 Resolutions. 403. Sripad Sridhar Maharaja and the Zonal Acarya System Whereas, a committee composed of Bir Krishna dasa Goswami, Guru Prasad Swami and Kesava Bharati dasa met and discussed with Bhakti Gaurava Narasimha Swami the issue of Sripad B.R. Sridhar Maharaja's relationship to the establishment of the zonal-acharya system in ISKCON; Whereas, the GBC Body recognizes that there may be a mistaken perception in some circles that the GBC holds Sripad B.R. Sridhar Maharaja responsible for ISKCON's acceptance of the zonal-acharya system; [STATEMENT] Resolved, That the impression that may exist in some circles that the GBC Body regards Sripad B.R. Sridhar Maharaja as responsible for ISKCON's accepting the zonal-acharya system is erroneous. The GBC Body realizes that regardless of how the zonal-acarya system evolved, it alone is responsible for its acceptance and implementation. Any imputation that Sripad B.R. Sridhar Maharaja is responsible is wrong. In this regard the GBC Body would like to restate, as per resolution 76 of the 1987 Annual General Meeting, that ISKCON devotees should strictly avoid hearing or speaking personal criticism of Sripad B.R. Sridhar Maharaja. Contact VNN about this story  Send this story to a friend
