“Radhapada paid all the laksmi for the property at Gurusaday Road.”

— DAYARAM DASA
      Contradicting Harivilasa

CHAKRA (Bhaktivedanta Manor, UK) - September 28, 1999: Who financed the Calcutta wedding pandal that recently burned down? Dayaram's version posted below appears to contradict Harivilasa's recollections, who contradicted Hari Sauri's recollections. Who is telling the truth?

More recollections on the financing of the Calcutta pandal property 
by Dayaram das

1. Radhapada paid all the laksmi for the property at Gurusaday Road. The property came to Vijay Thakkar, a property broker and he could have sold the same for good profit but he gave for the same prize he got.

There were two tenants on the property and both of them were requested many times to vacate the building but refused and asked for big money. One of them gave it up without asking for any money when his wife fell sick on Janmastami day and requested her husband to not to hold on Krsna’s property. The other tenant was settled for much less than what they could have asked for.

In this sense Adri calls all of them donors, but the fact remains that all the money to buy that property was given by Radhapada. This is an undisputable fact.

2. He paid for the property at 3C Albert Road and other properties in Calcutta.

3. Apart from this he has donated for Calcutta, Mayapur, Vrindavan and even Russia and other temples. He is undoubtedly the single largest donor in India if not in the world.

Hare Krsna.

Your servant, Dayaram das
